[Q] root after sprint 3.7 ota?

Hello, I've searched this forum for around two days trying to find out if I can still help my friend re-root his evo... He was rooted running hardware #0003 and decided to unroot in order to return phone to sprint for the evo shift. after playing around with the shift at the store he said it's not worth giving up his evo.. now he wants to re-root his evo however sense he has been unrooted he accepted sprint's latest ota 3.70 and now for some reason we can't reroot his phone. we used unrevoked 3 to root it the first time. Is there a way to reroot his phone after accepting the new ota from sprint?? Any kind of advice would be of great help. Thank for any input that anyone can provide. btw, he never tried any new roms... he still has the stock rom.

I was able to root a new Evo with the 3.70 OTA update last week using unrevoked 3.32 without any problem at all.

Unrevoked will root 3.7 phone hw v1 2 3 or 4 and all hboots

unrevoked worked great for me too

This is great news guys I really appreciate the quick response...I almost forgot, one more question... does it matter if we rooted his phone on a 32 bit windows system and unrooted with a 64 bit windows system? Will it effect rerooting or prevent it? Just curious. Thanks all your help. Would like to donate not sure of how to do that either.

Um no that shouldn't matter. Valid question but the app shouldn't be affected by that.
Swyped from my Evo on steroids.

I rooted from a x64 Windows 7 box so I would sat no it does not matter.

That did it! Thanks a bunch Just so happens I was still trying to use unrevoked 3.2. I noticed on my own phone that I don't have any system/app files after I formatted my sdcard, I've looked all through my astrology file manager and still no luck. Any suggestions anyone? Thanks.

Hi guys, just a quick question. I seem to have deleted my system/app file when I formatted my SD card; is there any way to get it back or am I just S.O.L? I've searched for this issue on this forum but no clear info on what my options are at this point. Any advice on what my options are would be great. I appreciate it and thanks.

Your /system/app files aren't stored on the SD Card, they're inside the phone. Unless you're on A2SD.
How did you delete it at? Using a file browser on the phone itself or on your PC? How's the phone/apps behaving?

Is the device S-ON right now or S-OFF? If is S-OFF all you need to do is re-install recovery and super user app. I'm on my phone so I can't post the link for you but go to unrEVOked.com, select the EVO and then unrEVOked forever. Scroll down the page and you'll see a link for ClockworkMod recovery and the su app. Place the recovery file on the root of your SD card and boot into bootloader(volume down & power). The device will find the PC36IMG and you'll be able to update your recovery image to clockwork. Now that your set, flash the su app via recovery and your once again fully rooted.

First of all guys thanks for the help and quick response. It's good to know there's help when you need it. I have s-off and I'm rooted using unrevoked 3.2 can I do all these steps from my phone or only from my laptop?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I followed these steps and still no system/app files. btw, I formatted my SD card using my computer... I don't quite know how much a difference it would make but I remember using my computer. Any other suggestions?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I'm not sure what you mean. System/app directory isn't on the SD card so if your looking for it on your card you won't find it. As for the instructions I provided, yes these steps are done on your device. All newer versions of unrEVOked do the same thing as unrEVOked forever, Permanent S-OFF. There's really no reason why you'll ever need your pc again as long as you have the files for recovery and su app on your SD card.

I forgot to mention, after formatting your SD card the device will automatically re create the needed directories on the card. Some folders will pop back up instantly while others will appear once you've opened the app associated with the folder. An example would be the DCIM folder. It will only appear once you open the camera application.

Ok cool, l just remember seeing system and app and I don't remember how I got there... I know that sounds pretty stupid but that's what happened... so my concern is if I need to get back there, I want to know where to find it on my phone.. I really appreciat you taking time to try to help. So looks like I need to be looking somewhere on my phone in which I have no idea of where to start..sorry about that...I guess I need to keep researching and messing with my phone more. I really do appreciate all your help.. you guys are awesome.

