Anyone help! Please I really loved the hack on 4.1.26 but don't wanna go thru the whole root process is so annoying
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
There is no webtop mod for a un-rooted phone the rooting process is very simple now. Update to 1.8.3 place gingerbreak on sd card and run it and its rooted i am the noobest of noobs when it comes to androids and im a very stupid person when it comes to this kind of stuff and i managed it. Go to the dev section and theres a good guide to do it now. It usually takes 25 min to go from a fresh sbf flash to a rooted, sideloaded, Gingerblur and webtop. along with a CWM back up its not that bad no more
Yeah lol rooting is so easy now

So I've been having problems with my phone, got a warranty replacement phone delivered yesterday. Got so excited that I forgot that I would need to do an OTA update on the old phone to get it back to stock, so maybe they wouldn't notice it had been rooted. Can they tell if had been rooted, even if its taken back to the original state? I can't seem to find Unaltered Froyo Odin tar files anywhere. I really don't know what to do anymore, I feel like I've searched everywhere.
just odin DL09 or DI01 and ota update from there... might take a little time but it'll be legit
That was the original plan, I guess my day was kind of chaotic. In the midst of things I already activated the new phone... So it won't let the old one get the ota. I think I really screwed up

Actually all my replacements I've just done the dl09 and sent it back.

Good To Know
So I rooted my EVO 3D with unrEVOked, and I noticed some problems, so I went back to 100% complete stock. So after a couple of days, I started getting SMS errors and radio interfearances. Well I got it fixed a while ago, but it also lagged once in a while when I'm typing a message, sometimes scrolling through screens, when I make my phone go to sleep, it like sleeps then wakes up right away, but now it's been like around two weeks, and I've been having a little more lag when I'm typing a message, or making the phone go to sleep, so I have to keep restarting the phone to make it run smooth and fast. I updated the phone already, and idk if its the update or the root that messed up the phone, but if anyone knows HOW this happened, and how I can get rid of this lag, then PLEASE help me out, cause this lag is pissing me off. Thanks.
Root your phone again and get rid of that sprint crap...problem solved..hehe

But I updated my phone to the latest version. Can I still root it?
U can through HTC but u can't flash very much..just 2.3.4 stuff...do u have s-on or s-off?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Oh, well then how do I root it again? Cause I mean the lag pisses me off.
Go to htcdev.com and unlock your phone then find the Su zip in the dev section,then flash a recovery either twrp or cwm then u should be good...I'm assuming you have s-on correct?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Oh alrite then, nd yes I do.
Wait, and another thing, can I still root if I have 2.3.4??
Then yeah follow the directions from HTC then do the rest and flash 2.3.4 roms u won't be able to flash kernels yet but u will soon..should find some good roms from the devs
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
As long as u flash the Su zip then you will b rooted and flash a recovery I prefer twrp...go to the development section and there will b a walkthrough
For ya...
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
After you flash a recovery like twrp make sure you wipe everything including cache and the complete wipe of the phone before flashing any ROM, I think that's why your experiencing lag because you flashed over the stock ROM when you should of wiped everything before flashing.

Wait do I get the Su zip and walkthrough? Do I get it here or at HTC?
Wait, do I get the Su zip and walkthrough here, or at the HTC dev website?

Well, actually, my phone has nothing of root whatsoever, so its 100% stock.
You should make sure you know what your doing before trying things, You may end up with the most attractive paperweight around.
If you dont know what your doing you should NOT attempt things like this.
Hahaha you tell em Josh

Well, most people that first come here don't know what they are doing. I think what you meant to say is, if you don't even know where or how to find a guide on rooting and flashing then before attempting anything, there is one thing you should do first. READ!!!! Read the stickies in the dev forum. Read the links in the stickies in the dev forum. Use Google to find as much info on the internet as you can before attempting anything!!! Please, for your own good read as much as you can. We cannot hold your hand through it. You need to be able to do this on your own. Read until you become familiar with the terminology. Then if you still don't understand come back here and ask. If you do that we will understand your questions better and you will understand the answers better. We all started out knowing nothing about this. I read on these forums for 2 years before posting anything. I am by no means a professional, but I do understand how to search for and find the answers to my questions.
Ok so i restored my stock backup because i needed to do a fresh install of unnamed. now when i turn the phone off it comes right back on and when i try to go into recovery it just continues booting up. what have i done and what do i need to do?
Even with phone on you can press and hold power and both volume up and down. Keep holding it and it will boot you into recovery.

