Well, the process that FlashBack21 goes through before it unroots insures that it can be re-rooted extremely easily - with any of the existing methods.
If you knew that a buyer was going to prefer a certain Rooted ROM - let's say for instance the ROM that you are already using - you could just perform a "Wipe data/factory reset" in Amon_RA, followed by a SD card wipe. That would "reset your rooted ROM". Or you could follow up FlashBack21 with a re-rooting by OneClick or Dummies - that leaves the main OS software on the phone untouched, but re-installs the Amon_RA custom recovery. Then the buyer can put whatever they want on the phone.
The only thing that will not do is de-activate your phone. But that is sort of irrelevant anyway, because if the buyer turned it on and dialed *228, it would just reactivate to your account anyway - you need to call Verizon when you hand over the phone and let them know you you don't want the phone associated with your account any longer.
If you are meeting the buyer, the logical place to make the transaction is right in the Verizon store - you can get the phone disassociated from your account, and the buyer can get it set up on his/her account right there. (If the buyer is smart, they will also first ask the VZW rep to check your ESN to make sure it is clean). That, and it's a safe place to conduct the transaction.

daniel,
It occurs to me that if a VZW rep is going to transfer the phone to a different account right there in the store, they will probably perform a factory reset on the handset right there on the spot to "unprogram" (deactivate) the phone, because that's the easiest way for them to get it ready for the next account. That won't work correctly with anything but the stock recovery on the phone.
Just use Flashback21 - rooting the phone is easy these days; let the new buyer do it.

im just selling it to anyone on craigslist or anyone that wants to buy it even ppl on here that want a phone to test stuff. im gonna switch to blackberry i have so the phone wont be activated when i sell it.

Hello,
As the Title says im going to attempt to root my Evo 3d this weekend. Well, I have never rooted anything and I have to admit im nervous, excited and in some places very confused while understanding other stuff. Ive tried to read, read read and read some more for the last couple weeks. BUT like I said some things I still kinda lost on. Any of you experienced folks with rooting have any great tips or suggestions? What are all the basics as far as apps and such are a must have? What are preferred? Eventually Id love to get into learning more about Android and be part of the dev world in some way. I am computer literate have a business that does computers and IT now. Just never done any of this with Phones. Ive searched all over XDA and some other sites for as much info.. But maybe im just nervous and unsure as I would hate to brick my Phone but... well you know the desire to do this and learn is really big. My last Android device a HTC hero I left stock. Wish now I would have rooted it. But either way here i am now.
Again Thank you for any help and guidance. Sorry about being so new to this.
Im eager to learn.

We got a root virgin. It's not as hard as people make it. You could temp root, install titanium backup, and backup all of your user apps but that isnt necessary. Just root your phone using revolutionary(threads and guides in the development section). Then you can install a recovery and flash a rom and get down to business. The easiest guide is right here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192525
I do have Titanium Back up Pro, As well as My back up pro...
I have read the guides on this procedure as well as the Noob beginner stuff about rooting.
Im getting ready to do Temp root then use one of the back up programs (probably Titanium Pro) and do a back up. I assume you just back it up to your SD card and are able to reload from there.
It seems like rooting has some in general things in common but also each device has their own little ways of things.
And Yes... I am a Virgin Root. Lol

