Thanks

Thanks for the hard work devs. Cant wait (actually I can, but colloquialisms are fun) to try this out in new roms. We appreciate all your efforts in helping everyone do whatever they want with their phones.

ALL CHEERS TO THE DEVS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
lol, yup patiently waiting. My phone is running great right now. As awesome as the update might be, you can't expect the devs to work around your schedule ya know? We're probably in the minority who are actually patient about this kind of thing.

new to android

Ok i know that i am going to get flamed for saying this, and i'm sorry.

i am brand new to android and i did the update as soon as i got the notification not knowing what it could do to my root.

i had the unrevoked semi root method and now it is gone (i now know the folly of my actions), is it possible to undo the update by doing a hard reset of my evo? if no, please give a brief description why so that i can avoid being labeled a TARD in the future. :D

Thank you for helping answer a question.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ktulu909:
Also being reported at SU that HDMI has settings option under display to output 720 or 480.That would be helpful for those of us having compatibility issues with certain TVs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] telugite:
same with me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
You shouldn't get flamed. The unrevoked method wasn't true root access because it would not stick if you restarted your phone. Regrettably, the only way to avoid breaking root is not to update. Next time, patiently follow the forums and wait for the xda gods to add root to the update.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
same as earlier

the .zip file linked is probably only for DEV use, not for average users.

im pretty sure custom recoverys are not designed to work with HTC's OTA update.zip files...

i could be wrong but thats 2 for 2 people tryin to apply it thru a custom recovery and its not working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] psych2l:
Also patiently waiting for a rom with this baked in, hopefully flipz 0.5 public release wink wink nudge nudge :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] mdroll:
Thank you for the kind answer, i am also new to xda and i am still in awe of the dev gods that reside here. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] crackerstyle:
You could just get the exe file to flash yourself back to .6 then redo the unrevoked method if you wanted.

You can find the exe here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=685835&highlight=1.32.651.6

Get that and run it from your PC while your phone is connected to it. That will flash you back to 1.32.651.6 software version. Then you can reapply unrevoked if you want. You will lose all your data though so back up if you can.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
Is there any way to revert back to stock recovery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ewells38:
+1, waiting for the Pro's to take care of this ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
Apparently, I'm wrong. I'm new to all of this as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
easy way: flash the RUU .6 .exe (will wipe data and everything)

advanced way: here are the steps (in my theory) assuming you've applied the eng build PC36IMG.zip:

get a hold of the rom .zip from the .6 RUU. extract the recovery.img. put it on the sdcard

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
[EVO 4G Android Development] huoter:

Nice find. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] arielb27:
Just a quick update. Calkulin release is a 150mb file which works on odex roms, not deodex types.

If your using deodex files you will need to wait just a bit more.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joackie27:
Unfortunately he said that if the ROM that you are using now is deodexed, you'll have issues with this as this is stock odexed version. So we'll just have to wait still for the devs to incorporate this OTA update into their ROMs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] b1indsided:
wait so if im rooted on a stock rom i can use Calkulin's root update??
[EVO 4G Android Development] Beejis:
Supposedly someone flashed Calkulins OTA update and it broke his NAND full access, I'd hold out for a bit...

[EVO 4G Android Development] akiradavis:
I can definitely wait until the devs handle this. Now that i am running at 50fps i can't go back to stock...this thing is super fast, no need to risk losing this speed to some update i won't see a huge benefit from. To all newbies like me, patience is key. :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
I'm tempted to flash this and find out... worse case scenario I take my phone back for "light leakage" and the defective battery it came with.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lafrad:
And they give you a replacement with a fully un-rootable rom ;-)

tread lightly everyone. the WORST part is having to stay with stock stuff...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrmomoman:
I just posted this on the other forum. I used JoeyKrim's ODEX 1.08 ROM. Flash the update and root remained. Almost everything is good except now I can't get 4G where I would normally get 3 bars. It is just scanning.

I know the radio is not updated with the Rooted OTA 1.47 ROM. It keep the baseband the same at the moment. I have the new Radio baseband but I will hold out until I can get confirmation that its okay.

Wireless Tether still works, etc. ROM Manager, Tit. Backup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] OgremustCrush:
Except that this OTA is supposed to fix the touch lag - so it should FEEL faster. The current fps fix is really hacky and might not actually be actually affecting the real fps anyway, it says so right in the OP of that thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
Doesn't matter to me. I've been having so many problems with Sprint's data network that if this radio update doesn't fix it, I'm returning the phone and canceling anyway. I spent 3 1/2 hours on the phone with Sprint advanced tech yesterday... ironically, from my AT&T phone....... to fix the data on my Evo. Apparently they are getting calls from all over and its primarily the Evo that is experiencing outages...
[EVO 4G Android Development] lafrad:
Yea, my experience has been the exact opposite of that. My EVO(s) has pulled down the best 3G *anything* of anyone I know in the area... even compared to other sprint users.

