S-Off Maybe soon for GB - EVO 4G General

So I was reading on the 3D forums and found this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175668&page=4
Read it carefully. There is a post in that thread about a new tool that will work with any hboot.
Also saw this in the post on page 3.
"This got out before we could make a formal announcement, but unrevoked and alpharev will be merging sometime in the near future. We've always been very close, but we will be officially merging..."soon"."

Could be a big deal. Myn has said he's going to put out an app that automatically exploits some sort of temporary root hack when you reboot the phone. I imagine this would allow for root apps to work, but I don't think it'll allow for ROM flashing.

heck yeah if this works with all hboots, then game on!!!

If I read whats in the thread that the OP posted they say it works with all current hboots. So with them saying that it should work for the locked down Evo4g. I hope to heck it does, no root sux. Sounds like hopefully we won't have to wait much longer tho.

Heres my question that hopefully someone with more dev skills can answer... Supposedly sometime September-ish HTC is going to release an unlocked bootloader for the Evo 3d. Could someone utilize that to discover a flaw in the non-unlocked bootloaders and develop a root method for the Evo's in case this new tool doesnt cut the cake?

Whats with the 1.30 hboot? mines only 1.16

theres already a thread with the progrss to date on this, its a strong possibility we might see the root soon, just hold on to your panties and let this guys finish their work, already an exploit has been found with a temp root, although its not easily reproduced, but its a hole

Great news, I hope those guys do get it done. I'll contribute some cash to them for their hard work..

I for one am praying to the Evo Dev's and Gods out there that a Root is coming soon. I'm sick of my Evo and the bloatware.. almost wish I wouldnt have used my upgrade from LG Optimus S to Evo 4g.. Didnt really care for the Evo3d as it hurt my eyes after a bit, and even though the screen size says they are the same 4.3" I still think the Evo 4g has a better screen..

I'm pretty much in the same boat as y'all the waiting game is killing me... i've been trying to find some utoob vids on different ROMs so that as soon as i'm able to ROOT i already have an idea of what ROMs i wanna try out... how bout y'all any suggestions?

[Q] Why do I feel like I'm being left out on developments?

I feel like the Aria is slow with developments. NOT COMPLAINING, I love liberated and CM6 (awesome, btw) but when do you think new ROMS are going to come out?

New ROMS based on what??? We have HTC Sense ROMs for Eclair 2.1 and Froyo 2.2 and AOSP CM 6.1. What else are you looking?
Personally I hate visiting the other device forums because everybody and their brother has 'cooked' up another ROM (mostly just new themes or added favorite apps). IMO who has time to stiff through all the various ROMs and threads? I find it much easier to review 3 different ROM threads and try to help others than to try and go through 10 or 15 threads and seeing messages such as 'well this worked on this ROM but it doesn't on that ROM, why not?'
OK, I'll get off my soap box now...
I agree. Plenty of good variety in the ROMs we have.

There's nothing wrong with that actually. Sometimes it's a good thing because there are more people developing towards something greater. We have 1 or 2 guys doing all this work. There are some pretty badass ROMs for the more popular phones out there. If we had more people developing and cooking, we'd no doubt have something better than what we have even now.
Screw those giant phones.
But a little more ROMS would be cool, we just need more people with the Aria.
It's not a bad phone...hah.

Not too sure, as I have only had the Aria and used the two ROMS.
it's not a bad thing that we may only have 3 roms, but they are actually good quality roms, not just thrown together, and they are constantly being updated, but it would be kool if they had more help with them.

I recently rooted and installed CM6.1.0RC2, and only thing I'd say it's missing is Flash Lite compared to Sense. Wish there was a way to get Flash Lite on CM, sadly not possible. Still loving CM though. Might test Sense again when there's an official Froyo update from AT&T and attn1 has taken out all the bloatware.

I would recommend only using ROMs from trusted sources. Cyanogen(mod), XDA, TheUnlockr are the ONLY sites that i trust. When you get into rooted phone, and personal information. It's just to easy for someone to input a leaching protocol, or not have all the files in line and what not.
If you are looking for GOOD ROMs use the XDA's Development section. There are plenty of good stuff in there.
I would venture away from CM7 if you are a new comer to the android world. I don't want to sound like and belittling you but there are some extra steps one must go though to get to work correctly, and honestly gingerbread isn't that different from FroYo.
CM7 isn't hard to flash. Yes there are extra steps, but the info is readily available.
As far as ive seen, all roms lead to the great Xda forums

I wouldnt say it sucks. Its just dramatically different.
If you want 4G you should look at Sense based roms. IE: Myns, Mikfroyo, Evio, etc... Just look for SENSE in the thread title.
Try Myns warm 2.2 rls 5 that's the best sense rom and it supports 4g

First of all, it's bad form to say a particular ROM "sucks". It may not be for you, but a lot of people work hard on it, and a lot of other people like it.
If you don't want a Sense ROM, your only option currently is CyanogenMod 6.1.2 with the WiMAX (4G) mod. I've been running it with the Savaged-Zen kernel with very few issues. Both the ROM and kernel are very beta, but I've been using them as my daily driver since they were released.
The only thing I use that doesn't work currently is mounting the SDCard via USB, so copying files from the computer to the phone isn't quite as easy (although you can do this via network, ADB push, or recovery). The kernel in the ROM OP has this working, but isn't as battery efficient, and the WiFi likes to go to sleep way too often for me.

