I have a rooted hero but when i turn it off and go to turn it on holding power and home i get a picture of a phone with a red triangle with a "!" in it does this mean im not rooted even though i can use wireless tether and other root apps. Am aldo wondering if someone could point me to a fast android 2.3 custom rom that would look nice thanks

You need a custom recovery image download rom manager and flash the clockworkmod that way
I have done that, pressed the power and home button did a back up and rebooted the phone. Just to nake sure its working i pressed the home and power buttons again and got the red triangle screen again

Have another go at pushing the recovery image to your phone and try again.
Elelinux 7.0.0 is a nice GB rom... tweak the cpu speed n it will run fine.
I have tried that, same problem one back up then doesnt work
Is there annother way to put recovery one it ?
Thanks for that rom tho looks nice when it works gonna give it a bash

If thats the only option on the screen, maybe your recovery image is corrupt, your using clockwork right?
I use AmonRA recovery, follow the 'root and recovery' section of this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
Its easier than it sounds, You cant use Rom manager with this recovery image tho, you will have to download your roms manually and put them in the root folder of your SD card. (roms and updates come as a zip file)
Follow the instructions for the roms you want to flash, each has slightly different prerequisites i.e wiping different parts of your phones memory.
take care, have fun...
yep, i had the same issue 2 days ago, your customer recovery isn't working, and the home+power is taking you to the base one.
FINALLY WORKED FOR ME!!!!!
Used ROM manager to flash amonra recovery and did a custom rom flash straight away, then it has worked happily since
Running Elelinux 7.0.0 atm looks really cool
I just got an Evo 3D and I am trying to flash a custom recovery image. I used htcdev to unlock my phone, then I flashed the latest Clockwork mod recovery image to the phone using fastboot, but when I try to boot into recovery from the bootloader it just reboots and it never takes me into recovery. Ive tried flashing a few different recoveries in the hopes that I just got a bad file but nothing works. Any ideas?

Try downloading 4ext from play store, after inatalling it will walk you thru the set up to flash the recovery
Can you get into the bootloader by doing the following:
- Pull out the battery
- Put the battery back in
- Hold the volume down button
- Hold down the power button while still continuing to hold down the volume down button
From there you should go str8 to the bootloader screen rather than the splash screen.
If you get to the bootloader screen, are you able to get into the recovery from the bootloader menu?

Yea, do the battery pull, you can also unchecked 'fastboot' in settings, power.

So since I posted, I have made it to the next step. I have TWRP recovery installed and working, but for some reason the whole boot.img and kernal flashing doesnt work. After trying for another couple hours trying to install MeanROM I have had no success. Flashing the ROM from recovery works fine, but once it gets to the step of updating the kernal, it just freezes and I had to pull the battery (waiting 10+ minutes). After doing so, I could get past the boot screen, but it would never properly load the ROM, I just got an endless status bar and black screen. I went through this process a couple of times before I decided to restore to my original nandroid backup. Even restoring the backup caused it to hang when it got to restoring boot.img. After waiting another 10 minutes I pulled the battery and rebooted and luckily was able to get into the stock Sense ROM, which is better than nothing, but I really wish I could install a ROM like MeanROM.

Try 4ext Recovery (see my signature). It will flash the kernel properly for S-on users.
It didnt work for me, I am still on the stock ROM so I dont have root access. Is there a way to flash 4ext through fastboot?
EDIT: I got it installed with fastboot, trying it now. Thank you for the suggestion!
EDIT 2: I worked!!! Seriously, thank you again!

Glad I could help. Welcome to the addicting world of flashing a new Rom everyday
Sent from my PG86100
I'm new to the world of Android and rooting...I have an HTC Thunderbolt with all of the updates and completed the root process using a one-click program found on a different XDA thread. This program allows rooting without any file loss or software downgrades (hope I'm correct??)
With that said...First: how do I verify that my Thunderbolt is rooted? Does the 'SuperUser' app verify the process was successful or do I have to check somewhere else?
From here, what apps would I use to increase phone performance (slow screen refresh, etc.?) and what other enhancements can I change (tired of waiting for ICS)??
Thanks for any help and guidance that can be provided,
ghdroiduser
There's an app called root checker in the market that you could use. As far as enhancements go there aren't very many apps you can get to better performance. You could get a root uninstaller to remove useless apps that you otherwise couldn't get rid of. Best way to get a better phone going is to flash a custom Rom. There are a few roms that have been developed that are ICS but don't have a working camcorder. Although, flashing these roms will cause you to lose your user data...

I read about an app called V6 supercharger, is this designed for HTC phones? If not, is there another app like it?
Where can I find out more about how rooting my phone let's me change the configuration? Do I have to uninstall and re-install my apps for the superuser function to take over?
Any help or guidance is appreciated...