It's located in the root directory. Another words, you shouldn't be looking in any folder/directory. Open your file explorer and instead of entering a directory such as SD card just locate system. Within system you'll see system/app. It looks like this
acct
app-cache
cache
config
data
dev
etc
mnt
proc
root
sbin
sdcard
sys
SYSTEM - app is located here

Cool! It worked thanks.

MicroSD Card Issues

Hi, I have a problem with my patriot signature microsd 32gb on my 16gb Samsung Galaxy SIII which I use as a music and picture storage for my music player and camera
The phone is rooted and is running stock ROM and kernel
The problem:
1)when transferring music files while the sd card is in the phone, using a usb and explorer method of copying and pushing sometimes the write protected warning pops up, other times the file would copy but I could not find it in my music player/gallery, other times the file is present for a period of time but after a restart of my phone the file disappears.
NOTE: However, files that I have transferred using the microsd adapter and directly through the computer does not change at all.
2)On the default camera I have set up the external sd card as the default location for pictures, but when I take a picture sometimes the warning that "sd card cannot be located and default storage is changed back into phone"
3)On Android Commander when I try to push music files it always ends up as permission denied
4)When I try to copy music through the windows explorer this message pops up "the device has either stopped working or is not responding"
What I attempted:
I thought it was a formatting problem and so I tried to format the sd card using both my phone and pc into the phone's desired FAT32 format,
but the problem persists.
I have also inserted the sd card into the adapter and put the write protected switch up thinking it was a permissions problem
Is it a faulty card? or am I doing something wrong?
Additional Note:
1)I have both ES file explorer and Root explorer and when I attempt to change the permission on my external sd card which usually appears in ES file explorer as "rwx-rwx-r(blank)x" it always fails
2)When opening the gallery and trying to view some of the photos saved in the external sd card, it would appears as unable to load and just a black screen.
3)I also export playlists from itunes in m3u format and puts it in a playlist folder in the sd card but it would never appear when I try to see it in a file explorer, although using poweramp I can import the list, but the old ones that I have placed on the card is also present unable to find them or delete them in either the phone or the pc
I have really became desperate trying to solve this problem
Please help me

Try reformatting as exFat. Also I don't think you can change the permissions on the entire sdcard.
It could also be that the phone connects using MTP. There's an app here on xda called sgs3 easy ums. It will mount the card as a UMS device. Try transferring that way.
I think the sgs3 was intended to use the exFat format though.

That's weird. If it doesn't pick up your card then the problem might be more serious than you think. But how can you see the contents and be able to format it yet utilities like Easus and SDFormatter can't see the drive? Did you try disconnecting all USB flash drives, your phone or other devices connected to your computer first? Check explorer and see to it that your card is the only one connected with a drive letter. Go to SDFormatter, hit refresh and make sure the drive letter is chosen.
SDFormatter just fixed the problem I was having.

You said you were rooted stock. Did you do any debloating or anything else to it. I doubt its the case but maybe something needed was accidentally removed.
Have you tried running fix permissions in recovery or TiB?
Also, how did you root? Was it recent and did the card function properly before? If you used odin to flash a rooted fw, maybe it was a bad download?
If all else fails, you could try reflashing the full stock fw with Odin.

1)I didn't do any debloating for my phone, and how do you run fix permissions in recovery? or TiB?
2)I root my phone by following this guide "How to Root U.S. and Canada Galaxy S3 SGH-T999/SGH-I747/SPH-L710! [Fail-Proof][Noob-Proof][U.S. Cellular]" using odin
3)So by reflashing the full stock fw do you mean I need to factory reset? or Is it possible to download the stock fw somewhere?
Sorry I am new to android, so please bear with me

Sorry, coulda sworn you could run fix permissions in Titanium....
You should be able to do this in cwm or twrp recovery. May be in the advanced menu. You can install the recovery from Rom or Goo Manager app.
Factory reset wipes all user data taking you back to an out of the box state.
You can get a pre rooted version of the FW from here.

