[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tilde88:
honestly,i always get irritated when something is posted in the wrong forum... but its not due to the recent hype here @xda...

anyways, i dont know why but this did not bother me one bit.

Anyways2.0 @ OP. There's a game called NOVA {Near Orbit Vanguard Alliance}. Really similar to Halo... I like it. Well, before I could not be moving around + firing (2 fingers so far) + throw a hand grenade(or jump). Meaning I could only do two of those at the same time.

However, after flashing custom kernels (EPSON 003 no tints), Dotty showed me my device can take all 5 at once [insert sex joke o.0].

Here's the good stuff. Though I can't do all of those things at once... I can do 3 at one time. While running, I can continue to do so, shoot an enemy in the faceheadlolomgwtfs, and clip a 'nade out. So, yea : ) . As far I know, this is undocumented by Gameloft© (not that I checked).

By the way, it is not available in the Android App Market. Find it @ www.gameloft.com [on your device!].

Your welcome for perfect grammar. Why not type in this manner from now?.

So you really get 5 multi touch pts? The most I ever get is 3.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tilde88:
yes some Evos can and come cant...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerryparid:
And the problem is that most (99%) of the apps in the app store only supports 2/3 point touch max since most android hardware can only support that much.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasongthang:
alright. Thanks for the replies. I was just curious about it. And sorry about the wrong forum, I thought about putting it in q&a, but I figured it had to do with evo development so I put it here. But I apologize.

Seems that, as big as the screen is, 5 fingers wouldnt fit right. But for video games I suppose so. Maybe someone will invent a 5 finger tapping app that gives you a score based on accuracy and speed lol.

Thanks again.

you can just adb pull your system and data folders and go to work
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarioCaptivate:
Can you load the captivate rom into the android SDK? I found one thread with someone working on this a while back that has not been updated.... I know the biggest issue would be switching drivers etc to support the virtual machine. Perhaps the easier way would be for someone to pull all of the applications off their phone and load them into the VM as one collective file; if anyone has done this let me know :-) thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonessa33:
I got a tmobile hd2 and am trying to put a custom rom on it. I already have the hspl3 done. Each time I extract the files I see the custom ruu file then it disappears. Why is it doing that? I turned my firewall off just in case that was it and still didn't work. Please help.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justwonder:
Maybe your antivirus deleted it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anshkhanna:
Trojan

It is categorized as a trojan virus by the antivirus and gets deleted. You will need to disable ur antivirus...extract the CustomRUU from the zip, flash the ROM and then enable the antivirus.
[EVO 4G Android Development] blazin-asian:
very nice! can anyone confirm this? my buddy wants me to root his 2.2 and i would like to try this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bmxrider4444:
To make life easier for some people add this to your post mate, and apply it yourself if you would like.

Here is how to add your sdk/tools directory to your .bash_profile file so you won't have to navigate to the folder each time.

Download this so you'll be able to see your hidden files http://www.mediafire.com/?diimft1ninn Run it, check "Show Hidden Files" then click Restart finder. Now, navigate to your home folder (/Users/UserName/) and see if there's a .bash_profile already there. If not, create with textedit.

Now add this to the file: export PATH=${PATH}:/Path/Of/Your/Sdk/Tools/Folder

Mine is /Users/bmxrider4444/Documents/Android/SDK/tools

Now do not save it as rich text. If yours is in rich text, click on "Format" in the menu bar, and click "make plain text". Now save it as .bash_profile and uncheck "if no extension is provided, use .txt".

Now you can go back to Ghost and uncheck "Show all hidden files" and restart finder again (special thanks to ajones7279 for these steps)

Enjoy!

