I agree. I'm very curious of how it'll run with its 192MB RAM. Veryyy interesting.

To think I just sold mine for a G2.

How did you even manage that?.... Didn't read?

Does this mean we will lose root? I love all the options and features of root but it would be nice to have a solid froyo rom.

nevermind. i think i have to unroot before i can do the update.

lol, I just nandroided back to CM6 this morning.
How do you guys think FroYo will run on the MT3G? I predict not well! I'm almost thinking I'd rather stay rooted on Donut or CM6 so I can at least overclock it.

Too bad I've got the 1.2.

CM6 = Froyo and it flys and works great. Why wouldn't the tmo froyo release run well? And what rom were you using that you had to nandroid to CM6? I'm confused by your post.

I predict we won't get the OTA update if we're rooted, and if we are it will most likely wipe out root access. I'm gonna need to reinstall that stupid amazonmp3 apk and unroot so I can get this stupid update.
If I don't like it I'm gonna SAPPIMG.nbh back to 1.5 so I can use flashrec to get amon_ra back and then nandroid back to 1.6.
Jebus, I feel like I'm speaking in tongues, lol.

most ROMs disable OTA updates.
and no way would I revert back to stock until it's confirmed that the official 2.2 doesn't somehow break root access.

Give the Devs until Thursday. and they will have the OTA with root to flash on our phones (if you want it). I, personally, won't go back to stock after tasting CM goodness!

Does anyone know where I can get the nbh file , and radio link to unroot? I have tried all the links on this site and none works anymore!

No radio update needed, the nbh file will take care of all of that.
Just copy this to the root of your SD card, boot into the bootloader (vol down + power), hit apply update and let it do it's thing.
DON'T restore anything through TiBa or mybackup until AFTER you've received the ota update. Should take about a day or two of the phone being on and connected to 3G.

The MT3G just doesn't have enough ram to support an OS this large. CM6 is good but still way slower than oem 1.6 w/androot and overclock.
I rooted a few months back by using sappimg and flashrec, then installed CM5 with mediocre results. I got sick of the instability and unrooted. Then I rooted the stock 1.6 w/universal androot, overclocked it, and left it alone for a while.
A week or so ago I backed up my oem 1.6 w/root, then I flashed CM6. 3 or 4 days ago I backed up my CM6 and went back to my nandroid of oem1.6 w/root. This time I ditched CM due to crazy bad battery life and the phone running way hot. I suspected it would have done better with compcache disable but I got sick of screwing with it.
This morning I nandroided back to CM6 to screw around with it some more, (wanted to disable compcache and give it another shot) but just now I'm going back to the oem donut again because froyo is inherently slow on a phone with this little ram, although disabling compcache helped a bit. Also the gallery is too slow to use.
Does that make more sense? Basically I'm indecisive and keep switching back and forth, lol.

unflash from cricket back to sprint

I have acquired an evo that was flashed to cricket.
I wiped everything, flashed to fresh 3.5, reflashed fresh 3.5 radios and pri. However it still says mycricket.com on lock screen and dialer. If I manually program it, it will make calls but I must use the area code. It will also receive texts but keeps giving error 78 and no data will work. Also the mobile network is stuck in the"turning on"position.
How can I get this phone to fully activate on sprint again? Thanks.
Ps the correct esn is on my account and the msl they gave me works.

Not positive here,,but I think if you run the Sprint RUU for 3.70 then reroot,,it may get things set right for you,,good luck

Unflashing a Metro Evo...

My friend recently got an Htc Evo 4g and he found out it was flashed to Metro PCS which he did not want, so is there anyway to flash it back to Sprint?

I have not.... was hoping for a simple process to flashing it back to sprint =/ but i'll take a look into that then.

I found that the Evo, my friend has is not rooted and has the 2.3.3 update, I've read to unflash the phone back to sprint i would have to flash a stock ROM that contains the Sprint ESN. but the problem is can a 2.3.3 Evo be rooted at least get CWM on it to flash the stock ROM? anyway around this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First I would find out with sprint if the esn is good.

an Evo flashed to MPCS is likely going to have a bad ESN and will not be able to be activated on Sprint again, hence the reason that phone was probably sold (or was stolen). However, that's not guaranteed. Definitely need to call up Sprint and check the ESN/MEID, or try this website http://www.checkesnfree.com/index.html, no clue if it really works though.
The ESN has not been changed on the device at all. The rom has nothing to do with the carrier. The phone can have whatever rom you desire on it and work on Sprint, MetroPCS, or Cricket if flashed properly. No ESN change necessary.
Btw, if that phone has the 2.3.3 update on it already then it IS a stock Sprint rom, and you won't be flashing other roms to that phone since the boot loader is going to be locked.
However, this should not stop you from being able to put the phone in diagnostic mode and flash the phone back to Sprint using QPST or some other phone flashing software.

