[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyder3:
So I brew myself a fresh pot of coffee and get back to work (playing with my phone)...

Step-by-step I read back through the Captain's instructions...what did I miss? Is it my phone? Do I need to try the TacoRoot method?

:eek:

Uhhh....Alright, back to the Captain!

I'm doing it again...one step at a time. Read everything carefully. No skipping the easy steps that I feel like I've done a dozen times already...adb shell...type EXIT...$

Wait, what? No $, I want #...su...#...cool...EXIT...$?!?

Screw it. The Captain doesn't mention it, so I'm sure it's supposed to happen like that.

Reboot into bootloader...yup, it says locked again...I'm feeling good. Right on track. Why isn't it asking me to update? I never unplugged. The Captain didn't say to unplug...screw it, I'm unplugging. SD card re-mounts..."do you want to start update?"...sweet! :cool:

Fast forward through the unrevoked process, and I'm FINALLY rooted!!! :D

So...now what? lol

I'm gonna Google that..."rooted android now what?" Look at that, someone wrote an article with that same title! Flash Roms, customization, delete bloatware, run root-only apps...

Where to begin...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyder3:
I first tried the Rom that Captain Throwback has at the end of his thread...I believe MikeG was the developer...CT says with a wink that it will be the last rom I will ever need to flash.

Titanium Backup and Rom Manager are AWESOME programs for the noob rooter. I never felt nervous flashing my first Rom KNOWING that my stuff was backed up, and that someone smarter than me with that device wrote the program that was walking me through the process.

After flashing that first Rom, I was stoked! My phone was running as good as the first day I got it! I immediately starting checking out all of the cool apps that require root access that I could never run before. CPU Master, Wireless Tether, Rom Toolbox...whoa...Rom Toolbox is a kick-ass App! With a capital "A". There is really no need for a few of these other apps that I got since Rom Toolbox does all of that AND MORE.

So I spend about an hour playing with my new apps, and setting up my home screens when I realize...wait a minute...I rooted my phone to get ICS. What am I still doing with froyo?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbenney:
LOL. Why stop with ICS? you really should try some of the AOSP roms. I am currently running CIUI. very nice smooth rom very lite on space. As for great sense roms... try the Energy sense 3.5 rom release 3/15/12. I used that one and it was awesome but wanted to ditch sense.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyder3:
I'm done with Sense too. I really like GO Launcher EX. The transition effects appeal to me, and ability to customize nearly everything...icon size, number of pages, item carousel, app folders...I really haven't found something that I want to do that limits me from.

I'll try that Energy sense 3.5 you mentioned though...I'm currently using Alter Rom 0.0.4 pre-release version. It's really nice! Great on battery life, and has that cool TV on/off effect when pressing the power button. I'm still trying to find that option in the settings...lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_LJE:
Welcome to the dark side... Once you root you never go back to a stock rom.... :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbenney:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424926

this is my current daily driver... i use go launcher also.. This rom has the tv on off effects on power button presses. One thing to keep in mind with any sense 3.5 rom or aosp miui(ciui) have issues wiht sprint VVM... there is a workaround but I opted for the easy route and just switched to google voice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captain_Throwback:
Glad you finally decided to root, and glad you got through the instructions relatively unscathed.

Enjoy your custom ROMs, and I'm glad to have been of assistance :).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyder3:
Thanks for writing that guide bro! I thought that all was lost prior to finding it. The step-by-step instructions, complete with screen shots gave me the courage to finally take the leap.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyder3:
I'm loving this Alter Rom right now!

I might not ever go back to Sense, TBH. I'm still looking for a fully functional ICS rom...I've seen a couple that are getting close. With 20k people online at any given time here, I know it's only a matter of time.

When that time comes, I just hope that it's awesome...lol...it would be a bit of a letdown if after anticipating something so much, it turns out not to be that great. Kinda like going downstairs Christmas morning, and finding a stocking full of tube socks. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brilliancy:
If I were you, I wouldn't commit to anything too quickly. As they say, there are a lot of fish in the sea! There are a lot of great Sense ROMs out there. I prefer SOS X Odex. Running great, and active development. That's just me though. A lot of people love CyanogenMod, and I'll surely try CM9. Others like MIUI which offers something closer to an iPhone if I'm not mistaken. Never used it. There is even a nice WM7 ROM I saw, but it's not my thing. Experiment with different combinations of ROMs, kernels, settings, mods, and tweaks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyder3:
Good point. I can always restore.

I've been reading a lot about kernels...you can only use certain ones with certain roms though, right?

The next mod I want to try is setting up my sd card to ext4. I've backed up my sd on my PC, but I still think that I want to try it out with a fresh sd. I'm rocking that 8gb sd that came stock with the Evo 2yrs ago...so I'm probably more than overdue to upgrade that anyway.

