Sorry to the OP i had to go. Too many questions and its late for me. Sorry i'll test another time if possible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] iNT0XiC8D:
I'll test if you still need ppl. (running fresh 2.2)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shadowmite:
Thanks for letting me know! We wondered what happened to you.

[EVO 4G Android Development] adeyo:
1. I'm NOT a dev, but could sprint etc ever give an OTA which would run a script to reenable??

2. For the testers are you looking for unrooted users only? (I thought Matt said it would only work for those already unrooted.)

THANKS FOR ALL YOU GUYS DO!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
I'm down have two phones
[EVO 4G Android Development] JackDaniels7:
so whats the word guys it would be nice to flash the ota and see the difference between stock and the roms so far
[EVO 4G Android Development] snandlal:
Will release soon
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shadowmite:
Good question, yes there is ONE thing that could reenable this. But I don't think they'd use it as it would mess up all true testing phones out on the market. And this requires a custom recovery that can run unsigned zip's. That's about it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Thanks guys your work is amazing and WOW how easy can it get? MANY MANY MANY thanks this worked on my 2.1 rooted and was able to immediately upgrade to 2.2 without an issue with root of course.

And as well it work flawlessly on my already rooted and upgraded to 2.2 evo

WOOHOO!!! and here are a couple of pics for proof
[EVO 4G Android Development] jblazea50:
question for those that are testers, once you flashed a custom rom did it keep the 1.4pri
[EVO 4G Android Development] tech7:
Will this work with stock ota 2.2?

Htc Evil Phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Did not have the pri...

Phone must ALREADY be ROOTED so as far as I have read if you rooted you dont have the 1.4pri
[EVO 4G Android Development] PikkonX:
I thought the PRI was tied to the Hboot though? If this actually installs the current stock Hboot (79.0000) shouldn't your PRI be 1.40?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
WAY BEYOND ME.......

But from what I read its tied into several things rcimg? idk but no its not 1.4 for me sorry
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
this is all great news! looking forward to the release and glad you were able to find all the help for testing and the results were positive.

does this method require a custom driver be loaded on the host OS?

PRI is not tied to hboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adeyo:
My assumption is that to use this you don't need root. You simply install and you can flash ANY rom, rooted or unrooted, ANY radio, ANY update zip...

1. Can anyone confirm if this is correct/incorrect?

2. And, is this part of the stock recovery or can we still flash a custom recovery?

3. Finally, what appear to be the limitations -if any, of this method? (I.e. can we run adb commands etc; sorry if these are noob questions -just trying to learn all i can)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Geniusdog254:
2. You will probably still have the stock recovery after trying this, but you will have the freedom to flash a custom one whenever you choose.

3. You can run ADB commands, and there really are no disadvantages compared to a stock phone.

Compared to Toast's NAND unlock, this does have a few disadvantages, for one:

No Fastboot access - This is a SHIP bootloader with security off (S-OFF). Only the ENG (engineering) bootloaders have Fastboot access

There may be more but I'm not sure. One thing I wondered about, this is a NAND unlock isn't it? I know you can flash images from the bootloader with it, but do you get RW /system access from usermode? I wasn't sure if just turning security off on a SHIP bootloader would unlock NAND.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
They've already said you must have root to use this fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] crpercodani:
It's not a NAND unlock, it is a SPL unlock.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adeyo:
if you already have root, why use this? (I guess to ensure future root when flashing and allow flashing nonrooted roms)

(Matt M. told me that i would keep my 1.40 pri, so if i already had root, i obviously wouldn't have 1.34??)

So, what advantages do we get with fastboot?

