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

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

I'd say probably not, since the HTC root is all you need.

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

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.

We apologize for the issues you have experienced with the bootloader unlock for your HTC Evo 3D. HTC is aware that some individuals have been having difficulty with the unlock process and is current investigating the issue. At this time, we do not have an estimated time for a resolution.

The reason they made things like that to root was to keep the folks who don't know enough about it from doing it... They get tired of warranty claims when someone bricks a phone because the user had no idea what they are doing.. Same goes for people who overclock and push it too high and burn the cpu up...
Too keep things like that from happening.

That seems like a whole lot of hassle just to prevent a small fraction of it's user base from fully utilizing their phones.
I'm confident that we only take up a small portions of claims in their warranty department. Maybe they should put more effort into making a phone that keeps up with the competition and lasts.

Well my phone died today, rebooted and would not turn on.. held down power button, power vol dn, etc.
Sprint is ordering me a new phone. My question is, hopefully the phone will not have the latest OTA installed. Is there a way to stop the OTA when I go to activate the new phone? Hopefully it wont just install no matter what.
Thanks
It's possible that the newest version will already be put on there before you even get it.
Otherwise if it's not on there, when you get the ota, let it download and the just don't install it when it ask. Simple as that.

Had my Sprint HTC EV 4G LTe for 5 weeks. Rooted phone after week 1. No problems until week 5 when I had left it in my windshield mount for 2 hours in the sun. After that there were several unexpected re-boots then after executing a "Mirror" app it froze. Any attempt to reboot phone gave continuous white HTC screen with vibrate or boot loop. Bestbuy junked it out replacing the phone. New phone is now updated with new OTA update waiting for new root code... No indication that Bestbuy detected "tampered" screen with root.
Otherwise very happy with phone!

Rooted my exchanged EVO as well. Had no trouble w the exchange at best buy either, but was before ota update. The girl doing my activation didn't turn over my new phone until after all the updates had been performed when the phone is first powered on. Snatch it from them before they accept HTC update is all I'm saying.

If you get the OTA, it is not that big of a deal. You can still root using this method: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/ Did it yesterday and it worked like a charm.

Yeah I dont trust them. Worst case if it comes with the new OTA I'll just do the HTCdev unlock and root. From everything I read it puts me back pretty much where I was with root and s-off.
Just pisses me off quite a few people are having the same issue the phone dies for no apparent reason.
I'm on my wifes og EVO because last night, I plugged in to charge and this morning when I woke up, phone was dead... No button combination worked and I gotta assume its a paperweight...
