[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Flash the file attached in the bootloader. Apply update, reboot, and then reboot back into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3. The amon_ra recovery is inside it, no needc to rename or extract the file.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Yup, like teh roxx said, you can use Unrevoked, then change to Amon Ra. And yes, Amon Ra is better (in my opinion). You can change recoveries any time you want, you could try them both out and see which works better for you if you wanted to. If you do run Unrevoked, just be sure that you remove htc sync, that you install the hboot drivers, and that you have no programs on your pc running that can talk to your phone (htc sync, pda net, easytether, doubletwist etc etc) and you also want to disable your anti virus when you run it, as that can also interfere.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smurph82:
Ok just so I get this straight first. The easiest way to do this would be to first use Unrevoked v3.32 to get root. Then go into recovery and with that image in the root of the sd card and update the phone with it. Then reboot and I would have Amon Ra installed after that. Would the affect unrevoked from working by changing from clockwork to Amon Ra. After I ran unrevoked would I need to run the unrevoked forever as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
After using unrevoked, you boot into the bootloader, the white screen with the androids skating boarding to flash the file, not recovery, and then reboot. And no, changing recoveries after using unrevoked won't affect it, and yes, you would flash the forever zip in recovery after doing the previous steps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smurph82:
Last question I promise because it is getting late here and I am not going to do this right now maybe tomorrow, well later today. Does running Unrevoked give you a full root. I have read that a full root is where the nand is unlocked and that gives you the ability to run nandroid to back up your phone. Also To remove root if I ever needed to go stock again do I uninstall unrevoked or to I install the lastest RUU from Sprint, and if so where to find them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Unrevoked give you root, but flashing the unrevoked forever gives you the nand unlock. And to unroot, you flash the S-ON tool, then you flash the lastest RUU for you hboot, in this case, 3.70.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Unrevoked does give you full root, nand unlocked. Full root capabilities. Nandroid backups and restore galore. To unroot, you flash the unrevoked s on tool with recovery. Then run RUU. That's it. Nice and simple.

this thread is very helpful for the unrevoked method, and yes unrevoked gives you full root including nand
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smurph82:
k2buckley how did you get your details and specs in your post. I looked for somewhere to add them but I could not find them anywhere.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
Actually, Unrevoked unlocks NAND, too. Honestly, I don't know what the difference it between Unrevoked and Unrevoked Forever, but the regular Unrevoked turns "s" off, too. I've rooted two Evo's within the past month with the regular Unrevoked, and "s" was off and I flashed custom roms and all on both of the phones.

From the unrevoked website:

"unrevoked3 will permanently unlock NAND write protection by default on the following phones"

"unrevoked forever is a tool to set your Android phone's security level to S-OFF."

I've wondered what the difference is between one and the other for a good while now.

Go into the "user CP" and edit your signature.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well yes, it does give you nand unlock, but if you don't flash the forever zip, you won't be able to make the system changes, like changing the splash screen.

From the site: "unrevoked forever is a tool to set your Android phone's security level to S-OFF. The security level is a flag stored on the radio; when the flag is S-OFF, the bootloader (HBOOT) will no longer check the signatures of firmware images before flashing them. This allows custom firmware images to be uploaded, including unsigned boot, recovery, splash1, and hboot images (as well as official images that have been modified). When the system is S-OFF, the NAND flash memory protection is also reduced; this allows all partitions (including /system) to be written to while the operating system is booted."
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
Hmmm....so on the phones I used Unrevoked3 on, I will not be able to push/flash a splash screen onto it? I still don't quite understand the difference, but thanks for your input. I obviously still have A LOT to learn. lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smurph82:
I keep seeing where people are using something called the Toast method to root their phone. Is that where you do everything from the command line. I bet a lot of people don't even remember the command line haha. Is there really any difference between the two (Unrevoked and Toast). What about security. Does rooting with Unrevoked have any back doors or anything like that. I don't mean to offend anyone just asking the question, I think that all the work people put into things like this are great. I work in high security areas and this is always on my mind. If I install something like Lookout Mobile Security could that mess with the phone being rooted. You all are great.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Yea, it'll tell you no permissions, ect. And if you used unrevoked, to flash a splash is slightly different than the standard method, and I can tell you if you want to know. The unrevoked, goes to a low level to unlock those permissions.

Well i started using the toast method, but it didn't work for me, since when I got my Evo 2.2 JUST came out, and people were scrambling blah blah, I digress. And what do you mean by backdoor? If you root using unrevoked you get all the same permissions/benefits of rooting as those with the toast method. And using a program like lookout security wouldn't affect your phone at all.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
I used Toast's Part 1 & 2 method to root back in June mainly because it was the only thing available. It was not a noob friendly process, IMO, but it worked and my phone is still rooted to this day using his method. Also, it forced me to learn a few things that I wouldn't have had I had Unrevoked at my disposal.

