[Q] roooted, do i take update? - HTC EVO 3D

Hi, I'm rooted and I just got an alert to download an update! Is this normal?
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk

Never take an ota when you are rooted, thats the rule of thumb. It won't hurt now because both versions of the hboot are unlockable using revolutionary, but i would suggest flashing a rom that's based off the ota.

this particular time, go for it

I guess im confused as to why I'm even getting an option to update

Because your stock rooted. If you were running a custom rom you wouldnt, but on the stock system everything is the same except for root access and whatever you saw fit to change.

am I correct in assuming that there isn't any custom rom yet for the evo 3d yet. I'm on the temp perm root

There are already quite a few custom roms on the Dev page already, and it's still below 24 hours since unlock and root. Read the [ROM] posts and chose one to flash, after you Revolutionize.

Yes like he said this time is ok. We don't know if the bootloaders will change in the future though, so you can update to get back to the newest and start using custom roms from there.
Personally if I can stay stock rooted and just keep using the HTC updates I would.

Cant Root Permission Denied

I was rooted on this Thunderbolt and went back to stock since the phone isn't really mine and I really didn't want to play the support role any longer. The owner of the phone now installed the latest Verizon update which is pretty good but the owners misses Wifi Tether so I agreed to re-root the phone. Everything is well until I try to do the "dd if=/data/local/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" command in adb, the md5 checksum is an exact match but I get a permission denied error which I didn't get before.
Any idea how I can get around this? Thanks!
I had the same thing I'm not sure what was the Cuase but I did the 3 click root and worked for me hope that helps

I just used the root procedure in the development section. It worked fine. Sounds like superuser didn't take. Try again and make sure you do exactly what is written.

The atrix is projected to get it a month or two before we do, so that's what were waiting for. What we need is for anyone on complete stock to use cheesecake to check the moto servers every couple of days as that is where we normally get leaked updates.

By complete stock do you mean, a non rooted, non unlocked bootloader photon, or could it be a photon that is rooted but does not have the bootloader unlocked

Im not entirely sure. I know that users of MOFs 2.3.5ish rom are unable to hit the server appropriately and that is as close to stock as possible (ie, no custom kernel, no unlock) except for being rooted. Then again, MOF could have made other changes im not aware of that could possible break the ability. I would say, if you are stock and rooted, try it. If that doesnt work, we know you must be completely stock.

So we need a non rooted stock phone for this but you hafta root to use it?
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Root is okay, but has to be running the stock ROM.
So if I'm doing this right, and an update becomes available, I should get a notification other than "should be good" when i check... Right?
Also, I'm staying non rooted. For now.

That's where you have to be careful. Sometimes updates will download and want to automatically install.
There are a few threads here explaining how to download and extract the updates. I've never gone that far myself.

Safe to flash radios on boost?

Hello again. I'm here with another question from 3d land.
My EVO 3D CDMA is flashed to Boost Mobile (meid/esn was changed). I see that the new ota is available.
Is it safe to flash this firmware? Will it reset my esn/meid to the original?

Hey do u have radio disconnect like alot of us are having. Can't seem to figure this out. I have 2 EVO 3ds one is s on and has no root even on stock gingerbread. The other one is s off with cool Rom v7 with latest firmware and I still random straight to voicemail problems. When I call out it returns to normal. I'm going to try something else tomorrow I'm going to turn this phone off and turn my diner back on for the day and see if it is happening on the doner.

you can check your "accloc"...(something like that)...settings in qpst.....the lower the number, the higher priority your phone has on the tower. (2) is a good number to be set at....i think boost default is (5)

You should never use *228 on an lte device. It usually cooks the sim card. I would go to stock and probably get a new sim now. A ROM usually can't affect signal unless it's an AOSP ROM, but if that's the only variable changed then it would make sense to undo it.

I would use the full JB stock image. So you're full stock and also if you have to go into Verizon is already ready. Also I suggest triangle away before doing it

whats the easiest root/unlockbootloader method?

is there any one click methods?
the ones in the and development forum are a little complex and i dont feel like going through it if theres something easier
I hate to be the guy to say it. If the methods your're finding are too complex, you may be better off just staying put where you are.

I'll need to agree with that. Although I believe there is a program out there that has like a one-click method? I'd research it quick but I'm far too lazy right now. Regaw or something?

MeanBean is always a great ROM for those who are scared to S-OFF. But aren't you suppose to flash the kernel after? Wouldn't flashgui's kernel install be overridden?
