hey thanks for replying, currently using:

HBOOT 1.40

CDMA

If i select recovery or factory reset, it shows me the HTC screen, vibrates and sends me to fastboot. Yeah, I read that thread and I didn't see anyone that was having the same problem and I can't post and ask because I'm a new user.
[HTC EVO 3D] hitman4274:
What recovery are you using? I would mount the sdcard to a computer put a update .zip with the recovery on it, boot into bootloader and let it do its thing,

we are android, android is us
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
Currently to me ubuntu running on top of android is pointless but intriguing. Is it possible to connected an external Usb wifi adapter to the phone and have it recognized in ubuntu? More simply put can the phone allow the needed data through the USB interface? I cannot be the only one considering the joy of running Airpwn on a mobile phone... Any thoughts? If the wifi adapter is possible it opens up a whole new box of abilities for the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
Went ahead and ordered http://www.amazon.com/Alfa-AWUS036H-Wireless-Long-Rang-Panel/dp/B003YI4HRM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

And a couple microusb to Usb adapters to test with.. I'll let yall know if I'm successful when I get everything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SilverStone641:
I've been thinking about this since i got the Note. Glad to see someone is thinking along the same lines.

I'm looking forward to seeing your results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
I should have the wifi adapter this week but the damn 50 cent microusb adapter will take until the 1st. Some odd reason I didn't feel like paying for shipping on something that costs 50cents.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Shurafa:
Funny I just ordered an Ethernet to usb adapter for similar purposes. I want to see if I can use Android to do network testing so I dont have to carry a laptop with me.

Looking forward to seeing your results. I will post mine as well.

PS. How do you get Ubuntu to run on the Note?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
Never thought of that. Now that I'm its a bit scary from a network security standpoint. Having a small easly hidden device hooked into an ethernet network and just running wireshark or ethereal. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
It is possible to get Ubuntu running via a virtual machine setup (emulating Ubuntu on the phone inside Android). The other possibility is a remote desktop option.

The two problems however:

1. Most USB devices require power - something I dont believe the phone puts out thru the USB micro port.

2. Getting direct access to the hardware (required for most of these types of tools to work) is not likely possible via a VM or Remote Desktop situation.

My guess is, this wont work, but Im a glass half full kind of guy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jasg001:
A little OT but does anyone know if Ubuntu (via Ubuntu installer free app) works on SauRom?

Tried to get working but I couldn't start the shell. I'm thinking the bottleneck is the kernel, not sure if it allows multiple loops or something like that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
1. I thought about the power requirements after I bought it and so far I haven't been able to find any data on how much power the phone can supply through the USB port but seeing how the MHL requires additional power I might have to get creative to get power to the wifi adapter.

2. As long as the phone recognizes the wifi adapter as a host I don't think I'll have any problems with it inside the ubuntu VM. If I do I might be able to do alittle kernel work to make it communicate properly.

I'm trying to be optimistic as I really want it to work. Plus if integrating the wifi adapter directly fails I have a back up plan... Arduino to the rescue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nstong:
I'm not an expert on all things linux, but the chroot method isn't a virtual machine, it should be full fledged linux on the hardware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
Android runs all processes in a VM. But anyways I have it all working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Carnifex3:
I have all the needed drivers for my wifi adapter cross compiled one set for the current ICS and one for GB. The ICS you need to manually install the drivers from terminal and the GB is already included into my custom kernel. If anyone is interested let me know. At this moment I do not plan on putting it out in the public in the development forum...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VonEsch:
On the same page. I cringe when I order something on Amazon for 3.99 and there's 6 dollars shipping.

Hoping someone from the dev thread

reads this. Only reason I can't post there is I am "new".

I'm running into an issue booting using the alternate boot option.

My primary boot is Stock rooted 6.3

My alternate is Pure AOKP ICS with Hashcode 3.0 Kerne

This is my partition table.

16 7690MB 7818MB 128MB ext4 cache2

This is from my init.omap4430.rc file

on fs
log "== init.omap4430.rc: on fs ------------------------"
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /system wait ro

mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p16 /cache wait noatime nosuid nodev errors=continue
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /dropbox wait noatime nosuid nodev errors=continue

And this is my update-script

......
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/boot2");

The install works fine, and everything seems to go to its correct place. But when I select the alternate boot option it sits indefinitely on the selection screen.
[Kindle Fire General] eldarerathis:
What recovery are you using? Many people are reporting that ClockworkMod seems to have trouble with ROMs using the 3.0 kernel, making them unbootable even on a stock boot layout. TWRP doesn't have issues with it, so I would try that if you're currently using CWM.