I'm looking forward to the tweaks the new OTA is rumored to provide, but I like the root too much to go for it and risk losing it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
Sprint used to have the most robust 3G network of any carrier in Denver... but they've had so many data and tower outages I just can't stand it.

Ironically, I went from my usual 1 bar in my house to 5 yesterday... why? Because 2 of the FIVE towers within 2 miles of my house went down so there was less signal interference...
[EVO 4G Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
Considering that when I flashed the stock RUU and then the .6 update, when it came back up it immediately started downloading the new update without prompting for my permission, I imagine that hboot has been modified... I guess I'll find out. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jspielberg:
I have to agree (or disagree depending on who I am replying to), about the quality of the Sprint coverage.

Coverage up near Boulder (Louisville actually) has been excellent. I am getting regularly around 2mbps downloads with the speedtest app. One can only hope that the network problems in Denver are due to the 4G upgrade buildout scheduled to be complete by the end of the year.

That being said... at 2mbps up here, I am tempted to cut my comcast line and use 3G for home surfing (using wired or wireless tethering). I am selfishly not discouraging friends who are thinking about upgrading to the new iPhone to do so... keep them off our towers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
The speedtest app is horribly inaccurate...

Try the 25MB test at www.testmy.net or go to speakeasy.net/speedtest and use the flash speed test...

But I'm jealous of you because when I left Sprint in February, I got 2.2Mbps CONSISTENTLY on my Touch Pro 2... now I come back for the Evo in June and have never seen speeds above 1.5... And was averaging .3 yesterday, when it would work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
I flashed and hboot has not been updated. Data arrows are BROKEN... no send/receive, data speed seems to be more consistent and doesn't lag as much. Haven't tested wifi yet.

I'm going to try to re-root with toast and see if they patched it. I have a feeling they did it through the radio update and not hboot but I'll find out and report back.

As I suspected, the radio update to 2.0 broke root. So, don't install the full update if you want to keep root. It didn't do crap for wifi anyway... still shows 1 bar to my router that's like 20 feet away...
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
phandroid is reporting the ota is bricking some users phones. reports to phandroid indicate that both some of those that rooted and some of those that did not are being affected.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
It only bricks phones if they install the update, reboot, search for the update again, and install the second update.

here is a post taken from the sprint tech internal bulletin

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/new...ll-not-power-on-after-ota-update-to-1-47-651/

Issue Title: HTC EVO 4G - Device will not power on after OTA update to 1.47.651.1

Posted Date: 6/28/2010

Issue Type: Known Issue

Description:

An issue has been identified where a very small number of devices may be unable to power on after update to 1.47.651.1.

This issue is caused when the user successfully updates to 1.47.651.1 then quickly forces another update check before the "Update successful" message appears.

Action: Educate

The EVO 4G MR version 1.47.651.1 has been temporarily pulled down from the HTC software update servers pending a fix for this issue.

im running the update and im still rooted i did the calhun or w/e his name was no offense just dont feel like checkin but it threw me into boot loops with the sprint screen so i went to recovery screen and did a data wipe / factory reset and im fine now..battery life is better touch input is better voice recognition is even better.

[EVO 4G Android Development] richiv:
Guys,

Please forgive me if I ask any stupid questions.

I am coming over from the iPhone and finding this rooting thing a lot tougher.

I had my phone rooted by someone that has rooted many evo's and I want to go back to him but he lives pretty far from me.

Today I received the message from Sprint and decided to download but got the error that it didn't work and I had the message come up a couple times that it needed to install it and never accepted it.

Problem I am having is that my wi fi is not working at all on my phone but works perfectly fine on my wifes and her phone is not rooted.

Any help or suggestions would be grealty appreciated.

Looks like the phone was rooted using Unrevoked
[EVO 4G Android Development] leeh41:
I would recommend reflashing the stock ruu, and rooting yourself with the guides found here(use toast's root, many dont consider unrevoked a real root). You can learn and lot, and it would help you to troubleshoot any problems you have. Sorry, I don't have much insight on your wifi issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] richiv:
Thank you!

Will try and give it a shot.

Probably another stupid question.

Is there a tutorial on how to reflash the stock ruu?

Just trying to learn guys
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
best way to learn is to learn from the pros who have wrote the guides and posted the files. using the search feature will help you learn!

look thru this board for the threads on the RUU. they provide the files and history of successful methods plus pitfalls to watch out for.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vedavin:
I was running fresh 0.3...........did a wipe and installed this OTA......everything looks good so far.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] evoxsin:
How did you install with custom loader? Or stock booting screen? I downloaded the file from the first post n renamed it to "update" and then u placed the zip in my sd root. Then I went to the stock booting screen and went to recovery mode and I got the exclamation super imprinted over an evo image black screen. I did not sucessfully update. Fyi I'm not rooted. How can I install the zip? Fyi.1 I don't care to b rooted at the moment because I will be exchanging this device soon for one with out screen leeakage due to backlight.

