[HTC EVO 3D] HiredGUN.45:
For me, this thread by forum member 'WillJitsu' was most helpful:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192868

He made youtube walk through videos that were very clear. It's pretty easy but if you are nervous, just watch them a few times and I'm sure you'll get a good idea of the process.

After S-Off, some had 'error 16' messages when trying to dial or text. It happened to me as well. As you might of read, just let the phone connect to Sprint and the representative will fix it on their end. Or just call the activations line and tell them you got a 'error 16' and can't dial, they'll fix it for you. If clockwork recovery fails for you like it did for me, 'WillJitsu' also posted a video for the TeamWin recovery install.

The only problem I had was during the '.zip' name change. On my computer running Windows 7, the file name doesn't show the '.zip' at the end so when I was changing it as instructed, I got errors (since I didn't know, I was accidentally making into a '.zip.zip' thus it never worked). Other than that, it was very simple to do.

Hope it helps and good luck!
[HTC EVO 3D] constevens:
Thanks for the replies so far. Any other quirks or things I need to know ? I totally wanna do this. I think tonight I will do temp root do a titanium backup and read some more and check out the videos. Do a factory reset after the temp root then go after the full perm root. Is there any way to avoid the error 16 and customer service call or is it a random issue?

I'm also curious. Let's say I want to return the phone back to stock and unroot it ? Can I and how? Also what's a good ROM for me to start with? Anything to avoid?

Sorry for all the noob questions. I totally apreciate the help and advice.

[HTC EVO 3D] Andy0682:
just read the instructions and follow them step by step and you will be fine :)

happy flashing!
[HTC EVO 3D] HiredGUN.45:
You should just do the Revolutionary method, no need to temp root anymore. IIRC there were some that had problems since they started with temp root and attempted to do Revolutionary (best to search on this to confirm and see what kind of resolution they took).

Not sure if the Sprint call centers are open on the weekends so probably do it on Monday during their normal business hours.

For the Error 16, don't worry about calling in, they fix it quickly after you answer some account security questions to confirm that you are the actual owner of the account. If you search, someone posted how to do this without calling in but honestly I can't remember if it worked or not plus you might need your msl number.

To revert back to S-On, here's the post by 'rtbluver':

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194053

I've never done the S-On so I can't comment on it.

Whole bunch of ROM's in the Developer section, best to click on them and see what they offer. It really depends on what you want in a ROM.

Good luck, enjoy your 3D!
[HTC EVO 3D] constevens:
Thanks all..

Well HiredGUN.45 , I didnt get to read your post before hand but I did do the Temp root. From what I read about doing perma root after doing Temp root is you need to do a factory reset. I assume after doing that I can load my back up from Titanium Pro and it will return it all as it was before temp root? Or do I need to do something different?

And I wont be doing Perma Root Til Monday in case I need to call in for the Error 16 issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] constevens:
Heres a question as I dont know......

When Rooting a Phone does it keep all the same functions? I noticed there was a flash/rom for the Radio in the phone. Why would you need to flash that? I still want to make sure I can Text, Call, Use 3 and 4g as well as my other features.
[HTC EVO 3D] Andy0682:
yes, you still keep all the features...just read each rom, pretty sure all roms have everything working but every now and then you may get a bug like we did with the og evo like 4g wouldn't work or hdmi etc...however they would eventually all get fixed due to the great devs we have here.

The reception of your phone depends on a combination of many different things, including your radio. Flashing a new radio will change the performance of your wireless signal, maybe for the better, maybe for the worse...

I would only flash a radio if I were you if a Rom Developer had specific instructions to do so.
[HTC EVO 3D] r0cky0790:
First root your phone with revolutionary. Everything will still remain the same as if nothing happened. When your phone boots back up, let it go through the handsfree activation. This should help you avoid the error 16 message. If not try to make a call and let sprint fix the issue, and of course don't mention root. Everything after the actual root process is a step by step learning type of thing. Email me and ill be glad to help you get started with all the benefits of rooting, or if you need help or questions with the actual revolutionary process I can help out as well.

[HTC EVO 3D] constevens:
Ok I did the Temp root. Used Titanium Back up ( I also use another good back up program that works with bot root and non rooted phones My back up pro) But I did get successful Temp root. I went ahead and made back ups. Then did a factory restore. Wiped both the Phone and SD card. Now I have something different going on. I use a Blueant Blue Toorh head piece. It talks and reports things to you. But before all this When I powered on the Head piece. It would say " Powering up" Followed by "Your Phone is Connected" Then Followed by saying "HTC EVO 3D"

Now it says ALL of that EXCEPT.... When it gets to wher it says the manufacture and name of the phone... It says "PG 86 thousand One hundred" And yes I know thats the Model number of the Phone. But what happened to the HTC Evo 3D call out?

