How do I get Nand unlock ? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How can I get Nand unlock & what exactly does it do or authorize me to do ?
Rooted HTC Evo via UnrEVOked 3 using stock 2.2 Froyo Rom .
Will this let me remove stock apps ?
Will it wipe out my data ?

When you hit Volume Down and power and load into the bootloader (white screen, androids on skateboards on the bottom), does it say S-On or S-Off at the top?

Says s is on .
Is it unlocked ? If what's the best way to unlock it & how do I back up properly ?

Download unrevoked forever and flash that.

So you're not fully unlocked. Question, on the same screen what set of numbers appears after Hboot (because if you have a newer Hboot version your rooting process will be much more difficult)?

I'm gonna have to check that .
I rooted my phone with UnrEVOked 3 about 3 - 4weeks ago .
I will check it & post the numbers .
Thx again ;-)

Thats a good HBOOT. That is an ENG HBOOT. whatever you do, make sure you keep that. But, if you are S-ON, then you are not fully unlocked... even IF you are rooted. SO....
Install unrevoked FOREVER. Once you have that on there, you should be forever unlocked. There is Unrevoked, and there is Unrevoked Forever. The first one just gives you root once. The second one will unlock you forever. But you have to have root initially to do the second. Once you do the second, you can always re-root even when you lose root.
As for removals, the best app out there (IMO) is called System App Remover. But you need to be rooted first before you install and run it.

Will root via forever wipe out everything ?

And what's the best way to unlock it ? Do I need to use UnrEVOked forever or I can do it another way ? And again will it wipe out everything ?

If you go to unrevoked website and choose the evo and then go into unrevoked forever and look for the link to the unrevoked-forever zip in the installation instructions, second thing it tells you need. Download and put on sd. Flash by going into recovery and flashing from sd card.
It wont wipe anything. It just turns s-off and unlocks the phone fully.
If your not sure how to flash from recovery or dont have a recovery yet hit me up.

How can I remove stock apps

How to remove stock apps ?
rooted HTC Evo with UnrEVOked 3 using stock 2.2 Froyo Rom
I was told to try titanium backup app but that didn't work either
Root explorer also didn't do much .
Anyone know a way that really works ? I just can't stand those apps running in the background all day .
Sent From My HTC Evo 4G using XDA App.
Titanium Backup and Root Explorer should both work. If they arent, maybe you arent fully rooted. And FYI, the apps are not "running" in the background, just cached.
Good to know thx
So how do I turn fully rooted ?
Is this that Nand unlock ? That I keep reading in the forums ? I'm still new at this .
Thx for your help again

I need it to be on ? Or off ?
And if do what will I need to do to change it ?

The problem may be that the rom isn't rooted. I'm presuming that since you are "rooted" you have a custom recovery (clockworkmod/AmonRa). Try flashing a stock froyo rooted rom. I believe Sprint lovers will do the trick, though i've never flashed a stock rooted rom. it will give you root privileges sufficient enough to remove system apps
I'm using the stock Froyo 2.2 Rom

UnrEVOked Forever help needed

HTC Evo rooted via UnrEVOked 3
Using stock Rom Froyo 2.2
H-BOOT # 0.97.0000
radio # 2.15.00.09.01
Will using UnrEVOked forever to get Nand unlock wipe out everything ?
Is there a way not to loose data ? Or just a better way ?
I'm not so experienced with rooting ;-)

If you rooted with unrevoked 3 then there is no reason to run unrevoked forever. You are s-off I take it? If you are still s-on for some reason running unrevoked forever will not wipe your phone.
But will give me S-OFF ?

Yes, it will give you s-off.

my htc s710d stuck on htc logo

I can not know type of my htc s710d form china telecom
(is it incredible s or incredible 2)
flashed on it CWM and rom.zip ICS for incredible 2
now my phone still on htc logo
i try to flash it wit alot of ( .ruu flash file ) But it shows error (155)
and this some Picture from it
Vivow is the incredible 2. Shows you're unlocked, but still an s-on hboot. Did you use the revolutionary unlock method from these forums or htc's bootloader unlock?
If you can't get your phone to boot,I would suggest using revolutionary unlock method to remove the s-on status.

Since your s on I would say you used the HTC method. Try booting into recovery or in fast boot and wipe data

Preparing Phone for warranty - Removing custom rom /eng-off r-off etc

I Double checked with HTC ITALY and If I send my phone rooted etc then I will not pass through warranty.. soo I need to restore my DHD back to "stock" with root / radio / eng and all stuff back to original settings (and normal rom again).
From what I gathered my steps would be:
1. flash using the HTC program the original rom from their website
2. use visionary to reroot my phone?
3. One click Radio S-OFF tool to reverse that setting
But I'm kind of getting lost on the actual "steps" or sequence, and I'm worried I might brick my phone, could some one give me an updated guide, or just steps to do so I can do this correctly?
I'm sending it in because the home/menu buttons are broken (they lost all their touch sensibility, even under safe mode so its hw and not software).. ><
(i'm running s-off eng-off + Android Revolution HD 6.3.3 right now)
Thank you for your time.
Running the right RUU might do it.

After you solve this issue then do let me know .
Thanks

Just got my dhd from the warranty center yesterday.
I've had a eng s-off, root and unofficial rom (last - blackout ics).
Root and s-off have been obtained with a AAHK tool - so were obtaind and s-on + stock rom.

I have read some other posts who tried to run a ruu but apparently they still had unlocked bootloaders. Run an 1.72 ruu and use jkolo tool

Run the advanced ace hack kit. You'll get both stock rom and S-ON.

I've tried it.
I've sent my phone to the warranty center twice - using AAHK to get stock rom and s-on before it - no problem, the phone was repaired.
All u have to do is to read the instructions first, the process of getting stock & s-on is quite simple - u need to choose a ruu, then choose a CID (if u are going to get s-on) and also confirm u want to get s-on later. That's it.
