Ok cool I'm going to lunch then I have class, I'll try to release mine by the weekend, It shouldn't be buggy at all (any more than stock) conflicting scripts/build edit's are the leading cause for bug's and can also effect boot time. I bought mine used and every once and a while my screen becomes unresponsive, and I have to lock/unlock phone but that's the only bug I have at this point. Haven't done enough reading to see if others have this issue, but it does it on ANY Rom. If it is a known issue I'll see if I can look into it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] d3xtro.:
Just throwing it out there, I've had the screen unresponsiveness to where I would lock and unlock the phone too. I haven't had the problem so much lately, but it happens.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Dr.Gonz0:
Have the same issue with mine, and the guy who sold it to me bought his brand new and had the same problem. Partr of the reason why he was selling it... I think Samsung simply dropped the ball on this product.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] newbieandroid:
Can you add an extended power menu to this rom? That would be awesome!

Almost all the SideKick 4G Roms/Themes/Tweaks links are all down. Why couldn't Samsung just make getting into Download mode easy like the Epic 4G which is the Number 1 on the Keyboard + Power button.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] WolfV2:
It is easy, just turn it on by holding the power button + the track pad. Works like a charm for me...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ultraprimeomega:
Still running great, hope new version comes out or new themes
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Jax184:
Mine's holding up nicely as well. KD1 was running sluggishly by now, but B2TB is still pretty smooth. I'm especially impressed that it remains functional if I let it go for a week without restarting. Under stock KD1 I was restarting every other day to keep it tolerable.

It would be nice to see another update to tide us over while we watch the CM7 progress.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] The Pope of Dope:
Is it just me, or does autorotate not work?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] WolfV2:
Yeah that's a known bug for the lockscreen

EDIT (thought this was GOV2 thread lol): maybe autoratate is disabled?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] The Pope of Dope:
Nope. Its definitely enabled...

Hello

I have a simple question, now i am on JVU (ODEX) with value pack, semaphore 2.5.0, ext4 and some various mods. What is the flashing procedure...copy to sdcard than wipe cache, dalvic cache, factory reset...than install from sdcad??? Please give me som instructions. :D I'm new in subject. I LOVE your ROM, and i think it's PERFECT!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batahulu:
Hi,

first make a backup

, download the zip.

Copy the zip file in the internal SD (SD internal phone, not the removable SD card).

Restart the phone in recovery mode CWM.

disable ext4

Select "install from sdcard zip."

Select "choose zip sdcard".

Locate and select the downloaded zip file.

Then restart the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghul21:
Ok. But can i flash it with my ROM??? It is not an issue??? Thx for quick respond ;) There will be no problem that i am on ODEX??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batahulu:
No, no problem

but do not forget to do the backup

if you did not Titanium Backup installs to save your apps (before flashing)

take the version no wipe

If this is your first flash ... take a maximum of precautions
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghul21:
THX. And that is not my first flash. But first on rom without ODIN.(CMW) :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batahulu:

[EVO 4G General] Diablo67:
Dude,this is great for those who have the new version of Hboot.Good looking out.
[EVO 4G General] tropicalbrit:
This is great, man.

There is a way to get S-Off with this frightful HBOOT, however :eek:

I suggest you check here on the MikMik. The great part is that you is that you achieve S-Off with Unrevoked, so you have a permanent S-Off compared to Revolutionary's!
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
Nice guide, but you should really encourage flashing of RA recovery instead of CWM. It's just way more reliable on the EVO 4G.
[EVO 4G General] Steek34:
So will this work for the updated 2.3.5 android??
[EVO 4G General] DB13:
This is how you root the updated 2.3.5
[EVO 4G General] geekagent809:
Is working for me

After several hours searching on the Net for Root update 2.3.5. And trying any possible recomendations.

This one really work for me.

Thanks XDADev and THC Butterz to make it possible.

+100

Most the issues I've seen on this forum over the last year were solved by switching to AmonRa recovery. Let's get people started with a leg up. ;)

Good guide.

Hanging on parse

I used

Unlocking EVO 4G via HTCDEV.mp4 on youtube.com via Thedoctadro

I'll try to keep this brief,

I too had spent many hours trying to find the most up to date and seemingly easiest way to begin rooting my hboot 2.18.

I had updated my phone and then read a post about how the evo has been exempt from the Ice Cream Sandwich update.

The video told me to download the htc supertools file. I did not use the tools specified in dev, but still followed the same procedure.

File found here on goo inside .me - htcsupertoolv3.rar

It was on a wiki site with all the listings for the supertools and I chose the latest one that was available.

It is unlocked but when it scans my pc36img, it hangs.

I've read about formatting the sd card and putting another pc36img on and then reinstalling but unsure as to where to find the right one. My phone is fully updated with current updates. Any help would be appreciated if there is any to give seeing as how early into development this process is.

Sidenote: I didn't use the software on the dev instructions because I wanted to follow to a T exactly the instructions in the video. Thanks again.
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
If you're unlocked using the HTCDev method, you should be using a custom recovery to flash updates, not the bootloader method. The bootloader method will only work if specific criteria are met, since your device is still "S-ON". Do you have a custom recovery (RA-supersonic, preferably) installed?
[EVO 4G General] pendelum:
Re: Hangs on parse.