And, what advantages specifically with Nand unlock vs. SPL??
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
Exactly. This is not a fix for those on 2.2 without root. Just FYI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fuqi:
sorry for my offtopic question.but will this also come for the desire?

thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adeyo:
correct, i don't have 2.2 yet. But i was told i could use this with my unrooted 1.47 build (2.1) w/ pri 1.40...non-rooted. Maybe i would have to root using unrevoked 3.1 first? then do this, and that would keep my PRI
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
Sorry, I can't comment on that, you may be correct. I just wanted to make sure it was clear that this isn't a 2.2 root fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Any luck with Sprint and dealing with those of us who lost 4G being early adopters of Unrevoked2?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jp9219:
I'm on the 1.32 build still using the original unrevoked method. I have just been too lazy to upgrade to 1.47 and had most of what I wanted but if you need some testers for us lazy people, let me know :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mmastrac:
This security unlock does two important things:

1. Unlocks NAND permanently during normal user boot

2. Allows SHIP hboot to flash unsigned images (including an unsigned zip containing only an ENG hboot if you want ENG access)

We'll likely ship patches for shipping bootloaders that turn them into ENG ones in the future.

[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
Is testing still going as planned? Any permanent bricks from your efforts thus far?
[EVO 4G Android Development] OneStepAhead:
I thought SPL unlock was a carrier unlock? Is that not correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shadowmite:
this is not spl related. its exactly what mmastrac said above... and no, weve had zero perma bricks from this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
I have three phones unlocked with this method and all are running 100% fine.

Shadowmite Check your pm's please
[EVO 4G Accessories] Geniusdog254:
This discovery was totally an accident. I had screwed up my LED, so I took my Evo apart to clean the grill out. I put the cover on and noticed that it fit damn near perfectly for the first time.

All you have to do is loosen the screws around the edges of the phone. You may have to tweak all of them, or just a few of them. It just depends on how your case fits. You'll have to mess around with it and figure out what works best for your device.

You will need a Torx T5 screwdriver!

If you don't have one, you can get one on iFixit. The screwdriver itself is $4.95, plus $2.83 shipping I think. But, if you use any of the coupon codes off RetailMeNot you can save $5, so basically you get it for the $2.83 shipping cost. I used the code "90308fixit" although it may or may not work for you. Like I said there are a bunch more on there that people say work.

As usual, YMMV. If you screw up your Evo, break something, stab straight through your thumb with the screwdriver, etc etc, it isn't my fault. If you blame me, I will laugh at you. Just because it works for me, doesn't mean it'll work for you.

Br0tip: There is a tiny black sticker on the middle screw on the left side. It doesn't say anything, but it's there. If you break it or remove it, you won't have a warranty. I can't show you a pic because I had to remove mine to get the whole case open, but consider yourself warned.

Let me know how it works for y'all. I know it's made my Evo a LOT more comfortable to hold.
[EVO 4G Accessories] davpel:
Thanks for the tip. My experience has indicated that the fit has more to do with the battery cover than the phone itself. I have two stock battery covers: one black and the other white. The latter one came with my white Evo and fits very poorly. Tons of give/movement. The former, which I purchased to give my Evo the Oreo look, fits perfect. Solid as a rock. So if you don't want to mess with the your phone itself, you may try swapping out the cover.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Geniusdog254:
I had noticed that too. My original Evo it fit perfectly, then I had to get it swapped & since I had carbon fiber on my cover I kept my old cover. It didn't fit as well on the new Evo. It seems they fit one Evo almost perfectly, but any others & it gets rought.

I messed with mine some more this morning, and the thing that seems to affect it the most is that all the screws are screwed in exactly the same depth.
[EVO 4G Accessories] damian00976:
why do u guys like to spend so much money lol

