Still trying to figure this out.... - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been back and forth between roms this past week...I have finally settled on Myn's for today at least...I am wanting to get rid of the carrier name on the lock screen. I have tried the QDSP as well as the HEX method and don't really want to mess with CDMA workshop.
I can create and save a new file in the HEX method but it will not paste into the framewokr/res/layout-hdpi-v4 folder for some reason, any ideas on how I can get this done?

On a sense based rom like Myn's, unfortunately, the easiest way I've found is using the CDMA workshop. Any of the other methods floating around the forums never seemed to work for me.

I think the only method that's confirmed to work is the cdma workshop, if I'm wrong someone please correct me.

Guess I will roll up my sleeves and see if I can figure out which poort my phone is on with Windows 7 64 bit....
I did it....my antivirus software was blocking CDMA so I had to turn it off....got it done though.

Just for future reference, its alot easier on AOSP roms like Cyanogen. I just mention it bc your initial post said your on Myn's for today anyways. Myn's is my favorite sense rom, but I've been jumping back and forth between MIUI and Cyanogen for aosp as of late. Just edit the eri.xml file and drop it into the /data/ folder on your phone.

LOL....yeah my wife is about ready to do bodily harm, I have become a little obsessed with switching roms now that I am rooted. I try to explain to her it is like a new toy.
I may have to recheck out CM7...had it installed at one point.

This sounds all too familiar

"Why do you have a phone if it's just going to be off all the time," is what I get.

I have no way of getting onto it, could you post any updates you find important? that would be great.
Like I said in another thread: "So from what I'm understanding is the new way to root the droid 2 is the same exploit that works for the evo and will work.
Here's the thread for the droid 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764950
So from what I understand is if you follow those instructions it should work."
Hopefully I can try this out tomorrow
i was able to get to the # prompt.... but am stuck there. i am unable to cp files... cp is not found. any ideas?
Excellent news!!!!
that gives you root access, but its not nand unlock so you cant access /system (from what i gather from IRC)
after the # the steps are completely different. at this point you have to mod some stuff and RUU to 2.1 and then root that the old fashion way, then flash a new 2.2 rom back on.
... the devs in IRC are getting kinda antsy when people keep bugging them lol. they're telling us noobs to just wait until a full guide/automated program is made.

so they wont allow users who opt out of a data plan and or dont have wifi to update?
RUUs are leaked and shouldn't normally be open to the public. If they were they'd be on HTCs website (like with their WinMo RUUs)
Guess you cant always trust a telus rep, they told me that the update would be downbloadable from a pc if i didnt have internet access for my desire. (ive been prodding tech support for 2 weeks now trying to get info on when the update is)
I don't see the point in posting the ROM. What would be needed in it that we don't already have or use? Plus if I wanted to do the update that would mean downgrading back to 2.1 and then upgrading.

He said he is interested in some config files, no idea what for. Can you even post just a rom from your phone? Wouldn't you need to extract it from the RUU?
The RUU would be nice though, I'd like to know what radio Telus think we should be running. Obviously it would also be good to flash the phone in a way that masks the modifications made if we need to return it.

Yeah. Good point.
Got bored, poked around. I have a feeling telus will offer the RUU on HTC.com just like other desire providers.

no. they pulled it at around 11am this morning. if you go back to the site, it is back to saying "will be updated in October"

I got mine downloaded and installed yesterday. All is running smooth
I am on Fido and I got an update notification on my HTC Desire (I had 3G on, and Wifi off). I'm downloading the update (OTA_Bravo_Froyo_TELUS_WWE_2.25.661.2-1.29.661.1_R_release_Pf7sjzjrgcmpsve12.zip) as I'm typing this...it's a 90.5MB download...so I switched to Wifi before proceeding with download.
I'll update later how it goes.

That's an aosp lockscreen. I believe they have those all over in themes and apps
A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on the IPhone. We now have the Htc Evo.
can you explain what an aosp lockscreen is and possibly where i can get it

AOSP = Android Open Source Project; basically orignial stock android look. I.E Cyangonmod rom [for example.]
Easiest way to get one, is to install an aosp rom [again cyanogen for example.] and it comes with it; there's also have some mods, such as rotart and lense [lense is a drag down bar].
Roms can be found in the development section.
Or if you want a sense rom, check with the developer, they may have a mod for it.