Hmm... never heard of that app. You don't have to uninstall apps for superuser to take affect although superuser doesn't do anything to typical apps that you would have had before you rooted. I'm really not sure of what you can do on a stock Rom. If I remember, the only time I had a rooted phone with a stock Rom I didn't do anything to it. The best option to better your performance is to install a custom Rom. Make a backup of your stock Rom in recovery in case you need to get back to it. Also, don't take any OTA updates while you are rooted because that will brick your phone and its quite the process to unbrick.

My inquiry from the other day was incorrect...v6 supercharger is a script for improving a rooted phone's memory performance, not an app...that would explain why some people were unfamiliar with the question. When I complete the rooting process, will my my have 'S-root' and what is 'S-root'?
Is this script better than 'smurf' once my device has been rooted?
Additionally, I would like to maximize the Thunderbolt's performance...what would be the next step??
I would like ICS on my phone, however, it seems that Verizon will never get this done...I see there are several roms available for ICS...are there are any roms that do not loose any of the phone's current functionality?? Can I install more than one rom like multiple booting a computer with more than one operating system??
I used a 'one-click' root program from a different xda forum.
HTC Thunderbolt w/ GB 2.3.4, Go Launcher EX

V6 supercharger does help with performance. The liquid ics roms are great and the only functionality you will lose is camcorder. Once you have it installed you can over clock the CPU if you want more performance although it really isn't necessary.

Thank you for your answer...Since I do not use the camcorder function, no great loss...
Are all of the Liquid ICS roms the same or is one source better than another?? What will happen to my phone once Verizon finally release the ICS update or any other update for that matter??
Is 'S-root' something that I have to install or configure? Or does it install/configure during the rooting process?
Again thanks for the help,
ghdroiduser
You must be talking about s off. S off is something that should be done during the rooting process to allow for the installation of aftermarket kernels and for changing radios. In the dev section there is a tool called the allinone thunderbolt tool that will do all of that. You really should get it and run that. There are two versions of liquid ics. One is the stock version and the other is jmod which is the one that sounds more up to speed for you. It comes with the supercharger script already in place so you don't have to do that yourself. Once you flash it you won't have to worry about the official release affecting you at all.

Before you flash anything reboot into your boot loader by powering the phone down and then holding volume down and power. The screen will come up with some info in the top left corner of the boot loader. Tell me what that is showing.

Alright you're good to go. You do have s off which I wasn't sure of. What you need to do is download the rom OK. To get ready for flashing reboot into recovery by going into the boot loader the way I told you. Once there, press volume down so that it will let you choose something in that menu. Select bootloader. After that it will run a check to see if you have a radio update on your SD card. Once it finishes press volume down to highlight recovery. Press power. Once in recovery you need to wipe data cache and dalvik cache before flashing the rom. This is important. If you don't then it will either not boot or it will bootloop. I don't remember all of the menus in cwm because I haven't used it in so long. Go to the menu that let's you select the file for flashing. If you downloaded it from the phone then it will be in the download folder. Find the file and select it. It should prompt you if you want to flash it. Select yes and there you go. You're off into your first ics rom.

Just to add dont get scared if it takes awhile to boot up once its done flashing and you reboot. Some roms can take a few min to fully boot. So when its on the splashscreen just let it be and let it load all the file you just flashed. Welcome to the world of rooting.

I would suggest using 4ext. Its easier to navigate since the recovery is touch enabled and the menus are organized better. Flashing the rom should be done from the phone although it is possible to do it from the PC I wouldn't recommend you trying that just yet. The main thing to remember when flashing a rom is always do a nandroid backup first. I did forget to tell you that. Also just remember to wipe data,cache and dalvik cache before you flash a rom unless the developer makes it clear that it is OK to flash over the current build.

Not really as long as you wipe your caches and data you should be good to go. You can download the rom on to your phone or you can download on to your PC. Once on your PC you will have to transfer the file to your phone via the usb cable.
4ext is a nice touch screen recovery. So you dont have to wear out your vol rockers and power button. Its easy to install just need to download the app.
Heres the thread about 4ext http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890323
I installed an update without thinking a while back on my phone. It was software version 2.13.651.1 or something, I can't remember. I rooted my phone yesterday using this method:
http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/
I can use ROM Manager to create a backup and flash recoveries. When I flash a version of CM10, it gets stuck on a bootloop. When I hold the power and volume down buttons, I see HBOOT 1.19 and S-ON.
Is there no hope for me to flash roms or is there a way that I can still do it? I've read bad things about having a HBOOT 1.15 or above or something like that. I did not get S-OFF before I updated. Can I no longer get S-OFF? I'm not entirely sure what S-OFF is and what I need it for.
I read somewhere on xda that people who have a HBOOT like mine should try this:
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/606748-how-install-kernels-h-boot-1-15-a.html
I'm going to try that now, let's see how it goes.
If you use fastboot to install kernels you should be good to go after a normal flash through recovery, my phone came s-on and hboot 1.19 and I have no problems flashing roms. Only thing I think we can't do are radios without an official update, don't quote me on that though..
Your not screwed. You won't be able to get s-off at this time, but you can still flash roms. When moving from a sense rom to aosp like cm10, you need to flash the kernel...i use flash gui. I'm guessing that is why you are getting the bootloop.