This is the original LE6 version though, if you want the updated LH2 version give me a few min to get the link for you.

Could always just be a problem elwith the card itself

I had a patriot 16gb class 10.. when it works.. it's awesome should be called class 15 or something lol. However there were three times it randomly corrupts.. lost all my pictures and crap. A format usually fixes it. After the second time... i learned to put my photos to default internal memory. The third time i was no longer able to format it... couldn't move files in or out but i can open them?! I went with the high amount of 5 star reviews but should've listened to them 1-2 star reviews. They don't do well with phones. And your problem is a problem that occurred to me every now and then. Remember to back up your card frequently before it crashes!

ah, problem
so I tried followed the link and the steps to flash the fw
but I am encountering this problem of when odin is done and the phone is restarting the "process android.process.acore has stopped" along with touchwiz and poweramp.
I reflashed twice and the problem remains
I even cleared dalvik cache and regular cache and fixed permissions with cwm and rebooted but it still did not fix the problem
Do I have to factory reset now?
:crying:

I can't remember which app it is or if this is the one requiring factory reset. Can you boot and get to settings > app manager? If so clear data on google services framework. Maube also touchwiz home. (Can't remember for sure)
You could also try using the built in file manager in twrp. Go to /data/data and look for those folders and delete them. May not work but worth a try.

ya thanks for the advice but it didn't work
From what I can tell the only solution now is to do a factory reset
anyways so why did the fw not work for me?
i even made sure i downloaded the correct wind one
at least now maybe with the factory fw i can make sure the external sd card works?

so factory reset is done
external sd card still does not want to work via "my file" folder creation
I don't know is it broken? I would like to try another sd card but I need to find one
although I did test it with h2testw and no error message popped up.
It wrote and verified fine.

Sometimes left over data can cause problems with a newly flashed system. Odin didn't wipe your apps or data and something was left behind that conflicted with setup or something like that. Sorry it came down to that man.
Ive heard a few times over the past couple years of sdcards working fine in one device but not at all in another. It seems rare and I'm not sure why it happens, but it can.
Only way to know for sure is to borrow a known good sdcard and try it. If it also doesn't work then its most likely a problem with the phone. If it works then you probably need to replace the card. Maybe take it to the store where you got it and let them try. That way if it doesn't work you have a witness that can note your account of the issue.

What are you currently running? If just rooted, back up what you need and take it in - they should still try to repair.
Most stock components you need to flash - kernel, ROM and recovery - are available anyhow via ZIP file. Just transfer using SD card.

I appreciate the help guys. I will try a wifi sharing app. I am running SlimROM and my external SD took a dump about a week ago.

Run to Walmart and grab a new SD card. You only need a 2 GB to transfer new stuff. Unless the reader itself on the phone started to fail... Then you are S.O.L. on that and I wish the best of luck. Can you get into recovery still and try to side load anything? Or even Download mode with ODIN?

Mobile odin?

Accidentally wiped phone with recovery file under emulated SD card instead of actual

Oh boy, i did it now.
I made a backup of my sms and mms messages that i really need to recovery. My problem was that i was paying attention to which sd card it was on....i thought i had selected the actual SD card, but it turns out i was using the phone's internal SD.
I performed a factory reset and applied a much smaller rom, going from stock touchwiz 4.2.x to the 4.4.2 Google Play edition of KitKat. I feel that the file is still recoverable as the data area hasn't been overwritten, and it is very very important for me to get the messages back.
I have tried to install an app that enabled USB Mass Storage to let me use standard windows recovery methods to try to pull out the file, but i can't get it to be seen properly. I come to you guys for any assist:
Is there a way, through the ADB or otherwise, to recover a section of file and attempt to carve out the proper file from it? it was just a single zip file created, about 20-30mb in size.
thank you in advance!