If that's not the issue, then try using the "/dev/block/mmcblk0p#" style to specify the partitions in the updater-script. I had some difficulty getting it to play nicely with the "by-name" style for whatever reason, especially with the boot images (I'm not really sure why, though).
[Kindle Fire General] three-p-o:
I'm used TWRP 2.0 and 2.1, neither "worked".

The rom installed, that doesn't seem to be the issue, unless I am completely off base.

I was unable to install gapps because moding its install script to goto the mmcblk0p14 caused it to fail, I think it was because it was signed, and I modded it making the md5 invalid. I need to work on that, but that shouldn't cause an issue with booting.

The only thing I can think of is that your boot2 is on p16 while mine is on p13?? would that be the issue?
[Kindle Fire General] three-p-o:
Changed to

format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14");
mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14", "/system");
.......
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p13");

and

on fs
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p14 /system wait ro
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /data wait noatime nosuid nodev errors=continue
# mount ext4 /dev/block/platform/mmci-omap-hs.1/by-name/cache /cache wait noatime nosuid nodev errors=contin$
mount ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /dropbox wait noatime nosuid nodev errors=continue

This time I am trying to put the 6.3 rooted version on the alternate.

The install occurs with no issue. It just gets stuck at the Alternate Boot menu.

I'm using 0.1, not sure if there is another version of the loader.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] actech1:
hello eveyone. I was in china and bought a galaxy note knock off.

Android Version 4.0.9

Release codename rel

Brand YUSU

hardware MT6573

Board e1108_V73_jbaol1g18

Dual sim.

Could anybody help me with rooting this phone please. i have had alook on the forums and it appears no one has one of these.

FYI a new version of this Phone is due for release towards the end of april.

it will have a 1.2GHZ processor dual sim and ICS
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTContent:
Try searching online. You probably won't have any luck posting here as probably no one owns those kind of knock off phones in this forum.

Out of curiosity though, did you know it was fake or did you buy it thinking that it was a Samsung galaxy note?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Rooting unofficial versions of the OS are tricky mainly when most knock offs don't really have the specs it says it does. And the OS is not one Google released
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balamu96m:
Try searching in russian forums like 4pda.ru & china-iphone.ru

it might help you.....

if you find an answer there post it here ...it will help others like you!! :D

Best of luck!!
[Nexus S General] Pointerflow:
Hello guys,

I used my Phone some weeks on Android 4.0.4.

No complaints.

Then I discovered the Phone Encryption entry in security menu.

I started encryption over night, everything finished good.

No recognizable performance decrease, everything fine.

Then one day I activated airplane mode and after some hours the battery state went from 90 % down to 60 % percent.

Android's build in statistics show Android System responsible.

I assume that encryption on Nexus S needs heavy battery consumption.......
[Nexus S General] Harbb:
Sounds like a bug. I don't think the encryption thing is quite solid enough to rely on just yet, let google (and devs) sort out any kinks that are still present for now.

[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
I just looked at sprints site they don't even have the EVO 3d listed did it eol?
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
It isn't on their full site.
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
See and if you click on the link to shop sprint now it isn't there.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah its EOL bud and if not will be very very soon.....HTC isn't making any more evidently and Sprint has been trying to offload the rest in stock.

Duff over at S4GRU commented on this coming soon a few days ago...
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Nice that's sad does it even mean they will give us ics lol
[HTC EVO 3D] DowntownRDB:
From an HTC Marketing perspective it doesn't make good business sense to provide ICS for the EVO 3D when they can make $$$ by selling you a new smartphone with ICS. Having said that I sure hope we get ICS on our EVT 3Ds and "marketing strategies" don't prevail.
[HTC EVO 3D] notasimpleway:
They are required to support a new version of Android within 18 months of release. Basically, every phone gets one update to the next version of Android before EOL. We'll get ICS. Just not sure when. Should be soon. It's just up to Sprint now to get it ready.
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Yeah that's been enforced not ics has Been out 7 months we should have it by now as should most devices released last year but they don't
[HTC EVO 3D] nate.spangler:
I tried to order one for a customer monday and it didn't show up on our list. Called and it was eol as of the 17th, and the purple was eol as of the 12th
[HTC EVO 3D] bagelicious:
I'd argue the exact opposite, actually. Aside from us geeks at XDA, the average customer that picked up the EVO 3D doesn't know/care about ICS. Anyone in the US who picked it up on contract for 2 years isn't likely to upgrade to a new phone until next year when their contract is up. The only people they are appeasing with an ICS update are people like us, who are clearly in the minority.

