Josh I have original eng boot with s-off and I flashed unrevoked forever just in case I decided to upgrade the hboot later . My hboot still shows eng s-off and flash said it was successful. Should I see still see eng in my hboot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joshua_:
If you flashed Forever, it will still say ENG; there isn't an easy way to tell if it's a hard-S-OFF or soft-S-OFF if you have the ENG loader. But yes, if you flashed Forever, you are now hard-S-OFF, and it's OK if it still says ENG -- you just have to remember that you did flash Forever!
[EVO 4G Android Development] starkillers:
Cool, yeah it put a log on my SD card that said successful. Figured I would forever flash as some people lost s-off updating hboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] m3Jorge:
Will this help downgrade HBoot for those that had Unrevoked Forever and upgraded HBoot to 2.10? or is the Hboot still locked!?

[EVO 4G Android Development] phat_red:
ok, i got s-off but can boot into recovery. i use pc36img, just cant get into recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Okay, so u lashed zip and got s-off... Place pc36img.zip onto root of sdcard and then powered off the phone... The you hold down power and volume down button at same time... Hboot should pop up and search for pc36img.zip automatically... It should find it and then ask if you want to proceed to update... Then you press volume up key and it will update.... Boot phone regularly, attach to computer.... Remove pc36img.zip from root of sd card... Shut phone down.... Hold down power and volume down at same time. Hboot will pop up again and look for pc36img.zip / since u removed it it will find nothing press volume down until recovery... when recovery is highlighted press power button.. you will be in recovery.... Just make sure you get the pc36img.zip file from unrevoked site... I downloaded the one for clockwork as I have never had a problem with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rydah:
Flashed forever, says s-off but no ENG... is that normal?

Edit: Disregard that. Answer was already answered.

So if I use unrevoked forever, I won't be able to unroot it in case I need take it back to sprint?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tiffany84:
Got a question. I rooted using the original method from reginaw when 2.2 first got rooted using the long adb method. I also flashed unrevoked forever and the eng.76 boot loader. Since I just recently flashed the new radio but I'm still showing s-off, do I need to reflash unrevoked forever? Thanks for any help u can give.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gotshores:
Is there any benefit of the newest Hboot? I originally rooted my phone back in Sept with unrevoked 3.21. It had hboot .92 i believe, but then i flashed the eng .76 bootloader. Everything has been great. But recently I flashed caulkulin's all in one PRI, PRL, WIMAX, and RADIO. My phone has been booting, but I noticed it stays on the flash screen for a good amount of time, sometimes it will even hang up on the flash screen and I have to do a battery pull. Would it benefit me to flash the latest s-off, update OTA to 3.70 and follow the rest of the directions? Thanks for any help you can spare.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joshua_:
You sure can -- just do a Nandroid backup, run the S-ON zip, and then RUU with a stock RUU. Then, when you get the phone back, root it again, Nandroid restore, and you're in business!

(I had to take my phone to Sprint today to replace a cracked camera lens and to deal with the b-spot, and did just this; they didn't suspect for a minute that it was rooted... even though I was wearing my unrevoked t-shirt!)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tiffany84:
Hey joshua, can u help me out with this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joshua_:
No need to rerun forever after updating the radio.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gotshores:
Alright, i answered my own question. Since I seemed to be having issues with lag at the splash screen (and sometimes even stalling out there), I went ahead and did a couple of things. I previously came from the .76 ENG hboot and had updated all radio's with caulkulin's all in one flash. My phone already read s-off, so i ran a pc36img of 3.29 stock. Once i had that up and running, I checked for updates and updated OTA to 3.70. This gave me all the new radio's and hboot.

When I went into the bootloader, it still read s-off so i rebooted. I ended up running the z4root app, rebooted again, and I had superuser. I then downloaded ROM manager and flashed a custom recovery successfully. Now I'm running the re-engineered 3.70 ROM. Hboot and all my radio's are updated from stock. I don't have the hang up or longer-than-usual pause at the splash screen anymore and everything works and is running smoothly.

thanks leenypost!!! found my problem....a dum dum....forgot to uninstall htc sync!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
You're very welcome...

I just wanted to say that certain hardware setups are having problems with clockwork recovery and there is one particular amon-ra that is compatible with both older and newer hardware. I have since switched to that one just to avoid any possible problems arising. It is downloadable in this section. Here's the link. It's in first post with instructions on how to flash it under the section titled (if you have broken recovery).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045

Just know that once you flash to this recovery method you can not restore your backups made with clockwork!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Matt_TX:
Sorry for the potentially dumb question, but I don't get the big deal here. When I ran this on my phone (HBOOT 2.02 HW004 with latest update), I just downgraded the radio first, and everything went fine. What's the issue? I used the method described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=829045
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Not everyone wants to downgrade radios. It is a potentially unsafe thing to do.... So if you have the newest radio then flash the newest zip and be happy. :)

New phone can't root

I've got a new Evo with the new radio and unrevoked is not working on it, can anyone tell me if there is a way to root it or do I have to wait for a new one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dhMassacre:
unrevoked or unrevoked forever?
[EVO 4G Android Development] thedeportee:
I should have said that I'm having trouble flashing the recovery.

The Flash_package.exe is not working as it should. I've used it before on the Evo but this is a new Evo I've got and when running the program it restarts my phone into bootloader and I am able to click hboot usb, the drivers are installed and the phone restarts into the OS with no recovery.

I am also using radio 2.15.00.11.19 the phone came with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Unrevoked forever works with your radio version but unrevoked the automated process launched by that .exe file does not. Zikronix has a thread on how to root your phone. And whatever you do... Make sure you use amon-ra recovery... Only the one in zikronix thread... Your phone is sure to have different partitions than the older ones and any other recovery will break it.

