AArrghhh

Ive spent 5 HOURS TRYING TO UNLOCK THIS PHONE!!!! I just got my replacement today and it was already updated to 2.17.651.5! I tried updating it to the 2.08.651.3, but it wouldn't let me! When I go to the htc unlock bootloader guide im constantly getting stuck on step 13. At the command prompt it says "remote unlock check failed". What gives? I did all of the steps right yet it wont unlock for me. Any help would be greatlly appreciated. I tried to search as many possible solutions as I can but now I am stumped. My first phone had no problem unlocking with htc's method but this phone is already giving me problems
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
You need to run xhausx's full 2.17.651.5 Ruu.zip to reload the full stock ROM then the unlock will work.

Once done flashing full zip, u may want to consider downgrading Hboot to 1.40 for s-off/full root. See Unknownforce & Closone's threads if interested & you can skip the HTC unlock.
[HTC EVO 3D] roofus3000:
Is it a long,hard process? Im not going to sleep tonight till im unlocked again lol...ill check it out anyway. Thanks for your quick response

I checked the thread out. It seems fairly easy but do I need a linux based computer using the cd? i downloaded the file it is an iso file which I cant open, but it would not play in my cd player. hmmm..suggestions?

Sorry I figured the burning cd part out..smh didnt read long enough
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Make sure u read & follow directions carefully for downgrade. Read first 3 posts in each thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] roofus3000:
Thanks for all your help and suggestions. You helped more than you know
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Glad I could help. I think Unknownforce & Closeone's threads are slowly making the HBoot1.50/Htc Unlock threads obsolete.
[HTC EVO 3D] wwjoshdew:
That's incorrect. Because some people would rather have Sprint and HTC know that they are about to void their warranty, then go through this whole process, and not have HTC or Sprint know they voided their warranty.

So is there any method of rooting that doesn't require you hooking up your phone to a computer? (broken usb port)
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Sorry for the delay, I'm not usually active during the day (3rd shift). If you haven't figured it out yet...

You would use the "Post 2. My Recovery/Root (Su) Flashing Notes" to push a recovery to your phone and then the Su app if rooting a stock rom (likely not needed b/c its included in nearly all custom roms flashed via recovery).

If you did the downgrade & ran revolutionary you should have ended up with a Revolutionary Hboot 1.40.0011 and CWM Recovery v4.0.1.4, but maybe not. Not sure about your setup (Fw/radio/etc) or what else you need to know. This other post of mine may help, here.

Juopunutbear S-Off maybe, but I don't think so (never used it). If you can get/already have s-off, TeamWin's Recovery has a PG86IMG.zip option, then you can load a rom & replace the recovery with 4ext via its app if you want that one. Otherwise, your stuck as far as I know. Sorry.
[HTC EVO 3D] inkjammer:
what if I do not have a recovery on my phone. I unlocked phone VIA HTCDev and I am running stock rom that came on phone I have only unlocked it and tried to load older RUU to try to downgrade the Hboot to 1.4 but can not get it to load... I then tried the controlbear to do wire trick to get s-off but this is what I get. I asked in another post they directed me here but here is what I am getting.

======== ControlBear 0.6 beta for JuopunutBear S-OFF ==========

Starting up......

Connecting to device...

Searching device.....

Connect device and install drivers

Press ENTER to exit.....

My PC does have drivers and phone is recognized in device manager and can see it when phone is mounted as disc drive.
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
You need to decide what you want to do: HTC Unlock with S-ON & Custom Recovery, HBoot 1.40 Downgrade with S-Off & Custom Recovery, or Jbear Hboot 1.50 with S-Off & Custom Recovery. If you go back & forth b/w the methods you are likely to permanently brick.

I haven't used Jbear for S-Off, so I can't really help you much with it (seems more likely to end up with a permanent brick, imo). If you want to use Jbear to get S-Off, you should continue to post questions in that thread. NOTE: I noticed you mentioned

If you are on SPRINT you have a CDMA "Shooter" phone not a European GSM "Shooter U" phone.

If you want to use Unknownforce/Closeone's Hboot Downgrade, you should Relock the bootloader "fastboot oem lock" then you can run the full stock Sprint 2.17 RUU first before starting the downgrade process or starting over with my HTC Unlock Guide above.
[HTC EVO 3D] inkjammer:
I tried to downgrade Hboot and worked on that for a week and never got anywhere with that so it really dont matter to me I just want the most user friendly way to get s-off so I can run custom roms.