Either way Tomorrow at some point in time Im gonna do Perm root.

r0cky0790 I may just take you up on your offer. Thanks!!!

[HTC EVO 3D] techspec06:
After you root and activate and verify that everything is working on your rooted stock rom, I'd recommend that you do a nandroid backup before you start flashing other roms. That way, you'll always be able to find your way back to where you were right after rooting in case things go south. Be sure to check the box next to "wimax" and verify that they get backed up with everything else. Should be around 12MB of data in a folder at the backup location on your SD card. Wouldn't hurt to keep a couple full backups.

The ability to nandoid backup is the main reason I root my androids.

Jason
[HTC EVO 3D] constevens:
This is good info right here. So I can do a Nandroid Back up of my factory set up.. and if I want to go back or need to I can? Very cool.

So how does one do this and what tools does one need?
[HTC EVO 3D] kawaski47:
You do this VIA your recovery menu under 'nandroid'. I just rooted mine today and had a couple stumbling blocks that weren't outlined in the root guide and I can see pplnew to this banging their heads out of frustration.feel free to pm me if you run into any issues. You may run into an issue with adb not seeing your device,and your bootloader not seeing your recovery.zip both had me stumped for a while but the fixes were really easy.
[HTC EVO 3D] constevens:
So it sounds like the Teamwin recover is a preferred over the clockwork???

Also want to say You all have been very awesome and thanks a ton for assisting a new person to the forms as well as the Android world. Its been very refreshing and fun. You all Rock!
[HTC EVO 3D] constevens:
Ok ive now got S-off...... Im trying to install the Teamwin Recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] kawaski47:
If you did what i just highlighted then you basically temp rooted for nothing. From my limited understanding, temp rooting is just to get a Titanium backup of the stock phone in case anything happens. But if you wiped the phone AND the SD card then you erased any backup you made.

Updates

Gingerbread for Verizon, with 3G, and Full Root, and De-bloated. Also did TouchWiz 4.5. Oh, its the real Deal, the real Verizon EFO1 Gingerbread base.

Worked alot on this the past few days, trying to get it out as a suprise to you Verizon guys by thursday, but man.....my back and arms are killing me, had to take some breaks.

Before the details.....

I need to get on a knee here and thank DirtyDroidX, and P3Droid. Because if it wasnt for them, I wouldnt have this build, I would be releasing a hacked Sprint GB with a half working 3G. Also, Spacemoose for his continuing support, and help with the Kernel, recovery, the questions, the calls, it never ends for that poor guy.

I want everyone to go out, and buy the Team BlackHat app TODAY as a thankyou to them for delivering this much needed resource to me, and Donate to DirtyDroidX, and to Spacemoose, they all pitched in alot of work. Im serious, get the TBH app, donate to me some other day. Im doing this for you, not the money.

Ok, details.

This is EFO1.

Verizons Gingerbread.

This is not so much a leak (though it could be considered a leak by me, im not leaking it) This IS the EFO1 that TBH has released today, however, I worked it so much that P3Droid agreed that it is my build, so I felt confident and not paranoid ( lol ) about releasing my build today.

What did I do?

Debloated

53 pieces of CRAPWARE EFF YOU Verizon!!

TouchWiz 5

Full 100% without question Root (damn, it was a ***** to, however i cant believe my newb ass did it)

FULL working 3G !!!!!!!!

Version 1.0 of Confidence and Paranoia is running the Stock VZW Kernel and Recovery. Spacemoose is working on a Kernel Fix for this right now. As it stands, its Either 3G on Stock Kernel+Root, or Custom Kernel+Recovery and Root, I decided the 3G was more important

Seriously, donate to those guys, by the app, so my relationship continues to be good with them and I can get stuff like this, as it is, I am giving them all the source material they want from this, so dont be surprised if this is on the TBH soon.

Screenshots.......

Instructions.......

Open Heimdall

Put Tab in Download Mode

The Following Files go in the following slots....

factoryfs goes in the FactoryFS

zImage Goes in Kernel

param.lfs goes in Param.lfs

cache.rfs goes in Cache

dbdata.rfs goes in Database Data

recovery.bin goes in Recovery

DO NOT DEVIATE

Tab will reboot.

Immediately force a reboot into Recovery

Yes I know its factory, Dan is working hard on repairing the CWM and Custom Kernel for this.

Wipe Data/Factory reset

Wipe Cache

Reboot

And Enjoy.

