GRRR evo!

ok i cae from a nexus one rooted and running MIUI mod. i came to the EVO hoping to do the same. i have root and recovery but every time i flash a rom i gt bootloop. help i dont know what to do now?

You probably aren't wiping data. Either that or the MIUI kernel isn't playing nice with your EVO. Try to flash one of the AOSP kernels without agressive undervolting. If that doesn't work, try one without HAVS altogether.

think you could post a link to this?

Wrong forum.

how is it wrong forum? its a developement question

Do you only get boot loops when you flash miui? Have you tried any other rom? Is your S-ON, S-Off? Did you use unrevoked method to root? Is your evo a 004?

yes i get booy loops on every rom and i believe it is off and i did use unrevooked and i have no idea how would i go forth of checking that?

what he means by wrong forum is that you posted a question in the Developer forum.. questions go in the questions forum.. and you can post questions about a particular rom in that roms' thread to get the best help..
and in this case thats not even hosted here at XDA..

Did you just get your phone recently? If so, you probably have a late 003 or the new 004 hw version. Check it in your settings/about phone/hardware info. Then try this guide (read the cautions): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045.

i keep getting errors when i try to adb shell busy box. i dont understand why this is taking a couple days.

i gett the error when trying to adb shell busy box

What he means by wrong forum is that it's not yet another rom. There is no discussion of development that goes on in this forum. It's nothing more than a release and support forum, at best a collection of bug reports.

I'm not trying to be rude but some of u need to get a life. I mean if u have nothing better to do than to pop in and out of every thread telling people they posted in the wrong place I feel sorry for u. Either try and help or don't say anything and let the mods decide wether its in the wrong place or not. I used to love coming on here and talking, learning and sharing but some of u are just completely ruining it.

my guess is you arent s-off/nand unlocked. reboot into hboot. power off and the back on, while pressing the volume down button. the very top line will tell you whether it is on or off.

Best rooting method?

I've always rooted my HTC, recently my Ev3D. I found from past experience that certain rooting methods is not too friendly with ease of flashing roms...
Question: I'm not in a rush to root so, should I wait until sprint/samsung release the no signal bug update or is there a safe and stable root method available now?
How many root methods are available now and which is best route?

[rant]Ok, I'll be the asshole here. First of all, did you even bother to look around and read the PLETHORA of posts and information already available about this topic? Seems that you didn't. So I'M not going to answer you, and I hope no one does. Because YOU need to take it upon YOURSELF to research, read, read some more, then read a little bit more, then make an EDUCATED decision.
Second, this is posted in the wrong section. This section is for DEVELOPMENT topics ONLY, not Q&A or General.[/rant]

First, I apologize for posting in the wrong dev section (lesson learned - from Jarred)
Second, I read and read and googled and read androidfurums and xda forums and found too many solutions. Info is too scattered and every root method thread have their own following with praises.
I simply wanted few members to maybe give me names of root method and I was going to read and read and read some more and then make an EDUCATED decision. Since you rather "proudly" rant and make new members feel welcome by claiming an asshole title... I THANK YOU.
So remember, 1 of the thanks on your thank meter will always be there from me ... thanks for being an asshole, have a wonderful day lol

There currently is no "superior root method." At the end of the day if you are rooted it doesn't really matter how you went about it.
There is a small amount of controversy currently about the rooted-kernels breaking something and causing a LOS (loss of service), but we have no proof that the rooted kernels are or aren't causing the problem. (I, personally, think it has nothing to do with the kernel as I got a few LOS bone stock. YMMV)
Now, you can wait for someone to find an exploit in the stock kernel if that makes you more comfortable be my guest...you might be waiting a while, maybe forever as there is no need.
So, no matter what "method" you use they all have the same goal in mind, get SU into /system/apps...the current "stock rooted" method involves flashing a rooted kernel, flashing a root.zip (to install SU) and then flashing the stock kernel back. Now you have Super User installed *and* the stock kernel. Poof, you are rooted, you are stock, everyone wins...right?

[Q] missing kernel

i've looked all over for this kernel and i cannot find it... its for the cm7-gx4... i hope someone has it so i could flash this rom very soon, and also could i use a different kernel for this problem?

and in ur attempt of god knows what im lookin for the kernel... wait let me repest that for the seeing impaired KERNEL not rom... smh

I'm not quite following what you're trying to achieve.
When you flash a rom, the kernel is included. You don't have to flash the kernel separately unless you want a custom kernel.
Following the link above (the lmgtfy, I didn't know what CM7-GX4 was), it seems that you're looking for the kernel from a rom that's quite old. Are you wanting to flash that kernel with a different rom?
Maybe sleep deprivation is making me silly and dumb, but I just don't get it.

And in your attempt to be an ungrateful individual who requires that everything be handed to him....I've gone ahead and completed the difficult task of running another Google search for you.
I've also gone ahead and thrown in a brief "How-to" so that you know exactly what you are supposed to do with the information I gave you, since you apparently failed to grasp the fairly simple concept on your own.
1. Use the link from my first response to download the CM7-gx4 ROM.
2. Use the second link to learn how to extract the kernel from the CM7-gx4 ROM that you downloaded from step #1. (I assumed you would've been able to figure this part out on your own)
3. Take newly extracted CM7-gx4 kernel and flash it to your phone.
4. Go back to the stickies in this forum and read the thread about ROMs/kernels and then facepalm yourself for not realizing that the kernel is already packaged within the ROM and doing the above steps for no reason.
5. Press the thank you button at the bottom of this post.

if u actually took the time out and actually read that post u should understand that the developer posted a link for a kernel... i dont expect things to b handed to me but i expect people to actually know what im talkin about to actually help me with what i want without being sarcastic... so now go and think about what u've done

If you "expect people to actually know what you're talking about ", then you should type more clearly and give more information.
You said you were looking for a kernel for a rom and that you wanted to flash the rom soon. Then you said you were running Decks. Then you said (and I'm translating into proper spelling and grammar) "If you actually took the time to read that post, you'd understand that the developer posted a link for a kernel."
I'm still lost as to what you're trying to achieve, but I don't think it's even relevant because I think you moved on to something else.
If I understood what you were trying to do, I would try to help you. Maybe I'm just missing something obvious.

