I have an evo 4g, and I am tired of the stock theme. I wanted to know if the bliss theme found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852021 was compatible with the EVO 4g?
If it is would someone be able to walk me through the installation. I am confused as hell!
you can send me a private message, respond here, or email me? Hell you can even call me. I really really want this theme

think your link to thread is wrong...double check it

I may be wrong but, I'm pretty sure you have to be rooted and running a deodexd rom to flash a theme.

You will need to be rooted and also you will need to flash cm7 for that theme to work.

New evo owner, want one click root and a good kernel.

This is like my 10th android phone however with trying to root this i noticed some techniques have a built in image file or whatever that won't let you install roms? I want to be able to install roms, is there a good one click root option for me? Also what would be the best kernel?

why do you actually have 60 posts? Were the other 59 in the development section as well?

lets not bicker about posts, and just get along.. simple question, quick answer......

1. Unrevoked
2. No one can tell you what will be a good kernel for your phone
3. Wrong section

They're all good kernels. Some just work better with some phones. It really depends on the phone.

I found its trial and error with different roms also like three previous poster stated depends on phone. Kernels are easy to flash. Just give em a couple days to settle in. its like getting a new puppy. At first it may not look like its going to work out. After a couple days and conditioning things are better lol.

Well you'll need to run unrevoked again because z4root only gives you temporary root, and goes away once the phone is rebooted, meaning you'll have to run it again.

Not trying to scare you, just saying from what I heard, you lose root after rebooting after z4root, unless the unrevoked did work. But if its all good, no need to go messing with it.

ok if you just got the phone you probably have the newest hboot. I got my phone in december and i had the newest one at the time. (i dont know if its been updated). i wasnt able to use unrevoked, but maybe that has changed since. If you cant use unrevoked, then there should be a sticky on one of the categories, ( i think android development) that will tell you how to root your phone using SDK, abd, and your PC ( thats the way i did it).
As for kernels, like everyone has been saying, it really depends on how the device accepts the kernel, but I am currently using netarchy toastmod 4.3.1 cfs no havs sbc more universal. I would try using the netarchy toastmods, they seem to treat me the best. Download a few and then give them a try. For hardware version 004, dont use BFS... they will cause reboots constantly...
Enjoy your new phone and welcome to the family.

Just plug your phone into your PC and launch the program. The program does all the work until your phone is rooted and nand unlocked. After it's rooted, you can install custom kernel, ROM's, radio's, etc.

[ROM]Stock 2.2.1 MT4G with ROOT [LINK UPDATED 3-6-2012]v.3

THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER SUPPORT OF THIS OTHER THAN IF THE LINK GOES DOWN OR THERE IS SOMETHING DRASTICALLY WRONG WITH IT, BUT SINCE IT IS COMPLETELY STOCK AND NO COMPLAINTS HAVE COME, IT IS DONE... TY FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
First i would like to thank football for posting the Stock ROM this is based off of!!!
This is nothing but the Stock 2.2.1 MyTouch4G MySense ROM with ROOT and slightly debloated!!!
The only reason i did this is as a request by a person on the site and i, on occasion like to go back to stock while retaining root.
Warning!!! I Am Not Responsible For Anything That Happens To Your Device!!!
I repeat, this is nothing but the stock rom that came shipped with your phone, but has root permissions added, no tweaks, mods, nothing added and SLIGHTLY DEBLOATED!!!
I have only tried this on the newest recovery, 3.0.2.4, and with that said, dont try this on any other recovery!!! JUST SAYIN!!!
Flashing Instructions
- Download the ROM and put it on the root (main folder) of your SD card not in a folder that you have to hunt down
- Boot into recovery
- Wipe data/factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
- Wipe dalvik cache (under advanced)
- Format system (under Mounts and Storage)
***Optional, but i do it every time, just cause it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside*** Format /sdcard, then of course you have to mountUSB storage and copy the .zip over to your phone
- Install from zip / choose zip from SD card / flash it!!
- Let it finish booting .. it will take you to the setup wizard screen .. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING! Wait 2 - 5 minutes and then hold down the power button and reboot.
<< do not turn on wi-fi until it says so in a couple of steps >>
- Once it boots up again, it will bring you back to the setup wizard. DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING again!! Wait another 2 - 5 minutes .. then log in to Google
- You may now turn on WIFI
HAPPY FLASHING
HOW TO REPORT A PROBLEM TO ME
IF YOU DONT REPORT THE PROBLEM IN THIS FORMAT THEN I WILL IGNORE YOUR POST DUE TO THE FACT THAT YOU CANT EVEN FOLLOW THESE SIMPLE INSTRUCTION​
Recovery image:
Bootloader:
ROM before flashing:
KERNEL before flashing:
Did you flasch it through CWM or Recovery?
EXACT steps taken to flash(to the T)
OPTIONAL, BUT I RECOMMEND IT​A LOGCAT linked to PASTEBIN if you have adb set up, it will tell me EVERYTHING I need to know
I dont see why I have to outline a format for the info I need, but there it is!!!
Downloads and Change Logs any changes will be minor and posted directly after the download link
Stock 2.2.1 MyTouch4G w/ROOT Permissions v.DEBLOATED just what the link says, Its DeBloated a bit!!! the list of things removed is in this post HERE