Yes each device does have their own little differences, like while i was rooting my nexus s, i got the easy way out. Someone had made a 1 click root for me so I didn't have to do anything.
But yes, do make sure you backup everything using Titanium Backup Pro (noone told me this while i was rooting and I had to install 150+ apps all over again ).
For me, this thread by forum member 'WillJitsu' was most helpful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192868
He made youtube walk through videos that were very clear. It's pretty easy but if you are nervous, just watch them a few times and I'm sure you'll get a good idea of the process.
After S-Off, some had 'error 16' messages when trying to dial or text. It happened to me as well. As you might of read, just let the phone connect to Sprint and the representative will fix it on their end. Or just call the activations line and tell them you got a 'error 16' and can't dial, they'll fix it for you. If clockwork recovery fails for you like it did for me, 'WillJitsu' also posted a video for the TeamWin recovery install.
The only problem I had was during the '.zip' name change. On my computer running Windows 7, the file name doesn't show the '.zip' at the end so when I was changing it as instructed, I got errors (since I didn't know, I was accidentally making into a '.zip.zip' thus it never worked). Other than that, it was very simple to do.
Hope it helps and good luck!
Thanks for the replies so far. Any other quirks or things I need to know ? I totally wanna do this. I think tonight I will do temp root do a titanium backup and read some more and check out the videos. Do a factory reset after the temp root then go after the full perm root. Is there any way to avoid the error 16 and customer service call or is it a random issue?
I'm also curious. Let's say I want to return the phone back to stock and unroot it ? Can I and how? Also what's a good ROM for me to start with? Anything to avoid?
Sorry for all the noob questions. I totally apreciate the help and advice.
Sent from my EVO 3d
just read the instructions and follow them step by step and you will be fine
happy flashing!
You should just do the Revolutionary method, no need to temp root anymore. IIRC there were some that had problems since they started with temp root and attempted to do Revolutionary (best to search on this to confirm and see what kind of resolution they took).
Not sure if the Sprint call centers are open on the weekends so probably do it on Monday during their normal business hours.
For the Error 16, don't worry about calling in, they fix it quickly after you answer some account security questions to confirm that you are the actual owner of the account. If you search, someone posted how to do this without calling in but honestly I can't remember if it worked or not plus you might need your msl number.
To revert back to S-On, here's the post by 'rtbluver':
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194053
I've never done the S-On so I can't comment on it.
Whole bunch of ROM's in the Developer section, best to click on them and see what they offer. It really depends on what you want in a ROM.
Good luck, enjoy your 3D!
Thanks all..
Well HiredGUN.45 , I didnt get to read your post before hand but I did do the Temp root. From what I read about doing perma root after doing Temp root is you need to do a factory reset. I assume after doing that I can load my back up from Titanium Pro and it will return it all as it was before temp root? Or do I need to do something different?
And I wont be doing Perma Root Til Monday in case I need to call in for the Error 16 issue.
Heres a question as I dont know......
When Rooting a Phone does it keep all the same functions? I noticed there was a flash/rom for the Radio in the phone. Why would you need to flash that? I still want to make sure I can Text, Call, Use 3 and 4g as well as my other features.

yes, you still keep all the features...just read each rom, pretty sure all roms have everything working but every now and then you may get a bug like we did with the og evo like 4g wouldn't work or hdmi etc...however they would eventually all get fixed due to the great devs we have here.
The reception of your phone depends on a combination of many different things, including your radio. Flashing a new radio will change the performance of your wireless signal, maybe for the better, maybe for the worse...
I would only flash a radio if I were you if a Rom Developer had specific instructions to do so.
First root your phone with revolutionary. Everything will still remain the same as if nothing happened. When your phone boots back up, let it go through the handsfree activation. This should help you avoid the error 16 message. If not try to make a call and let sprint fix the issue, and of course don't mention root. Everything after the actual root process is a step by step learning type of thing. Email me and ill be glad to help you get started with all the benefits of rooting, or if you need help or questions with the actual revolutionary process I can help out as well.

My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! -Security Off-
Ok I did the Temp root. Used Titanium Back up ( I also use another good back up program that works with bot root and non rooted phones My back up pro) But I did get successful Temp root. I went ahead and made back ups. Then did a factory restore. Wiped both the Phone and SD card. Now I have something different going on. I use a Blueant Blue Toorh head piece. It talks and reports things to you. But before all this When I powered on the Head piece. It would say " Powering up" Followed by "Your Phone is Connected" Then Followed by saying "HTC EVO 3D"
Now it says ALL of that EXCEPT.... When it gets to wher it says the manufacture and name of the phone... It says "PG 86 thousand One hundred" And yes I know thats the Model number of the Phone. But what happened to the HTC Evo 3D call out?
Either way Tomorrow at some point in time Im gonna do Perm root.

After you root and activate and verify that everything is working on your rooted stock rom, I'd recommend that you do a nandroid backup before you start flashing other roms. That way, you'll always be able to find your way back to where you were right after rooting in case things go south. Be sure to check the box next to "wimax" and verify that they get backed up with everything else. Should be around 12MB of data in a folder at the backup location on your SD card. Wouldn't hurt to keep a couple full backups.
The ability to nandoid backup is the main reason I root my androids.

You do this VIA your recovery menu under 'nandroid'. I just rooted mine today and had a couple stumbling blocks that weren't outlined in the root guide and I can see pplnew to this banging their heads out of frustration.feel free to pm me if you run into any issues. You may run into an issue with adb not seeing your device,and your bootloader not seeing your recovery.zip both had me stumped for a while but the fixes were really easy.

