quirky little program, not sure if it was the fourth time that was a charm or this...

I think the program doesn't allow enough time for reboot, so if you click "file" (while it says rebooting) until your phone actually reboots this may work. meaning pause the program by clicking file unit the phone reboots
[EVO 4G General] Dylsav:
This "pause the program by hitting file until it reboots" trick worked like a champ for me, hboot 2.10 and 3.70.

Thanks,
[EVO 4G General] :

[EVO 4G General] Krayvon:
help!

any idea why the link is not working?

new to rooting :)
[EVO 4G General] mrrogers1:
Probably because it was never supposed to be publicly posted here... ;)
[EVO 4G General] Krayvon:
ouch

so what do i have to do to get my 3.70 rooted? :(
[EVO 4G General] mrrogers1:
You can either WAIT patiently for the unrEVOked folks to get the bugs ironed out and release to the public (I'd advise this) or you could join the #unrevoked IRC OR you can go here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881747 and follow the instructions and links to the alternative method(s) of rooting the new HBOOT versions.
[EVO 4G General] Krayvon:
will do

i tried reading the alternative methods but anything that has to do with commands and forcing zips to drives is beyond my technical knowledge and I just don't want to risk bricking :)
[EVO 4G General] metalfan78:
This worked like a charm...took three times though but I'm finally rooted...yessss!!
[EVO 4G General] bry21317:
Thank YOU! My phone died, and I got a new EVO with the new 3.7 and new HBOOT 2.10. It worked GREAT, only way I could figure out to get it unlocked to load Fresh 3.5.0.1 back on it.

Thank you, it worked awesome!
[EVO 4G General] Phillysphinest1:
Damn, misssed the IRC chat. Oh well. I'm rooted already. Guess i just gotta wait for the official release to root my frineds phones.
[EVO 4G General] ovrrdrive:
The link still works but you have to change the rc2 to rc3 to get the newer version.
[EVO 4G General] Ryanhabs:
Big thank you to the unrEVOked team! received my evo with 3.70 pre-installed and could not do anything for root as I am an android newbie and the savior method had too many steps that I would probably mess up. Ran the beta for windows and under the hood shows s-off and device rooted. super-user permissions is also now selectable. Keep up the excellent work guys! :)
[EVO 4G General] JayStation3:
Ok, I was in the IRC last night and helped quite a few ppl... the main thing I remeber when using the BETA...

1. make sure all traces of HTC Sync is uninstalled. (Drivers and Installer)

Go to Control panel>Add/Remove Programs

2. I did a reboot after I uninstalled, then I ran CrapCleaner

3. Install the HBOOT Drivers found on this page ~~> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787304

I helped alot of ppl get rooted using these steps last night...

...Now my problem is...

I get all the way to the 2nd Reboot (after it uninstalls unrevoked3 services) then it says:

"Validation Eroor: Back Up CID is Missing"

Any one have any Idea how I should go about fixing this??

Also - I do have S-OFF in my hBoot, but I DO NOT have the Super User Icon...
[EVO 4G General] chaotik:
okay so it worked on my second attempt at rooting it! the first attempt didn't work but i turned off lookout then retried it, and not a single problem!!
[EVO 4G General] JayStation3:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Any one else getting this issue??
[EVO 4G General] martonikaj:
Is there a OSX version available? And any word when this will be out of beta?

Just checked out the unrEVOked twitter feed. Looks like they're pretty close to releasing a full, non-beta version.
[EVO 4G General] andrewkariana:
There's no OSX version available as of yet but I'm sure it will be included with the official update.

As for the official release date, it's bound to be any day now. They had a lot of success with the Beta and according to the Unrevoked Twitter the official release is very close. I'm assuming that things will be delayed with the holiday but I assume it should be here some time early next week.
[EVO 4G General] AlexFG:
I used this beta version on two brand new white EVOs running 3.70, boot 2.10, HW 004; the first one was rooted on the first try with no problems at all, I had to try twice for the second one but it rooted it with no problems either.

