My first root I did it with a youtube video so I wouldn't mess up

depends what your config is, don't accept the recent OTA's if you haven't yet. www.unrevoked.com is all you need to know for rooting.

Yeah unrevoked was really easy. Now I am a flashaholic, and you will be soon too, lol.

A great place to start is to read the stickies and faq's, rather than posting a whole new post to ask something that's already been asked thousands of times.

Hey, thanks captain obvious.

nice way to burn yourself... but yea check the sticky that says rooting and noob stuff... that might help... imo... lets hope you can read a little better or your gonna end up bricking your phone...

I didn't burn myself. I just like to point out this forum is for help. If yo don't want to help don't waste your time posting.

This forum is actually for general discussion. The Q&A forum is for help. Though I suppose help can qualify as "general discussion" it's still pretty disingenuous to think that this forum is more suited for helping than the Q&A forum is.
One thing I've found is that people that don't want to put any effort into doing research/experimentation themselves (before asking for help) are the ones that tend to end up with broken phones or just really weird phone issues because they simply follow directions without having any understanding of what they're actually doing.
So ultimately you are burning yourself, but not necessarily in quite the same way as implied in one of the above messages.

by burned yourself, he meant that people are even less inclined to help you now, but you are being a child if you expect a person to type the whole process of rooting just for you on this thread because you are too lazy to read the dam stickies wich already explain it far better and in much detail, its on you friend....next time if you want people to help you, dont act like a spoiled brat

EVO 2.3.3 hdmi out

I'm curious what the steps are to unlock the current bootloader that is on an EVO White I just received from insurance. My previous EVO had the charger port unattach, which I hear is pretty common, had it for only four months, but I was able to mirrior netflix and hbogo via a program I paid 5 dollars for on the market. The program is called hdmi out and is no longer on the market. Please help!!

If you had spent more than 30 seconds, you would have found over 80 threads asking about root for 2.3. You cannot root it yet. End of conversation. Next time, search.

A simple question, a simple answer, 5 seconds.. End Of Thread!!

Looking at the top 10 topics in this forum 3 of them are about 2.2.3 root not counting yours.
It is hard to be helpful when you clearly didn't take the time to find the answer on your own. Sorry for being harsh. A new day another question about 2.2.3 root........
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

To be fair to the newcomers, I don't see why this forum can't add a sticky post that says 2.3 OTA can't be unrooted. Would make it a lot easier for newcomers and make it completely inexcusable to start a new thread asking for 2.3.

Wow.. 3 posts and not one helpful word in the slightest.. Honestly.. what do you gain out of being a total prick?? It's just to hard to pass a topic up regardless if your any help or not vs upping your post count eh?? Cuz that's all your doing.. posting nonsense that has no meaning to anyone but yourself since it gives you a stiffy to be able to let someone know you feel superior to them by knowing pointless information..
2.3.3 has no root yet.. even the white version.. Sorry, but join the many of us waiting patiently for this to happen. I feel your pain though as I had root before and also received a replacement. Hopefully soon we'll be back to our flashing ways..
There.. how ****ing hard was that.. jackass........

ICS and Jellybean Rom Discussion Thread

I figured I would open this thread due to the all the hooey going on and also the clogging up of Kushdeck's and JaredtheGreat's ICS thread no longer on here, and with preludedrew not posting his roms on XDA. Any questions or issues are welcome and anyone that can help,can feel free to assist. No links will be posted here. Please follow @preludedrew on Twitter for updates and downloads. Please do not post links unless they are your own. Lets keep this thread nice and friendly and please follow the rules of this forum....that being said Thank You!

I've been running the rom for the last 24+ hours. I'm really impressed with how stable it has been. It has some issues mainly dealing with the gallary/camera and setting photos as things etc. but still, for it's alpha stage it's not bad.
I applied the car-o-dope settings and it seemed to calm it down a bit also. These roms should get real fun here soon!

Agreed and the battery life is outstanding. The gallery seems to settle down after a while, but I've been using Quickpic as a picture gallery and makes setting wallpaper and cropping much easier...it works well with ICS and I've gotten no fc's using it. Its free in the market and is a great alternative to stock gallery

You don't have to be a twitter fan, it takes 2 seconds to create an account and search who you want to follow, and check it periodically...keep it as an app on your phone so you don't have to keep signing in all the time. I recommend following @kushdeck as well because he posts test builds not available on XDA also, actually he just posted his alpha 4 build with working camera a little bit ago...

