[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strippedman:
My girlfriend has the EVO 4G (the original model, she got it on launch date) and I rooted it for her simply to get rid of the bull**** apps on there. However, since it is rooted she is having two problems:

1) OTA updates download fine but do not install.

2) GPS Navigation works for about 2 minutes before it force closes. If you open it up again it will FC immediately and do so until the phone is restarted. Then the process repeats.

Getting her the OTA updates is not too important, but she REALLY wants GPS to work. How can I:

a) Unroot the phone WITHOUT wiping and hope that that fixes both problems?

b) Fix the GPS problem while still remaining rooted?

Sorry for the noob questions, I have the Samsung Vibrant and am not used to this phone at all. Thanks!

Here's her info:

Anyone? Little help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linsalata28:
You can just back everything up with mybackup root or something like that and try a different ROM but you'll need to wipe to make sure you don't have problems .

You can check this thread out for GPS it might help its for aosp ROMs though.

Just got the notification... Downloading now and will upload ASAP!! :D

EDIT: should it only be a 45MB update? seems odd..
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Have you not already seen the thread about it mate? ;)

And yes, it's only a small maintenance update to 2.3.4 - nothing big
[HTC Sensation] maff1989:
Yeah, saw the thread. Figured this would be a quicker way for people to access it :)

And ohh ok. So it's not a FULL system update. More of a "patch". Thanks for clarifying.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Pretty much so yeah! Makes the Sensation SO much better, though!
[HTC Sensation] maff1989:
If I weren't S-OFF I'd update right now.. buuut I can wait. I'm sure the update is fantastic. I've been anticipating :D
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
If you're just S-OFF and not on a custom ROM then you can flash it with no problems, just re-run Revo afterwards to make sure the S-OFF stuck but you're good to go
[HTC Sensation] maff1989:
Oh, awesome!! Yes, I'm S-OFF with rooted stock ROM.

Updating now... please no brick! Lol (anxiety kicking in)
[HTC Sensation] maff1989:
Phone rebooted into recovery, and I'm getting the triangle with the "!" symbol, along with the little blue Android guy, and nothing is happening... normal?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Is this once you've started the update going? If so, you have to leave it. It can take 20 mins to finish (or did with my unbranded European handset when I did it)
[HTC Sensation] maff1989:
Yes, once the update started. I will leave it.

Thank you for the reply.. I was 5 seconds away from a battery-pull. PHEW! Would not have been a good idea...

I'm astonished at the amount of people who don't read! You root your phone then think you can just apply OTA updates without issues. LOL

You and about 4 other people are all having the same problems. You did not read the warnings. DON'T upgrade to the OTA update if you are rooted. Wait until a new ROM with the update is compiled and safe for flashing.
[HTC Sensation] jay661972:
same here, pulled battery and now will try to update again.

updating right now...
[HTC Sensation] maff1989:
In case you didn't see the post on the first page, a user with S-OFF and rooted Stock ROM applied this update with no issue.

[HTC Sensation] fiberangel:
Aren't you Santa's little helper. Good for you and your astonishment.

If you know a way to fix it, please share it.

[HTC Sensation] jay661972:
did the update went through for you?
[HTC Sensation] bobsbbq:
Just because one user did it doesn't mean it's safe. There are different recoverys floating around etc. Bottom line don't take a chance! There are already people working on a rooted flashable ROM. So be patient or suffer the consequences.
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
I wasn't rooted, just S-OFF - you shouldn't apply an OTA to a rooted phone as it can lead to issues
[HTC Sensation] TricH:
i am still waiting.....It is taking a long time
[HTC Sensation] maff1989:
Valid point.

I'm happy to say that I was able to pull the battery, reboot the phone, and not have problems. PHEW!

I will definitely wait now.. You can say that curiosity almost killed the cat!

You must flash the original TMOUS recovery in order to install the update, hint: flash your original 2.3.3 ruu then run FOTA.

How do I achieve s-off? Can I revese HTC unlock method? Is there a thread or answer available? I'm not a complete noob at rooting but got excited and didn't read thoroughly before committing to the HTC process. Started sifting through threads and haven't discovered an answer yet... Please help
[HTC EVO 3D] mvansomeren:
I've been trying to sift through them as well just out of curiosity. Here is what I have gleaned from all of the threads on this subject:

1) Unless you previously had s-off through revolutionary, the HTC method will not give you or currently allow you to get s-off

2) Although the HTC method does unlock the boot loader, other things are still locked preventing you from flashing a custom recovery.

3) Currently there is no way to root or get super user access once you've applied the HTC method

4) Currently there is no way to undo the HTC method.

Probably not what you wanted to hear but that is my understanding as it is currently. That doesn't mean that a Dev won't figure out how to allow you to do those things in the next few days or weeks. You'll just have to keep checking.

It is a mix of Honeycomb theme with my dark sinister theme with some screenshots below Updated with the shut down at 15% SystemUI fix

Installation:

1: Download the file.

2: Go to CWM Recovery and flash zip file as a rom.

3: Fix permissions

4: Reboot..Done!

5: Enjoy (I hope)

I don't want to come out as needy and disrespectful. This is just a request.

Can anyone creat a custome ROM that is as close to stock as possible?

With a few exceptions. Of course remove all the bloat ware, creat a new status bar by removing the t-mobile logo that waists space and the previously used apps (we all know how to hold the home button), and lastly make a numeric battery. Try not to use the circle batterys but stay as close to the original as possible.

