[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grrgrrgrr:
Hello, pardon my name, I never knew Xda was in charge of rooting and I made a quick account to download Swype when Evo first came out :P

that and I was frustrated throughout the day and had to make few accounts and emails for Evo (gmail...)

ANYWAYS - awesome job on finally getting the Evo fully rooted.

now here comes my part - the noob and Rooting...

Okay I have experience and knowledge of rooting PSP and whatnot, but never with a phone. This is my first smartphone but im no tech noob at the same time. Regardless, I do need to be instructed like a child on Rooting my evo and few answers to my concerns.

1 - If I wanted to return the Evo 4g or get it replaced within 2 yrs, does this void my warranty, insurance?

1b - If so, is there a way to Un-root and put it back to default settings?

now what I wanted to do with my root is to have all the crap apps and useles stuff out of my phone, out of the manage app, all gone. Keeping the minimum. I guess software or program - I assume you guys call it "ROM".

Sorry, coming from a gamers, homebrew world - my word associate to Rom is video games lol.

so which rom, or is there a rom that has the basics only? Phone, Contacts, Voicemail, text msg, HTC Sense UI + android 2.1 (unless you guys got Froyo out as well????)

so therefor I can customize or add the apps I want...

Currently I have tried all sorts of things to keep my battery up and it seems I either am running high android system or cell standby.

I have done the cdma plr thing and forced closed, deleted alot of data and still phone last 8-12hrs. Have the stuff I wasnt sure what it was and left it alone.

thank you for helping this noob out.

lastly - whats up with the 4g lack of speed?

I have clear, my modem and usb is approx 4x faster than what the evo picks up! :(

1: If you root and want to return your phone just don't say anything. They can tell but I myself have returned rooted phones with no problem!

1b: yes you can put it back to stock. I know I saw it in the development section somewhere just use search its there and if it isn't it will anyday now!

as for different roms there are couple to choose from. And now with full root roms will be all over the development forum. Just keep looking and READ READ READ!! I am running the bugless beast with all bloatware removed and sense turned off. It is really smooth and good battery. Sorry but I'm in so cal so no 4 g for me.

Oh and by the way from what I've gathered xda is not in charge of roms for Evo there are just some great developers here that can make great roms and share them with us!! So if you do figure out root and find a good Rom donate the rev for his or her work!!

prior to rooting i accidentally cleared my phones memory back to stock and it keeps asking if i want to install the update we got weeks ago. is it ok to do this now? and should i be disabling updates somehow?
[Droid Incredible General] krelvinaz:
You will need to re-root after the update. NBD..
[Droid Incredible General] touchpro247:
If you update you will loose root but, you can root it again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] c604765:
Hello All,

I have an issue that I have lost my Active sync Menu.

what use to happen is when I hooked up my HD2 to the PC. I would get the following menu.

1. ActiveSync

2. Internet Sharing

3. Use as Hard Disk

I now don't have these options appearing and my HD2 just defaults to Syncup with my PC.

I really would like these options to be displayed as it can take a long time to transfer large files to your storage card.

Any help appreciated.

Regards

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eric3043:
My phone recently has started malfunctioning. This happens when im texting and the texts do not send and i have full bars. I reboot the phone and boom no service. I sometimes try to go to network operator but i cant because airplane mode is enabled which i never enabled. I cant disable it so i just turn off the phone and reboot some other time and go to network operators and choose tmobile but sometimes im unlucky and it says my sim is not allowed to connect with tmobile. This is very annoying. Can someone please help me out? Thanks

reflash your radio
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eric3043:
I flashed the new radio 2.22.23.02 but still nothing. When i flash the radio do i have to reflash the rom also or jus flash the radio on top?
[EVO 4G General] infamousjax:
When I first got the Evo, I was getting about 900kb/sec-1.1mb/sec in my house, and ever since I've flashed these custom ROM's and new radio... The best I can get is about 300-500kb/sec... I've also noticed that my signal seems to fluctuate every couple seconds, from no signal to a full signal, which never used to happen either. I know I'm not going crazy, I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this... It's really discouraging
[EVO 4G General] toastcfh:
thread moved to general discussion forum. ;)
[EVO 4G General] S2000GTX:
i also noticee this too and ur are ABSOLUTELY right i was clockin like 1.1mb-1.5 before and im rooted using the fresh room and im at 600kb :confused:
[EVO 4G General] infamousjax:
gonna return mine, get a new one, and stick to stock... i think it broke my radio internally.
[EVO 4G General] itmustbejj:
I notice slower speeds as well from my first day or so 4th and 5th. I might feel the same way you do if I didnt have my girlfriend and best friend who both got evo around the same time and are being completely stock. They both have similar speeds to me. I actually went into a Sprint store to complain and sure snuff my speeds jumped up to 700kbps downstream for the first time in almost a week right before I went in.

