[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueScreenOfTOM:
I've read in a few places that running the OTA 2.2 update after you've run Unrevoked3 on 2.1 OTA 2 will give you the yellow triangle and the update will fail. Is this still true after running Unrevoked Forever?

If so, I suppose that means the process to go through the "Official" upgrade path is:

- Run Unrevoked3.

- Run Unrevoked Forever

- Wipe your phone? and install the original stock image

- Do the OTAs

- Flash custom recovery to regain root

Alternatively, you can:

- Run Unrevoked3

- Run Unrevoked Forever

- Install a custom Rom based on the offical HTC one (like netarchy's)

Is this right? What's the advantages to each? I read over the thread on the Netarchy rooted version... looks like some people are having some 4G issues, and issues with Clockwork...
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
no, no, no, no, no!

no official update to any version contains the 1.40 pri. It was shipped with the phone!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sk63:
Pre rooted stock Froyo can be found in his very forum, just search. He title will say exactly what it is.

I don't know what the official stock recovery is, but most people around here use clockwork or amon_ra.
[EVO 4G Android Development] g4eva1974:
Can someone help me I'm new to this and don't understand what I'm doing. I don't know where the ROOT file is on my sdcard of my EVO. Or do I need to make one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Darkstars31:
Ok, so I have 2.1 still on my Evo, ran unrevoked forever and S-OFF is now displayed while I boot into recovery mode. Is it safe to accept the OTA now and then i can just flash clockworks recovery mode back over the top of it when its done updating to 2.2? And I presume that this will enable me to keep my root and have froyo
[EVO 4G Android Development] DavidSD:
No. The update does not contain the PRI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
there is no point in doing that because the PRI doesnt come in the update.

so if you already have 2.2, rooted and are using a custom rom or one of the rooted stock roms.... there is no point in going thru all that.

just use the Forever app and be done with it.

even if you dont have 2.2, and are 2.1 and are rooted or thinking of rooting doing the OTA and then installing a custom rom is silly i think. just use one of the custom roms that is 2.2 already.

am i missing something here? why would you want to do the OTA then do a custom rom?

and this is far far from "forever"

all HTC needs to do is put out a patch with a new hboot in it... correct?

it's only forever if they never figure out what the exploit is

I personally have no intension of doing this.

the possibilities of someone running unsigned code on your phone just got hella big.... i mean seriously, there are already trojans on the android market... so whats to stop someone from completely fvcking your phone and stealing all your information ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] autoprime:
thanks! worked perfectly... got extra fastboot commands back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ok that explains it. Thats why someone was saying they haven't been able to rip it from the phone. 10 - 4. Thanks..
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Precisely.

pre-rooted roms have the advantage of being already rooted lol. DeOdexed ones have the advantage of being able to flash one of the many awesome themes in the EVO themes section.

Clockwork recovery has been known to not wipe correctly? I don't know, as i've never used Clockwork recovery, nor am I even on 2.2 so I guess for the person who wants to remain as stock as possible whilst keeping unrevoked forever/nand unlock is to do the first method you described.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zone23:
I wasn't fully aware that the PRI wasn't included in any of the updates and that 1.40 came on the phone when I bought it. I though that the phone was upgraded to it via one of the updates. Thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] analytic168:
how to re-root?

A couple questions:

I currently have Unrevoked3 applied. It seems like I can just:

- apply Unrevoked Forever

- apply the OTA to 2.2 as an update.zip

- re-flash custom recovery

but then how do I re-root? Reading through the forums it seems like I just have to get superuser permissions re-installed? Do I literally just grab the superuser permissions from the forums and then apply that? (It looks ike it's distributed as an update.zip type of thing that can be flashed from recovery?)

I'm avoiding applying a pre-rooted 2.2 image for now because I'd like to run as stock as possible. Although: Does flashing a pre-rooted 2.2 involve any data loss?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaWhip:
What you said, plus the possibility of effing it up myself. I downloaded the .zip and saved it on my computer, just in case I ever need it, but I am not planning on using it. I do think it has the potential to help the Devs out in some new areas though, so it isn't worthless, it just may not be something every user needs to do.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Babble0n:
aren't we already vulnerable?

