I just want to root my GSM evo 3D. I don't want a new rom, I only want the options that come with rooting. What is the best thing to do?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1218193

Will this thread work for me on the GSM to? Or what is different?
[HTC EVO 3D] danny6514:
It's different. Just browsing on the first page of GSM page I see literally 4 threads on it, depending on what your hboot is.

What's your hboot version?
[HTC EVO 3D] Delano.888:
1.49.007

Most threads include new roms, I don't want that.

I found this one:

But what do I need? Is cwm needed, and what is that for? Is revolutionary needed, and what is that for? I just wondered what is the minimum I need to be rooted..

And will this clear my phone? As in I need to re-install all apps?
[HTC EVO 3D] danny6514:
Please look more carefully next time, it's on the first page.

Perform all steps except the S-ON part.
[HTC EVO 3D] Delano.888:
I understand all this, but I would like to know what CWM and Revolutionary means before doing it, and also does this hard reset my phone?
[HTC EVO 3D] danny6514:
I believe it will not hard reset your phone, but do backup everything as a precaution.

Revolutionary is a tool to S-OFF your phone, it is a pre-req to rooting. All it really does it unlock your bootloader.

CWM is a custom recovery that allows you to hard reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache/flash new rom. It being there does not mean you have to flash a custom ROM. And yes, it is recommended you flash CWM, even if you don't want to flash a custom ROM, for future purposes.
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
CWM = ClockworkMod

- It's a recovery tool used for installing ROMs and tweaks, backing up your system, and such

Revolutionary = the rooting tool (http://revolutionary.io/)
[HTC EVO 3D] danny6514:
Revolutionary is not the rooting tool. You need to flash another zip via CWM to obtain root.
[HTC EVO 3D] Delano.888:
Ok thanks guys, starting now for the first time, little scared but ok..
[HTC EVO 3D] danny6514:
To add to that, Revolutionary should also clockwork for you already. The last section of the tutorial is only for people who did not manage to get CWM on during the S-OFF process.
[HTC EVO 3D] Delano.888:
I keep getting: beta key invalid, while I double double checked.

Could it hurt to post screens of my serial and beta key here? Then maybe you could check what I'm doing wrong..
[HTC EVO 3D] danny6514:
That's odd...

Just to make sure, you selected GSM and not CDMA right...?

The serial number you entered starts with two English alphabet right? (for example HTxxxxxxxxxx)
[HTC EVO 3D] Delano.888:
I selected GSM and entered everything correct, I think. I do have a lot of O's and 0's in there, which kinda sucks. But screens are not safe here?
[HTC EVO 3D] danny6514:
Don't post any serial numbers here. The number you inputted, does it have 12 digits/characters?
[HTC EVO 3D] Delano.888:
yes it does. I really think everything should be correct.

Okay I googled copy&paste in cmd, and after 10 tries, it worked! Rebooting now..
[HTC EVO 3D] danny6514:
You'll need to go to revolutionary for support on that.

[HTC EVO 3D] Delano.888:
NVM, I'll ask in the actual topic that was meant for it, thank you guys very much! Really happy now that it worked.

Hi, I'm new in here and not able to reply any post in <[ROM][KH3] Batista70 3.7.6 | 07-09-2011 | Jkay 9.1 |+++Battery Save UPDATE+++> , so I hope someone can assist me on this matter.

I just flashed to Batista 3.7.6 in yesterday and I noticed a strange behavior of the home screen. The moment after I successful load this ROM for first time, it comes with 7 Home Screen by default.

So I keep the two home screen and remove the rest, then reboot my phone and later that I noticed that the system restore back the Home Screen from two to seven! Did a few reboot and check again (with one or two home screen), problem still remain the same --> It become seven Home Screen again!

I did ask my friend who have the same ROM as mine, he also experiencing this problem. Is there any way to fix this issue?

Thank you.

I've searched the forum for a sollution to no avail and since I can't post this in the actual ZMOD 003 thead (low post count) I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem?

When I start up the Wifi on my X10 I am just met with "Error".

I've reflashed and fully re-installed the .71 baseband, ROM and 003 update and this had happened each time (after first phone reboot I think).

I'm otherwise really pleased with the ROM (full camera, 6+ days battery, etc), is there a sollution?

SOLVED: Downgrade busybox to 1.17.1 (re-install by the andriod installer back to the older version) and reboot.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparhawk76:
Assuming you have a custom kernel ... After flashing the cm7 zmod rom, try flashing the wifi modules to match your kernel, then reboot phone and wifi should work.

Had this problem on a few of the roms I've tried, got into the habit of installing the wifi modules immediately after installing any rom I try, before rebooting into the new rom for the first time.

Hi,

I've been trying for quite a while to get a Java emulator working with android but couldn't. I use my phone mostly for chatting, the app I use is called MXit and you do get an android version but it sucks. Java is much faster, better and more reliable. I've tried several Jbed's and none worked. All force close nearly instantly. I want v5.9.8 specifically, the site is m.mxit.com or www.mxit.com.

System and Data is installed to nand and I'm using the Scoot CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RLS3 (Gingerbread 2.3.5) [07/08/11] build.

I've attached the jar that I'd like to run..

I've tried online converters, no luck.

If someone manages to find a way, I'll appreciate it LOADS.

Thanks,

Monk
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] cornelha:
Mxit at its best blows, but if you really do need to run mxit, try using an IM application that supports xamp/jabber as a protocol. Mxit uses the protocol and you can use that to chat on mxit instead
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Themonkman:
Hey,

Uhm, MXit v6 and up sucks at it's best. That's v6 for java, the entire style ain't very good, but the version I have there which is v5.9.8 is actually one of the most efficient mobile IM's that I've found. You can easily manage 7+ fast moving conversations at a time. Since I have a lot to do with chat zones, I need speed in switching places since I can be in 4 rooms at once and still be chatting with a couple of friends at once. The new MXit doesn't support tabs which slows texting down a LOT. And well, that's why I'm looking for a way to run it... Otherwise, I must face my fear and go back to the dreaded WM...