I am NOT happy with my 3g speeds and am borderline on canceling my contract. If it wasn't for this awesome phone and this awesome dev community I would tell Sprint to kiss my whole @$$h0le. Premium data my ass.
[EVO 4G General] strung:
I noticed better speeds after the ROM and Radio update. Speeds are highly variable and depend on a lot of factors. I doubt you damaged it by flashing, flash memory is designed to be flashed.
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
Just run the RUU, it will restore the original radio and everything else you think you lost. Link is here >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=685835

I have a feeling this has more to do with your local network congestion, but feel free to prove otherwise.
[EVO 4G General] infamousjax:
I've flashed the original RUU and it didn't fix it... why would my speed halve with no changed variables? It just doesn't make sense.

It's not possible that I damaged my radio by flashing the upgraded radio? And now that's why it's acting erratic and my speeds are so bad?
[EVO 4G General] infamousjax:
How fast is your 3G when you run speedtest.net?
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
I just got 490 down 380 up, but my results vary wildly... again depending on network conditions and where you are connected and how many users are also connected, etc. Get a few people on the same tower that are into bittorrent and your results can be drastically different.

Some past results in my history:

780/540

949/1013

388/770

357/721

662/139

561/577

680/1013
[EVO 4G General] danknee:
Even if it is possible, your new phone will come pre-broken most likely. That radio is the official Sprint radio and if the phone has the OTA update you will have it.
[EVO 4G General] Pops_G:
Just because you do not know what the variables are, does not mean there are no variables.

Possible variables you are not considering.

There are 20 other people around you with new EVOs testing their speeds, tethering, and downloading like its going out of style.

Time of the day. There are peak usage times. Maybe your first test was on a low usage time.

The site you use to test your speed has become more congested recently.

There is more CDMA users around you recently. With CDMA towers, the more users per tower, the lower its radius/signal will get.

Maybe you had WiFi on the first time?

I am sure I could make up 15 more variables if I wanted to.

To ease your concerns, think of ROMs as software, and your phone as the hardware. It is very unlikely that you did damage to the hardware. Especially considering most of these ROMs are exactly like Stock minus a few Sprint apps.
[EVO 4G General] clubtech:
Sorry to break it to you but these are typical sprint speeds. Sprint is one of the slowest cell carriers I have ever used.
[EVO 4G General] infamousjax:
I'm not an idiot alright... I didn't have Wifi on... I know somethings screwed up with my phone, it's not in my head.

There are possibly some variables as to why my speed isn't the same as it was a week ago, but there really is no explanation that for my erratic signal.

Oh well, hopefully I can figure it out.
[EVO 4G General] Johnny5Walker:
obviously this has nothing to do with wifi, but doesnt the EVO have 4G and cdma radio's????
[EVO 4G General] air2k57:
I am close to returning my EVO. I thought that maybe one of my flashes has done something to my 3g speeds, but I ran that RUU and no luck :(. I am going to be going to Sprint store on Wednesday to compare.

I am in Aurora CO, I am coming from Nexus one on T-Mobile. I LOVE Evo, but hate the way sprint is. I use my phone at the gym to listen to Pandora/Slacker, can't even do it on Evo since I get such crappy 3g speeds.. Downtown Denver phone works fine, but not here... Anyways, on T-Mobile I got about 1.6mb down, and 300up most of the time.

Today, I went down to T-Mobile store and ran SpeedTest on MT3G and Evo. At the store, MT3G got 3mbps down!!!, Evo howered around 600kbps. Anyways, point is, I really am not too happy with Sprint in my area. I am sure that in other places it is fine, but it doesn't seem to be the case here. I have tried everything, even downgraded my radio, no change in results.
[EVO 4G General] Pops_G:
While I believe that maybe your experience, it does not match with results I found.

Sprint 3rd of 4.