there is no need to go to stock to do a new rom flash
The problem is fixed but now i face a new dilemma. When i go to turn the phone off it comes right back on. Even with a hard shut down. Also happens when i pull the battery and put it back in. It will turn on again by it self. I am on unnamed 1.3.1 with the blue monkey theme. Any ideas?
what if maybe your power button is tweaked?
I guess warranty wouldnt cover it because I'm rooted?

If you revert the root using entropy rom and a jig you can return it for warranty work undetected.

Ok I'm honestly baffled here. My battery life has been terrible. Here's what has been done recently. two days ago I restored my stock back up and flashed unnamed 1.3.1. Noticed my battery was dying very quickly. So I went into cwm. Wiped data, cache and davik cache and reflashed unnamed 1.3.1. My battery is dying no exaggeration about 10% every 40-50 minutes. In addition to all this...my phone wont stay turned off. It turns it self on after about 2 seconds. Ugh please help me.

Wow. That's pretty rough. I say go back to 100% stock and see how it goes. If it still is dropping that fast your battery may be bad.
Sent from my páhhōniē
The phone screen turning back on so often says "rogue app" to me.
I really appreciate the replys. I'm going to take one more day and see how it goes...if its still not working right ill be buying a USB jig and learning how to get back to stock.

Also when you say go back to 100% stock...do you mean like restore my stock back up? Or am i going back to 100% stock unrooted? Or what? I've seen a couple threads, I'm just confused so I apologize. If you could guide me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Use Entropy512's return/unbrick to stock package. Or I have an Odin3 OneClick Downloader of his package is you prefer. It's a little easier. See the link in my signature.
There is no such thing as a backup of 100% stock. To make a working nandroid backup, you need to already have a custom kernel installed.

Thank you so much. I will check it out when I get home. So after I do that I'll still be rooted? Or do I need to root again before I flash a rom again? I promise im almost out of noob questions.
And I might try getting a new battery to fix the other problem. I'd hate to have to send my phone in for warranty
EDIT: ok i just looked at your link with odin 3. say i use the one without root. i would essentially be bone stock out of the box correct? and from there i could just start over, use the guide on how to root, etc.?

The only difference between the two packages is one will give you root while the other will not. If you go with the one with root you will be 100% stock aside from root. I only recommend going 100% because then you'll know it won't be any rogue apps draining the battery or issues from a custom rom. If you get the expected battery life stock rom has then you'll know the battery is good. If it's lower than what is usually is for stock rom most at&t stores will replace the battery on the spot for you.
So no benefit of going with the package without root unless you're taking it back to at&t.

indeed i will sir.
although i do have another question..sorry. Ok so when i first rooted i became acustom to CWM and flashing unnamed rom themes in that. After i used odin3 one click it gives me the android system recovery 3e and ive never seen it before. can i still flash unnamed through this or do i do something different?
edit: ha nevermind i found it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18576627#post18576627
sorry.
I'm planning to get the SGSII soon and doing the old root/custom rom thing. I've seen a lot of posts here whete people are concerned about trip counts. Why is this? Is AT&T somehow able to monitor this? What's the scoop gents?

it can void warranty?
A proper root/flash/install or a $1.25 jig clears that up.
My friend wants "adaway" but doesn't want to root his phone.
Can they tell if it's "rooted" if I do "rooted+stock" by entropy? (I have a jig)
He has instantaneous download speeds on his DATA/3g. I don't. ??? Whats up with that? Same phone, same place etc. etc. I don't wanna root his phone if that'll mess it up, he loves his stock, i understand him lol.
You can always root and flash modems to get better signal and speed. There's also zips that you can download to go back to stock for selling and w.e. if you rooted and wanted to go back to stock. Excuse me if I didn't help.