[EVO 4G Accessories] focbuster78:
Card trick

I put a folded business card between the battery and the cover and fits really well cant even notice that the card is there. But boy does it make a difference
[EVO 4G Accessories] Leukay:
Thanks for the tip GeniusDog! I have a white evo, and the battery cover always bulged a little bit towards the middle of the phone making the battery cover creak a little bit. All I had to do was loosen the top and bottom screws a little bit, and Its perfect
[Nexus One General] noiz7:
While I have a VIP account with Grooveshark I was kind of dissapointed that you need to pay to get access to the mobile app. So when Froyo came out with support for flash I tried to access the normal site and it didn't work too well. So tonight I was thinking about it again and got a better idea of how to use Grooveshark effectively through the browser with chrome to phone. Its somewhat hard to explain, so I made a video of how to do it and posted it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNPMYAHjlWY While this is far from perfect and the native app is way better, this is a way to play Grooveshark playlists on your phone. Let me know if this works for you guys and if anyone else has suggestions of how you could make it better.
[EVO 4G General] ikkysleepy:
To see this bug do the following:

Type: thats

Select: that's (on the rec. auto word)

Press the space bar on the keyboard

If you select the auto word and continue to type an extra space is added. Does anyone know of a fix because human behavior is much more difficult to change. I thought I pressed the period accidently but it turns out I can't spell and use the auto word too often.
[EVO 4G General] Tilde88:
when you select a word it auto spaces... do not space afterwards and you get no period.

nothing else
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulchemguy:
So my phone is fine now after I re-flashed a stock rom, but I am just curious why it fixed this problem:

i have been using custom ROMs for past year. everything was fine until yesterday, the Panel screen started popping up every few seconds and there was no way of stopping it. I tried restarting, then hard-reset, and even task29 and re-flashed another custom rom, but the Panel screen auto-start phenomenon persisted.... until finally I reflashed a stock rom.... The interesting thing was, before the stock rom started the customization, the phone briefly went into Panel mode again, but when customization was completed, all this Panel autostart disappeared. and so it's all fine now... Anyone know what could be the problem?

I'm scared of flashing a custom rom in because that Panel-popping problem gave me such big headache. I almost thought I have to buy a new phone.... Any explanations?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haplok:
Well, I don't know about your specific problem or what was the specific fix.

But I imagine flashing ANY ROM without Panel Manager would do the trick.

It's not like the Panels are necessary or even very usefull. YMMV, of course.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulchemguy:
nevermind, the problem is still here, my X1 still keep on switching back and forth between the default panel and the panel-selection screen. flashing stock ROM doesn't help

i suspect it has to do with me using task29 a week ago... argh now my X1 is completely useless
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma1nz:
The problem could be physical with your upper keypad jamming at the panel button... I would recommend upper level re-assembly with board cleaning. Failing that, PCB replacement for the affected board.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
I would also say it's a hardware defect. After multiple flashing procedures and hard resets it is nearly impossible that a software problem is causing all this.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelusz:
1) I concur with the above.

2) Easy fix: Disable the panels button completely.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulchemguy:
thanks for all the advices!

upon further investigation, I realize whenever on the physical keyboard I press "capital" with either "G" or "H" or "J" or "K", my keyboard (regardless of what program is open) activates Panel Manager. this doesn't happen with any other keys or combo of keys on the keyboard. and this never happened before this problem occured. does this add to the puzzle?

and Angellusz, for the easyfix, how do I disable the Panel button completely? I don't ever use it anyway. Please let me know!

Many thanks!

Hi im going to root my nexus one with the Universal Androroot 1.5.3 app.

Basically i need a custom rom that is very stable, fast.

I would like to try out sense UI, The roms for sense ui that seem possibilites are Evils Q&D port of sense and Kingklicks. Which one of those would be better?

IF i dont like sense i would like to try one of these roms, either cyanogen mod 6 or enothmers. Which one would be better and more reliable between those 2?

As you can all probably tell im a noob with all these custom roms and rooting.

Does CM make your reception better some how? I'm now getting H where I got 3g. I'm currently in Greece and I don't even think they have H here.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herrwinkler:
Cyanogenmod wiki:

Why do I see an 'H' for the network instead of '3G'?

"H" - HSDPA-mode

"3G" - UMTS-mode (slower)

The stock firmware shows "3G" when the phone is in either HSPDA or UMTS mode. The "H" differentiates it now.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkrmec:
so you understand why CM6 is showing you "H" instead of "3G"? :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy125:
Please don't make useless posts just to raise your post count.