Thank you for this .. I was really surprised that no one had done just a stock rom. It works great.
But ... The first thing I usually check after I install a rom is go to terminal and type "free" to see if it gives me the free memory .. Unfortunately this does not .. It gives error messages.
This is the same thing that happend to me when I first rooted the phone and something went wrong ...re rooted it and works now.
With that said ... Is there something wrong with this rom in the way it has root? Or is there something more to do for this like gfree method ..
Thanks for this and helping

all i did to root this rom was throw it in the dsixda kitchen that i got from xda and grant root permissions and zipalign it, nothing more... that being said, there are 3 options on how to give it root permissions, and i will further investigate this and get back to you with an answer. let me flash it again and try exactly what you did, provided you can give me a little info about your phone

[Q] Will 2.3.4 OTA break S-Off?

After searching the forum and reading many posts, it still is not clear to me if the 2.3.4 OTA (I'm being prompted for 4.06) will break S-Off.
When I rooted my Incredible using Unrevoked3, the custom recovery wasn't out yet or otherwise wasn't included. I believe that I am still running stock recovery (haven't flashed any ROMs).
If I do this update will I lose S-Off or lose root?
I know this topic seems redundant, but I haven't read a clear answer.
Thanks.

I'm wondering the same thing.

What if your phone is only rooted? If you update will you lose root? I don't actually own a dinc but my friends wife keeps asking me if she should update and if she will lose root if she does. Also if she has to reroot after the update do you know of any issues doing so?
I'm having enough issues trying to get everything working with rooting my htc vivid

Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium

If the OTA actually can be accepted with your custom recovery (debatable), you would lose root IMO. I think what Stang means is that if you're s-off, you can reflash clockwork and superuser, and reaquire root easily. So it doesn't break your ability to root again.

seems like another htc gotcha! so if your not rooted before the ota, and you updated, no root/unlocking for now i think is the consensus.

if you had been reading up on rooting and really doing your research then you should have learned that you never accept an update right when it comes out because you lose the ability to root until a fix is found (and it often takes some time).

just tried htcdev method to unlock phone. phone now shows unlocked. success with booting twrp recovery, will try to flash rom utilizing same method as EVO 3D users with HBOOT 1.50, should be the same. will update.
Edit: Okay, just booted up SWAG ROM. Unlocked using HTCDEV method. Pushed the kernel via adb fastboot, boot.img from the unzipped ROM folder. Then flashed the zip which was on the root of the SD card, just as described in the EVO 3D development forums, using twrp1.1.1.

Thanks for this, you should set up a guide to help others through the process.

and speaking of revolutionary, lets focus on something more universal like an apk rooting method
thank you church.

Awesome work man. Thankyou for that.

Here's what I came up with. Still may do a video. Hope it makes sense, it was very early/late when I wrote this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458491

Slightly off this topic, but along the same lines, so I didn't want to start another thread.
I rooted back in November, prior to the latest OTA update - and had a pretty good understanding of what I was doing - I think.. heh
I NEVER flashed a new ROM, Kernel, Radio, etc. Only backedup, rooted, removed some bloatware, and that's it.
I still have superuser su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip (I think?) in my root folder of my SD Card. Nothing else.
I backed up my Nandroid to my computer, as well as all the TitaniumPro backups of bloatware.
I saw Brad560's two posts - both Barebones and Stock ROM's.
In the Stock post, he listed Deodex'ed, Odexed, and Original UnRooted ROM. This confused me, as I'm still trying to wrap my head around the flashing part. Then I saw a reply about Radios?
I think at this point, I definitely want to remain rooted, but would like the "official" release from HTC/Sprint (in root form, stable, as close to the original as possible, for now).
Which ROM should I grab?
Will I need to flash a new kernel? I don't have any desire to overclock or anything.
And will I need to update the Radios separately?
Thanks, sincerely appreciate any help.

Just read in brads thread and all your answers will be there.

I had to go to htc update 3 x first was a security patch, phone rebooted, then back to htc update little larger file this time, phone rebooted, went back to htc update and finally got the 35mb 2.3.5 update, phone rebooted. I have new hboot now to as well. If my usb port dont work at all is there a way to root just from the sd card and is it even possible?

Thanks for replying.
I have read it. That's the first time I had heard of those things, which is why I asked here.
I think some folks forget what's it like to learn this stuff.. and while many here have been around for awhile and have absorbed over time, there are people like me (a military pilot btw lol) who has a tough time grasping some of the verbiage. I had the rooting thing down. Flashing a ROM seemed easy enough, though hadn't done it. Then someone throws up 3 versions in that post and 2 in the other. I get his barebones stuff - for the most part - he stripped stuff out.
Anyway, I suppose I will take the plunge and pick one of the ROMs, then suppose flash the latest radios.
Thanks!

For the time being, only way to "root"/unlock is via HTCDEV method which requires you be connected to your computer via USB sync cable.
