These are the files that are on the HTC EVO link

Here are the files that are on the HTC EVO Device link on the compatible list.

It does state that you might have to compile a compatible kernal to have no errors.

Not sure what that means.

Here's the link if you guys want to check it out.

umm im using cm6 i cld test it lol is it as easy as flashing then sliding the usb nto the ps3 -_-

or do i have to go get back up manager and put it in root of sd -_-
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PikkonX:
Sure.

1. Drop both files above onto the root of your phone SD card.

2. Go into recovery and flash the "enable" zip and reboot the phone.

3. When the phone is done rebooting, turn off the power switch in the back of the PS3 (unplug if you have a slim).

4. Plug the phone into the USB port all the way on the left and turn the power switch back on/plug in.

5. Press the PS3 power button and then quickly press the eject button (PS3 will take longer than usual to boot up).

When you scroll over to the "Game" folder you'll see "Install Package Files" and an App folder. To get your phone back to normal, go into recovery, flash the "disable" zip and reboot.

what does disable_psfreedom do exacrly? does it revert to your previous kernel or just install the stock one?

EDIT:

nevermind, checked about -> software, in settings and it installs another kernel:

2.6.32.15

now to find whats different between stock and his
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dipster:
Hey Pikkon,

THanks for your help. but did you use amon? or clockwerk? also when you were done with the flashing, did you use the disable flash, then reinstalled the stock 3.2 fresh kernal?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PikkonX:
I'm using the Amon recovery. I haven't disabled anything yet, but I think it'd be best to flash the disable zip and then go back and reflash Fresh 3.2 to get his stock kernel.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
this should be interesting well good luck to those in the first wave hopefully everything goes well and hopefully sony lets it go as is with just a firmware fix and nothing more.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amco:
What doesn't work when using enable? Won't it be easier to leave it in enable mode since you need it to run the hack.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
While you *could* do that you don't want to. To get this to work we needed to disable the usb functionality. The phone will still charge but it will not allow for usb mass storage, adb, etc. There are ways around this though. There are apps on the market that allow for adb over wifi and mass storage over wifi. Your call there. So you can but most wont want to.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PikkonX:
I know wifi doesn't work when using "enable", I can't recall what else right off hand. 3G works fine though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philosuffer:
I could be wrong, but after examining the zips, the disable.zip just installs/reverts to the stock 2.2 Evo kernel.

Also, I can't test right now, but if you just adb push the following files from the enable.zip:

15psfreerom to /system/etc/init.d/

psfreedom.ko to /system/lib/modules/

And then fastboot boot SSBootNew.img to temporarily boot the PSFreedom kernel. This should be another way to do it. By temporary, it means the kernel will only last until the phone is rebooted.

Just an alternative way to go about it...I guess not everyone will have fastboot enabled if they used unrevoked forever (if I understand correctly), so for most people it will just be easier to flash enable/disable/then their kernel for their own peace of mind.

Edit: Maybe just better to flash enable/disable then kernel of choice. There's an update-binary script and I don't know what that does.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amco:
Understandable. I ordered the teensy developmental board to use but it is back-ordered for at least two weeks. I guess I will try the EVO out to get the feel of it when I get home from work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckhriczko:
Ok so does this psfreedom.ko module allow for backup manager or not yet? If so how do you go about installing backup manager?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amco:
I believe you download the backup manager pkg and install it through your usb.

One more question. I tried flashing the enable zip on Ava_Froyo and it didn't boot. Can someone else with this rom try it and see if it will boot for them?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PikkonX:
Yeah you drop the manager.pkg onto the root of another USB device and install it under "Install Package Files". BTW I tried it on CM6 Final and it froze at the white Evo screen. I had to switch to Fresh to get this to work.

Edit: I've not backed up any of my games yet to see if the manager is fully working in this release.

Been reading the thread. Once backup package is instAlled do u always need the evo plugged in while playing backups all the time or is this a one time. Experienced here. Have hacked Wii,xbox 360, and rooted many phones.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PikkonX:
Sounds right to me until this starts getting compiled into other kernels. The Evo doesn't have to be plugged in at all times when playing a backup, it only needs to be used to get the PS3 booted up so that you can access the manager.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denero1:
using cm6 -_- i flash it but it just sits at boot screen with htc evo 4g logo >.<
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v_lestat:
this is EXACTLY what i was going to ask.

does the EVO need to be plugged in to make this work on the PS3.

i only ask because the thumb drive device we can buy requires that it be plugged in all the time when you want to play games off the hard drive.

if this is the case then this enable, disable will never work because you would be constantly flashing kernels back and forth back and forth.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amco:
The Evo needs to be plugged in for the hack to work, so if you turn off the system you need to repeat the steps in order to see the backup manager again.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
and it starts lol. ah well hopefulyl sony did as little with the PS3 as they did with PSP. will be happy if they dont find a way to crack down on those using this. i am just not willig to risk a ps3 with how expensive they are jsut yet specially since there is very little to no homebrew apps out and very little to no games to download (if thats your thing) yet. I guess backing up my own games and playing them might be nice but as i've said a ton already not willing to risk it till we see what sony does now that so many diffrent devices can use the hack.

