This thread will always be a work in progress, there may be times when it stays static for a while due to the fluctuating nature of events if you notice it hasn't been updated in a while don't assume it is dormant.
Please do not post in this thread for support/question etc. This is intended to to be a ONE WAY THREAD. I write down the information and other people read it. Do not consider this as a rebuke to anyone nor an attempt on my part to indicate that I am "the authority on all things flyer" that is not the case. I am simply indicating that I will maintain a thread for information on all things development related. In addition Scabes24 will maintain a list of useful links in post 5. If either of us runs out space we will get a moderator to make room for more posts. If there is anything you feel is missing and can contribute to the thread then PM me an I will add it. The only exception to this is for ROM Devs who want to grab one post each after the general information to maintain an Index of their ROMs / releases, the ROM must be released to post in this thread, no announcements of upcoming releases etc.
If you're wondering why I said all this...the simple answer is I want a simple location for new people to get all the information on this stuff without having to trawl through pages and pages of posts in case there is a useful piece of information. It should all be in the first 5 posts + any posts the ROM developers use.
Anything that does not fall into these categories I will ask a moderator to delete from the thread.
Do not under any circumstances post a reply to say thanks or similar. If you want to say thanks, use the thanks button.

View needs a dedicated thread, maybe?
With the recent massive holiday promotion and sales of "Sprint's HTC Evo View 4G", we may need a separate thread for the Noobs who are getting confused whether they can use Flyer mods/roms/hacks. As a View user, even I am not always sure which of these posts pertain to the View.
Just a friendly suggestion to the gods of XDA....

Maybe when there is something worth posting for the view I'll do that, however for now everything is labeled Flyer, View or nothing if it applies to both models or is android generic.

I’ve been on this forum for a few weeks now and seen many posts on rooting/s-off etc, and I am confused over the options. (thanks to Globatron and others for their hard work). I was hoping that someone could give me the right reference.
I have the stock View with GB and the OTA update has been staring at me for some time now. I don’t (yet) want to upgrade To HC but I do want to do things like backups, remove Sprint bloatware etc. I understand that I have to root the device to do this. Can anyone point me to the steps necessary to root my stock View? Do I just run the prerequisite steps in Globatrons thread? Which steps specifically?
If I do this, and later decide to update to the OTA HC update, will that brick the View? Do I have to use one of the custom ROMs (and approaches) documented here?
Also, if someone here does a custom ICS ROM for the View, could we go from GB direct, or would we have to go GB > HC > ICS?
Thx for your help.
This thread does not belong in development. It belongs in the general section. The development forum is for just that threads that are about development (roms, kernels, recoveries, tools) and not for general how to questions or questions on how to root.