However I'm having problems with CW 3.0, whenever I try to install a .zip file it keeps telling me "installation aborted". I tried playing around with the settings for a little bit but no luck yet. Have any of you guys had any problems with CW? In the mean time I'm gonna try to install a different recovery. I'll report back.
[EVO 4G General] :
I rooted mine lastnight with the beta..and it worked i have hboot2.10 with 3.70 hardware-004...now I went to XDA site to download abunch of my favorite ROMS..and out of like 8 roms only 2 will install on my phone..all the other say INSTALLATION ABORTED..so I dont know if its the phone or the hardware or CW 3.0...but it sucks I cant use all the roms...OHYEAH CYANOGEN MOD WORKS ALSO they just updated it yesterday to work with the new hardware...really would like to know why abunch arent workin...grrrrr I only found 3 roms that will work Freshs new rom CALUK 2 new rom and Cyanogen 6.1.2
[EVO 4G General] luin4g:
I successfully rooted my 2.10 hboot!

The first time unrevoked could not shut off nand. Before I tried it the second time I shut off wifi. Second time worked like a charm! I was about to do the long way to root my phone, then I saw the new unrevoked was up thanks to facebook!! haha I have the HTC EVO4g updates page as one of my "likes". :)

Heres the link that I was directed to.... http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...st-evo-4gs-and-incredibles-with-slcd-screens/

Jan 21st Evo is rooted

Just received new evo 4G (jan 21, 2011). 004 hardware, Android 2.2 and software 3.70.651.1

Downloaded unrevoked 3.3.1 and Hboot 2.1.

USB connected. Had issue with Revoked 3.3.1 saying “Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?”

Windows 7 (32bit) kept switching USB driver to "Android ADB" resulting in the error message (tried 3 times).

After right click "Update driver" and selecting default as "Android Bootloader Interface" and confirming on popup that is fact is what I want; then restart Unrevoked 3.3.1 it ran all the way through in about 3 minutes.

Evo is ROOTED!

Thank you xda

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp555soul:
I have used z4root and got root access. I wanted to know if I need to keep z4root installed or if I can remove it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewtang:
Once you gain root I'm sure you can delete it. And for future reference you may want to post questions in the general section to avoid getting flamed. Happy flashing :-D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jp555soul:
Thanks I hope to hear some more responses, as I want to be 100% sure.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawsoju:
Yes you can delete it once you are rooted. I've used Z4root several times now and have removed the app every time.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vegastouch:
You can delete it if you want but it isnt in the Market anymore. Google told those guys (also Ryans OCLF dont have the root part in it any longer) take them down.

But you can get the .apk HERE or HERE
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sarge363:
I also found the update.zip root on the cyanogenmod wiki web site under vibrant. So if u ever need to reroot and can't find anything u can use that method.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dasunsrule32:
That will only work with the 2e and modified 3e recovery, but not the real 3e. You will need the Super One Click root application for that.
[Legend Android Development] Snowtoad23:
This might be an obvious question but I've looked around and haven't found much info..

I've rooted my Legend and have Blay0's B 0.2 Rom.

If I want to flash something I have to plug in and go to recovery and run recover-windows.bat from Legend rooting tools to get to Clockwork. Is it possible to 'install' Clockwork permanently so I don't need to plug in every time to get it?

Also because of Legend's extra security, S-ON etc, I'm not sure how I go about doing a NANDROID backup..