However, I believe Toast's methods are outdated now as the current Evo software and hboots require different exploits to obtain root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
Thanks, man.....I always see you on here helping people out and you are an asset to the XDA community. However, I Unrevoked the phones for some people that wanted wireless tether and screen shots......they could care less for the splash screens. Plus, I'm sure I can Google it and figure it out if it comes down to it. Mainly, I was asking for the knowledge as to "why" more than "how", and I think I follow now.

Your help is much appreciated, though.

The MIUI camera is absolutely amazing, tested on Galaxy S Vibrant, and Captivate.

It works great!

And you don't have to replace your existing camera, just put this in system/app or flash it.

I suggest people extract the .zip and push the apk manually because this flash was made for vibrants and it may not work for all devices.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drachnem:
So currently I have a Droid, Droid 2, Droid X, and Droid Incredible... I have been flipping the coin as to if I go back to the iphone 4 for a bit or get the HTC Thunderbolt since I love the incredible and it by far is the smoothest device compared to the iphone.

Today I went to play with the TB and it was kinda laggy, I even rebooted it and closed up all the crap that was running. I know that with roms this will change, however what concerned me the most was...

The UI is HUGE. We have that large screen and the UI is just jumbo, like it was made big for people with poor eye sight.

What I want to know is if there are any DPI mods like I have on my X that makes everything smaller.

I am not going to buy this phone if with all that screen I have to deal with jumbo UI. I did look thru settings and didn't find anything to adjust this.

I need help fellow members! I can't make my decision of TB vs iPhone 4 without your help!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
Once we have root, the dpi will be the first thing I change. I'm used to 209. This phone is awesome, BTW.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drachnem:
Well basically I have until the 24th to decide. I keep getting stuck on how smooth the iphone always runs. However I am getting there on my incredible and this is faster than that.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
I think this is substantially better than the iPhone. You will be happy to own one of the best devices ever made instead of a device that is falling behind.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmcclure937:
I also cannot wait to change the DPI. Hopefully custom ROMs will automatically have this set to something more reasonable!

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajftl:
not laggy.. believe me i had almost all the phones lol the tb its a fast device...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drachnem:
might have been because it was a display phone. I have the incredible now with CM 7 on it and it is as smooth as i have seen a droid to date.

I know about the launcher pro thing, but that doesnt change the rest of the UI.

I like to have everything small, so I can use up all that awesome screen.

I just don't know if this is worth while to hop from the droid x/incredible to...

esp no 4g in my area.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HorsexD:
Yeah. Launcher pro is Faster than stock Launcher (IMO) and Lets you customize how many rows and columns you want. Ima just Use LP and Beautiful widgets like I always have. Im not to big of a fan of Sense, although im Curious to what the new Sense has to offer. Cant wait until My TBolt Arrives (ordered online)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drachnem:
I had the sense from the Z and it wasn't much better. It's better than moto blur, but I still think its crowding.

I need this DPI thing to happen or else I may be tempted to go back to iphone 4 :(

I'm guessing you're talking about this one:

http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/980115/SanDisk-microSDHC-8GB-Memory-Card/

It's a class 2, which is fine for file storage, but you won't want to try running any ROMs off of it.

I checked Newegg and they have a Sandisk Class 4 card for $15.49 w/free shipping.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...457&cm_re=8gb_micro_sd-_-20-171-457-_-Product

You can get a class 10 Patriot for under $25 shipped as well. That one would be fine for running a ROM.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjgdroid:
Hey I have a questoin, I dont know if anyone can find the awsner, but here it goes. The eris has a nice 5 mega pixel camera; if you take off the back of your eris case and you see next to the camera on the right side a rubber stopper. This rubber stopper I have taken off to find 2 small what look to be mounts for led lights. I dont know what they are. I was wondering if anyone knows what these two small cylindar looking things are behind the rubber stopper. My ultimate goal is to eventually take apart the eris, mount a small led light on the right side of the camera were the rubber stopper is. The point I want to make is that if i dont need to do any soldering, by adding a small wire to the power and a small switch that i plan to add on the side so i can esily push the button like the volume up or down and the light will turn on and off.

And if these two little cylindar things are led mounts then it would be alot less work. Please someone tell me what I am looking at, behind the rubber stopper on my eris

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
I'm pretty excited te see this work. I don't have any led just laying around but I'm gonna test my old Eris for voltage at those points your talking about. Some questions I have though. Are you trying to make a flash for the camera or just something decorative like a light mod? What type of led are you trying to use and what is the required voltage to light them?

[DINC]¦[2.15.00.11.19]¦[INCREDIKERNEL]
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
Ok I just tested those ports and there is not any voltage there. I did test a few other spots on the board and had good 4v readings on all of them. So a micro switch setup would for sure work.