Yeah, I love how everyone was freaking out about a link being posted without even knowing whether or not Drew would be against it. Download links are visible to everyone with an internet connection... there shouldn't be a restriction on posting them.

Except noobs flash ROMs and ask repetitive questions all of the time.. Why should we care if someone foolishly flashes a ROM they know nothing about? In any of the other threads, users ask questions which are 9 times out of 10 answered by other users, rather than the devs themselves.

So we couldn't have a thread with a link in it in the development section because the OP wasn't qualified to answer questions, so you open a thread that serves the same exact purpose WITHOUT a link to the ROM? If you think I'm here to troll you are sorely mistaken, I merely am posting my thoughts in a thread, just as you are doing. I fail to see anything I've said or done to make myself more of a troll than you or anyone else here.

You call him an A-hole for posting a thread in hopes of clearing clutter from other threads, and I'M the troll?
The thread was perfectly at home there. It is a ROM in active development made by a dev who no longer posts here; but he has no problem with his work being posted alongside proper credit. The OP posted it to give room for development conversation.
There are multiple threads set up like this.. the CM threads, for example. After being posted, the poster usually never comes back and all questions and concerns are answered by users like us.
Posting that thread in the development section gave room for people who create mods to share their work, as well as to discuss different ideas regarding the fixing of certain bugs.

Sorry not trying to gripe or be rude but its ridiculous that there's this many threads about the same thing. they all relate to the same thing. just because one person posts about a kernel, doesn't mean another person has to post about the modem or the tar.

He's right, the posts about the OTA on EL30 just started this week. There WERE posts about EL30 being worked on in early January. I don't see the need to complain about a few OTA threads...besides, existing threads usually get way off track and keep rising to the top for topics not even related to the original title.

Sorry for the tirade, I'm not butthurt (eww), I just tire of people putting people down because they are trying to help (which yes, I did do, and shouldn't have). But at least it's been said.

Understand your frustration - all of those with the bad luck of having or OTA'ing to MF3 are going bonkers. . .Really don't have any clue since this appears to be one of the truly hard fixes (oops... exploits) to find.
As to friendly Android folks, well actually there are. Even here . OK, you are right that XDA is different. Some threads are rather prickly and if you jump in with a "stray" comment they jump in and flame and complain.
But other threads are more mellow; and you can see the same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, question asked again and again and someone will politely (more or less) answer these queries or refer the questioner to the right spot. . . So, that's not unusual. (sorry, the hot/repeat question these days seems to be . . . .MF3 ETA! :crying
But all this in not unique to Android. In the Apple support pages, which I frequent every now and then for my MAC issues, I found some rather brusque replies and non-helpful at that! It's not a function of OS. . .it's people and organizational/group culture.
XDA is a real mix of intense, "bleeding-edge" developers and users, who push their software and hardware in very dynamic ways, but who also can be edgy -and not in a good way.
XDA also has "normal" folks, who drop in for help, or add something they like and (unfortunately) sometimes even want to share it with others .
Finally, XDA has people (some with surprisingly high numbers of posts!) who have hardware or software problems and need help, but are also clueless. Sometimes folks in this last group are in need of help AND they are impatient or even demanding of the reply posters. . . that's kind of not a good approach!
I guess that makes XDA sort of like real life, it all depends upon who you meet!
There is no doubt that XDA can be a bit off-putting if you don't connect in the right way for the particular thread. but is that happens, don't worry about it! The next thread will be more helpful or understandable, or maybe even friendly . . .
Good Luck

It's something most of us had to learn on XDA, and it's usually the first lesson. Never ask for ETAs for anything. Never ever ever. There are some that get very bent about it, and in some cases understandably so, since everything done on here is done by donation and lots of thankless free time.
I'm no coder, I'm a leech, so I just try to help out where I can. I'm waiting for the MF3 bootloader unlock too, and it'll come. We just have to watch the forums and be patient.
Also, welcome to Android. I think you're going to find that you like it here, this one bump in the road aside

I appreciate it. Ya I'm so glad to have gotten rid of my crapy apple. Am able to do so much without mods that was needed on the iPhone to even do some. Can't imagine how cool it will be to get a custom rom. Hopefully soon

Sorry man, there are a lot of friendly and helpful people here. Just some etiquette to learn as many of us have been here a long time. The best thing you can do is read, read and learn. You'll always get a helping hand if you follow that. Welcome and the best to you!
