You can always reinstall the stock RUU which will revert your phone back to stock. You'll need to check for updates in "About Phone" to install the latest OTA.

Wireless Tether does indeed allow you to tether freely.

I'm not sure about S-off, but it appears that this update may indeed make that happen. I'll know more when I have a chance to play with it myself, though I'm not sure how to check and see if its successful. This is my first HTC phone. My previous was a Samsung Moment, lol.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] El Ha$on:
I didn't get S-off to work for me. But the way to check if S-off happened would be by turning the phone off and booting in bootloader.

hello and happy thanksgiving!!!

sorry to intrude on your post but i've been checking around on the site because i got myself intp a jam on my htc sensation.

i somehow got stuck in a boot loop with mt rom and my recoverybut i can get into hboot...

so my question is would this tool help me out and would you guys know how to get me free from this horrid boot loo?

thanks for any help
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] El Ha$on:
But the unlocked bootloader option states htcdev. I thought they left some sort of key allowing either sprint or HTC from knowing you unlocked. Is this true??

Sigh... I hate not knowing what I'm doing. I used the 2.1 version to root my phone, and everything seemed to work. Then I did the wireless tether exploit, and the app comes up on my phone. But I can't get it to work. I can get my computer to connect to my phone, but no internet access. Anyone have and suggestions or help? Would the new HTC super tool be of any help to me? Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ryandaneri:
Hahaha sorry. I said is it necessary to have adb installed.

Question....noticed the tool days SIM unlock...does that mean we can use any SIM in this thing?

I understand that from factory all north american SIMs are locked out, does this unlock that restriction?

For example, if I travel to mexico, can I use a mexican prepaid SIM and have local service while I am there?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] El Ha$on:
The phone comes unlocked for world use but locked for sin cards in the USA. Sim unlock would mean you can use sim cards from here in the USA.

And yes if you go to Mexico and use a prepaid sim from there you would have local service.

I did the sim unlock tool last night but haven't tested it with a sim card from tmobile or at&t yet to see if it actually worked.

--------EDIT----------

Tried the sim unlock and popped in an At&t sim but I didn't get any signal at all. Tries the different settings, only GSM. But nothing...

Sad. I really want to be able to use this when I travel to mexico and canada...without huge roaming fees...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frigid:
Did out ask you for an unlock code?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] El Ha$on:
No not with at&t sim. But i am leaving the country at the end of Dec. And planning on using it there. I can report back if it worked or not.

Traveling to Mexico and canada and using a local sim should work.

An entire list has not been created because I dont believe he is even sure how many devices its works on. This thread started for the EVO design and now it has grown.

The only way to find out is by people willing to try on their devices and reporting back if it worked or not.

I'm not sure how many people knew this, but if you quickly hold the power button and tap home the phone will take a screenshot. Well, for some reason all mine aren't showing up anymore. They'll be saved in the default camera shots directory, but they won't open. When I check their properties Astro says the filesize is 0.

Anyone have an idea of what might be going on? I'm clueless.

I can't be absolutely certain, but I just noticed it yesterday.

I have 64 bit Windows 7. I did have my laptop dual booted with 64 bit Linux and Windows 7, but the screen is shot. I still have the Livecd. Ubuntu 10.1, I think. Could I run it in a virtual box instead of actually installing? The desktop I have access to isn't mine, so I'd like to avoid that if possible. If not, I'll do it anyway as long as I can revert back to Windows 7 only.

If it were my comp this would have been done ages ago, lol.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] grad061980:
Afaik, Yes you can compile code in a VM. I run Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit in vmware fusion on my imac. I have a build environment setup in it to do aosp builds for my cdma htc desire.

My skills don't go very far as I just mainly copy & paste build commands from source repos & can make small changes to roms. It takes 2 hours to build or compile a rom, but works none the less.

I don't have this phone, so I don't know if I can help or not, plus my setup is running short on space atm. I would like to buy the design 4g 's cousin the hero s, but haven't yet.

my guess is your running windows 32bit and/or the vitual machine your running is 32bit since the "cpu" it sees is from the virtual machine not your actual computer's cpu.