If you did what i just highlighted then you basically temp rooted for nothing. From my limited understanding, temp rooting is just to get a Titanium backup of the stock phone in case anything happens. But if you wiped the phone AND the SD card then you erased any backup you made.
Hey guys
Well the familar volume up/down button broken happened to me, phones not that old either
Had it repaired in the UK straight from Samsung, who's service is to be honest damm bloody good! Special Delivery pre paid envelope sent, and the return time was less than a week inc a Bank Holiday day, so that part of the service was great!
Now the not so good part lol
The phone was rooted by a mate I think who said he could "UNLOCK" the carrier for me, so I could use my simcard.... a nice little note from Samsung was packed in with my phone, telling me the fault had been repaired, and the very latest firmware had been installed to keep the device UP TO DATE :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Now of course, not only is the phone back to stock, its not accepting my simcard either!!
I have a few questions which im hoping someone might be able to help with
I looked at the Cyangenmod10 which I found by accident, it looks good and to be honest I hated my radio cutting out because I had turned over and the phone had too, so I wouldn't miss that specific feature, but would installing it "ROOT" the phone?
I need to be able to use my carrier. I may have come across some APK files which might need to be installed, and some of these need the phone rooted, Titanium Backup is another app I use which needs rooting and Superuser access I believe
Will all this be done if Cyangenmod10 is put on the phone?
Any help or info appreciated please
Flashing a custom rom will not unlock your phone!
And AFAIK, your phone needs to be rooted before trying to flash CM
So:
-first root your phone with CF-root by Chainfire
-then unlock your phone with GalaxSim Unlock by Spocky12

Yes, I know it can be turned off, but to be honest coming from an iPhone 4s to this, The S3 is FAR superior, there are just a few things I am either not used to, or dont like, touchwiz being one lol
Ok well I will root, and unlock then have a think.... any views on CyanogenMod10 and is it easy to remove if its not liked?
I like the look of it from what I have seen, looks nice and clean, easy to use, just wanted to ask your opinions
Root
Backup apps with Titanium Backup Pro .
Backup EFS folder .
Backup current firmware with CWM recovery .
Try what you want and restore back .
jje
Well, I rooted it successfully after following the instructions, I then installed the Sim Unlock and it said it couldnt find busybox, so I installed that, then went back to sim unlock and it failed, all the things are in RED
I tried rebooting the phone, it turns on and asks for an unlock code, tried Sim unlock again, not working, any ideas?
VRALL4 soft bricked my phone. "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless"
This update bricked my phone and I don't know why. I was watching YouTube videos, went to go pee and came back to a "System software is not authorized by Verizon Wireless" message. This was minutes before I had to leave to work so I just popped my SIM in my galaxy nexus . Anybody know how to undo this? I got no warnings of update. I only found out about the update just now online. it sopped working around 10am pst ,the time of update (at least this was a constant time I found online for it). Im rooted but not unlocked cause I had no desire to change Roms. And thus I am not backed up at all.
Any way to fix without Odin stock flash? I wanted to give up on flashing with this phone. Ugh.
Thanks
Nope. Had the same thing and had to Odin.
It has a bootloader in it. If you guys are gonna mess with your devices, you need to steer clear of OTAs unless given the all clear by those who know.

Exactly my point. I never wanted to mess with this phone. Never even wanted to unlock it. Didnt get an option to update. The screen just popped up.
If I had the option I would of said no since I didnt want to lose root. I need my RootDim app or all go crazy.

I've a feeling its the bootloader, although it shouldn't have been possible if you had a custom recovery. Were you using the stock recovery?
If you did anything besides root your phone, the OTA should have failed at some point in the verification process.

Changing carrier won't stop the annoyances you see with the device. You have to change the device too.
As I mentioned in another thread, all carriers suck. It wasn't all that long ago that ATT didn't allow sideloading.

I have that issue now..im using wifeys phone. I can get to download mode. I flashed stockroot66 from galaxynote2.com it went 75% then failed. I tried the stock rom as well. No go on my end.
I think I have to unick bootloader and then flash the stock rom. Is that possible for me to unlock bootloader then flash?
I hope im making sense. Please correct me if im wrong.

