My phone just blanketed my screen with a notification that there's a Service update. Simply written "The update is complete and changes will now be applied"
Kinda irked cause it didn't notify me that there was one that i could simply DOWNLOAD, no it just downloads it, and wants to apply it RIGHT away. What the hell is this new update? i'm pretty sure a'lot of you are going to see this pretty soon, otherwise i can only cancel it by pressing home, but it KEEPS COMING BACK.
Edit: should i really be scared about it? i mean the boot loader is already unlocked by HTCDev, should i REALLY care about this update? well besides getting rid of root... now that i think about it.. but then again. I might just let it do it so everyone knows what version it is, and what exactly it entailed. i swear if i get locked out of root from this ill get mad, but whatever. xD FOR SCIENCE!!!!!!! as it were
Edit2: sooo now im feeling kinda dumb, i just realized that it could have possibly just done a profile update itself, the notification went away after pressing ok, but the device didn't reboot. but then again i dont see anything that could have updated. WTf did i just experience? XD does this phone have some ability to update the profile or PRL itself?
Check your prl # in settings and tell us what it says
Edit: yea nvm that was deff. a profile update no worries needed your good

Also, One X is getting a SW update from HTC to remove the bottom menu bar. Wish we could be so lucky. Of course, I would wait til devs release a rooted version and never accept from HTC. I did think it was cool of HTC to address that promptly, though.

My menu bar is already gone. I just wish they'd optimize the sd card so i didn't have to manually move everything over with a file explorer... And fix the damn 3g wifi sleep issues..

True but if they do get root before HTC decides to give it to us, I don't want to be one of the sorry souls who updated and will have to wait on HTC. Not worth it in my opinion, especially just for the Green Hornet.

Actually, the VM notification bug has already been fixed as long as you have S-OFF thanks to rootzwiki. Let's see how long it takes them to integrate that fix, assuming they go that route. In other words, if you are using the rooted MR3 OTA then you are good to go. The fix also works on other GB roms as well and I believe Bamf already includes it.

All good. I just like to sort out the entitlement-minded barking moonbats that get panties in a wad when something doesn't descend from on high according to the gospel words of..... the internet rumor mill! They kinda drive me nuts.
Just brought my white evo that had a manufacturer defect with the vibration function. And got it exchanged for another one and it came outta the box with hboot 1.12! I'm a very happy camper considering the first one I got came with hboot 1.15 outta the box. Now I just gotta root it and unlock the bootloader. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Alright here we go,
If you haven't done so already, flash the most stable T-Mobile RUU. The most stable is not the latest. If you are S-OFF then you don't need to relock the bootloader. The RUU is NOT a stock custom ROM, it's a program that flashes the original stock ROM onto your phone and usually fixes all software related issues.
Check to see if Wi-Fi works. You can unlock the bootloader again if you're not S-OFF then re-root.
Now you may flash a ROM. :thumbup:

On this one I don't know if I can agree with you. Here in Miami, where T-Mobile has already finished refarming and reallocating its bandwidth from the Metro acquisition my WiFi and data is better than ever with the latest baseband. My connection is both fast and stable, and I don't have a single issue. This wasn't the case a couple of months ago, but then a call to T-Mobile tech support resulted in them giving me a new SIM card which resolved all of my problems. My previous SIM card was only 6 months old at the time, but tech support informed me of changes in how the new cards are programmed to take advantage of the new post merger configurations. Like I said, my service and connectivity is now the best it's ever been with the latest radio ruu.

I need your help!!! My bootloader was unlocked... and then i flash the t-mobile RUU!!! but i still have the problem ... what should i do ?!?! (
Does it say "Wi-Fi error" when you turn Wi-Fi on? I mean in the settings menu where it normally says "connected to..."
If it does you have a hardware issue.
There are two tricks to try.
1. Clean the little gold connectors on the back cover of your case. Those are the antenna connectors. Use a rubber eraser on a pencil. Get all the rubber shavings out before you reassemble.
2. There it's a tin foil trick that is a hardware mod. There a thread on it with pictures. The jist of it it's to put foil over the connectors to give it a bigger antenna. There are pros and cons of doing this. I did this for a while and didn't really see any results.
The Wi-Fi issues generally with earlier versions of viper amaze were from modules that didn't match the kernel. That has been resolved since before I added the aroma installer.
Also, one last thing. If you have two amazes ruining viper, they screw up the Wi-Fi. Going from sense 3.5 to sense 4.1 and up, there's something weird about how the phone gets its address, so if my dev device is on and Wi-Fi is on and my daily phone is on with Wi-Fi on, I don't get Wi-Fi on either.
Hope that helps!