This is what I am getting when I run controlbear.exe

Inkjammer,

I'm sorry, but I can't help you get s-off on your GSM EVO3D (per your post in other threads) because I haven't used Jbear or much about gsm versions. I can help/direct you to info on the HTC Unlock & Custom recovery for Gsm: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=24054039

Separately, you will get better help if you post your questions in one thread at a time and identify all your phone specs, hboot, fw, baseband, etc when asking. I had no idea you were GSM until I saw some of your other posts.

What on earth am I doing wrong?

I need my phone working. I would like to go back to stock for the ICS update, If not i would like a working stable Rom using ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Call2, (what a long quote !) you still having issues?

- what is your full current setup? Rom, Firmware, baseband, HTC Locked/Unlocked, S-On/OFF, Carrier, etc. Which filename/recovery are you trying to flash?

If you are at that step, you should be HTC Unlocked/S-On, and to quote myself:

I would say to stick with CWM v4.0.1.4 or 4ext Recovery. Which ever you choose, You must first "flash" the SAME recovery to the phone and then "boot" the SAME recovery on the phone with fastboot commands. Your post looks like you are switching recoveries b/w the two steps.
[HTC EVO 3D] videorick:
Please allow me to ask a noob question that I have yet to find an answer for after many searches. I recently updated my Sprint EVO 3D to ICS via the OTA update and am now at the following:

Locked

S-Off

HBoot 1.58.0000

Originally, I was on 2.08 unlocked (HTC Dev) and S-on. I decided to try the JuponutBear wire-trick process (what a pain the ars) to get S-on. After nearly bricking my phone, I ended up in the state listed above. My big problem is because the phone is "locked" I cant gain root through SU which I had before. So how do I unlock the device? I would like to do some minor additions (Beats/Sony audio etc...,Sense 4.0 etc...). I have been to the HTC-Dev site but there is no unlock for ICS. Any help is greatly Appreciated!
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Videorick,

"S-Off trumps everything" as Ramjet73 said recently. U don't need to unlock anymore.

- If u are on the full 2.89 Stock Ota and want to keep it but have root, all you have to do is.flash a recovery (make a nandroid/backup) & then the Su app/binaries. See "post 2, Flash Recovery & Su".

- If you want to go with a custom Rom (includes the Su already), then all you need is the Recovery flashed (make a nandroid) and flash one with the recovery (no need for fastboot with s-Off once recovery is installed).

Be aware hboot 1.58 won't support gb roms/kernels. U need ICS roms (2.89 based). See the hboot differences link in the op. I recommend Meanrom ICS v2.6.

Ok guys, I need help. There are too many guides, tutorials and suggested methods that I can't chose the right one.

I have a EVO 3d from sprint.

The bootloader reads....

-Revolutionary-

SHOOTER XC SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT 1.40.1100

RADIO-1.09.00.0706

eMMC-bootJun 8 2011,17:20:22

It is hardware 002 and is currently running CleanRom Ics BE, 4.0.3, sense 3.6, kernel version is 3.0.16-g4211684 htc-kernel@u18000-build144 #1

Build # is 2.89.651.2 CL409645 release-keys

PRI Version 1.43_003

PRL Version 21090

Sheeesh! Lot of info there. So what I'm getting at is I'm having issues with all ics Roms. Either I get bootloops or WiFi is intermittent. From what I've gathered I need a Ics hboot, ie, 1.58 in order to run ICS kernels the right way?? The guides I've read to upgrade the hboot to 1.58 look to be for the HTC dev unlocked folks which I am not.

What do I need to do to be current??

Is my radio current?

Is my software current?

Do I need to upgrade hboot?

Do I need to relock, ruu, then unlock again?

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!!
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
Just a sec.

You are already s-Off so no need for that again. Let's assume Meanrom 2.6 (recommended)

Firmware is not part of any Rom and It's recommended to get updated to the 2.89 Firmware to avoid issues with both the Rom and custom kernel. With S-Off, you can switch Hboots as needed, see my Hboot/S-Off Differences Thread for reasons and to get the Jbear hboot 1.58.5858

so ...

- Since you are S-Off, it looks like u have already run Virus's fw update from Virus's thread (Steps 1 & 2)? Then you would reinstall the v2.6 Rom (as recommended in MeanRom's OP).

- If you still have problems, you can run the 2.89 Ruu with s-on or S-off. If you run it s-off you will keep s-Off (run the .exe with phone in fastboot usb mode). You will have to push a recovery back afterwards, & Su zip to reroot stock before you can continue. This will guarantee a clean base to start with and will likely get u squared away.

