From what I've read on this forums, others have had replacements with stock 2.1 with 1.49 s-on hboot which means no root yet I'm stuck on leak v3 so I have the same problem.

Yeah I was just reading that. Mine has a trackball problem. I read a couple got 2.1 with 1.46 or 1.47 hboot but most got 1.49 hboot. So I'm hoping for the best. If not still stuck. Sol

got my replacement for the trackball issue about a week before the OTA. thank god!
My wife and I just got 2 replacement phones due to the trackball problem a week ago. Both were 1.5 and I rooted from 1.5 and my wife's after I loaded the true OTA 2.1. Don't worry you should be OK.

Thanks feel a little more confident, my last was insurance replacement that came new in box and had 2.1 with 1.49 hboot. Hopefully the Verizon ones from warranty are different. Sounds like they might be.

Yeah I just got my replacement yesterday with 2.1 and 1.49 HBoot. I was going to root mine up nasty!
Yeah, it seemed to be hit or miss on the replacement. Some people are getting 1.5, 2.1 with 1.46 or 1.47 hboot and the unlucky ones are getting the 1.49 hboot. Worth a try though. My first replacement had 1.5 and I rooted it. It got water damaged so I had to get an asurion replacement which came with 1.49 hboot and now has trackball problem so I hope I get lucky again. We'll see on Tuesday.

Well got the replacement and to my surprise no luck like most of us thought. No trackball issue now but have 2.1 with 1.49 hboot like the other one. Just thought I might get lucky. Hoping leak may get rooted or they are working on 2.2 for Eris and greenlight it. Thanks for your support guys.

Jay that's so funny. Why be a smart ass when someone asks a question even if its been asked or answered a million times. It's really uncalled for.
Evo 3D in full Affect
I'd say probably not, since the HTC root is all you need.

Hopefully...this way ua can hook u up with some friggen themes already lol .....but I personally haven't heard anything announce by them guys lately. Also I hear the HTC UNLOCK ie all that bad. Besides them keeping track of it of course. Yeah I know, I'm not helping.

I don't see what motivation they would have since HTC already provides an unlock method.

No. HtcDev ONLY. Ever. Or don't root it.
Those be the options set before you.
One more thing I would like to see some light shed on is .....if we use HTC's unlock method it basically voids your warrenty......but if your phone is lost or damaged will it affect a claim through asurion....our TEP...........
what do you guys think???

This is what I did to root 1.5 its still s-on but you can flash anything....

See i think it voids your warranty with HTC themselves but because you pay for the TEP your all good. I don't think HTC informs Sprint who is eligible and who isn't. But plenty of people here that used HTC's method has gotten a replaces thru asurion. I know that much

I just had my EVO 4G replaced under warranty for a charging issue. Clearly rooted, the sprint tech turned my phone on & said "what in the hell!?" I had a CM7 based, ICS themed ROM on there. Still got replaced. He said i would have to pay to have my phone repaired if it ever needed that because it was rooted.
Guys as far as i noe no root for hboot 1.50 .......wait for ICS update

You can flash any rom or kernel with HTC unlock

My concern with the HTC unlock method is that it is one more thing to fix later. It permanently shows the phone was rooted. So, if someone comes along and gets the root working again then what? Suppose next week they say, hey we got Unrevoked to work on the Evo 3d again but if you previously used the HTC method your screwed still.

New OS will most likely have a new HBoot which will relock any one who HTC unlocked in the first place... Crushing root and melting the phone... Causing the world to end by skynet and last but not least zombies................................
There will be a way to get around it... It takes time.... You obviously have forgotten this isn't anyone's job to unlock your phone properly . You bought it knowing it may have 1.5 or got it from insurance... It's the name of the game..... HURRY UP AND WAIT

If you guys read the latest method to unlock 1.5 it isn't all that bad, specially with the in OS application that was built. The warranty void is rubbish, it means nothing to anyone here, and yes you will have s on but everything you can do with s off, you can do with the unlock method.

Yeah when I did it after updating (1.5) accidentally it was not so bad. I mean I have to install with terminal on my computer but its not a bad way. Just 2 lines of typing to launch recovery. If there is a fix cool but if not I can live without it. Cheers.

