Can I make a suggestion and ask for a quick guide on updating your recovery image? I have clockwork recovery mod from the first unrevoked tool and thought ROM Manager updated it (it says I am using 2.5.0.7) however whenever I flash a ROM it always says I am on 2.5.0.1. Not sure on how to update it and if I should rather apply the rule if it aint broke dont fix it :P.
[Desire General] K900:
Real nice, one flaw: you use volume keys to navigate in Clockwork (which is default for unrevoked) and trackball in amonra IIRC

[Desire General] NeoDriver:
Actually, Clockwork uses the trackball too :)

okay, so I ordered an htc hero cdma version and I'm most definitely going to root it. I don't know how, but I've already found a guide on how to do that. So my question is, aside from Wi-Fi tethering and overclocking the device, what other things can I do with it after rooting it? ...Can I download apps for free?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSpradlen:
Getting themes is another advantage. Check out impalers black and gold theme for cm6. As for free apps, google getandroidstuff. There are so many possibilities with rooting, you will just have to discover them as you go.

Hi,

If you are looking for an simpliest and easiest apk to manage your pc, I would advice Teamviewer that recently has an android edition too.

Got to install client on your pc, and that's it. One program allow you to controll multiply workstations, with loads of secure and presentation options.

I am using it for long time among my workstations, and am really happy to see it on android ;)

Best news = it is free for private usage.

By the way... if you really like an app... you should consider on supporting the developer.

I don't know what you do for a living but I'm sure you would be pissed if you had to start doing it for free because of your... resource(s).

But that's just my opinion anyway.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
Was wanting some more help with rooting my Evo for the first time. I know there are a lot of guides for n00bs out there but this stuff moves too fast and they are out of date.

Anyways, my phone is stock:

-Android 2.2

-Software number 3.29.651.5

-PRI version 1.77_003

-PRL version 60671

My intention was to use Unrevoked 3.21 but I read through ALOT of information from different sites and am thoroughly confused. Since my phone has all the recent OTA updates can it be rooted with this? And if so, I most definitely need to not take the Sprint OTA updates and wait for the "rooted" versions correct?

I like the Sense UI (but never used any others) and am happy with the phone the way it is. My hope is being able to use the hotspot feature and remove the bloatware from the phone.

Can anyone walk me through some of this (specific to my need)? As said before, I know there are already some n00b walkthroughs out there but most are too dated and some things apply and some don't which makes it very confusing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Unrevoked 3.21 is the way to go. I just used it to root my replacement evo and it worked beautifully. Here is the thread for it, just read it and follow the relatively easy instructions and you won't have any issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
Great.....thanks. This one is the most current I have seen.

I have read that if I take this route the phone could still be flashed back to a stock state in case warranty service (by Sprint) is needed. Am I still correct in assuming this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Absolutely. It is very easy to unroot and return your phone to stock.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
I'm going through the process now. However, my phone has rebooted and unrevoked3 has been sitting doing nothing for awhile. It still says:

Waiting for root...(safe to restart if this doesn't work)

Recovery image: ClockworkMod Recovery

This has been on there for around 5 min now. Do I re-run unrevoked at this point? Do I need to do anything with my phone? What happens if I re-run it and same thing happens?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
That happened to me the first time I did it. It worked fine the second. You're ok to run it again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
Nice....it was a success the second time. Thanks.

Now all I have to do is find out what to do from here! lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
You can find info on anything that you might want to do by searching the forums here at xda and by using google. I recommend reading up as much as you can before you start deleting or flashing anything.

The best piece of advice I can give you is to do a nandroid backup before you modify ANYTHING on your phone. That means do one right now so if by chance you screw something up, you can always restore it and be back to where you started. If you don't know what a nandroid is or how to do one, use the search feature here or once again, google.

Good luck and welcome to the xda community :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mainstang:
Sorry to jump in on the post but metalhead has been so helpful to how I would like to root. I have searched for nandroid, nandriod backup, and back up nand. None of theme gave a clear path for tutorial. If you could lead me in the right direction I think that this should be made a sticky.

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverStone641:
Do you know what recovery you flashed? regardless, there are two ways to go about it. 1. turn your phone completely. hold Power and VOL - until the boot menu appears, use volume to move the selection and power to select. pick recovery. nandroid backup.

2. get Rom Manager(market). it has a one-touch button to reboot into recovery. easy peasy.

each recovery is different. Whether you have RA or Clockwork or some other third thing, you will get the same result, you just have to go about it differently.

good luck!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
I'm back post root! However, have some questions that I haven't been able to find answers to.

1) Am I OK to take my phone out of USB debug mode, or does it need to stay like that?

2) Can I re-install HTC sync and will it work with all ROMS?

3) I downloaded ROM Manager and Titanium Backup (both paid). When flashing a new ROM, all settings are gone as well as apps from the market. Is there a way to restore a rom without having to go back and re-download ROM Manager from the market then use it to restore? It takes to darn long to reboot the phone into recovery and restore that way.