Thanks! The instructions were to unlock the hboot, and then after the reboot, flash a custom recovery but because it's hanging, I can't get into fastboot usb to flash the custom recovery. Hind sight, I should have waited till there was a full walk through with links to the files needed for the rooting process and only trusted these forums. About a year ago, I rooted an old evo I had through these forums and these are the only ones I will trust. Any help would be much appreciated.
[EVO 4G General] vulcan001:
I got thru this one. Ive rooted using the revolutionary method & done it this way. Good tutorial, helps out those who dont know how to root with this ota update.
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
If you can confirm your bootloader says you're unlocked, you can try removing whatever PC36IMG.zip file you have on your sd card, and put the one I'm attaching to this post there instead. It should get picked up by the bootloader. It's for RA-supersonic v2.3.
[EVO 4G General] pendelum:
A big thanks again. Worked like a charm. Love this site.
[EVO 4G General] THC Butterz:
yah, i updated the op today and added some more info
[EVO 4G General] Steek34:
Oh perfect...this is my first time rooting my phone so im trying to take in all the information i can.
[EVO 4G General] Kill3rmonk:
Worked like a charm, thanks a bunch!

Also, I had a bad NAND recently and was not able to update via Revolutionary. This worked.
[EVO 4G General] hammer38:
A sort of simple ?

If I choose to only to do the unlock bootloader with custom recovery but leave it at s-on, I understand that there is a way that I can still flash rom's to the the Evo......however I want to know if I would still be able to use any streamlines apps anymore such as Boot Manager or Boot Loader? say if I still want to have like 5 different Rom's on my Sd card how can I switch between them?

Thanks a ton captain. For some reason the file in the op worked at home, but I did end up using the one you posted here. I am now reading

***UNLOCKED***

SUERSONIC EV2T-3 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT 2.18.0001

Tomorrow I will read some more and try to accomplish S-OFF

Thanks a ton!!

For those having problems, take the time read, read, read and pay attetntion to detail. I didnt even know what the bootloader was before today, and I made it through. Thanks to the OP for the excellent written guide. Hopefully S-OFF will be this easy.
[EVO 4G General] P. Dexter85:
Once you've accomplish S-Off and flash ROMs, your next goal is to unroot when its time for repairs.

Stuck on step #29

I don't know if it is the pc I'm using, however I have tried to download the files in step #29 from the op and mikmik's site with no luck. Every time I try to extract the zip files I get an "invalid file warning". It is obvious that they are not downloading properly. Any help is appreciated
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
Try this ones from here (these are the original files):

flash_image.zip

mtd-eng.zip

It'd probably be a good idea to link to the above versions in the OP, since they're actually attached here in XDA and not at another forum :). Thanks to toastcfh for the original guide and files!
[EVO 4G General] Scott183:
Thanks Captain, that's twice you've saved my ass, in record time mind you!! Should I put unziped folder on the sd card or just the files in the folder? I tried putting the unziped folders in and am now getting "invalid length" error.
[EVO 4G General] Blazin Chaos:
I'm still curious as hearing what and why this error came up for me. Pretty weird that I haven't been able to receive a response. It must be an unheard of error.
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
The files should download as zip files. Open them on your computer, and drag the included file in each to the root of your sd card. I use 7-zip to extract the zips. If that's not what you're using, it could be causing your problem. I have not personally had an issue with the files, from any source. The only other place you could download them from is here: http://androidforums.com/misc.php?do=showattachments&t=488901

Those are the exact same files, though. Some people have had better success with those downloads, for some reason.

Looks like bad blocks on your misc partition. As far as I know, there's nothing you can do about that. It will prevent the ENG mtd file from flashing to your misc partition, which makes it (almost) impossible to root using this method. The only other solution I can think of would be to extract an actual copy of your misc partition while temp rooted, hex-editing the version number, and then flashing it rather than the ENG version. It should flash successfully, as it wouldn't be taking up any more space than the original IMG. But that certainly is not for a beginner, and goes outside the scope of this guide.
[EVO 4G General] Blazin Chaos:
Thanks Cap! I've made moves to have the phone replaced, but I wanted to know if it was something I had done to cause this problem. I've rooted three other phones, but this was the first time that I had a phone with a Hboot of 2.18 and had the need to try this method and came up unsuccessful. It kinda puzzled me.
[EVO 4G General] tazlooney89:
After a while I managed to make the s-off and root the phone, but now I have a question, if I give softwar update I get an update, the download completes without errors, but when installing it remains on a black screen with symbol of admiration and a blue android, and if you stay for hours, until I reboot the phone and when you start telling me that there is an update, ie not applying the update, any recommendation on how to make the mobile is updated.
[EVO 4G General] Scott183:
So I placed the individual files on the sd card, ran the shell commands with no errors, installed the PC361IMG (one of the one that was posted in place of the OP), rebooted the phone and watched it unzip the img), when it was done it asked me if I wanted to update now (I said no), and then removed the PC361IMG zip file. I am now showing LOCKED OOW, and android version still read 2.35 Where did I screw up?
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
I extracted the misc image from my device, and it's a different size than the ENG image, so it's possible that's where the problem is. You can try mine, if you want, and see it that'll flash. I'll attach it here.

