Hi i'm Drie and i wanted to introduce myself and say i find most of the information here helpful and useful. I am very interested in rooting my phone and I must say that a lot of you have some great ideal but they are not working for me. I know there are some SUPER TECHS on this sight that may want to entertain a new user by giving her a step by step manual (rooting for dummies) on how to root an HTC EVO 4g.

Ive read thread and watch lots of videos and still my phone is not rooted.... HELP :eek:

Drie
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
Welcome to the site; it's a great place. :)

From what I have found is, it is easier to do things by reading directions; I never get things done in the videos.

Oh and a big problem for a lot of people; when downloading and putting the update or bootloader zipped folders onto the phone, only name them root or update or whatever, leave out the .zip part; that messed me up and I was clueless for an hour or so.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drielee731:
rooting

when i say that i tried to root the phone, that means i made an attempted at it, but since i know nothing about rooting a phone every word seems foreign to me. I need instuctions from the very beginning.

I have an Evo, rooted, with Mik-froyo Rom v4.5 beta 5
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegh0st:

I have to agree with quite a few of you here - I read threads here for about 2 to 3 weeks before ever signing up - finally I had to lol :D (got soo many questions) - also went to post in the development section and found out I couldn't post there - though I can't remember why I was going to post there first - maybe that was where one of the instruction threads I was reading was posted

I posted this in Riptides theme thread with no response. Im hoping to get help or advice....

I am a HUGE Riptide theme fan. I can't stand my EVO without it. I've donated to RIP to show my thanks and now I wonder if someone smarter than me can help out... or tell me if its possible. I am willing to paypal $ if necessary... I will even pay up front if needed.

I have found another mod that is AMAZING and seems to currently be incompatible with Riptides theme. Its either one or the other and I want both so bad. The developer of the lockscreen mod seems to mention that its possible but I get lost in the lingo.

This is what I want with Rip's theme

[Nook Color General] spdc88:
I followed the instructions in xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=938200 and everything worked great. I took out the SD card and I rebooted a few times and it was working perfect.

The problem came when I reinserted the SD card and it wouldn't read from it. So I tried to format it in the NC and realized that wasn't working either. So I shut down my NC, formatted the SD card on my PC and when I attempted to turn it back on.... it is as if there is no battery installed.

I can't get any sign of life from my NC and am getting frustrated. I can't even get it to be recognized in adb because it is completely dead to the world.

Help!
[Nook Color General] midnight230am:
don't worry. Just put another bootable image onto you SD card, and boot from you

SD card. It should work. NC is very hardy because the priority boot is from SD card.
[Nook Color General] spdc88:
Thanks for the quick reply.

I don't know why but I finally realized that I can only get it to boot from the SD by pressing the N button + power at the same time.Now I am following the instructions to return it to stock

Wish me luck
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
Or flash my boot repartition file found on my froyo on emmc thread. If you had read the thread, you would know that formatting the SD with your NC with froyo/emmc distroys your boot partition. Only way to boot again is to flash the boot file......

Please, read threads. Don't use stuff boldly without having a clue and then ask for help when questions have been answered several times... this is getting annoying...

Sorry, it is.

Sam
[Nook Color General] mechler@smunet.net:
Sam, please don't give us the "this is getting annoying" thing. Your directions may be "perfect" but I rarely see directions here or anywhere else that exactly match what I am looking at on my screen. If you've never had a problem trying these types of things you aren't trying hard enough :^). Circumstances vary for each of us.

My NC is dead and pressing the power + N don't work for me. Any other ideas?
[Nook Color General] samuelhalff:
Don't worry, been there, done that. I just take time to read threads before asking questions.. So far, I've only seen one "bricked" nook. And technically, it wasn't bricked, as you could still boot off a bootable SD..

Read the threads around in general and dev about bricked/not booting NC's. I'de be very suprized if you didn't find a way out..

Still. It is anoying. Every thread on Froyo/eMMC mentions specifically the problem with Android format and boot corruptions.... So if people did read, no threads like this one would even exist... Plus, there are tons of threads on "bricked" nooks..

PLEASE, take time to read. It's a win/win choice I can promise you..

And please don't tell me what I should or shouldn't "give you". Look around, though I sometimes get tired, I'm always around helping others, and always have been for a few months now..

Thank you.

No good deed goes unpunished

I have found that when I help people they always ask for more. Have a great day.

One of my friends used to give people an immediate answer to their problems and they never were happy. So he said, "This is a real tough problem, let me research it", and then gave them the answer two weeks later. They were much happier thinking that they really had a tough problem.

Go to settings/applications/manage application (choose all). Scroll to google services framework, press on it and select clear data/force stop. Then go to market and clear cache. Reboot, all should be well.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jimt007:
I got the Sprint Touch Pro 2 a few days ago and unlike what I've read in this forum the task manager is not in the System folder. Also there is no Quick Menu.

It resides with all programs but is limited. I can't change the behavior to close programs when I click the "X" the way I had my HTC Touch set and the way it is described in many threads in this forum.

Anybody know if Sprint or HTC changed this phone? Is there a way to get the Task Manger back the way it used to be?

I'd just like to click the "X" to shut a program and know it's actually shut down.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
It depends which version of WM you are using. If you are using the stock Sprint ROM, which will be WM6.1, then the X button settings are located here:

Start > Settings > System > Task Manager - Switch to the 'Button' tab; choose 'Enable the X button to end running programs'; select the 1st one 'End programs by tapping X.'

If you are using WM6.5 or higher, you may want to consider AMeBa (search).

I keep hoping that with Google's (somewhat) recent inclusion of the ability to make phone calls via Gmail, and that combined with having a Google Voice number...maybe /some/time in the near future they would get off their lazy butts and improve our Voice app (so that we can make calls too).

This would be great because many of the computer labs at school have perfect WiFi reception, but no cellular signal can seem to penetrate those terrible brick walls.

Little update:

I noticed it is possible for me to ping and use all services when using the gateway to access everything, in my case the access point/wifi router.

So it looks like this is some kind of routing/firewall issue but I can't find anything about default blocking or firewalling on android...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] SantanaNL:
Good news. I found out what is causing this on almost every build.

It has something to do with the stock wifi tethering. If you try and enable it in almost every rom it will fail, but now turn on your wifi again and everything works as it would normally do!

The build it does work on also has working stock wifi tethering, so that explains that...

For now it's good to have this workaround and I hop to have a proper fix in the future
