This still could also be hex code trickery. Getting it to show up as 1.40 isn't new. Actually installing 1.40 is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] YACO:
not unrevoked 3, you need unrevoked FOREVER (came out today)... it turns s-off so you can install rooted system...
[EVO 4G Android Development] bprinehart:
It's pulling the pri ota.
[EVO 4G Android Development] edboston:
Not a problem. :) Just hope my translation is still the correct meaning you were trying to express.
[EVO 4G Android Development] emulatorx:
bump on this..I have all the files ready to go ..but before I even start..WHAT IS THE MSL code lol..do i need to contact sprint first?..I dont wanna go ahead and start the process and get stuck on the 1st REAL step lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sawawa:
Sure it is. You guys are flashing some random zip that was posted by the OP. Is it entirely outside the realm of possibility that this is just a hex modification in that zip? I don't think so.
[EVO 4G Android Development] timtlm:
Well, step one says you need to be rooted using unrevoked. Step two says use must use unrevoked forever, which are completely different things. You must be rooted in order to use unrevoked forever. Step one makes it seem like your original root method must be unrevoked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
IDK about that. somethings weird I can't get it to take on a second phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] Adanedhels:
I'm so lost

Ok I've been rooted for awhile now, even did beta for DC 3.5 and for the life of me I can't understand what I would need to do here. Do I need to unroot and then reroot via Forever method? Or can we simply install the new pcimg file through recovery do the wipes, reactivate, etc? Finally once we do all this can we use our nandroid backup we made before all this stuff or do we have to do a whole frigging system rebuild?

Any clarification would help here....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
the thing with PCimgs is that if everything isnt signed it cant flash... and since there is not rcdata.im(where the hexed PRI would go) in the pc36 from the OP being flashed...

also various people have tried it and failed... meaning if it were something we were flashing it would do it to EVERYONES,... clearly its something being done by the network
[EVO 4G Android Development] joackie27:
Contact Sprint and try if they will give it to you. It's a 6 digit code.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikev43:
yeah it must be OTA because after it reactivated the screen stayed BLACK with NOTHING on it but screen was NOT in sleep mode.. it was DEFINITELY pulling something

then when it finished I went into settings and it's there!!!!

I have NEVER seen that black screen thing before so that must be where it pulls OTA..

kudos to OP..

directions were a little confusting..

if you don't hit menu/reset aftter the ##768 it can make for people who don't usually do this a bit confusing.. i had forgotten all about that step and you didn't list it...
[EVO 4G Android Development] woofermazing:
So, could we just do this from a rooted evo that has been downgraded to stock 2.1?

We could get back root with unrevoked3 and use rom manager to get a custom recovery. Finally use l33tlinuxh4x0r's PC36.img file to get a nand unlock without downgrading the PRI again.

Can we install that with a custom recovery, or does it have to be signed and installed through the stock recovery console?
[EVO 4G Android Development] edboston:
There is a program called CMDA Lab or something like that. I had installed it for doing something else and it will get you the MSL code. I can't seem to find it on my system right now so not sure about the name.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kf2m:
The only hex code trickery is the faking out of the Sprint tower to send you the updated PRI. To the tower all it will see is an unrooted (non-ENG) phone with an out of date PRI. So it will push the updated PRI to the phone. Nice hack.
[EVO 4G Android Development] emulatorx:
I trust the OP, but is the new " forever" supposed to allow UNSIGNED stuff.. but you do have a point when you said: since there is not rcdata.im(where the hexed PRI would go)..so has to be legit
[EVO 4G Android Development] pongoface:
I smell FISH!!!!

So if you have to use the pc36img.zip smells like a hex edit as well. Logically the pri is being updated over the air when you factory reset your phone and reactivate. Because we all know that there is no rcdata.img on any stock ruu. When you do this during the factory update, does the firmware actually update? I have done ##786# without this method and it does not. Pri would more than likely be a firmware update. So basically the op is stating that by having the right hboot(unrevoked forever does this correct) and the stock original .6 ota that sprint sees everything is legit and pushes you the 1.40pri. Makes sense but that is sure some good programming on sprint's end.

Before the bounty is released. This needs to be verified by people that had better reception on 1.40 before rooting and getting stuck with 1.34. Also would be nice to here the input from Toast, Netarchy, and others as well. Just a thought.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
so if im rooted toast...what do i do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
i just did the whole schpiel... i wiped caches like 6 times ... 1.34 :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] TeknoJnky:
No, it will (apparently) take you back to 1.40 PRI.

