i want to root my evo 4g, i have updated the software version to 4.24.651.1, the android version is 2.3.3, i see in the threads about ota's and other stuff that i have no knowledge of yet as i've never done this before, is there a thread explaining all of this and can i root with the new software update? or can i go back to old version of software? thank you anybody and all who help, i appreciate it.
Until HTC unlocks the bootloader, or someone finds an exploit, if you're s-on...you're out of luck...for now.
That sux, i was really looking forward to trying it out. Thank You Mattykinsx.

Have no fear, root will come one way or another.
It always does, for HTC phones anyway.
Is anyone actively working on it? I'm sure someone must be. And if so, how close are they? Wife wants her phone rooted, but it's updated to the latest. Unfortunately we didn't know beforehand that it would be a bad move.

Yes.
Don't know.
Asking for etas can get you shot 'round these parts.

LOL! Thanks for the warning. I'll be sure to watch out for that.

I'm guessing I should just install cursorsense and then sell it.
But is it possible just to install the Rogers RUU then everything goes smooth? Or will it brick?
Because if this guy has Cursor Sense and he can't update to the 2.1 rom (If that ever comes out) he's probably going to have some problems.
Thread moved to General
Nevermind, I figured it out.
Thanks for the "Help".
So what was the answer?

You really should have looked it up but...
Basically, the Samsung Vibrant runs Android 2.1
Froyo is Android 2.2
There are many new features in Android 2.2, including a flash player, so yes, you want it, no you don't need it.

Yes, I coud have but forums like this can explain these things better and if a rooted phone with galaxysrooter can just simply update when this thing comes out. Thank you for your time.
Just a bit offtopic but i want to know if the default browser in 2.2 has tab?
Or it is only faster than that of 2.1
I tried most of the browser and find that the default is the best, however it is missing tab browsing

So, you'd rather make somebody here do research and type up a dissertation for you when you could spend a minute to look up a much better explanation that's already been typed up? Is your time more valuable than that of others, or what?
are you this incompetent in "real life" as well?
seriously Timco - the suggestion for using the search function was the best response you could get, followed by the old adage "google.com".
it's better to teach you a lesson than give you an answer

Froyo is Tmobile speak for...
Fixed Rom On Your phOne.
So basically if you get it, your phone becomes locked to their stuff.
Timco, timco
It will help you in life if you are curious That said, the next thing is doing the research ........ that is what YOU need to do...... with Google, or other search engines you can get so much info on Anything it is amazing. Then you can come and ask the finer points of what you have found and get more from the informed techies that are in XDA.
i've had the atrix for a few weeks now, and been thinking about rooting for a while cause i pretty much root every android phone i get, but i'm tryna see if it's worth it right now or should i wait until the bootloader gets unlocked. I mean i'm VERY satisfied with the phone, just wanted to know if i should wait or not.
sorry if this question was already asked, i didn't see it in this section......

If you've rooted before you know the benefits. At any rate, use aRoot from designgears. He has an uninstall script if you ever need to use one to go back. I would root anyway. Plus the few custom "ROM"s we have are excellent to say the least.

What are you looking to do? It really depends on that. If you like the stock look use adeo v.02 by DG. If you want a gingerbread-ish theme with all the goodies there,use GingerBlur. I also hear he's working on a HoneyBlur that will have the Honeycomb theme.

i'm really looking for a rom that has a lot of customization features added, something like cm7, i kno that these roms are probably in beta so i'm not gonna be picky, i appreciate everything that the devs are doing towards making this device the best in the market(which it already is lol), i can't wait til they crack the bootloader!
I know this isnt for the Aria, but in the description it says that it may work for other phones/radios...
Unrevoked Forever
So has anyone actually tried flashing this on an unsupported phone such as the Aria? What were your results?
Just so its clear, I am NOT by any means suggesting anyone try to flash it on their Aria. Im just asking if anybody has already tried it.

Im not sure exactly when it was but the furthest I can trace it back was middle of 2010.
I know attn1 had s-off a while back with his aria... I wonder when Alpharev will support the aria. It's supposedly been in development sice September '10.
i thought unrevokedforever only worked on cdma?

Seriously though, did the alpharev team give up on the aria, or the whole project altogether?
im guessing the whole thing
why not try to get the s-off from attn1?

I'd love that, but I'm sure he has more important things to worry about than a phone he doesn't even use anymore. It really is a shame.

Yeah, I 'spose.
i contacted attn1 on twitter and he told me to contact alpharev on their irc channel, no success yet as im told they are in Europe and time differences or they are just not there maybe others can jump on as well to see if we can get any progress with it i dont really know but anything is worth a try
So, I am a little frustrated, and I am sure this has been answered but I cant seem to find the answer.(at least not one that makes sense anyway) . Why on earth are all the custom roms made for European variants of our beloved cell phones? I have spent tireless hours combing through the hundreds of youtube videos, and dozens of forum posts, to only find one single Custom ROM that works correctly for the Galaxy on5 SM-G550T1. (Thank you to czarsuperstar for giving us The Superstarz Rom, You did it right and finished the job.)
I know I am a noob and all and I definitely am no DEV, but could someone please help me and explain this to me like I am a 2 year old. Why is there no US variants of custom mods? Now I have looked up several different phones but to no avail, unless you own a samsung NOTE or S series your just out of luck. And NO, a rom that has no sound is NOT complete, just sayin.
I know that building one of these custom roms is not an easy task, god knows my dumb ass couldnt do it, but if your going to build something, please finish the job, I mean I would never give you a house I built, that was short a roof.
Signed,
Frustrated

No worries bro I've been porting a rom just for our g550t1 give me little bit because my job barely have time but it will get done. Also I still need to ask for permission befor posting. Just want to make sure everything is right
That is awesome! I really enjoy my on5 and I would really hate to have to buy a different phone. I know it is not high end but it has become part of who i am, so much that I bought a second one for myself just in case some tragedy were to happen to my beloved On5. I am looking forward to your work and hope to further my experience as, what I call myself, a tech geek in training. maybe someday I will be able to build a rom and repay all the ones who have helped me in my journey. I aspire to be half as smart as those of you who do build custom roms. Thank you for the work you are doing and I cannot wait to see what you have in store
Yeah this is the first phone i ever rooted, only new to this bout 2 months. But it is sad that i cant find a sweet ROM for G550T1 mPCS. But it seems that whoever can Master this model will be shiznit. But dying to get rid of this stock ROM.

Well since I posted this there has very little help in the way of getting a ROM made or even ported one for the G550T1, So I figured I would take upon myself to educate myself in the ways of the force. It hasnt been easy but I think I may be close to having an actually working ROM, That has sound and everything, imagine that, sound. Its only taken me what 2 months to gain headway. So, bro keep your head up there may be light at the end of the tunnel yet.

I am so close I just have a few quirks to iron out and I will have completed the 2nd custom ROM in known history for the American variant of the on5. I don't know if it works on the g550t2 but as soon as I am done I will let you know and you can test it out

Im not either but I have done alot of reading and a load of trial and error. I have dedicated every moment I am not at work to creating this ROM. So I hope it will be as badass as I imagined.
Well........I think i may have done it, I hope I have at least. All I need now is a Few Beta testers to give this baby a try and let me know what i could change or improve. Once that is in place I guess It will get released.....any takers?
My friend just handed the on5 off on me a couple days ago. I'm more than willing to blow it up in the pursuit of happiness.