Thanks for the response, and yes, the phone was sold to my friend which he later found out it was flashed to Metro PCS, and since the phone is on 2.3.3 the last option would be to call sprint and see if anything can be done.

Updating to Tmobile Gingerbread with rooted phone

Can anyone confirm that it is safe to take your phone to Tmobile and have them update the software on a rooted mytouch 4g? I just want to make sure I am not going to brick my phone...

I agree but i guess thats the price you pay to get the stock 2.3.4 right now

I spent most of the weekend researching what to do about this very thing. I was rooted but stock rom. I figured I needed a decision on what I was going to do before the OTA arrived.
After a lot of research I decided to go full S=off and install the Virtuous Unity ROM. I like Sense and it is a 3.0 ROM. If you wait for TMOB you'll only get 2.1.
EVERYTHING in this ROM works. None of the
"YOU GET THREADED TEXT MESSAGES!!! but the camera doesn't work"
Like in the bad old days of windows rooting.
I only wish I'd done this 6 months ago.

Yea every thing works but im wondering wit s off no root what can u do ?

Is it your intention to return to stock and run the phone unrooted with the 2.3.4 update or are you just concerned about having 2.3.4 on your phone? If you are looking for the most recent version of of Android OS, then MIUI is currently running 2.3.5... If you havent tried GenerationX mysense ROM, it is the newest update with bloat removed and i think there isnt anything broken with the faux's .7 kernel. Try it if you like stock, I bet you will like it.

I just want to get this straight, if someone can give an answer. My wife's phone currently has iced glacier and I want to go stock GB. If I take the phone to a Tmo store and ask for the update, it will take the phone back to stock and unroot? If so should I at least uninstall super user?

You could go to the store or you can download the same T Mobile sdcard update that Gr33nF0x posted http://megaupload.com/?d=N8XGHXJC (IF YOU ARE ROOTED YOU WILL LOSE IT)
1. Download the PD15IMG.zip file posted
2. Put file on the root of your sdcard (don't put it in any folder)
3. go to settings/applications make sure fastboot is unchecked (on 2.2.1)
4.power off
5. push and hold volume down and power till you get into hboot
6. it will scan file when its done it should ask you to update push volume up

The answer is yes. If you load the update, whether download the one on the forums here or update at T-mo you will lose root. No need to uninstall superuser, because the update will wipe all data.

Thanks guys for the quick response.

Why do you wanna go to being unrooted? There's rooted versions of the OTA here.

Its my wifes phone and dosent need to mod it just needs to work properly. If I was to go the route of updating it with the rooted update, would I just need to flash through CW? To be honest I don't have much expreince with this phone as you can tell by how old her current rom is. Atleast with my phone its pretty much unbrickable, on this phone I wouldn't know how to recover if it did. I figure if tmobile does the update they are responsible for it. Is someone willing to post the steps for me?

If you want T Mobile to do it go to your local store let them do the sdcard update witch is the same as the one I posted one page back (Thanks goes to Gr33nF0x for uploading it) or wait for the OTA

Cant do ESN swap on rooted evo 4g

Doing a chat with sprint to try and complete an ESN swap.
Evo 4g and IP4s.
so the agent attempted the esn swap and neither went thru so far.
Started working on the evo first.
Cant get the dialer to dial in the code:
##XXXXXX#
X's are replaced by a code they gave me.
Rebooted the phone, ect.
Rooted with latest fresh and using the stock dialer.
Looks like we will have to do a hard reset.
Any other tips?

Damn! Chat w sprint got disconnected.

Are you on a sense rom?
My knocked up EVO

You need to be on a stock sense sprint rom to be able to use all of those dialer codes.

Thanks guys!
I am on the latest Fresh rom.
Can you please direct me to a good sense rom?
TIA!

Just use a rooted version of the latest stock rom.

this made me laugh. yeah just use a Sense rom.. You wont be able to do this on a ASOP

ONLY SENSE has the EPST app required... As I recall it.
Other phones don't have it because its probably copyrighted.

It's actually because it's much more complicated to add than you think.
They were working on trying to incorporate this functionality into AOSP [the same way the Nexus S 4g does]...still not done. [Not sure if it will ever be, I heard the person that was working on it is on a hiatus]

Any ideas as of why my EVO wont let get into the data programing screen dialing ##3282#? I can get DIAG MODE (##3424#) to come on, but the ##3282# wont work anymore.
I'm running "barebones_evo_4g_467_deodex_012112_signed.zip" witch is a stock rooted rom I installed earlier and cant get the dialer to get me the ##3282# screen...
...any ideas as of why?

It had always been possible to do an esn swap through sprint.
