Well, first, go into different roms, and look at their changelog - see if you can figure out what they are changing - don't just look at the roms in these forums.. look in other forums too. Download a rom, look at the updater-script to see if there is anything there that is making the change in that you saw in the changelog.. look at the files the updater script specifically sets permissions for(if it does), as those files are usually modified, hence why they have to set permisions.. look at the /system/etc folder.

Get a program like winmerge(I think that is what it is), or filemerge for mac, or some other program that will compare files AND directories line by line.. compare a stock rom to a modified rom- as long as it compares directories too, it will output which files the stock rom didn't have, which have been changed, what has been changed- THIS is the easiest way to figure it out for yourself. Piece by piece.

For example, right now I am trying to figure out why the custom kernel here isn't changing my clock speed - if I unpack the zip file, I see he has replaced the init.qcom.post_boot.sh file, and if I compare that with the stock rom, or the energy rom I am using, I see he commented out the lines that change the frequency.. so I look at the updater script, the aroma_config file, and each file tells me what it is doing.. I see the badass.sh file creates a file called 89badass in the init.d folder.. part by part you can figure out exactly what he was doing, how he was making the changes.

There is no real "guide" that is going to help as much as finding a way to figure it out for yourself.. programs like filemerge and winmerge are free and easy to find, and DEFINITELY give you a good place to start. Technically making your own rom is just making changes to a stock rom until you are actually reCODING something - but those changes can be pretty huge and technical, and do awesome things.. you just got to figure out what they are, and how to do them.

Everything above should give you a good place to start..

I'm gonna start trying to figure this out before my first android I was totally computer retarded my parents died when I was 14 and I had to quit school and start working so at 32 yrs old now this is pretty tough so thank you for trying to help folks like me learn and keep up with all this new technology.

quick question. How do I check the change log or is there a link to it or so I can use I think that's what I'm asking!
[HTC EVO 3D] Akutalji:
I am having one hell of a time installing the new 4.0.3 Android (Ice Cream Sandwich) update. Everything was going smoothly, downloaded update, atempted to install, but then it got stuck on the HTC logo loading screen when I first boot the phone.

Attempted factory reset, did not work. Attempted recovery, which i was prompted with a phone logo with a red exclimation mark. From there, i help Vol up and power button to get to another screen, wiped cache and attempted another factory reset. Nothing.

I have been looking into re-flashing the phone manually ( i know that this may void the warranty, but due to my location, sending it out is NOT an option). I have downloaded a ripped version of the OEM ROM that the phone came stock with, placed it in a freshly reformatted SD card, then i went back into the boot loader. Immediately, the phone picked it up, and I let the phone do its thing, still nothing.

Am I doing something wrong, or is my phone complete botched past the point of no return?

Any help regarding this issue is GREATLY appreciated. Don't make me go back to using my BB Torch >.>
[HTC EVO 3D] Akutalji:
I talked to a rogers customer support agent, who transfered me to a technician. The reason my phone will load the new ROM, but fail to reboot is because the internal memory is fried. The reason the phone failed during an update and not from regular use is because i NEVER shut off my phone, and the OS was always loaded.

Good thing flashing the phone dosen't void the warranty :P
[HTC EVO 3D] naissou:
I had the same issue, but could easily pass through.

The thing is that my original rom was android 2.3, and i wanted to update to ics 4

So i restored the original rom then done, like you the htc update.Wehn the phone has reboot, i faced the same problem as yours.

To make the phone boot correctly, i simply get the boot.img from the latest "TeamGenesis3DRom" then "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

then "fastboot reboot" ans the phone starts correctly.

Hope it will help you.
[HTC EVO 3D] Arceo85:
If you are on s-on you will alwais need to flash new roms using fastboot. You need to upload the boot.img in cmd on your computer. I would open the rom and copy it over to the folder that i used to unlockboot loader then open cmd on your computer then type cd \rootevo3dnew then type fastboot flash boot boot.img. Before you download anny other roms you need to get 4ext recovery from play store. That recovery will work every time you want to flash new roms when your on s-on without having to use your computer.
[HTC EVO 3D] srikanth_s:
Install Custom Rom

I didnt read ur second post. I was suggesting u to install custom ROM. I hope ur poblem solved by now.
[HTC EVO 3D] naissou:
I totally agree with.

But this case is very particular.

I can tell because i'm S-OFF and can flash any rom i wanr whithout fastboot.

But in this particular case, even with taking the boot.img from the rom deployed by HTC and then flash it through fastboot, the phone didn't passed the HTC screen.

