Depends on the version of the OS you are using for MAC. I think the faq says snow leopard only.
[EVO 4G General] smarmytime:
Ok, I'm trying to follow the directions here, but when I open device manager, it's showing Android - Android Bootloader Interface, instead of Other devices - Android 1.0. Is that a problem? I'm assuming if it's not, I should still update the driver?

My evo is build# 3.70.651.1, and it's hardware version 3, if that makes any difference. This is a replacement for my first evo, and the sdcard is from the original evo. I'm sure that makes no difference, but thought I'd mention it anyways.

I hope someone can help brother out :)

I'm on Win 7 Installed driver but when I select "Charge Only" it does not show "Android Bootloader Interface" it only shows when I'm in recovery mode/HBOOT USB and when I run reflash_package.exe it goes thru its thing phone reboots and at the it shows this:

Communication with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again.
[EVO 4G General] JohnnyBeGood113:

Basically I never had USB debugging turned on after that it finished process without error and it said done.

Does anybody know if the above is an issue?

No Dice

Hey All, I followed this to a T, multiple times. Still can't achieve root. Anyone have any other ideas?

This EVO was a replacement for an older one (power button got jammed), and I'm desperately trying to get away from HTC Sense, I miss CM7.

I'm by no means a n00b, but this has me stumped.

Device details are as follows:

Hardware Version: 0004

Baseband Version: 2.15.00.11.19

Build Number: 3.70.651.1

Software Number: 3.70.651.1
[EVO 4G General] playya:
What have you tried and are you sure that you have loaded up the Hboot driver properly... If having issues then run an RUU or a factory reset and try again. Hey I have rooted phones for others over the web and this method is by far the easiest.... Give it one more shot
[EVO 4G General] pruster:
Hey Playya, I've tried both unrevoked3 and unrevoked forever, i tried one method where you had to open the task manager and wait for adb to pop up, and kill the task, (it never showed up) and i tried throwing it against a wall. :-)

I've done multiple factory wipes. Are you suggesting I flash an RUU over my current one instead?

I've seen a ton of documentation on the internet about people with my specific hardware and hboot version, not being able to root. Have you rooted devices with those 2 criteria before? 0004 and HBoot 2.10.0001

Thanks for your quick reply.

[EVO 4G General] jamyil:
root

does this do a full root for the evo 4G?
[EVO 4G General] RileyGrant:
So any word on if this works with newest hardware/software?
[EVO 4G General] jac6695:
I know this is old, but thought I would post my solution to the "firmware too new" issue. Reading Q & A on the unrevoked3 site, they suggested some market apps causing this issue. I removed the Sirius/XM app, and then unrevoked3 worked perfect. Not sure if it was that app, or maybe it just wanted me to remove something lol, but thought I would pass it on.
[EVO 4G General] thunter5000:
This worked great for me. I installed the hboot drivers from the unrevoked website, uninstalled htc sync, set phone to charge only as DEFAULT through usb-pc settings on phone so that process would not be offset on evo reboot, turned on usb debugging, ran unrevoked and pressed okay at the disclaimer, and all went well. I had a messed up looking screen after unrevoked said 'done' but simply restarted and it booted up fine. Off to crappy metro we go. Chicka-chicka-yeeahh!

[Shift General] nooor7772000:
dear friends .i tried to change my windows 7 to xp but that happend

i used usb_multiboot steps to do it and when i format my hdd and try to install it from the usb i get a lot of missed files to be copied to install xp

i tried to make others xp copies with more than 20 times it show me same(missed files which can not complete install) what can i do?????
[Shift General] ashasaur:
Okay so what did you do now? How exactly did you try to install XP. What version of XP did you use, and what error does it give you exactly.
[Shift General] nooor7772000:
thanks so much for reply

what i do now is crying beside my htc shift ca not do nmothing with message every time say "setup cannot copy the file" and escap alot of file then not complet install

