Same situation for me. Then I got the xNT which sealed the deal, because there isn't a better solution yet.
[NFC Hacking] MathewBrack:
How are you finding yours? I've had mine a few months ago and still grin whenever I unlock my phone (I must look insane)

I've requested a sub forum be opened for implants and biohacking, but in the mean time, I started a thread for us

Well, I'm writing this thread because I happily have a root method that doesn't require HTC unlock and you can downgrade to 2.2. Let's get into the information about it:

Required:

ADB

PG06IMG.zip {Downgraded version}

misc.img * {md5sum = c88dd947eb3b36eec90503a3525ae0de}

tacoroot *

*included in zip file

Instructions:

Alright, for this you will need to run the following commands:

adb push tacoroot.sh /data/local/tmp/taco
adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/taco
adb shell sh /data/local/tmp/taco --setup
[COLOR="Red"]YOU NEED TO Hit Vol up + Vol Down + Power all at once after it goes into recovery![/COLOR]

After it reboots type:

adb shell sh /data/local/tmp/taco --root

and then you use

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

Pull your battery after you check the md5sum of the img by using adb shell md5sum /dev/block/mmcblk0p17

and then reboot into hboot to downgrade

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] obe1kobe:
I honestly have a extra shift but have been trying to sell it times are tough at the moment, thing is less then 6 months old and doesn't even get used back in the box mint...

Just don't think I'm comin off as a ****, if I could donate bro I define would just can't afford to...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Quetzalcoatl:
Im considering reporting my current shift lost and sending it to you.

but after I get money to pay for a replacement lol :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Indirect:
guys, look on the bright side: If I have a donated shift, I can also try to develop a root for the rom instead of having to downgrade. I already have some ideas but I need to test on latest version. :|
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] kcrudup:
Thanks for this! I was able to use the temp root to "adb pull" the entirety of the (kernel visible) flash, as well as the /boot, /system, WiMax, and /data partitions (after remounting r/o). Because of that, after I'd downgraded (which seems really unnecessary JUST to get to a flashable HBoot, but that's another topic), I was able to flash back the new radios and touchscreen firmware (as seen in another thread), then flash the CWM recovery, which let me reflash /system and /data from my previously-unlocked Shift (and Nandroid that for future use, as well). After modifying the stock 2.3.4 /boot to set ro.secure to "0" then flashing that with fastboot, then pushing Superuser.apk and the "su" binary, I was exactly back to where I was before (which was VERY important to me, I didn't want to have to start over from a clean wipe), except now I have root- so I was able to use TiBu to move stuff that was ordinarily marked "Phone Only" to the SD-Card, freeing up some space (which along with how slow this phone is and how little memory it's got are my major gripes with the Shift).

(TL;DR: I now have root and didn't lose anything I had before I started).

It's nice to have the TiBu and Nandroids, too- despite the glowing reviews I read here, I seriously dislike this handset, but I hear there's ROMs out there that make this thing usable. So, now I get to try 'em, and always go back if they're no better after all.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hellot1M:
I have flashed several roms, radios, and kernels to this phone and none of them will roam. Not even stock out of the box. I also have a photon and I can be in a location with little to no sprint service and the photon will roam on cdma with full bars but the epic touch wont leave sprint to roam. Db never makes it above -100. I don't even know where to begin. I have tried forcing roam, but nothing. I have went through all the settings for network and mobile data/voice every option I could think of and the phone is still stuck on sprint
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ezsoulja:
I agree.. Ive also tried the same.. Roam control is a joke to me ..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
So you both have attempted to use Roam Control but to no avail. What is it exactly about Roam Control that isn't working for you two?

Sent from my ePiC4gT
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ezsoulja:
For me whenever roaming control is on, it never really activates roaming and if it does the signal still is bad when the person next to me on verizon and or tmobile has all 5 bars.. So either roam control doesnt turn on fully or it doesnt want to connect to better outside network towers ?? :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dgn_sandibalz:
roam control doesn't work in all areas with Sammy phones. Frequency for roaming is different. Roam control site explains it better than me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Btw roam control dies work. The problem is the prl. If you are using a normal pro it will only roam on 1x. You need a business prl like from korey's thread.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
Also, Sprint prl's will use VZW for roaming as a last resort.

Download Net Monitor and check to see who you are actually roaming on.

