In the event something happens to your phone, -I'm- not responsible for the damages to it, you are. The end. I've personally tested this method and it works flawlessly.
This tutorial entails gaining full root access on your Evo. That means we -will- be unlocking NAND. But most importantly, we'll be doing it all without the use of a computer. Needless to say, this is going to take a while, especially if you don't have access to a wifi signal. The PC36IMG.zip files are rather hefty and are going to take at least 30 minutes to download. So I suggest you start downloading both of them now.
Prerequisites: Download Astro File Manager from the market. Open it up, hit the menu key on your phone, select more, select preferences, then scroll down and make sure Enable Browser Download is checked.
This is a template for you guys that'll explain to you how to move a file to the root of your SD card using Astro File Manager.
The files that you've downloaded from the links below are going to be located in the Downloads folder that is on the root of your SD card.
Unless you're using a browser like Xscope or Dolphin, then you'd have to navigate to the particular browser's folder that you're using, open it up and find the downloads folder in there.
When you first open the Astro File Manager app, you're going to be staring at what is the actual root of your SD card. Remember that.
Code:
When I tell you to move something to the root of your SD card, you're going to:
Locate and open the appropriate download folder that contains the file I am referring to.
Long press on the file.
Select Edit.
Select Move.
Press the Back key on your phone 'til you've reached the root of your SD card in Astro File Manager.
Click the Menu key on your phone.
Select Edit.
Select Paste.
When I tell you to rename a file you're going to:
Long press on the file.
Select Edit.
Select Rename.
Rename it accordingly and select done.
Step 1. Download this file http://link.geekfor.me/rootedromzip and move it to the root of your SD card.
Step 2. Power down your phone.
Step 3. Hold down the Volume Down and Power key simultaneously and keep holding it down until you've reached a white screen with 3 android dudes on skateboards.
Step 4. It's going to give you some options, whether or not to install the PC36IMG.zip, select yes (volume up is yes) for any prompt you get.
Step 5. Once you've rebooted you will officially have root access. Just not full root access, we still need to unlock NAND.
Step 6. Navigate to the root of your sd card and rename the PC36IMG.zip file whatever you want, doesn't matter. Just don't name it update. You can even delete it if you want.
Step 7. Download the mtd-eng.zip file here. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=342668&d=1276481802 And the flash_image.zip file here. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=342667&d=1276481776
Step 8. Navigate to the root of your SD card and locate both of the .zip files you just downloaded. Open them, and long press on the files inside of them, then select Edit, then Copy, navigate back to the root of your SD card, press menu, select Edit, and then paste. Do the same thing for both files.
Step 9. Open up the Android Market and download the terminal emulator app by Jack Palevick, it's free.
Step 10. Open the terminal emulator app and type in these commands exactly as they are written. If you get an error, try again.
Note: After each line is completed, hit enter. A # sign means you've run the commands successfully.
Code:
[B]su
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img[/B]
Step 11. Download the new PC36IMG.zip file here -http://sdx-downloads.com/sdx/evo/troot/eng-PC36IMG.zipand move it to the root of your SD card, then rename it to "PC36IMG.zip" because the is named eng-PC36IMG.zip, which is wrong. Then power down your phone.
Step 12.
Hold volume down and power to boot into hboot.
- It should now find and verify the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard. It'll show a blue status bar on the top right of the screen.
- After a minute or so it will ask u if u wanna flash Select YES.
- After it flashes the PC36IMG.zip it will ask if you wanna reboot. Select YES.

Step 13. Once your phone has rebooted, download the recovery.img file here - http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-evo-v1.7.0.1.img Then move it to the root of your SD card and rename it "recovery.img"
Step 14. Still know how to use terminal emulator? Open it up and type in these commands.
Code:
[B]su
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img[/B]
You now have full root access as well as a legit recovery.
If you want to flash a ROM or the newest radio and you don't know how to do that, there's already guides for that. So I won't include that in my tutorial, just click here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710513

Great Work!!
Wow, great work!! Seems easy enough to me. I have a quick question as i haven't rooted yet and don't know all it entails.
First, you say after this method that we have a "legit recovery"...does that mean if i hard reboot, that there is a rooted, nand unlocked image you put there already that will flash with a hard reset? And if so, what image did you use? (or is it exactly the same as stock but rooted)
Second, some of the other quides state we need to root, then unlock, then flash a custom recovery...it looks as if you have all 3 steps included right?
Finally, is there anything else you recommend i do after i complete root using your method?? I am looking forward to maximizing this phone!!
Thanks for this guide!!! Can't wait to try it out.

Legit, as in the most legit recovery on the scene, that being Amon_RA's.
Yup, got all three covered in that order.
Here's a link that shows you an in-depth guide on how to flash ROM's and what-have-you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710513
No problem, man. Let me know how it goes for ya'.
Does this method still work with the latest OTA patch on 6/28/10?
Aren't you supposed to have Superuser Permissions after flashing the first ROM?
and you do get super permissions after you flash a CUSTOM rom....
what's your definition of 'CUSTOM'? This isn't my first time rooting, I unrooted lastnight and decided to try this method to see if it would work. I know for a fact that during the original rooting process the first PC36IMG you flash, you have Superuser permissions. And the second one that is flashed is the ROM to unlock NAND. However, doing this method, after flashing the first PC36IMG, I do not have Superuser permissions
However, it does seem that this method works. So I'm happy. It's good to know that I don't have to rely on a computer to root my phone now. Now the only thing I need to do, is figure out how to UNroot my phone without a computer.
Android believer, did you update to the ota update yesterday? Do you know if this works with the ota v1.47.651.1?

