Yeah the new Evos come with the OTA aleady applyed I just talked to the sprint store there is no way around it DAMN IT if someone came up with root soon I would even pay more then the 20$ i already paid sounds like its hit or miss with the old software
[EVO 4G Android Development] entropism:
Just for the record I have a list of about 150 people (new acts and upgrades) waiting for phones. Replacement devices are very low on the totem pole, so no, I can't do much for you guys. If you have any specific questions, let's not clutter this thread, just PM me.

Anyways, back on track: if they let me get an EVO soon, I'll be donating as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
590 thats insane !
[EVO 4G Android Development] spinkteck:
i got lucky they didnt update mine, my bro bought 2 evo last week and when they activated his phone and they update'd it on him thank god i told him not to activate mine. now im just waiting on the root so i can root his and get his wifi tetherin to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] spinkteck:
what ever the bty is... they deserve it, even if it goes to 2k+

hehe
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Yep, exactly what I said on the first page. My bud got one from Best Buy few days ago with this lovely 1.47 on it.

Agreed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
You replace phones directly? You don't go thru Asurion? Interesting. Sptin's TEP and ERP both go through Asurion.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Minigtr:
Im sorry but whats the link to the donation.....my moms phone came 1.32 then some foreign call center told her to update less than 10 mins before i was able to touch the new unboxed EVO!! ARRGGGG! i was going for a personal record four EVOs root by toasts method w/o instructions..

Sprint OTA update info

Does anyone have a copy of a Sprint OTA update file and a network dump of the update process? Any other info on how the OTA process works? (i.e. where they get dropped, what they're named, what process detects and runs them, etc...)

It seems like it might be possible to spoof a Sprint server (using your own DNS server and/or iptables ip redirect) and then send a custom OTA update that just drops a setuid program or shell script. Has anyone tried something like this before or know of a definite reason why this wouldn't work? Are the OTA updates signed? I guess that might be a deal-breaker. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] fallentimm:
This thread really dropped open aspect off finding a fix and now every deV is working independently. Look in root thread its dead now.

For example I have a few private exploits built for arm I'm running now but you can bee sure I'm not going to give any info out anymore. Could have used another devs eyes but not anymore. You can bee sure this slowed progress
[EVO 4G Android Development] scooter185:
no selfish developers will slow progress, developers who would be willing to split the $ to help make the Evo better would not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fallentimm:
Well I'm pretty close with a unreleased kernel exploit on 2.6.29 it actually effects up to .32. Its working just can't get it to fire a su because it doesn't exist and chmid it in data local still won't run

will need to fire some other proggy as root which is working fully in my test case.

ThatBeing said no I will not want to split it after working a full day on it. It would have been fixed by the community off money wasn't a factor because I would haber posted sploit hours ago now there's no way. Look in root thread if you don't believe I was close days ago joeykrim even agreed

Post 204 in root thread. July 3rd at 6am has some info on track I went. Neither of those are it tho. Here it is 2 days now nobody else close...
[EVO 4G Android Development] chumba8:
funny my local store said the same thing 150+ people waiting BUT they said since my phone is a I/O evo it has to be replaced with there replacement phones and they come in 3 days or sooner I am just going to buy a already rooted evo and sell mine that got screwed up
[EVO 4G Android Development] nonamejay:
Im just going to pray my Evo replacement that comes Saturday doesn't come with the new 1.47 but i have confidence in the developers here. If they can break the root once im sure after a little tinkering and hard work they can do it again. I will surely donate at least $40 to the person or persons who can.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
...........................................................
[EVO 4G Android Development] fallentimm:
I wasn't in for money at first. Now its there why would I split it? Id rather put it off days Till its right/have time to finish cuz I'm sure nobody else has the exploit database I have unless they are security professionals by trade.

PlusThe ammount keeps going up. More we push it off more we get. Why finish early?

