[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tartan1515:
I've been creeping SimpleRoot guides/threads/forums/vids for the past few weeks (btw, you guys impress the hell outta me and some of the noobs annoy the heck outta me), slowly building up the courage to root my 1.47.651.1.

I was literally about to take the plunge when jiqqaman (who continually out-does himself will be rewarded by me soon) once again improved/modified the SimpleRoot GUI. If my memory serves me correct SimpleRoot has gone from a 3-step process to a 4-step process and is now (as of August 2) back to a 2-step process (myevo4g.net).

The issue for me now is that I no longer know which guides/hand-holding-sessions are for which version of SimpleRoot. So, does anyone know what this VERY latest version of SimpleRoot is being called? Anyone seen any good guides/walkthroughs of it here in the forums or anywhere for that matter?

I've searched extensively but each guide & troubleshooting thread (one of them is up to 135 pages) seems to be in reference to an older version of SimpleRoot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
It was just released today. Try it out, if you have problems you get to start your own thread. :)

Just call it something like Simple Root 1.47 v2.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tartan1515:
Bump. Anyone seen any complaints, compliments about SimpleRoot version 3?

thx.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drPheta:
IMO, the 8/1/2010 leak is pretty darned nice. I took Adrenalyne's patch and added an audio fix for streaming AAC issues, and increased the VM Heap size to 32MB.

Things to note.

Pros:

1. Pandora and Slacker sound cleaner with this

2. Market sees all of my downloads, no problem. I have been able to install all my Google apps, no problem (Sky, Earth, Maps, etc.)

3. My Quadrant score 1281

4. My Linpack score 38.392

Cons:

1. m.youtube.com in the browser will not work. However, the YouTube app will stream videos fine.

No need to rename the .zip file. Just load it via clockwork.

Or, you can extract the build.prop file and push it to /system/app (remember you need to be in recovery with /system mounted.)

Once uploaded, dial

*#*#2432546#*#*

To register your fingerprint in the market.

EDIT 8/9/2010:

Added file to remove audio patch, but still keep Market Fix and 32MB VM Heap size.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] coontag:
noticed you edited the post.. i ran this zip when you first put it up. can early adopters push future without problems? or is there no difference between OG file and update?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drPheta:
Yeah, the file hasn't changed. If it does, I will note a changelog. Go ahead and run it. While you're at it, can you check to see if m.youtube.com works in any of your browsers? Some people have mentioned to me that it doesn't work.

Works on mine, though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] coontag:
sorry dr. i didn't realize that you didn't post the original market fix patch. Thats whats adding to my confusion. Shall we still assume we can push future updates without catastrophic effects?

i am figuring yes ... but try to play it somewhat safe.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drPheta:
Yeah, this is just a change to the build.prop file to match the latest leak. Also, the stagefright change and 32MB Heap is included in this prop. I just put it up for the sake of others who hate the "Pandora/Slacker in-a-cave" sound. It does come at the expense of running m.youtube.com videos in your browser.

Although, the YouTube app works fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] coontag:
+2 on ota 8/1. runs much better that OTA #1. had several issues with FC, general lag, and most of all handcent... and if i can't sms, it ain't no good'

as for the m.youtube everything loads except video... i get " sorry, this vid cannot..." in both stock browser as well as dolphin hd

Youtube app DOES work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drPheta:
Thanks for the confirmation.

I listen to music more than youtube, anyway. And when I do go to youtube, it's through the APP, so no biggie for me. Hope it holds well for everyone else.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] boredinpa:
m.youtube.com doesn't load videos.. but love the build..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] letum00:
Any luck with Listen? I haven't been able to use it since upgrading to a 2.2 build.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Muerte_X:
I'm using the leak from 7/27 and I just installed it, It started no problem. It even remembered the podcasts I had subscribed to. I tried listening to an episode and it started playing fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drPheta:
I don't use Listen, so I couldn't help you there.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] touchpro247:
I looked at what was changed and only added the vm 32 heap... :cool:

I use m.youtube.com a lot.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mkohn:
can you put your version up? i would love to have the 32vm heap, but dont want to lose m.youtube.com either.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] supremex3:
M.YouTube.com doesn't work.. but u can always watch it desktop mode
[Droid Incredible Android Development] v941726:
gotta ask the usual. can this be undone for the final ota?

did the patch anyway. now youtube doesnt play anymore. it did before the patch
[Droid Incredible Android Development] drPheta:
Yeah, the first post indicated you will lose m.youtube.com. Full desktop youtube.com will work, as well as YouTube app.

