+1 this should be made into a video!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Yes, I plan to make a video as soon as my sister gives back the shift! (I gave her the shift for her evo so I could do videos for the evo as well) BUT I should be getting it soon and I will be sure to make a video :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] :
You DAAAA MAAANN! :cool::cool:
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] fallnSaint:
Awesome!

On a side note, I was wondering how you managed to get ahold of all the different hardware for your vids...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Some I bought very cheap (found amazing deals on craigslist)

Some have been provided to me courtesy of the ACS team!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] qbking77:
Guys I am VERY sorry I haven't posted the rooting from 2.3 video yet... I still haven't had a chance to get to my sisters dorm and get my shift back... I will get it back this Wednesday so expect the video soon after! Again, I apologize!

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] FanBoy_Hunter:
Hey! Question for QB or the Evo Shift community.

My boss owns an Evo Shift. Lately he has been having a LOT of memory issues.

He was running 2.3 I reverted to 2.1, rooted the phone and have since froze some apps sped the phone up etc. The phone is having a few problems as well as he's missing some things that were on 2.3. And he's having BlueTooth issues. The constant update available is annoying him and the phone takes significantly longer to boot.

I don't want to revert him to stock, since that will not only make my work rooting it pointless, but he will eventually have the same problems as before.

I saw the supreme Rom has the ability to Partition his SD for apps which will fix his issues (i believe)

My question is what is the MOST stable rom or fix for that matter. I can do and flash anything, I just can't do trial and error since it's not my phone.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
MikG and Ss are the most stable sense roms
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] FanBoy_Hunter:
The Supreme Sense was what I was looking into, by MikG I'm guessing your referring to <[ROM]-[MikRoms]- [10/18/2011] - MikShifted-G v1.76 - Re-Engineered GB Sense 2.1 + 3.0>

Keep in mind I don't follow the shift development.

MikShifted would be nice, definitely a sexy looking Rom, thing is It needs to be the easiest transition for him, but I like Sense 3.0.

Which of these 2 will be the most stable? I would flash them both myself and find out, but I don't have that luxury here.

Any Major bugs w/either?

[edit] I only get one shot at this, if it doesn't run right, I'm in the doghouse
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
SS is based off Mikroms so if you go with SS you really getting the eye candy of Sense 3.0 but if you want one more stockish then mikroms is good. If you go to themikmik.com forums it has mikG 2.0.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] FanBoy_Hunter:
Thank you, that's helpful information.

I showed him a few snapshots of Mikrom and he likes it. "apparently" he's not that old and could adapt to a new Rom if it was strong in stability and performance.

Alright, I just found this:

http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/06/reader-rom-picks-mikg-v200-for-htc-evo-4g.html

That satisfies me, I'm going MikG 2.0. Thanks for your help!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
No supreme sense will not partition your sdcard..You have to do that in recovery or use a partitioner program on your pc. There's both Sense and AOSP Roms that use apps2ext if that's what you mean.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] FanBoy_Hunter:
Yup meant to edit that, I was referring to to the support, I used adb to change default a few times prior to rooting, but was unable to make it stick. Thanks
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] sparksco:
This is great guide but I never had to install htc sync to root 2.2 like it says in the video ;) I rooted mine on linux with adb and RomManager to install clockworkmod.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] nicholaszeus:
My viewpad 7 is boot-looping, it is restarting before reaching the launcher screen, and also stuck while booting into cw recovery mode. I changed font files of the root before this happened. Any way to restore it's rom without using cw recovery mode? Is it possible to boot from sd card?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Can you boot your VPAD7 into CW Recovery Mode ? (Hold down Vol. UP and Vol. Down buttons and press Power at the same time to get into recovery mode)

Anyway, you most likely need to flash a stock ROM first using the SUTL3_v1.7.9 utility available from Viewsonic and then one of the FM6*.nb0 files - it might not recognize or "see" the device, keep trying & reset/reboot and use that small "reset" button on the bottom if necessary.

Check your FTM (Factory Test Mode) for your Hardware & Software build info - and try to match the closest *.nb0 file for flashing. Hold down Vol. Down while pressing Power to start & run FTM, use tiny pin hole to press & reset device/exit this mode.