My Amaze 4g is rooted and rom'd etc.
A couple days ago the screen died. Like, it did something kinda of weird (flashed some grayish type colors) and then turned off. The phone still works etc but the screen is dead.
So, I can get a replacement phone but it is rooted and sending it back is too risky.
Is there anyway that I can restore my phone without having to see the screen?
Or, has anyone heard of this happening etc?
Thanks
You'll have to boot into fastboot and relock the bootloader. It might be a bit difficult to do so without actually being able to see what the screen should be showing, but overall it's a two step process: relock bootloader, load and flash stock RUU
So can you walk me through it? Lol, since I can't see the screen? Like, can you just direct me on what buttons to push.
do you have it insured? Maybe you might lose it tonight?
What i suggest is watch a youtube video on how to relock it and hwo to flash stock RUU adn get the timing.

You might as well just send it back because even if u figure out a way to relock it, it will say "relocked" therefore either way they will kno u unlocked it. But that shouldnt matter because the screen going dead is most likely a hardware issue which if it is it should still be covered by the warranty whether u unlocked it or not

No it only says it "may" void ur warranty.. so as long as the problem wasnt caused by you changing the software, like flashing roms and soforth, then they should still honor the warranty. And to me it sounds like a hardware issue so u should be fine.

Are you sure it's not just the backlight that's out? If it is, you can just grab a really bright flashlight and shine it at an angle, and you might, possibly, be able to see your screen. It will be faint but it might be enough to help you relock it.
Just crack the screen, tmo will charge you 50 bucks extra if the screen is cracked. At least this is what they told me when I had to get a replacement for my wife's phone.

my cousin returned his Amaze 4G to a Wind MObile with Bulletproof 2.5.0 *he fked up his charging port* and they replaced the amaze with unlocked bootloader and runnign custom FW
I am trying to return my tbolt to stock so i can send it back into verizon. Everything was going great untill the last step. That is when this screen came up.
I cant get it to do anything now. It keeps coming back to this screen everytime i start it up. PLEASE HELP!!!!
Thanks guys!
I am not quite too sure on this but you have s-on which means your unrooted already so i think your good to go but you should wait for a 2nd opinion nonetheless

Hey guys, so here's the problem... I've had my 3vo since release and its always been in my otterbox defender with phone insurance through sprint. I've noticed over the past few times having my phone plugged into my aux cord to a radio or just having headphones plugged in that the left side would lose sound. Originally I thought it must've been my aux cord but after testing, the only common denominator is my phone, specifically the headphone port. Being rooted and running eternity rom, what are my options? Good sprint now and see what they can do, unroot and goto sprint, just call them?
Any advice is helpful. Thanks guys
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I'd run an RUU. Then go to sprint. Unless you don't have 1.50 bootloader. If you have pre 1.50 then install a stock rom
I'm on hboot 1.4. So do I ask for a new phone or what. Will I be able to root with a new phone?

Depends on if you are still under warranty or not. If your phone is less than a year old, then it's under warranty. Just flash a stock rom, take it to a corporate sprint store, and tell them the problem. They may be able to fix it, if not they will give you a refurb 3d.
Awesome, ill try that today. After I find a stock rom. Lol. And shouldn't all 3vos still be under warranty? They came out last june

Good point. I came from the Original Evo, I forgot the 3d came out in June.
M moms rezound broke. Well just the charging port so I cant hook up to PC to use fast boot and do that writesecureflag3 command. I don't want to send this thing back s-off.
Is there a way to brick it? With a ph98img.zip file?

Just send it the people who receive them don't give a ****. They just load the correct software on it and go to the next phone...I and many other people have done this a bazillion times. In fact I've never returned a phone that wasn't rooted AND running a custom rom.

In fact, some people have received devices that passed the "100 point inspection" that still had CWM or CyanogenMod still on them
I returned an incredible that still had cwm on it and a rezound that said relocked on it with no problem at all, I wouldn't doubt that they make that statement just to scare you into not doing it.