FAQ Post 1
[SIZE=+3]Frequently Asked Questions[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]HTC Rezound (ADR6425/Vigor)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]This a short list of frequently asked questions in this device forum and the answers often given as a response. It should serve as a starting point for gathering knowledge and finding solutions to many common problems. Please only post in this thread with feedback on how to improve this document. Do not post "Thank you" type responses. If you have additional questions or require more help, try to find an existing thread or create your own. Do not use this as a general help thread.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]Q1: I try to ask a question in a development thread, but I keep getting flamed or called a noob. Why?[/SIZE]
Respectfully, development threads located in the development forums for devices are not the right place to ask questions. You must first search using the sites search features for your answer. If an answer for your question cannot be found, then by all means please ask your question in the device forums "Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting" section. Which for the Rezound this section is found here: Rezound Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
[SIZE=+1]Q2: I try to comment in my favorite developers thread in development, but I do not have 10 posts on XDA yet. What can I do?[/SIZE]
The 10 post rule is an XDA rule and will likely not change for the foreseeable future. It's intended purpose is to maintain cleanliness and order in our developers threads in the development section by preventing new members from asking questions that may have been answered already or posting random comments that are not development related in those threads. So what you can do is go to the question and answers section for your device to ask your questions (after searching of course), or, if you are knowledgeable enough, try to answer some of the questions you find in your device's forums or on XDA's questions and answers forums. You will gain your 10 posts soon enough, and even better, in the appropriate way.
[SIZE=+1]Q3: I want to learn more about the Rezound such as the device's specs, where can I find that info?[/SIZE]
You may visit HTC's official device page here (once it is made available again ), XDA's Wiki page for the HTC Rezound, or view the devices page on wikipedia HERE.
[SIZE=+1]Q4: Is the HTC Rezound "unlockable"?[/SIZE]
Yes. Please see HERE for more info on unlocking the bootloader. Note that the HTC Rezound is a Verizon global device, and is therefore not SIM locked in any way.
[SIZE=+1]Q5: Why does my screen go black when I'm on a phone call?[/SIZE]
Your proximity sensor is being incorrectly triggered. Most of the time, this is calibration problem rather than a sensor problem. To fix, download Chad0989's Rezound Proximity Sensor Calibrator app. You will see a "NEAR" reading on the screen. Slowly increase the High Threshold until you see a "FAR" reading. Increase the High Threshold by 3-5 more than it takes to trigger a "FAR" reading. Test the new settings by covering and uncovering the Verizon logo on the front of the phone. The reading should switch between NEAR and FAR. Check "Set on boot" and close the app. If this fix does not work for you, your proximity sensor is bad, and you will need to contact Verizon for a replacement phone.
[SIZE=+1]Q6: Why is my MicroSD card not being read or found by the device?[/SIZE]
Please ensure your MicroSD card is formatted properly to fat32. More info on properly formatting an sd card can be found by doing a simple search in Google.
[SIZE=+1]Q7: There is a bug in my favorite developers rom or other work. What can I do to help my developer?[/SIZE]
Developers LOVE it when users get involved in trying to help fix bugs. The best thing you can do is create a "logcat" of the bug and then use a service such as pastebin.com to paste the logcat and provide a link in the developers thread with a small description of the bug and how to replicate it. For more info on taking a logcat here are two links you should read to learn all you need about logcat.
Link 1: This is the official logcat guide straight from Google/Android. Click Here
Link 2: This is an awesome guide written by another XDA member. It is a great guide. Click Here
[SIZE=+1]Q8: What is a custom recovery?[/SIZE]
A custom recovery takes the place of HTC's stock recovery once you root your phone. There are three custom recoveries TWRP (team win recovery project), CWMR (ClockworkMod Recovery) and Amon RA. When choosing which recovery to use, read the ROM/kernel op that you want to flash, most of the time they will tell you which recovery is sorted for their project. In most cases any of the recoveries work just fine, so ultimately the choice is up to you, but if you decide to go with a recovery that the developer did not recommend, you may not recieve support in that developers thread.
[SIZE=+1]Q9: What is Wi-Fi Tether and how do I use it? (root only)[/SIZE]
Wi-Fi tether is used to share your phones data connection (3G/4G) with another WiFi enabled device. It is not recommended to use WiFi Tether as your primary home internet. Doing so could cause excessive data charges on your bill. For a more comprehensive explanation and how to install and use Click Here
[SIZE=+1]Q10: What is ADB and how do I use it?[/SIZE]
Please see the official Google/Android ADB Guide
[SIZE=+1]Q11: What is the proper way to install a Rom?[/SIZE]
In almost every case the proper instructions for flashing a custom Rom will be posted in the ROM's OP. The typical instructions consist of downloading the ROM, transferring it to the root of your SD Card, Checking MD5 Sum, reboot to recovery, perform factory data reset, wipe system, data, dalvik cache, and cache, followed by installing the ROM from your external SD Card. Please do not report bugs to the developer if you have flashed the latest version of the ROM over the previous version without wiping or following the instructions properly. If you do have bugs and have not seen those bugs reported in the development thread for the ROM previously, please take a logcat as instructed in Q7 and report it to the developer.
This FAQ is by no means in order or complete.
The FAQ will be an on going project. With the help from the Rezound community we can work to make it more informative.
PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE IMPROVEMENTS OR MORE QUESTIONS FOR THE FAQ.