What PRL and what location are you at?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Also the pirated versions don't work ...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Yep, that is the problem that I see most people having. They download a pirated copy of the app and wonder why its not working. The developer has implemented something to disable the roaming function with pirated versions. To use Roam Control to its full potential, either buy the app or go on a hunt for version 1.4.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ScubaSteev:
I have the same problem.....p***es Me off,but im trying different modems,hopefully I get better signal or I might just try flashing my phone to boost or cellcom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ja5oN:
Are you sure that you are actually switching over to roaming? Do you see a small triangle next to the signal bars.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] R1ptide:
First off, your never going to roam on T-mobile since they're GSM.

Samsung phones have a "bug" where they cannot roam on the cellular band; they will only roam on the PCS band. Your friend on Verizon is probably connected to a strong cellular band signal and when you force roam your connecting to a crappy PCS signal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hellot1M:
I have a paid version of the app. On my photon which is a sprint phone will roam perfect. Tested the app on that phone and it made no difference, the phone already roams like its supposed to. Same house the epic touch won't leave sprints network. I can barely hold one bar with every roam setting in thx phone turned on. I installed roam control again from the market onto this phone and even the app can't get it to roam. Still 3G at one or no bars on sprint network. Also what are these prls I keep reading about on all these roms. I know I could search the forums and find an explanation on what they are how to change and whatnot but are these codes that important? And would that effect the phones roaming and signal strength? Because even with the photon not roaming and using sprints network I can hold a steady 2 or more bars but with a sucky data speed
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jamesey:
I'm in the same boat when in a dead zone it's a crap shoot whether the phone will roam or not
[HTC EVO 3D] miHah:
As i have contacted HTC today about DesireHD/Evo3D update to ICS, i recieved information that we will get update in few weeks with android 4.0.3 and htc sense 3.6.

Do you think it will happen?

I was absolutely surprised :-D

Check the picture!
[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
How many is a 'coming few weeks"
[HTC EVO 3D] miHah:
I'd say about 1-3 :-)

Anything else would make it a month already :-P
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
Could be anything from a day to a couple of months.
[HTC EVO 3D] timezone12:
mmm 7 days in a week 4 weeks in a month 52 weeks in a year so htc told you nothing lol sorry
[HTC EVO 3D] XandroidX:
Was excited for a moment! Please remove the "official" not trying to be a jerk, but same as others have stated its not official until there is a public statement from HTC or some type of leaked official document, some service reps just tell people what they want to hear...I know, I am a customer service rep for a diffrent company...
[HTC EVO 3D] Emerl:
Haha, yea but hopefully htc will pull something out for us...

I bet it's for the GSM Evo 3D users... Desire HD is a GSM device...

All good tho, this will help for us CDMA users! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Rage1ofakind:
So glad I received an unlocked GSM version of the EVO 3D. Don't want any delays, when it hits, IT HITS!

Hopefully we receive it before the 15th of April
[HTC EVO 3D] mike.r.olson:
"Coming few weeks". I still think Summer. CM9/MIUI 4 will be a daily driver with camera before the official ICS drops.
[HTC EVO 3D] Emerl:
True, ha...especially with our great devs ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Coming weeks = minimum 20 weeks :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] tvsamson:

[HTC EVO 3D] z50king:
Maybe they can include an optional hboot 1.4 with the update?

No thanks for htc from me ....
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
Custom ROM then
[HTC EVO 3D] z50king:
Wat? Custom roms don't come with hboot 1.4
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
Custom roms don't come with a hboot. At least none I have seen
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
They sent me a response in Twitter saying it'll "Sooner rather than later"
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
I'm happy when it will be there. But until then I just live with sense 3.5, that is the best almost 99% complete feature rom for our Evo 3D.

U guess as soon its there we will start seeing an topic and news.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Nah its later. They lied to you.
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
Oh, I'm sure.
[HTC EVO 3D] a5ehren:
There won't be camera until they get a leak or something with a working ICS camera driver. Then they'll probably have to write a wrapper to make it work with the AOSP stuff.
[HTC EVO 3D] mike.r.olson:
That's what everybody said when talking about WiMAX support in CM7 on the OG...
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Hboot means nothing now...u seen the downgrade process in the dev section?...
[HTC EVO 3D] z50king:
Yeah I am not blind. I want htc to offer it though
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
HTC just announced on their Facebook page that the HTC Vivid is getting ICS starting today...

https://www.facebook.com/HTC?sk=wall&filter=2
[HTC EVO 3D] tomcat420m:
I am seriously getting tired of HTC, & Sprint. We are ALWAYS the LAST to get a update. I don't believe it's going to come in a few Weeks. That was originally said around November of last year, now just shy if 6 months later. probably won't get released till jellybean is released. At least till our new lineup in June.
[HTC EVO 3D] a5ehren:
There was like a $1000 bounty on that though. Don't think anything like that is going to happen for camera support.
[HTC EVO 3D] gilbydakid:
Didn't htc design 1.5 the way they did on purpose? That would be rather counter productive in their eyes, don't you think?

