Hi, are you guys running custom roms? I updated my version of ahrd to 6.1.2 and now that wake lock appears waaay down in my list.

I also realised that my main battery drain was the radio trying to hold onto the 3g connection in bad signal areas, ie at home. If I manually switched to GSM I saw an amazing improvement, so now I use a great app called toggle 2g to switch to2g when using WiFi or sleeping Search for it in the forums. Works with locale too although I find that to be an over zealous wake lock itself

Unfortunately my friends EVO 3D's digitizer is going insane and randomly selecting things on the screen. He needs to take it in but I'm not sure how Sprint will handle it with it being S-OFF and all. I can return it to a unrooted ROM but I wouldn't want to mess with the HBOOT etc if I didn't have to.

Has anybody taken their EVO 3D in with S-OFF and got repairs done on it?
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
They will work on phones with s-off as long as you are on a stock rom. Actually, most of the time the techs wont even check to see if you are s-off, but just at least return to the latest stock rom
[HTC EVO 3D] nate.spangler:
I work at a preferred service and repair store and we haven't even received parts for the 3d yet. We have been told soon. I'd assume that they will ae (advanced exchange) it for you. Just to be sure I'd unroot. But many have said they send phones back all the time rooted.
[HTC EVO 3D] bcarter2000:
My wife just had the screen replaced on her Evo4G, which was rooted, had one of Miks roms installed, and the splash screen was changed. They didn't say anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
Thanks for the reply sitlet. I will get it back to a stock rom.

I am downloading the 2.17 stock RUU now. I can run the RUU and extract the zip out. In there remove at least the hboot and recovery... will that work. Do they work on phones with custom recoveries as well?
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
I extracted the ROM.zip out of the 2.17 RUU. Then I extracted everything out of the ROM.zip and removed hboot 1.5. Repackaged it back into a zip. So this should be good to go on flashing from the bootloader? The phone currently has a 2.08 rooted ROM on it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sand1303:
I have had phones replaced with s-off and got a 150$ trade in with my og EVO. All were stock roms. I always keep a stock ROM on my SD card just in case I have to pop into a store and have them look at something
[HTC EVO 3D] caseyatbt:
I took mine in rooted with stock rom. They replaced the screen no questions asked. However, it was alerting for an update which I knew would update the hboot. They gave it back saying they were sorry that they didn't update it for me since I didn't leave the sd card in it. So, if is signaling to be updated, don't give it to them with the card in it.
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
Don't worry about the phone being rooted when you take it in. That shouldn't matter. Just flash clean ROM or something similar. Just a stock rooted ROM and you'll be fine. They won't even know the difference all they are doing is replacing hardware.

And ditto on the SD card. Leave that out so they can't download any updates. I would probably even be straight forward with them and tell them you don't want them to update anything because you need the HBOOT unlocked in order to do dev work for qualcom. When they ask what you are doing just say your contract does not allow you to discuss details. They won't bother you about it.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate.spangler:
We never even go into recovery, my store manager and repair tech had no idea what s-off was until I started...
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
Awesome. Thanks for all the replies everybody.

I downloaded the 2.17 RUU and extracted the rom.zip out of it. Then removed the hboot 1.5 and repacked the zip and flashed. Got it flashed back to stock 2.17 and he is going to take it into sprint tomorrow.

Anybody know what Sprints policy is on water damage stickers? My phone had got some water on it awhile back and the water stickers are red. The phone works fine and everything, I just hope I don't have this digitizer issue and need it repaired. I've got TEP but would sprint work on it if the water sticker is red?
[HTC EVO 3D] Jraw23:
It depends on the store. If the water stickers are red then they can reject it. Most techs will look for signs of water damage on the board. If they find water damage on the board most will send you to the insurance company. Just give a shot and see what happens.
[HTC EVO 3D] cjackxiii:
I'm hoping to head over there tonight but was wondering

If I flash RUU 2.17 will it also update my bootloader?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
Yes, if you run the 2.17 RUU it will update your bootloader. If you are already S-OFF from revolutionary you will be fine though. You can downgrade back from 1.5 to 1.4. If you want to keep hboot 1.4 and return to a stock non-rooted ROM, you'll need to extract the rom.zip out of the RUU and remove HBOOT. Or i guess I could upload what I made if you want it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Unfortunately, if the water indicators went off, they will likely not work on it at all. That's the FIRST thing every tech will look at. And it doesn't matter if you say it only got a little wet, they wont believe you.
[HTC EVO 3D] leerage:
Well my friend took his EVO 3D out to sprint and they replaced the whole LCD/digitizer. Luckily someone had returned a pretty much brand new EVO 3D. So the tech just swapped it out.
[HTC EVO 3D] Vandelay007:
I too am a victim of an hboot 1.5 replacement... If I try to downgrade to 1.4, obviously not knowing if the previous owner was rooted... Would it cause any problems, you know, in the event it was never previously rooted?

