[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papichulo06:
Yea, I figured as much but I didn't understand why I wasn't able to boot up the new/different rom. Oh well, I hope you all find this thread if ya'll have this problem :D:D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] betomcfly:
Hey guys!! let me start off with I've read here for a good while and enjoy this forums like very few others online.

So I, too, had the crazy message bubble bug on my Tilt2. It started with one, working its way up to 4. After some time trying to fix it I found a couple days back a thread on FixMessageCount. It worked beautifully! but now I have a sort of ironic problem: I don't have any bubble to let me know how many new messages i DO have. It works with email but doesn't w/ texts (which were presenting the original problem) All i wanted was to "clean" up whatever messages I may have had, not to disable it completely.

Is there a way to enable this?

-----

Also, I stumbled across an AppUnlock earlier and was sort of intrigued but admittedly confused by what was presented. What is the actual use of this CAB? I downloaded and installed on my Tilt since I had a slight understanding of what it did. Allowing non-signed applications work, I guess. Among other things, I read the crazy phrase "ROM Dumping". Now with that I am reminded of custom roms. BUT I understand that to get custom ROMs one would have to Hard SPL, Flash, the whole process. Something that I haven't done since I've had my phone since November, and while i know the process, i have doubts, seeing the eternal misfortune that haunts me daily.

I get the signature bypass aspect of it, but could someone actually clarify the ROM part. I have searched both in xda and the internet as a whole for a thorough explanation. Any help is appreciated.

Have a great Day/Night, keep up the downright amazing work you do daily!
[HTC Aria General] MendedEagle:
I was in the AT&T store earlier today hoping I could do a side by side comparison of the Captivate and the Aria but, of course, AT&T didnt have out the Captivate yet so I just spent time with the Aria.

I loved it. Very smooth and quick with everything. Comfortable keyboard for the size that it is.

One thing I noticed before I was done experimenting with the keyboard and texting is that when I was typing a message landscape, the words weren't showing up, but appeared when I turned to portrait...and then disappeared again when turned landscape.

It only happened at the end of the 15 or 20 mins I was playing with it...but is this a problem others are having with the phone or was the in-store phone just being defective?
[HTC Aria General] Thundervore:
That is a problem that i also use to experience, if i text in landscape mode at a fast pace it caused the app to force close. When it auto restarted i couldn't see the text i was typing in landscape mode but when switched to portrait mode the text would appear. I have since stopped texting in landscape mode since texting in portrait mode is just as fast as long as you hit the first letter of the word correctly.

I have not had the issue since flashing the liberated B003 rom though. Also I do not know if it was something running in the background causing this to crash before i flashed but for me the problem no longer exist.

But thats just one of the few problems you will discover with this phone :D
[HTC Aria General] MendedEagle:
Thanks! Hopefully going to pick up a Captivate as long as it performs like I hope. Otherwise I will be joining all of you here in the Aria forums!
[HTC Aria General] MendedEagle:
Kind of a dead thread but I'm bringing it back to ask...

How many of you have also experienced this problem with the phone? Is it a large majority?
[HTC Aria General] ryan92084:
i've never noticed this issue
[HTC Aria General] MendedEagle:
Thank you. Hope some more people respond so that I can see how many people experience this problem so I can try to decide between this and the captivate
[HTC Aria General] Thundervore:
I spoke too soon, the issue is happening again, seems to happen after typing long texts.

I get the error "the application Touch Input (process com.htc.android.htcime) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." [Force close]
[HTC Aria General] ryan92084:
do you use the stock keyboard as opposed to swype, swiftkey, or the droidx?
[HTC Aria General] Thundervore:
stock keyboard.
[HTC Aria General] ryan92084:
That might be the silence then. You might want to see if the problem persists with a different keyboard. For landscape I suggest the droidx multitouch.
[HTC Aria General] 4th Level:
I too have the same issue - many times. Stock ROM, non rooted.
[HTC Aria General] lostinbeta:
I'm going to mosey on over here for the Nexus forum to vouch this issue for my sister. She just got the Aria about 2 weeks ago and her keyboard freezes on her in landscape mode constantly. If she goes into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/ and selects the keyboard then chooses 'Clear Data' it seems to bring it back up without her having to restart her phone. Another option I've found while scouring the internet has been that if you disable predictive text on the keyboard (Under Settings/Language and Keyboard/Touch Input/Text Input/Prediction) it seems to fix the issue... but you of course lose predictive text. Which, if you ask me, is a huge issue given the cramped keyboard on the Aria. I can't confirm if removing the predictive text option works yet or not, but if she lets me know, I'll be sure to let you folks know.

