You don't need to be soff to flash a custom rom. The wifi problem is only for son users because they aren't able to flash a unsigned boot image from recovery. Flashing the boot image from the zip using fastboot would fix it. This does not belong here so don't post things about this again please. Reading helps mate

Ok, so I put my ROM on the SD card and run: fastboot boot cwm-4.0.1.4-shooteru.img. Then I wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and install ROM and I am all set to go?

Sorry for all the noobiness and thanks for putting up with me :D

[HTC EVO 3D] Tuoni:
Well I have a problem. My CID is HTC_001, and I've tried downloading the tool several times. The problem is, I can only download it through a browser and often my internet cuts out and causes problems with the download. I thought I had dowloaded it successfully, but when I extracted the files inside the zip, step1 and step3 aren't there. I watched the download complete, so it didn't cut out at the end.

Step1 is there in WinRAR but I can't extract it for some reason. This is ridiculously annoying.
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
there is only step1 and step2 lol...

I check the unbranded zip again but it should be fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] Tuoni:
No idea why I thought there was a step3. I still can't extract the step1 though...

Edit: when extracting it came up with this error message: ! Cannot execute "C:\Users\Mike\AppData\Local\Temp\Rar$EXa0.501\Free 3VO\step1.exe"
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
hm that is a problem of your computer. for me extracting works just fine.

I have just downloaded the file again, and it works. seems like u have a md5 missmatch
[HTC EVO 3D] Tuoni:
Copied the zip over to another PC and unzipped it on that. Worked, and I'll be reinstalling Windows 7 on my desktop tonight... Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
reinstall winrar or install 7zip should work :P
[HTC EVO 3D] Tuoni:
Had a problem with opening zips with windows explorer too, and my pc has been running slow recently anyway :P

Tried this all on another pc but it didn't work, so I think it hasn't been downloaded properly for whatever reason. Will keep trying.
[HTC EVO 3D] olysmen:
For changing the rom you need to unlock the bootloader. Do it at htcdev.com

For changing the kernel at the same time with the rom from recovery (when a rom comes with kernel) you need to be s-off.

If you install a rom that comes with modified kernel, from recovery without being s-off the kernel won`t install and your phone will be blocked in a bootloop. (won`t start)

So, if you want to install a kernel if you are s-on you need to do it from fastboot command or you can do it with a program named flash image gui, but you need to be root.

So, i recommand you to do this:

First, unlock your bootloader

Second, do s-off and in the same revolucionary program install recovery cwm

Third, install a custom rom with a modified kernel.
[HTC EVO 3D] m0stwant3d:
so basically s-off gives you to flash rom and kernal without any problems right? some people got s-on and flash roms and kernal through flash image gui, what is the difference if it doing the same thing,

sorry im a noob at rooting gaining some knowlegde
[HTC EVO 3D] olysmen:
The difference is you need to be root and you need to flash the kernel with flash image gui before installing the rom, or you just can install a rom that comes with stock kernel.

Worked perfect! Now my Evo is S-OFF, thanks!

Just one question, why does the update process with exe3 stop before it finishes and you have to pull the batery out?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
that's a good question, that I cannot answer. Something seems to fail at the very very end... normally It should finish the green progress bar and then reboot :P
[HTC EVO 3D] m0stwant3d:
Hey I downloaded the tool from the link you provided, there is no step1 & step3, unless you have change it. Do I still continue the process with only step2?
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
which one did you download? there should be step1 + step2 lol :D

I checked the unbranded Version 2 days ago and it was just fine so should be yours ... if it is not the vodap version
[HTC EVO 3D] m0stwant3d:
Definitely the unbranded version, I read instruction carefully mate, thanx anyway

i have read all the in this thread...

i see people have successfully downgrade their hboot 1.49.0011 cid_044 to hboot 1.49.0007 cid_001...

flashmaniac, can u conform that this downgrade tool working for cid_044?

if so,can u show us step by step to do it properly...

thx...by the way i am sorry for my bad english...
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
I think there is none.

but you can try:

downloading my tool

unzip on desktop

rename < rom.zip > to < PG86IMG.zip >. without < > of course ;)

put it on sd.

start step 1.exe

when done don't start step2.exe

open command promt (cmd)

cd desktop/free3vo

adb reboot-bootloader

wait til it has finished booting into bootloader

then change cid

fastboot oem writecid HTC__001

do that twice! do not reboot.

then lock bootloader

fastboot oem lock

when finished relocking: choose on your evo 3d screen "bootloader" and press power... it will now parse the update but I don't know if it is working or not.

[HTC EVO 3D] manemzjum:
Hi i haven't got my evo yet is due to be delivered today but just reading up on how to root and s-off

on here you say first steps are

What you already had to do:

Unlock your device at www.htcdev.com

Flash a custom ROM i.e. LeeDroiD

Download the "Tool"

But on leeDroiD thread

It states that S-Off & a Custom recovery required before flashing

Now as far as i am aware htc dev only unlocks the bootloader and does not give full s-off access
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
obviously. this one is just for downgrading - no s-off.