That being said nobody since my post is even on right track. Look there all talking about breaking hash signatures that will NEVER work. Yes this really made things competitive with high amounts of money
[EVO 4G Android Development] chumba8:
man if your that close I would be happy to add another 100$ dollars if i KNEW for sure root was comming like tomorrow I was going to sell my evo and buy a already rooted updated evo and lose 100$ so whats the diffrence but it would have to be sooner then later so i dont blow my other deal :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] scooter185:
i'm sure if you released a working root right this minute, people would continue to donate to you besides this pool. You do far more harm than good by waiting and will likley get rewarded as much. As far as splitting the money goes, if you worked with one other developer you'd (theoretically) each get 300$. That's not too bad as both of you would still get continuing donations from the community.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kyen99:
Agreed! Maybe the mods should ban the bounties as this clearly stifles innovation here.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chumba8:
yeah i would donate 100$ right now for root
[EVO 4G Android Development] fallentimm:
A days worth of work is not worth 300... 600 maybe. My problem is I would never have put the time in to start I would have released to community for everyone else to work on.

PIlus know no othet devs here. What if I gave it out and they took it all? Not going to hsppen
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonathaflores:
the name of this thread should be change, no $ value should be on it, it just wrong, like this we would never have root!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kthejoker20:
/inj

lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Well it's clear some disagree with this thread and donating money to those who develop root for us all.

Would everyone like to close this thread down and end it right now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
I kinda want too stop the donation, we already have one dev saying he's in it for the money and not interested in splitting it.

It does seem like it may have become counter productive...either that or HTC has really put up an update that can't be cracked!

**edit** I don't in any way mean the devs shouldn't be getting donations for their work, they absolutely should! But doing it in this way seems like it creates competition that isn't really friendly
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:

[EVO 4G Android Development] entropism:
The only time you go through Asurion is if your phone has liquid, physical, fire damage, loss, theft, or in generally destroyed by your own fault and you pay a $100 deductible. For manufacturer's issues, you go through Sprint's warehouse or a Sprint service and repair store (of which I work in one) and the replacement is free.

You can tell it's an Asurion phone because A: there's a sticker inside the phone's battery compartment saying so and B: Sprint stores won't work on it, they send you back to Asurion for a replacement.
[EVO 4G Android Development] maddmatt02:
just picked mine up on 7/3 and its build 003 and its software 1.32.651.6
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3b055:
Same, got mine that same day as well. Got it at Best Buy. First thing I said before we sat down and did anything, I told them that if they updated the phone without my approval that I would get up and leave and that I did not want to explain why. Worked and as soon as I got home, rooted that bad boy :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] jrdejavux:
steelH happy to see someone claiming the price! i hope everybody pays tho :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] danlock1:
would like to give what i can as well...post root because of hard work....fast!

I have been working on the root just released...am on a mac...trust this forum and appreciate everyone's hard work...hope one day I will be able to give back a bit more :)

I am a bit of a poor unemployed student..but am willing to give $10, wish I could give more, I know the devs put in a lot (and deal with impatient people who want it now) and appreciate it all! Send me pm and I will pay immediately! And yes I realize there is already a method..all the same the devs deserve it, especially after all so many, "can I root after OTA..." threads...and responding them to them...always have seen them respond respectfully. I certainly learned the lesson of not OTA'ing on android :p

PS please let me know before or after a confirmed root, am in it for the work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Thanks for the info. Asurion is currently shipping from the same place my original Sprint EVO came from. I don't think that's a coincidence, I think Asurion doesn't have any refurbs to ship[ yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] okolowicz:
I am using a mac and can confirm that it worked perfectly. I am not back to running Fresh 0.5.3
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
paid my $10
[EVO 4G Android Development] elegantai:
Who did it? I missed that part last night :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] h40:
Rooted my phone within hours of this release.

I'll think twice before going back to stock and running OTA!

Paid my share, thanks a ton!
[EVO 4G Android Development] entropism:
They do not, and neither do Sprint. As of right now, any "refurbs" you get from a Sprint repair store is a brand new EVO shipped in a plain white box. Warning: info may be outdated as soon as this post is made.
[EVO 4G Android Development] danlock1:
My share

Hi,

Unfortunately I can only give $10 but because of what is my bad, and cross posting maybe?...anyway...let me know how to pay the devs. Thanks so much to all for working hard and also appreciating it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jrmithdobbs:
I can confirm that this is what I received on Tuesday for my replacement.

