how to do that?

Boot into recovery, then depending on version it will be in wipe or advanced option. Wipe/clear dalvik cache.

?? are you rooted ?? With custom recovery??

If not then ignore my post cos dalvik can't be wiped this way on unrooted phone. Your gonna have to factory reset to totally clear,sorry.

[Acer Iconia A500] mihnead:
Just wondering, I have the 501 with honeyvillain (and have tried lightspeed and taboonay roms), and while I can't say that there are noticeable differences in battery life between the roms, using that weird iconia battery saver app DOES increase battery life, in what I've seen, by as much as 40%.

I might be crazy, it might just be me, I haven't actually done any proper tests, but with full backlight and relatively light internet use (email, pulse news, app updates from the market and stuff like that for maybe 2 hours a day at max), I see the battery draining faster while on 3g than on wireless. Am I right?

Granted, what the app does is restart the tablet with phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk disabled, so it's basically turning it into a glorified a500, but I would like to know what your thoughts are on the matter. on idle, i've had my iconia stay up for up to 4 days, with wireless and 3g off. But with 3g on, it drains a whole lot faster than on wireless. Is there a fix for that, am I nuts, is there a setting like that enable always on mobile data that needs to be unchecked? what's the solution?

thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Interesting. Usually I run 2 or more days using the internal 3g. The only thing different I did, was checked "use 3g only" in my network settings so it wouldn't constantly be looking for the stronger network signal. That may increase your power savings.

After getting Wifi at home last week, I noticed for a little bit higher amount of usage, the battery reaches half charge at the end of the day, which is about normal for it. Of course I did a lot more with it using wifi.

Am running Taboonay 2.2 with thors kernel 3.9. Overclocked to 1.4gtz normally, unless I watch an HD film where I run it at 1.68Gtz.
[Acer Iconia A500] mihnead:
interesting, thanks for the input. I did manage to squeeze more out of it with a number of small software tweaks, basically auto-lighting, disabled the always on mobile data and have a widget where i control pretty much any aspect of connectivity. power consumption has gone down. i wonder if ICS does any better in terms of power management.

Sd card or just totally wrong procedures?

:confused::(:confused: for days

I just Tried out the oct 22 AmeriCan Android Sd update which went super fine:rolleyes: with wifi and market working. I couldnt have enough than to install over 50 apps via wifi during the next hour (at the same time connected to pc making extra 20 plus installs). the Sd build proved super fine.

Wifi some how turned down and wouldnt wake up no more... this made me format the sd card and started all over again.... and again :confused: and.. again.

what happens is that the wifi turns of and on automatically trying to scan but to no avail... any help please:o.. am so desperate

[HTC EVO 3D] n_god:
I was try to do this almast 2 mounts.

Very 1st I need to say sorry about my bad English

changing CID is needed for non-europe useres...

1. Unlock your bootloader with HTC Unlocktoken

2. Change your CID on fastboot

3.Re-Lock your bootloader

[If you already have europian CID and hboot 1.49.0018 you can pass first 2 steps...]

Yes Thats it Now all you need PG86IMG.zip on your SD card.

Download PG86IMG.zip http://www.multiupload.com/39NSAMWQU7 NOTE:it will delete all your internal memory. Before flash it make backup)

4. Put your sd Card to your pc copy PG86IMG.zip to your sd card root

5. Power off your phone.

6. Press Vol Down+Power to open hboot.

7. Let the device find the zip file and flash it.

8. Chk the hboot version now.

9. I thing I don't need to explain how to use Revolutionary tool :D

Spacial Thanks for Football for the offician RUU, Metronom76 for the CID changing Code, Scorpunix for flashable HBoot files
[HTC EVO 3D] n_god:
when you changed CID it will say [FATAL ERROR] you can basicly ignore that. there is no error.
[HTC EVO 3D] kartikb:
hey thanks for the info, which offical RUU has the older hboot so I can go ahead and download it?
[HTC EVO 3D] thre3aces:
Nice one. I'm sure lots of people will benefit from this :)

I won't need to. I'm already s-offed using revolutionary
[HTC EVO 3D] n_god:
This one has HBoot 1.49.0007

I'm still uploading the PG86IMG file. I'll let you know when it's done
[HTC EVO 3D] kartikb:
thanks, I'll go ahead and download that file, if before that you do manage to upload the hboot file, I'll just download the hboot.

Thanks a lot
[HTC EVO 3D] n_god:
my upload is not the Hboot only. It's basicly the same rom for flashing from SD card.

If you managed to spare it be my guess please because it is beyonde my talents :D
[HTC EVO 3D] n_god:
Upload complated link is on OP too

http://www.multiupload.com/39NSAMWQU7
[HTC EVO 3D] Ganii:
If u want install 1.49.007 bootloader copy allegated file in root of your sd

and restart in bootloader

[HTC EVO 3D] n_god:
Thanks... I was not know which files are needed for the flash new hboot.