Just as clarification as to what this does, it enables you to run adb commands and other commands without having to navigate to the /android/tools/ folder every time you want to run adb or whatever.
[EVO 4G Android Development] FoxHound630:
does this work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] randymac88:
This is great! Thanks for the guide - I am planning on rooting my Wife's EVO but have been waiting for an easier method than the other one posted. Question on the above where we write "location of recovery-ra-evo-v1.8.0.img". Is that the exact code, or should we be adding a directory or folder location into this line? I rooted my 2.1 EVO on my Mac a couple months ago and don't remember this step. Once again - very much appreciate the help.

One last question - would it make more sense to have a custom ROM already on your SD Card prior to rooting, so that you can flash it right after you flash AMON-RA for the first time? Probably doesn't matter but thought i'd ask.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rsage:
^^ same question as above, plus one other n00b question - does this method unlock NAND?

[edit] I was not insinuating that randymac88 is a n00b; I, however, am ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] mmastrac:
Don't trust us with the unrevoked 3.x/unrevoked forever application combo that's worked for thousands of users without sideeffects on regaw's post?

You should note to everyone that your method will screw up their PRI, reverting it back to 1.34. By using unrevoked and unrevoked forever, you can keep 1.40.
[EVO 4G Android Development] seekis:
Thats not the exact code no. I just put that as a place holder you are suppose to put in the location of where you have the recovery.img. For example, the exact command for me would be:

/Users/seekis/Downloads/recovery-ra-evo-v1.8.0.img

As far as using unrevoked, I stated that I, ME, MYSELF, has had issues with it. not that anybody else has. By all means go and use it if you would like. I will not. It is true that you will loose PRI 1.40, but seeing as how even after installing the OTA from HTC my phone still didn't update it to 1.40, I don't see the issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] seekis:
i believe it does unlock nand seeing as how i adapted it from toasts method
[EVO 4G Android Development] randymac88:
Hey Seekis - question, I'm stuck here. I keep getting "permission denied", or "operation not permitted" when trying to make the exploit executable at this step:

chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

Am I missing something? I've tried a million times and can't seem to get past this. I've successfully pushed all the files onto the sdcard.

I've also have had some trouble finding the exact root path to these files. I've been able to navigate, but I would think a lot of users would have some trouble.

Regardless, many thanks for getting this posted...

EDIT: I pushed the rageagainstthecage file to the sdcard by mistake. Will try again tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] seekis:
ok i got rid of that step by moving the file into the android sdk and pushing it with all the other files
[EVO 4G Android Development] randymac88:
Okay now I appear to be in big trouble as I've just messed up my wife's phone, and its probably going to be unusable for a while until I get this figured out (assuming I do!).

I got through most of the process. I flashed the PC36IMG.zip file; however when it asked to reboot, it just dumped me back into the bootloader. Whenever I say reboot, it just takes me back to the bootloader. Pull the battery, same thing - bootloader. Yikes.

I don't know how to get to the next step because I can't get into a booted rom in order to flash the amon-ra recovery. Am I totally effed? Can anyone help me here?

EDIT: Okay reflashed the PC36IMG.zip file, and it rebooted into the stock ROM. Onward! Phew!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] randymac88:
The wife's EVO is now fully rooted running Baked Snack 1.5 w/Netarchy's kernel. Touch and go there for a minute, but it all worked out. No 1.40 PRI, but I don't really care about that right now.

Woot! Thanks Seekis!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] FoxHound630:
do u have to push the pc36img with adb every time or will drag and drop work or copy and paste work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bmxrider4444:
You can mount the card on your system and copy paste it over as well, yes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] helfire1:
Had the same issue. When i first booked into the bootloader i had to select recovery then flash PC36IMG.zip. Then boot loop. Then i went back into the bootloader and it automagically read in the PC36IMG.zip and flashed it, then i got stock 2.1 root. Just a few minutes of "oh crap" ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] atom_jack:
I'm stuck. I got as far as flashing PC36IMG.zip, which was successful, as my phone now runs 2.1, but it doesn't appear I'm rooted. When I go back into the adb shell, I'm getting the $ prompt, and running

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

gives me a permission denied error. Help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] seekis:
i dont know what to tell you other than try again. this happened to me the first time through as well. i dont know why. i just started from the top and it worked the second time through.
[EVO 4G Android Development] atom_jack:
So after you flash PC36IMG.zip you should automatically get a root (#) prompt when going into the shell? ie, I'll have rooted 2.1 yes?