[DINC]¦[2.15.00.11.19]¦[INCREDIKERNEL]
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
As long as whatever LED you use doesn't try to pull more amperage than the particular circuits you use can handle. Then those circuits would burn up and incapacitate the phone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
I sort of understand that. I'm a mech not an electrician though. So is there a way to measure the max effective amp draw on the board? As far as led goes I'm thinking about the bright flash type led that's found in most flash capable phones. I understand we wouldn't be able to scale brightness like on my DINC. But to atleast push a mini toggle and have it light up would be cool.

[DINC]¦[2.15.00.11.19]¦[INCREDIKERNEL]
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
No there isn't a way, at least not realistically. It would probably be safest, and possibly easiest to just wire the toggle switch and LED directly to the contacts that touch the battery instead of taking a chance hosing the phone by 1) trying to attach wires to circuitry in the middle of the phone and 2) possibly burning out the circuitry by drawing too much amperage.

DO NOT HOLD ME RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS BLOWING UP ANYONE'S PHONE!

But I can't think of a reason that would have any problem. Straight to the source!

Or you could just duct-tape a made-for-camera battery to the back of the phone with wires sticking out. :P
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjgdroid:
All this info These Are GREATE POSTS!!! I am working slowly won't see my mod done for a while, But With everything you guys have posted I am going to cut out a small 3x2 cm oval in back of eris case, then cut A small opening on right side directly across from volume up down.

1.

Each hole will have respectively, Back hole next to camera Just a led light source mod, Not worring about flash while camera takes shot, just a light mod that will always turn on

2.

A small push button on and off switch like you see on many routers, and other small electronics. I mean very small the size of the search icon or so.

With the button solderd to the battery, or another power producing source maybe even a speacial battery mod placed inside eris housing

3.Connect all led mounted next to camera in back, and power button so when I push small button on right site of phone led turns on.

I am doing this slowely so it looks professional. and you won't be able to tell the led or button were not made for the eris stock phone.

AGAIN THANKS FOR THE HELP, information and IDEAS!!!!!

Keep up the work GENTlEMEN

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
Hey mjgdroid, So I've been sitting here thinking and staring this little Eris down... Was trying to think to myself the best way to do this mod and have it look "stock". A few brain farts later and I have effectivly led my self to believe that the only realistic location for the leds to be mounted would be in the diagnostic port. I think two leds would fit there just fine. After staring at the Eris even more I was pondering where the switch would go. After being inside the Eris a couple of times before I remembered that on the inside of the Eris on the right there is the speaker and a very small cavity beside it. I think this would be the location for the mini push switch. This spot would be good because it woudnt be effected by the frame screws or the board. As far as wiring, I think the best bet would be either stripped headphone wire or ribbon wire soldered directly to the inside part of the battery terminals inside the phone case.*not the part you see when you remove the battery cover and battery.

I was also tinkering with the thought of a 3 or 5 led "strip" light mounted to the inside of the battery cover itself. Holes ported of course so the leds could be seen from the outside. Refer to the picture for an idea of what I was thinking:)

Sorry about my grammer and spelling. To tired to care enough to fix it:cool:
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Is that an Eris in your pocket or are you just landing a plane? (landing strip) :D

Actually, that's a great idea. Wonder how much room would be needed, if there's a pre-made strip of LEDs mounted to something thin enough to fit between the battery and the back of the case.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
LOL, your funny. But hey, I actually had this idea because a friend of mine had a few of these led "Strips" that he was wiring into his Scion for accent lighting. They were bright enough that at night they could actually light up his engine bay. The ones he had were red so the wern't extremely bright. Before he put them in he showed them to me. The neat thing about these led strips are that they are paper thin. Well maybe as thick as a credit card. The leds were probably no more thicker than the raised letters of a credit card. So I don't think thickness would be an issue. Excpecially once each tiny hole is ported for the leds. The thing that I also remember was when he showed them to me before he put them in they were powered by a demo power pack like you would see them attached to so you could try them before you buy them. That power pack was only two aa batteries. So to power these leds off the phone battery I don't think would be an issue. Now the next issue is to find out where to get them because he got his from a swap meet.:)

I've posted a picture of these things. Its not the exact ones he had but this will give you a good idea what they look like.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That's me. Funny Kevin!

Just beware, the LEDs have a voltage rating, and I don't feel like looking at the voltage of my battery right now. 9.6V sounds familiar. 12V LEDs would probably be more adviseable in that case. Check first.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildstang83:
Well the battery I have in my Eris right now is the stock battery out of my DINC(I upgraded the DINC to the 2150mAh bat) and its a 3.7vdc 1300mAh battery. I'm thinking that should work.

[A7 General] netstat_EVO:
Is it a Samsung specific app? If it is, I think you are not going to have any luck getting it to run on anything other than a similar Samsung device.

I was in a similar situation when I first got my A7. I wanted to use some of the stock apps from my HTC Evo on it, and it would fail every time. Turns out that HTC apps rely heavily on a separate framework that HTC also installs on their devices, without it most apps won't even install, and those that do just FC on launch.

I would suspect the same thing here.
