I was running rooted froyo and tried to install but after install and rebooted system i got stuck at red M logo. Couldn`t get back into recovery. Sbf and back on rooted froyo. Not sure where i went wrong. lol

maybe this will also fix the compass problems we've been having.

I think it's total BS that Motorola spent so much effort blocking tethering and failed to implement a basic thing like stable 3g or a working compass.

Google Sky Map is fixed. Happy days are here again!

right now i have a vzw droid-x running the alltel rom which is android 2.2.1
the reason i run this is because i do not have a vzw account and i can use "use gps satelites" and get my gps position still.
if i wanted to do that with a vzw rom i would have to activate phone.
anyhow long story short.....
is this based off a vzw rom.....would i be able to get my gps position by using ONLY "use gps satelites"?
btw i am rooted using the "superoneclick 2.1.1"
any info would be great.
thanks

updating to 602?
Im running 2 part gb odexed on top of rooted stock froyo and my radio shows 12. Does anyone know if I have to go back to froyo to do this 602 update? Or can I just unfreeze my frozen apps and update. (although everything is great). Thanks for any help.

Is there an official list of what the update fixes? Swype has definitely improved but the network connection is still randomly dropping on my DX

Or a camera that can save the resolution setting.
No idea how they didn't fix that one. They even acknowledge knowing about it and had it reported to engineering.

I am running 2.3.3 4.5.596 rooted 2 zip update. How do I update to 602 without screwing up my root ?

I'm not sure why you think you can't use the GPS without activating the phone. Unless I'm missing something there should be nothing preventing you from using the GPS without activating.

its a known problem.
im glad you said "shouldnt be"
one more thing:
make sure you read complete thread before you reply or you will look silly

Camera app still reverts back to WS mode after reboot or after you close the app via app manager or task killer, etc.

No, it appears that this is only available for users who have software version of 3.30.651.2
"Note: This update is only for newer devices with initial software version of 3.30.651.2. If you are running a different version than this, you will not receive this update and do not need it.
This update fixes power cycling issue when accessing the camera through some applications, like Qik, on devices running version 3.30.651.2 only."

I downloaded it a while ago. It's 6MB and when I installed it, I got the ! With the triangle. So I reported and never updated it. I'm using Unrevoked with Azrael 2.3 ROM.
So no update for me. Even though it still asks me to install it, I won't.

Does it still have HBOOT 2.02?
I'll root it and post it when I get home from work in 4 hours.
if you're getting this update it sounds like you already have a newer evo that is a bit more difficult to root anyhow. unrevoked doesn't work on the phones that seem to be getting this update to begin with, i doubt it will break root any harder honestly.
i'm installing it, my phone reboots when running qik and i can't get root from unrevoked as it is.
i got notified by my evo today about the update, i chose against installing it too.
i installed 3.29 ota, rooted via unrevoked then used the update zip to get to 3.30 even though apparently we should not have been doing so.
update works great, qik now works, and the flashlight toggle on my toggles widget no longer reboots the phone either.
Same here tried update , Running clockwork and I have Azreal 2.41 running. After reboot Triangle.
Cold boot back and update failed.
Maybe someone would be so kind as to post this in a ZIP.
Thanks
Gin.

Voicemail Update in Nonsense ROM

Hey all,
So I flashed the Evo(Shift)Nonsense ROM and I love it so far except that I can't get rid of the damn mandatory update for voicemail. I'm just curious if anyone has been able to fix this. I've been searching teh interwebs for a while and found various things to flash, but nothing seems to have stuck yet...would appreciate any help to be found.

You just need to download the newest version; however, even trying to get that on the stock ROM provides no proper upgrade.
Anyone have the newest APK?

You can't get it to upgrade? I had issues til I went from wireless to have it search for upgrade then had to go back to 3g for it to d/l and install..I have no idea why I couldn't look for an upgrade w/o wifi and no idea why it would only d/l on 3g but it works..
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
It's only been happening with me on this ROM, never had a problem when I tried out Evervolv. I finally figured out that you also need something like sprint_app_updater.apk, which is also in the app folder and I pulled from a nandroid, but it still won't. It downloads the upgrade fine, but then can't install it, which I suppose is one step better than the "general failure" I was getting before.
Solved!
Hey, so I at least fixed my particular problem, hopefully it can work for other people. I took Sprint_App_Updater.apk from an older nandroid and then had to push it via adb into /system/app. After a reboot the app updated all correctly.