This hack is based on a stock kernel, so it may hang on certain roms. For me, it hung on the bootscreen, but the hack still worked.

NOTE: Original enable zip had a typo. Updated the link

Confirmed working:

Fresh 3.2

Hangs on:

Ava7

CM 6

Enable Zip with backup support: http://www.mediafire.com/?0ms4uk3vvtz9rr1

Disable Zip: http://www.mediafire.com/?o2ajzqetah6ncir

1. Copy enable_psfreedom_Evo4g_BDVM.zip and disable_psfreedom_Evo4g.zip to root of Sdcard

2. Boot to recovery image.

3. flash enable_psfreedom_Evo4g_BDVM.zip

4. Reboot your phone

5. Turn off via switch/unplug PS3, plug in your phone via USB

6. Turn on PS3 switch, push power and immediately press eject. (I hold it down for a few seconds, YMMV) Let go and it should power on

7. In the Game menu, you should see an Install Package option.

8. Locate and copy Backup Manager to a USB drive. Plug it into your USB and install it using the Install Package option.

Using the disable_psfreedom_Evo4g_BDVM.zip will flash a stock kernel to your device which may also hang on you. To get around this, I extracted the boot.img from the rom that I use. I replaced the SSBootOld.img that is in the disable_psfreedom_Evo4g_BDVM.zip file with the rom kernel. That way when I flash the disable, it flashes my rom kernel and I am back in business.

Easier solution: Nandroid backup before you flash the enable zip.

Won't Work For Me

I have put the enable and disable zip files on the root of my sd card and the backup manager pkg file on my flash drive but still won't jailbreak whenever I follow the instructions. I turn my ps3 off with the switch in the back and then turn it back on and hit the eject button quickly after I flashed the enable zip and rebooted my evo. My evo is stuck on the white screen with the logo... on my ps3 there is no "install package files" directory so I can't install backup manager. What am I doing wrong...? and how do I get my phone to turn back on normally....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagnasty:
When you hit eject, you have to be quick. Does it beep when you press it? If it gives you a couple beeps, you were toos slow. What rom are you running?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v_lestat:
ok see this is what bothers me and makes the hack such a ball buster.

i thinks its extremely awesome it works but if every single time i turn on my PS3 and want to play games from the hard drive, i have to have my EVO plugged in and flashed with the enable.zip, then this is an absolute no go for me.. period.. not going to work.

flash phone, hack ps3, copy games to hard drive, play... time to go to bed.. flash phone back or nandroid backup... go to work,, come home, want to play some games,,, flash phone again... run the power on.. eject, (again), find and run the backup manager.. play some games... revert phone back to normal... go to bed...

repeat above steps each and every time i want to play games off my hard drive.....

sorry, not for me.

awesome awesome work to all the devs, but i personally will wait until this is able to run on a native android phone, no flashing required. just an app that we run like wifi tethering.

i know this is probably the objective and its getting there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scristopher:

so i was checking out the forums.... did some searching and kinda got lost... so i decided it was time to join and see what i can find out..... got my evo a couple days ago... first thing i thought when checking out my phone is how i can change the theme...

i figured that such a powerful phone it should be possible to do it.... well i found themes and other info... but it all seems contradictory.... some sites and info it seems i need to "root" my phone (which i'm not sure what that is still).... others say i need to "rom" my phone (again still not sure what that is either)...

so what do i need to know to change the theme of my phone? what other things should i know about my phone (besides the basics i read in the guide)?

is it possible to create my own theme for the phone? or is it very complicated?

sorry if this is a repost i did search and as i said i kinda got lost and confused.. it's obviious you all are smart and some of the terms and info you put out kinda has me scratching my head.... it there's a way to explain it simply i can probably understand...

[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
the reason you get a lot of different information depending on where you look is because there are multiple options for themes depending on what exactly you are looking for. there are some things that can be done without root. for example many launchers (OpenHome ADW etc) will let you download themes made for it which give you different icons and backgrounds. Other options are to go with a launcher liek Launcher Pro and youcan change your dock around a lot, you can download folder organizer or application organizer and make folders with custom icons, you can use better cut to change icons on single applications. All these you can do with out needing root.

what you will need root for is if you want a theme that changes the rosie UI, changes the menus(ie adds color) or changes the notification icons\color of the top bar, and even changing fonts used by the rosie ui itself

if you dont care about that stuff then you dont actually have to root, though i suggest it anyway, to change your theme.

Yes, there is newer official ROM, you can find it directly on HTC site.

Or you can try any custom ROM - there are lots of them, you just need to try (or do some reading first which one suits you best (they differ from very clean to "fully loaded" with tons of software, also some have "stock" look, some are fully customized).

Don't forget in case you choose to try custom ROM - first you need to update your SPL to some version of HSPL (exact version is not important, you may flash latest 2.08.HSPL directly), then you need to flash Radio (look which versions are recommended by the chief of the ROM you choose to update) and only then flash ROM itself.