HBOOT DOWNGRADE ADDED TO OP
[HTC EVO 3D] Evengard:
Does that really work? Now a way to make S-OFF for devices with HBoot with version bigger than 1.49.0008?
[HTC EVO 3D] n_god:
follow the tutorial it makes your hboot 1.49.0007
[HTC EVO 3D] Ganii:
No problem!

But don`t know exactly,maybe some users need to edit the

"android-info.txt" inside the PG86IMG.zip,otherwise there can be problems

and downgrade wont work.

With hboot version 1.49.0018 it works!
[HTC EVO 3D] n_god:
chaning CID is for that users because I tried chaning txt file and it doesn't work...
[HTC EVO 3D] Ganii:
Ah Ok,then it should work for all ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] tonettothebest:
But why have i do to this downgrade? what is the benefit?
[HTC EVO 3D] shiznt:
The benefit is S-Off which will allow you to flash any ROM/Kernel. If you currently have 1.49.0011 or above unlocked using the HTC method you would have had troubles where some ROMs just sit at the white HTC screen forever or error messages when trying to flash kernels ect.

This will fix all those issues!

My Hboot version is 1.49.0012

waiting for rev soff......
[HTC EVO 3D] storm_me:
thanks tmihai20 for the help!!

what do you mean with " If your friend's Evo 3D is untouched, you don't need to relock the bootloader. " ?? SHOULD i miss the step 3 ??

His evo hboot was 0007 but he made a software update which turned is hboot to 0018... still and until now always s-on.. :( it hasn't been unlocked.

It's a european Evo so i presume step 1 and 2 are to be missed correct?

And just need windows command prompt and the evo connected to usb on charging only, correct?

A BIG thanks and waiting, if possible, for a reply..
[HTC EVO 3D] tmihai20:
In order for the update through goldcard to work, bootloader has to be locked. If he didn't unlock it using HTCdev.com, then I guess you can skip steps 1, 2 and 3. Unlocking the bootloader is not the same with achieving S-Off. If you unlock the bootloader then you have access to all partitions other than boot. By achieving S-Off (Security-Off), you will have read and write access to the boot partition and you will be able to flash a kernel or a ROM using recovery. It doesn't even need to be connected to the computer or to a charger if it has enough battery left (more than 50%). If the phone says "locked" and "S-On", then you can go to step 4.
[HTC EVO 3D] storm_me:
tmihai20 once again thanks!

yes, i think i know that(newbie on android.. very indeed).. only have s-off when su is installed..

"It doesn't even need to be connected to the computer"?? :confused:

only put the file on sd card and power off phone, bla bla? just that??

i know that for sure, his hboot was the ideal (0007) and he made a software update and it turned to 0018..

and i don't know where i can see that phone is like you say "locked" but s-off it is for sure!! no htc method, nothing!!! just a software update.

another thing if possible, i've downloaded from this post 2 PG86IMG.zip files.. one with less more than 300KB and another more than 300MB.. wich one should i use? the one that has more than 300MB, right??

don't like to repeat myself, but only put the file on sd card and power off phone, bla bla? just that?? don't need to wipe all the data of his sd card? or he can maintain his sdcard content?? i just don't wanna brick my friends phone...

Lots of thanks tmihai20..
[HTC EVO 3D] danielbanjan:
I'm sorry if this question was already answered, but does downgrading the HBoot affect the software version present on the device? ( for example if I have HBoot 0018 and android 2.3.4 and I downgrade to HBoot 0007 will the os version downgrade to 2.3.3 for example? ). Also, could you tell me what settings, apps I will loose/have after performing this downgrade?
[HTC EVO 3D] geordie 34:
Use htcsupertool to root then use rev to s off if u want to go back to stock run the ruu then accept the OTA updates takes u back to 018 much easier than the scripts
[HTC EVO 3D] geordie 34:
This also allows u to have locked bootloader and not relocked for warranty purposes
[HTC EVO 3D] chubby65:
No still version 2.3.4 but you will lose your 3d games but if you want to get them back by downloading update to SD card use root explorer to extract from there you just click on the game apk and install
[HTC EVO 3D] danielbanjan:
Ok, Thank you for the information.
[HTC EVO 3D] waltibaba:
For all the people with Telstra, Optus, Vodaphone and other branded devices, has anyone found a way to unbrand yet? i.e. change CID to HTC__001 then flash a EU Ruu on top, or even fool the device into accepting it with non-matching CID's (goldcard does NOT work!).

I'm going crazy here with my VODAP120 on hboot 0018, there's no RUU anywhere on the internet that has updates for it, and it's not possible to modify the android-info.txt in the RUU without unpacking. Do any devs have any ideas? It was possible for the DHD as well as the Sensation, but I don't yet have the necessary knowledge to port the procedure...

If anyone knows how to edit android-info.txt without unpacking the RUU zip, that alone would already be very helpful for all the people with branded phones...
[HTC EVO 3D] danielbanjan:
Also, could anyone tell me if I need to save any configuration settings (for the provider, or wifi settings, or something like that) before attempting unlocking+rooting and s-off?
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
7Zip app does just what your asking. Allows you to modify files inside the zip without messing with the actual file. Just install it, double click the .zip file and go ahead and change whatever you want.
[HTC EVO 3D] nmmvnnnet:
Have you tried ? I can open it, but can not save it.
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
Try extracting the whole zip using 7zip. Then open the file your looking for: change what you need, save it, then drop that file onto the original zip and choose overwrite.
[HTC EVO 3D] pinhedd:
Hi can someone clarify something for me please.

My Evo 3d is unrooted I had to send it off for repair due to a screen issue.

It now has .0018 hboot. It is a UK model so according to this guide I can roll the hboot back and get s-off using revolutionary tool, correct? As I've been informed I cant roll hboot back with s-on.

Now I am complete novice but have been researching what I need to do to get rooted and was gonna go ahead but since I've been told its not possible I'm now a little confused as I thought that was the whole point of this guide. So i just want confirmation before I go ahead please.

Many thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] nmmvnnnet:
It is not easy.Please read the request carefully :

If anyone knows how to edit android-info.txt without unpacking the RUU zip, that alone would already be very helpful for all the people with branded phones...
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
It's not possible. The zip must be signed and encrypted. HTC only knows how to do that. You will get signature verfication fail mate... I tried too.
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
That's odd, cause through trying to modify my 1.49.0011 hboot, I actually did add my cid into the android-text file and had no issues about the verify errors.

If you are using only 7zip as your unzipper this method works, I used to unzip cwm roms add what I wanted then rezip(WRONG) you will get the error, then installation aborted.

Take the file you modified and drop it into the orginal zip that is still zipped, NOT the folder of the same name. Then it will ask you to overwrite. I did this to my PG86IMG with new cid intact.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
did you flash the zip using fastboot or bootloader?

Tried that, failed because of winrar possible?
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
Remove winrar yes: only use 7zip, supports more file types too.

Flashed through bootloader here.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37682542/notreally.png

doesn't work for me even with 7zip.

I could make a all over solution for people with this.
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
I know I tried your solution scripts: Damn hboot 1.49.0011 Asia model: finally got it down to 1.49.0007 and soff.

Ended up being the Rom I was using which didn't have root correct to mount mmcblk0p31.

You are right, with all the info I read initially trying to s-off this thing and trying so many options it was a fluke, although I swore I threw in the modified text: just tried and error.

Odd because I swore i did this as an option.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
I don't get you know. you did that succesfully? I need to know how men....

so I could just add every cid like this: HTC__*, VODAFONE__*,TELSTRA* etc etc...

that would be ****ing awesome...
[HTC EVO 3D] Andybrit:
I've got a new HTC EVO 3D. It is sim free and is a European module. I have hboot of 1.49.0018.

I've read through this thread and a bit confused about which step I need to start from. I've seen comments saying with 18 they need to do the first steps.

If my phone has been untouched do i need to just start at the step 3 relock stage?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
no u have to start with unlocking ur device via www.htcdev.com

second: flash a custom rom

third: use the tool in post two (tool is made by me) from this thread

4th: enjoy your freedom :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Andybrit:
What does the comment "If you already have europian CID and hboot 1.49.0018 you can pass first 2 steps..." in the guide mean?

Does that not mean i can skip the htcdev part?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
that you do not need to change your CID.

that's what it means.
[HTC EVO 3D] kurtish:
The link in post 2 doesn't load....do you have a mirror? Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
In the end of my last post I said that I did try it on my end and was without success.:(

Well after trying your scripts and not having success, I went the initial route on this thread to accomplish this seemingly impossible s-off.

The latest leedroid Rom was where this problem arose. For some odd reason the adb pushing of the mmcblk0p31 came up with permission denied, no matter if I gave the location correct permissions through root explorer.

So flashed another Rom, romeos I believe, tried the same command, and woalah, wrote it back to the phone after hex editing it with no permission denied error.

Sorry to seemingly be throwing you off. Just a wealth of new learning coming from the HD2.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
yeah you have to su in adb shell sometimes on some devices.

by the way changing cid does ONLY work if there are more than one ruu .

I.E. Telstra has only one RUU u cannot change the CID - No way.
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
Cool, learn something new everyday.

By the way my model is an Asia 1.49.0011 and cid HTC__044 so maybe you can integrate this into your tool.

Tried you first iteration, HTC grey letters, no progress bar, phone rebooted. I'm like woo-hoo, checked and still stuck on the 1.49.0011

The hex editing info works on I know hboot. 1.49.0011 and 1.49.0012, it might not be one click or two, but it can be done to fully s-off this beast.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
In the latest version I am changing cid if it is possible.

this thread is stupid and not working for everybody.

Big leck of information.

wifi error is because u cannot flash an unsigned boot.img as s-on user.

due to module + kernel missmatch you get that error.

Flash the boot.img out of the leedroid kernel using flashimagegui from the market.

And tell me ur cid and I will tell u if you are able to downgrade or not.