Hero wireless tether problem.

Ok. My buddy at work has a hero running 2.1
I rooted his phone using the z4 root, installed recovery using rom manager.
main reason for wanting to root was to be able to use wireless tether, so I installed it but can't get it to work at all.
app starts fine but when you hit the button to start tethering it says its starting but it won't send or receive any info, and I can't detect it sending out any kind of wireless signal.
Thought busybox might be the issue so I installed the newest version from the market. 1.18.somethingsomething.
Didn't work, still nothing.
googled the issue I'm having and can't find a fix. I'm using the newest version from the market, even tried a old version 1.61 I believe.
I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help?

when you started the app did you get a window asking for superuser permissions? if not then you are not rooted. I know that some of the carriers recently pushed an OTA update that blocked z4root's rooting method.

yes, thanks for asking, i should have stated that in my original post. I apologize. currently i have adfree, root explorer, and titanium all running with no issues on his hero.
if your on a sense 2.1 rom you need to use wireless tether v1.6 from google code this is due to the kernal in sense 2.1 roms if your on 2.2 or above v2.7 should work on almost all computer os's except ubuntu 11.0.4 due to a kernal issue. but usb tether works fine on ubuntu. also u can try wireless tether pre 3.0.14 from google code witch will work on almost all roms except for kifno sense roms and liquid sense roms. just please make sure if your on a 2.1 sense rom be sure to go to settings settup mode and select hero cdma then go down to lan settings and enable routing fix for hero.
if your wanting to connect to a ps3 i have a guide buried somewere in general that tells you how to set up a brdge

LOL....The Ad Hoc connection should still be present, just can't connect to the internet. I know this because I am a dope and always start my tether without starting my 3g and realize what I did when I can't open up a webpage. It's more then likely what Bierce was saying with the different Wireless Tether versions between 2.1 & 2.2 or a setting / script on the receiving device. With my Nook running CM7, by default it can connect to Ad Hoc, but running Honey Comb I have to change out the wifi supplicant to switch from infrastructure to Ad Hoc, and with my old iPaq I had to go into wireless / settings and enable Ad Hoc in the list of supported network types.

Haha no worries, ya the link u mention is what I source from, just ripped out all the Verizon stuff, and some of the other annoying apps that most time drop. Other than that, the system is exactly the same as the Rom you linked.

The only difference is some of the app apks are removed, and will not start (some of them have background services that put a little extra stress on the system).
It's the same kernel however, the battery life is much better on the custom kernels - hopefully the source will be released soon for this cut and imosyon/adrynalyne can do something more with it to get battery life back up.

Did you do a full wipe and install the radio from the linked page? I didn't put step by step instructions because I figured by this point that would be pretty spelled out. If I need to, I can update the OP with more explicit instructions.

I did a full wipe, and this is not the first time the market acted up for me. It use to do it on my Eris, Dinc and now the thunderbolt. But I can install through the website which makes this just strange to me. I was using Flyweight Final with the 2.5 radio and had no issues but updated to current radio that came with the official MR2 update. Right now it doesn't matter what radio or rom I use I can not download from the android market on my phone.
Any ideas?

Hmmm.... only thing I can think of to check is a flaky mobile data connection if you are using that...... if you have it available see if you can link your thunderbolt to a known WiFi spot with the new OTA radio and access the market from there. I don't think it's software-based as I'm currently running the exact same rom on my phone and can get to the market in both WiFi and mobile data situations.
Good luck trying to use MMS on this. I'm working on a safe and useful debloat and to do it properly, it takes some time. I'll have it posted soon enough.