[edit]I should probably state that shes on Stock AT&T Rom with non-root and she plans to stay that way... unless I convince her to hand the phone to me for a few hours)[/edit]
[HTC Aria General] lostinbeta:
I should also probably state that this issue does not occur using the swiftkey keyboard from the market. One could argue just using that instead, but I personally don't like swiftkey and frankly the default keyboard should work! Lol.
[HTC Aria General] lostinbeta:
So far turning off predictive text has fixed it. My sister has gone all day without a freeze up. And it was occurring almost every time she texted.
[HTC Aria General] lostinbeta:
Day 3 and her keyboard still hasn't froze since she turned off predictive text. I think the may be a solution. But now HTC needs to release a fix for this lol. Hopefully the aria gets a 2.2 update and this is resolved. Wishful thinking I guess.
[Desire General] Ziostilon:
Thats currently what they have listed on their spec page. Subject to changes though.

http://www.telusmobility.com/en/ON/htc_desire/index.shtml

does that mean it comes with Froyo
[Desire General] Jaa-Yoo:
I hope "coming soon" means some time within the next 2 weeks... so i can pick one up while im in canada. :D

(me needs 850mhz 3G)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TtaG:
Is it possible to use my Tom Tom cab file from my old Kaiser (wm6.1) on my new Desire??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabbafat23:
Android doesn't recognise .cab files

It uses .apk instead.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
You've answered your own question.

The Kaiser is a Windows Mobile device, and the Desire is an Android device.

Software for one does not work on the other because they are completely different operating systems.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TtaG:
That's what I thought. Is there anywhere that I can get the Tom Tom nav software that will work on the Desire??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
It isn't available for Android yet, and Tom Tom seem to be taking an extraordinary amount of time developing a version.

There are loads of other commercial offerings though, and a smattering of free ones (e.g. Google Navigation). Personally I use Copilot which I find to be exceedingly good and excellent value for money (around £55 for full European maps, or £27 for a single region). There are plenty of others though (Sygic, NDrive etc), and I'm sure one would suit your needs.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomjudo:
Guys, I'm new to Android phone and playing around with it. I accidently enable recovery mode, I have an unlocked Desire and now its at recovery screen with phone icon and red triangle with ! on it. Did I brick it? how do I get it back? Please help, I only have this phone for 3 days.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomjudo:
Holy cow, scare the crap out of me. Just took out the battery and it restarted it. It's back to normal now. I came from WM6 with HTC touch, then switch to iPhone (jailbroke it and unlock it) gave it to my wife and now move to Desire, beautiful machine. I'm debating on weather to root it or not, I do like HTC sense, I might wait for the official ROM update.

Any way thanks for looking.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] csills:
I am using the PRS complete rooting guide. And when it tells me to type cat /sdcard/su > su, i am getting this error message - cat: can't open '/sdcard/su': No such file or directory.

Can anyone help with this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Do you have su on your sdcard?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ban_dover:
use unrevoked. one click root
[Droid Incredible Android Development] yojoe600:
just use the one click method by unrevoleved its easier
[Droid Incredible Android Development] csills:
Su is not on the SD card. The sd card is a brand new PNY card. I have Su in the sdk/tools folder.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrynalyne:
Then obviously, that command will not work. Use the unrevoked method if you are unsure what these commands do/how they work. Less headache on your end.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] csills:
where is it located?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] k_flan:
maybe i'm missing something obvious, but why pipe the text rather than just copy the file?

Sorry if this is the wrong place, but that command is curious.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] csills:
This is what it's asking me to do.