I haven't done this in a while, but it will most likely change the device back to unrooted, stock form. And, you will lose all your custom app settings - but it should come to life after a successful flash, restart & give it 5 to 10 minutes to complete initial install & setup - and, you should see your original screen again.

Then, follow steps to get it rooted again, do a NAND backup & set it aside for safe keeping, then reflash your choice of custom Rom, etc. Detailed directions are here on XDA - good luck & let us know if we can be of further help ....
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] luisete123:
I was making the root to my viewpad 7, and during the process, I took out the cable by accident. And now it's impossible for me that the process finish, it always stuck. Some ideas, please?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
OMG, okay - relax & take a deep breath ....

It should be recoverable, I think - you will just need to flash the "proper" factory stock ROM first, get it working again & then repeat the rooting process.

First, check your hardware/software version in the FTM mode (it's for diagnostic, flash & download to ROM, etc. ....) & safe to do - hold down the left Volume Down key on top while pressing the Power button with the device off. If necessary, get someone to reset the device (use the smallest pin hole on the bottom of the device.) A pin works best but small paper clip will do.

In a few moment, it will show "Enter FTM Mode" and then display the VPAD7's info -

SWVer=3.410 or whatever is on yours

Model: FM6-0001 or whatever yours say

HWVer: 107 (106, 103 or whatever)

What to do with this info - it will help you select the correct or closest factory ROM to flash & restore your Vpad7 to stock condition, unrooted.

You will need one of the SULT3 or for oldest ROM, maybe SULT2 is better - download & save to PC, unzip the SULT* - and follow onscreen prompt & instructions to select your *.nb0 file.

Another suggestions, since you cannot get into Recovery Mode to wipe dalvik, cache & full system/data first, it might help to flash the *.nb0 file twice - it will take a bit of time, maybe 10 minutes or so and a few more minutes to do its initial boot-up configuration. Be patient - and write down any error messages, etc. if you run into problem.

It's best to take out any SIM card and even mSD card from your device, not required but recommended. When you can boot up again & get pass the Android activation wizard/screen, you can power down - put the mSD card back in and reboot again.

Good luck - there's a wealth of helpful info posted here, please set aside & take time to read it first & refer to those notes. Good Luck & Cheers - let us know if you succeed ....
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] luisete123:
A thousand of thanks Letitride!!

Before continue making mistakes, I want to ask if there is any problem to use SULT3 (because I read u posted it before) instead of SULT2, because yesterday, before post my question, I already installed SULT3_v1.7.9...

When I enter FTM Mode, the display shows:

SWVer=3.16R

Model: FM6-0001

HWVer: 106

So now I dont understand. I am a little bit lost, but I think I must to download something else from the viewsonic web that u posted (I can't repeat the link because I am new), isn't it?

Thanks again for your help. I know there are lots of help already posted, but about my problem I didnt find anything, that's why I asked. Thanks!!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] luisete123:
Ok, I will explain what I tried, and the next error:

As I said, I already installed SUTL3_v1.7.9, so I used it. I downlodes for the viewsonic web that you posted FM6-316Q-0-1008-A01.nb0, and this is the error that the program said me:

Error Code: 0x4000

Error: Task 2 of 3, Download Image fail

Error = DEVICE_NOT_CONFIGURE (0x4000).

Maybe I need to uninstall SUTL3_v1.7.9 and try with SUTL2.1_v1.8.4? During the process I don't need to select nothing in the ViewPad screen, do I?

Thanks again!

EDIT:

I installed the SUTL2.1_v1.8.4 (without unistall the SUTL3_v1.7.9, and there is the next error:

Error Code: 0xf626

Error: Task 2 of 3, Download Image fail

Error = QPD_ERROR_ARMPRG_hello_TBUFFER (0xF626).
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
It looked like there might be a problem with your downloaded Image files itself - corrupted ? See if you can use a different PC to download the FM6-316Q again, and when you are ready to flash, put it in the same sub-directory as the installed SUTL2 sub-directory ....

Most likely, your device is non-ITE and as I recall, the FM6-3310 and 3350 nb0 files should work on your device & perhaps free of errors (not corrupted) - download it & try flashing it (besides, you got nothing to lose as your device isn't booting up anyway) - let us know what happen later.

Worst case situation, contact VS support & get authorization to return it for repair (if within warranty period)

Cheers & Happy "flashing" and let's hope one of the *.nb0 files work.

