I think my problem is that i dont have the drivers for the phone because i tried using super one click and that doom lord app. I was trying to do it manually but the instructions i tried to use had bad links (image that!) OH! its for sprint its running on 2.3.3 at this moment im running the ginger break app witch i know wont work but because i kinda ran out of options SO COULD SOME ONE HELP ME! and please if you send me a link to another fourm please make sure it works the instructions are clear and the links work (my biggest pet peave is when a link doesn't work and your screwed because you don't know were else to get the whatever it is! THANKS!!!!!

OK!

Like it might be for noobs but like i need working links to this so called driver i need like just last night i foud an amazing torral on how to root a evo v i bring that up because thats what im asking for lol because im giving up (lol mabey just because its 4:08am but lol PLEASE HELP!)

If you haven't noticed the dozens of threads that have described this, you can root with the update installed. Apparently, this is the simplest way to root your Evo:

Also, there's a Q&A board for the next time you have a question like this.

[q] im new********* how can i install a theme!!!????**************______

How can i install a theme anyone? Plz?
Step 1a: search, maybe read a sticky or the OP from any theme thread.
1b: root phone
2: flash custom rom/deodexed stock Rom
3: flash the the the same way.

You are in bootloops. Not a big deal. Try wiping cache and dalvik and rebooting. If that doesn't work then re flash the rom.

Okay here's what you do:
Go to the android development forum and find the thread labled radio updates. I would search for you but I'm too lazy.
Download the latest radio update from Calkulin and flash via recovery.
About halfway through the process of the radio update being applied, pull the battery from your phone.
That should do the trick...you wont have to come on here asking anymore questions either.
Flash your theme the same way. Except don't pull the battery.

Your post has been reported to the mods. Real nice way to help someone instantly brick their phone. You post has seriously baffled me. ***** move.
You guys sure must forget what its like to be new to XDA. Yes, the OP should do some more reading, searching, and also be a little more clear when asking something. But, honestly if when you were new would you have wanted people to treat you that way? I realize the OP's post are very... all over the place but honestly dropping all the profanity is not needed. XDA is being overrun I would have to say, but all your doing is going to cause more of these posts in the long run. Help him out now, and the posts more than likely won't continue as long as he is pointed in the right direction.
P.S. Go ahead and flame all over me for this one if you please. Make my day! I remember when it was cool to act childish and talk like your tough and run your mouth behind a computer screen... Give up your rants, or don't bother posting.
It is really a shame to have this happening on this site.
Please be courteous and treat members the way you want to be treated. Thread has been reported so let's stop the non-sense and either help the new member or leave this thread.
Last and only friendly warning
To OP...
If this is not the thread or the right area for your question, please post your question on the proper forum.

No flaming here, and no flaming towards the OP. I do remember what it was like being new to XDA. It's just like anything new in your life-but it does not entitle you to be obnoxious and repulsive but more so the exact opposite. That is no necessary(or welcomed here or on any other forum. or for that matter anywhere in life really).
To the original poster:
Boot into recovery like you were if you were flashing a new ROM. If you are not sure what I just said, then before you apply any theme or mod from this sub-forum, you will need to have a rooted device. Not sure what I just said? Search the forum for how to root your Evo. Familarize yourself with what rooting is and what it entails. After rooting, find a custom ROM in the Android development sub-forum for your Evo and flash via recovery. Wipe cache, dalvik cache, and then flash. In order to transfer any files to your phones SD card you have to do 1 of 2 things.
1. Hook up your phone to your computer after it has been rooted and change setting to disk drive and you will be able to find it in "Computer" as a drive
2. Remove the SD card from the back of your phone(under the battery) and insert into SD card reader and place files onto the root of your SD card. The root means do not place it anywhere other than the folder that first appears when you open your SD card up.
I was new at one point to bro don't worry. Basically to get a theme, obviously you must download it first, if you download it from your phone its a little bit easier but if you download it from your computer you just need to plug in your phone. put your phone in disk drive and drag it to your sdcard. Very simple and of course make sure you get you know a sense theme for a sense rom(make sure its the same version too!!) and if you have an aosp rom make sure you get an aosp theme. Once it is in your sd card boot your phone into recovery by turning your phone off and turning it back up with holding the power button and the rocker switch DOWN. Go to recovery there and first thing you should do is back up!! So go to nandroid and backup!!!! After that go to install from sdcard, look for your file and install it! let it install and after it should prompt you to reboot device and press ok and your done!
lmao at the lame that took his tyme to rite that
Please be nice, everyone =D.
Theres also plenty of tutorials on youtube just search htc evo themes. And not everybody here enjoys flaming so dont sweat it

HTC G1 Upgrade... NO SOLUTION!!