For reverting, no need when you update to the OTAs. The build.prop file will be replaced by whatever build.prop file is included in any ROM. Additionally, if you flash any ROM, you'll lose this update.

EDIT:

added a file to remove the audio fix, but still maintain the market fix and 32MB VM heap. See OP for the file.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] v941726:
thanks. i dont use you tube that often, but i didnt notice any improvements any way. so i guess i'll revert. thanks again
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jlauriemd@hotmail.com:
will this help my situation?

xmradio app stops for a few mins every 30 sec as if buffering. Pandora will stop after each song unless you unlock the screen.

does this patch help call quality?

Is it already built into my skyraider?

I'm running skyraider 3.2 rc3 with 2.15.00.0728 radio, kernel 2.6.32.15

Thanks for any guidance

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeynuggetz:
As the subject says. I took the plunge and updated to Froyo today and I can't help but wonder if it will ever get rooted via Unrevoked. I don't have any regrets but I'm going to miss my root only apps. Phone is definitely alot quicker now and the update corrected a bunch of small problems that I was having.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahnile:
We def.ly will, got all the confidence in the Android devs, only a matter of time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeynuggetz:
I hope so. I miss my root privs. I never got into the custom rom scene but I would love to see my 2.2 rooted.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Would you settle for a manual root method? Or do you need the fool-proof clicky style?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zackhow:
I would agree, unrevoked is cool for being easy, but unless it does full nand, i wouldnt bother.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpoz:
Why didn't you just install a rooted version of Froyo?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
a lot of the people that arent very deep intot hings seem to make this mistake thinking they need to do the OTA to get FROYO.

I am not up on unrevoked but will it let you flash rooted roms now? i know for a while they said you couldn't for many.

I also think many dont know the diffrence between root and nand unlocked. Always have to remember not everyone one is on the same level of knowlege.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritzbrie:
I personally don't like Unrevoked. Sure you get superuser and that is neat and all. But, the only app I found that worked using unrevoked was wifi tether. I couldn't delete any of the standard bloatware and frankly that is all I want. A clean copy of the Sense UI.

Next time I am going to do it manually or use something that does a full unlock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeynuggetz:
I was fully aware of what I was doing when I installed the ota update for froyo. I know I had choices at the time in terms of other roms but I never really invested the time to read and follow all of the dev threads and just wanted a fully functional Froyo install. Since I hadn't really gotten into the full nand unlock scene I knew that I probably wouldn't do so in the future so I decided to be brave and go with the ota Froyo and give up root for now.

If there's a manual way to get basic root without full nand unlock manually I would try that in a heart beat. Like I said, I was never really a custom rom guy so having a fully unlocked phone isn't important to me as I don't have that much time to invest reading the forum threads that have thousands of pages. :-)

All I see is little android guy with paperclip.

Why is it that so many things that should work out of the box on this phone requires a forum post? Maybe I'm just slow today.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Did you install the free office viewer? Search captivate in the market.
[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
Quickoffice for Captivate.

I tried that.

But thanks for your post I gave it another go, and now, I have found my issue: .... the email attachment I used for my experiment was a PPTX and it doesn't recognize it ... only PPT

I re-did the experiment with a PPT attachment and it is fine.