[EVO 4G General] dmc971989:
have you tried changing the PRL's to use Verizons towers?

from my experience the only negative thing it does is break sprint TV
[EVO 4G General] ffolkes:
i felt the same way, just noticed tonight. but now that i've run a bunch more speed tests, it all averages out. no doubt all these evo's are taxing sprints network to the extreme. :/ hopefully that $10 surcharge will quickly pay for upgrades.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I've noticed speed increases, I'm VERY happy with the speeds i'm getting
[EVO 4G General] air2k57:
How do you do that? Lol
[EVO 4G General] dmc971989:
go search in the android development section of the evo portal
[EVO 4G General] mongoose8p:
I guarantee the root has NOTHING to do with your speeds... wireless data speeds are dependent on many different factors including how many other people in your area are getting data of a single cell tower.. There is no plausible reason why root would affect data speeds.
[EVO 4G General] mongoose8p:
Cell phone providers have repeaters and antennas in their stores that make their signals seem way better than they actually are... Just so you know... trust me I used to be on t-mobile unless your in an HSPA area your gonna be getting less than 1mbps
[EVO 4G General] S2000GTX:
All i knwo is before i rooted i was able to download 3 apps at once an ect and now only one app download at a time and like i stated my speed has been cut in half so i dont know. im fully rooted now before i was rooted unsing the unevoked, method but i was still on stock room and i was able to download 2 or more apps at a time and ect. so idk :confused::confused: and im no begginer when it come to andriod phone i can root and make my own kitchen so my guess could be the radio but im no expert so idk
[EVO 4G General] strung:
attentions peoples

3g speeds fluctuate

there are over one billion other evo owners running speedtest with you slowing your tower down

you did not break your radio by flashing it

think about it

if it was truly broke

could you make calls

or get on the intarnat

probably not
[EVO 4G General] TheMemphisE:
I do not believe we Evo users are alone.I was running Cyanogen Mod 6 and my signal was at 1x while at work. I had previously gotten great signal there. I asked my friend with a Palm Pre, also on sprint, and he confirmed 1x only.
[HD2 General] alexslama:
Hi dear Friends,

I have a premium account of megaupload and if needed i can share all your ROM's and all the files in my account, i want to help, because your work is hard and wonderfull, and i want to participate too.

Sorry for my english, i´m Brezilien, and thanks a lot for all your wonderfull ROM's !!:)

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crown510:
Hi guys I wanted to go ahead and reload a different ROM. I had purehero 2.1 MOC (maps-oced) but I heard that the nonclocked version has better stability with wi-fi. I went ahead and tried to downgrade the rom without wiping and everything booted up fine. However wi-fi tethering was still not working I kept getting an error about unable to start wifi tethering etc. I went ahead and tried many roms (pure hero/alysious) all that wouldn't require wipe. I still kept getting same error. I went ahead and went to recovery I did a factory wipe/loaded rom and it just stays on the nexus X cross as if it's trying to boot but it doesn't it just keeps recyling over and over again. I went back to recovery and wiped data/factory and also dalvik cache ( i have a2sd enabled) then retried loading rom and same thing. I'm at the moment of wiping all mentioned plus eXt2 and reloading rom AGAIn. I hope this time it boots up.

Will something in my SD card possibly have my phone acting up the way it is? If so what solutions do u guys suggest? I hope after doing the last step I mentioned I can FINALLY log into my phone. At the moment i'm unable to do so. My aim name is crown510. If any of u can assist me I would appreciate it. Thank you!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamrock11:
I just recently rooted and started loading ROMs that support SetCPU to overclock. I was wondering if there was a way to overclock the Sprint HTC Hero without running someone's rom (like Fresh Toast)? The only reason I rooted was to make my phone less laggy but I hate all these ROMs/Mods because most of them are broken/incomplete and hate how I always have to wipe my phone to update//change ROM.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3FAULT:
Since lately I've been trying to do the exact same thing, I should be able to help.

You're going to have to root your phone (which you obviously already have done) and flash a kernel that allows OCing.

this is the only one I know of on this site: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=690238

However, that one did not work for me. (I was always stuck at the HTC boot screen). You should try it though, and if it doesn't work PM me and I'll PM you a link to another site that had a kernel that worked for me.. since I don't know if linking to other sites is allowed.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sierpinski13:
Sadly, the stock rom cannot be overclocked (for pretty obvious reasons.) Give Fresh Toast a try. I am running it without any problems. Toast's custom kernel makes it super fast. I also recommend using overclock widget with these settings:

Screen on: min: 576000 max: 768000

Screen off: min and max: 245800

just be sure to check "use my frequencies" and hit "detect frequencies" so the kernel does its job.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3FAULT:
The stock ROM CAN be OCed if you flash a custom kernel that allows it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamrock11:
I am currently running Fresh Toast, but after about 2 days of using it with SetCPU at 768000 max and 19200 min, my phone starts to get as laggy as before. I dont really know how to use SetCPU maybe I'm using it wrong, I just tapped the option where it chooses for you. Let me know what settings I should have it on if these are wrong.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamrock11:
How do I flash a custom kernel? What is a custom kernel? What is a kernel? Lol sorry, I am new to this.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3FAULT:
Well that min. is way too low imo. I use 633600 as my min. and it's fine.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D3FAULT:
Well I'm new too so I can only help a little.. lol.