Still running 1.32.651.1 too, so long as you have them *SHIP IT TO YOUR HOUSE* instead of the store. (Not that that matters now.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] snake411:
has there been a new way to root the phone with the update? ive been reading this thread and its l.ike 12+ pages long, so plz dont be mad cuz i Asked a stu[id question.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snake411:
and another quick question.. what if i restore my evo to factory default setting, will the 1.47 update go away? i had one of the first phones w/o the 1.47 as the default software...

yes

no

[EVO 4G Android Development] nebenezer:
My cousin got his replacement via FedEx today. It came in a plain box which included the phone, a non oem battery, and a battery cover and that's it. No charger, no manual, nothing. It also had a big fat sticker on the back that said "remanufactured"... he's pissed...
[HTC Aria General] McFinigan90:
I didn't see any threads about changing the default boot screen so I thought I'd make a short one, as the process is a little different from other Android phones.

First of all, you'll need root and adb

Next, you'll need a custom animation. The below threads have some good ones that will work with the Aria:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=623960

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=697527

(Whatever you use you'll need to rename it to "bootanimation.zip")

Copy your custom bootanimation to the root of your C: drive. (C:\bootanimation.zip)

The default bootanimation.zip is located in /system/media

Put your device into recovery by issuing:

adb reboot recovery

Once recovery loads:

adb shell

mount /system

rm /system/media/bootanimation.zip

exit

Now that the old bootanimation is deleted, you can push your new one

adb push C:\bootanimation.zip /system/media

And that's it. Reboot your device and you'll see the animation that you just loaded :D
[HTC Aria General] gh0stshell:
probably a stupid question, how do i push? still a n00b to droid, but not Linux, Blackberry, iPhone, WinMo.
[HTC Aria General] kevina90:
there is a boot animation thread. the only thing we dont have is how to change splash screen. (htc logo green and white background)
[HTC Aria General] ioft:
You will need to use ADB which is part of the Android SDK. It can be found at:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

There are many threads on XDA that explain it's use, as well as help files online.
[Droid Incredible Accessories] marcmarshall:
So we know that the amoled screens on our Incredibles are not the best in the day light. That said does anyone have any opinion on what is the best type of screen protector for viewing in bright sun?
[Droid Incredible Accessories] kborer22:
I have a zagg invisible shield installed and there does seem to be slightly better in the sun that what i have seen for some people, in moderate sunlight anyway. In direct sunlight it's still nearly impossible to see.

Zagg +100% screen brightness = slightly better than naked device
[Droid Incredible Accessories] Jonathan062:
Zagg stinks

I bought a zagg at best buy for like 20+ tax and it was orange peeled. + the worst thing is they feel rubbery. I bought these http://www.handhelditems.com/product_info.php?products_id=134316 and they are awesome. 2 weeks and not a mark on it. and they are so thin you cant tell its even on there. also there is film on front with a tab for putting it on. you will see if you get them. they work great.

Hello forum members,

"ve got a problem , i've flashed mij P3450 and everything is working accept for the sleep, the sleep timer is configured at 2 minutes but when it is supposed to go into sleep mode it resets.

Also when i press the power button at the top of the device it resets.

I've searched this forum, updated de IPL and SPL to 2.27 and 2.28 and that is not solving my problem.

It is getting me crazy tried for hours , flashed new ROm but windows is working OK , i can make calls with the device but the sleep mode is causing a reboot.

Can somebody help me out please.

Greetz Ronald.
[Touch GSM General] ronald1368:
Replying to my own post.

Because i have solved the issue.

I've downloaden the Device Info Tool and let it run on mij HTC P3450 and it seems to be and elfin instead of a elf.

I use the BLUEROM V.3.0 flashed is (after using USPL) and tested it and it now work like a charm, goed in en out of sleep without any problem.

So for all you guys having the same problem , look closely at what kind of P3450 you have and flash the right kind of rom in the device and it works.

I replaced mine and it has the Epson screen... it was due to the update bricking my Wifi, 4g and Hotspot radios... literally. My GF has the launch day 002 EVO and I 100% prefer the Epson screen... much better IMO. Noticeably heavier though. Also, the plastic at the top above the grill is kinda sharp to the ear.
[EVO 4G General] evoxsin:
I was told that if u do return it to the store u would most likely get a reconditioned/refurbished unit. I will be exchanging mine after the new 004 is released to the public under HTC"s one year warranty.

