CM recovery update? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know there is nothing wrong with the current version so please do not flame me to hell and back. I notice there is a 3.1 and some devices are even on 4.0. Any reason were not getting updates? I noticed there was a huge gap between 3.0 and 3.0.2.4 and other devices got incremental updates in between while people on the forum had to mod a recovery just for us to get it to charge off and have the screen stay off. Just curious if our phone is hard to program for, or is it not needed, or were just not a priority? Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I see they got it to boot on their Desires and are freakin out, rightfully so. I wonder if the G2s will get a port..if I knew anything about deving I would be over this like flies on sh*t, but alas..I know nothing..
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Thanks for the link. And I bet our devs would love to get it going. I've looked around and the vision seems to be one of the more buzzing forums in terms of development. And I agree, if I could then I would most definitely port it as well. It'll get working on our visions, considering our hardware is more accelterated and powerful than the desire. I know ill be getting the Sensation asap, but the G2 is a great phone and great for flashing roms, etc.

The original Desire got it booting? I know the DHD guys got it booting (without a touchscreen though).
If none of our devs take this up, which I doubt, I'll try port the DHD port of the Sensation. Which I'll fail.
Meh.
Dammit, it was the DHD guys :-(

I completely agree. If my old G1 could run windows98, Sense, and even 2.3 without much trouble then the G2 should have NO problem I would think.
Yeah I agree. I think that they just say that to completely knock out any questions people would ask. But we'll see of course.

Whats so special about this 3rd version?

New Teamwin root

So anyone have any info on whether this root method for the 3D will work on the 4G?

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Considering the Evo and the Evo3d are two completely different phones, I highly doubt that would work for ours
From what I have read it is a gingerbread kernel exploit... which may work.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Ever notice how the rage exploit was used on multiple phones.... unrevoked
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Seriously, I know that I'm anxious, but correct me if I'm wrong... Any general exploit, OS or application such as Adobe, can be used to gain root on any system running it. Since we already have eng hboot and recovery for the evo this may be what we have been waiting for.
I don't know a ton about kernels, but I don't think every phone has a different one...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
If I was forced to guess - I'd say yes.
They're both coming with the same bootloader, and they're both coming from the GB update. The only real difference between a 3D and a 4G is the kickup in hardware specs. Otherwise, they're the same thing for all intents and purposes.
I kind of always suspected that those GB OTA updated 4Gs would be "saved" once someone came out with a 3D exploit/root.
Getting root is only half the battle. The locked bootloader needs to be fixed, as well. Can't do much with root if you can't mess with recovery at all. At best, it gets you Wireless Tether and root-needed apps back - but nothing in terms of flashing any roms or the like.
Thanks. When did HTC start locking the bootloader?
This may help clear up the confusion regarding root and s-off...

so it doesn't look like their exploit works with the 4G
I sure hope so......Not only do I have a 3D, but my wife's Evo bricked itself while charging last night. I'm quite sure that the refurb I'm supposed to be getting will have the GB update already on it when I get it. :{

Dammit!!!! Well, at the very least we know there are still weaknesses in HTC's armor.
I just got my replacement a week ago, brand new evo, after my phone fell out of my pocket on the freeway while on my bike, and it came with GB on it, I tried swapping the logic boards on the phones but no go, it was fractured.
Any word on "progress" <---(PROGRESS NOT ETA; hents, 'going good', 'not even trying', 'hit a brick wall', or 'too busy playing with myself') with the new B.S. hboot 2.16.S*thware? Searched and came up with nothing, and been searching religiously everyday and no sign of anyone saying anything. Is every Dev working the 3d over like a $2 hooker and forgetting phones break and have to be replaced?
I am waiting also, my speaker is blown on my 003 hardware EVO, and I'm not going to subject myself to flash withdraws until the new one gets rooted

I just ran fre3vo on my EVO 4G and it said...

This device is unsupported by this exploit.

Trust me...it is that good. Its stable and VERY speedy. I never had a sinlge issue with it. If it used the newer kernels id be on it still. It had this thing where you could download different boot animations fonts and everything, the servers have went down and the rom has become like the villainrom. I haven't even tried villainrom. I think the dev was in a flood or major thing happened and he has been rebuilding his life. Hopefully he comes back, I found out about it late.

Lol this keeps getting asked. Its a rom that's different. I'm not a developer so I truly can't tell you. I think its based off cm7. Its very speedy and what made it great was the ability to change boot animations, fonts, themes and all kinds of stuff on the fly. They were built in I should say. It was always stable for me and if it ran the new kernel id be on it for sure. You can't download that stuff anymore because his servers are down. He was in a natural disaster so I think thays why. I hope that helped. If not I know you can google the rom and see reviews and stuff.

Definitely abandoned. I'm calling bull$hit on the whole natural disaster thing. The whole project went under a lot of heat and then it suddenly all stopped. I don't see it coming back, but I'd love to try it if it did. I don't want to use an outdated ROM though, because there is no support or future hope for it.
Great rom thank you

I think HTC thinks Sense (2.1/3.0/3.5) won't run on the DInc. I also thought that Sense 3.5 was supposed to be the version that didn't require the hardware requirements that 3.0 required, so I would think that would've been the version they could've used instead of 1.0... At this point, I don't think HTC will release any more updates for this phone.
Sad really, cause it's a work-horse.

I think it was more along the lines of this was going to be the last official update so they were not going tto take the time to build 2.1 sense on a device they no longer support. They just wanted to update the base and interlace sense 1.0 and push it out. They did the same with the EVO.

What i don't get is why they didn't just convert the incredible 2 sense to the incredible 1 with them being so close in specs. HTC should know what there devices can run but there holding the incredible back way to much. Then again we have awesome devs that keep supporting a great phone.

HTC and most manufacturers out there seem clueless. I mean imagine a world where the UOT Kitchen wasn't something developers had to come up with over months of dissecting the phone, but rather a software program that came with your Incredible that allowed you to plug your phone into your computer and make simple color changes and things to personalize your phone.
It's sad really because HTC is so great in some ways - they did afterall, put out the Dinc to begin with. But they do tend to move on to new phones fast...
Thank God for XDA developers!

Agreed. Especially with the way Sense 4 runs already. Nitsuj has done awesome work bringing Viper over to us but he's even said before (heavy paraphrasing ahead) that phones made for Sense 4 slaughter the Inc 2 in comparison. Without any kind of ICS kernel it doesn't look good, as much as it would be super cool to try.
Oh okay then I see now that it will never happen. And well now I got in the meantime until I upgrade, the go launcher and the theme of sense 5.