I thought that the possibility of being eff'd and losing your data already existed for anyone who is rooted. AFAIK, the S-OFF flag is already set for anyone who is NAND unlocked, but the method employed allows it to be reset to S-ON via an OTA. So isn't this method just giving us a way to keep it off, regardless of what HTC sends out OTA (excluding a new fixed hboot as you suggest)?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
Has this question been asked?

If you have ENG HBOOT and use Unrevoked Forever, do you still have ENG HBOOT or do you have HBOOT .79...
[EVO 4G Android Development] gbh62:
So, then it would appear Unrevoked3 + UnrevokedForever is currently the only know way to fully update the phone software in rootable fashion, since all other root methods first downgrade the PRI, with no known way to upgrade it back to 1.40.

The only drawback I see currently with 3+Forever is that there is no known way back to an S-Lock, in case one ever needs to bring the phone back to Sprint.

Is this accurate?
[EVO 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
lol 79.00 with eng benefits
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaWhip:
the simple root methods unlock the Nand. The forever method is at the radio level...pretty much the only way to completley brick this phone is at the radio level. Running the RUU will fix most, if not all screw ups with the toast method / simple root, but it will not make any changes to the radio. It is badass because it works, but if the user does something wrong there may not be any way to recover from it
[EVO 4G Android Development] fldash:
Haha, thanks... I'm waiting on a PRI before I do anything... who knew extracting one would be so much work...
[EVO 4G Android Development] TeknoJnky:
I think some of you are confused.

unrevoked forever makes a change in the NON-VOLATILE RAM settings, not in the HBOOT.

its explained very clearly on the unrevoked forever wiki page.

because the change is in the NVRAM, it does not matter if they make an OTA with updated hboot.

Now they could reset the NVRAM settting, but if they that, then it would affect any legitimate engineering device.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crotchety:
Wrong. If you're already fully rooted w/ NAND unlocked then this changes absolutely nothing in regards to running unsigned code so the possibilities of someone doing it remain exactly the same. As far as the trojans in the Market are concerned, every single app you install is going to tell you exactly what it wants to be able to do. If people are not going to actually read what they're giving it permission to do and consider whether or not those permissions are reasonable for the kind of app they're installing then they deserve what they get as far as I'm concerned.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tigereyeslalo:
So, I wanted to test the theory of being able to apply an official update OTA or RUU and being able to install custom recovery and flash custom ROM afterwards. So I ran the Froyo RUU and restored my phone back to Factory Froyo with no root. After that, follow the steps on the unrevoked site and was able to load a custom recovery and load Fresh Froyo after that. It all works as advertised :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Very nice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sk63:
+1

In terms of security, Android is really locked down and short of actually installing a malicious program you're very unlikely to get hosed.

To exploit this system a bad app would have to silently acquire root privileges and probably NAND r/w access as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] g4eva1974:
Lost

I was wondering if someone could help me. I want to root my but I'm not clear on what I'm doing wrong. I just got my EVO and it came with the 2.2 update in it. I followed the unrevoked 3 tutorial but it fails the flash recovery, so never completes what do I do now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] GumboChief:
You would re-root by using a custom recovery to apply the SuperUser app.

There is a link to it in post #1 of a thread created by whitslack
[EVO 4G Android Development] TeknoJnky:
You WAIT.

And SEARCH.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sk63:
There is currently no known root exploit for 2.2, there are certainly people working on the problem but it could be a long time before we see 2.2 rooted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Babble0n:
thanks!