[EVO 4G General] jrdejavux:
whats the epson screen deal and how can i tell what screen mine has?
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
My 30 days are up today been waiting to try and exchange locally but they never have them in stock whenever I go so I called up Sprint and explained the situation. They added the TEP on to my account, said they couldn't do an outright exchange today because I was still in my 30 days but they would be able to tommorow. The rep is supposed to call me to set it up and send one out to me tommorow. Was pretty happy with the service, tried to add the TEP back to my account (had canceled it because didn't want to pay the 7 a month) but I couldn't because once you cancel it you can't add it again, the website greys out the option and tells you you cant, however the rep did it for me no problem. I think I will leave it on there for awhile, overall really happy with the service from Sprint so far. Hopefully I get an EVO with Epson screen!
[EVO 4G General] tlordon:
I got my evo at Corp Store (i240 svc rd/ sante fe) on 6/4

the screen broke and i replaced it at same store on 6/23

and i got a bunk one so i got on the waiting list on the 23rd at 33rd Broadway corp store and was called almost week later to get my replacement.

so i am on my 3rd evo from corp stores.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
Policy is they can only exchange it once, how u got three?
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
How the Hell best buy get them faster?
[EVO 4G General] distortedloop:
Could't do an outright exchange in your first 30 days? Sounds like bullcrap to me. I called Sprint's customer service line and told them my EVO was defective, they said, and I quote, "Of course we can exchange for a new phone since you're in your 30 day trial period." They offered that up, I didn't ask.

Funny how everyone gets different answers to the same issue.
[EVO 4G General] Sirchuk:
I returned the individual got on release on Friday, July 2nd due to the screen separation issues at a Sprint store. I got a 003 with an Epson screen, couldn't be happier with how the exchange worked out.

I've heard of people going through 5 phones at bestbuy, so I think they still have the 002's.

Posted via XDA Android app from Evo
[EVO 4G General] tlordon:
well

1st phone was original purchase.Returned/replaced under Normal 30day Policy

2nd phone was defective out of box so i had to wait for 3rd to come in and thats what im on.

had they said no i would have just fully returned it all.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
SHIIT, MY 30 days up this thursday, if cs cant overnight me or two to three day me a evo, im returning mine, cause the corp stores here stop taking people on the waiting lists.
[EVO 4G General] jjlee:
went to the local corp store today (initially ordered off of sprint.com), told them that my screen was starting to separate and that my phone was rebooting on its own since the last update (second part is BS). They told me they don't have any in, but to bring it in so the tech can look at it and fill out a form for me to get on the list or whatever.. Got there and they told me "oh we must have gotten a shipment" and replaced my phone w/ a new 003 (build date 6/14/10). No light leakage, and when the rep handed me the phone, it was 90% done downloading the new update so I canceled it quick, so going to start rooting.
[EVO 4G General] JUST2SUAVE:
they had a tech in store?
[EVO 4G General] Sirchuk:

[HTC Aria Android Development] sfernandez:
Here are 2 different way to get new BOOTANIMATION. Special thanx 2 ibussa & attn1 for helping me with this.

IF YOU ARE FLASHING NEW ROM AND WANT TO CHANGE ANIMATION WITH THE NEW FLASH

1. Open the ROM of your choose.zip

2. Navigate to System\Media and look for bootanimation.zip

3. Extract the original boot animation

4. Open it and delete the bootanimation.zip file, copy the new one of your choose or drag it the new one in.

5. Put Rom.zip on SD card.

6. Reboot into recovery.

7. Install zip and wait for it to finish.

IF YOU ALREADY HAVE ROM AND JUST CHANGING BOOT ANIMATION

1. Copy the NEW bootanimation.zip of your choice in SDK Folder

2. Open up CMD

3. cd C:\AndroidSDK\tools (or were ever you SDK files are)

4. adb remount

The filesystem is mounted read only. You need to mount it read/write.

5. adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

6. adb push bootanimation.zip /system/media/bootanimation.zip

7. adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local/bootanimation.zip

To return to read only,

8. adb shell mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

9. Reboot and there you go
[HTC Aria Android Development] Zpilot21:
I managed to get one on and working a few days ago. I don't remember/know what finally made it work, but I tried the adb push method.

But the thing is, I got curious and instead of moving it, I tried removing the old bootscreen before I tried to push the new on.

I'm not sure if that is what finally made it work though, so don't take my word for it. All I know is after I rebooted after the adb push, it worked.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ibussa:
Well this is how I did it. I delete the bootanimation in the rom zip file and then inject thw new bootanimation and reflash the rom.
[HTC Aria Android Development] sfernandez:
How did you extract and inject the new bootanimation? unzip and then re zipped? Oh and what ROM are you using it on?