[HTC EVO 3D] linh.n:
totally unrelated to sullivan7221, but the RUU.exe method does not care about what hboot is installed, correct? The warning about s-off->s-on security flag is purely for the RUU.zip install method? I'm 99% sure that's correct, but I tend to be paranoid about bricking my phone
[HTC EVO 3D] mpgrimm2:
You are correct that the Hboot Version doesn't matter, but keep in mind that the RUU's won't let you install a version (Mainver) earlier than what is currently installed (i'm pretty sure about this) with S-On (no warning with S-Off I think with either method).

Ramjet73 has a thread for a modified zip for S-Off users (may work for S-On, idk) that will change your MainVer to a lower number and should allow you to flash earlier Ruu's Here.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NielsGoetschalckx:
I'm a semi noob at the technical stuff, but I seem to remember that this issue can be solved by restoring the backup you have surely made of your EFS folder ;). This folder contains all the info about your carrier and such.

If you don't have a backup of your EFS folder, I cannot help you with my limited knowledge :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scubadude:
Follow these at your own risk or search the forums for a more thorough explanation.

If you have made a backup use something like root explorer to look for the EFS folder in the backup & copy the two files nv_data.bin & nv_data.bin.md5. Now go to the EFS folder on the phone & paste over these to files replacing them with your backups. You can then delete nv.log, .nv_data.bak & nv_data.bak.md5. Or that is what I did and it worked.

If you did not make a backup then you would need to flash a stock rom which usually does the trick (all three files). As your IMEI appears to be fine in v3.1 I would make a backup of 3.1 & use those files. You could also copy the two files out of the efs folder and place them in your root directory then after installing 4.2 just replace the files with the ones you copied.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidified:
Many pepole who flashed RC4.1 experienced this problem, its due to the IMEI being changed to some default value. this can be fixed if you had backed up your efs folder, if not you have to reflash the official gingerbread then copy the efs folder using ROOT EXPLORER, this will fix the corrupted IMEI issue. This issue has been fixed in RC4.2 so after you get your IMEI fixed, flash RC4.2.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoBoGrEy:
If you restored your EFS backup it should be ok...but since is happening many times...you can reflash a stock firmware and then flash again your current ROM.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fps249:
First: RC4.2 doesn't solve IMEI issue, i had it with 4.1, resotred efs, it worked, flashed 4.2, and issue again.

Second: The best way to restore /efs backup is going into /efs BACKUP (not original), multiselect every file, copy, and paste in ACTUAL /efs folder. Then reboot and that's it. If no /efs backup was ever made, the only way to solve imei loss is to go back to a stock rom (wich makes your imei come back), backup /efs from there and go ahead with ICSSGS again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yousef-SYI:
I've had the same issue. No matter how many times you re-flash the ROM and do FULL wipe, I wont change anything, because FULL wipe is not really "FULL", neither is Factory reset etc. For some reason it needs a "real-FULL-wipe" (Just something I made lol). Anyway you can do it following these steps:

1. Flash an NONE ICS based ROM, say JVU stock ROM .(Download it from Sammobile.com, go into download mode, and flash it using Odin 1.85 with 512 pit file)

(You are on a Stock JVU ROM now)

2. ROOT you JVU ROM. (Any method is fine but I prefer flashing Semphore kernel using Odin, just download the kernel from here, go into download mode, and put the kernel in PDA section and flash, no pit files needed for this).

(You are on a ROOTed Stock JVU ROM now)

3. Flash CM7 stock ROM. (Download CM7 stable version not a nightly version from their website, copy it to your INTERNAL SD Card, go into CWM and flash. If you had issues there just re-flash).

(You are on a stable version of CM7 that is already Pre-rooted)

4. Flash Onecosmic 4.2. (Download it, copy it to INTERNAL SD Card, go into CWM and flash, sometimes it gets stuck on a boot loop or on logo screen, go into CWM using the three buttons combo :Volume up button + Power + Home key. Once you're in CWM re-flash it again.

Do this and I will guarantee that it will solve ANY problem you or anyone else have with Onecosmic ICS 4.2. :)

Only problem you may encounter with the ROM is External SD card issues, which is caused by either the ROM itself or your own SD card.

A >> "thank you" would be nice :) . Have a good one.

Hello.

im not sure that is the right place to ask, i try to use the search and i did end up trying more them 13 different widgets, but none exactly the way i wanted.

I looking for a calendar widget that show me the tasks/appointments that i have for the current day.

Must show the same information that i have in my TWcalendar for the day.

Must be able to set it with transparent background

must be auto resizable (or scrollable) in number of rows depending of how much stuff there is in the current day.

the almost perfect one i found was Simple Calendar Widget

The only thing is it shows my appointment/task for the next day and not for the current day.

Is there anyway to change this, or any other widget similar to this one?

You see on this picture the current day is 18 may, but the detalis of the calendar are always for the days after... 19, 20 22... i just need the current day stuff ...
