Sorry Myn stepped out awhile. I DO have the Rosie 3.0 loaded and running fine EXCEPT for the news widget both large and small. I can put them on a home screen but they do not load any news. No force closes for me, they just don't work.

Welp...I'll be reading here but not doing much else with my shiny new Evo for a while.

Evidently, there's no Root for 2.3.3 / 4.22.651.2 yet.

I'm wondering if I can DOWNgrade my software somehow, so I can Root...

Anyone know?

:confused:

PS - I really love this thread...I've spent the last few hours researching Rooting this sucker and the way people in other threads treat each other is appalling.

And I sent a couple of PMs to a few people who seemed to know what they were doing and the responses were...well... not very nice.

Dicks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
That sucks Neil. Really sucks. Have you gone outside of xda and tried any of the other sites to find root for your new device?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Yup...checked a ton of leads but none panned out.

xHausx (Jon) just PM'd me saying he's working on a new root exploit that'll do it, but they're not quite there yet...

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
It never ever takes these guys long to get root. I doubt you have to wait long at all.

Ok, I have an idea - is there any way you can go BACK to the store and ask them for a replacement that does NOT have the most current OTA? Heck, at this point, it's just exchanging one new device for another new device. Maybe hit a few stores. They wont care why.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:

Once somebody finds a temporary root exploit, it shouldn't be too hard. Sadly, this is the hard part. gingerbreak doesn't work. For 3.30, we had rageagainstthecage. For 3.70, we had z4root. Now we have nothing. we need a custom root exploit lol.

Sorry, MultiQuote isn't working...but I thanked you all for the suggestions and comments.

I am frustrated as hell. A month of dicking around waiting for my USB port to be fixed properly, or get a refurb, and then they agree to give me a brand spankin' new Evo...

And I can't root it.

I can get into the bootloader, though, by going into Applications and UNchecking the FastBoot box, (which lets me do the hold-down-volume-press-power-button).

So I'm wondering if anyone knows what would happen if I put an older RUU (in PC36IMG.zip form) onto my SD Card root directory and go into the bootloader and let it run.

Any [educated] guesses?

:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] NxNW:
This thread is truly an outlier in terms of civility. People are so nice here it's completely un-representative of what it's like in other threads in the wider Evo forum. If you try to start

(yet another) thread saying "I can't seem to unroot 2.3.3" you better have your asbestos underwear on because you're about to experience the full brunt of all the worst trolls on XDA. Honestly, I was "surprised at how surprised you were" about this inability to recover from the latest RUU since it has been such a s-storm ever since June 6. It goes to prove that this thread is such an agreeable oasis of non-douche helpfulness that regular visitors seldom feel the need to venture out to the endless nightmare of noob-trashing threads that comprises the Evo General forum.

Downloading 6/26. Any word on the changes for tonight's nightly? Running 6/26 w/ Sense 3.0 with excellent results so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
that's why my policy, back in the days when i was using my evo 4g supersonic :)

you know - last wednesday morning

i would flash the rom, boot it up, let it do it's thing

ignore the sign in and let it sit a few minutes.

then go to market, sign in to google,

let the contacts and gmail sync.

(weather i set to once an hour and others manual)

when that all done.

back to recovery - wipe C & DC and make nan backup (top 3 in AR).

then nan restore my data only backup and reboot.

see how everything works.

sometimes an app would need to be updated, etc.

although this routine worked for me,

if it didn't, i would have gone back to recovery,

Calk's Format All, Wipe ALL,

then nan restore my BASE backup and reboot.

then restore apps & data using MyBackup Pro

and reset my settings & home screens manually.

worse case, My Apps in Market, you can click them

one after the other and install fresh.

@dj - you want to backup the UNinstalled apks don't you ?

as compared to INstalled apks ?

ie: swype.apk in /system/app won't work on its own

you need the swype.apk file (that would be downloaded)

that installs the lib file, no ?

Screw trying to root it ourselves. Take to Facebook and start spamming HTC's page again. We're still within our 30 days to return/exchange the phone if they don't do something fast. I don't care HOW they do it, at this point they HAVE to do it.

Comin' in a bit late, Fred...the comments the last few pages were started by me because I got a brand new 4G, to replace my damaged one (free, btw), and it's got Android 2.3.3 and S/W 4.2.2.651.2 on it WHICH CANNOT BE ROOTED as of today!!

I'd bet dollars to donuts the 3D will have Root before the 2 new S/W versions (mine's already been asked about an OTA...I passed) of the 4G do.

The 4G's now the bastard stepchild, so to speak...

but the 'real' sense 3.0 with more guts and horsepower

for race ready tuning and changes ...

i went back to the nook color to try out some things.

after all, Synergy prepared us well for the evo 3d !
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Really, the only reason I want root on my Evo 3D right now is for battery life. With low-medium usage, I got ~12 hours of battery life, which isn't so great. Maybe I've just been spoiled with my Evo's extended battery.