From PRS Complete Rooting Guide

Now type the following commands to make it persistent through reboot

Code:

adb shell

su

export PATH=$PATH:/system/bin

cd /system/app

cat /sdcard/Superuser.apk > Superuser.apk

cd /system/bin

cat /sdcard/su > su

ln -s /system/bin/su /system/xbin/su /* IF YOU GET AN ERROR HERE DO rm /system/xbin/su THEN REDO */

chmod 06755 su
[Droid Incredible Android Development] rpearl:
I don't know what that guide does, but it doesn't seem right --- it'll mess up the privs, that's why the old root was written as an update-payload.

It's redirected I/O since you can't copy across filesystem boundaries -- ie /sdcard to a different mountpoint.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] csills:
So if I reboot my phone now, do you think I'll lose root and have to start over?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] askwhy:
Either way, it shouldn't matter much. If it didn't work or you lost root for any reason, just go to http://unrevoked.com/ and click on the image for the Incredible. Today unrevoked released version 3 of their tool. This will root your phone and flash the custom recovery all without your needing to do anything in a shell.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Ezun:
AND - if you appreciate unREVoked's work - please donate. They do amazing work and they do it all for free! We're the lucky ones to have such kick@ss developers out there who do this kind of stuff so that we don't have to figure out the exact second to push in our SD cards, push files to the SD card, and then push them to the phone at exactly the right time...... just download, run, and you're done.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PaulG1488:
Just use the unrevoked 3 you will save plenty of pain and struggle
[Droid Incredible Android Development] csills:
unrevoked3 worked! Thanks for the help guys.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PaulG1488:
No problem were glad to be of assistance
[EVO 4G General] bigupurself7:
Is anyone using Autokiller in any of the roms? Specifically with Fresh? Would it work well with the Evo?
[EVO 4G General] Tundricles:
systempanel works well
[EVO 4G Android Development] christophermx4:
I haven't seen a thread about this, and it looks like this method is fairly fresh. I figured I'd give it a try...and it doesn't seem to work.

It gets hung up on the "flashing recovery image" part.

**Edit**

You have to remove HTC Sync AND the drivers that come with it. When I first tried this, I just installed the USB drivers that unrEVOked came. Looks like you have to totally removed anything from HTC before this can work.

And yes, it does work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SirKnightTG:
Same thing happens to me.

I have the latest software from Sprint. I don't know if this not working has anything to do with me trying to run unrevoked2 previously.
[EVO 4G Android Development] christophermx4:
Not sure...I would uninstall any software from Sprint and HTC before you run this.

That may help.

Great job unrEVOked team. I waited to root my phone again until you guys figured it out again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rudementry:
What does it do...?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SayWhat10:
can somebody give a detailed step by step on how to use this unrevoked 3?

and will it leave us having the new 1.47 radio and wifi update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] patelkedar91:
I asked this on another forum... but why not here?

Does this unrevoked do a full root, where it wipes all your data?
[EVO 4G Android Development] halorin:
After seeing their one patch potentially ruin people's 4G for good, I've decided not to try their methods anymore. Hopefully 3.0 helps some people.

I like the Simple Root method and Whitslack's method.
[EVO 4G Android Development] patelkedar91:
So it seems like it doesn't wipe your data... anyone tried this and can confirm?
[EVO 4G Android Development] hatedbymani:
it doesn't wipe your data i just rooted mine in 3 minutes
[EVO 4G Android Development] gbm85:
I just want to clarify that unrEVOked is not responsible for that. There was a problem with the OTA update itself that broke 4G for some people, which HTC is and was responsible for. The only thing unrEVOked did was distribute said OTA update in pre-rooted form.
[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
So after you run this, will it be possible to unlock nand protection to achieve a full root?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SirKnightTG:
Ah ok uninstalling HTC Sync and its driver did the trick. I'm now rooted for the first time! w00t!

android-wifi-tether works great too! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] mpa4712:
That's 100% not true. The borking of the 4g was due to the way that the unrEVOked method wrote the wimax image to the wimax partition. This wasn't unique to the unrEVOked method, but it was something that should likely have been tested before release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] christophermx4:
No, it doesn't wipe ANY of your data. After I performed it, all of my apps and files were still 100% intact.
[EVO 4G Android Development] christophermx4:
I believe it does. My software version didn't change afterwards.

