Somewhat of a fiasco. I waited until January this year for 3G. I found out I get limited 4G coverage that isn't even official. Speed is decent, not outstanding. I'm fairly happy with the service.

Sucks. The three closest towers to where I have crappy reception ALREADY had recent upgrades. And speeds are still in the 60-80kbps range.

[HTC EVO 3D] Sad Panda:
That's just an assumption based off incorrect logic. Maybe way way in the future, assuming sprint doesn't go bankrupt, but it's not as simple as just flipping a switch and all 3G towers get converted to 4g. Sprint is going to contract their 4g out, so it won't even be their towers, but light squared

LBC got it banging on the upgrades! lol I wish they would roll out heavy like that in the Bay Area. We got too much political red tape man. So many towers etc have been held up because of the Environmentalists aka "hippies" wanting long term studies etc, environmental reports before towers are approved. Thats why WiMax is crap out here. I love the area, hate some of the political crap though.

They said "in our market", it means in China. That mean it does not conflict with the official press release which said that the update will be rolled out for Europe open models in the week of 21st followed by other markets and carriers until the end of the year. So, if we get the kzd file for open models this week, no need to wait for other carriers.

Anyone able to help as well? I have the same screen as the OP because I am using a HTC Flyer 3G from US Cellular.

I don't understand the post about it being a View... they advertise it as a Flyer and the box says Flyer. Trying to put something decent on this tablet because it is very slow and outdated. I would like to put a custom ROM on it at some point if anything decent is available. At the least I would like root so I can use Titanium Backup and Sixaxis controls to play some games on it.

When I got it, it came with the software that is on it. I couldn't find a RUU that is stock Gingerbread that has the correct HBoot for Revolutionary S-OFF.

Please someone point me in the right direction!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jkananda:
Hi I hope you sorted this by now.

Don't worry about the packaging saying it is a Flyer. It is not. The "EXPRESS" model identifier means it is a View as Globatron has pointed out.

So you need to follow procedures for that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] j510:
The easiest way to tell if its a view is if its grey/black. Flyer is white. Im sure the casing is probably interchangeable but since it came from a carrier..

[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
So here's my goal, to leave everything stock, with only root (su installed), so I can install a Verizon locked app, su, and perhaps busybox (I installed Terminal Emulator, but virutally no commands available).

1. Why use the one-click method over the method? As I understand it, the just unlocks the bootloader, so I'd need to install a custom recovery, to be able to flash an unsigned zip (su). I'd like to keep the stock recovery. Perhaps the process is to flash custom recovery, su, then restore stock recovery?

2. After I get root, will future OTA updates work? I'd like to not break that functionality.

3. It would be nice if would also allow you to just get root on your phone without dealing with the bootloader.

I've rooted and flashed my old Cliq, and it's nice having root when I need it. I also wanted to play around with setting the button led backlight levels, which via the command line requires root.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
wrong section man
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Well, perhaps I mis-understood the sections. Seems any questions having to do with roms/rooting go in this section.

Either way, questions still stands, and it seems your the resident expert for this phone.

Forgot to add, from all the other threads I've read, it seems there is/was some confusion as to whether or not the method would all you to flash a new kernel, not that I currently want to do that.

Edit: Since this is apparently in the wrong section, can one of the mods move it?

Edit 2: Thanks Binary100100 for moving this thread to the correct section.

you can flash kernels it is harder what else you need to know
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
How do I backup the stock recovery?

If I unlock the bootloader, do I need to flash a custom recovery to move forward? Or does unlocking the bootloader allow me to flash unsigned zips?
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
yes and its hard to backup stock recovery i got a backup all ready
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
So with an unlocked bootloader, I won't need a custom recovery? Just trying to learn, as it's a bit different than my Cliq.
[HTC Amaze 4G] xboarder56:
you do need custom recovery sorry man i cant do much more explaing so busy butother people help you and look around read root threads etc
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Well, thanks for the help so far.

If any one else is reading this thread, these are the questions I still have:

1. How do I backup the stock recovery? I know once I load a custom recovery, I will be able to backup the stock ROM.

2. Disregarding any warranty issues, why choose the method or the One-Click method?

3. Once unlocked/rooted, will DRM content still work? Will the Movies section in the Android Market still be available? It's not on my Cliq with CyanogenMod 7.

4. Once unlocked/rooted, will OTA updates apply correctly? Was anyone rooted on 1.36.531.5 and have the 1.36.531.6 update apply correctly?

5. Does the method wipe the device?

Thanks,

Ryan
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
1. There is no need to backup the stock recovery. Once you flash a custom recovery there will never be a need to go back to stock. If for whatever reason you do want stock then just flash an ruu and you'll go completely back to stock.

2. You MUST use the method to get the unlock_code.bin file to unlock your bootloader before you even attempt to get root access. Once you have your bootloader unlocked you can make changes to the root of your device. With it locked you can only obtain a partial root which will reset itself after a reboot. For example, if you obtain a temporary root and remove a system app (like boatware), or two, or ten (whatever) then reboot they will re-appear. So you MUST have either s-off (not going to happen until an exploit is found and really isn't needed) or an unlocked bootloader. Once you receive the file from HTC then follow the included instructions to unlock your device. NOTE: You will lose all of your data when you unlock your bootloader so back it up first! After your bootloader is unlocked you can obtain root by one of two methods.

a) 1-Click root script.

This simply pushes an app called SuperUser.apk to the /system partition and a su binary file to the /system/bin directory which gives us root. Then download ClorckworkMod app from Market and install the custom recovery. From the app you can select "reboot to recovery" and install your custom roms.

b) Placing a custom recovery in a form of a PH85IMG.zip on the root of your external sdcard and boot into the bootloader. Then update the recovery.