Thank you for the clarification...I suppose an extra 5 minutes at unrevoked.com would have learned me real good. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Darkstars31:
Just a quick question (Im new to this), I did the unrevoked3 and then the unrevoked forever. Now if i attempt to install the 2.2 OTA, it will either work or fail correct? What are the chances of it bricking my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikematzdorff@gmail.com:
does anyone have a link to an "original recovery image" for an EVO?

mine shipped with 2.1/1.47

Cheers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] willy900wonka:
I have nandroid backups in the form of .img files from clockwork while I was using it in 2.1 (now @ toast..eng-hboot). Since I did not have the Eng-hboot I would have had a 1.40.. PRI. I should be able to nandroid back then re-update to 2.2 ----except the only root method which doesn't use the Eng-hboot is partial. The Eng-hboot methods all degrade the PRI to 1.34.

What is missing is a ENG-Hboot pc36img.zip which does not mess with the pri. Previously it could not be loaded (cause of the check codes..), but now with Unrevoked forever installed, IT CAN.

PLease point out where I'm off. I'd rather know now.
[EVO 4G General] antjones21:
Prior to Froyo OTA update, I had the flash .apk on my phone and it worked just fine. I updated OTA and now I get a 'down' arrow symbol on any flash video. Is there a way to uninstall it or fix the issue without having to do a hard reset?
[EVO 4G General] tarheelsmj12001:
If u click on the down arrow it will load the flash on the page. If u go into ur settings for the internet, under enable plugins, u can choose to have flash load automatically, which will take longer. Or set it to on demand which will let u decide if u want the flash to load or not.

just tap the arrow and flash should load

Okay so 2 wierd things. On my billing they are charging me for

Spending Limit Program Charge	$4.49

and

Sprint Surcharges	$4.30

with details

Sprint Surcharges are rates we choose to collect from you to help defray costs imposed on us. Surcharges are not taxes on you or amounts we are required to collect from you by law. Surcharges other charges incurred to recover costs associated with governmental programs, and certain taxes imposed upon Sprint. The amounts, and the components used to calculate Surcharge amounts, are subject to change.

Federal-Univ Serv Assess Non-LD	$1.37

Texas State-Margin Fee Reimbursement	$0.49

Texas State-Univ Serv Assessment	$1.05

Administrative Charge	$0.99

Regulatory Charge	$0.40

--------------

$4.30

Along with

Government Fees & Taxes	$5.21 Which I understand

I ask the guy about the Spending limit program..he says some members are enrolled in that and in order to get out of it, you have to be on automatic billing.

Then on the surcharges he said the government taxes them with it so they tax us to alleviate that. Makes no sense what so ever. Is everybody else being taxed this? This is 9 more dollars on my bill in 24 months = 216 more dollars I have to pay them that I didn't know about
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirborna:
Yeah I mean I'm pretty much 19 now and sorry I wasn't born with credit! What is the whole point of the 100 dollar deductible? I told the guy I paid the deductible so what is the point of this monthly fee and he said you're getting the deductible back next year. He said get on automatic billing but I'm afraid they will charge me more crazy things.

Actually one thing I didn't say that they charged me with (but removed thankfully) was a 20 dollar "new device activation" fee when I'm on month 2. I told the guy what is all this about and he said Hmm sorry it is a mistake....

I'm on BestBuy Employee discount which is 22% and my bill is suppose to be 69.99 + 10 dollar fee + tax which is 79.99 + tax lets say it is 88 dollars. I have 22 percent off and my monthly bill is still 89 dollars!! (terrible)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pscalett:
I just talked with Sprint about this the other day. The spending limit program seems like an early late fee to me. Then, the Sprint Rep told me that they are trying to get everyone to pay their bills online so if you enroll in an automated payment program online it will remove that $4.99 fee. To me it's absolutely rediculous.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
I haven't run the math on the numbers, but I know the 22% is only on the plan itself. It does not include taxes and other surcharges.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bnick007:
The 22% only comes off the base price of the plan (69.99)

You didn't mention if you had insurance that would be a bit more.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princessakiki:
Just to let you know you can do automatic payments but not have them take it out of your account as long as you pay the bill before the due date it will not automatically take it out. The fee they charge for not setting it up is insane but it is basically pushing you to do the automatic payments. And so you know they do not charge you until the due date so just pay it before.

Hi, I come from China.

These days, I get a problem.

That's my title said. How to use DirectDraw on Windows Mobile?