[Captivate General] foxbat121:
You can download the free (read-only) version of Documents To Go app. This one supports PPTX. The QuickOffice app leaves a lot to be desired by it gives you capability to edit office docs as well as PDF viewing for free. So I had both on my phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] LoveMyPhone:
Update:

Fixed kaiser and polaris version info for NBH

Fixed issue where if a source code pull failed, any later attempts would fail as well

Fixed issue with updating bootenv

It's my first meaningful contribution! :D I put together a couple of scripts and some other stuff to make it really easy for me to create a flashable NBH from the latest kaiser kernel sources.

Many thanks to dzo, JeckyllHavok, quitlahok, rzk333, -Arturo-, kallt_kaffe, the folks at www.codesourcery.com, poliva at the htc-flasher project on googlecode, and all the people who contribute to developing, testing, etc Android on HTC devices.

Note that none of the files these scripts download are mine. They were not created by me. They all belong to other people who have contributed much to the community.

The only things that I've made are:

- crnbh (which uses commands from scripts in the htc-flasher project)

- update-workspace

- everything under the patches and signatures directories

(just the patches, not the things they patch)

This requires an active internet connection to use. I don't plan on maintaining this but I thought I'd put it out there in the hopes that it could be put to good use or something.

Download the attached file

Extract to your home folder (important)

Read the README

If you want to change it, make it better, please do! Just mention me in the credits. Also please PM me so that I know it was helpful. Thanks!

Good luck!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
May I ask what this does differently than my NBHCreator?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] LoveMyPhone:
First off, sorry for stepping on your toes :o I didn't notice yours until I was halfway through making it, and I only posted it because I figured it might be something to look at for ideas or something... I don't know how to describe what's different so I'll just post what it does...

update-workspace:

Gets the latest kernel source code

Gets the latest tinboot source code

Patches tinboot.S so that it uses the zImage and initrd.gz that are built later

Gets the latest bootenv source code

Patches buildInitrd so that it is a little bit safer (maybe)

Gets Yang from the htc-flasher project on googlecode

Patches the htc-flasher makefiles so that they only build Yang and HTCFlasher and then install them locally (to avoid cluttering the user's system)

Gets the arm toolchain from codesourcery.com and extracts it to the android-ezb directory

Builds and installs Yang (to the android-ezb directory)

then crnbh:

Builds the kernel source code

Builds initrd

Builds tinboot

Uses nbhmerge to create the output.nb file

Uses Yang to create the NBH file for the device
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] mnjm9b:
NO...NO...NO...

Don't be sorry...

I don't care if you make your own and post it...

I was only wondering because your OP was lacking in information as to what this did.

Actually the same thing happened to me just before I released my nbhcreator, loserskater released his nbh editor.

Your creator does some things mine doesn't (YET)

like actually pulling tinboot etc...

things like that I was putting off as an option for a later release.

other than that I am building the output very similar.

Now that I am in this deep I wish I would have gone without the GUI.

Seems to be creating cross-platform issues.

[Nexus One General] fubaya:
Are there any sites or forums that are heavy on N1/Android command line discussion? I don't mean simple "how-to use the command line" stuff, but sites where people are working to port Linux shell utilities, creating scripts or figuring out new tricks for the N1/Android shell?

For example, there was a discussion here about rescanning the sdcard for new media and people posted apps that could do it. My first reaction was that, instead of using an app, there's probably a way to do it with a one-liner script and run it from GScript with a single click. I didn't look into it, and I'm sure there's no interest in that particular question, but are there any geeks out there who like figuring out things like that?

There are a few command line related threads here and my googling indicates there are a few at other boards from time to time, but for the most part, they're lost in the mix.

I really hope someone can help me or I am so screwed for the coming weeks at work. So I upgraded my Evo to 2.2 and everything worked great, but exchange. I got errors for calendar and mail. I thought it had something to do with the upgrade so I did a reset and erased everything. BUT I STILL CAN'T SETUP EXCHANGE!!!! Please help my office uses Exchange 2007 and I know the server is not down, because I also tried setting it up on my iPod Touch just know and I could activate without a problem.

When I went to the office I could connect to the wifi with my credentials and it made me install a certificate and the exchange was able to work, but as soon as I turned off the wifi it stopped working again. Darn...