Now with all of that being said I want to make something clear. The unlock method does NOT allow you to use the device for other carriers! You would still require the T-Mobile SIM to use the device.

3. Having root does have some disadvantages. Some roms may effect the ability to watch DRM movies, watch movies from Market, etc. Depends on your rom though. Check with the developer. ALWAYS make a nandroid backup prior to flashing any rom! That way if you don't like what you flashed you can always revert.

4. Okay... well I stand corrected.... this is the ONLY real reason to install the stock recovery. However installing an OTA update will cause you to lose root. Even with a custom recovery and a stock rom... if you receive a notice to install an update it will not work! The best alternative if you really really really want the update and lose all root then flash an RUU, do the update and hope that HTC didn't do anything to prevent you from getting root again. My best advice would be to wait for your favorite developer to update his/her rom with the update that you're trying to flash. That way you won't lose your data (shouldn't anyway) and no real risk of losing root.

With all that being said... I'm moving this to General because it's where all the Q&A's go. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Thanks for all the detailed info. I'd like root (installation of Superuser only) for the stock ROM. I don't plan on installing a custom ROM at this time. If I have an unlocked bootloader, how could HTC block root access? Couldn't I just flash an su zip? Ideally, I'd like to be able to swap recoveries out to apply the OTA updates. I kinda wish they had a code to just give me root access on the stock ROM.

I see the ruu thread, but am concerned about the source of the ROMs. Does HTC ever officially release a complete stock ROM?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
This is all that you really need here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1324177

If you really want to be able to download and install system updates you will need the stock recovery in step 4.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
IDK but I read your questions in a very slow voice like mr. mackey in southpark or something

anyways, why are you so worried about getting OTA updates?

a developer will eventually root and deodex it anyways.

You say you want to keep stock rom, but why don't you try the Custom ROMs which are basically stock ROMs on steroids?

You do realize when you apply an OTA update you lose your root access and there is a possibility that it'll be harder to even have your device rooted in the future.

For example, the mt4g, everybody got happy and updated to the gingerbread OTA, but lost root and nobody found out how to exploit it until about a month later or so.. and that is only by downgrading which is a tedious process that many, who don't know how to use ADB, have troubles with.

I believe the OTA updates comes with new bootloaders and radios, not only the rom, so it will lock your bootloader. (I think) that's what it does to other devices. Who knows if htcdev will work on all bootloaders. just my two cents, if you want full control of your device, unlock bootloader and root it. You can get every OTA update through developers here.
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Man, hopefully I don't sound like that. I really appreciate all the step-by-step guides; but, unlike most people, I want to understand what I'm doing, not just run through the steps.

Well, I don't really want to wipe my device at this time, so that probably rules out the HTC Dev method and installing a custom ROM. I asked about the source of the ROMs in the RUU thread, but if the stock recovery would flash them, then they'd obviously have been signed by HTC. If software is available via an official source, why would I download it from a forum? If I can get Ubuntu from Canonical, I wouldn't go download the ISO from an unofficial mirror (or if I did, I'd verify with the md5sum keys posted by Canonical).

Since I am really happy with my device as it is, and the ease of updating via OTA, I didn't want to give that up, just for the couple things I want to do with root access.

Hmm, unless these devices have backup/secondary bootloaders, I doubt and OTA update would flash a new one, as an error during that flash could brick the device. It would seem odd that HTC would promise to unlock bootloaders, give an OTA update that would not work with their site. I'm not saying that it couldn't happen, just seems unlikely. Was the MT4G unlock done via? If it was an exploit to gain root, then I'd understand why they'd loose root.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
HTC has updated their bootloaders via OTA on a few occasions. And we know that HTC and T-Mobile (along with other carriers) read these forums as well (shout out to HTC and our wireless carriers) so almost literally the day of an exploit is discovered and if HTC isn't happy with our findings what do you suppose they will do? They will almost always look for the safest way to update the bootloader and keep us from being able to use that exploit. Seeing that we still don't have S-OFF (and may never have it) they are obviously doing all they can to make it more and more difficult. That in itself is proof that they don't want us to have it. So would they push an OTA to keep us locked to S-ON if they can? You better believe it!
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
I can see them patching a hole that would get you S-OFF, but seems odd that they would take back an unlocked bootloader that they themselves unlocked.

I guess I'm ok with the offical unlock method without S-OFF, if the only things I can't do are flash a new bootloader, radio, or unlock the SIM. Did I miss anything there?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
I don't get it, you say you want to use root on the stock roms, and now you're saying why bother downloading a stock ROM that is prerooted when you can download stock ROM that isn't rooted ota? What is the difference? You're going to want to root the ota updates and the developers are already providing it for you. it doesn't matter where you get it, you're gonna use some 3rd party exploit to root the ROM anyways.

You my friend seems to have a indecisive problem. I understand that you want to understand the process, but if you don't want anything to do with 3rd party developing you're in the wrong place. You're making your life very hard.

And i think that's about it about being s-on. It's more of the hardware functionality that is locked.

Think about it as a locked bios kinda... Lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
I don't need to use an exploit to root the stock rom. I can unlock my bootloader direct from HTC, flash a new recovery, and then flash the superuser program. That was kinda my point in asking in the first place... why use an exploit (one-click), when an official route is available?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Teo032:
That's considered official? It's basically the same thing..
[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
Well, yeah, you end up at the same place, except instead of using an exploit, I go to HTC to get an unlock code. I'd consider it official since I'd go through HTC to get the ball rolling.