Even if it comes out 6 months from now, the rest of the crowd will just be like "Oh wow, an update. Cool! HTC rocks!" and they will be happy that HTC still supports their phone. The XDA crowd (the ones that don't move on to another phone) will be cursing HTC every day until ICS is released. Some of us will stick with HTC and some will jump ship. That's inevitable.

So pushing out an ICS update will actually go towards keeping the average customer satisfied until their contract expires next year. If they can promote brand loyalty to the average joe, they are more likely to pick up another HTC device next summer.

Of course, this way of thinking doesn't really apply to those outside of the US who aren't locked in to 2 year contracts.
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Spot on most don't know there is a new os till they buy another phone and even over seas I don't think that many people follow it all though I may be wrong.
[HTC EVO 3D] mlin:
That may have something to do with Google. The whole ICS release was kind of a mess, and the NS4G as of a month ago still hadn't received the official ICS update. Perhaps HTC/Sprint was waiting on a solid build from Google since 4.0.3 was kinda screwy.
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
So you're telling me I can warranty out my phone in 5 months and have a 4glte?? I'm down lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Mikee4fun:
EOL already? Wow the TP2 went selling forever before it went EOL. Guess HTC is going all in on the HTC one and wants to save money by consolidating production of one streamlined device. Granted there are the different models on one. Also this is mostly probably do to Sprint migrating to LTE and they want to move away from WIMAX ASAP.
[HTC EVO 3D] sailio:
RadioShack still has them! We are selling them left and right
[HTC EVO 3D] flyingwolf:
Typical, phone is EOL and Radio Shack is selling them at full price.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
This was NOT a requirement. It was more of a suggestion. There is no penalty from Google if someone who agreed to this decided to break this agreement.

However, HTC did promise we'd get the update already. It wouldn't be good for them to back out of their promise. And wasn't the og evo eol when it got gingerbread?
[HTC EVO 3D] piscesjoey:
OG Evo didn't go EOL until maybe 2-3 months after Gingerbread was released
[HTC EVO 3D] munsterrr:
Yeah I guess sprint is throwing them everywhere.

I was BLOWN(to say the least) when the door man at my local watering hole had one on cricket the other day. Kind of made my phone feel cheap and not as cool any more.

No they're not, google just asked them to, but they are under no obligation.
[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
Yeah...the whole "Android Update Alliance" is a joke.
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
Pretty much otherwise nore devices would have 4.0 I mean I understand if the base is funky or something but at least one device has been updated on all manufacturers or had a leak.. lol
[HTC EVO 3D] Volumes:
I went into sprint Sunday to replace my E3D, the charger dock on the phone, the tab snapped. Repair shop couldn't fix it. So they said refurbs are on back order, they said oh well and just got me a new one.
[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
I'm wondering if we can get an Evo 4G LTE as a replacement when it comes out. I know a bunch of people got 3Ds as replacements for the 4G when it came out. Hmmmmm... Might have to try this out.

that is pretty odd and funny

i still have my rooted hero, i actually almost thought about going back to it for a while

---------- Post added at 03:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:07 PM ----------

if they let me get the new nexus or evo then i will just spike mine off the ground and pay the $100 lol

[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
now its just time to wait until they run out so we can return break our evo's and they will have to give us the new evo lte.

I still have 11 months of warranty
[HTC EVO 3D] Cetus Corr:
Exactly what I was thinking
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Ok....since its eol...does it mean no ICS?
[HTC EVO 3D] :
I have a feeling this is going to happen.
[HTC EVO 3D] 6666:
/still wishing I could get an android phone with touch pro 2 form factor. Man I miss my "baby laptop" on my desk at work. How come HTC stopped making this form factor? (Or do they still and I just am unaware?)
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
I doubt it. They're probably just making room for the new Evo. They don't want people to use their upgrades on an older, cheaper phone. They want them to wait for the new phone.