But you can flash the rom, but wifi wont work afterwards.

just need to flash custom recovery and flash the rom as usual.
[HTC EVO 3D] manemzjum:
But your instructions say to unlock vic htc dev and install leedroid

but leedroid requires s-off prior to flashing the rom is what i was meaning
[HTC EVO 3D] Flashmaniac:
no, leedroid does not need soff.

the only thing what needs soff is the kernel.

but u can flash it via fastboot on anytime. Sadly kernels cannot be installed through recovery
[HTC EVO 3D] manemzjum:
Thanks for clearing that up i appreciate the assistance
[HTC EVO 3D] devilzeye793:

It's not going to fly. It's a publicity stunt, based around an ironic company. The same company that uses competition and capitalism to exploit workers around the world to build it's products cheaply (Apple), refuses to abide by capitalism when it finally faces some competition (Apple again).

They have no case, regardless of what a legal expert says. The United States hardly, hardly ever bans the sale of any product, even if there is a pending case against patent infringements. Remember the multi-touch cases? Unless Google literally stole the product from Apple, it won't fly. Besides, knowing this case was still going on, why would anyone continue to manufacture a product that couldn't be sold?

Not really. Even if Samsung are selling more units than Apple at the moment (which I somewhat doubt), their profits are nowhere near.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
Using search you could have found all the stuff.

Steps on how to do it:

1. Check what the ROM needs (kernel, baseband).

2. Download the stuff you need and put the ROM files on the SD card.

2. If another baseband is needed, flash it with FlashTool

3. Now flash the needed custom kernel using fastboot

4. With most of the custom kernels you get recovery

5. Boot into recovery by pressing the back button during boot.

6. Wipe cache and dalvik cache

7. Flash the ROM via install cutom zip

8. Enjoy the ROM

:( Hello, I just got my new 7.7 few days ago and feel very happy with it..... however I found that a burn in of task bar appears on the screen....... it's extremely annoying ....is there anyway to fix this issue.....?

:mad: very disappointed at samsung's product quality....

this is completely preventable if we can hide task bar when we are surfing web or playing games.........
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
I've seen a few users post that they already have a screen burn in. Nothing much can be done as its all about luck of the draw.

IIRC, it was ezynow and randomgent who posted that they've gotten burn-in's already.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
Burn-in is just an un-avoidable property of OLED in general.

Having said that, your mileage may vary, obviously. I have had mine running at 100% since I got it a month ago, and thus far I still haven't had any issues.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
What bothers me more is the random life span, yours is at 100% over a month and someone just got it in days/weeks of usage. Then again thats what the 1-2year of warranty is for.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] psuusr:
I don't think your screen-burn is permanent one.

Yes, OLED cannot stay away from burn,

but just a month or so after it hit the market.

If yours is not so serious, it can be fix by this.

1. Save the following white picture.

hassou.up.seesaa.net/image/white.jpg

(i cannot post outside link. please copy and paste)

2. Install HideBar or HoneyBar and you can hide system bar.

Display the white picture as fullscreen.

3. Wait for 1hour.

(of course you shoud turn off "auto screen-off feature"

for example, install KeepScreen from market)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Im not sure if displaying a white image over 1hr is beneficial, its like degrading the OLED cells at full blast for 1hr.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] psuusr:
You are right about degrading.

This is like "white wash" feature of some plasma displays.

It will consume a little lifespan of the screen,

but it is effective to remove image retention.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] DaveC1964:
The problem is that you are burning the whole screen which will just shift the colors of the whole thing to yellow and you will burn the task bar area at the same time. All that will do is make the whole screen dimmer/yellow together including the task bar area.

The only way that will work is to display a white screen EXCEPT where the task bar is so it evens out more.

If Samsung was smart and would use a more OLED friendly color like yellow or green for the icons and set the gray to black there would be no issue.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] psuusr:
I am sorry about my lack of explanation.

First, I thought this was "image retention", not "burn-in".

These are quotes from samsungplasmatvfaq.com.

----

Like burn-in, image retention is the phenomenon of being able to see what was on the screen just prior to turning off the unit. Image retention eventually goes away and has no effect on the display. However, it may indicate your contrast and brightness are set too high.

True burn-in may stay on the screen forever and never disappear.

----

I sometimes notice image retention on my p6810,

like what was left of task bar or software keyboard or something.

Exactly the same as first post's screen shot.

But those are eventually removed and for now,

there is no noticeable burn-in on my tablet.

If hungelt8's case is image retention like mine,

it can be fix with my "white wash".

It may not take 1hour, good to check out between times.

Unfortunately, if it is real burn-in, my procedure won't be a solution.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] joseph168:
Mine is the same as yours. It become normal now for this issue. Be happy with your tab
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] hungelt8:
