I just released the first version of my Evo Design 4G ROM, DesignerEvo 0.1--it's a debloated, deodexed version of the 1.19.651.0 OTA. It's been my daily driver for the past two weeks, figured it might come in handy for others as well :-)

There is some work over on SDX on kernel mods--one of the devs there has an OC kernel up and running (not posted yet). Hoping to integrate an overclockable kernel into my ROM one day!

Since I'm apparently not allowed to post links on here... Go to forum.sdx-developers.com and look in the Design 4G / Android Development forum for:

Apologies if this has already been covered, but after hours of researching and fretting and failing at this, i bought a new SD card and it worked like a charm. Turns out my card was just corrupt. Just food for thought for anyone having trouble.

Is it known that when you unlock the bootloader and root it the SD-card gets wiped? I think the rooting wiped it.

Okay, I pulled a completely ridiculous move. I am now in the same boat as doubledragon5. Here is my story...

As of a few days ago, everything was fine. I had my Evo Design rooted and WiFi Tether was working perfectly. I received a notification that there was a software update. At this point, I was not aware of the problems that every was having. Without thinking twice, I downloaded and installed the latest software update.

Obviously, my phone is no longer rooted. I figured, "let me set it back to factory settings and then root it again." I was unable to manually access fastboot so I used option 5 within SuperTools. I have since reset the device to factory settings; however, of course the software version is still the latest version.

So now I have a stock, unrooted phone. The main reason why I got this phone was to root it and then use WiFi Tether for my iPad. Can anyone walk me through what I need to do to get my phone back to root under the current software version....or walk me through the steps needed to downgrade the software version to a version that is compatible with SuperTools -

My HTC Evo Design 4G was rooted using this tool. I'm curious what I should be afraid of if I update my phone. Am I in danger of bricking it, or having it simply unroot itself?

The only things I did to my phone using this tool were steps 1 and 2, "Prep phone with ZergRush" and "Attempt Root".
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frigid:
You wont brick it! It will loose root you need to unlock bootloader and flash recovery first

I just got an Amaze 4G today and successfully unlocked the bootloader via HTC's method. Then I used HTC SuperTool and ran ZergRush and rooted it the first try! Freakin' sweet!

I'm not sure if something is wrong with my evo design or if taking the bloat out has done something...but I haven't gotten any notices about an update at all...and when I try to check manually It just says checking and nothing happens.

My question is this: Since I have removed the tell HTC app and other bloat will I not be able to get ota's at all any more...this would be a huge problem when ics comes out

Any input would be great

I've rooted and unlocked bootloader and have twrp custom recovery

Unlock bootloader?

Frigid, I sent a small donation your way the other day. Forgot about it over the holidays. Took two tries but Google Checkout eventually worked fine. Thanks again for all of your work.

I rooted my Design using your tool and it was working perfectly. For those of us who are new/ignorant of all the developing and programming, anyone want to sum up where we're at right now with this new update? For instance:

1) What are the ramifications of unlocking the bootloader? There seems to be a few methods out there, what do people think is the best/easiest?

2) Tried the http://bit.ly/su2361e link from a few pages ago, and it isn't working anymore. What's he best way to get root back after returning to stock and installing the OTA update?

If anyone is willing to take the time a step-by-step guide to all of this would be helpful, and would probably save a bunch of questions in the future. Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lykoi626:
It seems that you may have to have certain sprint apps installed to get sprint update...but that was from a sales rep...and as far as removing notification that may be an area to start...taking some of the sprint apps out...I've removed all of them and I have yet to be prompted to do an ota update

Here is what I did in response to the ota

Locked bootloader and flashed stock images on SD card through bootloader

Next did the ota....

Unlocked bootloader again and flashed twrp recovery (cwm would work too)

Downloaded the superuser binary and welcome back to root land

You do of course have to use the recovery to flash the superuser file
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jlcbean:
Do you absolutely have to lock your bootloader before you can install the OTA update? It would be a pain to have to wipe your phone every single time an update is available.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lykoi626:
Two reasons I had to relock were I couldn't update because I was missing too much sprint stuff to even receive the update...a locked bootloader is needed to flash the stock images.

If you can install the ota without locking then all you may have to do is flash a custom recovery to be able to flash the Su binaries...having said that, I couldn't install the ota without going back to a stock recovery. I had done too much to the phone prior to the ota.

Once you install the ota, the only way to get root back so far is to flash the custom recovery and then use that to flash superuser
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jlcbean:
Still having issues with the update. I locked the bootloader again (say *** RELOCKED ***) with a pink background on top, but installing the update still fails.

Is it possible this device is defective? Anything else I can try doing? I never installed any custom roms or recovery, just rooted and unlocked bootloader.

That's funny I updated mine with phone "unlocked" Then after that installed CMW recovery then rerooted...

I thought it might be the SD card, but using another card didn't work either.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jlcbean:
I'm all set. I ended up flashing the stock ROM, and installing the updates. Flashing custom recovery and SU binary got me access again.

If you don't have a custom recovery than it sounds like you may have to go back to stock like I did by putting the stock img zip on the root of the SD card and letting bootloader find and use it...

I've checked other forums and the only sure fire way to not have issues seems to b locking bootloader then using the stock images...kind of a pain but no reported issues doing it

I don't recall seeing a link anywhere or even anyone asking for it...

I know we have the stock Software v1.19.651.0 for the ED4G but does anyone have a link to or copy of Software v1.19.651.1? Additionally, does anyone know if the previous RUU version will install over an updated one? Would suck to accidentally hit this update button looming in my notification tray and have no way back.

Edit: Just realized almost every mirror has had the original RUU file deleted. Some of it due to the copyright fiasco with MegaUpload. wUpload is the only mirror left from MultiUpload.

Installing SuperUser didn't help.

So it seems I don't have root access yet. Can you help ?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] akguanja:
Thanks, but i need some help.

First off, frigid thanks for putting this whole thing together and all the time and effort youve put into it.

I read through all 126 pages :eek: found the other links to the cwm install and etc.

I got my Evo Design rooted using your method(props) i did try the bootloader unlock and sim unlock along with the s-off method on your script but ran into issues so i then just used the htcdev method and got the bootloader unlocked, I then installed 2fast's cwm recovery build.

Everything is awesome and smooth but one major issue now. I'm on a small carrier in alaska and i can no longer do MMS i did ALOT more reading today and found that the method you(i) used to root changes the CID of my phone which in turn causes (im thinking) issues with the MMS.

other local guys have had issues with unrevoked changing the CID of there htc phones and having the same issue(970-111-1111 issue(read the link posted)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881821

particularly this post is the same issue i have.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12174220&postcount=13

At this point im still unsure how to change the CID ive read the above link a couple times but not sure i completely understand. i didnt make note of my original CID before rooting but I can probably find out what my original CID was from my carrier to change it back.

Kind of hoping you(or anyone else who can help) can lend a hand here in helping me understand the process of changing the CID back to what it was originally on my phone to re-enable functionality of my MMS.

Alternatively my carrier has volunteered to just give me a new htc design but again id be stuck with a incorrect CID if this is my problem after i root it unless there is an alternative root method that will not change my CID.

keep in mind im still learning all this is sort of new to me.

lmk what you think maybe we can get together on yahoo or somewhere and hash it out id buy ya a beer or mtdew if thats your thing :P
