DONATION FOR Root v1.47.651.1 - THREAD CLOSED

This thread is closed.

new evos come with this installed?? wheres your source on that, first i heard of that.

Id say that where ever people are getting the phone now, the reps there will install the updates before they give it to you.

My source is me. My friend got his from Best Buy this morning, he asked me to root it for him. Then I discovered v1.47.651.1 on it.
My EVO is currently smashed, I am awaiting a replacement. I pray my replacement doesn't come with that version on it but I'm probably SOL on that.

There are still NEW Evos that are coming with stock ROM. I bought another Evo last Thursday from the Sprint website and got it yesterday. It has the 1.32.651.1 firmware and 003 Novatec panel.

I have no doubt that is true. But it's simple logic to figure that eventually those older versioned phones will run out and get replaced by the new v1.47.651.1.

I thought about offering $ as well. Which I may be willing to contribute. But I have the fear that it will cause the free flow of ideas between the devs to stop if they think another dev will crack it first.
They deserve the $, no doubt. But I'm hoping they would be willing to work together and split it up. If that's the case, lets see how high the pool can get.

That's an excellent point. Perhaps it should be donated to the xda forums instead.

Sure, it's possible. But he said the guy handed it to him in the box, and the plastic protector was still on the phone screen.

Can you not just downgrade to a previous version then root? (like what you had to do at the beginning if you already got a phone with the first OTA?)
And since you didnt specify that it needed to be full root or NAND unlock.. you could just use this:

Goes good with that avatar of yours. Want to add to it?

You can count me in for $20, mine had the first OTA already installed.. but I didnt read up good enough and thought root wouldnt be possible so I just said the heck with it and installed 1.47.651.1.. Loving this phone but I know ill love it more rooted with a custom rom..

Sensation is Here!!

We need to get these Bootloaders Unlocked & start Rooting these babies now. I just picked mine up @ T-Mobile and checked Bootloader, it is Ship S-ON. Tried going into Recovery and it gave me that dirty Triangle with Exclamation Point.
Lets get this Party Started Everone!! DEVS PLEASE HELP

I'm with you, hope to see some work get done in this device! I just ordered mine by phone and very excited to get it .

A simple search would of showed the OP that there are threads SIMILAR to this one and he shouldn't of started this mess!!!! Now we have pages and pages of pointless threads in this forum so actually the link to that video is totally necessary

Quit trolling. OP was simply excited about his purchase.
While I agree with ya'll that these threads need to stop, that isn't a reason for you all to troll each other.

i laugh because i told those guys long ago that htc wouldn't unlock the bootloader at launch and i got my butt reamed over it. now most of them are returning their devices. in case you haven't heard unless a dev achieves cracking the bootloader htc is not unlocking that phone.

they have achieved temp root, they cannot crack the encrypted bootloader, which means no recovery or custom roms. it's not about achieving root, it's about achieving "full root" and nand access.

if you knew some of the users on the evo section you would laugh too. and no, i can bet none of those devs will crack a encrypted bootloader unless they get the keys from htc. as you said it could take years and most of them will return the device.

Polite Request

Hello everyone, I'm Indirect and while most of you have no idea who I am, I was politely asked to come help you all out for development towards downgrade / s-off on your devices. Now, as much as I would LOVE to help, I can only do so much without the actual device. I know this sounds like mooching, annoying, etc that some other "developers" do to try and gain attention but I'm sure you can see that I've made progress in just a few short hours as you can see here So I would like to now ask the community I'm trying to help if they would be willing to help me out as well and have my job be just a bit easier. I own multiple devices that I work on (Evo View 4G tablet, Nook Tablet, Nexus S 4G) and I develop for the evo shift when I can get around to it, but since I am not 18 and unemployed, I can't really go out and just throw down cash for a mytouch. Developing is essentially my career, balance that with school and my life gets hectic. So, if you read on, you will see how much I'm working towards.
What I need vs What I have:
Bought a device and it had a board failure within 2 hours... -- edit: RMA'd this one
New device, killed that one and since it has a void sticker broken and I'd rather not send it to HTC for moral reasons, I want to have it JTAG'd.
Well guys. I bricked 2 MT4GS while helping test s-off. Looks like I need to RMA one and JTAG the other. What do I need? Well, it cost 40$ + shipping. I can eat the shipping costs, but I can't crap out 40$. .__. So, any help is appreciated. OP has been updated with this post as well as a total amount vs what I need.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What I need vs what I have for JTAG:
10$ / 60$
^ Donate button
Edit: Switched links. Found a cheaper one for 220~
This is the device that I am wanting to buy because it's the cheapest one on ebay, has free shipping, and available for buy it now. So if you want to help, just click the donate button and I'll save up for it. I would really prefer to get this thing bought as soon as possible so I can get cracking on that bootloader.

hi, it's nice to see someone giving our device some attention
btw, i have a side question: do you have kernel dev experience too?

I know some stuff about the kernel, but not atm enough to get a custom kernel up and running. Also guys, I seriously only have 1$ to my name, pretty sure it won't be enough. Lol.

This would be fantastic - I was working with this character last night in IRC and he's got the enthusiasm necessary backed up by the knowledge we need to get in our corner of XDA.
People are complaining from time to time about the anemic development here in the MT4GS forums, well, here is a way of increasing that dev.
If people aren't interested or able in picking up the torch themselves to get involved in development, then helping someone like this get a device in their hands will help us all out.
Normally i'm not such a fan of this but this is the real deal - we get a device in his hands and we WILL see more dev around here.
Look at the progress he's already helped us make towards the S-OFF issue - we got past getting the misc.version put in place and unraveled another layer of the issue, now we are stuck on hboot being our block.
Not bad for someone without a physical device in their hands, eh? Imagine what he could help us with not having to work proxy through one of us...

No more locked bootloaders on HTC phones

Didnt know if anyone happened to see this today or not...HTC CEO announced no more locked bootloaders on upcoming HTC phones. not sure if this will impact the 2.20 update or if AT&T will allow it but, nice none the less
sorry cant post links, but the article is on techspot . com

They said the same thing before....I won't hold my breath

Yeah that statement sounds awfully familiar

I'll believe it when I see it.

Nothing I can find on tech spot regarding htc and bootloader except for last year's lie.

their ceo is high everytime he releases such statement, dont believe him.