To be frank, I'm not really sure how exactly this works. I know it changes your recovery, but other than that...I have no clue.

Still, it's a way of a achieving root that I'm fairly confident most users can pull off.

Remember: YOU MUST REMOVE HTC SYNC, AND ANY HTC/SPRINT DRIVERS

Otherwise...it gets hung up during the process.
[EVO 4G Android Development] patelkedar91:
Yeah whoops...

Make sure you uninstall HTC Sync AND HTC Drivers... if you have Windows 7, just search, from the launcher thing, "htc un--" and it'll fill in the rest.

Edit: Trying it for the second time, it gets stuck at "Waiting for device..." and it's connected.

Edit 2: DON'T uninstall the extra htc drivers... I don't know, but it's not recognizing my phone now, zzz.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Diplomat2387:
So I'm confused a little bit. With unrevoked 3 you can flash a recovery image and flash a custom ROM now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] christophermx4:
On their site they say: unrevoked3 will replace the stock Android recovery with a custom one, which adds many features including “nandroid” backups, the ability to use custom ROMs, and a greater amount of flexibility and customization of your Android phone.

So I'm guessing I could finally try out some of those ROM's I seeing floating around here. All I'm really after is a fully functional version of Froyo for the Evo, but I'm not sure if that's out yet...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Veritas06:
Nothing working 100% yet, but DamageControl & Cyanogen are the two closest i think ( hope to see a 100%-working FroYo within the next few days :) ).
[EVO 4G Android Development] Diplomat2387:
So this is full root like how everybody is doing manually? Can a expert chime in on this method and explain the drawback to this if any?
[EVO 4G Android Development] christophermx4:
Would I need to permanently unlock the NAND flash on my Evo to utilize either of those?

I'm still a little new to this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] piggyboy:
I'm trying to root my phone using this method.

I'm getting "Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again."

I did it again and it's given me the same error.

I've never rooted before. What am I doing wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] patelkedar91:
The first time it got stuck at bootloader. I'm trying again now and it's been waiting for device to be connected...

I plugged it in so many different ways.

Blah...

I'm also confused. How can this let you flash roms if it doesn't wipe any of your data or anything?

Edit 2: Stuck at bootloader. What do I need to do? It won't select HBOOT USB.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
Worked beautifully. Made a donation to the EFF on behalf of unrevoked. I recommend you all do the same.

Edit: I confirmed that 4G works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] NancyKV:
Uninstall HTC Sync & HTC Drivers

Piggyboy - I had the same issue...you have to uninstall BOTH HTC Sync and the HTC Drivers. Once you do that, you are golden!

Thank you, unrEVOked team! You guys are beyond awesome!
[EVO 4G Android Development] patelkedar91:
That's weird. When I uninstall both HTC drivers and HTC Sync... then unrevoked doesn't move from "Waiting for device to be plugged in" stage...

After installing, it works...

Then I get stuck at bootloader.
[EVO 4G Android Development] piggyboy:
Thanks :)

It worked.

I got the Wireless Tethering working. I feel so bad. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] patelkedar91:
Okay..... you guys having no problems, wow.

Okay, well, did your phones ever check for PC36IMG.zip? I had it from previously rooting... I took it out, and it didn't work... I put it back on, and seeing if it works.

Can anyone tell me what happens after you select HBOOT USB?

Edit: How do I install the HBOOT usb drivers?
[EVO 4G Android Development] piggyboy:
It's listed in the html file. It lists the usb driver.

hboot driver.htm
[EVO 4G Android Development] patelkedar91:
Ahh, I was opening it with Maxthon 3... my browser choice.

Opened with Firefox, the page loads.

Sorry for the confusion.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snowpunter:
I just installed unrevoked 3.0 successfully and I'm about to apply the 1.47 OTA from unrevoked. They note that they're not including the wi-max firmware update. This was due to the pseudo-bricking of 4G radios if I understand correctly.