Anyone else have this problem?

Battery percentage remaining - 41%

android OS - 19m 5s. - 2% -

I thought the battery life was questionable at first but now I realize that it was because was 'playing' with it CONSTANTLY. I guess the "new" has worn off and I used it more like a Phone today and my battery use seems good compared to previous smart phones I have owned.

solved my problem i think

I've had problems with my 3g connection being quite choppy and only getting 1 or 2 bars since I got the phone. It must have been using a lot of juice in it's struggle to maintain 3g. I changed the setting to 2g networks only a week ago and Ive had a great connection to the Edge network. My battery now has 60% or more at 5p with a good amount of use.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Errroneous:
I initially used Unrevoked on the 2.1 HTC ROM. It gave me half root I guess as people call it. I then used CyanogenMod Recovery to flash netarchy's Froyo rom with root and it installed fine. His rom did a full wipe I assume (I wiped the cache when I did it) and I have root access still. My main question is, do I have full root now or partial root still? And how can I tell?

I have read many posts on the forums, and searching by key words is not working out since every post has root in it.

Thanks for the help.

Maybe this is the wrong forum. I apologize.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikkibailey1968:
root

before anyone else says anything, I'll tell you this probably belongs in Q/A section :)

anyway I think you probably have root, but probably not NAND unlock....when flashing into HBOOT screen up on the top in green letters, you should see HBOOT - 0.76.2000....if you see HBOOT - 0.79 then you don't have NAND unlocked. Alot of roms require this....and you should find toasts part 2 to unlock it

[Droid X General] cavz903:
So i read on droidxforums.com that i can that i could use my internal memory for my music by using root explorer to move it to a music directory within /system. and an app called Astro Player I tried just moving one album to the /system. when i opened Astroplayer it automatically read all the rest of my music. so i figured i would take my music off the SD completely. after deleting it it still showed up within Astro. however the Directory what gone from SD. soi wasnt sure if there were still some reminisce or something left.

So i figured i could copy all my important info to my pc and format the SD and format. I inserted the SD directly to my pc via an adapter and tried to format. It failed to complete. so i tried putting it into my phone and tring that way.

I now get a pop op that says i need to format before i can use it. I click to format and it tells me there is no disc.

did i just kill the sd card? is there any way of formatting and getting it back to normal?

any advice is appreciated. thank you so much.....
[Droid X General] drew630:
What are you trying to format it with on the pc? If you are on linux i would recommend giving gparted a try. It has always worked for me. Make sure you format it to FAT...
[Droid X General] ixobelle:
you likely formatted it to NTFS in windows, reformat it again to FAT, and make sure it's fully seated in the slot of your phone.

Formatting an SD card won't break it.
[Droid X General] cavz903:
Problem Fixed!

No i was trying to format it Fat32 via windows. But i was trying to do a "quick format"

Formated without "quick format" selected. Took about an hour. but everything is back to normal.

Thanks for the help you guys.
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
Lucky SOB. I had the same issue, and it was a bad SD card. I had the same problem, basically; started copying my music to SD card on the phone, phone froze and xfer hung in Windows at about 15% of the card filled, did a battery pull and tried doing a full format (fat32 of course, which is the default for memory cards in any version of Windows, by the way; only way you get NTFS is if you manually select it, or the card was already NTFC) and it hung at about 15% of the way through. I pulled the 8GB micro SDHC card from my HTC Touch Pro, did a full format on my laptop no problems, put it in my Droid X and filled it, no problems. I'm waiting for a call from Costco as to when I can get the memory card swapped.

@ixobelle: formatting an SD card when it's bad can definitely "break" it :) (to be more precise, 'expose the broken parts')

I was going to try to do a screen capture and when the dalvik debug monitoring system appears, it shows 2 devices (both the same number) - one is online and one is offline. When I click either one of them some stuff goes on in the background on my cmd window, one of the lines says "device request rejected: device offline." Anyone have any ideas?