S3nt from my 3D wond3rland
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Not true the 4G got its update to froyo fast right after launch if i remember correctly...was one of the first to have it...
[HTC EVO 3D] bmtdan:
Jellybean official after sometime in quarter 3 or 4!
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
I don't know why anyone mentions or compares the ICS update to JellyBean. JellyBean is for tablets, so it won't apply to us anyways. Now, if a tablet was still running Gingerbread, and wasn't expected to get HoneyComb until a month or two before JB, then I'm sure it would be a valid argument. But it's not worth making comparison on the EVO 3D getting ICS.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
This is an assumption here...no one knows wtf jellybean is going to be for sure. Just a bunch of speculation at this point.

ICS purpose was to bring both tablets and phones together under one OS...having jellybean for tablets only would be a backtrack of all their previous comments and work with ICS...
[HTC EVO 3D] mthii:
HTC releases skinned ICS before nexus s gets ICS period, I see that as a positive. How many OEMs have released ICS in the US so far? Still, I see your point. Sprint is so predictable. I wish the EVO got its update now but I bet it won't come until the Jet/EvoX/OneX whatever is announced April 4th. I'd be shocked if it arrived before Sprint sells the next HTC phone

Edit: who am I kidding, it ain't coming to the 3D til July/August...
[HTC EVO 3D] bmtdan:
It was just some funny sarcasm. Lol just making some fun
[HTC EVO 3D] manemzjum:
I'll believe it when I see it

They tell you a few weeks as that's the magic answer that will make you go away and stop asking
[HTC EVO 3D] dfin13:
Not sure Sprint considers the 3D its flagship phone like the Evo 4G was, so they're in no rush.
[HTC EVO 3D] CrippleB:
Not True my wife just got her update to Gingerbread on her Samsung in Nov 2011. I would say that would be close to last to get the update.
[HTC EVO 3D] dlads:
"We Expect to ...."

Famous last words my friend, chances are, the sensation group will get the update and then we'll get it a little later, probably with the DHD, incredible S etc.

The evo 3d has been nudged down the trough quite a bit and i'm thinking HTC will release it quite a bit later than "We expect" anyway.
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
who knows... Maybe taking longer means a whole new 3d experience or just maybe they just want as few bugs as possible. My friend said they had to start over a few times to get everything they needed to work perfectly on a base level
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
If it goes backwards by release date.... Newest first you would think we would have it around the same time as sensation... Oh well
[HTC EVO 3D] dangerruss:
Latest rumor is April 8th for ics. There have been reports about sprint employees running an early version but these are all rumors as of this moment.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
link?

Also if employees were running early version then one would think we would have a leak by now, no?...
[HTC EVO 3D] dangerruss:
I saw it on htc's Facebook page not posted by HTC.. Like I said this is just rumors there is nothing credible atm.
[HTC EVO 3D] nate.spangler:
I haven't heard anything but I'm also at a preferred store, not one of those pesky corporate stores...
[HTC EVO 3D] blazerboy567:
There would be a leak if sprint employees had an early version. I talk to the local tech team in fort worth tx all the time they don't have clue. I have like three ctm tickets opened for tower data cap issues they all know me by heart when i call.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
ahh yeah I saw the comment about the Rezound leaks and honestly its kinda sad that we are still waiting on this....least no leaks yet...given the Rezound was out well after us so they technically should get it before us or at same time....
[HTC EVO 3D] z50king:
Bs
[HTC EVO 3D] xHausx:
HTC is pretty anal about patching security holes, so I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they are sitting on the update until they can figure out a way to block people from downgrading. Especially since the Sensation and Evo are so similar and theirs was already being pushed when it was figured out.

