White bootloader screen.
If you see this it means it didn't find the right ZIP file.
Updating!
Root success.
First time seeing this pop up..
Waits here forEVER.
!!!
Just like new.
No Superuser app?! Did I do something wrong.
No problem! Didn't even ask for permissions.
Boot into Recovery.
Flashed new recovery.
New recovery up close.
Doing a Nandroid backup. A must!
That's what you end up with. Stock ROM, rooted.
Look a few posts down for Froyo update!

Starting Evo Froyo update!!!
Transfer the update ZIP to SDCARD
Wipe data and dalvik cache after reboot into recovery. To do this, boot into the bootloader (vol down+power), choose Recovery, connect usb to computer, run recovery-windows.bat
Choose Update from SDCARD
Ahhh so scary!
Success!
Boots just fine. Setting up...
FROYO HOMESCREEN!
What the, it automatically "Restored" my apps. Is Froyo getting smart?
New Market look. Automatic updating!
This is going to make the Market comments much more useful.
Buttons look different in Gmail.
HOLY [email protected]#K JIT is awesome.
Google Wave is probably the slowest, javascript-heavy site out there. It loads!
I don't remember being able to do this with the past browsers. V8 engine in the new Froyo browser.
Unable to Wireless Tether

I love the pictures
BTW, check and make sure wifi works, then go try the wireless tether for root users, I want to know if it works. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

That phone is so sexy, I want mine now!

Everything related to a sensor is not working (camera, accelerometer, light sensor for auto brightness). Roaming Indicator is always on.

^ Thanks for answering

sorry for my ignorance. In the rooting part of this thread what do you mean about the superuser app and the no permission needed?

Market Question
I've seen a lot of apps on the market say "doesnt work with froyo!" or "Doesn't work, N1"
Is this an N1 issue or a froyo issue, could someone find out?

Usually when you root your phone or install a custom ROM that incorporates root, you'll see the SuperUser app. That basically gives other apps permission to use root (or denies the root request). But in this case, the other apps can gain root as soon as they ask for it since the SuperUser app is missing.
I noticed that if I don't start using my phone as soon as I power it up, it goes through the "SPRINT -> 4G" startup sequence over and over again! Which is BIG a problem in its self but in addition to this issue, it plays through the external speakers (loud) even if the phone was on silent prior to being powered down, and EVEN if the headphones are plugged in!
Has anyone else had this issue?
PS: Is there a way i can de-sprint my EVO? I dont want any of this startup bs or their streaming nascar bull**** on my effin' phone
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Reboot loop? That's not normal, never had that happen to me. And yes the Sprint bootanimation is obnoxious as heck!
If you install a custom ROM (like the Froyo rom), then your phone would lose all the Sprint stuff (bootanimation still remains)

What issue are you talking about specifically?

It is worrying me that the screenshot that displays the version number is showing "test keys". Are protected apps not available through the market on rooted EVOs? I don't think that's been a problem on any other rooted device...

Fully rooted, SlingPlayer not showing up in the Market

I was so excited when I got the email saying that the SlingPlayer for Android is released. So I checked the Market and ... well it's not there.
My other friend's stocked Evo already purchased and installed SlingPlayer but I just can't seem to find it no matter what in Market.
I read somewhere that it was because the Market checks the OS build and such to make sure it's okay for that platform.
Anybody has any ideas?
P.S. I have mine fully rooted.

Well mine is the stock ROM that the full root supplied, with a "test key" after the build number.
Not sure if that's the cause or what but I guess if I really don't have no choice but to use a leaked APK then... meh.
Any ideas?

The quality is actually pretty bad. I have the HD sling, hooked up via component cables. Basically, there are no options to adjust any quality settings. This is what it looks like at home over wifi. And yes, I pulled my cablemodem power to make sure it was actually using the in house wifi.
Source is a 1080i image that looks awesome over my 5mb up connection, on my PC. On the phone, just barely worth watching at arms lenght.
Note the graininess on 1 & 2, and the TERRIBLE aliasing (jaggies) on 3.
Not worth $30, to me.

Well thanks guys, but I end up finding it somewhere the lights don't shine.
It looks okay with my Solo over Component at 720p.
Beats the heck out of the Touch Pro 2 though!

right..you're suppose to replace that 'test' ROM with a rooted ROM so the market works etc.

You usually have to try it a few times. Its a security measure to keep noobs from accessing the newest roms immediately. I had to do it at least 10 times when I first started.

Something is messed up. I tried to do it fast before the browser crashed and I hit it numerous times, and a whole bunch of my programs closed. Time to reinstall WinME yet again.

That was really funny.

Well its about time. But seriously, almost the entire Fascinate population who really wanted Froyo has pretty much put DL30, EB01, or EC01 on their phones already. Happy birthday to the unrooted crowd.

Gingerbread please.
Sorry. I had to.

According to Android Central it will be a manual update, nothing about OTA and that it will be ED01 which is the same as the leaked EC01

NO THANKS. They're actually BRAGGING about the bloat included in this update. Let us take tomorrow to thank/donate to the magnificent devs who have provided us with cleaner, quicker, flashier roms for our Fascinates. I for one, am so glad I didn't wait for this. Verizon's brand of ED01 = FU69

I would have gone that route a while ago myself, but it seems that every one of the Froyo Roms that the talented developers have put together has a list of things that don't work. I love the idea of dev sourced roms, and back in the old winmo days, I rarely ran a stick ROM. I'm not thrilled about getting a bloated ROM, but I don't need to explain to my friends and such that I can't receive MMS because I put some non factory ROM on or something else doesn't work correctly.
If there's a Froyo ROM (besides the V's tomorrow) that has %100 feature functionality, point it out man, maybe I'm missing something.

This process is very easy:
Go ahead and install Handcent sms and Handcent emoji plugin.
Among your apps there will be a new icon called Handcent SMS, go ahead and open it.
Press the icon in the upper right corner to make a new text message.
Put your finger on the lower half of the screen to start making your new message.
Push the menu button on your phone to bring up the Handcent messaging settings.
Hit the Insert smiley and next hit the Emoji icon.
Now you can go ahead and choose from a multitude of new emoticons for your Android phone
If this was useful why not.You can inform me if unable to work .

Just an update, I found these 'emojis' in my Instagram profile. I previously typed them in using my emoji enabled iPad 3rd gen & these are what appeared when I was using my G4. Normally on my other phone, they were just obnoxious blank squares.