i used 2 copies of xp

tablet and other service pack 3 following usb-multi boot software by format my 2g usb and copy files from my xp source and boot well from usb it show me text install and go on then get copying files to install but that message come over and over "setup cannot copy the file"

what shall i do?
[Shift General] ashasaur:
Alright so let me be sure that I have this right. You have tried to install XP from a 2GB USB drive, and it starts to install, then says that it cannot copy a file to the hard drive. Have you formatted your Shifts HDD using the Windows installer, and made sure to format it as NTFS? Also, are you using a legit copy of XP? Sometimes ones that you download from the net have things removed to make them have a smaller footprint once installed, but they also don't install correctly via USB. If you have a real retail XP copy, or have downloaded a copy of plain XP, I would redo your USB stick as it sounds like not all of the files where copied correctly to it. Let me know what happens.
[Shift General] nooor7772000:
first thanks so much for share and rely

second i formated it to ntsf after make 10g for c and the rest for d

second i downloaded the 2 copies from internet the tablet and the sp3

thanks so much again

i can not study and that bother me a lot cause i use my shift in my study thanks guys
[Shift General] ashasaur:
Thats what I thought. You need to format both your USB drive and your Shift's HDD to NTFS. You should be asked what you want to format the HDD as when installing XP onto your Shift from the USB drive. I would also reccomend getting a clean version of XP Service Pack 2 as it seems to be about the most stable version to install from a USB drive. Download/get XP STOCK SP2, no modifications just the stock image, format your USB drive and Shift HDD as NTFS, and try again. Let me know.
[Shift General] nooor7772000:
thanks man so much i will do your advice and tell you

but i can not get real guide to format my usb to ntsf from windows thanks
[Shift General] ashasaur:
Heres a sure fire way to format it as NTFS:

1-Open a command prompt.

2-Enter DISKPART

3-Enter LIST DISK

4-SELECT DISK (X)

CLEAN

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION 1

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS

Replace the (X) with the name of your thumbdrive under My Computer.

Wait for it to finish, then close that window and voila! Your USB drive is formatted as NTFS and ready for use.
[Shift General] nooor7772000:
sorry

i did it only show my 0 disk of my desktop hard eisk but never show me the usb
[Shift General] ashasaur:
Can you format it through My Computer?
[Shift General] nooor7772000:
thanks man so much i already change my usb stick to 4g ntsf one and it work now great

i am now install the xp sp2 retail

when i finish what shal i do for make other stuff worki like wifi 3g fingerprint and touch screen???/
[Shift General] nooor7772000:
i did it.........................thanks guys

how to enable 3g and wirless now

and change display??
[Shift General] ashasaur:
Just install the drivers from the HTC website and it should work.
[Shift General] nooor7772000:
thanks man i already done but problem with

intel graphic for xp

wireless

3g

control center
[Shift General] ashasaur:
Download the graphics drivers from Intel. You MUST install the Control Center and ECD drivers before the WiFi drivers. After you install the Control Center, go into it and turn on WiFi, Windows will then (hopefully) find a driver and install it. And for 3G I don't know as I don't use my SIM slot on my Shift, I tether my HD2 via WiFi for mobile internet.
[Shift General] nooor7772000:
thanks so much man you are so good kind person for that great help and care

everything is working now well but the vga and 3g....any way thanks so much

Anyone know of a way to get the Bing daily background as my Android phone's background?

(on an automated daily basis without user intervention)

There are a lot of wallpaper switching apps, but none of them link to Bing's daily image.

If there were an app that would set the wallpaper from a URL (http://mydomain.com/image.jpg) on a daily basis, then I could scrape the Bing image and host it for retrieval.

If I could even just find a wallpaper app that switches on a daily RSS feed, I could create my own feed to expose Bing's daily image. But alas, haven't found any apps that do so.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adamantbob:
You could automate that with tasker or locale. Set it to repeat every 24 hours, then have it get the file and save it, then set the wallpaper as that image.