Can anyone provide some info? Cheers
[Legend Android Development] chansthename:
Firstly this should be in general. Now you have 2 options, either get fake-flash (search it) or you can now get S-OFF by using Alpharev 1.8 (also search it)

There are no problems with using nandroid at all.
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Fakeflash is safer. See my sig
[Legend Android Development] MaBlo:
I don't understand. I haven't installed any of these, I have only flashed ClockworkMod Recovery from Rom Manager. But I can still flash by going into recovery by holding back button and power(when the phone is off), choose recovery and then hold volume up/power at the red triangle.
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
That's fakeflash. :D
[Legend Android Development] MaBlo:
Ahh lol thanks:rolleyes:
[Legend Android Development] Snowtoad23:
So if I just use ROM manager to install it, it 'fake-flashes' it?
[Legend Android Development] ritchie46:
See Grammarfreaks's sig;)
[Legend Android Development] TheGrammarFreak:
Rom manager downloads the update.zip into your sd card. The reason I want you to read that post is that you need to understand what's going on. The fakeflash bit refers to what that update.zip does.

[HD2 General] malikadnanm:
hi.. i've had my hd2 for a while, everythings worked fine.. today it stopped working. i run android and the screen started freezing on wakeup from standby. i tried a different build and when i press and hold power to turn off the phone completely or reboot, the screen freezes and i can't click turn off. the same thing happens in windows mobile (i've tried several different roms, even the stock one). everything works fine, but when i hold power to turn off the device, the menu pops up but i cant click anything and everything freezes so i have to pull the battery. any suggestions as to what the problem is? is it a hardware problem? thank you..

edit: actually, i dont even have to press anything. the phone works perfectly fine until it goes into standby. i cant get it out of standby, it just freezes at the lockscreen. is it a hardware problem?
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
This was a common error for me in the past. I solved it by:

HSPL3 (2.08)

Task29

Flashed latest radio (_14)

Flashed new, titanium winmo ROM

Backed up then reformatted my microSD card

Installed a fresh desire hd-based Android from mdeejay

Turned off "Live Wallpaper"

Installed "Advanced Task Killer" (by ReChild in the Market)

Set ATK to kill all but white-listed apps when the screen turned off

Installed "Overclock Widget" (by Billy Cui in the Market)

Set my overclock to 1200, screen off clock to minimum

Also, make sure that your microSD card isn't falling down and going into "read-only" mode. This happened to me and I had to replace the card :(

Hope this helps!
[HD2 General] charms81:
I had exact same issue... it is a hardware issue with the button chasis/ digitizer or motherboard. Call up HTC directly and most likely phone should still me under warranty.
[HD2 General] aptness leaderships:
This happened to my previous hd2, but not before i tried Android. never tried it on this one, hasn't happened.
[HD2 General] TheATHEiST:
Absolutely nothing to do with android, You just happen to be using it at the time.

You have/had defective hardware its as simple as that.
[HD2 General] someeh:
It's the digitalizer my good man, I just had my phone replaced because of it. I had the same symptoms you describe when the phone comes out of standby the touchscreen is paperweight.
[HD2 General] Venture 280z:
I've been running Android for a few months now with no problems, a few weeks ago my touch screen locked up and I couldn't unlock the phone for a couple of hours. later that day everything worked great, untill today. The screen locked up again, so I pulled the battery, but now when it asks if I want to boot into Android, i can't push yes. I've tried more than a few times, hoping to get lucky. A previous post says it's a hardware issue. Do i need to revert back to windows to get it fixed? Can I revert without the use of the touchscreen?
[HD2 General] nips_uk:
I had the same problem. I would use the phone, then keylock it and put it away. later take it out, press the red button and the screen would turn on, but couldnt slide the unlock bar. Had to pull the battery out and restart it. It would always work fine until i press the red button to turn the screen off, then the same thing.

I took it to the shop i bought it from here in China and they basically told me to F**k off! I ended up going to Taiwan and getting the motherboard, screen and buttons replaced.

