Shud be useable on Desire / N1 to switch S-OFF :-D
But it seems as if they are very, very close to deliver us the urgent expected Eng. SPL!
If we get this... does that mean we can get rid of the ugly HTC splash screen at the beginning of booting up? I'm praying so!
EDIT:
I don't even know how it happened, but I wrote my answer to A2SD corruption in this thread. Lol. Too many tabs in FireFox

Whats going on dudes i been in the heroc forum since launch and finally decided to let her go. I know im a tad bit late but I got my evo over xmas and just had some questions that I thought id ask before I even attempt to root; i have 30 days to return it. I done some searching and came across a few threads of common probs so im gaining some knowledge. What does this so called "light leakage" look like and what should I look for. I also saw something about some peoples phones not holding 4g; how long should It hold 4g before it drops? I did see some users mention hardware version; mine says 0004. Sorry if im asking to much i just dont want to get really settled in and start noticing problems and i have to take it back. So what should i really be looking for to make the call to take this sucker back before 30 days is up. Thanks in advance

I cannot answer any of your 4g questions because I do not have our where I live.
Light leakage issue is because the screen can separate from the body of the phone. Hard to explain what it looks like. Mine had it slightly but does not bother me.
Fyi...if you flash a aosp rom your camera will most likely not work. 4g and hdmi will not work either until cyanogen and teamdouche get it working. Should not be too long at all for 4g on cyanogenmod. A couple weeks or so I would GUESS.
Don't take your evo back. If you have anything else you have a question about feel free to pm me

Well I'm in love with the device already I think I somewhat understand light leakage as my hero might have suffered from this(if its the same thing). I live in Houston tx the 4g seems ok but mine dropped 1 or 2 times but that should be no biggie. Lastly, thanks for the warm welcome and help man.

Hey there and welcome. Definitely stay with the evo. It's off the chain. Make sure you find the proper way to root your hardware version. I've heard it can be a little tricky. After you root I suggest using Myn's Warm Rom. It's based off stock but has several goodies. Sprint hotspot is unlocked, it's fast and snappy. I use Myn with Calkulins new kernel. It gives you awesome battery life. If you need some assistance with anything don't hesitate to PM me. I'm more than willing to help. Hope you stay and enjoy the ride.

That's sounds awesome and exactly what I want to do. My main goal is just to get root access and keep rockin sense; I just want to be able to remove the bloatware really i.e sprint nascar, football etc and unlocking WiFi tether. Unfortunately my phone came with 2.2(651.1) so I can't root just yet I don't think but day #3 with my evo is freaking sweet.
Sent from my new EVO via Tapatalk app.
Mine came with 2.2 as well.that doesn't mean you can't root it.you can root all evo's. Like I said before it's going to matter what hardware you have. It really depends on your hboot version. Power off the phone then while holding down the volume button press and hold the power button till the screen comes on completely. Now at the top you can see your hboot version.search the forum on how to root your version. If you have trouble finding the correct way pm me with your hboot version as well a your hardware version. You can find that in settings under about phone.look for hardware info.then it will be a 4 digit# such as 0003.

I have the 2.10 hboot but I was waiting to root because I heard unrevoked might release a beta for my version 0004 with my hboot. Reason I haven't rooted yet is because I read its a pain in the butt to root with my hboot at the moment since I have the latest update as well.

don't root! giving yourself the opportunity to flash custom roms and install tweaks will have you constantly checking and scouring xda for more info and new roms,
can tell yourself you won't go to far but you will, prepare for constant playing with and updating/tweaking your Evo

Yeah I couldn't use auto root had to do it long way bummer huh. Azrael is still sense Rom and it comes with goodies and WiFi tether. I also just read that cyanogen got the camera working on hardware 0004 which is what my phone is and maybe yours. That means we can use cm6 or 7 and rock a vanilla rom.

i just go done talking to sprint.... my phone has a Display problem...i asked for a warranty replacement. I told them what happened and i didnt tell them it was rooted because of the obvious reasons.... as it turns out sprint can actually remotely go into your phone and know exactly what you are running.... They asked about myn and warm 2.2.... so i had to tell them... so just a heads up be careful who you talk to.... did anyone else know this?
Wow, I didnt know that but thanks for the H.U.
Luckily I have TEP so its not much of a problem but that would be something to look out for if your phone starts acting up
What happened?
Did they follow through with the Warranty or void it? I do IT work for a few sprint stores and was told that rooting the phone would void its warranty (hence why I ask). In the same breathe, none of them at the stores would know
Thanks for the info.

So what if you ruu back to factory settings? About 3 weeks ago I had to have a speaker replaced they didn't say anything about it but he actually asked me if I had ever thought about rooting I just played dumb. That's crazy though that they can see that remotely... actually no thats not that crazy.

Just run the ruu. If your phone is usb connected and the only issue is the display that won't prevent you from going back to stock. You can check usb connectivity in windows or by doing an adb devices if you have set up adb.

Just flash the 1.47 RUU then run S-ON. You'll be essentially downgrading low enough to where you can re-run Unrevoked with no problems whatsoever. Good luck.

Hold on, hold on...before we get all flared up, I don't think Sprint is actually logging on to our phones.
They are likely just getting Mod/Kernel version from About Phone menu option..just the way they can know about the PRL/PRI from their system (may be these are the traces that our phones leaves on the system).
If you guys are so worried, just go to build.prop and change the mod/build name.

sorry, not trying to be rude. But no sense asking what ifs, just because this seems to be news to everyone that Sprint can do this. So changing the build.prop might be a good start, if that doesnt work then I dont know. I don't develop these things. Maybe make some type of cached image that looks legit, so Sprint sees that instead of the actual figures. Or some type of block maybe
Or sue them

Well none of that should be going on, something else has got to be causing issues. The majority of Evo roms are very stable, in my experiences. What rom are you having trouble with?
To answer your question, the easiest way to unroot is to download and flash the unrevoked s on tool (only if you've ever used unrevoked forever, which most likely you have). That'll turn S on in the bootloader. After that, download an RUU from here on XDA, and run the RUU from your computer. That will flash you back to stock, unrooted.

Nothing you've described should be related to rooting, unless you've flashed something that isn't playing nicely. You are of course welcome to go back to stock, but maybe post what you've flashed and what you were hoping to accomplish by rooting. We may be able to give you some guidance.

Rooting your phone shouldn't have any affect on your phone that way unless you installed or horrid ROM. Check the modem you downloaded with your ROM, maybe you could use a better modem?
Why did you post two nearly identical threads? One would've been enough to obtain an answer.
But then again, so would the search button.

I would see root as a good thing and not bad
You can never put the phone back to exactly how it came from the factory however you could :
- install a ROM such as this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546970 and then re-lock the bootloader.
- choose an appropriate nandroid from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
- or find the correct RUU for your phone and install that.
personally i would embrace the rooted phone and try out some custom roms
Plenty of threads on how to install a rom and re-lock bootloader in here.

That has nothing whatsoever to do with being rooted.
Perhaps a custom ROM and/or kernel may improve battery life, but it has jack to do with it being rooted alone.