You'll have to extract the zip, copy the misc.img over to the root of the sd, and run the first two commands. For the third command, you'll have to modify it to:

/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/[B]misc.img[/B]

Let me know if that works for you. It could be a matter of the block size causing the issue, but I'm not really sure.

Why did you say No? You need to say yes so the HBOOT gets downgraded and you can root with unrEVOked.
[EVO 4G General] Scott183:
Cause I'm a dumb NOOB!! Thanks for your patience. I used the fille you posted at post #117. I'm assuming I need to start from the beginning again? If so do I need to get a new binary code from HTC DEv, or can I reuse the one they already sent me?
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
No, just put the file back on the card, and go back into HBOOT. This time, say yes when it asks you to update. Then, you can move on.
[EVO 4G General] Scott183:
I already did that, while I was witing on a response. File is loading now. Watching it update now. You are the man, and thanks a TON for your patience!! Ok I am now back to froyo 2.2. Watermark is gone, boot loader shows 2.10. Next task is root with?? REV?? IDK. BTW Do I need to reinstall superuser, busy box? I also lost my Titanum Backup of course, so don't knwo where all my stuff is. I got some more reading to do. Making progress!!
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
Time to root with unrEVOked!
[EVO 4G General] Scott183:
We have ROOT!! Unrevoked3 was a dream!! Restoring my Titanium Backup now, and then off to install a custom ROM, not sure which one yet. Thanks aton to Captain Throwback, I would have been stuck without your help. Even though I'm a newbie, I van only suggest that the files in the op, be replaced with updated ones that were posted. It would probably save bandwidht from questions like mine. Thanks to XDA and all the contributors. I need to hang around this place more!
[EVO 4G General] Blazin Chaos:
Well, the phone has really been acting crazy ever since I tried to root it! Now, it will only charge if you turn the phone off, plug the cord in, and then turn the phone on while it's plugged in. If the phone is on and you plug it in, it won't charge. I've tried multiple cords and they all act the same. Also, I can't access the sd card anymore either. I put in a new card that my friend just bought and it didn't even recognize it.

I think the phone was possibly on it's way out, but either way, my friend has another one coming in a couple of days and then I'll try this method again. Right now, I don't have access to her phone so I'll have to wait till further notice. I just don't want to run into the same problem again and hope that it was just a glitch in that one particular phone.

Thanks again and I'll keep you posted when the new phone arrives.
[EVO 4G General] tazlooney89:
and I have the hboot s-off, it was with the method of revolutionary, the android phone stick with 2.3.3 and an update from htc software update tells me there's an update available that is 4.53.651.1, but when properly discharged restarts the mobile to begin the update stays on the screen displaying the image and there you are not advancing, I can help solve this problem, the phone is clear that even without root
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
You can't install an OTA with a custom recovery (nor should you want to!). Just install a stock rooted ROM based on the latest OTA, and disable the check for System Updates in Settings.

I recommend this one (if your desire is to stay stock): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1506058

Otherwise, I'd flash MikG.
[EVO 4G General] MinceMan:
For F*cks Sake update the OP with this will wipe your phone!!! I thought I could get root and then do my backup but my friends sh!t is all gone... it puts me in a tough spot... Sorry I'm so upset but the OP doesn't say it nor did I notice it on HTC's site.
[EVO 4G General] TheBigDogz:
I feel you. I went through the same surprise as well. The best thing that you can do is to try to import contact in the "people" app. It will look for any contact saved to your SD card at one point or another. In my case, i was able to retrieve the contacts transferred by Sprint when I switched to my EVO 4G.

After that, back up all your contacts to your Gmail account.

Hope this helps.

Need Help!

Hey guys,

This is the first time I tried to root my phone with the unlock bootloader method. I kept on going forward with the instructions which were great to get the S-OFF to match my other Evo phone. I went as far as updating Froyo image and tried to Unrevoke. Problem is Unrevoke is now not able to load the custom recovery now and I have seemed to lost all my recovery options. It goes as far as performing the hboot USB and attempts to reboot the phone again and fails.

The froyo image doesnt have any superuser or root rights and I am kind of stuck at this point with an old Froyo image. I am also hesitant in performing an OTA update. I also tried Revolutionary but it doesnt support the 2.10 HBOOT.

Sooo..looking for other options to get either Amon_RA or CWM for recovery options - but I am thinking I have to figure out how to now root this Froyo base image. Has anyone run into this and what was done to get back on the root track. Thanks guys!

:mad::mad::mad:
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
UnrEVOked can root that Froyo ROM with no problem. Did you boot it up and enable USB Debugging before trying to use unrevoked3? Do you have all the necessary drivers installed on your PC?

Captain - all good questions. I would think it wouldve been easy yes!

I do have all the relevant drivers. I am able to still perform ADB commands and fastboot commands without any issues. I also uninstalled HTC Sync and am still having the same issue.