Even now its not quite right as when i press the red button to turn the screen off, its as if i pressed it twice. The screen turns off then quickly on again. Other times i press the red button and its as if i never pressed it. Phone doesnt crash, everything is working, just as if i never pressed the red button. Its definatly the phone as i have tried 4 different windows and 2 different Android versions.
[HD2 General] malikadnanm:
Hi. So yeah I figured it was a hardware problem. It wouldn't freeze if I turned it on from standby using any key besides the red end call button. But if I turned it on using the end call button the screen would turn on but it would freeze. I called up T-Mobile and got a replacement. HTC offered a replacement too but they were gonna take 2 weeks so I went with T-Mobile. Hopefully this helps anyone else who has this problem. HTC will replace it. Thanks for everyone's help
[HD2 General] wickdc:
Same issue here, called up tmobile. Will be receiving a new or "like new" unit next week.
[HD2 General] flowinglight:
Dear, I had the same issue today, but finally I found some people said it is becacue of the electrostatic problem, the problem cuased by the PC/laptop Power Cable is not connected to the earth.

The solution is just opening a cigerate ligher or even touching the water piple can solve this.

I did solve it.
[HD2 General] hd2life:
This is exactly what is happening to me now it is rly driving me mad, how does a cigarette lighter help this?

edit: First i have tried installing a new build and that didn't work, after that i did task29 and fresh install at first it was the same. The strange thing was sometimes when i turn the screen on with back button it would start working, as if it didn't want to work any other button. This is where i lost any hope i just started randomly putting metal coins on the screen, touching pipes radiators and at the end somehow it started working. I was like wtf this is beyond strange, how can someone make this infernal device.
[HD2 General] malikadnanm:
What about using a wall charger? Still no ground? I used both computer and wall charger but the problem remained. If my new unit messes up ill try the car lighter
[HD2 General] PnoY:
fix?

did anyone know the cause for all of this? i had my hd2 replaced yesterday.
[HD2 General] krups:
Same issue here... unfortunately that's a hardware issue. I've sent mine to HTC service center, awaiting to get it back!!!
[HD2 General] spoon_me:
so do i have to install windows 6.5 before i send it in?if so how do i do this?because i have installed a nand android.thanks
[HD2 General] krups:
Yes I did that ;) I was running on Energy ROM as primary OS and android from SD card, so before sending it to service center I downloaded the latest ROM from HTC site and flashed it on my device. Although it stuckked at first time configuration wizard :D
[HD2 General] PnoY:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893948 = step number 5
[HD2 General] spoon_me:
hey so i followed the step 5 and when i held down the volume button this is what i got

is this what the stock one looks like?
[HD2 General] PnoY:
Yup! when it has hspl it should look like 2.08.HSPL and now you have 2.10.0000. i think you should be ok. i returned mine like that too and installed stock winmo 6.5
[HD2 General] spoon_me:
nice!!wish me luck!lol but do i call htc?or tmobile?
[HD2 General] PnoY:
t-mobile.
[HD2 General] geronemo:
Call tmobile if you bought it from tmobile USA and have warranty,

They will send you a new one within 5 working days with instructions how to return yours.

Make sure to keep your SIM, SD card etc.

Also make sure you uninstall HSPL,

return the phone to SPL, Stock ROM, RADIO and you will be fine.

they will charge you $9 for shipping the new phone which will have a return label which has free shipping.
[HD2 General] xkrazykidx:
Hey Im having the same issues but I got the phone from a friend. Im using Tmobile as my Carrier and I definitely don't have a warranty....do you know how much they would charge?
[HD2 General] geronemo:
Well i don't know how this will work exactly but the phone itself should be under warranty because if i am right if was released by tmobile in US in March, which means that it has been less than 1 yr. since it has been out and warranty runs 1 yr.

If your friend is with tmobile you can ask him to call and say that he bought the phone in whatever month and it should be under warranty.

So the phone as long as it has the original SPL, ROM, Radio should be in warranty but i don't know who should call tmobile you or your friend. If you have a data plan and on tmobile website when you log on if it shows your phone as HD2 than you might have a chance of claiming the warranty itself.