I am at my witts end with this stupid phone. I am trying so hard to find an actual download for the android 1.5 cupcake update. I have been looking for two days straight. All I want to do is to get android 1.5 cupcake on this phone and googles link for the update has been gone for a while. I have seen MANY successful attempts at upgrading without root... Its as simple as renaming the file to update, dropping it in the sd card and rebooting with home + power button and hitting alt+L and alt+S and boom thats it...
Does ANYONE have a solution or better yet... a link to a working download of android 1.5 cupcake so that I can upgrade this phone? I am desperate. Thanks so much.
download link for 1.5
ok so here is a guide to unbrick a HTC G1....not exactly what you asked for, but bear with me. ---code.google.com/p/android-roms/wiki/Unbrick--- (apparently I can't post links due to me being a new user)
in this guide towards the bottom of the page, there are several link to the different android versions for the G1 and they are all good links...I used this guide myself, so I know it is solid.
take the time and read through this guide so that you will be better able to choose the files you want to download.
let me know if this helps (or if it doesn't)
Thanks
charlie
hey I really do appreciate the link. I will check it out and pray to God that I can get some success. With this phone the ONLY desire that I have is to get the camcorder anyway. I know there are alot of other nice features but if its this ahrd to do and I was able to get just the camcorder I would probably be stoked.
In the event anyone else reads this and has some feedback or a working link to a download of the 1.5 cupcake (even the UK download) I would be thankful. From what I have seen even people that used the UK download were able to get it working WITHOUT root in all of 2 minutes which is fantastic... If only I had a working download for it. Unfortunately google decided to take it down permanently and every time I do a search with google or yahoo, ALL the links for a download are to the google site which doesn't work.
So, if ANYONE has any help with this I would truly appreciate it because I am literally at my witts end. And charltonstanley... Once again, thanks alot and I will chec out the link of yours. I really appreciate the reply.
You're Welcome
You're welcome!
Like I said before, the links are towards the very bottom of that page.
I believe that with these, you can achieve your goal to make this phone a camcorder. But why not go all the way to 1.6 stock? Why stop at 1.5? The last download link on the website link That I posted is 1.6 stock. just use that one.
I do however believe that you MUST start flashing from android 1.0 and move down the list. I believe for one to work you have to have the others---at least that is what my experience was.
My recommendation is that you follow this guide completely EVEN IF your phone isn't bricked. That is what I did with my non-bricked G1 and everything works perfectly! No regrets!
Let me know if you need more help.
There are several more websites that I know of that have more tools that will help you recover your phone to stock, it just depends on your circumstances.
I uploaded this a couple years ago and apparently it still has seeders. http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/4910197/Official_USA_T-Mobile_Cupcake_Android_1.5_Image_for_G1
I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees the elephant in the room... OP!!! Why u no root!?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
i will definitely try that charlton. I am going to give that a try tomorrow once I get home from work and I will let u know hjow it goes or if I need any help.i really appreciate it. and I will go with 1.6 I just wasnt aware that 1.6 was even released for the g1. is it 1.6 donut?
benmarvin, thanks alot I appreciate the link and if this first solution doesnt work I will go to your link. Out of curiosity (because your post didnt say fr sure) is your link to 1.5 cupcake and if so is it USA or UK version that just gets dropped in sd card and renamed to update and yada yada yada?
flying fox the reason is because I do not have a huge amount of experience with rooting phones. I rooted two of my cellphones before but it always seems like something goes wrong and I feel that I dont FULLY understand or maybe I just dont trust myself to attempt root and bricking the phone when theres the possibility of doing it simply by dropping it in renaming the file restarting and hitting alt + l and alt + s. I just figure that was the easiest route. If someone had skype and was willing to step me through it now thats a different story .
Thanks to everyone and any more feedback is appreciated! dont stop with the answers! hah