Very good post. I find it very general though. It might be good idea to have it posted in other threads. I think a lot of people could benefit from this information. Even people who aren't using rezounds.

Ideally this is the exact point. To be a 'general' FAQ for the Rezound. If you venture into other device subforums you will find they too also have the same general FAQ. Of course with relavent info for each specific device.
Also, Recognized Developers are allowed to start FAQ/Q&A threads in the Q&A section which should extend their Rom threads in the Development section. Since this is a relatively new program, not many of the devs know about it.
Excellent FAQ - thanks!
hello.i have a Sprint htc evo 3d,android version 4.0.3.software version.2.95.651.6710rd.I would like to know whats the best and easiest way to root the evo3d and what is a good rom to run that is very stable and wifi and everything works..and a good kernel to run with it..i have rooted tablets and other phones before,but evo looks a lil complicated..sorry if posted in wrong section,and thank you again for your help..( i tried following these steps..-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218193) watching the video and going step by step..doing full root part..when i go and open revolutionary.and run it.gives me..(your device.shooter with hboot 1.58.0000 is not supported at this time..can someone please help me..
You can't find the relevant thread and follow directions? I'll even help you out, you'll need a 32bit unix/linux. Ubuntu has a nice bootable you can burn and use. Then you use the jpuntubear executable downloaded from their website within that. Granted the one provided by the relevant thread might work on a 32bit OS but I can verify that it didn't work on Win7 64bit. Oh and you will have to hotwire your phone, literally short circuit your phone to get s-off so you can put a working ROM on. If you just want root and ok with stock OS, then you don't have to short your phone.
Also, if you can't find relevant thread and follow directions how do you expect to survive in the world of custom ROM's?

Lurk More.
I have Windows 7 32 bit..
I also have the same issue. A couple of months ago I tried to get s-off and it failed with the same message. After not finding any relevant information I gave up and just rooted my phone with the stock rom. I have had several android phones (Epic, galaxy SII, Evo 4G, lg Optimus V) and never had any problems. Make sure to reply with an answer rather than bashing the person asking the question.
At the moment I just want to root it..and methods that I have been following don't work..

Additionally, if you have issues with the "wire trick" to get S-OFF you can always just do the HTC unlock. You won't be able to flash HBoots but you can flash ROMs and Kernels (use fastboot to boot into recovery from PC).
I, for one, can state that I've done the JopunutBear "wire trick" successfully twice on a Windows 8, 64-bit OS. However, if you choose to try to do this know that you will be entirely on your own as they no longer support anything other than Linux.

You have not included any additional information about your device obtainable by using 'fastboot getvar all'. I suggest you look through the forums to find at least fastboot and adb if you do not already have them as you seem to be in a position to need them.
Unfortunately your HBoot needs to be S-OFF in order to downgrade HBoot (which, as far as I am aware is only possible with Sunshine, which costs $25, if HBoot is version 1.55 or above; correct me if I am wrong, I am awaiting a reply to my own post regarding a similar topic).
If you manage to gain S-OFF, the procedure is fairly straightforward and is documented here, among other places:
minimally: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2447531,
thoroughly, but note Firewater was superceded by Sunshine: http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f48...-s-off-change-cid-downgrade-hboot-os-1838907/
Also this is a good place to look for more information on using fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277112
and here you may find details on how to S-OFF an HBoot version 1.54 or lower: http://www.htc1guru.com/guides/get-s-off/.
Please always try to search the forums before posting a new thread when looking for the answer to a question you may have as your question may have already been answered. A little "Google-fu" doesn't hurt either.
Also it does help to add a "[Q]" before the title of a thread, followed by a question which sums up what you are essentially asking within the thread when making a new forum thread to ask a question as it does help bring attention to your post as a question.
