New Teamwin root

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

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.

Ever notice how the rage exploit was used on multiple phones.... unrevoked

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...

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...

"20:05 <@agrabren> We don't believe it will work on the EVO 4G."
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...

Uh... Each device has its own kernel. You can even have different kernels for the same device. Each with different hacks and features. Sorry don't have an evo. Just browsing recent posts/threads.

Unlocking tether on stock

I am going to root my friend's phone, but I don't really want to flash a custom rom. I'm sick of being people's personal tech support guy. His main interest is wireless tethering. Is there a way to unlock hotspot on the stock rom? Thanks

I'm not sure, but I would flash a rooted stock rom for him and then have him download the free wireless tether app from the Market.

The only one I like is "wireless tether for root users" and it doesn't work on the evo..

Yes, it does. I've used that app as my primary internet source when I lived in North Carolina last year ad earlier this year and I have an EVO 4G and was using it with the Wireless Tether app.

Sense. On AOSP, I cannot get it to work with Gingerbread. There is a workaround but I have never tried it.

Ok ill give it a go. Haven't tried it with sense. I used it on my hero for months running cm7 with no problems but no dice with the evo. I even contacted Mueller and downloaded the latest version from Google code..

I believe you need a kernal which allows WT, try Lithids HTC Evo 4G Freedom-v0.9 Kernel Universal. Download WT right from Google on your phone.

I spent an hour messing with the internet setting of my 2 PC's trying to get them to surf. Then desided to do a search and found this post.
Thank you!!

You actually don't need a custom kernel.....
The hotspot hack works natively once you hack framework.jar.
And the wireless tether app only requires superuser permissions to work.

[Q] I need a link to a Stock, Rooted, 2.3.3 Sense ROM

Preferably debloated, but I can remove the problem apps myself. I just need to go back to 2.3.3 and Sense 2.1.
Thanks ahead of time, I have been looking, but just haven't been able to find one.

The problem of the OTA trying to download and install under RMK's gingersense is easily fixed/prevented. Just freeze or rename com.smithmicro.dm. Worked for me.

Well then use true leftys, basically stock, and i never noticed any problems, I did the patch and firmware update, and it was there a week ago...

Just curious, but why do you need to go back to sense 2.1?
If you can live with 3.0, virtuous unity is a good option imo

Can anyone give me some inspiration into rooting my new shinny GN i have rooted every other devive ive had i.e G1 Nexus One SGS I9000 xperia Play and HTC hero,
But i cant find a good enough reason to do it with this device, but everyday i feel that i need to i dont know if im just because im used to having something new to flash everyday?

I feel the same way. The stock ICS seems to be a lot faster than the MCR's at the moment - not sure why.
The only reason to root is to get things such as Ad Free, Full Backups, Underclock CPU when screen off, Apply Paul's UI tweaks.
Obviously things will grow in the future. If you do it now, then you dont risk the chance of losing the ability to in the future (doubtful that will ever happen with a Nexus)

Here's a much better question OP... Any reason to not root it?

The big ones for me are AdFree and Titanium Backup.

I will only root if a kernel with ridiculous battery life surfaces. Otherwise this may be the first Android phone I really see no reason rooting. Strange thought.

AdFree is pretty silly IMO. Blocking connections using the host file? Really? I guess the creators don't know what a firewall is or how to use iptables.

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...
