[EVO 4G Android Development] bkfitz:
I've rooted my EVO using unrevoked... got wifi tethering working and backed up all my apps with Titanium... now I want to delete all those crappy OEM apps that Sprint installs by default and doesn't give you the option to uninstall.

Is there a way I can uninstall these with regular root or do I need to go through the NAND access?

Thx!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jblazea50:
you can try uninstalling those apps using Titanium Backup; under the Backup/Restore tab, you can click on any app and it'll give you option to uninstall
[EVO 4G Android Development] bkfitz:
Thx for the suggestion, but it didn't work... I tried 'Sprint Navigation' as an example and I was able to click uninstall within Titanium Backup but upon reboot, it's back in the apps list and within Advanced Task Killer as an app that is auto loaded on boot. WTF!

Note: I also seem to be having a problem with Titanium Backup where every time I reboot it says "Sorry i could not acquire root" so I have to go to "Problems?" and re-download the BusyBox thing... then it works fine???

Install root explorer, browse to /system/apps, enable R/W access, then delete all the apps you want.

Is root explorer free? All I see is a pay version... can I do it with cmd and adb? Any idea why Titanium Backup loses it's root access each time?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jblazea50:
it's probably because you don't have full nandroid root

i get a "can't connect to phone" error and a black screen with silver HTC letters on it on the screen of my phone when trying to flash the latest stock RUU. this is after the updater reboots the phone to try and flash.

i ran some root technique a couple days after i got my EVO (stood in line @ 5:30am to boot!). don't remember what it was though. toasts orig root i guess.

then it ran that sd card update (which didn't work for me). dunno if any of this matters, but wanted to provide back story.

why can't i flash??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faust*:
Well depending on if you installed todays OTA update somehow changes my answer to your question.

For one if you did not install todays OTA update then the problem you are having is very commen and easily fixed. You'll notice that after it tells you there is no connection your phone should still be at the black screen with htc's logo. Without disconnecting or restarting your phone relaunch the RUU and go through it again. You should notice it will actually work the second time and eventually youll get a progress bar on your pc and eventually on the phone. This I am 90% certain should fix your problem. I've used the RUU numerous times and that has become standard procedure, although I don't understand why.

This will unroot your phone meaning you can then run unrooted or its now presentable if you have reason to take it in for replacement/warrenty issues.

But be warned! If you go back to stock in order to receive todays OTA update you will not be able to root your phone again using any current methods or files. Youll receive an error about the file being older than the new and wont be able to even partial root let alone get nand access.

On my end I unrooted today to test out the new features knowing full well I wouldn't be able to root again with the update installed. I figured I'd be able to use the RUU like you are because when it unroots a phone it takes it back to the default software from the day the phone was release but it was my luck that for whatever reason this new update effs up trying to use the RUU.

There are 2 ways of modifying your phone.

1) Root it. You get the benefits of being able to run apps that require root but don't have to unlock the bootloader.

2) Unlock it. Unlocking it lets you run different ROMs. Something other than the stock android. Example, Cyanogen Mod. It's a modified custom build of android with lots of nifty things. But it might void your warranty by Unlocking it.

I'd suggest just going with ROOTing it. It's easier, less fuss, less to worry about and it doesn't void the warranty.

Are you on skype?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guiri_too:
I got it from Negri Electronics and it IS unlocked already but NOT rooted.

I need to root it to get this font size program installed 'cause my eyesight sucks. That's really the main reason.

Yeah, I like nifty things too and I hate being tied down by locked stuff and so on so I'd like to open it and do whatever I want with it.

As for the warranty, I understood from Negri that HTC/Google covered the warranty and I THINK, that I could buy insurance through t mobile but checking on that.

Also, for those of you who are interested, Negri also sells t mobile contracts/by month contracts or whatever you call it.

No reason to Root or unlock the bootloader. If you have AT&T there is another thread with the instructions to manually update to Froyo

If you have T-Mobile it is actually done over a few steps, but really I expect the update to be OTA in the next week so if you are technology challenged you can wait a few more days

Hi there, i'm using a UK GSM Htc Hero and i have been patiently waiting for the 2.1 update to arrive! I noticed many people on here said the first update out of the two had arrived, and looking at the official HTC website, the actual 2.1 update is available. Now my problem is i'm using a standard Hero on 3, and i am yet to recieve any OTA updates at all!! my friend has a standard hero on T Mobile and hes already downloaded the first half of the update! what am i doing wrong???!!

thanks in advance, i am in the proccess of rooting right now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strider96:
Depends which network you are on...

If your are like me and stuck with T-mobile then I estimate a minimum of a week (they are testing it right now)

Orange: Expected in the "near future" again minimum of 1 week

Three: They confirmed it is going to be released Mid to late July...

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] int3rsc0p3:
Hi all,

I just replaced the LCD and Touchscreen on my Diamond, and I'm having problems with the phone waking up from standby. When I press the power button, the screen backlight lights up, but the images don't show. I've tried hard resets and reflashing the radio, but to no avail.

I thought it might be hardware issue, but the backlight responds, and it can wakeup from standby when I'm using XDAndroid. The screen also wakes up to the bootloader when I reflash a rom or radio in this state.

Should I try reflashing the bootloader?

Thanks.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faust*:
htc pulled the update because for a small number of users after applying the update they would not get the "update sucessfully installed" message and they would either search for the update and see it a second time or would get another message saying it was available again. Downloading and applying it a second time sometimes bricked the phone and it would not startup again. I had this happen to me today but thankfully after I installed it a second time it worked after a longer period with the bricking. HTC software engineers are looking into it.