It does not change the S-ON.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jtc442:
+10 on input from toast, netarchy, and others.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tilde88:
i can prove that its not hexed...

im still on 1.34 after following rjmas (sorry name) instructions thoroughly... since im in an eng rom i might as well try again...
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
so the new unrevoked is a new hboot that looks legit with s-off

that coupled with the .6 ota pushes the pri

so now that your unrevoked with s-off you should be able to flash toasts nand unlock if you erace rcdata.img out of it
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sawawa:
This hack depends on installing Unrevoked Forever. What does Unrevoked Forever do? It removes the signature checks.

P.S. I still find it hilarious that the thread title says "Confirmed"
[EVO 4G Android Development] TeknoJnky:
UNREVOKED FOREVER IS NOT ROOT!!!

It is a SECURITY UNLOCK.

It lets you flash any image.

If your already rooted, then all you need to is do UNREVOKED FOREVER to unlock the security.

then follow the steps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Brownstone:
What the deuce!

I'm running JP3, rooted and lagfixed (using RyanZA alpha 1), I also did the screen calibration hack thingy. Now I've just noticed that anything that displays video, ie camera preview, video player, YouTube player just displays a white screen. Sound plays fine, but completely white video output.

Have I knacked it?

Cheers,

[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Froyo is an Alpha.. When in doubt, assume it's buggered, and revert to Eclair. Because there are an abundance of issues with it, and realistically, very few benefits

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devotpohats:
Can any users of the Desire released by Telus last week report receiving an OTA Froyo update?

Mine appears to be totally unbranded - No Telus apps, no Telus markings on the box - yet no OTA update is in evidence. I'm content to wait for it if it simply hasn't been released, but I was under the impression that Froyo had been released for the Desire. At least, on unbranded handsets.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macdonsr:
would like to know the answer for this as well, just picked one up today and can't seem to find any info on it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punchbuggy_ca:
yes i want to know as well. i have a telus phone, i bought an unlock code so its unlocked but still see no updates.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevbry:
The telus phone is pretty close to unbranded, but not completely. If you haven't modified them, check out your browser bookmarks. The first one on my desire and the one in the store was for the (awful) TELUS Web site for mobile devices.

I have no 2.2 update available either.

Can't we just use one of the ROM's like Open Desire?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshonekenobi:
My has the issue of the "rising Screen" or Glass separation. Thinking that sprint would verify some information from my phone I updated the phone with the most recent RUU from sprint. This has given me:

HBoot .93.0000000

Android 2.2

Software: 3.26.651.6

Basband: 2.15.00.07.28

I have searched the forums, but I a not finding a root process for this version of the EVO, nor am I able to downgrade the Hboot to anything root-able.

Am I stuck for a little bit? Or is there a magical way to completely blank out the phone and start over with the shipped rom 1.39..

Thank you to all the Devs for the hardwork done so far.

Sprint would do nothing for the Glass separation, Since it is only cosmetic issue there was not thing to be done. I was given HTC's number.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benjio12:
lol prepare to be flamed. Find the RUU for 1.47 and try running that from fastboot mode. It won't work, but do it anyway and if it does work, post back here.

Next time, please do a search, or at least post questions in Q/A. This has been asked and answered a thousand times today.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munsterrr:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshonekenobi:
Thanks for the Idea, I will try to give it a whirl. Sorry that I didn't place this in Q/A, most of the activity seems to be in the dev section. But I did mentioned that I searched, I was unable to locate anyone asking how to downgrade from .93 HBOOT to .76.000. I am new to Android so from time to time I will need assistance. I don't seem understand the requirement to ridicule users from asking a question. I highly doubt 1000 people posted the question about reverting from the latest RUU.

Static wallpapers means just the standard set of wallpapers that come with the phone...

They are not live wallpapers ...and u can just download the zip and then use astro or another file manager to extract them from the zip on ur phone ...

Then u can view them in ur photo gallery and set them as ur homescreen wallpaper :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumadeez:
This question started from the HTC Desire Q&A, i found through searching, but going to repost here since I have the same problem on the EVO.

Question: How do you remove an unwanted email address from the history cache? If you type it in wrong, send an email incorrectly or create a new email with the wrong spelling, its saved somewhere on the phone. It reappears when you begin typing the first letter of that email address.

Im running an unrooted HTC EVO using the native HTC Mail app on Froyo.

The problem appears when you try to 'add' a new email account to HTC mail or when you go to compose a new email. When you start typing the first letter of the email address, it appears in a historical drop down as a choice. Seems like the unwanted email address only appear within an 'email formatted input field'.