CM replaces the 3G icon with the H, there arent any improvements in the rom, you may have installed a new radio to cause a speed increase though
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herrwinkler:
No, I just stumbled upon the answer and thought I'd post the answer in case someone else had that question. Which they have on a different thread.

I did notice better speed with CM6 RC2, Now I just flashed that Korean radio and I'm running RC3.

This much fun with a phone just isn't right.
[Droid X General] NegativeOne:
Ok, so I'm new to the droid scene, and the smart phone scene over all. I'd just like to get some summary and clarification here. I've been trying to learn on my own but the volume of information is kind of daunting, especially since so much is still uncertain with the DX.

As I understand it...

- SBF: some sort of recovery image that you can load from recovery mode in case you brick your phone

- OTA: official update for the OS from moto or other phone OEM

- If you root, you will have to unroot before going to froyo

- If you remove stock apps, you will be not be able to update when verizon FINALLY gives us froyo unless you restore them or restore from the SBF back to factory state.

- If you remove stock apps you will not simply be able to run 'factory reset'

- Because of the boot loader encryption, you currently cannot install a "stock" version of Android 2.1, or 2.2

Am I wrong on any of these? Is there a wiki or something that contains all this information in one place so I don't have to break my head looking all over?

Oh, yeah, and finally, the mount commands I see, where you are mounting a block device to your /system folder.... That's basically re-mounting the system partition in read-write mode right?

edit: what's the difference between mmcblk1p21 and mtdblk4? I've seen both referred to in such a context that I interpret them as being the system block for DX?

Thanks guys, and sorry for bugging you with dumb questions!
[Droid X General] Sheen160:
I'll try and answer these as best i can. ;)

1. SBF - Not sure about that one. If I read correctly though, you're right.

2. OTA = Over The Air update. Which yes is the update pushed to us from Verizon who get it from Moto

3. No one is quite sure about this yet. I guess we'll see.

4. Yes this is true. You have to re-install all the bloat you took out. Some people couldn't update to the small patch they released if you were missing apps. Personally I use launcherpro and just hide them.

5. Not sure about this one either. Sorry

6. Yes. Because of the bootloader encryption we can't flash any custom ROMs or even just a stock Android. If you try and mess with it, you'll be stuck with a lovely motorola logo.

There are no dumb questions, only dumb answers. :p
[Droid X General] NegativeOne:
Hehe, thanks. It's just people hate repeating themselves online. I am really debating whether I want to bother rooting and messing around with stuff right now if froyo's coming out soon and it might invalidate stuff I do or make it harder in the future. I think I can live without themes and with bloat for a while :P.

I use ADW Launcher myself. Heard Launcher Pro has lag issues - never experience anything like that?
[Droid X General] Sheen160:
On our phone? No. On the Droid Eris, yes a bit. You just have to play around with the settings and it'll run great. Honestly, only root if you really want to. I did it so I could use my root apps (titanium backup, Adfree, etc) but past that I just removed a bit of bloat or hid it with launcherpro. If you don't have any root apps, can deal with the bloat, and don't want to have to unroot and possibly install the apps you deleted when froyo comes out I wouldn't bother with root.

Hi everyone.

I am experining unusal in call issues. When i am on a call and there is data coming down the 3g pipe there a noticeable sound/pause/drop out for 1/4 a second. I can only determine its the data coming down while the call is active.

So is there something that stops all 3G data when a call is received and activated (ie your talking).

i am using juice defender but that is only activated when screen is off.

Wondering if its just me..

[XPERIA X10 General] suzed:
If you double push the home button during a call it takes you to the home screen, you could then access whatever app or stock menu you use to turn off the three g. You can reaccess the call from the notification bar or simply end it with the power button once over.

I use the Quick settings widget from which you can access the APN g/3g control.