Can any one tell me how to install the zip.

Gracias

Anyone try the update with freshevo 0.5.3
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
that was yesterday, then the OTA update was pulled and released again today.

my phone is telling me the update is 30.4mbs in size. im grabbing it now.

it would appear to be different than the OTA released yesterday? has anybody looked into this?

edit: at a quick glance everything appears the same except the radio update portion. before it was a .diff and now it is a complete .img inside of the firmware.zip file.

this is the same method first OTA released on june 4th used.

im assuming this complete radio.img file will now properly update the baseband version in the about phone.

any other insights?
[EVO 4G Android Development] johnnybeans78:
I Updated 6/29/10

My phone was never rooted and i did the update (round 2 version)

build#: 1.47.651.1 CL195459 release-keys

software 1.47.651.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
would you want to try either or two root methods to see if they work after the official update? i haven't seen anybody confirm one way or the other.

either the userdebug RUU (toast part 1) and eng build RUU (toast part 2) or the unrevoked2?

if not, no pressure. hopefully somebody adventurous can run the official OTA and see if it blocks our two best methods of root eaccess!

It should be android 2.1...the latest Chungwa update was numbered 3.31.751.1(and it was also android 2.1) , so logically 3.34.721.r should be also.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] avs333:
Looks you're in trouble, friend...

I'd first try to find some other official release of 3.32 series (those were reported to permit downgrade to 2.73.405.5 after them).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] deepinderjitsingh:
man none of the other 2.1 RUU's aint working now..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mystaka:
finally managed to get this Hong Kong ROM working with my european Hero upgraded to Taiwanese 2.1. Here's what I did.

1) Install RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE_release_signed_NoDriver.exe in a computer

2) While the software is running, go to C:\Users(使用者)\(Login Name)\Appdata\Local\Temp\, and find the newest folder,

3) copy the rom.zip and rename to HEROIMG.zip

4) move HEROIMG.zip to a microSD card

5) insert the card to Hero

6) boot the phone with volume down key pressed

7) follow the instruction, so the rom is downgrade to 1.5

I'm not sure if steps 1-7 were necessary. And let's continue:

8) Goldcard your micro-SD card (Click here to learn more about Gold Card)

9-15) Using RUU_Hero_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_3.34.721.1_R_Radio_63.18.55.06P_6.35.15.14_release_signed, Repeat steps 1) to 7) with the Micro-SD (GoldCard).

It worked for me. I will try with an unrooted phone later (maybe tomorrow)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hilwood:
thx for sharing, it's very useful :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] casca:
that part was easy to do...just use the "standard" goldcard procedure and the ruu.exe file :)

I have also a European Hero and installed the Chungwa version, no problem witg that...

The real problem is reverting back from Chungwa or any Asian version to European WWE again...

it seem as though when I zoom in on a photo (8MP) taken with the htc camera app, and viewed with photos app, the pic quality is better when I zoom all the way in compared to this apk. It was more distorted with this apk...

I used a photo of my car near the lawn and when I viewed the photo in full zoom, the blades of grass were sharper with photos app, than this gallery apk.

anyone knows why?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] ReshF:
It's a pretty cool app but the pics are obviously not in 24 bits

It's not from the screen, I can get pretty good colors gradation if I stay in 480x800 on my Desire, but with this froyo app all of them sucks, I have only 30 steps of greys between black and white ! I think it's not 16 but 12 bits colors or worse !... Seriously, in 2010, android looks ridiculous with that...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] krelvinaz:
The other version was better, allowed picking up other outside pics (picasa) and seems a lot faster.

I don't bother or use 8mb pic's since I use them for web work and 8mb images are way too large for that, so that part doesn't matter much.

In my experience, the 3D Gallery requests access to your Google account after it is installed and run for the first time. You will get a message in your notifications After you grant it access, it fetches all of your Picasa albums.

Virtual keyboards might be sometimes hard to use because you can only use one button at the time and this is the main reason why people prefer multitouch virtual keyboard which the Motorola Droid X does have. It’s a lot easier and faster to use multitouch keyboard because you can press and hold shift key if you want to use uppercase letters.

Hi,

I would like to keep my voicemails when I am trying out other roms. I have a Nand backup & when I restore to Fresh 03 (what I use the most) I have my voicemails. I am guessing they are located somewhere on the internal storage vs the SD card.

Is there a way to backup & restore those files as well? I would guess I could copy them from \voicemails (or where ever they are) to \sd\richtj99\data, then copy them back once I flashed?

Thanks