P.S. If anyone else has a working saved nb0 file for luisete123, please post a link for download or PM, whatever .... am sure s/he will appreciate our aid.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] luisete123:
Again thanks a lot Letitride!!! :)

I downloades it again in another laptop (FM6-316Q and SUTL2), and I did it and... IT WORKS!! I think it was a problem while I was downloading yesterday, because I don't know why, the speed was very very low. Otherwise I can't understand, because in this other laptop that I tried, the Windows is not original, and in mine it is...

So now, as I understand, I can root it without any problems, can't I? I will wait untill tomorrow, because I am on hurry now, and I dont wan't to do any more mistake :p

I am really greatful Letitride, thanks again!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] Letitride:
Cheers - yes, we are happy for you. Never rush when doing these cool things to our device, I've seen stories about the family pet (cat/dog) jumping around & pulling the USB cable while it was doing .... you know, things happened but luckily, it was saved & you're recovered.

Now, you should be able to ROOT it again, just use SuperOneClick v1.7 & read/follow directions, or use GingerBreak.apk (it's easier but I've done both myself) - as soon as you do, boot back into ClockWorkMod Recovery, and do a BACKUP of your 316Q first, so that later on - you can easily flash the stock.

Then you can start to flash various custom ROM here, yours is most likely non-ITE hardware, so most of the ROM work - unless it is ITE specific. Good Luck & Happy Flashing.

:D
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] luisete123:
I am again really thank you! But, I still have the same problem... I am trying to use SuperOneClick v1.7 program, and again get stuck... :mad:

I will try with GingerBreak, but I was reading here another post about this program and I will need to read it again, in order not to make another stupid mistake!!

Cheers anyways!! ;)
[Legend Android Development] DooMMeeR:
Hi there

I have had S-OFF via XTC-Clip for a long time but always wanted the alpharev hboot

so with help IEF on their IRCchannel I got it done

AGAIN this only gives you the Alpharev hboot, it will not provide initial S-OFF, this has to be achieved via XTC-Clip or other methods (there are none I know of) and will also NOT work on S-ON devices :P

first things first

THIS MAY SURELY BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU DO IT WRONG OR SOMETHING GOES WRONG

you need fastboot, adb, on win the drivers, and the attached LEGEIMG.zip

boot into bootloader

adb reboot bootloader

then do

fastboot getvar modelid

it should state

modelid: PB76*****

then

fastboot getvar cid

should return

cidnum: 11111111

and finaly

fastboot getvar mainver

which should be

mainver: 1.02.666.3

but could also differ

IF IT DOES DIFFER and is not smaller or equal, you will need to change the mainver in the android-info.txt in the attached LEGEIMG.zip to your numbers, and rezip it

if everything is alright on that side, do

fastboot oem rebootRUU

and then

fastboot flash zip LEGEIMG.zip

where as the LEGEIMG.zip must be in your current folder

you should now type in

fastboot reboot-bootloader

and be presented with the alpharev hboot :)

hf and I am certainly not responsible for any bricks AND THIS MAY SURELY BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU DO IT WRONG OR SOMETHING GOES WRONG
[Legend Android Development] BesFen:
So, it can S-OFF legend with Hboot 1.00.0000 and 1.01.0000, right? Are you sure?
[Legend Android Development] fabi280:
No it doesnt, it's just for XTC Clip Users to change their HBOOT as far as I understand now
[Legend Android Development] BesFen:
Thank you.
[Legend Android Development] bwilliams1:
Ok so, Just so I am clear, I have a Legend, it is S-OFF with an XTC Clip, it is also at HBOOT 1.01, will this file replace the current HBOOT with Alpharev's and what will be the version number after the replacement?
[Legend Android Development] qzem:
Why is alpha rev hboot with S-Off better than S-Ogg gained with XTC-clip? What are the diferences?
[Legend Android Development] fabi280:
As far as I do understand it's better cause Alpharev HBOOT has the new Partition Layout (see BlaYo's HowTo Upgrade to HBOOT 1.0...).

