lol u r probably right

I think... this problem about the MF3 should be a sticky... Showing maybe also a screenshot on where they have to look to see which version is on the phone before going any further, will be very handy and prevent a lot of bricked devices..

It is in the stickies. It's all over the forum. People just don't read.

Personally I'm a fan of darwinism when it comes to the devices. If you aren't smart enough to read all the materials, you should suffer the consequences. But I'm not necessarily a nice guy sometimes

devs have been awfully quite

I think sommthing big is coming. It's been a week since anything big even roms! Im confident in this community and yesterday there was an unlocked boitloader topic that was removes because it gave to.much info. How often does that happen. I didn't get t read through all of it because once I was done with page one it said it no longer existed. Im super excited let's rejoice

I been jizzed changed and rejizzed again. I think the reason with the holding back of info is for the bounty. Hopefully im right and that's why and im.not wrong and notta damn thing going on

This is weird.. -_-

One of the reasons it has been quite is because there is an update soon. Kind of pointless to make a rom (or new version of an existing one), and have to redo it again to make it work with the new update.
Also that topic was deleted because the op was posting an IM convo that the developer didn't want being made public. It didn't really prove anything conclusive.
It also doesn't help that devs have to make a bunch of worthless posts like this one so we can reply our post in the dev area.
I have info for 2 different threads in there, but since I'm too new, I can't respond. Eventually, I'll get the minimum junk post quota done, and can tell them what the nvflash method described will and will not do. Till then, I'll just keep playing around silently...
Your right but even after the Op deleted the convo the whole.thread was removed. Im just saying a hint of optimistic outlooking

There is nothing wrong with optimism, I agree; however, until there is an actual way we have to be careful because they don't want moto finding out and then quickly fixing it.
The real risk is moto blocking methods we use to gain root, or to back flash to an older SBF...

Have you tried talking to the devs on irc? They're still hard at work just not posting on the dev section because it all gets jumbled and messy

drock212 is correct, the devs are hating the dev subforum at the moment because of all the useless posts and information. If you jump on IRC and STAY QUIET UNLESS YOU HAVE SOMETHING USEFUL TO SAY you learn a lot about whats going on, as well as learn some new things about how your phone works. That's what I've been doing for the past few weeks and it's helped a lot.

Rooting.

I have had my Evo since Jan ish, I have followed a lot of xda threads and think its finally time to root my Evo. How do I start, where do u begin?

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.

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.

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........

This is what's happened,
Rooted ATT S4, installed twrp 2.5.0.2,
Installed Sho 1.5, used Loki doki
I was getting the costum screen with the padlock warning when booting. All was well.
Decided to try beta 4.3 rooted, now the padlock screen is gone and I get regular boot screen. Download screen says Samsung official.
I'm still rooted and booting OK.
Uninstalled and installed clean rom ,
Flashed lokidoki, still rooted and boot screen still stock.
Is this normal?
If this is in the wrong place pls move it and if this s old news delete it.

Read the "pinned" threads in the General and Q & A sections. Make sure you follow the linked posts in those threads for important information you need. After you finish reading them, you should have a good foundation to get you started. Good luck.
This is not a make my phone cool site. If your not willing to put in the time to research your better off stock

There's plenty of places that you can get started in such as xBeerdroiD's "Ultimate Guide" that you can read to get started. However, as others have stated... posting your phones information such as model, baseband,etc would greatly increase your chance of getting a helpful reply outside of general assumptions.