I would assume it doesn't, as this is still toastcfh's method of rooting except it's done without a computer.
@ neckface
Hope you're not tired of hearing from me. First, thanks mass for this.
You say this is Toasts method without computer. I'm on the orig stock ROM, no 1.47 update. I WANT to do the update (for better battery mainly). I want to do whitslacks method. He says you need eng hboot 76.2000. He says use Toasts part 2 to get that.
Should I : use this to get eng hboot, then go to whitslacks for the 1.47 update? You seem to have a pretty good grip on this, so I thought I'd ask your opinion.
(if this is still Toastcfhs method, are these links to the same files he has posted? Meaning, will this get me eng-Hboot 76.2000? )
Thanks a lot.
anybody
Really interested in this. Anyone have success with this from 1.32 SW, and does it give you hboot 76.2000 ?
Thanks in advance.

OK i must be the dumb one
I have already used the "Unrevoked method" so I thought I could just skip to the Nand unlock. Now the phone(EVO) will not allow me access to my sdCard...and..will not read when I plug it up to my USB PC(windows) instead of it coming up as android like it use to it comes up as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM(new found hardware wizard)....and the phone can only charge when the phone is powered off. Its like the usb is not responding and I can not have access to the SD card via teh device..i need advice
Thank you
Thank you,
I don't know if it was the wrong recovery.img or what, but I could not do a nand unlock. This worked great and did it all off the phone..... Awsome
Many of you know that for some legal stupid reasons you cannot disable the shutter sound on your camera (on galaxy s2 you can do that by putting your phone on silent mode).
Anyway, here's how to do it:
You have two options, one where you must work with a file manager and your favourite DB editor on your PC, and one where you can use any DB editor on the Play Store and do it manually directly on your phone.
WARNING: Your phone must be ROOTED in order to pull files from the system folder.
Here's the explanation on how to edit Volume.db with a file manager and a db editor on PC:
1. Download SQLite Database Browser (download link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/ )
2. Get a file manager (I have root explorer on my phone) on your phone that can access system folder on your internal sdcard.
3. With the file manager, go to system\etc and copy Volume.db to your sdcard or external sdcard.
4. Move the Volume.db from your phone to your PC and open it with SQLite Database Browser which you just downloaded.
5. Browse to the tab "Browse data" and modify SHUTTER 1, AUTOFOCUS, CAMCORDING, SHUTTER 2, SHUTTER 3 values to 0.
If you don't know how, here's a picture: http://i.imgur.com/K9L9xui.png
6. Save the file Volume.db, put it back on your sdcard on the phone and with the file manager replace the original Volume.db in system\etc.
7. Restart your phone (this is important).
Bonus: You can also put 0 value to BOOT SOUND and you won't hear that stupid sound play when you turn on your phone.

Hey guy we can directly MUTE the camera shutter by simply changing our profile to silent. BTW It feels good that people have started development for our S II PLUS. KEEP IT UP:good:
Well, I did that and it didn't work. The sound was still there even if I set my profile on vibrate or mute.