Hey Neil. So I guess you have rootless EVO too. :-)

My screen crapped out on me a couple days ago. Screen is all pink and green. I unrooted and took the ota. Taking it to Sprint tomorrow. It's within one year should I am expecting a brand new replacement. My concern was that the replacements ate coming with latest ota, and reading your post confirmed it. I am sorry to hear that.

I guess it is time for 3d :-) I wasn't going to upgrade so soon, but with a screen broken its kind of good timing. Also, my buddy Mr Adams is hooking me up. :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
I am glad i had my screen issues back in april, i think. got the screen replaced, was anticipating a refurb...but i got lucky, last screen in the repair shop, so i have a flawless screen on a launch day EVO, like new...will be easy to sell once I make my final decision on keeping the 3D, i am about 90% positive I am keeping it...
[EVO 4G Android Development] tommytomatoe:
Well, if all goes to plan I get a new EVO out of the box and sell it. Then get 3d. That's the plan. But you're a lucky one with the issues early on.

Hey is anyone else experiencing heavy lag when using the new live weather wall paper on synergy?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wase4711:

has anyone noticed any differences between 6-23 and 6-26?

6-23 is running so perfectly, just trying to find out if 6-26 is as nice!

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Excellent job on Synergy 6/26. Only issue is news widget with 3.0 Rosie add on. It is stuck on loading. If not for that, it would be perfect. I'm sure an update will be out very soon because others have noticed this too.:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I pretty much do the exact same thing.

The apks copied from the /data/app/ folder are installable apks. In other words, you can click on them and then select install and the app will install. As for Swype, I wouldn't even worry about it because it comes pre-installed.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
I've thought about it and, on the surface, I'm inclined to think that it should work, however, if it was just that simple, there would be nothing to exploit and folks like xHausx wouldn't have to spend time finding a workaround.

Can't you run an RUU from a previous release that is rooted? No interaction on the phone, it runs from your desktop. I may be wrong, not sure if it checks what version is currently running and disallows downgrade. Give it a shot, search for it in the forums. Can't hurt to try. Just know it will wipe your phone.

@dboftlp
[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Runs from your desktop but sends images to the phone over fastboot. And yeah, it definitely does version checking so it's highly unlikely (though I haven't tested, take this with a grain) that it's going to allow you to downgrade via RUU.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Actually, my method would run on the phone...

Downloading RUU (as PC36IMG.zip) to the root directory of my SD card, rebooting into bootloader and letting it automatically run the PC36IMG.zip in Fastboot.

I would try it, but I don't wanna brick the new phone...

Anyone have any really educated (as in "I've done this") ideas on this?

[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:

[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
This is not to single you out. I just thought I'd repeat something I've said previously. Even if my setup is running perfectly for me, I will still flash nightlys because this is the beta testing process. If I/we don't test the nightlys we can't find issues and report them so myn can fix them. I don't flash every single nightly because either I don't have time to flash every one, or a new nightly has changed so little from the one I am running that there really is nothing new to test. Sure, flashing so much may be an inconvenience for me but in the end we all benefit. :)

Clean install and a complete wipe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
For the last day and a half I was running 6/23 nightly with the .18 Rosie3 mod. While the full Sense 3 is nice, there was some lag (sometimes when I unlock the screen it took a moment for sense to load and other times there was a little lag when swiping through home screens). Nothing that was unbearable mind you, but it was there. I don't use the news widget but I tested it and like others reported, it wasn't working. The widget would stay stuck on loading. Last night I flashed 6/25 base and I have to say it flies and in true myn tradition, it is buttery smooth. I tested the news widget and they work just fine. As I said, Rosie3 is cool and all but other than that I see no real productivity gains. Until the Rosie3 addon becomes smoother, I'm sticking with the base Synergy.

Hey Neil. I just tried something out for you.

I am unroot as well, kind if. Preparing to take phone to Sprint store later. I just need to do s on.

I took the ota last night which numbed me to 4.24 and new hboot.

To test, I flashed the ota 3.70 pc36img just now and I was able to go back to 3.70 and also revert back to hboot 2.10. Keep in mind I am s off.

I'm not sure what this means to you since you are s on. I don't believe you are able to modify latest hboot yet, and being s on it also makes you hindered. It won't brick your device to try and flash the older ota in the bootloader. I'm not sure it will flash though. Something to think about

The 3D has been out less than a week, right? I believe it was widely known that the initial release would be locked. I'm not sure if threatening a class action lawsuit this early accomplishes anything. If I were speaking to mdp I'd say... In your excitement over the 3D, you knowingly bought a locked phone.To get upset this soon because it can't be rooted is a bit silly to me. Calm down and show some patience. Otherwise, just return the 3D and stick with your 4G (if you had one).