Aha. Ok, I will keep trying til it gives me a root shell, I guess. I also tried unrevoked3 but that didn't seem to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] atom_jack:
Success!! So, I stupidly assumed that all PC36IMG.zip's were the same, and was using the one from the original 2.2 PC thread. Once I got the correct one, voila!

You might want to post the md5 of the one you are using, so there's no confusion for others. Also, you missed a tiny step when you first start up hboot - you have to select fastboot for it to start scanning for PC36IMG.zip.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] seekis:
you shouldnt have to select anything. it should auto scan...and i will work on the md5's
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Just to let you all know, According to the team, Unrevoked works best on OSX. It is even simpler, never needing driver downloads or anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] atom_jack:
I actually tried Unrevoked3 earlier, using the Stock (unrooted, it appears) 2.1 image from your original thread, but had no luck. After unrevoked pushed it's stuff onto my phone and rebooted it, the phone came up but I had no root on it, and the OSX app just hung there on "Waiting for phone to reboot". Just FYI. I ended up using the 2.1 image from this thread (which is what I should have done in the first place) and it worked like a charm.

ps:Thanks for all your hard work :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] daving313:
Cannot get past this step at all using this method on my Mac (and get same error on my Win 7 machine). I'm guessing this is something to do with my phone? I've attempted multiple re-formats of my SDCARD and restarts. Any workarounds?

$ My-MacBook-Pro:tools user$ ./adb shell

# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

# chmod 755 /data/flash_image

# /data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

[EVO 4G Android Development] FoxHound630:
+1

it was way easier on my mac. Thanks regaw!
[EVO 4G Android Development] mac_evo:
Have you tried re-downloading the file?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SublimeMogul:
Won't work on my mac either

I get the the first flash and where you enter this string.

"adb shell

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

chmod 755 /data/flash_image

/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img"

It then tells me it can't find mtd-eng.img. Do I need to repair anything on the phone if I don't want to try anymore at the moment? I mean other then formatting and recovering my SD card data?
[EVO 4G Android Development] atom_jack:
Did you copy mtd-eng.img to /sdcard/ properly? Do you get any output when you enter this in the adb shell?:

ls -l /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

And as for not continuing at this point, you can just leave it as is and it won't affect anything. Why would you want to format anything?
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
and you don't need the -l, no need to list permissions and take up more space in Terminal,

and this misc flash HAS to be done for the rest to work
[EVO 4G Android Development] atom_jack:
Yeah, I just figured with the -l there'd be more output than just the filename, so he'd be sure to see something there (if he's not too familiar with command prompts). And I thought the other part was asking if he could just put the rooting process on hold without it screwing up the phone, unless I'm just confused :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
ah, i misread his wrong lol that's what he meant.. my bad hehe. Nothing is wrong if you postpone the rooting for now.

[EVO 4G Android Development] seekis:

[EVO 4G Android Development] 4x4jumper:
i renamed my folder "asdk" it still does it...
[EVO 4G Android Development] seekis:
i dont know why its doing that to you, it should work fine...

are you the administrator on the computer?

have you tried rebooting?

i have no idea why its not working for you.

anybody else have any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4x4jumper:
yes i have rebooted, i am the admin....

kinda sucks :(

i hope i dont go though all this and get the "main version is older" like i have with others....
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
as long as the flashing of the misc partition goes as planned, you won't get that error. That's the only reason you will get it.

Thanks for the great guide. Worked great with my EVO that I stupidly applied OTA updates on for months before attempting rooting. Succeeded where every other guide failed!