Unrevoked evo 4g video

Hi Guys,

I'm a noob at rooting my evo 4g. Can anyone make a video to show how to root forever using unrevoked with the newest radio baseband version 2.15.00.11.19 step by step. That would be great.....

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
I rooted my phone (I think) using I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe (I think). Looking at the phone with SUPER MANAGER the ENABLE ROOT function is NOT checked off. Does that mean my phone is not rooted? Is there another way of telling if my phone is rooted? I read somewhere that you need an unrooted phone in order to get the AT&T froyo 2.2 which hopefully will be released any day now. If I need the phone unrooted to get the update is there an easy way to unroot it that will not wipe out my programs and data?

Thanks for any help.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Ummmmm did you or didn't you run that program while in download mode? If you are unsure about that then I suggest you stop trying to mod your phone for a while and do some reading.

As far as being unrooted, no one knows. But I can tell you I plain don't care about an official release from att. I will continue to use roms that are developed by folks around here. they are better than anything that att can put out.

Pirate, I have been a member here for a long time, & been doing a lot of reading since I got this phone. I have never seen so many people get bricked and that scares me. I tried to root the phone just in order to make backups....I am a backup freek and for good reason. My last phone was the DASH 3G (still have it). I got the HTC Windows phone but only kept it a couple of weeks before realizing how far it has to go. The Captivate is definitely a lot better than anything i have ever had and it does not seem necessary to flash it in order to get all the nice apps running. I will be happy with the AT&T update if it ever appears. I have spent the past few weeks customizing the Captivate and will post my homescreen and a list of apps I am using.

How did you know its coming any day now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitesox311:
first of all, 2.2 is not coming soon....

second of all, you ARE rooted

third of all, doesn't matter if you "unroot" (although you dont really seem to be a candidate for rooting anyway)...because once you're rooted or once you change the existing software (which you did with the program you listed in the first post between the "i thinks"), you negate the ability to recieve over-the-air updates from at&t

not that ANY of this matters, because the second those firmwares hit at&t phones it will be here and available to flash

not to mention we already have 2.2 available unrooted (the leaked version (might be different))

if you want me to send you the one-click ODIN file to flash stock 2.2 let me know

2.2

Whitesox

Thanks for your offer! I would love 2.2. Someone on this board said he works for AT&T said the update was coming on the 19th....guess not ))

I need to ask a few questions about applying the update:

1. Does my home screen get reset?

2. Do I have to download all of my apps again?

3. If so, does the phone remember which apps I downloaded from Marketplace?

4. I assume that any backups i did would not apply to the new 2,2

4. Anything i should know as far as what is and is not included in the update?

thanks whitesox....I'll be keeping a eye on this thread.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Sorry Whitesox - I'm REALLY REALLY BORED at work today - hence all the forum spamming today :D

I need to ask a few questions about applying the update:

1. Does my home screen get reset?

Yes

2. Do I have to download all of my apps again?

Unless you had them backed up somehow (say using Titanium Backup) - then yes.

3. If so, does the phone remember which apps I downloaded from Marketplace?

Possibly - but if your using a Custom ROM? I've found that only those I have purchased show up under the Market and I had to hunt them all down again.

4. I assume that any backups i did would not apply to the new 2,2

Not necessarily true - for Apps/Data you should be fine restoring. But I wouldn't recommend restoring any type of System Data as it would conflict with the update.

5. Anything i should know as far as what is and is not included in the update?

As in? Froyo specs means you will have additional functionality - the biggest one is Flash for websites. That and you will be able to run more applications from the Market vs. your current Eclair 2.1 ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
backups

AJG

Thanks for the response. I have titanium backup, as well as SUPER MANAGER which also does backups. Also have ROm MANAGER but I am sure that will not apply....As for my installed apps & widgets I have a list of everything installed. Looking forward to 2.2 and FLASH 10 WHITESOX!

The official Froyo update has been coming "any day now" since September.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Just personal preference to run Titanium Backup - I know it works and I can use the free version to do everything I want or need.

Yea - I had forecasted we would see the Froyo OTA update from ATT with Source before Christmas - It does appear we won't see this update until sometime in 2011 - like um never?

At this point your stuck with either the OTA JH7 Update 2.1 Eclair - or you can get the Leaked Froyo (not recommended stock) or your plethora of Custom ROM's in the Dev forum.

I swear I think the Captivate has more custom roms then a room full of bunnies. I look at the other Galaxy S line and I see a few - but not as many to choose from here. This is the one major plus of owning a Captivate I guess :)

Hi

Sorry if this has been discussed, but I couldn't find anything.

I'm interested in buying an Optimus One and I would really like to know what GPS software can I install, because GoogleMaps is not an option where there's no 3G signal...

Is iGO available for Android?

I'm really new in Andoid stuff, just got rid of my good-for-nothing Nokia 5230 (Symbian really sucks, the only good thing in it was the OviMaps app).

hello 22VIN ,

on my optimus one, I have installed iGO My Way 8.4.2.13242 and Sygic Aura. both of them is working very well ;) no need 3G, just GPS enabled. the gps receiver itself is very fast , sensitive & accurate. I recommend it.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] cordezz:
Try Copilot or Navigon.
[Optimus One, P500, V Themes and Apps] 22VIN:
If iGO works this is the best solution for me, because iGO has a very complete map of Romania (this I know for sure, I don't know anything about the other software) and I am very familiar to the interface.

3G is useful for A-GPS, because you can get a position lock in a few seconds, but if you say the receiver is fast, then it's ok.

Thanks for the answers:P

I was wondering, can I still use those maps if I switch to FLIGHT MODE? Or for initial fix A-GPS is a must.

I ask this question because many entry level phones have very poor GPS antenna, which means getting a cold fix without A-GPS can take 15-20 minutes, if not more.