This is a guide on how to change the Boot sound on your ZTE Mustang! (Also known as ZTE Z998)
**REQUIRES ROOT**
For a guide on how to root the ZTE Mustang, visit my other thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-zte-mustang-root-zte-z998-t3009150
(If you want to change the boot animation, just use the app Boot Animations
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.boot.animations&hl=en
Alright, now onto the Boot Sounds!
As a AT&T user, I find that the AT&T boot sound is way to loud, not to mention annoying. So, with NO help from Google, I figured it out myself!
First, make sure you have an app like root explorer, or any file explorer with root privileges.
Now, navigate to system/etc and find a file named Bootsound.mp3. You can play the sound to verify.
Now, rename that file to Bootsound.bak. This way, if your custom sound doesn't work, you still have the original and can simply rename to restore.
Now, download or create your own sound which you want as your new bootsound, preferably something more mellow and quieter. I have my very favorite boot sound listed below, Windows XP, works great with windows custom boot animation!:
Windows XP: http://www.mediafire.com/listen/bhe2yb7mvcrt2r8/Microsoft_Windows_XP_Startup_Sound.mp3
Now, with your new .mp3 file (must be mp3 format) you need to rename your sound to Bootsound.mp3. Now, copy it over to your phone and place it in system/etc.
Finally, LAST STEP!!!!!
Now, (if in root explorer) press and hold on your new Bootsound.mp3 until a menu pops up. Select the Permissions tab. Un-tick the Group Write permission (Very center box) and click ok (Your permissions should be rw-r--r--). Alright, your done! Exit out and reboot to the soft melody of whatever you choose! :laugh:
After trying and trying and failing, I have finally figured out a way to port a rom to the Cube T7.
This has proven the only method (in my experience) to work. All the standard methods have failed
each time.
WARNING!!!!! THIS COULD BRICK OR DAMAGE YOUR PHONE
YOU ARE TRYING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE!!!!
Things you need.
latest Spftool
and the Rom package
NOTE:You need to know that you can't just flash the package I put together. You will
need to use the TWRP recovery that comes in the package to transfer file from your external sd to
the system folder and so forth. Also the proper permission to set.
Step 1: Flashing the images.
I've already pulled the correct img from each folder and put it together for you.
The only thing that you will need to do is extract the folder and use the spf tool to
install the firmware.
Note** In order to keep the 3.97 app storage, I've had to make sure to use the
Spf tool to do a full format except for the bootloader.
Step 2: Repairing the Rom
In the rar package, I included all the files need to fix the rom so
it will work smoothly on your phone. The files can be located in
the "system" folder which will need to be copied to your external sdcard
At this point you will already have flash the images and turn on the phone.
You will notice that the after you turn it on, you will get a warning that says "Cpu overheating"
or at least to that affect. This is not true by the way, this is from the fact the tp settings are off
from the original rom. Either way the warning will force boot your phone which again is fine.
Once this happens you will need to go to recovery.
Once in recovery make sure that you go ahead and mount your
system partition.
With this done you will be able to go to /system/etc/.tp
This folder contains the files that control the thermal manager for
the rom. You want to delete this folder. YES DETELE IT!!!
Once deleted, go to the system folder that you should have copied to your
external Sdcard. You need to copy /system/etc/tp to the exact location that you
just deleted the original.
Once you've done this you will need to set the permissions for the folder and the
files contained. The folder needs to be set to 0755 and the files inside need to be set to 0644.
Once done its best to go ahead and use the recovery to flash UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip to root your device before
restarting. Once restarted you will need to use root explorer or es explorer root function to
copy all the files to there correct locations and set their permissions. Each file is in its corresponding
folder as it should be in the system partition. All you will need to do is copy and past from the folder on the external and
paste to the same folder in the system partition. For those that may not know, all files will be set to 0644/rw--r--r-- and folders that you copy over will be 0755/rwxr-xr-x (if your using root explorer, just un check the group and others on the "Write" permissions.
Whats not working?
I can't figure out how to get the camera to working.
I've used standard tuts to try and copy the right files or libs
but not luck as of yet. If anyone figures out a way please share!!!
Also, if you have the fold case, the screen does not come on when you
open the fold. Also when double tapping the screen, this does not take it out of sleep
mode. From what I've seen those are the only things that dont work. If you see something
else, please report it to this thread.
Also in the package you will find the Carliv 3.3 recovery version for our phone.
Thanks to kushyree from needrom.com for building it for us.
He also has been assisting me in trying to port other roms to our phone. We owe him a lot of thanks.
Let me know if you guys need any help with this. I will do the best I can to try and help out. Enjoy.
Dexcom G6 is a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) for reading blood sugar levels. I ordered one up to please my wife, not realizing my device isn't compatible.
After a few hours I managed to get everything working. And as far as I can tell there's no issues. Im getting the blood sugar updates, alarms, etc. Only thing I need to verify is the "share" option is working. Will test tonight after my wife gets home and I can set it up for her.
Must be rooted.
1) Download the apk.
2) Using a build.prop editor or your favorite file explorer. Change ro.product.manufacturer to samsung and ro.product.model to SM-G965F and save. The app won't open unless it passes as a compatible device, like an S9+.
Code:
ro.product.manufacturer=samsung
ro.product.model=SM-G965F
3) Reboot
4) Click the apk from your download location, it will ask you if you want to install, click yes. If it asks by what method choose "package installer". You may need to go into security and allow to install apps from unknown locations/sources.
5) Don't open the app after it installs.
6) Navigate to /data/app and look for the com.dexcom.g6-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx file. Highlight and cut. Then navigate to system/priv-app. Paste the com.dexcom.g6-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx file. Then rename to com.dexcom.g6. The "xxxxxx" was a bunch of letters and numbers that aren't relevant.
7) You shouldn't have to change permissions, but just incase make sure the apk in the com.dexcom.g6 folder is set to 644, rw-r-r.
8) Download the privapp-permissions-com.dexcom.g6.xml file below.
9) Navigate to system/etc/permissions and put the xml file there. Set permissions to 644, rw-r-r.
10) Reboot
11) The app should now open. Enter the requested Dexcom info. It'll ask to turn bluetooth on and locations. I believe course locations will work, but I had fine on for only the initial sync. It will search for the transponder for a few min, for me it was about 5min. Then all should be well.
My device is a Moto Z2 Force, a non-compatible device per Dexcom. And is working perfectly fine. Hope this helps the maybe one other person trying to get it working.:good:

I can't seem to find the ro.product line in the apk. It's driving me crazy as I'm sure it's simply something I'm overlooking.
It is not in the apk, it is on your device in the build.prop file. Use a build.prop editor to edit this on your device (search Google play store)
