[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChrisAC84:
If this is in the wrong section, I do apologize. I have a friend who wants me to root his phone for him, but he has done all the OTA updates. Here is the info

Android2.2

Software# 3.29.651.5

Pri version 1.77_003

Prl version 60670

Browser version webkit 3.1

Baseband version 2.15.00.09.01

What is the best method for rooting? I used the Simple Root program to root mine, but I don't think that works on 2.2:confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cetvxs:
Look in the Android Development section for rooting 2.2. It's not nearly as easy as simple root but the instructions are pretty clear and straightforward.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixjn:
unrEVOked 3.21 works fine for rooting now

doesn't NAND unlock though. I just found that out. Now I'm looking for another solution. Can't seem to find SimpleRoot anywhere on the forum
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricsim78:
Unrevoked 3, the newest version, does unlock NAND. I use that method and it worked well and required only few clicks. I also rooted using the old method, Unrevoked 3 worked just as well and I am Nand unlocked.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiDefinition:
Apparently not. I used Unrevoked 3 last night to root my Evo and when I tried to install BusyBox it gave me a failed message saying something along the lines of "....or you are not NAND unlocked" If I'm missing something please let me know. Im ready to flash Fresh3.3 but I dont want to make any moves until I'm absolutely sure I've done everything right
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debugguy:
Flash unrevoked 3. 21, reboot, check everything then flash unrevoked forever. But before this flash the latest version of ARMON RA, 1. 8 I think. Afterwards do a android backup FIRST. Then root. Be sure to click the "more " link at the unrevoked site, go through ALL the docs first.

That would be nandroid backup. Do ARMON ra first, then backup, then root.

It does unlock nand, but the first ota overwrites it that's why you also flash unrevoked forever, get it... forever.

Ok I'll have to try this later on tonight. Off to work now. Is this still easier than using SimpleRoot because I just downloaded that as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiDefinition:
Just so we have this straight. I've already flashed Unrevoked. I have S-Off and Super User and all of that.

You're saying to reflash, Reboot, check and make sure everything is cool.

Then run Unrevoked Forever BEFORE or AFTER runnin AmonRa? In the unrevoked menu I can choose my own recovery shouldn't I just do it there?

After then root again?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthewjulian:
Ok brother, 1)Run Unrevoked 3.21 using AmonRa when that is done 2)Make a Nandroid 3)You need to put Unrevoked Forever on your SD card and flash that, its that simple, now you are rooted, S-off, nand unlocked etc....

Have fun man, always remember NANDROID, NANDROID, NANDROID!!!!!!

It has saved my ass multiple times, it doesn't matter how advanced a user you think you are EVERYONE makes mistakes.:D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrapkgb:
There is no need to flash unrevoked forever if you root with unrevoked 3.21. It is already included. And if you want confirmation look at the faq for ur3.21.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixjn:
This. I was about to say the same thing. UnrEVOked 3.21 does 3 things: Root, NAND unlock and S-OFF all in a nice little executable. Once you get that wonderful "Done" on unrevoked's application you are done and can flash away any custom ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinscuzzy:
I used the old 2 part root method and MY evo has been rooted since June. Now my friend wants his rooted. He has also done all the ota updates. If I do unrevoked 3.21, will I be able to unroot if he ever needs to take his phone back to Sprint ??? I've read a bunch of mixed results.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohuge:
All,

I've seen lots of info saying that a EVO 4G that came with 2.2 can't be rooted but based on what I'm seeing here that looks to be outdate info? Are you guys saying that unrevoked 3.21 is meant to be used on a EVO that comes with 2.2 or one that was already rooted?? Might be a dumb question but nothing out there clearly states this...

Thanks,

Help! I had 'rooted' with unrevoked, and was running Baked Snack.

Now I tried to 'really' root using the guide at geekfor.me (http://geekfor.me/faq/how-to-root-your-evo-4g/) which involved downloading PC36IMG.ZIP and letting the bootloader (?) flash it.

It ran through all the files in there, updated, then asked if I wanted to reboot.

But now it won't boot! I'm stuck in the bootloader! What do I do? Should I try unrevoked again?

(Can't access sdcard via adb.)

Info on screen:

SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF

I dont kno much but did you rename the pc36img? I know with other methods yo uhave to rename the file so the bootloader doesnt read it everytime you boot.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
What version of Unrevoked did you use?

If anything else, download the RUU from the Dev section and start over...but you really shouldn't have to. We need to know where you stand with how far in the root you were in.

Forgive me, I've been rooted since the original release so I never had to deal with Unrevoked, but isn't Hboot .79 what is returned on the new one? If that's the case, NAND should be unlocked with a custom recovery installed. Go to the bootloader menu and select Recovery. If a custom recovery is installed, You can select the USB-MS Toggle to access your SD card and upload any custom ROM. Just move it to the root on your card, wipe, wipe, wipe and flash.

If you don't have a custom recovery, you should be able to flash one with S-Off...someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Download this: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=342667&d=1276481776

and this: ftp://ftp.relentlessaddictions.com/recovery.img

Since you can't access your SDcard on your phone. Either use an adapter and SD Card reader on your PC, un-rar those files to the root of your SDcard.

