I got the same problem I have been looking for a long long time....I been everywhere..I am a newbie...I don't need any one to piss for me, but just because some of you find this easy to do and follow, it isn't for the newbie..We have to look up abbreviations and sometimes wish someone could piss for us..and i never seen an hboot .99 before and not one forum says to upgrade from .99 hboot...And like you say..I don't want to FK UP AGAIN ...so yes it has to be spelled out for me.
Sorry that dude is so smart and I am so stupid...But thanks for asking...because it is a question that you asked that got me in the right direction finnally...So I say again Thanks and sorry I am so friggin stupid...

I think everyone just needs to calm down....
But normally, you should look to see if theres a root for your phone by searching for the Android version, not the hboot version, thats probably why you haven't gotten any hits.
So having said that, you're on 2.3.4 right?

can u jus search yourself. You obviously aren't even trying. You're also in the same section where all the wonderful information is provided as well. If you can't find it, just give up and don't bother
We were all once new, but we took some initiative and looked for it ourselves instead of begging for someone to hold our hand. All the information is already provided, google it or read these forums.

So what your saying is.. You dont want help... You want someone to hold your hand like your mommy does when you go potty?
You want someone to take time out of their day to describe in detail to you what to do..... then your still not going to understand it. If its that hard for you to use the internet to search... then your not going to understand anything told to you here.
Know what an SPL or radio are/do? know which model of phone you have and the differences?

This is a great site, but us noobs are treated like...you know, noobs. lol
Noobs must be patient and see how it unfolds. Stay active reading the forums and keep noob questions to a minimum. Good thing is these guys have a sense of humor so my current approach won't offend anyone, at least my experience. I support these guys. Unfortunately, they have to deal with noobs every now and then. I've been interested in learning more about code simply because of the Android movement, time and life has made it a slow process.
I can't wait till these guys get Android over to TMOUS. I believe these system files may be the first step.
HEY DEVS! Entertain a noob question for a moment.
Some times you gotta yell
This will be fantastic for Android on the HD2 I believe, exciting times
Devs gotta eat too

The first step is getting linux installed and working with all the drivers for the device (radio/video etc..) once that's working properly devs can start the android tackle. These drivers don't exist for this hardware so it's a rather long process of developing customer drivers for linux.
From what I've been reading there's some decent progress in this but there's no step by step process to making this happen. The best thing you can do is wait and donate to the devs working on this project. They gotta eat too
root and recovery im looking safe way to do so

[Q] 2.3.3 to 2.2?

I'm a bit confused. I've been reading online for a while, and don't fully understand the ROMs available and what not. (I am a computer programmer, so I'm fairly tech savvy).
Basically, my evo shift has 2.3.3. I did a factory reset hoping it would back down to 2.2, but it did not. Now, I'd like to install 2.2 so I can root my phone. Is there a way I can do this? I've also seen a few roms (ie: evervolv) that are rooted. How can I install these (i'm using a mac).
Also, what do you guys recommend? Should I install a ROM, downgrade to 2.2 (how?) and root, etc?
Thanks!
You cannot downgrade to Froyo.. Sorry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218580

You can only temp root right now with 2.3 on the Shift. A factory reset just wipes everything and basically gives you a clean OS...it's like getting a new phone. The good folks at HTC should be releasing the the source code and kernel between now and EOL of the phone.

When ppl aren't sure what they are reading they have to ask. It may seem stupid to ppl who aren't new but to someone new, I can see it happening, especially if they don't want to brick their phone!
just my 1.5 cents worth
Yeah, I've read lots. I posted because it's good to have clarification.
I've read that you cannot "downgrade" to 2.2 from 2.3, but that doesn't necessarily answer my question if I can flash a 2.2 ROM..
I know 2.3.3 isn't rooted yet, but that doesn't necessarily mean I can't flash a ROM with an older, rooted version (very common in modchips for gaming systems.. If the company releases an update, you can usually re-flash the chip to the old update and be good to go).
So, it seems that if my phone is 2.3, my *ONLY* option is to temp root, is that correct (impossible to reflash, reprogram, etc)?

You need root and recovery (or the old hboot) in order to flash anything. So yes, until a new root method is found your only option is to temp root.

Questions about rooting

Just wanna say first that im glad to be back with an android ive been on the iphone and dont like it much. I just bought the infuse 4g and it comes with froyo, ive been reading a little and seen that not all the roots work for gingerbread 2.3.6 so my questio is should i stay with froyo? Is there roots that work for 2.3.6? If so where can i findthem im not completely computer stupid i jailbroke my iphone and stuff but theres alot more options for androids. I also wanna overclock it basically i just wanna screw around and see what all i can do with this phone so any help is appreciated thx in advance.
At this point I'd advise you to wait until our unofficial ICS becomes more stable. Root froyo and wait.
Root Froyo with super one click and you should be good. If you really want to overclock froyo there's a good kernel by Bedwa called Infusion (not Infusion-GB), I believe the latest version is 1.8 (haven't used froyo in ages). Sorry for the double post, my XDA premium modify button disappeared :/

(roms)

Hello guys. Hey so I'm from the Samsung phone side of flashing and am not new to this. But i do have one question . What rom can I use and still be able to go back to stock? Im thinking that if I stay away from the 1.8 ruu stuff I'll be ok? And if I do how do we return to 100% stock . Thanks ahead of time for your insight and help
No one can answer
you need to root using the root method, then install a rom that is based on 1.72 whatever. If you want to go back stock, use the 1.72 ruu.
But if I try the newer 8 series then I'm stuck on that
Yes, you're stuck, until bootloader is unlocked.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
any roms available
Hi,
I Have an Rogers HTC One x
Evita 1.73 ......
Bootloader Unlocked
Rooted and CWM install
I just followed JSLEnterprises method to debrand ...
now I have a clean HTC Vanilla XL .. as they say
Looking to try new Roms, are their any available that or compatible with my device, or I should I just patiently wait for flashable
why dont you visit the dev section and see for yourself?
didnt think CWM was working at all at the moment
Wow man chill i did and I just wanted clarification. And I never said I used cwm just talking about the ruu roms we have . Why is everyone so quick to flame and jump , some people like to be sure that's the case so they don't get in hole they cant get out of. Thanks for your concern but that's what forums are for to help each other
One of the devs just figured out how to downgrade

Well for one thing, don't use the 1.85 RUU that just got leaked today until root is regained for it. I'm running 1.82, though I'm hard pressed to find any improvement since I didn't have any problems beforehand (like the WiFi problems people were having on 1.73). Maybe a bit smoother? Idk.
That's my dilemma my phone runs great it has its moments but all in all good. But I like to tinker and its hard not to . I'm looking for some good reasons to and against . Any feedback is great thank you

I mean, some things might go wonky if you don't do a factory reset before and after flashing the 1.83 RUU and tried to root. I know that two people (one of them being me) lost our lock screen rings after running the root script for 1.83. Re-RUUing with wipes fixed everything.
Otherwise you really have nothing to lose by doing this besides maybe your warranty and whatever time you have to spend setting up your phone again (TiBu is a godsend)
I have paid for many apps.to save me time in the whole dev side. I have also.made a few eons for Samsung.infuse but never let them out because people are.crazy. I'm used to Samsung and all new to HTC