I found a file named "ddraw.h" in WM6 SDK folder.

But it is only used by c++.

I want to use DirectDraw by c# or vb.net.

Is there any idea?

Better to be a library...

Thank you!

The developer there seems to have similar issues and is using C# to access DirectDraw (by using a specially compiled dll.)

Since I'm no WM developer (yet), I can't help you out any further... but I'm sure some searching even on this forum alone should be able to provide you with enough information to get you started.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] OndraSter:
.h is just header which you include in your project (C++). The target .dll is already compiled somewhere in WM or the SDK. In that .h you can see what functions have which parameters and you can via interop and marshalling put them in your C# (or VB.NET) project and call them from there.

Hi, my sister bought herself a MyTouch 3G hoping to use it without the data plan(using WiFi for whatever data she needed/wanted), only to find that you need a data plan to activate it.

I figured I'd set it up for her, borrow a friend's SIM card and borrow their data plan to activate it and give it back... Only that doesn't seem to be working. Tried several times to log in, and no go. It gave me some error message about not being able to establish a reliable connection to Google's servers, which was odd, because I've used said friend's phone to browse the web at that place before, and it showed four bars. Said friend has a G1, so unless Google locks the SIM card to a specific account, I can't think of anything that would cause problems here.... Do they do that? Could I have my friend log in to their account and activate it and have it work?

Anyways, now I'm trying to get it to rooted status so I can activate over WiFi, only I can't get to the settings to enable ADB debugging, so I can't get to anything that requires ADB. I can get into fastboot, but attempting to fastboot a recovery image gets me 'remote not allowed'. Googling around, I can't find anything about this being a 'perfect' SPL, much less anything about this SPL version. Fastboot shows the following version info;

Oct 21 2009,22:33:27

I wasn't getting anywhere that way, so I started looking for other ways to load ROMs. I found my way to Goldcards, and after several hours of trying to find a Windows programs to read SD card CIDs(Remember, no ADB access to the phone), finally found one that worked, and I /believe/ I created one successfully. I can boot the phone into HBOOT and get it to show the loading bar. It gets to "Checking SAPPIMG.ZIP", then errors out with a "Model ID Incorrect", no matter which ROM I try to load.

At this point I've pretty much exhausted every resource I can find, and I've gotten nowhere(Though I know a lot more about SD cards now). Can anybody point out something I'm missing here, and point me in the right direction, or have I actually gone through everything and found dead ends? Help would be very much appreciated!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
"Model ID Incorrect" means your GoldCard isn't working. Luckily for you, you can borrow your friends G1 to create the GoldCard and then move it to your sister's phone to continue with the rooting process. You can use this method to root the phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] izzy84075:
Strange that the CID is so different depending on the OS you use to retrieve it... Anyways, got it loading ROMs off the SD successfully. Now just to get CyanogenMod loading correctly. Freezes at the "HTC Magic" logo now. Should I go over to their forums and ask there, or would you be wiling to help me here? Not sure how to figure out what's wrong, now.

I flashed Amon_RA's recovery image, and I can boot into that. Backed up the NAND first thing. Then wiped everything and tried to install CyanogenMod 5.0.8, and got stuck at the HTC Magic logo. Wiped and tried 6.0-rc2 with the same results. Any suggestions?

I am new to this whole rooting business so please forgive me. So I just finished rooting my device by putting update.zip into the internal memory and help the power button with the volume button. I then turn the device back on and immediately hit superuser permission app and it is blank. Did I do something wrong? How do I get other root apps on to this device? Thanks
[Vibrant General] Blueman101:
If you have the superuser permission app and your phone is not a brick, then it seems you did evrything correctly. The permissions app is just a list of apps that need superuser permissions to work correctly. So because you have no other root only apps that need super user permissions the list is empty. When you install an app that needs super user permissions it will popup in the middle of the action and ask if "you want to grant permissions to this app" if you trust the app then hit allow. You should get a small confirmation after hitting allow.

Root apps are all over, some are in the market other aren't.

Now go download some root only apps.
