damn wife tried to help me, and i think she screwed me even more... - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just got my Evo, and out the box it already had the Anti-Root OTA Update installed... well she took hers to sprint today since she couldnt get Netflix to work, and they told her there was an update availible to fix that. so she downloaded it on hers and now netflix wirks great for her.
So she comes home, and grabs mine and updates it for me... trying to prove to me that she knows how to do some things... Now my software number is 4.24.651.1... yay... wonder when THIS one is gonna be cracked so i can finally root this thing!

sorry dude the root method isnt availabile yet but devs and unrevoked are workin on it i think they will have root method out by october bro

Leave her...

I believe you can flash the ruu back to 2.2 and root.

I have heard from a handful of people this wont work since I am S-on.
I know Unrevoked and all the smart people are working on it. I can wait. I just couldnt believe she actually touched my phone and updated it... she should know better!

Your netflix is working now, thank her.

You can't be serious?!? Within 6 days people can find a way to root the EVO 3D, but the Gingerbread update that's been out for a month, can't be cracked?
I'm in no situation to get upset, I guess. I don't know a thing about how to do it, but I had to replace my rooted phone due to a cracked casing, and I just received the new one 2 days ago.
I'm missing all the goods....like Synergy.

when they think they know it all, let them do the hard work

Originally the Evo was rooted before it actually launched (thanks toast!). HTC has gotten better locking the Evo down since then.

Does this give you free access to her purse now? LOL

nm....Frustrated with Spint

Tell her that you have made a choice to leave her for your phone. and you want to have great sex with the HDMI port on your phone. lmao!!!!! Cause we all know it is that small since you can't tell her NOT to touch your phone. lol! but then again, girls will be girls. they'll do what they want anyway because they actually think they know what they are doing because some idiot at sprint told her that. lmao. anyway. hahahhahahahahaha. The only reason I root is to use the SO CALL FREAKING 10 DOLLARS a month they are stealing from us. Use as much internet as I can. hahahahahaha

Every one of you who would even joke about your wife the way you are should be ashamed of yourself. As for the OP, you should be kicked hard in the junk for such a disrespectful thread title.

this entire thread is making me laugh my ass off. hahahahhaa

[Q] is the leaked 2.3.3 or just a cover up of 2.2

went to a sprint store and the sprint representive said the EE03 for the epic 4g was a fake and was not the real gingerbread but a covered up version of 2.2 froyo is this really true????
Lol are you serious? The guys messing with you
xDDDDD. Wait you were serious? Sorry.
He's messing with you man. EE03 is a leaked version of 2.3.3, it most certainly NOT 2.2!
No. Otherwise Netflix wouldn't work on it. It is NOT an official release but a beta version. There will be later versions before it is released.
i can't speak for others, but IMHO the devs in this community know more than 99% of "Sprint store" employees about what is going on with the epic and with gingerbread.
Have you tried running the leaked EE03 rom? it has some functionality to it that is definitely an improvement over stock EC05 froyo, but also definitely a little way to go before a fully functional gingerbread release.
on a different note -- anyone hear about the progress of EE19?
i can haz moar ginjurbreds nao?

yes i am running it. and i was running it when i went to the sprint store and showed them that, and even said i had netflix and they still said it was a tweeked version of froyo and they say that the nexus s is the better phone. LOL really its the same except for the NFC radio

sounds like they just wanted to try to sell you a new phone. nexus s may have some things that are better than the epic (like being a purely google device), but with these gingerleaks here and the real gingerbread on the way the epic is still the best phone for me.

I Totally have to agree the epic 4g is clearly a better phone if you screw up with it or something i have always been able to reset it and sprint techs not even having a clue i did that.
So, I work for sprint and I can tell you that xda has more info than we do. They don't really tell us much at all, xda would have info up for weeks before they officially tell us anything. Kind of funny

the LEAKED gingerbread is not within their knoledge because it is leaked, thus we know more than they do... because they only know OFFICIAL RELEASES

[Q] has the 2.3.3 ota software been rooted?

sorry if this is a lame question but a friend of mine asked me to root his evo 4g with the 2.3.3 ota software update and i was wondering if unrevoked would work for it. thanks a bunch
Just rooted mine last night, don't no where there link is, you have to search
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
ok cool. but did you use unrevoked?
I'm pretty sure this guy is trolling you. I have an evo on 2.3.3 that I got last week, and I'm patiently waiting to root. When a method comes out this forum is gonna light up with posts about it, you won't have to search for it to hard.
Heres to hoping we get root soon!
You CANNOT root 2.3 yet!
There has been at LEAST 100 threads about this is the last month. I have personally responded to 3 threads in the past day alone. Please do a search next time, it would literally have taken you 10 seconds.
You aren't a friend for allowing him to take the update. And if you know how to root then u should know there is no root for 2.3 ota... In fact there will never be again... If the amount of new devices that have dropped or will in the 3rd and 4th quarter including iPhone 5// like really if u want root... Go buy a rooted device....
Let the developer move on to bigger things.. and learn on your own to gain root access just like they did.... No one wants to take the time out to learn... They expect these guys to do it all...
I say no more root for evo... why.. so u can gain root then complain when you can install them rom or kernel right...nah.... Make em like them guys on Craigslist....

what about sbf back to 2.2?
I rooted my Orig Droid running 2.3.3 with unrevoked!!!
Someone on TeamWin did root 2.3.3, but "it pushed the phone to the max" and he is not releasing it, for fear of bricking phones.

