What is this "google" you speak of? :rolleyes:

Thanks. I usually do but was feeling lazy. It seems when you google something, especially when it comes to rooting, there is a lot of things you have to check and confirm lot of variables before deciding that the answer is the correct one for the particular question your asking.

Thanks. Will try to make sure I do my due diligence next time.

This is not about rooting, it's about Desensing. After desensing by this tool my phone's gallery do not show any thing. It seems one of htc services disabled incorrectly but i can't find it.

I can't undrestant why some of peoples speak about google when they not have any thing to say!!

Yes i do googling before asking here and if you google this problem now you will find my post here as first result of google.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RazorChrist:
Hey frigid, very nice work on the tool, rooted my Design 4g no problems. I had a question, or maybe a request regarding the unroot option. I'm not sure if anyone would actually like to have this feature, or if it's possible, but is there a way to have the unroot option also remove the Superuser.apk and su files. I was just testing the tool last night and after rooting, I tried unrooting, but Superuser still shows up in the app list. After some googling, I found an app that allowed me to remove the Superuser files. But it might be handy for someone else if the unroot option of the tool could remove them as well.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frigid:
Yes sir the next update is going to be BIIIIG :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RazorChrist:
Sounds awesome, can't wait. Keep up the good work!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] carderel:
Sounds great! Thanks for all the hard work!

I have noticed that since de-sensing that the notifications for mail and messages no longer show the number of new messages on the gui when the phone interface is usable - it will notify you per its usual auditory method though. When the phone is locked and the screen with the little pull ring is present it does show the notification on the gui.

I can do a quick video example if your not sure what I am talking about.

I am not complaining or asking for a resolution but thought the observation should be noted. I can see where others might be concerned with it. I know sometimes observations like that can be indicators that lead to solutions to other problems.

THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frigid:

May I ask how you got these uninstalled? I've got mine rooted (and have confirmed with root check), but uninstalling is not an option through the settings -> applications, and the uninstall fails through File Expert.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] El Ha$on:
I uninstalled with titanium backup. I just select the app in question and select uninstall. Alternatively titanium also allows you to freeze the app. Which basically means the app is frozen lol. It's not in your app bin but if you ever wanted to bring it back you just have to unfreeze.

Hi Frigid,

I have the HTC Design 4G and it looks like everything worked fine for me, but it did not set S-OFF.

Is there something that I can try in order to fix this?

I just got my Design 4G from Amazon wireless for xmas gift for my wife!! Very excited... just took it out of the box and its gorgeous. (love HTC)

Anyways... this phone won't activate if I turn it on right? I still have to call the phone number I'm sure? Reason is, I want to play with it for a week before I active it.

What should I be doing from here? Powering on the phone for the first time and trying to root it? This tool will work right? I wanna start off my removing bloatware

Thanks for any help!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] El Ha$on:
Yes you either have to call or if you access your account thru there website there is an option available to activate.

If its bloatware then yes a root is necessary. This tool is very easy and a thanks/donation should go to the developer. Just follow the steps and you should have no problem. Good luck!!!

Sweet thanks!

Also, does this tool work on the EVO 4G original? It looks like it does from the first post in the thread. However my co-worker just applied a 2.3.3 update on her EVO 4G over the air. Not sure if this tool would still work or not.

If it works for both, hell yes I will donate
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] El Ha$on:
I believe it should since the EVO design comes preshipped with gingerbread. I wouldn't see why but the o.ly way to really find out is.by trying it.

One thing though is that this tool doesn't give S-off. If S-off is what you are looking for, then for the EVO design you will need to wait while they're methods for achieving S-off for the original EVO

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] chugger93:
I'm not familiar with what even S-off is. What are the drawbacks to not having it off? Can I still not remove bloatware?

Care to enlighten? Sorry, but thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] El Ha$on:
S-OFF means that the NAND portion of the device is unlocked and can be written to. The default setting for HTC’s devices is S-ON, which means that neither can you access certain areas of the system. So essentially for the EVO design you cannot currently try custom ROMs or anything like that. Even though right now they're none available. You can however unlock the bootloader thru the htcdev website which gives a couple of more capacities. But it seems this is your first time with all this stuff so that might be unnecessary and it also voids your warranty but so does rooting your device.

You can still remove all the bloatware with a perm root no problem and all apps that require root will work.

For the EVO 4G. S-off has been achieved, so if you want to check out what other ROMs that have been made for that device check out that thread. I once owned an EVO 4G so development for that device is extensive. Just make sure you read. That's all.

You can double check if rooted by checking if superuser was installed. You can attempt S-off but i doubt it will work

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] RazorChrist:
Hey frigid, I had another question about the tool, when you unlock the bootloader with HTCDev, I know it's supposed to flag your phone or watermark it in some way so that they know your phone has been unlocked. My question is, does relocking the bootloader remove the flags/watermark, or is it just flagged permanently from then on? What about factory restore?

Also, regarding your unroot script...I was browsing the forums and came across a tool to unroot by DooMLoRD. I haven't tested his unroot script, as my phone isn't currently rooted. But you might take a look at how his unroot works, there might be something extra he's doing that correctly removes all Superuser/busybox files that rooting installs. Anyway, here's the link to the tool:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] El Ha$on:
well the first link you have there has been attempting to get it too work. I have been following that thread.

The other link you provided it is the first time I see that, and it was posted not long ago. SO it needs to be looked into, but on his post he states that S-OFF is needed and I dont believe anyone has achieved that just yet.

As far as CM7 is concerned even if we had S-OFF I think it needs to be successfully ported over, but not 100% sure as I am no developer. BUt hopefully something comes up soon. Maybe that new thread can ignite more developer interest especially if he has a working recovery.

It looks like the 2nd link source site is Chinese. I used Dolphin HD (on my phone) with the translate plugin to read about the recoveries (cwm & twrp) & rom (us cellular base debloated) in pretty broken up English. It wasn't clear how to register with the site (to download files), but there was a place to login. It wasn't clear to how s-off was obtained. The rom looks like there isn't a radio included. The language in the rom is English, simple Chinese, & traditional Chinese. I may have missed some information, but if you have dolphin HD & the translate plugin you can find out all the information you want to. I wouldn't try to flash any of these until more information is known or you don't mind the risk involved.

The instructions are pretty lengthy, so I would try again on doing the unlock from htcdev because you may have missed something. Make sure the section you have to copy for the token is right (a hand full of posts above here explains). I have heard of it working on the hero s via the website from a couple of people.

I also seen a few people that had to run the script tool from this thread a few times before it took on both the design & hero s. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but worth a shot to try both suggestions of starting over. There is also a one click method for the hero s to perm root you might be able to try. PM me & I'll get you the link.

The root method (script tool) & unlock bootloader (htcdev.com) are 2 different things. With the tokens that is dealing with unlocking you bootloader. You can do them separate. Try the script first (I also pm you a link), then try the HTC site.

His friend would be me.... After pulling the token it locked up the phone. Where I had to do a battery pull and go back to h-boot. Then continued just fine. How ever there is no htc unlock tool, it is all adb commands and getting one file.

With that said I could have swore at the time of this being posted that this was for the design and discussion was being done here. How ever since he has merged this into a all in the one type deal. This isn't the place to talk about issues with the hero or stuff for it. Needs to stick to his tool and that be it.