I'll try those three that you mentioned. Thanks for that!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbenney:
make sure you do the research before you partition that sd card and upgrade it to ext4. I have read, if i remember right that our phones dont support sd-ext4. just remember, with most sense 3.5 or higher roms, you may have trouble finding one that has working WiMax and Sprint VVM. This may have changed, but it was due to no sprint phones having this android version factory installed and they were all ports form other carriers.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] actresss35:
You might want to check out Swiper's MIUI ICS? It's an aosp rom and it is one of the few stable ICS roms.

To comment on your posting privileges, I too am on my trial basis. But the thing is i'm not a developer but I have been rooting my evo since I got it at it's release. So i know a few things....I hate i can't post on the developers threads I've helped many via private messaging LOL It's frustrating....:(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Señor Poo:
started out using synergy/energy roms, (being more familiar with sense), once i downloaded bw, I had no more need for sense.

(Plug for Deck's ics here) once you go ics, you won't go back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] browntown412:
Regarding your question about kernels, just do the obvious and make sure the kernel is made for that rom (sense kernel for sense rom, aosp for aosp). Other than that, if you read through any development thread, you're most likely going to stumble across which kernels are more successful for each rom. It's usually asked by someone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] browntown412:
My finger hit the wrong button...

The above post is in regards to this comment.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyder3:
Maybe that's why I'm having problems with dta2sd...hmmm

I've gone through multiple command routes, but it seems like something is off. I bet it's the ext 4 partition.

I've installed MIUI ICS, and love it!!

I wasn't high on the launcher though...too iphone-esque for me...so I booted up GO and it's as smooth as silk.

I've recently been messing around with the different tweaks being mentioned in some threads...CoD, vipermod...and can't tell much of a difference. Granted, I've read that it takes time for things to really be noticeable. Although it could also be my SD partition?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjshleprock:
For me C-o-D is the most instantly noticeable (just pay attention to how may apps stay "open" vs. how much ram you have free). C-o-D changes app memory values and sd values. Viper mod changes cpu voltages via script.

Just don't give up on Car-o-Dope yet. And as far as the partition, I've been running a class 2 (the card that came with the phone) sd card, partitioned with ext3, about 650 mb worth of apps on the card AND Dalvik cache moved to the ext partition. NO PROBLEMS. Oh yeah, and the C-o-D tweaks may have helped?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] custm2007:
Great thread!

I'm also new to rooting and have been messing around with some different Roms trying to find the perfect one for me.

My first question is what is the s-off for? I thought I read somewhere you didn't have to get s-off. Mine is still s-On but I'm rooted and have been flashing back and forth to different ROMs for a few days now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
S-off means you phone is totally unlocked to do what u please...either good or bad to it. Being s-on, not all of your phone memory is writable yet I believe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irocketeer:
welcome! i agree with the poster above me, once you have a rooted evo with a rom, you'll never go back to the original xD
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klm56srq:
I originally rooted my phone with Revolutionary. I kept the Sprint stock ROM. I want to give this phone to a family member and wanted to receive the latest OTA update.

Following instructions I found here, I achieved S-ON. Here is my boot information.

Supersonic EVT3 SHIP s-on

HBOOT-6.17.0001 MICROP-041f

TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224-16ab

RADIO 2.15.00.0808

Mar 8 2011, 17:02:15

However, whenever I try the Sprint OTA update, I still get the triangle with the exclamation point.

Did I do something wrong? Do I need to flash a RUU - if so, which one? Please advise on what I need to do to update the phone?

BTW...the phone works just fine as is, but I would like to give my family member the ability to install OTA updates.

Thank you so much for helping with this issue.

If you have issues unrooting, you also could just flash the latest stock ROM. I'm sure the Evo won't be getting any more OTAs, given that it's already EOL according to sprint.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acecombat:
I'm running rooted ICS on my SGS2, have had no problem with it and have been running it for a while without any further modifications, however last night the battery went completely flat on me which hasn't happened before and after fully charging the phone, when I turn it back on it goes into a crash loop - That is no applications will start, and the screen is non responsive, then it closes TWLauncher and restarts the on screen apps again. For a few seconds the screen is responsive but whichever app I click on just says it has crashed. I can't even get it to display the Power off/reboot menu. After several cycles of this the phone completely resets.

I've removed the battery and attempted to get it into CWM but the screen just goes black when it should show CWM and then restarts after a few seconds.

Can someone please help me as I can't use my phone :eek:

I've managed to get into CWM - Backed up and then cleared cache & dalvik cache.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MyLifeRocks10:
wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and reboot. wiping data will not delete contents of ur sdcard.if that doesn't help copy rom files into external card and flash rom from external card by full wipe.

If your CWM recovery support usb mass storage mode, copy ur rom flashable zip into /sdcard, wipe data, wipe cache, then install zip. You should at least able to boot successfully, though all your contact, sms, apps will be gone.