The XTC Clip HBOOT is the >0.X HBOOT and this one could make troubles with some newer Android OS'es (I'm unsure if it's only Gingerbread or even FroYo)
[Legend Android Development] qzem:
One more question. IF I understand correct (I've searched for XTC Clip on interent), we can gain S-OFF on any hboot version (even 1.01) with this tool?
[Legend Android Development] bwilliams1:
My Legend has HBOOT 1.01 and I used an XTC clip to get S-OFF.
[Legend Android Development] bwilliams1:
Ok so, it worked, I now have the Pink AlphaRev logo and the HBoot version is 1.00.1000 SHIP S-OFF. I went from HBoot 1.01, and the phone seems to be working normally, awesome, thanks!

[Droid 2 Global General] War-Rasta:
It's still not confirmed if the bootloader is unlocked but so far it seems like it's not. I'm still waiting to flash this as I want to be sure I can SBF back to Froyo if there are any issues.
[Droid 2 Global General] cellzealot:
It has been confirmed that flashing back to Froyo with the SBF after running the leaked GB update.zip is successful so there should be no issues trying out this update.
[Droid 2 Global General] War-Rasta:
Great! I'll probably give this a try tonight once I get home. Also, regarding the original question, it's also been determined that the bootloader is NOT unlocked. Once we're able to root it (I don't think it'll take too long for someone to come up with a way to do it) I'll be happy.
[Droid 2 Global General] cellzealot:
TBH will have a rooted update.zip available very soon for this release...just need to finish tweaking the file and testing it.

And no, it doesn't unlock the bootloader...that was rabid speculation.

This is no improvement over the amount of hacking we've had so far. It's a new version of the same stuff. We won't get an unlocked bootloader, no new radios or anything like that.

So I noticed after flashing this build that the device encryption does not work :(.. Have not tried to encrypt the sd card but it keeps telling me device does not have enough memory and that I should clear some space by removing apps and there data.

is there any improvement on the battery life?

running it stock on leaked GB
[Droid 2 Global General] War-Rasta:
Battery life appears to be better to me but I haven't had had it for even a full day yet so my opinion might not be the most accurate, however, there are others that have also reported improved battery life. Nothing revolutionary but it does seem to be a bit better.

It is newer - older was 1.48:

Question for dev guys. Does it will be able to enable data2ext for htc chacha and use a extra partition created by CWM on mSD card, on stock roms? stock but rooted roms?
[HTC ChaCha] StevaSRB:
+1

I would like to know that, too...
[HTC ChaCha] Cadabena:
I'd love that too, my girlfriend's Chacha is always out of memory and it's driving her mad (especially coming from an iPhone). Link2SD is the best I've managed and that only works with FAT32 partition but even with that it's run out of space. Superdroid has A2SD I've noticed but I'm yet to try that.
[HTC ChaCha] geek78:
I use link2sd on my rooted chacha with an ext3 partition and it is perfect
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
I looked at that app on the market and comments are that it doesn't work on gingerbread.

Are they incorrect then?

This is exciting tho as it means I may give my chacha another go later!
[HTC ChaCha] geek78:
works perfectly ;)
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Yep, you're right!

I'm using superdroid but the app2sd on it doesn't work for me.

This app works perfectly!!!

Only have 34mb free but its enough to prevent gmail from not syncing.

I can put all my apps with widgets on the SD now.

I used cwm to partition a while back, and this app said the ext was in fact ext3.

Very much appreciated :-)
[HTC ChaCha] Cadabena:
Which system apps did you remove? I find the contacts app to be the main problem, after syncing and stuff it's ballooned to over 30mb.
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
did u phone s-off, does this work on phone with s-on?
[HTC ChaCha] Cadabena:
No it doesn't, you need S-off before you can dream of doing anything like this for the ChaCha.
[HTC ChaCha] papao217:
and once s-off, it is my undertanding that you cant receive official htc updates anymore, am i right?

tnx
[HTC ChaCha] iDAREK:
Hm... also want to know that.

If you/we got s=Off and CID=111111, OTA updates will stop showing?
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
I don't know re ota, but I'm using superdroid now.

You would need root, not s-off but only way to get root is s-off presently.

System apps can't be moved, I've even tried to make system apps (maps , gmail ) user apps in order to move them, but titanium just froze.

You can move *everything* but system apps with this app and that creates more than enough space, and the widgets still work on moved apps too.

I've gone widget crazy and still have 30mb free, which believe me is a big improvement. Before I had to forgo widgets just to keep enough memory to prevent syncing freezing up.