Is there an official firmware update for the 4G radio that can/should be applied aside from the 1.47 from unrevoked?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jumpman6235:
Im also stuck on the HBOOT step.. and i also had to install HTC sync in order to get passed the "waiting for device" step

Now, during the HBOOT step on my evo i am seeing its checking my SD.."no image or wrong image" and it wont do anything

am i supposed to put all the extracted files on my SD card?

Windows 7, x64
[EVO 4G Android Development] piggyboy:
You'll need to uninstall the HTC sync and the HTC driver.

Go to the html file included. It has a link of the revoked3 driver you need to install.
[EVO 4G Android Development] piggyboy:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/evo_ota_2_patch
[EVO 4G Android Development] jumpman6235:

[EVO 4G Android Development] threed792:
This is my first time rooting and it works great on my EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] trixr750:
Can someone post a step by step just incase a noob like me would need a guide... Please and thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] _ivo_:
Me to... :o

EDIT : I did it ;)

Uninstall ONLY HTC Sync, do NOT uninstall HTC driver ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] vellpike:
I did this root, however, my 4g is now not coming on. I am getting the message that 4g is available, but no 4g connection. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] adeyo:
me too :)

+1 ...is there anyone who is completely confident in this method that can post a few step by steps for someone who is new to rooting?

...for that matter, does anyone know what would be different b/w unrevoked3 and the latest simpleroot method? (for OTA 1.47.651.1) I.e. specifically i have heard that rooting may slow down your data speeds, with unrevoked3 does this occur?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bwtl1000r:
I have rooted my phone using unrevoked3. I definitely have root access on my previously updated OTA phone. I do know that this method does NOT give me NAND access. I do know that I now have a custom recovery. I've done nandroid and titanium backups of my phone at this point. I'm also installed Rom Manager... if that's of any help.

So here are the things I'd like to know:

I would really like to know the best way, to go about getting NAND access at this point

Should I just get the simpleroot and click only step 2 - seems risky to me.

I also am in a 4G market and need to keep my radio working after the NAND changes.

Is the toast part 2 method the best starting point?

Thank you to those with infinitely more experience than myself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rfryar:
Got it

I had to use a different computer and the new HBoot driver loaded three different times. But once that was done the USB Drive Mode in USB Debug worked to push the update.

Yes root again!

Thanks,

Rick
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenags:
Gonna be trying this one shortly. Waiting for someone to bring me a micro-usb cable to the office.
[EVO 4G Android Development] flip603:
can anybody confirm whether this will let you install the custom roms? ( i know their faq page says it but a lot of roms say you need NAND unlocked)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ouhei:
It won't find my phone when I plug it in. I don't have HTC sync installed at all on this computer and the phone is plugged in with USB debugging enabled.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Status Flow:
Same here. Anyone know what's up?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rfryar:
Did you install the custom HBoot drivers? Step through this very slowly as I had to install 3 custom HBoot drivers before it saw my phone.

Rick
[EVO 4G Android Development] rutter9:
That was extremely easy. Never rooted before and everything worked fine. 4G and everything works no problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snowpunter:
Haven't connected to 4G since I updated to unrevoked 3...

FYI, I didn't do the Sprint OTA update before installing. I successfully installed unrevoked 3. Then I installed the unrevoked 1.47 patch.

I usually can connect to 4G when outside of my work. No dice. I walked back to my car to grab my badge and still no 4G...

I'm hoping it was a network issue and not my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rooster94:
Sorry if this is a stupid question but I didn't see it answered in the thread, my neighbor has been wanting to root (I of course rooted mine the day before the phone's release) but he installed the OTA and I had trouble rooting it with the Simple Root method.

Will this be able to root the OTA? Don't need full root, just root access for some apps.

EDIT: Nevermind, got my answer from the unrevoked twitter.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Daft Punk:
rooted successfully this morning, installed this FPS fix a few minutes ago. avg=50fps

So far so good!

FYI not on any rom, with latest OTA update.