[q] just wondering if possible to port .sense to mt3gs

HELLO EVERY BODY I was just wondering if it is possible to do a port of benjamingwynn's super awsome .sense rom to the mytouch 3g slide?
It's just a really great rom that might just bring the mt3gs back for one last time.
Just don't want to give up on this phone, I love it to much.
well, i might, but, im more focused on getting WiFi to work in ANY sense 3.5 rom
Well that is important and I thank you for working on it! I
I just wanted to know so I can give porting a rom a try. Want to contribute something instead of just using.
Oh by the love your roms

well, start by setting up either a linux partition, or install cygwin (you need the custom one in the dsixda kitchen thread) and setting up your kitchen, but for the most par, just make sure you are trying to port a non-sense rom with a sense base, or vise-versa
Also, always replace /system/usr and /system/bin/akmd
but you will figure out what else on your own

Dont know if this will help or not. You may or may not be aware of it. I checked out the thread a little, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445517 and development has been suspended. Apparently there were some problems with wifi and cell service on the latest version 3.0 from the little bit I read there. I did notice a few people saying that v2.0.1 was working pretty good for them though.
It also appears that they had it working for the Legend in v2.0.1 so that could be the easiest port if you do decide to tackle it. (The Legend is nearly identical to our Espresso if I am remembering correctly)
v3.0 was available for the Wildfire and the Salsa, and since we have a working port of Salsa, that may help as well (for either the 3.0 or 2.0.1).
Sorry I can't be much more help than this right now. Hopefully this can help give you some ideas.
Note: the download links do not work at all, but i did find them all here.

That is a very good starting point. Once the weekend gets here I will try to get started.
One more question what are the minimum requirements for a PC, I have 4 gigs of ram two hard drives one with 250 gb the other with 1 tb and a pentium core duo processor I think. (Not sure on the processor, been a while since I looked)

I would say that should be plenty. I have not yet attempted compiling or porting myself but i use a much weaker machine for a lot of my android stuff and it has been pretty good for the mods and such ive been working on. Search google or xda for android development min requirements and you should find some info on recommended specs for what u want to do.

one more thing I tried to plug my mt3gs to my pc but neither my wife's laptop or my desktop wont recognize my phone neither htc sync or as a mass storage device, as I am going to start my little project on saturday. So just want to know if there is a solution for this? Can someone please help me your help is very very appreciated.
Have u tried a different cable? Does the phone start charging when u plug it into the PC? if u just want to transfer files u can try an app like SwiFTP from the market. I believe there are also ways to run adb over wifi, but ive never looked into it so not totally sure bout that. Did u check to make sure in settings that its not set to Charge Only?

This all started to happen with the original cord that came with the phone but I will try different cords just too see if I can get it to work. And if not I will look in to that adb through wifi thing, but most likely if a different cord works I will still research that whole process. I thank you for your help and advice. :thumbup:

why post such a useless unhelpful post? i wish we could un thank you for this kind of stupid useless time wasting post ... seriously ... use google? thats like telling someone the first step to survival is you need to breathe. no crap sherlock ... i was asking where to specifically find it... there are many methods which i searched prior to using this thread and found nothing ... at least in a short amount of time .. this isnt a research paper im looking for
Guess what sherlock, google is indeed your friend.
If you search for "gapps" in google, you get the website you want in the first result, so you just got to be joking.
You pretty much sum it up: some people are just too lazy to use the resources around them and prefer to have things come to them served on a plate. Breathe in breathe out.
see actually i searched Gapps cm10 4.2.2 which is what i was looking for (as i heard incompatible issues) but all that came up was 4.1.2 ?!?! thats why i asked here ...
If you were searching for CM10 then that is 4.1. CM10.1 is 4.2
EDIT: But even so, your search would have brought up the right result as the top result.