Based on that type of logic, this place would not exist. If every one had to learn how to root on their own I don't think there would be too many rooted devices out there. I agree about the complaining but that doesn't apply to everyone. And if people took the time out to successfully port 2.3.3 with sense 2.1 for the hero, I have to believe someone / some group will successfully root the Evo again.

First LOS

Got my first LOS today. I've had the phone for about a month. Yesterday i rooted using the autoroot method so i didn't mess with the Kernel or anything so i'm not sure if it's coincidence or what. Just letting you guys know.

I've had my phone for about a month and a half or so... I just got my first "official" LOS (the little "no" sign) on Thursday last week. I rooted with the Autoroot about 2 weeks ago so I don't think there is any connection.
I've had "ghost" LOS a few times, though, where the phone wouldn't send or receive text or make a call. I still showed "bars" however...
Now that I've had an LOS, I think I'll try a ROM or two while wating for ICS or CM7/9.

For the record, I had a LOS two days ago, haven't had one since. Im also drinking a Monster Rehab, good stuff man.
had tons of LoS when i was rooted(for about a month) unrooted yesterday and have had full bars ever since then, may on drop 1 bar every now and then but besides that i've had no problems
Had my second one today. Trying send a message it went from 3g with full bars, to no 3g, to the bars going down slowly, to the no symbol. Had to reboot, and it seemed to happen after uploading 20 pics to Facebook.

great...another los thread
This phone has some great hardware but I've experienced LOS even before my phone was rooted. It happens about once per week for me, on average.
Just got my first I after I rooted. Sucks balls.

I rooted using the non-ODIN method as soon as I got home from Sprint with my Epic Touch. Stock kernel, stock ROM, I just wanted to be able to run Adfree and a couple other root only apps.
I've only had one LOS, that was yesterday, about a week after getting my phone.
What I noticed about my LOS was that I was in my basement, I had NO bars then all the sudden I lost signal because it legitimately wasn't there. My HTC EVO 4G does this in the basement from time to time too and couldn't roam either.
Anyway, I went upstairs and left to run to the store but the phone never got signal back until I did a full reboot as where my EVO would/does.
No big deal. Nothing that has warranted me installing viperboys LoS mod yet or anything.
So far this phones been pretty trouble free.
This thread is fun, it's like a special ed Twitter, only much much slower.

This is SOME NONSENSE!

Can someone please explain this to me on how a CRICKET phone got a working ICS update and we don't. Come on now Huawei. This is a damn shame. The Galaxy Nexus is not released here in the states and some rinky dink phone got ICS. WTF! And now I see why Apple is kicking ass.

Take it easy...
Oh for christ sakes, you really felt the need to create a new thread for this? Your a god damn troll, you know that? There are developers actively working on CM7 which will eventually lead to CM9 and ICS on this phone. If you are impatient, get another phone. Read the forum rules and do some searching and quit your god damn whining.
You little 10 year olds and your demands for everything are getting on my last effin' nerve on this board. GTFO!
For one it's a demo build so it's not complete. Sure they have one but in all honesty what did they have to leave out or what's not working without having major issues. As it says it's a DEMO which we have phones already in the xda community that have this also already. Not a big deal.
Dude chill even when we do get ics a ton of apps are not even updated for it yet. I rather have all my apps working and no Los.

[HUMOR][EPIC 4G TOUCH EDITION] You know you're rooted when..

I saw this in another thread and I thought it was a neat idea.
Just add your own funny conclusion to "You know you're rooted when"!
Have fun!
Example: You know you're rooted when you spend more time on the XDA forums than with your family.
You know you're rooted when you flash every ROM available for the Epic touch!
Special thanks to kennysvgp08 for the idea
This guy below me has the best one so far vvv
You know you're rooted....
when you miss a call from friends or family, and they ask why....
You tell them that you must have been "in recovery", and don't understand the strange looks they give you:
"Mom, I DON'T have a drug problem!"
You know your rooted when you flash something in cwm at work and soft brick so you lite to your boss so you can leave early to access Odin at home

You know your rooted when you were younger and people asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up, you answered a Recognized Developer.
You know you're rooted when... you never have to clear out your sms inbox because you just do it when you flash a new rom.
You know you're rooted when:
- you forget what the "Sprint Zone" notification bar icon looks like.
- you have more memory taken up by flashable ROMs on your SD card than music.
- your wife won't let you touch her phone because of how often yours is soft-bricked.