Any idea what IM's I might be able to use? I have Whatsapp and am able to get Ebuddy etc. but which one would be able to do it?

Edit:

I FINALLY got Jbed running.

Steps:

Download Jbed.zip

Download This

Read This

Do what is said, run cmd and enter these commands:

>cd c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools

>adb.exe

>adb remount

>adb push (where-ever you had it eg. c:\Jbed\system\app\Jbed.apk) /system/app/Jbed.apk ---- and so on with every file and NOTE THE slashes, system dir must be forward.

>adb install (where-ever you have the apk)

And then it worked :D

Well, nearly. MXit installed, but can't connect to the network, so while its doing its first run, it says "Installing" and then drops out to another screen telling me about connection problems... Gonna try sort this out now.

P.S I will host these files on my own server if it's needed...

Regards,

Monk

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] Themonkman:
LoL, uuuhm, well, since this post I've been to 3 different WM6 roms, because well, I needed MXit and tabs and so on but now, I got fed up with WM again and have gone to Droid again, which is awesome. But yes, I'm now on MXit for Android because well, I'm not that active on MXit anymore. I have a feeling that soon I will be and then I'm gonna be looking for Java emulators again (and probably come read my own instructions here to get it to install :D) and then maybe get fed up with no tabs again. :( Well, whatever I do, I'm never happy with it. I just wish I could have the best of both worlds.....

Yes! Indeed, the statusbar updates and offline msg alerts are AWESOME though. :cool:and right now, I have Whatsapp, Ebuddy, PingChat, FacebookChat, and MXit installed on my phone and still attempting to get a ported version of BBM (with very little luck) so yeah.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TSBroich:
Hello everybody. I just picked up a Verizon Xperia Play today, and I am now aware that there is no free solution to unlock the bootloader at this time, but there is a paid solution.

After playing around with this phone for a few hours, I am desperate for root now. All of this bloatware and this auto-brightness "feature" is driving me absolutely insane. So I have reached the point where I am willing to pay for a bootloader unlock solution so I can root. I wish to know how I can go about going through with the paid solution?

I have tried sending a PM to Ashergray, and Blagus regarding this solution (as instructed to do in his topic), but for some reason I cannot send PMs..? Also, I couldn't reply to the thread in the dev topic to ask this question because I don't have ten posts yet. If a kind fellow nerd could tell me what I should do? There is nothing to click on Blagus' site that allows me to obtain this service.

I really don't want to regret buying this phone. The gaming experience on this is so fantastic, and an unlocked bootloader with rooting would make this guy happy.

Thank you for any replies.

Wow that sucks. I will definitely be extra careful, especially since I'm trying to install the European R800i stock ROM onto the Verizon R800x Xperia Play.

Still trying everything to get this to work.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HighJeep:
Why would you have regretted buying it without the root ability? I'm still on the fence about this phone and trying to gather info
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TSBroich:
Well if you like playing SNES, N64, GBA and PS1 games, it shouldn't even be a question about whether you should buy it or not IMO.

Although, if I could go back in time, I would have bought the unlocked R800i version instead of the one from the Verizon store (R800x).

Even without root, the R800x is still a great phone, and gaming is top notch. However, without root, you will have to live with quite a bit of bloatware and the screen is permanently set to auto-brightness.

But the one thing that really gets me is that the Verizon version is stripped of the whole Sony Experience (No Playstation store, etc).

I dould definitely recommend this phone to you, but root it and get the unlocked version. :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxChristos:
Are you using a CDMA or GSM Verizon for your image? I know Verizon is CDMA and AT&T is GSM, so make sure you're using a CDMA version.

Also, try installing a home replacement app, see if that lets you do more...

Also, downloading the 800i apks (they are in the system dumps somewhere in the development section) can allow you to install the apps we're missing on the 800x.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TSBroich:
The CDMA version is Verizon's version, so it doesn't have the features I'm looking for. That's why I'm flashing the EURO R800i image. Here is my process so far, and the outcomes:

It boots up just fine (new boot animation).

However, I am stuck at one spot. I cannot do anything except bring down the notification bar, view the Xperia Play games when I slide out the gamepad (VCast is gone!), and change USB options when plugged into the computer.

Here are the steps that I have taken:

-Full stock restore with FlashTool

-Flashed doomlords boot.img with the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

-Flashed frasertag's system.img with the command "fastboot flash system system.img"

-Flashed the system.sin from the R800i Firmware (I extracted it) with the command "fastboot flash system system.sin"

-Disconnected USB then turned the phone on. It boots just fine.

Hmm, you don't say. I wonder how I would go about installing APKs (including a new launcher) on the device even though I cannot navigate through any menus...or anything else.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TSBroich:
Thank you for this reference. I was going to look for that myself, but you saved me the trouble. :)

A theory I have on why it didn't work is that the Nandroid backup was from factory stock, and NOT rooted.

So what I'm going to try next is:

-Do a Nandroid backup while in a rooted state, and all of the Verizon related software removed. Try restoring that.

-Download the system dump from the R800i, and install the R800i Launcher APK via ADB Shell.

With a launcher installed, hopefully we'll be able to, you know...do stuff.

Once the launcher is there, and it's confirmed that we can navigate the pages, we can go about installing the R800i apps if they aren't already there. But I shouldn't be getting ahead of myself now.
