possible to "gfree" (root) even 2.3.3 stock?

I have official OTA 2.3.3 so does the wiki method (gfree) applies even for me? Or there's no-one that been able to root 2.3.3 version?

If the root has been done, can you please provide me with the links? Thank you.
[G2 and Desire Z General] liberalswine:
Ok, so i pretty much need to uninstall visionary, install ota 1.3.3, install ota 1.3.4, and the finally perma root, then I can run oc?
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
If you're currently on the 2.3.3 OTA update, you'll first have to downgrade to 2.2, then achieve root with the gfree method, then go back to 2.3.3 with a pre-rooted ROM. Info I believe has made it into the wiki, but you may have to search some of the recent threads in here also.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
do not update to 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 unless already rooted on froyo. There still is no official rooting method for those ota's. You will have to downgrade, root, s-off etc then flash a pre-rooted stock rom...or any rom for that matter. I am running completely stock 2.3.4 pre rooted and it runs great! Also as far as i know you do not need to move from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 you can go straight to 2.3.4. Also As far as i understand it t-mo messed up and labeled the update as 2.3.3 but it was really 2.3.4 once applied.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ptesmoke:
uninstall visionary, follow wiki to root, s-off, supercid (sim unlock) install clockworkrecovery and eng hboot. sounds like alot but gfree does it all in one shot. then your free to flash any pre rooted ota, or cm7, whatever you choose. and you wont brick your device...

hope this helped.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
Only use visionary for temp root!! Use the no adb in the sticky it worked great on my 2.2 ota. It really was painless I did it att work! Lol just pay attention to the spaces in terminal emulator.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Sorry but this is bad advice. You shouldn't be using visionary for temp root either. It is unnecessary.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
Well I'm just stating what I did. I just followed the sticky thread and out went without a hitch. Figured that it was there because it was a trusted method. Oh well, sorry it worked for me lol.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
I agree that if you do use Visionary, it should only be used for temp and not perm root, but there are plenty of ways to root without visionary, and there's no need to mess with it.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] astuermer:
Hello

Got my Viewpad 7 for almost a week now.

At the beginning only the G-Sensor/Compass was making troubles - daily calibration because when using it portrait mode the display was headlong (with top side at the bottom). This is very annoying when playing games... steering left moves the car right and so (see video).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jjoDYj-Dk4

Now the last days the other more annoying problem drives me crazy:

It seems the bottom right softkey (menu key) does his own business. Just when taking the Viewpad it vibrates and shows up the menu bar or the keyboard (see video).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrfdtMYcua8

Most of the time a reboot solves the problem, but only for a few hours or "switch-ons". It happened one-time a day at the beginning, now it's nearly every 2nd time I bring it back from stand-by!

I bought the Viewpad 7 new at ComTech.de online shop.

Does anyone know that problem? Or have an idea how it can be solved?

Regards
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] LayZeeDK:

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] astuermer:
Settings button = Menu Softkey?

(the leftmost softkey when in portrait mode with softkeys at the bottom)

If yes, touchscreen/Softkeys has to be changed.

Software solution

This is a solution from a user 'retrochip' from 4pda.ru forum

(Link to original post in Russian and i'm not able to post is here)

1. Root your device (can be done with Gingerbreak)

2. Find out codes for Menu button and Search button (229 and 217)

3. Edit configuration file /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl (you can use RootExplorer)

In qwerty.kl:

Find text:

key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED

and change to:

key 217 MENU WAKE_DROPPED

Find text:

key 229 MENU WAKE_DROPPED

and change to (just comment it with #):

#key 229 MENU WAKE_DROPPED

Save and reboot.

Now Menu button isn't active and Search button works as a Menu button.

No annoying random popping keyboard anymore. :)

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
I jut wanted to see if anyone could give me advice on having better signal. What exactly effects thesignl strength? I know its the prl and I believe I also read that the modem hassomething to do with it also. I've tried different modems I can probably say the best I've used was ec05 but I'm running eh17 now and I update my prl every couple of days. I be in my basment a lot ad I get a lot of call drops or don't receve calls at all and I get texts late or don't receive them at all either. Ifanyone knows anythin I can try that might fix these problems it would be really appreciated. Thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j7jman:
Try updating your prl manually... there should be a guide in the devolpment section.. and the issue can be your basement.. I get great service in certain areas of my house but the basement usually only gets good service if I leave my phone alone and don't move it.. so it has a steady signal- that could be your issue too. Updating your prl manually isn't easy for beginners so what I would do is read the instructions very carefully

Sent from my old but still kickin Epic 4g
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:
it may be because of my basement but I used to have 1-2 bars but I switch roms and try new modems and now I usually have 0-1 bar in the basment. And even when I am outside I still sometimes miss txts.

I read that thread once it waspretty confusing.. probably because I wasn't trying it. But the thing thatmade me not try it was the face that I have to choose the prl number that I want so I have no idea how to tell which one is best and even by reading what ppl say tey might be in a different place where their prl is better. So I'm really not sure about what to update the prl too and I honestly don't really know everything about prl. So I won't be messing with it until I really understand it.

1. Buy Roam control @market

2. Set it to roam only
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Well the prl is the Preferred Roaming List so if your issue is when you have no signal, which other providers tower will you roam to, then the PRL matters. If your signal in your house is just terrible then it could be some new construction in the area messing with your signal. You could ask Sprint for an Airave if you complain that you have no service in your house and if you have enough credit for an additional line it will cost you the difference in taxes for another line per month. In Florida that was another $1.72 a month. Or as suggested try Roam Control.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rando991:
I did this, and am supposed to get an airave sometime this week. I also use Roam Control in my house where the signal is weak. Hope to be able to just stay on Sprint with the Airave.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:


Is that the little modem thing where u jut connect it to your internet and it gives u better service strength?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes. It is called a Femtocell. It is like a mini cell tower in your house that uses the internet to complete calls.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilajrestnom:


Do you think sprint would give this away forfree? If I tell them I have no signal at all in my house andim thinkin about switching carriers maybe lol?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Yes. Provided you have enough credit for another line. It is usually lent to you with the idea if you no longer need it you will return it. I have seen them try to charge those with not enough credit to qualify for an additional line. I qualified for 8 lines so had no problem getting one. Just have to pay the taxes on an additional line which depends on the state you are in.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handymanxda:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
This is actually a pretty tough phone to break, flashing-wise. You have to be pretty dense (or REALLY not be paying attention) and try flashing a something that is intended for a different model of phone to break it. Though, that seems to be a fairly common scenario, unfortunately.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
If you don't know what you're doing, then no. Don't accept the update. And judging by the fact that you had to ask that question, I'd say that it's best not to.

But if you know what you're doing, yes you can accept the update if you used unrevoked forever (or unrevoked 3) to root. I'm not sure about revolutionary, so I'll stay on the safe side and say it's not okay. Once you've updated, you'll need to reflash recovery through hboot as a PC36IMG. From recovery you'll need to flash the correct Superuser zip, and you'll be rooted again (if you don't still have Superuser permissions). I'd avoid doing it this way unless you know that it has worked for others with the same update and you have a legitimate reason to do it that way.

The easiest and safest way to update would be to just flash the rooted stock rom. There's a newer version than 4.24, something like 4.53 (don't quote me). Just flash that instead.

Hey all I posted this topic a little while back but can't find a fix.

Since updating my nexus s on fido to 2.3.6 (unrooted) my gmail Outbox is a mess. It sends the emails fine - but the number beside the Outbox just keeps getting larger. Never resets back to zero.