Ooh as well fix sence 3.0 and have lockscreen icons.

Also I do use the caller I'd feature T-Mobile provides I don't want $4 down the drain so.please keep that function.

if I ever get some free time (not likely in the next 2 weeks) I will start cooking up some roms for us. I'm in the middle of a big transition right now and just haven't had time to sit down and start tearing roms apart. -____-

op: have you checked out the UOT kitchen? you can accomplish most of the status bar and battery tweaks you want through it.

the bloatware I would just uninstall with TiBu or any other program capable of uninstalling system apps.

the sense 3.0 lockscreen... not too sure. I've always been an aosp guy so I haven't spent much time modding sense.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Madblaster6:
No rush guys this phone isn't going anywhere. I would love to learn how to cook. I need to get over the big learning curve. The only reasone I ask is because there are specific files I don't know if are usefull or not. Like for example the new caller id feature I don't know witch files are associated with it. I do freeze as much as I can in tibp but I feel like its still slowing the phone down or taking up space. I've been a windows user a long long time and feel like when you uninstall something it's not the same as having a clean install. I can't get over that mindset. BTW thanks for the quick responce.

You and I think a like in everything. I'm curious as to how your phone looks like boot screen and what not

Those two changes require a framework hack, which requires another hack in services to disable signature verification. I've always wanted to remove those damn "Recent Apps" from the status bar, but only recently learned how to disable signature verification for when the framework is modified.

Until ROMs start coming out, use titanium backup to uninstall any of the bloatware you don't want. I uninstalled just about every app on my phone, and installed better versions of the ones I wanted, and in one case I uninstalled a stock app, then downloaded the same app from the market.

After getting rid of all the bloatware I noticed drastic battery life improvement, so I started looking at other things that were always running in the background, two of them were the preinstalled note pad app and Google Maps. I would stop them, and they would be back running in a matter of moments. I uninstalled both of them, downloaded Google Maps and ColorNote. For some reason, Maps is never running in the background any more. Not sure why that worked, but it did.

Means you have to copy SystemUI.apk to your computer, decompile it, re-write part of the code, re-compile it back into an .apk, then install it on the phone.

One of those "easier said then done" things, but not terribly difficult if you read through the thread and take the time to install the tools you need to your computer.

I'm intrigued by this, but there are other things on my list for this phone before I get around to something like this.

I've actually just decided to try recruiting devs from the Sensation forum. Given the similarity between the devices, I'm hoping that it wouldn't be too difficult for someone out there to help us out...

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pmcqueen:
I wasn't expecting much dev support here in the beginning. I think ports will start showing up slowly but don't expect it to be anything like the Sensation subforum.

it's a shame because this is a killer device that can run anything thrown at it. with some patience and luck we'll get some devs who are interested in creating things for the slide... maybe from the G2 section once more people start changing over.

at least there's really nothing function-wise on the stock rom that makes it unusable for me. once the bloat is gone and ADW ex (or whatever home replacement you like) is loaded, it's pretty much all I need.. some aosp love would sure be nice though for me.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Yea, but it's a new device...and an expensive one so a lot of people don't have one yet.

For early adopters it's hard sometimes, my approach has just been to try to document everything as thoroughly as possible so that when devs do come, they have less work to do.

Of course, the best way to get something done is to do it yourself - i'd like to make my own ROM for this device, but i'm a long way from that. It'll happen, but i'm pretty positive that by the time I get it all figured out Cyanogenmod will have been ported to this device.

Still won't stop me from doing it though, i'm too curious.

Meantime, posting up everything we can learn about the phone will help in getting a custom ROM when a dev willing to do so comes through here.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
I was wondering the same thing. I'm coming from the HD2 and the Galaxy St Vibrant so anyone who knows those phones understands.... I was thinking this forum would be a little more lively.

I've gone from refreshing a lot to refreshing once a day.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Madblaster6:
Yeah. Totaly. Look at the phones I've owned in the signature. I remember going back to the razer the forums were packed with hex mods and java games. Maybe not this specific one. Still this is the biggest mt4gs forum.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
Someone above noted that the phone is new and expensive. That is definitely a factor. Also, from what I saw, T-Mobile didn't really market this phone heavily before it came out. Right at the launch I saw a good amount of ads but not long before. Like the SGS2 has gotten real advertising saturation. This phone is a real contender but because it doesn't have a huge screen it received, and continues to receive, less attention.

Things will pick up but at this point I have prepared myself for a wait. Devs will eventually get the word on how good it is and then things will pick up but it will take some time. For me, the hardware we have is worth the wait.

I did have a thought. Find out if there are devs working on this phone. If not, we could look at collectively getting a phone to a dev that could get it moving.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Madblaster6:
I wac contimplating if I wanted the other phone. I changed my mind. The mytouch has so much more potential. Also I can't live withouy the keyboard. I have the g2x and the hd2 the big screen means nothing to me. It actually worse because when you use one hand and can't reach accrose the screen...

I think you'd be throwing in the towel too soon! Would you quit because there aren't any devs or ROMs? You just need to give it more time! When I had the MT4G, it was months and months before CM7 was even available. Now, devs have access to all kinds of tools that make just about anything possible. There's even a thread in the dev forum about pledging money for certain ROMs. The Virtuous Unity ROM is by far my favorite ROM out there, and I know that if they can bring it to the MT4GS it can do wonders. To each his own in the end, though, and I wouldn't really be able to blame you for leaving since there are so many other devices out there with current options. Keep us posted!