Also of note: instructions worked perfectly on PC using adb commands with ASDK.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geauxt:
Let me first say I'm a noob to this whole rooting thing and I would like to get some more info on. I tried searching the forums for the answers, but I failed to find what I was looking for.

1) What is this nand people are talking about? RUU? ROM (what's the difference between sense and no sense)?

2) How do I backup my apps, etc before trying to root?

3) Which guide do I use? My Evo came with 2.1, but I did the stock update to Froyo.- I don't wanna end up with a 500 paperweight.

4) If I need to bring my phone in for service how do I return it to stock?

5) I know you can turn your phone into a free wifi hotspot after rooting, what are some other advantages to rooting?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pbrussell:
ok now let me remind you im not far ahead of you so let me tell you i would wait for a few more posts before taking what i have to say to heart, but i cant leave someone i may be able to help (even a little in need)....

1. the phrase "NAND" refers to the term nandroid backup, which is when you create a backup file. like a system restore point for windows, so when u start doing some different customizations or just try flashing some different roms assuming something goes wrong you will always be just one click away from doing a restore back to a fully functioning rom that you backedup previously. i believe the 2 main programs associated with this is amon_ra and clockwork.....

2. as far as backing up apps i just save the .apks on my pc and reinstall them once i reflash a new rom, but from what im reading you can use a program like titatnium backup, app brain...etc. but then again as far as personal experience goes...none here just what ive gathered from reading.

3. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765496

(personally ive rooted with this method and it was very simple just read through the steps before starting and follow them accordingly, dont be discouraged general computer knowledge is needed though) or atleast the ability to move about the computer)

4. returning your phone from the method discribed below is simple as it seems...but again have not done personally only from what ive read: you are rooted (assuming you've used the thread above) with unrevoked3 meaning you have s-off(in laymen terms: the position of the bootloader {ON or OFF} which checks images being flashed to make sure they are signed with the htc security signature),,,you just need to download the unrevoked s-ON file and use that to return the phones security settings and re-download an RUU(RomUpdateUtility) thats official from the htc site and ull be back to unrooted good old-fashion stock evo.

5. and as far as the wifi tethering goes just go to the market place and download a wifi tethering .apk, once rooted of course ....and run it from your evo to connect to your pc wirelessly

*this should help*

http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/Wifi-tether-download-76020.html

and as far as why root, well because when you buy a phone i assume you wanted it to be YOUR phone and with rooting its all about flashing opensource/custom roms to your phone and other things such as kernels to customize the phone to your liking and you cant flash unsigned data to your phone without having su permission, meaning you need ROOT access....

-now again let me disclaimer myself i am also very very new to the whole android community and may be spewing lots of wrong info and am probably quite confused my self but i figure id risk making a fool of my self to help u in the off chance that what im saying makes any sense at all....but yea

I have a bad memory leak and also bad battery life. When i restart the pone the memory will be around the mid 200s then a few hours later it will around 60mb. Coming from a blackberry im used to mem leaks but this is just ridiculous. Also the battery drops 50% after around 3-4 hrs only sending texts nothing else. I used my storm all day and at night i would have 40% left.

How do i go about finding mem leaks on this thing? Also how do i do a factory rest?

Hi everyone...

I upgraded my phone a while back, and once again need many new accessories.. I already have a HTC branded spare battery... but seeing as my Touch Pro cradle will not charge the spare battery nor dock my TP2, I need a new cradle.. anyone here have a spare/extra one they want to see that will work with a US Cellular branded TP2?

On many websites they say they only work with tmobile, or only att, or only VZW, or only sprint... I need one that will work properly for my phone... and I really need the battery charger slot.. actually right now I would even settle for just a battery charger... Let me know what you have.... or if you can reccomend a decent cheap one from some site. I got my Touch Pro one for under $10..... I would like a simmilar price range... I also am up to trade my touch pro cradle with a number of extra batteries for one... Thanks in advance!
