Locked as in cant even get into it... or locked like 90% of phones from carriers are to only use their services?

Please move this to Q&A forum, this should not be in dev.

What's best way r00t for new Evo

Well I've read through the wiki and I'm still lost... what's the best way to root a new Evo for 004 hardware? I've been told Unrevoked is good but I've also read threads that it doesn't work with 004. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I heard they updated unrevoked to root 004.
Search the dev section. You will find the root guide.

it is not the easiest way.. but it will teach you want you are doing at each step and why.
uses unrevoked and amon_ra
these are solid.. and will be great for future mods.

Unrevoke is the easy way off rooting, but make sure to have hboot drivers install( windows only) before rooting

No worries
I use Unrevoked all the time and it works flawlessly on Hardware 2 through 4 phones. Just make sure you download the latest version at:
http://unrevoked.com/#evo
Other methods as mentioned above work too but can be somewhat complicated. In the end, they all use Unrevoked to achieve S-OFF.

Add one more vote for Unrevoked.

This is what I used and I have 004 hardware.

Another vote for Unrevoked. For the phones it supports it's as easy as it gets!

Unrevoked FTW

Awesome... thanks for the reply everyone... I'll hit the Thanks button for each of you once I get to my PC later.... Just one more question... what's the best way to unroot and get back to stock Rom if I need to go for a warranty exchange in the future? Thanks again...

Unrevoked is the noon way so if your unfamiliar with adb and such, that is the method for you sir

Run the Unrevoked S-ON tool and then run a current RUU. Easy as pie.

Don't use the noon way of rooting. You will still be a noob after.

the all in one root method. search the dev section for it. very easy & simple.

Ha... I'm familiar with Adb, have Android SDK setup on ubuntu and windows, but the sheer amount of info here for the Evo, its overwhelming, a lot of defunct procedures and conflicting info, I just didn't want to start down the wrong path. I'm seriously considering getting the Thunderbolt, I'm in the 30 day trial with Sprint and although I like the Evo with all the development here, the Thunderbolt is looking
awfully appealing... Cheers to everyone for your assistance...

[Q] Lucky?

Whilst out walking the dog I noticed a htc phone facedown on the pavement, there was no body else about so I picked it up...
Turns out to be a wildfire with vodaphone sim and security gesture locked.
What should I do?

Is the phone rooted or not ?!
If not just Hold Volume Down + The power button to boot into hBoot menu, then choose clear storage and choose yes, this will hard reset the phone and it will be as new, enjoy it
LUCKY!! -.-

Hi, no doubt its rooted. Yeah I know how to wipe it but didn't know if it was blockable by the carrier. Thibk its pay as you go to be honest!
I have a rooted desire myself but might give it to the misses

[Q] Sim Unlock ?

Can the T-Mobile HTC Mytouch 4g be unlocked to used with different carriers with out having to go to those paid for service sites ?
if yes how ?
if not, whats the best recommended site and cheapest .
Thanks in advance.

I am not quite sure what exactly you are saying but yes, you can get it simunlocked and just use a different sim card. Use the search bar next time, ok?

You cannot unlock it for free. You are having such a good model mobile phone and don't risk it with free unlocking services. You can try safe unlocking sites. For example, You can try with www.prounlocking.com this iste provides accurate unlocking codes at affordable cost with step by step guidance on unlocking process.

That totally didn't sound like blatant advertising lol.
Check the stickies in the development section dude, you'll find your free method there. Just remember that it's not always a simple solution and anything you do to your phone is at your own risk. Fortunately instructions around here tend to be very helpful

By the way, you can unlock it for free. Whenever you root it, & flash Engineering bootloader, you can unlock it with gfree, in fact if you follow the guide for Ultimate s-off, it explains all those commands in gfree for locking & unlocking whatever you choose.

So rooting doesn't unlock it? Interesting. I'm thinking about taking mine to Afghanistan, using an Afghan chip in it.

no rooting doesn't SIM unlock the device. You must do that via a ./gfree command.

I've been pretty unhappy with tmobile lately. So I suppose if I have to ask them then so be it, but is there an easier way to do it without calling a guy? Or paying money? I kind of thought rooting it would be the same as unlocking it.

no, if you unlock with T-Mobile, you don't need to pay...just make sure you've been with them for at least 2 months

Just in case u missed it before, look in the development section, at the sticky about "True Permaroot & Ultimate S-off" , & follow that guide, and you will have what you are looking for. It don't get much easier, or free-Er!

Reuploading AAHK

So, many people may be aware that att1n's thread about the hack kit (or atleast the OP with links and other vital bits) was edited so there are no links to the hack kit. My question to you guys is (with permission from the Mod's of coursez) is could I reupload the Hack Kit?
Cheers in advance!

I'd say no, if attn1 wanted it to remain, he would of left the links.
Sorry.

I wouldn´t do that. That is not your work and cannot use it and publish it. WHAT U HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, is that the Hack Kit is not discontinued, but posted in attn1's web sit. attn1 is done with XDA and so the decision of moving out. You have to respect people's decisions.
