EVO 4G Beginner Questions

Thanks for reading.
I'm new to all this I paid a guy to root my phone. He seems to have done it right it's sff, and I have superuser, and opengarden wifi tether. Most rooted apps require busybox, do I need it? And if so how do I get it?
Please help and thanks again!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

to get busybox, use busybox installer from the android market

Thank you I didn't think it was that simple.

Do I have to open it it's not in my app drawer?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yes. It should be in your app drawer. On your phone open the market and search for the app again. Check to see if it is installed. If it is installed, you should be given the option to either open the app or uninstall it. In that case select open.

I downloaded tha installer it opened told me to choose my version chose v1.9 it said succesfully download but busybox itself is not in the drawer just the installer
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

oh then in that case, you are done. busybox installer is the app that you will see in the app drawer. busybox itself is a file (so it will not be in the app drawer).
in case you were wondering where it is located, it is located in either /system/bin or /system/xbin, depending on where you installed it (which can be found when you open up the busybox installer app)

Ok another question my evo is rooted but I have no custom rom or kernal is it juss me or does rooting alone basically kill battery life?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

rooting only gives you superuser and so should not affect battery life at all

I agree with everything sweetnsour said so far.
How much did you pay to have your phone rooted?

I paid thirty five to have it rooted

Suggestion: save your money. It's not hard to do at all, just scary the first time. And you don't want to have to pay someone every time you want a new rom, need to update, need to unroot, have a problem, etc.
If you need help, send me a pm and I'll link you to some good resources and help you if you have any problems. And it won't cost you a dime. You root your phone to gain control over it, not to lose control and money.
There's a plethora of information and folks willing to help on this forum. Use the resources that are available for free and earn a hobby that you can be involved in, the outcome will be much better than paying this guy to do everything for you.

If you don't mind throwing away $35 then throw it to someone worth throwing it to.....like donating to developers. There are a ton of step by step instructions on how to flash custom roms to your phone. And 99% of these guides are designed specifically for noobs and first time rooters. Look at the stickies here in the Q&A section. They are packed full of information to know before you root as well as clear and noobproof step by step instructions. You can even find videos on youtube. Rooting and flashing custom roms the first time are always nerve racking because you are full of fear that you'll be "that guy" that bricks his phone. But once you've done the whole process from start to finish the first time you realize just how easy it is and then you laugh at yourself for being so worried in the first place. Save your money. Put it toward gas, beer, or donating to developers. There are plenty of people on here willing to do something like a video chat to walk you through it step by step for free.

You can not brick your phone by flashing ROMs.
The only way to brick thr EVO is by doing a battery pull while updating radios. That is it!
Read sticky's on these pages, pick a rom to try, download it to the main directory of your phone, reboot into recovery. Nand backup your phone, then flash the zip file you downloaded, enjoy! All free.
Donate to the Dev that created the Rom you like as they are the ones that make rooting fun and keep new ones coming.
Everyone on this site, started out just like you, only most did not pay to have a phone rooted.

Root? Which Mod? What am I to do?

I give in. I'm gonna root my device. Been looking for the right steps and don't know what means what. Not stupid, just cheap/chicken. Wanna learn and just don't know where to begin. Guy on YT roots in a few minutes - just doesn't show clear screen shots. You guys talk about this or that mod - I get lost in stocks, cm's, and kernels. What's a noob to do? Are there various 'roots' or just one basic? Any kits to apply? And then what - after it's rooted? What about the counter - why's that a big deal? Too many questions? Not the right ones? Help! Please! Thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom.

Just go to development section and look at the stickied posts. Currently, the first one tells you what to do to root your phone. It was you through very thoroughly.

Just viewed cursed4eva's root video - is it REALLY that easy? I loaded superuser, titanium backup, mobile Odin, ES fe/tm, ROM tbp - and kept em up - when I got this phone. I figured it would be helpful 'just in case' and now I'm down to like 3g outta 12g after only 104 days from activation. I've reached my 'jic' point.
Sooo... Gonna do it tomorrow morning (omg - it's like I'm 6 the NBC...)

I'm in the same boat as you are as I am a new user from Iphone to Android. Totally in love with the my SG3 and looking into rooting my phone..

Is pretty helpful, I've been reading up on all the stickies as much as I could and hopefully I will be brave enough to tackle all this soon. Good luck!
EDIT: I was looking at the cursed4eva suggested by the other member on this thread and I believe the rooting methods on there is for the I9300 not the SGH-747M model. Maybe someone with more experience can confirm this?

Just down load the root tool kit in the stickies. Walks you through step by step and the file you download contains everything you need in order to root

This will probably help. Follow the instructions, I just did and it is very simple.

Download the root kit from stickies like said above. That's what I used. Simple. Actually thought it was easier then rooting my note. Def easier then when I rooted my inspire or LG nitro or all the iPhone jailbreaks

[Q] AT&T GN2 Help

Hi I am new here and I would like to root my device to make it my own and get rid of all the apps that came with it, but I have a few questions.
1, Once I am rooted which rom is the best for my AT&T GN2?
2, Will I still be able to update my GN2?
3, What happens if I messed up during the rooting process?
4, And how often do I need to change roms?
5, Is rooting the way to go?
I am going to be dead honest here, I am a girl and some of the steps of rooting I dont quite understand, if someone can help me explain things I will be so happy.

1. Try each rom out and find out what YOU like. I personally use CleanRom 4.0.5 with no problems.
2. Why update when custom roms are better than stock roms?
3. If you mess up thats on you. But its not to hard root. I rooted and installed a custom rom before leaving the att store.
4. If you find a rom that you like you will most likely flash a new rim once its updated.
5. Yes rooting has many advantages. Ex. Wifi tethering, removing bloatware, custom roms, etc.....