It is the stock Android lockscreen (assuming you ar talking about the horizontal sliders). The easiest way to get it if you're on a sense ROM is to use Titanium Backup to delete htclockscreen.apk. Do that, and then reboot and you'll have the stock AOSP lockscreen. Be sure to back it up before you delete it though, just in case you want it back.

search the evo theme section for "aosp lockscreen" there is a flashable zip in there.
Actually, nice try but still a bit off. The lockscreen you're seeing on there is an app call widgetlocker. You can get it from the market. It allows for multiple sliders and also widgets to be placed on the lockscreen as that clearly shows (i.e. the weather forecast...AOSP does not have any weather option as of now).

You need to buy widget locker from the market, or google the widget locker apk.

If it's a custom Rom it's already rooted (obviously). Check the build version in your settings.

yeah i can't get into TWRP, or the other one. it keeps giving me dude with red !. version is jz054k.
I did a full wipe and install of an origonal build of the software, was able to root it sucesfully now. but still can't get into the bootloader menu. tried cammand line to tell it to boot into it, tried rom manager. no dice. just keep getting little dude. i remember seeing a thread about him, i don't know what he means :\
The bootloader on these phones are locked. You are able to install the custom recovery only because Freegee can bypass the bootloader.

yeah i got around it and managed to do it. didnt much like the rom, know any clean roms that are more stock like? i really didnt mind stock. but i want 4.4 or better than stock.
Honestly, your best option is to wait for the kitkat update to hit in a month or so. You get what you're looking for in one stock update. Hassle free. That's what I'm doing. The more I learn about this phone, the more I am hesitant to flash anything to it. Mostly because there are so many variants for this phone. Everything can't be compatible so why risk it.

Read the whole thing then you'll be ready to go
Its the kitkat Korean update, I'm using it on my e980 , pretty sweet
yeah i agree, i havn't found many rom's i like. ive found roms always fail after awhile. so idk. they always bloat up and start to fail than they need the update to be stable blah blah than your reinstalling all apps and backing **** up. idk, was just looking at what phones offer these days for modding but nothing seems to of changed. this phone inparticular is a rather unstable device none stock, seems to be allota issues and a good reason to have bootloader locked.
Un locking the bootloader only allows for custom kernels on any given device. In some cases you will get greater stability. But for the most part you will still have glitches, performance decreases, etc. because you are STILL flashing custom Roms. And in allot of cases your phone will go completely nuts because custom kernels have their glitches too. So in short, sometimes, Custom Rom=glitches. custom kernel=glitches. That all adds up to a totally unstable Rom. Keep in mind all devices are not the same. What runs great on his might crash your phone completely. Just my 2 cents....lol

Just received the warranty replacment for Tmo Note 3

Ok i'll keep this simple. I just got the tmobile note 3 replacement. And now I want to transfer everything over.
But first please point me with links and directions to how to do this quickest easiest and fool proof.
I'm not sure what firmware this replacement will have if its the latest NF1 when i boot i up with tmobile
Tell me there is a simple way to give it root and more importantly change the recovery to TWRP latest version.
I'm hoping there is a 1 step solution/windows app that will do all that. I just need tha done. THen I will just swap the microsd into the replacement and load the entire image stored on the card to the new phone. Is it really that simple? please let me know what I'm missing.
Don't tell me the NF1 carrier upgraded devices can't be unlocked. please i have no idea how to do this, don't just point me into the right threads, I have a disability of sifting thru info i am legally disabled. Pleaes help me make this transition as easy as possible.
My deepest thanks.
Hpe to hear from as many knowledgable feedback soon for me to get this done so i can send the defective back to tmobile.

Do you mind me asking what is wrong with your phone?
You can always Odin back the replacement phone to ne6 and make sure you do the bootloader too, and then use towelroot to reroot. Then just use titanium backup to back up your stuff from your old phone (assuming you already have root) then restore on the new phone.

Is it normal for everything to be NF except the baseband is still stuck at the old one. Is this normal? Is there a 900T NF1 bootloader? I heard nf1 HAS A NEW bootloader, but i can't flash it up to it. I've attached a screetshot.
Also, I CANT TETHER FOR FREE NO MORE! On my old note 3 with any ROM that doesn't do the tmobile tether turn on check, I can use tether unlimited by connecting to a proxy on my computer, but now for osme reason, it always redirects me to an upsell page just like on tmobile's official ROMs is there a new way around it? When I connect to the note 3 AP on my computer it automatically says theres "limited connectivity" please help, I want it the way of how it was on my note 3, does it have to do with the new radio? or is it something else? thanks.