The ICS update for this phone is probably already done, they have no reason to just decide not to release it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Emerl:
Wait, with ESRP or a different insurance?
[HTC EVO 3D] ycats:
Amazing, the phone isn't even a year old yet and not being sold from the site anymore. Hope it gets the long-awaited ICS, but this doesn't look encouraging. But I am anxious to see what GSIII will be like, hopefully Sprint gets a variant of the Galaxy Note.
[HTC EVO 3D] Davidl2901:
SOLD OUT

As far as i know they still have the 3d, because I just bought mine and rooted it. they didn't make the rooting easy but I did it with s-off and unlocked.
[HTC EVO 3D] demar01:
Wonder what I'll get if I go through my insurance? Since it will longer be sold by sprint.
[HTC EVO 3D] lyon21:
Also, those of us who got ours last June and July can warranty it around that time and you get an additional 90days on a refurb or a new 1year if you get a brand new one! HURRY! Warranty your phone before your original one is up!
[HTC EVO 3D] ticklemepinks:
just because they aren't making new ones or selling them on the site, they still have refurbs, so breaking ur fone and hoping to get an LTE doesn't seem like the best idea, they might have 3d's for a while
[HTC EVO 3D] aaronpoweruser:
in jan you definitively will but they wont want to give you an evo but you can argue your way into it, depending on stock maybe september november
[HTC EVO 3D] ChromeEvo:
It hasn't even been a year... Wow.

I understand they're trying to make room and cut the amount of devices they make to support them better, but this is just ridiculous.

Q3 is my bet for ICS, unless they try to be slick and never update this device at all, which I'm predicting.

Pretty much done with HTC at this point.
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
I just don't see Sprint updating the 3D after its EOL.
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
T-Mobile gave the G2 an update after it was eol... hopefully sprint does the same
[HTC EVO 3D] troyboytn:
The Thunderbolt is also on the upgrade list and has been eol for some time now.
[HTC EVO 3D] gingson:
It really is disappointing to see a good phone being ignored by people. It's also sad that not too many devs, after the 2.17 update, started rebuilding their roms. And now we may never see ICS??
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
The HTC Evo 3D is still being sold widely in my country and also still being sold in Germany.

The price off HTC Evo 3D is in my country still around the € 300, in Germany the price is abit lower and there is where I bought mine.

But then again you Americans think you live alone on this world, because its only one American provider you are talking about and that is Sprint.

I also don't get why people are still so stupid to buy there phone with a contract, you are paying that phone double back, at least in my country, because the time when you could score a nice phone with a cheap contract are over.
[HTC EVO 3D] ckoadiyn:
1st not all of us are like that and I am sorry you feel that way about us.

Second we have no choice the cheap plans over here come with **** phones and you have to do **** to nice phones to have them work we are not as lucky as you guys over.seas when it comes to that.
[HTC EVO 3D] shadowhawk2020:
Why would you come into a thread that is talking about Sprint and the possibility of Sprint's Evo 3d not getting an ICS upgrade?

Is it your European inferiority complex?

But if you want to talk "alone in the world", do you even know how American cell phone contracts work? It would be smart to read up on it especially if you are going to call people stupid.

In this country you have three options if you want the best phones companies have to offer:

1. Pay as you go service. You pay $500 or more for a good phone (still not the best on the market) generally pay less per month, but get really spotty service.

2. Sign a contract with one of the "big guys", pay $200 for the best phone currently available and stick with that company for 2 years (or until you want to pay an early termination fee).

3. Buy a phone off contract for $500+ pay the exact same money a month as option 2, but have the right jump ship when you want to.

There is no savings to be had buying a phone off contract.
[HTC EVO 3D] xKLEINx:
The sprint stores in mi still have them for sale from the stock that they were supplied. Not sure how long that will last though.
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
Can't you get an sim only and buy your smartphone separated?

( Lol had this ready to send but was somehow busy with something else )
[HTC EVO 3D] lpjzfan2005:
See you can but you pay the same price as being on contract, so If you buy outright you basically take it in the butt without lube
[HTC EVO 3D] Trina9:
HTC told me on Twitter that it will be getting ICS. I've asked Sprint, but haven't heard back from them.
[HTC EVO 3D] DexterMorganNL:
You don't get any discount that you would not get when you have the phone with it? Here in the Netherlands most contracts are also sold with phone, but you can also choose for prepaid or simonly and simonly just means you get an huge discount on your contract.
[HTC EVO 3D] flyingwolf:
Again, this is for Sprint, Sprint is CDMA, not GSM, no SIM cards.