My ThunderBolt did the same thing for me with the non-Debloat that Jcase/RetroKid provided (again which none of these updates have some of the features listed on the official support PDF from Verizon)
MyMarket wouldn't even show the ThunderBolt in the account settings/devices list
it was just, gone, I synced it 3 times and still it didn't show up, i tried to download stuff, couldn't, so i was angry enough about the problems i started with and just flashed my MR2 nandroid from back in June and i'm back to normal.
this update was NOT ready for primetime, nor does it have the desktop app, or new App menu with the tabbed browsing, the same menu found on the Incredible 2 (which is Sense 2.1) when I confronted the devs about the rom not having some of those features they called me a liar and said well that was a Verizon typo, this update just fixes the reboot issues that is all " SO I have made a promise to myself to never deal with those bung-holes again. I absolutely hate Devs that think there either king of everything in this area or they think they can remove stuff and people won't notice or they can edit anything they wish and you have to put up with what THEY want. alot of good features and apps are lost that way.
anyway, that ends my rant
maybe i'll try this one but since its also provided by jcas/RetroKid I don't expect it to be any different...
anyone finding difference btwn this and bamf 1.8.6?

My question is why does it matter if we have root? God forbid we want to remove Verizon Crapps and feel like we own our phones. It's the same with AT&T not allowing any type of unlocked phone on their network.

If you remove the Verizon apps, that's less of an opportunity for Verizon to make money off of you. They also talk about security issues, which I can actually see a point to it. After having had my father destroy a computer by deleting system files and registry keys, I believe that root access in the hands of the technologically illiterate could be devastating.
However, that's why they can claim that warranties are voided, because it was something we did to mess it up. Frankly speaking, it's business. They pay people to develop these apps, and the OEMs pay people to make the user interface, which I'm sure is why they like to lock the bootloaders. In other words, companies like to make money, which means they're going to try their hardest to make sure they have every opportunity to.
I posted in the other forum too but maybe I can get some answers here too...
So.. I was on stock 2.3.3 rooted with locked bootloader. Took the OTA without unrooting and now I seem to be on the new 2.3.4 with root. Root checker app confirms it, how do I verify this?
Edit: I used titanium to remove a system app and used open garden and was prompted with the superuser screen

A big part of it is that the carriers don't wanna receive calls from people who did something stupid after rooting, and want repair/replacement.

So am I to understand that if I use root keeper when I've used the zergrush method then I'm okay?

If you are rooted then update OTA you usually keep root access.

In preparation for 2.3.4 I flashed a stock 2.3.3, rerooted, then went ahead with the OTA. It kept root but for some reason my signal and wifi indicators are now a constant gray. Everything works fine so I guess its nothing major right?

I have the same issue. Called Verizon to see if it was part of the update, they called Sony "who could not tell" but said "if everything is working, dont worry about it."
I had the Verizon 2.3.3 firmare, and rooted with zregRush. Before the OTA I read that it would fail with root, so I unrooted the phone. Started having a couple issues, so minor I do not remember what they were, but ended up using flashtool to reflash the stock image I downloaded. Everything was fine then, my icons were turning green when connected, and all. Then did the OTA, and everything is working but the icons for wifi and 3g never go green. Is there any more word on this? Is there any futher word on zeregRush rooting?
I have the doomloard linux script to to the root process, and I tried to run the commands instead of the script, I found that I was unable to create or pus files to the device, so I tried to use the sdcard, but when running the zregRus program all I get is access denied!

Sorry to quote your whole reply. I'm currently mobile. I have the same greyed out issue and turns out a lot of people are having this issue with 2.3.4 on other phones. Galaxy Nexus for exmaple. They are all using stock like most of us with R800x. My Wifi and 3G do work flawless but its annoying because I can never tell if its lost signal or not.

Check G-Talk, if that can't connect, that's the issue (I had the issue on a non-rooted version, too)

Same here. Greyed out.

I checked G-Talk, and no it can not connect to the server. Is this an issue I can fix(reload app, factory reset??) or is this something in the update?

To my knowledge, something in the update, I tried flashing latest Gapps, and still have the same problem

BTW I have locked bootloader, never messed with that! Did root, 2.3.3 also had an issue were I used flashtool to load the R800x_3.0.1.E.0.88_Verizon.ftf so I guess I am not quite sure if I was running a stock image before I did the OTA to 2.3.4?

If you ftf'd back to stock, you were on a unrooted device when you updated, so root isn't the problem