If not, if you have the Android-SDK, put those files in the tools folder in the directory you have it saved and we can push them via adb

adb push flash_image.zip
adb push recovery.img

Then flash the recovery:

adb shell
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery

I've edited the framework-res.apk and added the original android emotions replacing the default ones . This framework-res.apk is the blue theme , not the new black one. ( I still like the blue )

Pic attached ( sorry for the low quality )

( COPY framework-backup-res.apk to sdcard and rename it to framework-res.apk )

I found out a way hw not to brick your phone during this process , go to settings>applications>development>Stay awake (click) , once you screen is on -

*** adb shell

*** su

*** mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

*** busybox cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

The long way is to use ADB and a couple of files. The short way is to download ROM manager and use it to flash either clockwork or amon RA

Both cases require you to have root on your phone already

Yah easiest way to change from amon ra to clockwork is to use Rom manger and flash the clockwork recovery. Although not sure why you would want to do that since amon ra makes better nand backups....

[Desire Themes and Apps] _Dennis_:
Hello desire community,

I just though of an idea. I like the look of the lock screen on sense, but i miss the option to have two sliders (one to unlock, one to silence). What is someone could build a slider that can slide up and down, plus has a slider point in the middle that can slide either left or right. I have attached an example but I am not a good artist so I hope you can understand what it means.
[Desire Themes and Apps] vnvman:
+1, that would be neat ;)
[Desire Themes and Apps] _Dennis_:
I thought so to but:

1) I don't know how to program that

2) I can't even draw it very well
[Desire Themes and Apps] BSAB:
Like WidgetLocker, perhaps?

http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetlocker-lockscreen/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
[Desire Themes and Apps] _Dennis_:
I have widget locker. I was thinking like the rotory slider but with one "slider" in the middle and four directions to slide.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Beaverman20:
This is what he wants except the places where it fades he wants it to rotate, and i agree would be cool. :D

Edit: this as in dragging up, and down, and rotationg side to side, would give it 4 ways to move instead of just one, and would take full effect of the possibilities of the HTC design...
[Desire Themes and Apps] _Dennis_:
Exactly I could imagine using up for dailer, down unlock, left mms, and right ringer. If it is in widgetlocker they could be customized
[Desire Themes and Apps] Kameo:
That's a really nice idea, i'd love to see such a feature.
[Desire Themes and Apps] blinde:
Nice idea but I can imagine the amount of unwanted actions in pocket etc.
[Desire Themes and Apps] elburna:
None because you would have to touch the middlepoint of the slider to make it work and thats veeeery unlikely....
[Desire Themes and Apps] noobandroid:
a better example would be Galaxy S Lockscreen i think

this style is what i like to have
[Desire Themes and Apps] Beaverman20:
that is just the vanilla android lockscreen :/
[Desire Themes and Apps] noobandroid:
yeah,well can anyone make one, i love to have it, make sure it is in zip though, and "easy install" mode

Sent from my HTC EVO
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixjn:
Up-to-date radios usually mean better performance or better battery life (in some cases both), so yes you should update your radio whenever you can.

Radio updates might be part of an OTA so while the OTA might bring a 4G/WiMAX radio update, an update for the CDMA radio and an update for the OS itself the radio update will only handle your radio, nothung else.

Hi there forgive me if there is a thread about this already but i have searched this forum completely and have not found a solution yet.

I have been having issues trying to bypass the setup on my g1 for the past few days as i have no data plan and there is no option to use a wifi access point, i have tried the ADB system but to no avail, and was looking at a thread and noticed someone said that there may be a rc rom that has been modified to allow the user to bypass the setup process. Is this true? Also i was wondering whether there is a rc that allows the user to use a wifi access point?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yellowfrizbee:
Anyone else having a lot of trouble not only adapting to this keyboard (lmao keep hitting ".com" instead of the "a" key)? But more importantly typing fast? Seems the keys might stick a little or perhaps are a little too resistive for my taste. I can usually correctly type but like I said, its slower than I feel the potential could be.

Also I know people are saying the hinge is not an issue but I beg to differ. In my usage, while I'm typing (totally upright) ill rest my two pointer fingers on the back of the screen (normal)....eventually it'll start to try and close as I'm typing MERELY from the very light pressure of me pressing my two pointer fingers on the very very under edge of the device. I really wish they used a normal sliding function.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuncaProfundus:
Its taking me a little bit of time to get acclimated but that's just because I don't have the dedicated number row. I also hit the quick key as opposed to alt I'm just stuck in G1 mode lol it took me awhile moving from the sidekick lx to the G1s keyboard so I imagine I break this one in soon enough
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericc191:
I would suggest exchanging it or returning it and waiting a couple weeks to make sure the next G2 you get is from a newer batch. Reports from users say their new G2s have a much tighter hinge.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linkage2424:
It's taking me quite a while to adapt as well. But that's normal. I've been on the G1's keyboard for 2 years... I could type on it without even looking - often did. But it's a rather big transition to go from that to the G2's keyboard, so I'd give it a couple weeks before criticizing the keyboard choice, personally :cool:
