Is this after ota update to gb?

I am considering trying the update on my rooted evo, but don't know what problems I will run into.

Also with all the talk I have read about HTC starting to use encrypted boot loaders I don't know if I want to risk that being part of the new ota.

[EVO 4G General] SeeNev:
I'm sortof a n00b, though I'm been flashing roms for a while, but I've been having a problem when flashing 2.3 gingerbread roms. I've tried several and every time I start the rom up the status bar is gone. It happens with every gingerbread rom I've tried. I keep having to go back to my nandroid backup. I'm currently running Myn's warm RLS 5. Any ideas on why my status/notification bar is gone when I upgrade to gingerbread? I would appreciate any help.

UnrEVOked3 does not work for Gingerbread Update!

I have followed all the steps as to root my phone. I have an HTC EVO 4G (I believe it is a Supersonic) As of last month (4 MAY 2011), I had updated my EVO with a firmware update with the following specs:

Android version 2.3.3,

Baseband version 2.15.00.05.02,

Kernel Version 2.6.35.10-g4e39384 (htc-kernel@and18-2 #1)

Build number 4.22.651.2 CL60865

Software number 4.22.651.2

Now, unrEVOked3 did not root my phone because, I believe, my firmware is TO NEW for the program to do its bidding properly...is this true? :confused:

Maybe the authors of UnrEVOked3 did not get around to updating their program?

The version that I downloaded from the site was version 3.32.

Is there something else that I need to do or could try? :D

I am not a n00b when it comes to firmware updates and upgrades but since I cannot afford another EVO (preferably NOT bricking my phone) at the moment I would thought I would ask if Sprint CHANGED something to prevent UnrEVOked3 from working properly? :eek:

Just curious....

Cheers!

The unrEVOked guys have yet been able to root the new update (Gingerbread 2.3). I think I read where Sprint and HTC changed the boot loader making it real hard to root. Give those guys time, they do all of this for us for free. I'm waiting for the root myself...
[EVO 4G General] concretecork:
i also have gingerbread on my evo. I also woulkd like to root my phone. This site talks about people helping out the noobs, but i have seen this question asked all over this site and nobody seems to want to help us out. Thanks

[EVO 4G General] EVOMIKE025:
I have read that some have figured out how to downgrade back to 2.2 and follow through with rooting. I for one dont k.ow how to do that
[EVO 4G General] yeaaa:
correct me if im wrong. i think that's only if you were rooted on 2.2 and updated the 2.3 OTA. if you were never rooted and has 2.3, there's no solution yet.
[EVO 4G General] StoneCracker:
I actually have a reverse issue. I need to send my EVO in for repair but i can't get it back to stock. lol (going to stuck when I get the replacement and can't root/flash CM7 but the brilliant minds here at XDA and unrevoked will figure it out. I have faith.)

So, here is what I did:

I ran the S-ON and dropped the RUU on my SD, renamed it PC36img.zip but it never prompted me to flash it. Just went back to the bootloader.

The RUU I used was:

PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.40_release_140444-signed.zip

I rebooted and I still had CM7.1 RC1. Anyone have any pointers? (there is a chance that the zip I downloaded was either wrong is corrupt. so I'm going to pull a diff one down from the link on TuffPoo's Wiki (Can't post links yet... I feel like such a noob... :( ) and give it another shot tonight.

Thanks in advance!

Root

So team win just rooted 2 evo 3d. They should be releasing the solution soon. they dont want to release it right away b/c then the exploit will be revealed and they will find a way to close the hole. I dont think they got the bootloader to unlock but its a start. i hope that htc unlocks those bootloaders real soon if they ever get around to it. i miss my rooted evo 4g! Lets pray and kiss ass. Team win great job.
[EVO 4G General] StoneCracker:

[EVO 4G General] rvanderwerf:
So I'm rooted on 2.2 with my EVO, if I upgrade using the OTA update I assume I will lose my root right? How do I keep it? I originally used unrevoked on linux, however I didn't pick the 'permanent option' - should I go back and run unrevoked with that option, than my OTA update will keep my root?
[EVO 4G General] Spirit Wolfe:
Never had the chance for a rooted phone before. I wish I rooted it before I updated to the Gingerbread 2.3.3 update...

Is there a chance that IF I DID NOT update FROM 2.2.x that IF I chose a permanent root that I could have updated to Gingerbread without having to reroot!??? :'(
[EVO 4G General] Knosis14:
yes, I cannot wait for 2.3 to be rooted using the universal root method, I loved that. I am not experienced enough to try and downgrade to 2.2, I have no idea. But willing to test when a beta comes out :)
[EVO 4G General] yeaaa:
im not 100% sure about this. i think if you rooted your evo with unrevoked forever and you updated OTA, you will lose root. But you still can downgrade back to 2.2

Why go through the hassle though? since youre rooted on 2.2, and you want to try 2.3, just flash any rooted 2.3 rom, then flash the new radios and kernels separate if you want to. no need to OTA update or anything. there are stock rooted 2.3 OTA rom in the development section.
[EVO 4G General] monkeybone12:
You would lose root if you do the official OTA update, and having played with a rooted version of it, there is NO comparison to the other Roms, MIK, KINGS, MIUI, all are hands down awesome in comparison with the lame-0-official.
[EVO 4G General] redhatter:
My understanding is this...it all about NAND locked or unlocked (S-ON / S-OFF) and the bootloader

The OTA undate to Gingerbread updated the bootloader and the old bootloader was the entry point to exploit

If your NAND locked (S-ON) and took the the OTA update to Gingerbread .. then your stuck for now

If you had NAND unlocked (S-OFF) and took the the OTA update to Gingerbread you should still be NAND unlocked (S-OFF).. so you can downgrade back to 2.2 and then root
[EVO 4G General] LCL22:
i guess im SOL for now..

Hi!

Greetings all, first of all im new to this site and the XDA and phone customizing scene! I have had an EVO 4g for quite a while now and its a powerhouse of a phone i love it, ive never even had any complaints about the stock software up until this latest gingerbread release, i hate my phones performance now, it bugs out half the time, randomly resets itself, and its downright horrible..

so basically , this was my argument when contacting HTC , the response was a quick one but this is the response i got back:

"Dear XXXXXXXXX

Thank you for contacting HTC technical support about the issues you have you your device since the latest update. There is no way of removing the latest update from your device as doing so may make your device inoperable. I would first suggest trying a soft reset on your device by pulling the battery out for a minute then placing the battery back in then booting up the device. If a soft reset does not resolve the issue then you may want to do a factory reset on your device. Factory resetting your device will clear off your device and reset it back to factory settings. You can factory reset your device the following way.

1.	With the device turned off, press and hold the volume down button (located at the right panel of the device), and then press the power button.

2.	When the device’s display turns on, release the volume down button.

3.	Use the volume buttons to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press the power button. (All data will be deleted from the device.)

If you need any farther assistance with this issue please reply back to this email. You may also want to check out our support site at htc blah blahy blah

it could make my device innoperable? really? so yeah basically im going to drive to the sprint center and see if they can reflash it or whatever to the stock 2.1 it had when i bought it, ill update this post if they can do it, its worht a try...

Thanx to the Devs for all their hard work, i patiently await the way to root to 2.3, you guys rock!
[EVO 4G General] StoneCracker:
LCL22

First of all, I would back everything up and try the wipe. The reason I say this is because you'll have to do that if you mod your EVO anyway. Also, test out a different microSD card. When my SD card was failing my phone ran like crap. (And I upgraded from 8G to 16G so I'm not that bitter about it lol)

Currently there is not an easy way to gain root access to a stock gingerbread EVO. :( (that I have heard of at least.) Someone has claimed to have done it, but they have not posted the method yet from what I hear.

When they do find the method of rooting for the current update, there are 2 ROMs I would recommend.

Of course the first is Cyanogenmod. AOSP based. (Android Open Source Project) http://www.cyanogenmod.com/

The second (and one that surprised me) is Synergy. Sense 3.0 based. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106799.

Both run nice and fast and both are Gingerbread based.

From what I have seen it isn't easy to brick an android phone. As long as you don't blow away your boot loader, your good. (for the most part.)

KEEP IN MIND, NEVER BRING A ROOTED/MODDED PHONE BACK TO SPRINT. They will void your warranty and wont fix your phone. Always revert it back to stock before you bring it to them. lol

This all the advice I have for right now. PM me if you need anything. But most questions are best asked in the forums... after you have searched for the answer.

Just wanting to thank those who've already gone to the trouble of making sure "yes, indeed, you cannot root the EVO 4G with Gingerbread (if you haven't already)."

If anyone happens to be looking this up, the latest OTA update (at time of writing) software version is 4.24.651.1 - If you have this and you're not already rooted (still in the S-ON category,) sorry, you're screwed until these kind folks can fix it for you. (Myself included.)

Thank the gods for this community. You guys are awesome!

getting out the car to get gas. Instead of fixing the screen myself, I decided to just look into the 3d evo and decided to get another evo. Little did I know I was getting handed a huge stinking pile of currently non-rootable v2.3.3 :mad:

How's that for a scary story

Thanks for witnessing my first post. Cheers Mates.

P.S. if you see any threads that talk about being able to get a sprint tech to roll that update back, don't believe it. I tried two stores and now I just want brush up on my adb and programming languages so I never have to wait a month for a root again... viva la evolutionaryman.

I am running rubiX Focused 1.9 and I tried installing the new Tron theme.

I ended up not really liking it so I tried installing black juice blue back over it. However, the system apps were themed with Tron and now they are still Tron themed with black juice blue installed. I don't like the way this looks so id like to try to perform a nandroid restore.

The only problem is i've never done this before. Should I wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache partition before I restore? Do I have to mess with anything in the mounts and storage menu?

I really appreciate any advice/help from people who have experience with restoring nandroids!

Thanks!

I never wipe anything when restoring a backup and have never had a problem. I just go into recovery, restore, reboot.

Like "Zwade01" Said.... I Don't Really Wipe Everything Everytime Either....(Although It Wouldn't Hurt) You Can Basically Just Restore!!

You Don't Have To Mess With The Mount Menu... Just Go To Nandroid And Select Your Backup, And Confirm!!!

Unless You Have A Issue With Memory Or Your Phone Lagging.....

[G Tablet General] mjforte:
I have an issue with my G Tablet where if I press on the side of it where the micro SD slot is it will say SD card unexpectedly removed. It will then not let me use any games such as Angry Birds and some others as it will just force close and then show the standard Android icon for these apps. Only way to fix this is to reboot. This happen to anyone else or is this just an issue with mine?
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
Hey all,

I'm getting my G Tablet tomorrow and I'd just like to get some things clarified.

I know, the first thing some will say is USE SEARCH! Well, I did - and that's actually why I just want to get some things straight before I go down the path of modifying the device software. See, reading it all has managed to confuse me more than help me get a definitive instruction set for forging ahead.

I'm seeing the update "****s on CWM" according to a user...and then a 'fix' for that. Than I see that Gapps causes FCs for some, while it works for others. So...yeah, a little back and forth on what to do and who's instructions to follow.

Alright, so first thing's first....Should I flash the Clockwork Mod that I'm seeing available - 0.8? or is there something else I should consider or that I've missed? or maybe wait for a newer version? Should I even flash CWM if I get the newest (and I WILL be getting the newest) S/W version? Are there any downsides at all to flashing CWM on there in terms of messing with OTA updates, etc?

I read this:

"All the ROMS use a standard firmware updater that can be used by non-technical users. Here is an explanation on how it works:...."

Sooo, does that mean I can live without CWM? If an update doesn't work for some reason, will I be able to fix it or overwrite it somehow if I can't get into the tablet at all from the tablet itself? I read something about going into APX mode and putting things on through Windows, is this an infallible method?

Second of all, I read the FAQ thoroughly (I think and hope) but I'm still not 100% on what Gapps to DL or how to put a working Android Market on there especially with this new S/W update. I've seen how to 'fix' the Market to see missing apps, but not how to actually install it on the G Tablet. I may have missed that post somewhere on here.

I'm also unclear if I should get Gapps or not at all, as I've read that some have FCs on there while others do not - so what's the general consensus in light of this update that was just released as of Dec. 21, 2010?

Ultimately, here is what I'd like from my GTab:

I'd like to run the new official Tapn'Tap released recently first and foremost.

I'd like to have the official/unofficial (w/e) Google Market.

I'd like to run Google Apps (Gtalk, Gmail, etc.).

IF I don't like Tapn'Tap, and this is a worse case scenario situation, as in if I HATE TnT - I'd like to have the option to slap something else on there and I'd like to make sure I don't brick my Tablet. Whether that means storing an original official TnT ROM or whatever.

Point me in the right direction please, especially considering things may have changed as of the new S/W update.

Thanks much and sorry for all the questions. I assure you I used search and I attempted to put it together on my own. It's been a long time since I've modded (G1 was the last time) and I don't do it often. Also, apologies if I posted this in the wrong section....I considered posting it in Dev. section but this one seemed better suited.

Thanks again, XDA rocks.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I don't know how much direction pointing I can do but here goes..

Clockwork mod in my opinion is a necessity. Version 0.8 is the best one for most people because of how it deals with the memory locations. Yes, you can do things without it. The update process is as simple as putting an update.zip file, and a recovery folder with a command file in it on an sdcard and holding the vol + button while hitting power. It is easy. Clockwork has a lot of little features though that make life easier. You can make a complete system backup with it. You can install updates, and new firmware with it. You can completely lock up your tablet and using clockwork and your backup be back in business in about 3-4 minutes. You can load new roms and if you hate them you can go back to your old working stuff in minutes. Yes, there are ways to make one of these tablets work again when they get stuck. I don't think anyone has actually bricked one. Some may think they have, but I doubt it.

Unless you are dead set on wanting the stock TnT interface the easiest way to get what you want is to load one of the roms. Yes, there are ways to get most of it without loading a new rom. Most everyone that has gone the I have to stay stock but want all the mods has eventually just loaded a rom. TnT3.0 is based on the latest stock stuff. It has the market, flash, etc. already in it. VegaN is what I use mostly but they are both stable and fast.

Before you flash something brand new that just came out I would read about it and see what others have to say about issues. It usually only takes about 30 minutes until you can tell if it is going to be good or not.

All of the roms for this tablet have there own little quirks. The stock has gotten better with each update but it still is not as good as the ones I named.

Finally.. This tablet is very easy to play with. It is pretty much unbrickable. Anything you can possibly break one of us has probably already broken before and fixed. There are some people that seem to have problems doing every little thing. Most don't. So I wouldn't let any of it scare you off because none of it is that hard.

With a little bit of searching almost everything you may want it to do can be done. I really love mine, and when I got it almost 2 months ago I hated it...
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:

"Sigh" of relief. Then I'm not too worried. As I said I've dabbled in modifying my G1 and it is mostly cake. But I've just been seeing conflicting posts on whether cwm works with the newest official tnt release or not so I wasn't sure what to do.

Thanks for your advice. And when I said pointers, I meant like this as well as pointing me to any posts I may have missed on how to do whatever. Though I THINK I found most of them.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
The new release overwrites clockwork. But it is not hard to put back. Always a good idea to copy the clockwork backups folder to your pc, or somewhere they won't be lost. The custom roms typically leave the recovery image alone and can be installed with or without clockwork by either extracting the zip contents for stock recovery, or installing it as is in clockwork.