[GUIDE][VZW Edition]How to Root/Recovery/Rom the VZW Galaxy Note II!
Here is a guide I have put together for the VZW Samsung SCH-I605 Galaxy Note II
it should help just take your time it worked for me and on you tube adam outler has a vid. that shows you how ..... i flashed a tmobile rom the other day and locked up mine and got the same message but luckily i had custome recovery and wiped it away and flashed my back up ...if it works youll have TWRP recovery ...MAKE A BACKUP right from jump in case it trys to update again ... hope ive helped you :victory:
click the note 2 link in my sig and don't use anything from galaxynote2.com...xda has everything you need right here and its guaranteed to be from original source.
This was my mother's phone originally. I worked on it like 8 months ago, so I couldn't even begin to recount the actual steps I took to get it unlocked/custom rom'd.
But I do know, it's currently showing S-OFF, hboot 1.40.1100, I've got TWRP on it, and CM 11(did that a few weeks ago to check out the latest features).
Phone has no active service through Sprint. I'm going to activate it on Ting(already checked the ESN, they say it will activate) Problem is, when I put my Galaxy s2 on Ting, I had to temp-boot the stock rom in order for the phone to do whatever it needs to do to activate service, and also if I wanted to update the PRL and whatnot. So my question is, does anyone know if that is necessary with this phone? And if so, is there an easy way to temp-boot into a stock rom to get the job done?
I came across the Boot Manager Lite app(which wouldn't load and I had to uninstall), but I assume that works with any rom zip that is flashable through cwm/twrp, which I can't seem to find one for stock.
Anyone have any ideas on the easiest way to do this? Or is it even necessary to be in stock to activate? Or if I have to go fully back to stock to activate and then back to custom, is it going to be a nightmare like I remember it being to unlock the thing originally? Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks guys.
*EDIT* Also, if anyone can give me a good answer/quick instruction, and has a Ting referral code, I'll be glad to use it when I activate. $20 for me, $20 for you. Win/Win Otherwise I'm using the code from a popular Youtuber, lol
**EDIT2** Think I may have just solved my own problem, If so, I'll post the solution, so that this thread is not a total waste.

Don't use T-Mobiles firmware on your MetroPCS phone.
This is what you need to do.
And for the love of all that is good in this world, next time DO A BACKUP before flashing things. You installed TWRP, which gives you the ability to make a complete backup of your system exactly as it is at that point in time. If you had done a back-up before you screwed up your phone, it would have taken you but a few minutes to unscrew it.
I apologize for being harsh, but it seems to me like you really need to read and research a lot more. I always (well, usually...almost bricked my tablet the other day) read everything I can find about something potentially risky before doing it. Let this be a learning experience for you. Read as much as you can, understand what it is you are actually doing rather than just following some guide, and if you don't understand, just ask. I and most of us here would rather you asked a noobish question instead of going blindly ahead and screwing your phone up. Playing around with root and recovery and flashing without understanding it is like thinking you can perform open heart surgery with a meat cleaver because you've seen every episode of ER, Scrubs, and Grey's Anatomy.

Hm. I didn't think about that. I think you might need to get an SD card. Go on Amazon or eBay and pick one up. An 8GB one can be had for literally a few bucks, but a 64GB class 10 one for $35 is an awesome thing too.

You can always use Samsung Kies 3 to flash your phone back to stock. You need your serial number though, and for some reason it is not printed on the back of the device(at least for me). A call to tech support should get that sorted anyway.
Alternatively, you can do this with Odin to a very similar effect. Search Google for something like "T399NUVUANK3 tar" to get the file you need, my personal backup is corrupt so I can't share.

Ugh... I own a t399n and I'm doing some real development on it. . I've made a stock odex and deodexed rooted zip files for the t399n and haven't posted them yet. . If you're in a bad way still hit me up and I'll have you up and running in no time. Fun things coming for metro users. Who says you have to pay for a high end device to have a high end device? He he he....
Do you have a backup I bicked my samsung galaxy light metropcs then I unbricked it by restoring a backup for the samsung galaxy light that I found online. Search fresh backup for samsung galaxy light sgh t399n.

Which TWRP did you flash? Did you flash T-Mobile firmware? I need to know EXACTLY what you did.

You're quite uppity, aren't you? I had no trouble understanding exactly what he did.

Are you seriously giving me crap about a post from over a year ago? Nice contribution to the discussion.:good: I have no idea if the OP ever fixed his phone, but at least I tried to help.

And the age of the post, with respect to your attitude, is relevant how?

I just love getting an email alert at 4am because someone quoted me to post absolutely nothing of substance.
It's relevant because IT WAS A YEAR AGO! I don't remember why I was so cranky that day. I did apologize to him for it. Did you notice that I also still did my best to help him? Do you have a solution to his problem? Does he even still have this phone, given that it was a year ago? If you want to fixate on my posts, fixate on the hundreds of times I've been thanked for helping others, especially going above and beyond helping people find the perfect device for them. I'm not here to be grumpy, I'm here to help people, and get help when needed. Why are you here? To pester me? Look, I respect my elders, and you're clearly older, but at the same time don't presume to talk down to me. Try reflecting on yourself and your motive in making a useless post, bumping a thread dead for several months (a severe breach of netiquette), purely to insult another member.
Come to think of it, my email alert wasn't because I was quoted (I have that feature turned off). I got the alert because I'm still subscribed to this thread, having done so in case there were new posts that might enable me to help the OP. I suppose I should unsubscribe, giving the fact that nobody has posted anything of use or substance in 7 months or so.
