My bro just bought a 3d and he wants to root it... He currently using his og EVO and he's planning to use it until the end of the month. My question is: do i root the 3d before he activates it or after? I want to root it ASAP but I dnt know if he will have a problem activating it.

Yes you can root it before you activate it. Just don't flash anything but a stock rom so you can activate everything correctly when the time comes. Once activated, make a nandroid backup and store it somewhere safe. Then flash away!!!

You can root it and make a nandroid of your stock rooted rom then flash away. When it comes time to activate it just restore that nandroid. In the meantime have fun flashing what ever you want.

There is no root yet. So u might as well stop looking.

There's a temp root available, this is not permanent. You loose root when you reboot. Look in the Android Development Section and you will find the information there.

Does anyone know where all the wimax files are located?
I have found 1 in system/lib
I am sure there has to be more.
Thanks in advance.

What do you need them for?
I am going to unlock my bootloader then adb push them back to there locations to see if that retains 4g after unlock. Want to make sure i have them all backed up. Its a long shot but worth a try.

Keep us posted and let us know how it works out for you.
Nice!!

I just unlocked. Going to push the files shortly. Then i have to drive 10miles to 4g area. Will post back.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Tried it. My 4g wont turn on at all. I think something happened when i restored my titanium backup. I think this because it came on after unlocking then after my titanium backup restore it wont come on at all now. I will keep working on it.

No go. Was worth a shot.

That it was. Thanks for trying Man.

From what I have between told, the unlocked bootloader doesn't pass the Wimax keys properly to the system. If that's the case, nothing you change on the ROM side of things will make a difference.

Did you nandroid your stock setup before making any changes or flashing anything? If you did, restore your backup, backup the apk, (and any others that you think you may want/need later), then flash AS and restore the apk. Whenever I first root/flash a phone, I ALWAYS backup the stock apps.
Yes I nandroid backed it up.I just did not want to to have to go through the hassle of resorting using titanium backup then going back.

Just wondering if the Thunderbolt had to be activated before rooting or not.
Anyone know?
I plan on rooting one for my mother in law but she hasn't activated it yet for service.
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Mine was rooted when I activated it. I ended up unrooting because there were problems with my activation unrelated to being rooted. Just makes sure you're on the latest firmware first.

No problem. The reason you should stick with the stock ruu is because if they need software info it will match. I doubt they will hut you never know.

I probably will just root it anyways. If something weird happens, I'll just unroot it and start over.

So it IS safe to root before activating?
Just double checking.

Yeah, just until it gets activated, then I can change over to a different ROM.
Thanks again man.

Yea. I remember on the Eris it wasn't possible to activate on anything but a stock rom. On this I'm not to sure so I would go with a sense 2.1 for sure.

I can say if you have verizon you might wanna wait on rooting even if you root but have a stock rom because i sat in their store over an hour and a half one day setting up a new sim card with a samsung stratosphere i rooted and it had the tweaked rom and stock rom and had to unroot cuz their computer couldnt connect to device right and finally after 8 new simcards i just unrooted used my backup of original factory firmware i took before flashing customized stock rom.... I know im a lil late on this but my advice is root it after its been activated...save yourself hassle and embarrassment knowing they are not supposed to help you when your device is rooted...

This is the reason I never go in the store. I've never had a problem activating a rooted phone. That is why I always suggest going back to a stock firmware though because cm roms and other aosp roms have trouble activating most of the time.

I don't think s-off is going to make much difference what you restore in recovery. People have been flashing back to ICS without issues AFAIK

When used my backup to restore i had to fastboot the kernel. Just use the boot.emmc.win. rename to boot.img. then use fastboot flash boot boot.img.