I am reading how to root and can you please tell me the differences?
1,Root with Exynos Abuse Apk, is there a difference between rooting like this and the other way?

To my experience this way allows me to remove bloatware aka att apps. And also install custom roms.
Installing the exploit fix may crash camera. Just a warning

Another question, if I root it with Exynos Abuse Apk do I need to install a rom aswell? sorry to ask too many questions

No. You can be rooted using the "stock" rom you are using now out of the box. You will have the ability to delete apps using the app mentioned before.
If and when you do decide to install new roms. You will have to install a recovery. Which that exynos abuse apk does not include.
A recovery is a whole other thing.
For recovery I use twrp.

No, you can stay stock, but you're gonna want to flash something because you know it's better. Clean rom is the way to go.

I'll be honest, this smells of a "phone won't turn on" thread in the near future. You're not ready to root your phone and go playing around in recovery. You might be ready to root once you'd studied up on exanose abuse and the rooting concept in general. But right now I would hold off if I were you. TBO the Gn2 runs so well out of the box that you're almost there anyway. Make sure you are confident that you will know how to do each step BEFORE you attempt to root, and are sure you have another web-enabled device so that you can come here for questions while your Gn2 is down.
Let's us know what you decide...

Yes, you will trip the Knox flag, currently no method to reset it. TWRP is fine, just do some reading about restoring backups.. If done incorrectly, you will experience what's been coined "The Brickloop"

Just root it using Odin and Chainfires auto-root method, I'm not familiar with the custom kernel as yet, so I won't comment on that. Once you root, you still keep all stock functionality, just have administrative rights, so to speak. If you're not too familiar with rooting, flashing, etc.. I wouldn't recommend starting right now with the Note 3, still early in the aftermarket development stage..

Considering all of the challenges that people have faced with Fierce bootloops - and for a while no way way to fix them, this is a situation where you would do very well to do some reading before you do anything. There are two root methods currently both are outlined in the Original Android Development Section for the TMOBILE NOte 3 - you can download everything you need from there - and I think it would be very helpful for you to read thru what others have done and experienced before you do anything - then you can make your own decision about which root method is best for your needs.
I don't mean to sound sanctimonious or anything but if there ever was a time that reading thoroughly first was a good thing to do - this is one of those times..good luck

What did my post have to do with your asking for a link? Well, I didn't want to be this direct but If you simply opened the Original Android Development thread and took less than a minute to read, you wouldn't need to ask for a link. You would see that there were two threads available that offered details that would give you exactly what you wanted. Two different ways to root.
In fact, in less time than it took you to write your post and wait for an answer, you would have had exactly what you were looking for.
My response to you was a gentle reminder that reading is a good thing.

THis forum is loaded with people who have have had major issues when flashing a recovery which is often the next step after rooting - there are more reports of people who have had to return their note 3 to TMOBILE than I can remember seeing on a single phone in a very long time. My Suggestion for you to read was purely intended to help you - it is easy to let others do the work for you - when often trouble could have been avoided by being more educated. What struck me as odd was the fact that it was so easy to find the link you were looking for - if you only opened one section of the forum in the Original Android Development you would have found it. But that is besides the point.
My comments were always supportive - and intended to help you. Period. I am sorry that you are so caught up in the " I want what I want when I want it "- that you can't see that. XDA is a forum designed for people to learn more about their phones and to ultimately try to get more out of them than you can get in a Stock phone...I have been in your shoes before and done exactly what you did when asking for a link - and have gotten a similar reply to the one I gave you. I am grateful it happened to me because it forced me to take a step back - do a little reading - learn more about the challenges others have faced and in the end, avoid those same problems myself.
Once more, I am Sorry you feel I was ridiculing you - couldn't be farther from the truth - I wish you well and hope you enjoy your NOTE3. Have a nice day my friend.

No problem. .. Just to let you know that thread doesn't show up in my app which I always use.. It only showed up on my computer. .. That's why I didn't see it. ..
After I rooted the system it said modified and ota wouldn't work. .. so I installed xposed framework and then wanam xposed module and there is a setting to set system to original and that works for ota...

I may be wrong but I thought that using that option in Wanam Exposed was cosmetic only. It changes that to Official in Settings - but doesn't really effect how your phone is recognized as being 'altered" - LIke I said, I might be wrong, but that is what I heard. You might check with someone who knows more about this than I do
Good luck

That's what I thought also but when I tried to go to the ota update setting it told me that this is a modified system and when I use that module then it told me that there was no further updates... so I guess that made it work. ..

Damn man!! Look harder and you will find it. Hell Google search will give you several results. If you can't do either of those just Google kingo root it does work for 4.3. Next time look before posting. There must be a dozen stupid post just like this already in general and q&a.

Use a program (for Windows) called Kingoroot.
First turn USB debugging on in developer settings, then go to your homescreen.
Start the mrogram, wait until it says that your device is connected and press then the root button.
You should be rooted + the KNOX counter stays 0.

Yall about some retarded fools. While I did give him a hard time for be a lazy person I did also state that kingo root is what he needs. So kiss my fat hairy arse.
I mean heck if you cant read a few of the threads you should just get yourself an iPhone like the rest of the idiots.
Talking about idiots. Why aren't the mods stepping up? Since 4.3 has been out there must be 2 dozen of these exact same threads. While I understand people might need help but all these repeates just keep the real questions from getting answered.