As i said, i had to take the boot.img from a custom rom (in his case it was a predator or genesis rom).
[HTC EVO 3D] UndefinedUser:
the easiest way to fix your issue is to download the latest RUU from here then just rename it to PG86IMG, but first you have to relock your bootloader, vol down + power, then go to fast boot and type in command prompt "fastboot oem lock" and once you have the RUU on the root of your SD card boot back into bootloader and it will say **relocked** and then it will recognize the "PG86IMG" and it will check the file and ask you if you want to update, it will then install and everything should be hunky dory, I recommend after that, unlock your bootloader again via the HTCdev method and then make your phone s-off and then start flashing roms as often as you want without any issues
[HTC EVO 3D] Akutalji:
Just for the hell of it, I tried it.

I downloaded fastboot, and got my hands on the stock .img for the evo. Still the same issue, the bootloader loads the new image but never asks to reboot.

Memory is fried :D They are now sending me a new phone :D

hi

recently , my friends and i having a problem with our Obs

we should push the lock button so hard for unlocking the screen! it wasnt like this before! what is the problem!?

we use 2.3.4 official
[LG Optimus Black] Borjie:
It's possible the switch underneath the button has been slightly dislodged. Try reflashing firmware. If problem persist, have it checked by lg.
[LG Optimus Black] BeBeLKhaN:
we tried flashing another rom but problem is still ...!
[LG Optimus Black] Felsar:
is not rom related... it happens to me too since a month ago or something... is the button itself like is not pressing correctly or something
[HTC EVO 3D] IceReaper:
Hello guys, im stuggling around with my Evo-3D since a few days now, so i decided to register myself here.

Situation is as follows:

- I got an HTC Evo 3D GSM (germany)

- I used OTA-update to update to Android 4.0

- A while ago my Phone was defect, so the Mainboard got replaced.

- I tried unlocking with htcdev - but it doesnt accepts the keys (using google i found out its a problem with repaired mainboards)

- This phone was never rooted, has no cusotm bootloader, whatever

- My hboot is says its 1.5x

Because i own a Asus Transformer 300, which was rooted very easy without the need of doing S-off or whatever, i thought it should be possible with my evo 3d too. But i cant find "any" information which helps me here.

The only reason i want to root my device, is to delete a lot of the preinstalled apps, like games which i never wanted to have.

So i need the following:

a) a guide to root or maybe just temp root so i can get rid of this stuff, whithout anything else.

b) if thats not possible, i need a way to unlock it without htcdev. and then root it, remove stuff, and lock it again.

Thanks for any help :)
[HTC EVO 3D] e3d4eva:
To root the phone you can just follow zedomaxes thread on how to root the phone very good tutorial and if u cant unlock with htcdev there is no other way to lock well at least for cdma maybe gsm may have another way check out the dev forums

Hit the thanks button if i helped
[HTC EVO 3D] mkonecny:
If your Evo 3D is Locked and S-ON, the only way to unlock it is probably using this guide.

Indeed. I would be happily surprised especially considering the phone is discontinued. I'd think they wouldn't spend much time/consideration on it. Either way as someone already mentioned XDA developers could already get it up, and looking at the development thread they already have.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
HTC has this feature built in (flip to silence a ringing call, or to switch to speakerphone while in a call). For both HTC and Nokia, though, it requires extra driver support in the OEM firmware. Stock ROMs from other OEMs won't have it. Custom ROMs should be able to, I'd think, but there's no promise of that (for example, the HTC drivers may not know how to "talk" to the Nokia sensors).

The HTC app that controls these features is called Attentive Phone, though it's just a control panel, not the thing which actually implements to feature.

My phone got stuck and I did a factory reset. When I try to reroot the phone I can't find apply file from sd card on recovery. It only says apply update from /cache

It seems my phone is not seeing my sd card. I installed Rom Manager clockwork. I tried doing a Flash as someone suggested I got an error message, It runs to the end then is gets stuck and the error message I get is an error occured while attempting to run privileged commands.

So that did not work. Then he said do Flash Mod Touch that did not work either.

When I select I get an error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection, and that your SD card is inserted and has free space. I have a solid internet connection. It just can't find the sd card.

Please help.:(

Definitely let us know how the stiffness of power and volume button with the Defender case on. Also let us know if the screen cover interfere with Menu/Back buttons.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cjacks519:
I used to debate that all the time too. I finally decided that the commuter already adds enough bulk to the phone so I might as well just get the defender. To me the defender also seems to fit the phone better. The commuter series drives me nuts sometimes with that floppy gel skin under the plastic outer shell. I'm a "keep my phone in my pocket" kinda guy and the soft gel skin just gets hung up to much.

To each his/her own though. Just my 2 cents.... ;)