Should be fairly straightforward.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] libranof1987:
I saw reports of the app being updated for Android with automatic wallpaper update each day.

I installed the app on my HTC One Mini, kept an app shortcut on the Main screen and set the Bing image as wallpaper. But it still won't update each day.

What settings do I change?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maverick0984:
So I wanted to do this and searched around the interwebs and didn't really find anything. Most things were either apps for reddit, or old methods that no longer worked.

I ended up doing it myself via Tasker. If someone is curious, I can post what I did here in a more specific way but a quick explanation is that I have a profile set up to kick off at 5:30AM which then has 1 task with 5 actions associated with it. The actions together, HTTP Get the XML from Bing, parse the changing link and append it onto www.bing.com. Then I use this to HTTP Get the image itself, save it to a directory on the phone with the date in the name (solely for archival purposes and not necessary) and then apply the wallpaper. It was pretty straight forward actually.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBrie:
I'd love to know how you did it in more detail please, with screenshots if possible; I'm a proper tasker noob.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maverick0984:
I don't really have the time to actually put a full walkthrough together at the moment, but I've attached the exported task, which is the bulk of the effort. With this, you can execute the task manually and it will work just fine. In order to schedule it, you have to create a time based profile which executes the task which is real easy. The way I did it, just because I thought I might want them later, was to save the images based on the date that they were live. It saves them to a folder on the root of the sdcard named Bing. If you don't want them archived, just delete %DATE in the final 2 steps in the task. Specifically in the final 2 screenshots.

Here are some screenshots of the profile which schedules the task that is the XML that is attached to this post:

Thank you for going to so much trouble. I'm constantly amazed at how much effort people go to to help others on XDA
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arman68:
I highly recommend the app Cool Daily Wallpaper from the Play Store.

It automatically downloads from Bing and change the wallpaper automatically daily. Plus the images are in high resolution (1920x1080), without the Bing watermark, and saved to a Bing/ folder on the sdcard. This makes it very easy to also use the downloaded images for a Dreamscene or screensaver.

Very low resource usage, since it is not a live wallpaper.

i just downloaded android SDK

idk what else to do, i searched ADB on the windows search thing, but i get 3 results, 1 is from something else, and another when i try to open says adbwinapi.dll is missing from your computer. try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

i can't find adb on the folder i downloaded, whats wrong?

can someone tell/link me to a step-by-step instruction?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewstein:
Sorry nobody got back to you sooner.

ADB is usually hidden in the android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder.

I'm not sure which file you extracted yours to, but I extracted mine to C:Android so my path in cmd looks like C:Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>

Once in there type adb and hit enter for a list of commands. Connect your phone and type adb devices to see if it can find it etc.

Good luck. You can really F stuff up with adb.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Docavelli:
Not sure where else there are tuts but I learned from the ADB for dummies tut in the G1 development section (when I had my G1).

I would link but I'm on my phone and can't figure out how/if it can can be done w/ the app. Just go to the informative links sticky. Theres lots of basic android info there. Some translates to vibrant some doesn't. But good reading nonetheless.

Try changing the channel.on your router to channel 11 and then setting a static ip address on your phone.

I am assuming you are using a standard home user router such as a linksys or netgear and that you are using a captivate, so I doubt you are having issues due.to encryption or using the wrong type.wireless.

However Navicomputer program has no comm port selector and it always defaults to internal GPS antenna. It seems that it has not been assigned a com port and bypasses completely the GPSid.

How can I select the extenal BlueTooth com port, to use with Navicomputer .

Other GPS programs (TomTom) allows me to select the BT com port and that works fine.

My HTC P3650 WM 6.1,Touch cruise (polaris), is equiped with internal GPS antenna and a external BT antenna on com6

Can anyone try and create another update.zip that will flash successfully on this ROM? If so then it opens up mega possibilities.

If this is truly signed by Motorola, maybe it's because Google isn't on good terms with the Chinese government, so Motorola created a backdoor way to get Google Apps on the phone.
