Hello!

I am looking for help with rooting my HTC EVO 3D phone (HBOOT 1.5 with software 2.08.651.3), which went successfully all way through step 12 per HTC DEV unlock instructions, however, as described in step 13, the phone has never prompted for YES/NO to confirm unlock. I am getting the "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))" error pretty much for every fastboot command. The good thing is that phone boots and works properly otherwise.

Factory Reset or Removing battery did not help.

Could someone advice on how to clear this error and successfully root the phone from this point.

Below is the log of commandes:

1. C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot oem get_identifier_token

...

(bootloader)

(bootloader) < Please cut following message >

(bootloader) <<<< Identifier Token Start >>>>

************************************

(bootloader) <<<<< Identifier Token End >>>>>

OKAY [ 0.065s]

finished. total time: 0.066s

2. Got email from HTC DEV with UNLOCK_CODE.BIN file.

3. C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.152s]

writing 'unlocktoken'...

(bootloader) unlock token check successfully

OKAY [ 0.006s]

finished. total time: 0.159s

But as described in STEP 13, PHONE has never asked to confirm UNLOCK!

NOW I AM GETTING:

C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot oem get_identifier_token

...

FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))

finished. total time: 0.003s

C:\rootevo3dnew>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin

What hboot version are you on?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rangemaster01:
it is HBOOT 1.5 with software 2.08.651.3.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mteezey:
I can't link as I'm on the phone bit if you go to the cdma development section for the EVO 3d there is a few good guides to walk you through rooting and flashing with 1.5 you will still have s-on but be able to flash. My opinion would be go with twrp its in the stickies
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rangemaster01:
MTEEZEY,

Thank you for the advice. Found post advising to run the 2.08 RUU and then retry the HTC unlock. Worked for me!

Just bought this for (what I think) was a really good deal... then noticed after I bought it that the power cable is proprietary... (ugh)...

I was hoping to get some sort of battery pack for this in case it goes dead on a trip, anyone know of one that would work? OR even better, is there an adapter to charge the tablet S off of usb somehow?

... I'm hoping I didn't just get buyers remorse....
[Sony Tablet S] el0heem:
The AC adapter is two pieces. The cable with the prongs, then the little box with the cable that goes to the tablet. I bet you can find a cable that has a cigarette adapter instead of prongs. If thou find one, link me, I would be interested.

Won't 75w be too little? I think it will be less than 1 amp the charger requires. Maybe i m wrong in my calcs on this

No, you're probably right. I don't think iPads can charge via car chargers either now that I think about it, but I've used to to power laptops and charge cell phones. I haven't tried mine yet with the tablet s but maybe I shall soon.
[Sony Tablet S] dtaylorr:
annoying

The only thing I don't like so far is the crazy plug. Why does Sony have to be different than everyone else?

Gonna make a trip to Fry's Electronics and see what they have.
[Sony Tablet S] puredreamz:
would this 150w one work? http://www.amazon.com/BESTEK-inverter-converter-blackberry-MRI1511U-4/dp/B003SGJIRO/ref=pd_vtp_e_2. I'm not sure about how the wattage works with car chargers so please let me know if the cars battery can only produce a certain max output.
[Sony Tablet S] ps3taker:
I think wattage works as multiplication of voltage times amp. I don't have the charger here, but if you divide 150 watt by whatever voltage your converter produces you get the amps. I.e. Assuming 100-110v you get up to 1.5amp, or assuming 220v you get up to almost 700mAmp. I think sony charger requires 1amp but im not sure for what voltage they quote it. Hope it helps

Hey guys,

I want to flash a kernel over my custom rom should I just flash it with cwm?

Is it going to brick my phone?

Please help:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepynba:
what does correct kernel mean? some kernel that has that same KG2 / kg3/ etc stuff with your stock kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3000:
Normally on the first page of a rom thread you will get a description what is the rom. For example MIUI is well MIUI. Hyperdroid is sammy deodex rom with of course modifications and tweaks in the build to make it better than stock.

Sensation rom is sammy deodex no aosp nothing like that. And when you normally look for an AOSP rom it normally would say it in the heading of the thread anyway.

On the kernel thread it has a guide of what roms the kernel works on and which ones it does not. Siyah works basically with any rom. CM7 to AOSP to sammy deodex. Regarding Simone's kernel which is the NEAK version or something like that it is based on only sammy stock deodex roms and that is mainly the ones in original development and android..just look out for deodex, sammy and stock rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
AS above its all a question of reading the info on the first page of the kernel post .

Plus if it does not work flash another one .

the Neak kernel should be ok been on mine for a few days .

Speedmod likewise ok have used it before .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xReal:
Thanks everyone for their wonderful help!

I have got one last question

Speedmod kernel says "it is only for Samsung Gingerbread ROMs. It will not work with CyanogenMod or MIUI ROMS!"

does this means it will not work with sensation rom?