[Q] noob with questions n yes ive searched and read.....

ok ok yeah i am a noob to this htc evo rooting and things im sorry honestly it is the reason i got the phone so i could root it.... but i have had this phone now since august doing excatly what you stated i should do right at signing up for this site.... read search read more and more and more and keep searching... so now after months and hours of this i believe im atleast ready to root.. i have sprint replacing my htc evo with a brand new one due to arrive any day and im planning to root right out of box... im using rooting method i found here ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865204 .... ive downloaded all the files and programs as instructed even copied the thread as so i can read each step agian as preforming it... SORRY A BIT LONG WINDED ... my question is this i want wifi tethering basicly i got the wifi tethering download from ... http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Evo ... is this all i need to open my wifi hotspot free???? and also since ive done all this reading and digging i found alot of info confusing and or unorginized sorry just hard to search and find things is all but i am also looking for a wolf theme set and a mod also but finding most themes in title only no pics and mods with no discriptions ... basicly is there one member with whom i my chat with to help with these issues and point the right way or place to find what im looking for???

sorry one more thing im also going to be activating my second line on my sprint account and getting another phone one with a full slide out keyboard and will need to do this with that phone as well .... what phone would be the easiest and best to do so with....

Yes, if you use the wireless / wifi tether app, you're set for tethering.
Also, if you want a theme made, go ask in the themes/apps section, they'll help you out there. I know billbowers does themes for a fact.
Also your root method will depend on the hboot, so check it before you root it, and do NOT any OTAs before you root.
Also, you'll have to do the appropriate root method for the extra phone.

Theres a few roms out there that has all that integrated into the rom and theres themes made already for those roms,heres a few threads that have what you want...

There's only 2 phones with slide-out qwerty keyboards at this time, running Android. The HTC Shift and the Samsung Epic. Shift you would be pseudo familiar with, being from the HTC lineup. Epic on the other hand may be a little different than what you have read so far, especially if the phone is running Gingerbread. Good luck.

thanks for the info and will follow up on the leads you have given very helpful thank you

sorry..

Sounds like a dirty flash. Did you start a fresh install, wipe everything, prior to installing the new one? If you just flashed over the other build, merging/meshing may occur, but at least it was usable.?

I agree, especially since he is going from one sense version to another. The basic rule of thumb "You can never wipe enough"

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to say hi to everyone, I have been jailbreaking iPhones and iPods for years but I decided to switch to an android so I went with a Galaxy S3
I am new to the ROM/rooting experience and I am looking forward to learning!
I did root the phone but I have not flashed any ROMS yet. I want to find the best one out there for the T-mobile S3 before I flash my first one. Could anyone tell me which, if any, improve signal strength? I have very bad signal in my area and was hoping that I could improve that this way, Gotta appreciate all of the developers who put so much time and work into this stuff for our benefit!

Well I would recommend Wicked rom if you want stock experience, if you want aosp, most are based on CyanogenMod 10 builds. If you want better reception, there is a flashable modem that SHOULD improve reception, but its dangerous I've read, I have not done that, but its what I've read. Some heads up tips, backup in recovery before flashing anything, read the original post of anything you'll flash and search before posting, you'll probably find what you need
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Where did you hear that flashing modems is dangerous? As long as you follow directions and don't use one for another device its really no more dangerous than flashing a kernel or recovery.
If you guys want to learn more about modems this thread is as good as any place to start!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880987
Just please make sure you read and understand what you are doing before trying this or any other mod!
@op
The thread I linked to is stickied in the development section. Next to it is the firmware thread. I suggest keeping a copy of the stock fw on hand in case you run into problems. Sometimes odin flashing back to stock is the only solution.
There is no best rom. What is the best for you will most likely not be the best for me. You should get an idea of what you are looking for base-wise. Try a cm or aokp and see if you prefer it over stock. Say you prefer stock, then focus on the roms that are based on stock builds.
Read the op thoroughly! Find one that has features you want. Then while downloading read the first few pages and the last 5 or so pages to get an idea about any bugs or other info.
The rom you choose will rarely have any bearing on signal stregnth. There are lots of modems you can choose from.
Finally, do NOT flash anything that was made for another device!
Good luck and welcome!

Welcome all member of Xda-developers forum
Nice to meet you

As far as modems go it is going to be a testing process. While most modem updates are aimed at better signal it is not always the cases do to area. So what gives me the best signal my not get you the best signal so try one and run a speed test use it for a day then do another speed test before changing the modem again until you find what works for you.

I'll take a leap of faith. Which recovery are you using. What method did you use to flash recovery. If I were you I would start simple and flash a touch wiz 4.1.1 ROM. Also, 2 things to remember before someone else tells you. 1 - CAPS aren't necessary for someone to read your post. 2 - asking for a ROM recommendation is generally discouraged due to what I like may not be what you want, per xda rules. For rom info just goto the development section and read. Find one you are interested in. Make a backup using your recovery method, follow guidelines set by developer and flash. Google and you tube are your friends when learning to flash. You might want to find a app backup utility like titanium backup to restore your apps after you flash your new ROM. Then read, read, and read some more and when you think your ready read again. Flashing wrong ROM can cause a bricked (locked and unusable phone). Also, if you were sorry for the caps you could have change prior to submitting post. Good luck.
