[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
i have a few ideas ...

did you apply ONLY the files in this thread or did you apply the official OTA update as prompted by your phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stylz3:
I just applied the file in this thread for the new radio. hope that bit of info helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
follow toast root part 2 regarding the flashing of misc with the mtd-end file.

flash_image misc mtd-eng.img

that will clear out the main version number which the radio.img updates. once that is done, you can flash using the RUU or whatever you want.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stylz3:
But I can't flash the pc36img. in toast root pt. 2. it says older version when in hboot and I have no recovery img so how could I flash_image misc mtd-eng.img
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
nothing in this thread should overwrite your recovery. why do you have no custom recovery?

have you tried flash_image from normal android mode with root access?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stylz3:
yes like I said I tried like everything. When I go ti recovery I just get a picture of the phone with an exclamation point. I was rooted before and running fresh ROM until I installed the radio from this thread. now I lost everything and can't get anything back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] urcboss07:
Man, I am on the same boat. I've tried everything and thread here, but It won't update the PC36IMG.zip. It keeps saying "Main Version is Older!". I also followed part 2 of toast both by pc and without pc, both are fail.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Varo210:
I had the same issue. I connected to a computer loaded the files for toastch's part 2, and then went in and did the part 2 again. I was initially freaked out by the triangle/exclamation picture until I went back into rom manager and reflashed clockworkmod recovery. That took care of that, then I had to do an "adb reboot recovery" command from the command prompt.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brownhornet:
Im in the same boat as the others... but how exactly would I go about doing this when anytime I try to do adb with the phone connected from the pc it says that the device is offline?
[EVO 4G Android Development] urcboss07:
Can you please post step by step instruction, how do you get into Rom Manager and clockworkmod recovery? please advise.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brownhornet:
And its crazy because I still have root... but cant do anything since I cant get into recovery to flash. Obviously there are a lot of us that did this and are stuck and im yet to see a real solution... and people keep saying do part 2 of toast but the phone wont even let me do adb in recovery, just says device is offline.:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] stylz3:
got that error too!! Man! same problems but no resolution.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
alright, all the steps are outline in different threads and posts on this board.

when you get the red exclamation mark, it means you have the stock recovery loaded.

if you still have root access and nand unlock, then there are a few different ways to approach this.

the easiest method, boot into normal android mode, grab the rom manager from the market. install the custom recovery from there and it should do it all for you.

the method i prefer, grabbed clockwork recovery in the update.zip format. when the red exclamation mark appears, hit volume up + pwr and it will load the menu. from there select apply update.zip. make sure the clockwork recovery is on your sdcard and named update.zip. it will then load his custom recovery. from there you can start flashing other .zip files.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brownhornet:
Been there done that... when you try to open the update.zip through the recovery it fails every time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
since your reply seems to imply you're experienced with this process, i'm gonna not gonna write this up at n00b level which can be found elsewhere.

if you're using the recovery flashed by the userdebug PC36IMG.zip (root part 1) or eng build PC36IMG.zip (root part 2), it will load the update.zip which contains clockwork recovery signed with the android test keys.

if that fails, it means you flashed an updated stock recovery thus preventing root access being obtained through recovery mode.

the next method is to boot into normal android mode. if you ran the eng build, root part 2, PC36IMG.zip previously, the nand should still be unlocked and if you had a previous custom ROM loaded, there should be an su binary on the /system/bin or /system/xbin still.

using both of those, su and nand unlock, flash the mtd-eng.img to the misc partition to overwrite the mainversion and allow flashing of PC36IMG.zip which contain an older mainversion.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Varo210:
Are you sure that USB debugging is turned on. Go into setup/applications/development and check. Then reboot the computer and the phone if necessary. It took a few tries, but I was able to connect again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] stylz3:
does anyone have a clockwork recovery update.zip that I can try out. The one I was able to find did not work. it say failed to verify whole-file signature, signature verification failed. Installation aborted.

OK! based on all the suggestions and possible solutions posted here, I can say I have lost root and nand is locked, yet I'm still stuck running Fresh ROM, but can't allow su permissions on any app that requires it. What gives?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tsowen:
wow so much just to update sheesh
[EVO 4G Android Development] mayfly82:
Can someone tell those of us that are having problems what could be the potential problem. It seems as though some of us lost our privileges and some didn't. I still have superuser permission application on my phone but when I try to use adb shell I get "$" and not the "#". Is there any way to restore a nand backup without the nand recovery because I do have a few of my back ups.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brownhornet:
Man the bottom line is we're screwed... there is no way I can see us going back to stock from this. I've tried EVERYTHING.. even the toast thing and get errors... cant do it from adb either... smfh had I known what I know now I would've stayed on the original stock rom and been content with it.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] legano:
I've found that the current stock battery for the HTC uni is simply too sh*t, that being said, i have purchased an extended battery (4800mAh)

I've had a few problems now. First and foremost, if i leave it to charge overnight or similar, it will say 100%, but if i unplug the charger, it will say 31%. What the f*ck.

I ran some tests on it (batterybench.net) and i seem to get 241 minutes with only radio on. That doesn't seem right for a battery of this capacity.