Edit: ok looks like the different versions are just the updated ones

But still the question is if it supports sensation rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Dude. Did you even read these two responses from DroidTrix and JJEgan?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xReal:
Yes indeed I have.

Am I missing anything?

Please elaborate your reply

Also please keep in mind that I have no experience of this so It might be a bit difficult for me to understand
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
*sigh*

Ok.

DroidTrix said:

"Sammy deodex" means that the the ROM is based on Samsung stock.

DroidTrix ALSO said:

AND, JJEgan said:

You yourself said:

Now, if you look at the VERY FIRST page for SensatioN ROM,, it says:

SensatioN ROM Features:

-Based on Samsung Firmware XWKK5 Android 2.3.6

With all of this information, you should be able to deduce that the Speedmod kernel WILL work with your ROM. If you still don't understand, I'm going to suggest you don't flash anything to your phone, for fear of ending up with a paperweight.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xReal:
Ok this time I understand everything

I didn't knew that Sammy roms means that the ROM is based on Samsung's stock ROM

Also I thought that speedmod only works on stock ROM so all this things got me confused

But anyways now its all clear

You don't need juice defender. It'll have a more negative effect on battery as its just another process running in the background.

Anyone with any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
didn't plan on using it to be honest, I just was confused by the message. didn't know a carrier could restrict an app like that (or atleast I think that's what's goin on) and don't really like it.

Try clearing market cache, then retry it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cdub5:
+1. I love this app. If I leave mobile data running, battery life on this phone sucks. With it I run schedules with mobile data where I can still get emails, and use my phone for more than 6 hrs. Don't know about the installation issues, since I've had it for awhile, just wanted to defend the app for those who feel it's not necessary
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
So anyways anyone know why its restricted?

im not sure who said not to use juice and i really dont care. i have noticed an improvement in my battery life by using it, and i am talking hours. If you shell out the money for the ultimate version you can take control over every power eating aspect of your phone. +1 to the developer

Oh I see that'd make sense. I was just scared ATT was gonna start goin block crazy or something. I've never seen an error of the sort before :O

Ok. This is really beginning to frustrate me. Where the heck is the downloads folder for stuff grabbed online, such as apps, comics, books?

On my Galaxy Tab it is on the root SD under downloads. Everything dumps into that folder. On the Nook Tablet, I can't seem to find it or it isn't called downloads. I've checked under Sys, System, B&N downloads, My Stuff. Anyone have a definitive answer?

Hi all,

I need help finding themes on my Droid Charge running GummyCharged2.1 and how to install them. I have been searching for awhile and all i see is for 2.0 themes. also i'm trying to change my boot up sound (GummyCharged didn't come with one i guess) and where or what folder to place it in and what file type it has to be. any help would be very appreciated. Thanks

Attached is my system information if it helps. if you need anything else just ask.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Endless2232:
The 2.1 update for GC just changed the heap size to help with hot boots, so any 2.0 theme will work fine on it. Download the theme zip file, boot into cwm, wipe cache and dalvik, mount system, and flash.

I believe the poweron.wav is in /system/etc . If not there, check /system/media. If you want to add your own boot up sound make a short mp3 on your computer, transfer it over to your phone, then rename it to poweron.wav and replace the original. Let me know if you have more questions.

Also, this should have been posted in Q&A, but its not a big deal.

Thanks for the help and I'll remember that next time.

Having an issue with the Go launcher Power Control Widget (that thing that lets you set wifi on/off, and 3 brightness levels).

It works perfect, until I turn my tablet all the way off. When I turn back on the tablet, it becomes a grey bar that says, "problem loading widget".

I can delete that from the home screen then put a new one on there and it will work until I do a complete power off.

If I go just into sleep mode it will work just fine.

My nook is rooted, but even before root when I put go launcher on there it was doing the same thing.

Any work around, or some other app/widget I can download that has wifi/brightness level adjustments?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CPerko:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20085658&postcount=15

Go launcher has some manner of permissions issue that causes widgets to fail to properly reload on boot (not wake from sleep). This procedure takes care of the problem. The only recommendation I have is to use the root management feature in ES File Explorer, rather than Root Explorer, since ES is a free app.

Didn't seem to work, but thanks for finding that link. I tried searching, but couldnt come up with anything.

I just received my view a few days ago. Like you, I picked up a case and a 32GB micro as card. I also put a screen protector on it. Originally I had no interest in the pen, but now think it might be kind of a neat accessory. I think I'll order the Fujitsu pen, as it's a lot cheaper than the one sold by HTC.

One cool app I installed is Google Currents. I had previously tried it on my phone, but it was a bit too heavy for my tastes. On a tablet, however, it's really a cool program. I also loaded the SwiftKeyX keyboard for tablets. The split keyboard in landscape is awesome (still has issues with Polaris Office though). Now I've just got to figure out how to jailbreak it (I'm on OTA Honeycomb) so I can install adfree android. Not sure if that is possible to do yet.