Odds are the GSM version will be first out the gate with ICS so I wouldn't worry to much about Sprint till afterward
[HTC EVO 3D] dante7551:
In Singapore the Sensation just got the ICS Update with few bugs

but the EVO 3D no update at all!!
[HTC EVO 3D] NeoDJW:
sensation got ICS in croatia too !
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
I hope we get 4.0.4 :p
[HTC EVO 3D] saltorio:
Can't wait for the official EVO 3D ICS to be released...

So that devs can hack out the camera and make the various ROMs (like Virtuous Inquisition) fully functional! :D
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Why 4.0.4 and not 4.0.5?
[HTC EVO 3D] eXplicit815:
**** it, let's just go for broke and wait for 4.1 to be released... THEN we'll get a build for the EVO 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] laputa38:
me too....
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
4.0.4 is actually out :)
[HTC EVO 3D] khmervision:
this reminds me of what happened last year with evo 4g update to gingerbread, htc didn't come out with the update till near the launch of evo 3d so I'm guessing maybe around may for ics
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Ah ok I thought 4.0.5 was the latest.... My mistake :-)
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
AT&T just announced their timeline of ICS updates... HTC Sensation, which is closest to Evo 3D, won't receive update until June. The ICS update for the Sensation overseas is already pushing for some too, isn't it? And T-Mobile's Sensation ICS got delayed too. Just losing confidence here...
[HTC EVO 3D] Casual92:
hahahah ^^

+1
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Where did ATT say this at?....
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:

[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
They obviously are going to release it in some kind of order of devices were released, so those just purchased recently don't wait longer than older devices...like how the evo4g got froyo before anyone almost...the sensation has to be one of the most popular world wide so i think that's how that jumps ahead some others...
[HTC EVO 3D] z50king:
I just got notification for OTA updates. I am rooted though, should I take it?

Just kidding

But seriously, do we know if they are giving us a new boot loader or other security fixes so we can't downgrade?
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
Probably, but no one outside HTC can confirm yet
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
Yup. It's my only Android device not running ICS, and my primary one too :P

As said... Sensation has bigger popularity,.flagship phone, so it seems to get more attention... I keep hoping Evo3D must be next....

[HTC EVO 3D] egzthunder1:
I got a message from a contact at HTC saying that there will be lots of very happy Sprint customers this week. My guess is that either

a. Sprint is announcing the One X/S/XL/ etc soon

b. Are ready to release the ICS update.

Considering how my conversation with him was going, I am leaning towards "b".

RE: Bootloader... just flash to ENG to be on the safe side as that cannot be upgraded I think, nor can the S-OFF flag be removed while on ENG.
[HTC EVO 3D] bloodrain954:
Your contact didn't give you very good details, everyone and their mother knows HTC and sprint have an announcement this week. Obviously announcing the new phone, they will never have a conference to say oh hey here's your updates for your old out dated phones

iPhone > *
[HTC EVO 3D] egzthunder1:
At what point in my post did I mention anything about a press release/conference? I am just sharing something that was told to me, so unless you have something else that is remotely useful/relevant to the topic of this thread, please do not make posts like these. They add nothing to the discussion.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Well one thing you can be sure of, we definately won't see any official ICS until the One X (sprint version) is released into the wild.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
So at the time when the EVO 3D gets very little info leak wise or inside info about anything HTC/Sprint related, you decide to drop in and just bash the ONE person trying to spread what he was told?......

Dont go kicking the gift horse in the mouth b/c your frustrated with HTC and/or Sprint.

Everyone else more than welcomes the info being shared!!! Whether it is good intel or not is not the point really. The point is hes willing to share what he has herd from his trusted source. This isn't some BS source, so dont go complaining to the ONE person willing to share what they have herd...
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
Why not? At&t released it for the vivid, tmobile was going to till they sent it back to HTC, and rumor has it on Google that Verizon is releasing it this week. Where is Sprint though is a very good question indeed.
[HTC EVO 3D] swaze:
Why not?? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. People will upgrade to the One X for alot of reasons, and wanting to have an official ICS is one of them.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Tell that to ATT then as your reasoning is flawed in that regards...Why would they release the Vivid update knowing the OneXL is coming soon?.....
[HTC EVO 3D] t4d73:
I see ur point but wouldn't all the other carriers that already released it feel the same way? Would look pretty selfish for Sprint to be the one to hold out. And I personally don't think the one x is even that's great! 1.5 vs 1.2 dual-core isn't enough difference for me. And non-removable battery is probably the biggest reason I wouldn't want one! I like the replaceable ones especially how u can get the wall charger with 2 batteries for under 20 on amazon.com!