You flash it the same way you flash a ROM I believe. Use the "flash from zip" or whatever it's called in recovery. Put the zip in the root of your sd card. You're going to want to put stock 2.1 on it again first though I think, unless you want to keep your current ROM.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamrock11:
lol i know how to flash roms and where to put em and stuff but what exactly is a kernel?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamrock11:
ok so if i use one of these: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=684838 or http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=690238 I can use the stock Android 2.1 AND overclock?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostileenviroment:
a kernal is the foundation of an os. all the system values are stored there, its like...the engine of the phone;from a software perspective.

id highly recomend darchworks. by far the fastest, and i promise youll never need an oc tool. just hope you dont mind kissing sense goodbye :)

happy flashing
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shamrock11:
I loved his ROM but I love sense and just can't give it up :/
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hostileenviroment:
im happy you liked it, because its the best :) jk!

you should know that in most cases, if your experiencing lag, sense is usually to blame. why dont you give zens slide port a go? sense with a whole lost more options and its definatly overclocked...iht it was the fastest sense rom ive ever used.

OpenVPN Settings Instructions

OpenVPN Settings v. 4.6 works flawlessly with this! Here are setup instructions:

Install OpenVPN Settings v. 4.6 from:

Can't post links yet, do a google search for OpenVPN Settings, go to the Google Code download page, and download version 4.6.

Then, launch OpenVPN Settings, press Menu -> Advanced, and fill in the following settings:

Load tun kernel module - Checked

TUN module settings:

Load module using - insmod

Path to tun module - /sdcard/openvpn/tun.ko

Path to configurations - leave default

Path to openvpn binary - /data/openvpn/openvpn

It should work beautifully then.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] johnnybags:
any way to do it with non certicate based connections? i.e., group/psk configs?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fang0654:
The certificate setup isn't important, it is just how mine is set up. Any valid .conf should work.

ifconfig error

i got it all installed , it connects, but then in the end it says fatal error, ifconfig failed, could not execute external program. any ideas
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fang0654:
You can run it manually to see what exactly is happening. Try the following:

adb shell

su

/data/openvpn/openvpn --config /sdcard/openvpn/client.conf

What generates the error?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dkhait:

and ifconfig is under /system/bin not /system/xbin/bb/. do you guys know where i need to change that?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fang0654:
The ifconfig stuff is hardcoded. I uploaded the wrong version - try this one.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dkhait:
Works perfectly

THANK YOU , works great
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] aaronjb:
Thanks very much for this! Will be trying it later today.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] johnnybags:
Fang - Thanks again. Do you have any suggestions on a util or tutorial on making a conf file? I've access to our Cisco ASDM for our ASA, the URL for the ASA, group name, Group key, and of course my username and pw.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] fang0654:
For that, you need vpnc instead of openvpn.

I know the problem with using the VPN Connections app is that the tun.ko autoload doesn't work. There are a couple of things you may be able to do as a workaround.

1. Load the module by hand:

adb shell

su

insmod /sdcard/openvpn/tun.ko

or 2. Use the OpenVPN Settings app from above to load the tun module (just start openvpn, then stop it), then try out the VPNC app.

I don't have a Cisco vpn so I don't have any way of testing whether this works.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] johnnybags:
Gets "failed to connect" immediately. know of any way to launch the vpn connections via command line to see where it is failing?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] aaronjb:
This worked like a charm! Thanks very much for this guide.

Stupid question, how do I get to a adb shell? I already rooted the phone. I don't have to do the rooting process all over do I?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] mattwood2000:
If your running Linux, just type "adb shell" in you terminal window - make sure your phone is connected via USB cable - you should get the "$" after this command and then your in your phone's shell.

I believe windows is the same way, but I only have Linux stuff running now...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] JellyRollz:
Thanks a lot for putting this together!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] PokerMunkee:
With the phone connected via USB (Disk drive or anything), I type "adb shell" and get device not found. I'm running Windows 7. Phone has been rooted (have Wifi Tethering installed). Just having issues getting it back to the shell command like when I first rooted it :/
