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?

Well not so much broken as it was defective, had the phone vibration and haptic feedback turned on but it would never vibrate so I tried doing a factory reset and it didn't help. Took it in and sprint thought that a reset would do the trick but it didn't work. Either way I'm glad my phone wasn't working properly cuz now I have one with hboot 1.12

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???

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.

i havent been able to get it fully set up since I got this damn phone...first it was stuck on activating account...now its sayind my device isnt supported..wtf!! any help???
I am pretty sure what I have read they are trying to get something fixed before they activate it for our phone which is a bummer.
Yes it is. They claim to be working on a fix for it but it has taken them how long so far? I personally think they have just given up on our phone.
There are fixes, but I have still not been able to use it. At McDonalds last night it was stuck on Authorizing Transactions and today at walgreens it would never open the wallet app when I touched it to the terminal.
Works fine for me.
I called and they told me that it was a problem that they are working on but no ETA on the fix... Also it tells me that rooted devices are not supported which I think is BS

Not BS, a rooted device could pose a threat to the secure element of the NFC chip and could potentially exploit card data from it. Remember modders are not majority users, and storing credit card info is a big risk for Google to take.
Now it'll still work with root, but you are taking a risk that something could potentially go wrong.

I thought the same thing until I noticed that everywhere I shop except the grocery store has NFC compatible credit card machines, so google wallet would come on very handy if it ever worked. I find myself forgetting my wallet at home more than my phone, so for me this would be a great tool.

It comes up where the "your device is not supported for your carrier/country" is. At least mine did.
I actually had to install the gw update before it said secure element not responding.
If I were u and had a perfectly functioning phone I would not root it until the gw is up again. Live to flash roms on my og EVO, but this phone is so awesome without it for now I'm happy w it.

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

I've tried every single thing I can, so has sprint. My downloads on my galaxy nexus are 1.65mbs while my evo is 10kbs. Its frustrating. Sprint tells me that all Evo LTE run in 1xrtt BUT their display model AND an employees phone both run on erphd (or whatever). All 3 of ours side by side and mine is stuck on 1x. I've got a replacement coming after arguing for 2 hours over how my phone is buggy as hell, sometimes the back key doesn't even register. If my replacement is buggy should I have them replace it too? Oh yea, the lady that took my phone apart put it glass down on a table and scratched the screen to hell. I'm pissed that they told me my phone and 10kbs was normal when every single sprint phone I use in the exact same area is pulling 1.5mbs. Any advice? Lol

That's the thread I used to begin with. Nothing works. Settings-about-network still shows 1xrtt. My replacement will be here tomorrow but I'm afraid it'll have even more bugs than this one. I'm a bit of a gamer and in my opinion this beat out the s3 but fell slightly short of the optimus g so this is my phone of choice but I need my 3g. If it has bugs tomorrow should I deal with it or make them replace it again?