Sent from my 3VO
[HTC EVO 3D] patrao_n:
if you are s-off(unlikely) then ya you can downgrade. but if you are s-on even if it was s-off from the last person and you are 1.5 there is no way to get it back. htc more than likely put it back to s-on before handing it your way. oh and you can still unlock the bootloader and gain root. but you have to unlock through htc.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
You can't downgrade unless you have s-off, and you can't get s-ff with a 1.50 hboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Trina9:
All depends on the Sprint store. My last visit to a Sprint store the reps told me I had too many apps on my phone and most of them were bad. And I had a rooted phone because I had a Sense skin and Widget Locker running.

Once you are rooted and unlocked you need to flack clockworkmod recovery. I have not tried the recovery flash in this tool. The way I did it....

1. Install Root Explorer

2. Install Rom Manager

3. Open Root Explorer> Toggle r/w permissions> Delete "/system/recovery-from-boot.p"

4. Open Rom Manager> Flash Clockworkmod Recovery

5. Power Off Phone

5. Boot into Fastboot

6. Select Recovery

7. Make a backup of stock

8. Download/place the ROM of your choice to the SDcard of the phone

9. Follow steps 5-7

10. Select install zip from sdcard

11. Find your ROM and flash.

12. Reboot your phone, and your done!

can i do just the root? And if i can does it still wipe the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dakota0206:
Yes you can just do root. I do not believe you would lose data if rooting only. Not %100 though.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If it is not and you want to root you should unlock it. It would definitely wipe then though.

Either way if you use the backup tool before hand you wont lose your data!

I just got my hands on my GNex and Im about to use your tool to root for the first time.. so I wanted to ask, Once rooted how do i flash a custom ROM? sorry i know this was kinda explained in the OP but im totally new at this so need a lil help. TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CyberPunk7t9:
After you're done with unlock and rooting using the script..

1. Download the custom ROM you wish to use (zip file).

2. Turn off your phone.

3. Hold both volume up and volume down keys (What I do is press hard in the middle), then push the power button. (If done right, you should see a screen with the Android robot)

4. Use the volume up/down to navigate thru the options untill you see "Recovery" above on the screen then press the power button to chose it. (If you see a boot up screen that says "Clockwork Recovery 5.0.0.2" it means you have CWM recovery installed and ready to install custom ROMS)

5. Use the volume up/down to navigate to "install zip from sd card" then press the power button.

6. Locate the zip file of the custom ROM in your phone (most probably in the Download folder if downloaded using the phone itself).

7. Press the power button to flash the ROM.

8. Using the same concept of volume up/down options navigation, find "go back" then chose "reboot system".

That's it.

BUT... be VERY careful to pick your GNEX model (GSM or LTE) in this unlocking/rooting script, as well when chosing a custom ROM to flash.

Please help out a newbie. I've completed the unlock and my GN just keeps rebooting. I get as far as the message ANDROID IS UPGRADING and then it just starts over again.

I need to send my device in for warranty. It's from rogers and when I got it, it was not yakju. Right now its unlocked, rooted, and running AOKP, and franco. To put it back to oem state, I'm planning on using Wug's toolkit. That'll flash yakju, unroot it, and lock the bootloader.

My question is whether this method will flash the factory kernel too, if it'll flash the stock recovery, and if my carrier will care/notice that I have yakju installed.

Yes. It will flash the factory kernel and restore the stock recovery. Whether or not your carrier will care/notice... I cant really answer that definitively... I have no way of knowing.

This software looks great. Just got my Galaxy Nexus and I need to root it so I can get some tunneling action going on. Going to try the tool out and see what happens. Before I do I'm curious. I understand that rooting it will wipe everything. Can I backup my app and app data BEFORE I actually root? For example, I really don't want to re-download all of the maps and data for my GPS software...

Will report back after the work day is over!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dakota0206:
Yes you can back that up before you root. Rooting won't actually wipe anything. It wipes when you unlock the bootloader. Use the backup feature and you will be good.

Oh hmm alright. So basically if I just root I can install all apps I want(the one's that require root I mean).

But I'd have to unlock the bootloader when I want to install CWM and flash to different ROM's (other than stock)?

Diff btw GNex toolkit 5.7 and Root toolkit 1.3?

Hi,

I just wanted to root my phone (Verizon GNex) so i could install superuser setcpu like softwares. Don't want to install custom ROMs.

I ran Toolkit v1.3 and followed all instructions and ran CWM, I also installed ROM manager and Ran "Flash Recovery" and than did "Backup current ROM".

Now my question is:

What does ClockWorkMod do?

What's the significance of Flash recovery and Backing up a rom in ROM manager?

What's the Diff btw GNex toolkit 5.7 and Root toolkit 1.3 on this thread?

Will i be able to return phone to stock settings using Root Toolkit 1.3 if i need to use warranty?

what is CyanogenMod and is it related to ClockWorkMod?

I know these are simple questions but this was first time doing this.

Thanks a lot guys :)