Massive updates are coming. I swear.

Enjoy

The Download...........

VERSION 1.0 will stay up as is. Version 2.0 Themed will be in Post #2

Better Than Life Confidence and Paranoia EFO1 GB V 1.0 HERE

If you like my work, feel free to donate.[/QUOTE]
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oldmacnut:
Special Thanks go to..

Spacemoose, for his sexy phone voice, and constant answer to my unorthodox ways of doing things.

DirtyDroidX, for giving me the Leak to leak, and build what we now have

Fr4gg0r, for allowing me to use his TouchWiz 4.5 in my build, without his secondary apps, and allowing me to theme it. I left his donate button in the app.

Did I mention Dan, Spacemoose, Dan the man, man dan is the man. There, that kills off any chance of someone other than a newb thinking DAN is a chick. LOL

Well, all my market apps are back on, so far everything working nicely. Even Netflix.

Even Intuits GoPayment app works. Its very finicky with the card swiper. The stock kernel is great. I suspect when we get the overclocked kernel, things will fly even faster!
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] Lubencw:
Once I do a backup from Spacemooses rom should this be an easy install?
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oldmacnut:
I will never release a flashable zipped product again. I find flashing with heimdall so much easier, stable, and I know it works. Plus I can drop in just specific files right away. And it cuts my dev time in half.

Having same issue with TW (was having it with the last build based from the Sprint update also). Freezes up when you long press the homescreen.

Great work though. Loving this rom, for sure the best rom to date for the VZW tab.
[Galaxy Tab  Android Development] oldmacnut:
Did you guys do a full Wipe right after install?. I installed this on a few tabs back and forth ranging from Froyo installs to this, including the Sprint Rom im working on as well.

Also, I noticed the past few weeks, Gingerbread doesnt like SDCards for some reason, its a pain in my ass as my card is a 32GB, but I formatted the card prior to flashing so i would have a fresh SD Card. But I also have like 12TB on my computer to toss an SDcard onto. Sucks to, slow cards.

hey jim for soe reason im not getting 3g on the new release i did everything to the T but nothing any ideas? might that me a modem issue?

Yep did full wipe. Also tried with no SD too and touchwiz still delayed FC when I did a long press on the homescreen.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] phoneman09:
I just got a rooted Atrix 4G which is running 2.2.2 but I can't tell if its stock or not and I want to upgrade to Gingerbread somehow. I don't know what to do exactly in order to have it. So if some who has had the same question about this was able to upgrade to Gingerbread and could help me out that would be great. Also If i need to uproot in order to get it please help me out with that to I looked into aRoot and that seemed a little bit skeptical so just let me know via PM or the thread.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mvolkhart:
for starters, go to menu>settings>about phone and see if anything there gives away the state of your rom. also, is your BL unlocked (does it show unlocked on motorola boot animation)?

If your phone has all the blur content and has certain things locked down and such then chances are its stock.

another thing to check is whether or not your system is deodexed as most custom roms are.

I don't know a foolproof way of checking myself.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] phoneman09:
Alright well I don't think my phone has a custom rom on it but here is what I have just to make sure im right. I do know my phone does not have an unlocked b.l

System Version: 4.1.83MB860.ATT.en.US

Model:MB860

no matter what ROM I use my tab randomly reboots.

what could be the reason for this?

if I can't correct this im going to a xoom or a ..........Ipad2:eek:
[G Tablet General] aabbondanza:
In your other post you say it is the browser & market that are closing randomly. If you are now getting random reboots on every rom, it is almost certainly a hardware related problem. Could be a portion of the internal sd going bad or even the Tegra2. Is your tab still under warranty?

Get the file manager you like the best and pull the apk using adb or find an apk backup app on the market. Once you have the apk add it to the /system/app folder inside your rom.

From the dev's forum :

Forgive my noobness but how do you mount /system in read/write mode instead of read only ?

I tried mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system while in root in an adb shell but it screwed the tablet, shut it down and turned it in bootloop...

Can someone script the correct method please ?

Thx
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
This is what I use (because I don't want to try to get all the -o options right, only the ones I know for certain):

$su

# mount -o rw,remount /system

// and after changes

# sync

# mount -o ro,remount /system

# exit

$ exit

...

Hopefully that'll work OK for you. I'm talking about doing this from within terminal emulator, although I'm sure it's the same from adb shell. I just tried it again to be sure.

The idea is that since it's just a change in how it's mounted, it knows everything about how it's mounted already, so just tell it to change the ro/rw flag and to remount. You can see a lot of flags if you just type in # mount | grep system, but entering them correctly and in sequence might be another story.

Good luck -