Also with Titanium Backup, since it just backs up apps what is the point of doing a backup with it? If a complete image is saved by whichever backup you do, all apps in that image will be restored as well. When would anyone ever need to restore just the apps from before with the same rom?

4) Can I do a batch flash with a custom ROM and a custom theme? Or should I do the ROM first then the theme? I wouldn't think the theme can be applied until the ROM is flashed first. I'm not sure if ROM Manager will do this in a specific order.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverStone641:
1) i would leave it enabled. it doesn't hurt anything and there are a lot of programs and modifications that use it.

2) in the half dozen roms i've tried, HTC sync does work. i am curious though. what are you using it for?

3) i'm not 100% clear on what you want, but i'll try my best. if all you're wanting to do is restore to a previous rom(for instance, if you flashed a rom to test it out and hate it) as long as you did a nandroid backup BEFORE flashing the rom, you can restore with all your settings and apps in place.

with TB i back up with it in such a way that it preserves all my settings and apps(including PLACEMENT of the apps on my docks and home screens) This is very useful. i'm not really sure why you don't see the significance in TitaniumBackup. it would be an absolute PAIN to restore all your apps from the market. or even better, REMEMBER which apps you had installed after a flash.

4) i would ALWAYS flash a rom first, reboot, check it out to make sure it loads properly. i know it takes a while but it's better to wait, then to try and flash everything at once and frag your phone. it's your phone of course, so do as you wish, but my advice is to flash the rom, reboot, then flash your theme.

good luck!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CCallahan:
Good stuff to know.....thanks.

In response to #2........I'm using HTC sync to sync my contacts/calendar between the phone and Outlook. I do not like using Google apps for this and HTC makes it easy to sync with this program.

In response to #3......You did answer my question. Just wanted to know if there was a faster way to recover (maybe a trick through ROM Manager) that I didn't know about.

To explain more about my Titanium Backup question......now that i think about it I guess if a custom ROM is flashed, one can re-download Titanium and restore all apps/locations on the new ROM setup, which would make things incredibly easier than downloading/placing/sizing apps individually. But, will it also restore widgets with the size/screen placement as well?

those are real buttons u have to push down

[Legend General] xxbeanxx:
I encountered the same problem after installing a Zagg screen protector. From reading around it seems maybe I pressed too hard with the squeegee when applying it. I got a replacement phone.

Every once in a while I experience the same thing with my new phone if I have it in my pocket for a while. Usually the touch comes back if I just set it aside and don't touch it for a while.

Seems like the legend screens are suseptible to damage from too much pressure on the screen.

I read a forum post on here somewhere from someone who claimed to fix the issue by using duct tape on the screen (applying it then peeling it back off to lift the screen a little).

I just confirmed that it works for CM6...tried the latest nightly version. Only thing that its not working is the camcorder. But the apps are able to read emmc, but not sure if mounting as a drive on Windows works (I use a Mac). So far it is working pretty stable.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Ok. After playing with the CM6 + Koush test2 kernel I can report that there might still be issues with the SLCD. I used the phone all day (after wiping battery stats and bump charge) and the batter stats showed that the screen had used more than 50% of the battery. With all the kernels I've tried in Sense ROMs the screen has always been under 7%. I always keep the brightness in the Dim setting so these battery results don't make sense to me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samuraixzodus:
I was able to get shadow rom and cm6 to work with test 2 kernel. Had issues with batt life on cm6. Shadowrom worked well...but I reverted back to ruby. Great to know that these roms are capable of working on a slcd screen! Thanks everyone for the help!

SamuraiXDroid
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Were you able to read emmc withing the phone (Gallery app, sound settings-> ringtones, etc) with ShadowROM? I was only able to see emmc with Astro File Manager. The 3D Gallery app and the sound setting for ringtones could not see my emmc data. Maybe I just didn't waited long. I re-install Ruby and it took a good 15min before I was able to see my pictures/ringtones in emmc.

Was the battery life really bad with CM6? One thing I noticed with both ShadowROM and CM6, while using Koush test2 kernel, was the battery stats where "out of whack"...meaning that the top usage was for the screen (more than 50%), even though I always have brightness on "DIM" setting. Normally for Sense ROMs the screen battery usage is 7% or less (for me). I'm thinking the drivers for the SLCD are still not working properly.

That's a bug (or poor design choice) in Sense ROMs. Your display should always be the highest user of power, by far.

Question:

So I installed CM and flashed the koush test kernel.

Before I did this, I backed up my Virtuous 3.1 rom in RM.

Now, when I boot into recovery, I wipe data/cache, flash the custom kernel for Virtuous again, and try to restore my Virtuous rom and it says MD5 mismatch.

Can I not go back to V 3.1 again? Or do I have to re-install via Rom Manager? And then restore my backup?

I wanted to install CM and back it up so I could mess with it in the future but I want my old backup back for now.

Halp!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piihb:
Only thing I can offer is if you renamed your backup folder, you CAN NOT have spaces in the folder name. go back and rename the folder this time without spaces and that should fix the MD5 checksum error. Good Luck!
