Hmmm.... I renamed it, placed it in the root folder and Bootloader recognized it, went through the 2 or 3 minute "check" and then booted up bootloader normally. Never gave me the option of updating.

I'm S-On, but unlocked if that matters.
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
You must re-lock in order for HTC signed zips to flash. (or any zips I think? I don't know, I've never HTC Unlocked)
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
S-ON users who are unlocked can flash unsigned zip files from the bootloader for the partitions they can normally update (i.e., recovery, boot, system) but firmware updates require a locked bootloader and a zip file signed by HTC. Here's a post where scotty85 elaborated on the considerations for flashing zip files from the bootloader, or via the "fastboot flash zip" command, when S-ON.

I'm stuck on step 28 and need some help. I have my phone down to hboot 1.40, still with S-ON though. I'm on step 28 where it tells me to run 1.13 RUU EXE, but I'm having problems with this. The RUU EXE runs for a while, then stops with this error:

ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR

The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.

When I first started it, it told me it would go from this version:

2.89.651.2

to

1.13.651.7

I don't know what could be the problem. I would appreciate any assistance in getting 1.13 RUU to flash a bootable ROM to my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
This version is extremely outdated. Please see the other thread here for the newest release.
[HTC EVO 3D] rsanchez1:
Sorry about that. I'll try the 1.13 RUU linked in that thread and post there If I have other questions.
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
It's not the RUU that is the problem it's the version of the URT tool that is on this CD. You need to get the new version of that tool there.
[HTC EVO 3D] sccubasteve:
will this toolkit also downgrade from 1.57.5757 vm hboot to the lower hboot?
[HTC EVO 3D] The Fer-Shiz-Nizzle:
If you have the 1.57.5757 hboot, that means that you did the wire trick and you already have s-off. I doubt that this toolkit would work, but even if it does, it's overkill. Your s-off already so all you need to do is put the hboot you want to install (in PG86IMG.zip) on the root of your sdcard and and reboot to the bootloader to flash it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sccubasteve:
I did do the wire trick and do have s off. With so much stuff about hboots and s off I wasn't sure that just flashing the right hboot zip wouldnt brick this phone. So I just find the right pmg file and I'm straight?
[HTC EVO 3D] sccubasteve:
Found the factory 1.4 h boot, flashed it how you recommended, went butter smooth. Rock in PAC man ROM as we "speak" thanks a lot guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] PMGRANDS:
Is this process hard? And will it work on a windows computer?
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
This process is obsolete, See the thread in my signature for CDMA.

And no, it won't work on Windows, which is why a LiveCD is provided, you can use a USB flash drive and boot from it.

[HTC EVO 3D] dadda:
No problem closeone I'm just trying to help everyone out cause I have downloaded all of them but never used any of the releases cause i have to unroot my phone for service due to a bad in-call volume headset and was looking for a much easier process to do when I get the replacement phone with HBOOT 1.50.

On a side not I have to thank unknownforce for the downgrade HBOOT cause i used the video for a tech-talk in class this Monday cause of the Linux commands do to the open source course I'm in now.
[HTC EVO 3D] geehova:
Now that 5.1 is out... Does anybody mind helping me say step by step?
[HTC EVO 3D] b1gsby_02:
I just finished using the live cd. Great work Closeone! My experience: took me awhile to brick the phone.. I don't know if it matters, but I have a class 10 32gb sd card, and when the bootloader is updating, it finishes within 5 seconds.. so I finally got it to brick (at the 4 second mark) and my LED light was never dim when I plugged it back into AC power, so I wasn't sure if I had actually bricked my device or if my battery finally drained after many attempts. With the battery still out, I booted up the LiveCD, opened up Terminal, typed 'downgrade' (without quotes). It prompted for a password, hit Enter (don't type anything in) and then follow the prompts. No commands required. Once it finished, put my battery back in, booted into Bootloader, hBoot 1.4. Anyone can do this once bricked.

Also, revolutionary worked for the first time attaining S-off.
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
Yeah, I tried to make the downgrade tool as simple as possible, plus no more confusing commands, no confusing messages, easy to read and follow directions on screen.

I'm planning bigger and better things for it (S-OFF flashing, recovery flashing, all in one) to eliminate the need to have to run the RUU and revolutionary. But this is still already so simple even as is...

I'm happy with the way it's turned out. :)

And the LiveCD was a great idea, closeone has done a nice job with it. I've added his name to the main thread Thanks list :)
[HTC EVO 3D] b1gsby_02:
I'm curious as to why my LED was never dim once I was bricked. It didn't come on at all. I can clearly see the dim LED in Unknownforce's video. My hardware version is also 0002.
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
Thank you Unknownforce. You have no idea how this feels for me. It's taken a lot of time, but I am just happy that so many people have used these tools that wouldn't have done it otherwise. That truly makes me feel good. :) Who is cutting onions in here?

--

By the way, I should be able to implement the ability to do Revolutionary (the traditional way. Only thing that would be required is that the user gets their device key from Revolutionary.io first). Flashing a recovery image would be second. I just don't know what you have up your sleeve. :rolleyes:

[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
I know that some people are getting it, and some aren't. Not sure why, but the process shouldn't be any different for you either way. :)

[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
Downloading and Uploading all new ones now Closeone thanks for the PM. This should be a lot faster now compared to last time
[HTC EVO 3D] Unknownforce:
I wouldn't worry about that. :D

I'm working on making the downgrade do the S-OFF and custom recovery and hboot and everything all at once.
[HTC EVO 3D] notsointeresting:
Alright all the versions I missed are uploaded HERE Closeone. Feel free to do what you want with them :)
[HTC EVO 3D] KL45SiiK:
So if i use this i won't have to do the first step on unknownforce's thread? meaning i won't have to take the battery off and wait 5 sec before i unplug the usb?
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
Humm. This should be interesting. :)

Thanks notsointeresting! I appreciate it.

Actually, you won't have to do the old first step, which required temp rooting your phone and doing the "Mainver" change so that the bootloader would accept the RUU. Now, you start with Unknownforce's new Step 1, and load up the Boot-CD when you get to step 2. Just remember, if you are already HTCDev unlocked, you must relock yourself first. You will have to brick your phone first still. It's less scary than you think. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] KL45SiiK:
I'm relocked already. So I start with unknownforce's NEW step 1 and after i'm bricked I just boot up the cd and proceed to step 2?

Was confused there for a minute because both the threads got updated today.
[HTC EVO 3D] closeone:
Yes. Exactly. Sorry for the confusion.
[HTC EVO 3D] KL45SiiK:
I am going to try to downgrade in a bit. The only thing holding me back is the 1.13 ruu download... it's taking forever to download!!! Someone needs to upload the ruu's elsewhere.

I will report back if i successfully downgrade :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Semantics:
I've downloaded the ISO and I cant find a read me file anywhere. I assume the instructions are in a readme file, as they are not in the first post. Any suggestions? I downloaded the test version. Thanks for all the hard work put into this.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drorlazar:
I created my account, logged in and created my first playlist. I then added 5 videos to the playlist and everytime I added, it indicated so that the video was added. Opened up my playlist and true enough all my videos with there - different titles and different length of time. I play the first one and plays fine. I click on the 2nd video, and to my surprise, it played exactly what my first one played even though the video titles were different. Went to my 3rd trhu my 5th video and it just played the video that was on the first one that displayed.

So the problem I have is, the videos that I added to my playlist, even though had different titles, plays only the video of the 1st one. Kind of weird.....

(On other devices it work fine -sgs2/pc)

Anyone have an idea how to fix this? Or a workaround?

Together with this, how do you remove or delete or edit playlist on an Android 4.0 on a tablet?

Hi everyone. I got my phone around 3 months ago and I've been sporting this $2.50 case I found online. It's good, but doesn't offer the protection I need. I'm looking for a better case that isn't too expensive. So far I'm considering these...

Trident Aegis

Seidio

Ballistic Look-Alike (http://www.ebay.com/itm/13065928243...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3360wt_1185)

Otterbox Commuter if I can find one for cheap

Any recommendations? Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bmoreboy02:
I had the actual ballistic case like that. It will protect it from falls but i work in construction and everyday i got home i had to take the phone out the case and clean them both bc the case gets dust inside to easy. Ive had seidios tridents ballistics and otterboxes for numerous phones. Ive pretty much come to realized the only case thats gonna offer full protection is one with a built in screen protector like a otterbox defender or ballistic hc. Others do offer good drop protection but they just let to much dust inside the phone
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
The actual ballistic is a little out of my range, as is the defender :/. But I've heard the trident aegis is good at resisting dust.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mexiking713:
The Trident Aegis is a great case and offers great protection against drops and dust. You can find it on eBay for about $20 with shipping. You can't go wrong with the otterbox commuter but that's gonna cost you about $27 on eBay shipped. If cost is a big factor go with the Trident. You get more bang for your buck. Its a premium case at a great price.

I love my Trident but I ordered the otterbox commuter just because I'm an otterbox fanboy :D

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d12unk13astard:
I just got that same exact case yesterday and its a steal! Feels great while holding phone and not cheap looking at all. I remember paying 35+ for a trident ageis case on my old mt4g and that is basically what this case is.

Also ordered couple screen protectors and the case does a good job of keeping protector snug so no dust gets in. I'm very impressed and I usually hate rocking my phone anything but naked lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iniz94:
Thanks everyone. I think I'm just going to buy the Aegis sometime tomorrow for like $19. Although I did find a good deal on the Ballistic (actual) on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sprint-Epic...ccessories&hash=item1e6c4a978c#ht_1749wt_1344). Is Ballistic generally preferred over Aegis?

I have a very good news for you.

You can get Seido cases for dirt cheap.

here is why.

Seido makes OEM ( store brand) cases for Bestbuy sold as platinum series.

The surface case. is best buy model call STC21SB. list as 34.99

but if you search 'STC21SB' on ebay, store liquidators are always getting rid of them under 10.

this method can be apply to any phone.. just search your phone in best buy, get the model number of Seido case, and get it on ebay.

I think last time i got one... 8.99 shipped including holster.

I got the Seidio Active case a few months back and it's been through a lot of falls and it hasn't gotten a single scratch on the case or the phone.

System/app/systemui.apk

decompile that and look in the res/drawable-hdpi and xhdpi

I have some tutorials but I'll have to link them when I get to a computer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
Thanks Smitty, I'll pull that out right now and take a look. Also looking forward to your tutorials.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
Well, I'm off to a good start, bricked it lol. I don't think I signed the apk correctly or I did something wrong pushing it onto the phone. I think I'll wait for the link to those tutorials before I cause some real damage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] diablo009:
Look into framework and twframework apks too under /system/framework. These too contain icons under res/drawable-hdpi and xhdpi
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ee23hd2:
Yeah there will be signal and battery icons in a few different locations. But in this case you want to look in systemui/res/drawable-xhdpi as smitty stated. If youre having trouble finding certain pngs, feel free to ask, and we can save you some time =)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
Alright, I've been furiously editing png files, and I want to see what it looks like on the phone. I think I'm doing something wrong though when I try and put the apks back. I'll run down what I'm doing and maybe someone can tell me where I'm going wrong. I'm using APK Multi-Tool

This is for framework-res.apk

1. Put all the edited png files back in their respective folders.

2. In apk multi tool, press 3 for 'Zip apk'

3. I press 1 for 'System apk (retains signature)'

4. I go rename the unsignedframework-res.apk to framework-res.apk

while phone is booted normally:

5. adb remount

6. adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

7. adb remount

8. adb reboot

Now the phone will start booting and then screen goes black. I am forced to restore a nandroid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
Try using APKManager for framework-res.apk.I have better luck with that one for framework for some reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
Yeah I'm doing something wrong. I did the same as above for SystemUI.apk and it booted alright but the notification pulldown and status bar were missing. Does the problem really lie with APK Multi-Tool?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
Ok, I seemed to have found the problem. The issue was being being caused by the script in APK Multi Tool. I changed this line

%szip% a -tzip "place-apk-here-for-modding/unsigned%capp%" "projects/%capp%/*" -mx%usrc%​

to this:

%szip% a -tzip "./place-apk-here-for-modding/unsigned%capp%" "./projects/%capp%/*" -mx%usrc%​

for some reason the first line would include the /projects/framework.apk/ directories in the rezipped apk, this would then cause the bootloops and crashes.

Well anyway everything works now! So excited, here is a couple screen grabs of my recoloring so far of Saurom. It's very simple and I will be doing much more work on it, but I am really just going for a very simple blue theme.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
nice catch. looks good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
Got a couple more pics and questions, always questions!

Ok first, I'm trying to add some images to the battery animation. On Saurom, I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but while charging it displays a series of battery circle images then it displays the normal battery image then cycles back to the beginning of the circles. Well the normal battery image isnt 36px wide so it is displayed looking stretched out and it drives me nuts.

So I took the normal batterys and made them 36px wide. Originally wanted to just add them in as separate images to only be used in the charging animation, so I modified stat_sys_battery_charge.xml and got a bootloop. Looking further I found public.xml and added 100 new images, but now I get build errors trying to recompile. I've searched all over trying to find info on how to properly modify public.xml but can't seem to find anything.

Anyways, I found a workaround without editing xml, results below! Both images taken while charging, notice on second image the battery isn't stretched. YEAH this is fun!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lactardjosh:
If you're using APK Manager, it'll tell you if you change any xml, you should delete the resources.arsc file and any other xmls and other files that you've modified from the keep folder before recompiling.

I don't remember if APK Multi tool does the same.

Are you doing that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macked:
Actually I tossed out APK Multi-Tool and tracked down APK Manager 5.0.2. Seeing that mistake in the script from earlier repeated about a hundred times keeps me from wanting to use it.

And I was not removing anything from the decompiled apk, I was recompiling it as it was.