When i called i told them it was in warranty and they looked up in their records and told me it was, no proof of purchase is required, they should have that in their system. Also you should get the $5 a month warranty when you get the new phone, that is what i am doing because these HD2s are really buggy and you only get that $5 warranty for 14 days from when you get the new phone.

i've had 3 Hd2s give me some kind of trouble and i will am getting a fourth before the weekend :(

I am not buying HTC for at least the next 2-3yrs.
[HD2 General] PnoY:
Yo, did your customer rep tell you that if they have your hd2 changed more than 3 times that they will exchange it to a different phone??
[HD2 General] geronemo:
You're kidding me right .........i didn't know that...!!

Here's my story:

The 1st one had a few dead pixel within 3 days to i returned it because they were sold out everywhere, this is way back in March last yr. when the phone came out and i returned it within 14 day buyers remorse.

Then i signed a contract last June, HD2 lasted 7 months, then digitizer problem, last week's replacement that i got can't playback videos, it get's jammed after 4-5 min, reset all on it's own, hard reseting doesn't help, i called HTC and they said it's a hardware problem so today i asked tmobile for another replacement.

So this will be 4th HD2 but my 3rd on this contract. Now if this HD2 fails i can actually get like a galaxy S or Galaxy-2??

Although i hope it doesn't fail but if it does i am going for Galaxy2 in summer :)
[HD2 General] xkrazykidx:
This is odd, somehow my screen works again....it freezes if I try and hold the power button to shut down the phone but other then that it works fine...is this a Digitizer or something esle?
[HD2 General] geronemo:
Same with everyone, when you keep power button pressed to get shutdown screen it freezes, this happened with me in android and winmo both.

and it took multiple attempts to unlock from locked screen.

Onces it would get unlocked it would work perfectly.

HD2's are notorious for digitizer problems in a long list ;)
[HD2 General] PnoY:
You can always call them bro.. thats what they told me but i am not sure if you can pick what phone you want though..
[HD2 General] geronemo:
Yup you are right, that would be wishful thinking :)

I hope mine doesn't get messed up anymore, if it does than i will try asking them for a different phone all together.
[HD2 General] isoDUB:
just got the phone this weekend and it has the same problem. but i did find a "solution". get an android rom that allows toggles in the notification bar or find an app like extended controls. i can reboot/put on sleep/power off all from the home screen/notification bar, and now i got an almost fully functional HD2 for $50! ;) but i'm scared to put into magldr since i need the power button, so no wp7 untill i get this fixed :(
[HD2 General] xkrazykidx:
My power button actually works again it just locks up when I hold the button to shut down or restart. But all i do is press the power button again and it goes back to the lockscreen and the touch screen still works so i guess Ill just use your route for now but I can still get into Magldr I just cant power down my phone unless I use your method.
[HD2 General] isoDUB:
cool glad i could help. sadly my touch screen just died today... :( don't mean to hijack your topic, but anyone know how much it would cost to fix the screen? and can i drop it off at tmobile and pick it up when it's done?
[HD2 General] geronemo:
I dont know if tmobile can get it fixed, they will probably send it to HTC.

You guys wanna know something funny:

the 1st CSR asked me if i had "the black hd2" i mean seriously, is there a white hd2 floating around as well, was he thinking that we are talking about the iphone.

Then the technical support idiot was tell me that pulling the batt. out is a hard reset, i actually died on the inside when i heard that.

So you may want to call HTC as well just to get a quote, i read somewhere that HTC tell you the cost before fixing it after looking at the phone.

But if your phone is in warranty then just get a free refurbished from tmobile for free after paying $9 shipping, which obviously doesn't make it free :D
[HD2 General] isoDUB:
how can i check my warranty? how much would it cost approximately? like i fool i messed with the phone...and now a majority of it is white/colored lines or something...i think i just screwed myself over.
[HD2 General] geronemo:
Are you using it with tmobile? did you buy it from them?

if yes that you have warranty as this phone was released in March last yr. and warranty runs 1 yr.

Let us know your carrier and where did you get the phone to be more specific maybe than we can help you.