I also purchased a 3200mAh battery and encountered similar problems in regards to runtime. Is there something wrong with my phone? I've turned off beam and all that, underclocked, bla bla, i still seem to struggle. Any ideas? :confused:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] karan999:
thats not a device battery problem.

your charger is faulty.

charge your device via usb(connect to your computer) and when it shows 100% be on the battery screen only and then plug usb.

else flash another rom and see,if you are still not satisfied.

i faced this problem earlier with my htc adapter for my htc gene(p3400i).

So its not a battery problem. ;)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] legano:
Thanks, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to solve the problem.

Newbie question - I had installed unRevoked last week on my stock EVO to try out the wi-fi tether app. My device does not seem to have recieved the update today. Shouldn't I be able to force it through Settings --> System Updates --> HTC Software update ??

Or does the fact that I have unRevoked block it?

I tried uninstalling unRevoked, but it still looks like I can't force the update?

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
You will loose root if you apply it.

[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
a question

I've been following the 'how to gain root access after OTA' thread and have a question, but they don't want people posting anything not DIRECTLY RELATED to hacking after OTA there anymore. So, I will try this question here. Here goes :

I have NOT done the 1.47.651 June 29 OTA update, I keep refusing it. My Evo is essentially stock (no rooting, no unrevoked, etc. ) I would like to know if I can run unrevoked since I haven't done the OTA. also, would like to know if I can do the OTA and STILL run unrevoked. Or do I need unrevoked2?

I've been to unrevoked Twitter page and unrevoked docu.wiki and see some information, (but not enough for someone new to Android like myself), and no way to ask/post questions directly. So, I am trying here. My main interest isn't even so much root, it's that I want to be able to tether via USB without having to use extra software like PDAnet.

Any help or a point in the right direction, much thanks.

Scott
[EVO 4G General] pdlboy:
Yes.

No.

You need to use unrevoked2 and use their modified OTA which will give you the benefits and maintain root. If you install the official OTA at any point, you will lose the ability to root, period (until someone figures out a new way to do it :) )
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
Thank you. You even broke it into separate questions. ;) last clarification, I promise: with no OTA I CAN use unrevoked1 and that doesn't break 4G/not what's being blamed for breaking 4G?

I'm not too concerned with most of the root features, I just wanna be able to tether, so I'm thinking unrevoked1 would be good enough for me, (if It's not what's responsible for breaking 4G on non-updated devices)

Thanks again.

is the 2005 HBOOT ending danger SPL?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
1.33.2005

And it is NEVER required.

The reason people have used that SPL is to alter the PARTITION TABLE -- reducing the CACHE partition and taking the difference and applying to system and userdata.

TOTALLY CUSTOM partition tables are now possible using ANY SPL AT ALL!

Read this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=704560

The two BEST SPLs to use are these:

0.95.3000 -- stock ADP1 pseudo-engineering SPL,

1.33.2003 (ending with a THREE) -- full-engineering SPL just like 0.95.3000, but stronger -- allows you to fastboot flash the radio and spl (not that you would need to change the SPL after this one is installed).

The most UNdesirable SPLs: 0.95.0000, 1.33.0xxx (where x is any number). These are *consumer* SPLs and are locked out -- no fastboot available.

*note: in the 1.33.0xxx, typically, the HIGHER the value of "xxx", the worse it is -- I forget what number it starts with, but at a certain point, gold cards are disabled, making gaining root access far from trivial.

Any SPL 1.33.2005 or higher is a full engineering SPL, but also qualifies as a deathSPL due to the chances of getting bricked.
[EVO 4G General] willy900wonka:
https://twitter.com/unrevoked

Reports that the OTA has a major issue which if accidentally applied twice bricks.

Hi everyone,

There are very few options sadly, Vodafone NZ and Orcon (depending on your model of Hero you may be able to use Telecom NZ). I am currently on Vodafone NZ which have prepaid and post paid plans. No matter which plan you go on you can add 100mb for $10. Their "smartphone" specific plans can be found here but as you are only coming for a few months then it doesn't make sense. http://www.vodafone.co.nz/shop/plansOnAccount.jsp;ATG_SESSION_ID=pHs1MPnXQbn2zZJgplJjSvHbvtyHcQcTwy1wpPnpyv0d2NghpS4h!1018025480!2040597205?plantype=mobile&billingMethod=onAccount&planSegment=consumer&productGroupItemId=grp74400002&menuKey=mnit1400020

Your best bet may be to go with Orcon (they piggyback on Vodafone network anyway). Their prices are here http://www.orcon.net.nz/mobile/plans

Personally I'm on Vodafone and have a $30 + $10 (for 100mb) plan as i am near WiFi 90% of the time.

Linux Live CD

I know Ubuntu is much easier to get ADB running. But, I edited the file to add the Vendor ID:

sudo leafpad /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules

In the file, which leafpad created, I typed these two lines for the Kindle Fire 2:

SUBSYSTEM==”usb”,SYSFS{idVendor}==”0x1949″,MODE=”0666″​

SUBSYSTEM==”usb”,SYSFS{idVendor}==”1949″,MODE=”0666″​

For HTC, the code is "0bb4"

So, use:

SUBSYSTEM==”usb”,SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″,MODE=”0666″​

I saw 0x1949 in the windows .ini file, and most Linux VIDs were just four digits, so I did both...

Worked like a charm. There's a great tutorial for ADB on Ubuntu / Xubuntu