I thought it was part of the custom dictionary that gets saved when you type, but its not in that list either.

I've been hopping around other android forums reading the same problem and no one has an answer. Theres gotta be a way to clear this history. Its pretty annoying. I tried clearing data, clearing cache from the settings>applications>HTC Mail, and even installed a clear history app, nothing works.

Anyone?

Hello guys,

i 'm new here and i would like to ask you sth..I currently own an iPhone 3GS but after a year of use i got a bit bored , tired mainly with the software..too closed imo..u have to jb so that u can make the most of it and apple just makes things worse patching stuff and other s**t like that..So i found about Desire a week ago and i was thinking of buying it..But because i dont want to spend my money on a mobile which probably will be outdated in a while , would it be wise to hold on to my iPhone and buy an android cell later on in case some new cpu models ship , new android os comes out and stuff like that??:confused:

thnx :)
[Desire General] Jabbafat23:
There will always be a new phone coming out. If you hold out till later today, you will hear of a new phone being developed with awesome specs. I heard of the Desire HD a month after I got mine and I'm sure you will hear of a Desire 2 or whatever coming out early next year just after waiting for and getting an HD.

Know what you want out of a phone and look for a phone that best fits your needs and wants. The Desire does this for me and I look forward to my next purchase next year when my wants and needs change again. The HD will be a purchase for the gf if she's good but its too big for my personal use. I'll get a tablet next year as well (Android of course) and that will fill a different need and want.

Good luck picking a phone
[Touch HD General] A&A:
I need some help with Co0kie Home Tab v1.8.5

My screen is quite loaded with stuff and when I swipe to open the 5x5 quick links panel I often launch/open something else :mad:

I noticed that on the top right side of the screen (just below the Task Manager) there is a small square dot which is opening the quick links panel BUT ONLY for editing purposes.

Since that square dot is fairly easy to tap (even with big fingers like mine :D ) I wonder if there is a way that I can use it to open the quick links panel (not in the edit mode but) in the launcher mode (so to actually launch applications from it).

Then whenever I want to edit/rearrange the quick links I can just tap on Menu --> Edit Quick Links and there I am in the edit mode anyway!

Obviously I am also open to any other suggestion... Anybody?
[Vibrant General] Fathom0195:
I am new to the android world, I have a vibrant that I rooted using the update.zip method. Then I went to apply the LAG FIX using the same method from the RyanZA thread. Now all I get is a boot sound and a black screen along with the buttons on the bottom glowing. I have no Idea where to even begin to recover this. I have a mac, any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you in advance!
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
That's a boot loop. In your case, being new and all, it might be better to re-install the ROM and try again. You might need to give it a while as well, I don't know the details of the zip you used, but it might be copying large amounts of data, which will look like a stall in the boot process.

Get ADB and open a terminal window and do "adb logcat" it should let you know where you are stuck in the boot. Post the log and someone here should be able to help you.

Also, get boot camp and/or Virtualbox going so you can use Odin, which requires Windows. If you mess something up, you can use Odin to get back to a stock setup. Sucks that it requires Windows, but that's just how it is for now.

Had the same problem when I tried to install that FixLag update.zip. Lucky for me, I did an Anroid Backup before I attempt it.

Hold down Vol+ & Vol- and power it up, do a Wipe.. when its done, restart your phone. When its booting up, its gonna act the same without the Tmobile Flash and still missing the Samsung Galaxy S logo. Just wait for your phone to VIBRATE. Then your phone should be working. I dont know what happen in that update.zip but it deleted the Graphic at the beginning when you first boot up your phone. After that I went back and did a Recovery and got everything back too normal.

Hi,

My Touch Diamond has been acting weirdly for a month now and iv got no clue why and how to fix it. It will work fine for a week or so and then when you turn it on again after it has gone dead it will act as if you have done a complete restore. Meaning all my data has been deleted from the device. E.G SMS, music, Pictures and all the settings and programs. But it only happens randomly :confused: now im getting rather anoyed of having to get it back to the way i like it for the device to do the exact same a week or so later.

Just came out a few weeks ago, and, not easily available, except at ATT retail stores, this guy has it all; best sound, clear and loud, wonderful, lightweight fit, no breakup while walking around, and some awesum interactive features, BING 411 being the most notable..

Blows away my Jawbone Icon, tons better than the T1, and, frankly, I am totally impressed in the one day I have had it.

Its expensive, at 129, but, I am sure it will be around 100 bucks once they start shipping them in earnest.