Thank goodness, phew; I thought I was doomed. So if I am to follow #1 on here: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/606748-how-install-kernels-h-boot-1-15-a.html, I should be able to flash roms afterwards? Do I need to do this every time I want to flash a new rom?
EDIT: So I believe my phone ran out of battery during the school day stuck in the bootloop. I am charging it right now and the orange light is there. When I hold down the power and volume down buttons, I get nothing. The screen stays black, but the orange light disappears. Then the orange light comes back. Should I just let it charge?
You just need to do it when switching between different type of roms like aosp and sense. If you stick with cm10 you can just flash the rom after the first time.

Adding on to my last edit, sometimes when I hold down the power and volume down buttons, the 3 virtual buttons blink and then go out as if rebooting my phone. The screen is always black. Nothing is showing up. Should I be worried or do I just need to be patient and wait for my phone to charge a little?
When the screen turns off let go of the power button for a second then hold it down again while continuing to hold down the volume down button. That should boot you into recovery.

The screen is black no matter what I try. I've tried just pressing the power button to turn the phone on, holding power and volume for recovery, holding power button, nothing is working. The screen remains blank no matter what I do right now. Is it just too low battery right now to do anything?

I have no idea why, but CM10 just started working. It was getting stuck in the bootloop for the whole day and even after I had done everything I posted earlier. Just now I tried to RUU and that wasn't working. When it came up with my phone's image version, it was blank. It was saying upgrade from nothing to 2.13.651.1.
I decided to repeat steps from the rooting process I used yesterday: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-l...tc-evo-4g-lte-unlock-bootloadertwrp-recovery/
I did step 25 again and then I did it again, but this time I flashed the stock recovery rom. For some reason unknown to me, CM10 actually loaded through and worked this time. Was something wrong with the other recoveries? I'm just glad it's working.

Thank You So Much for posting that link! I have been searching everywhere to figure it out how to flash rom to rom. My first rom was Meanrom ICS and I didn't have to do anything extra with that. So when I wanted to flash first to CM10, then JellyBam, I couldn't understand why I kept getting stuck in bootloop. I figured out eventually it was all about boot.img, but couldn't figure out how to do it separately.
thanks again.

Can you get into download mode?
Sent from my Nexus using xda premium
First thing is to install cwm touch reconvey by using Odin. Put phone into download mode to do this. Then boot into cwm recovery by holding volume up and down and power all at the same time. Once it vibrates, let go of the power button while still holding the volume keys. Then create a backup to sd card ( external of you have one). Then go ahead and root by either flashing super user or any rooted ROM.
Oh yeah, to put phone into dowlas mode, hold volume down and power then hit volume up key when prompted.

You can root it, then run a titanium backup in order to backup all of the important data.
Also, under settings, there should be a backup option, which you could restore from the stock ROM.
After rooting, and then getting CWM or TWRP installed, you can do a NANDROID backup....which will allow you to back up essentially every bit on your device.
Note that I've never seen a ROM that required CWM, but there are ROMs that require, or reccomend TWRP. That might be the recovery of choice.

Have to find the link for that now.
Another question is, when , after rooting,
will that end any OTA updates?
meaning JB when it come out in the USA for AT&T.

Yes that will end ota updates once you flash a custom ROM. But you can always return to stock later if needed and be angle to do any update that comes out.

If you want to backup your phone you need to be rooted and/or custom recovery first anyways. To get into recovery you hold BOTH volume up and down with the power button. Release power button after text appears. Here you can do a complete NAND backup of your phone. This will backup your entire ROM except for your modem. If you install Titanium Backup or like app you can then backup individual apps or settings.

Well, other than my phone is a Roger's Note..... I prefer the stock build. Tethering is enabled by default. I can switch between 3G, 4G, and LTE. Much easier to unbrand compared to the ATT version. Stock apps are inverted by default. nothing really fancy. Just nice and stable. I put it together myself but couldn't get the help into getting it together in an all in one installable zip. Sam.jh has a like version from Telus here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801689
Hopefully when JB is released he will deodex and zip that one up too.