I hate to contribute to the things I hate about this forum, but I have to in this situation...
OP, you are what I call a "dimwit".
Did you really not know that that Miui was an aosp rom and that no aosp rom has 4g on it? If you did know that and you're saying miui sucks because it doesn't have 4g on it, then you are also saying cyanogen sucks because his rom doesn't have 4g on it...How can that be possible when cyanogen is the most well-known and arguably the best android dev out there?
Miui's rom is as good as they get. 4g will be coming in a matter of weeks which will make miui and cyanogens roms as close to perfect as possible...
I would tell you to go create your own rom but whatever intelligence you possess obviously wouldn't suffice
EDIT* I'd like to note that when i'm talking about cyanogen's roms i'm referring to his official releases, not his nighties (which i know have 4g on them, though still in early stages of beta) just in case some smart-ass wants to defend the OP for being a moron...
For the sake of what little sanity each of us has left:
Please un-root your phone.
Learn how to use a search, and when you're ready, re-root.

[Q] Which ROM do I pick?

I haven't updated my ROM in a while, mainly because I don't have the time to. I was running Baked Snack 1.9, but now I want to upgrade to Gingerbread.
There are tons of ROMS in the development forum, and I'm not sure which one to pick. I'm not really concerned with how a ROM looks, since I'm going to load LauncherPro on there anyway.
So, here are the requirements that I have:
- Running Gingerbread
- 4G, GPS, both cameras supported
- Good battery life
- HDMI mirroring
- No FPS limit
- Preferably can run CIFS Manager
Is there anything else that I should be looking for??
Thanks in advance!

OFFICIALLY CM7 says it supports 4G.
However, my experience with CM7 WiMax has been shoddy at best. If you move from a 4G area to a non-4G area then back, most of the time the 4G breaks and you must reboot your phone to reconnect. Even if you stay in a 4G area, sometimes the 4G simply drops out, and you are stuck with both 4G and 3G icons on the screen, once again having to reboot to restore the 4G. There are some work-arounds, but it's definitely not stable, even in RC3. Don't even get me started on trying to wireless tether via 4G on CM7, even if you are lucky enough to get it to connect, you get about 2-3Mbits down whereas on Sense with Wireless Tether for Root Users you get 5-6 Mbits down.
Very annoying.
Anyway, I've given up on CM until the 4G issues are ironed out. I'm not paying an extra $10 a month for 4G if it's not stable enough to use.
My recommendation is to hop over to a MikFroyo ROM. It's as stable an fast as I've seen with everything working. You can apply themes and mods to get the Gingerbread look you want while you wait with the rest of us for the EVO to get official 2.3 support.
Good luck and hope this helped!

there are tons of reasons to root, as you probably know. i would like to use CIFS manager, tether, and use HDMI mirroring.
i was not aware that the stock rom now has unlocked FPS, but this was why i went to a non-stock rom in the first place. but now that i've gone to non-stock, i find that they are faster and have better battery life than stock.
Very tru they are way better with way more options. Idk wat the cifs is. But as far as tether goes there is pda-net for stock. But imho half the fun of rooting is trying all the roms from all the fabulous devs here on xda. It really doesn't take to long to see if a particular Rom is for u. Especially if u have TB. Then if a Rom isn't for u just nand restore to ur old Rom and in my experience its about 20 mins to try it and restore if its not for you. Plus everyone will have their own opinion about a Rom so in order for u to kno which one is for u u gotta try it

I gotta stick up for the OP here a little bit. He's asking for our help, and that's not a helpful comment to ask him "Why root?"
Not having to pay $30 to tether your EVO to a PC was reason enough for me. Or to overclock. Or to theme it to the max. There are many reasons to root.
This is a community for people who want to make the most of their phones. That is why we root.
Please don't come to XDA and ask "Hurr durr why did you root if you're not gonna blah, blah."
If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all, amirite?

Now I'm not trying to be rude. I see this same q on here all the time and ppl usually give their opinion about the Rom they like. Then proceed to say they need to try them to find the one they like. And op is saying he doesn't have time to do that. It's just odd to me that ppl go and root their phone then ask for others to tell them wat the best Rom is. And that's a subjective term. I agree that paying for tethering and all the other charges are bs but honestly if ur gonna root its cool to ask for ppls opinions about the "best" Rom but if u don't have time to try them y bother. So somebody says so and so Rom is the best then he trys it and hates it so y not just try them urself. Usually the op for the roms will tell u what works and not working

Fair enough, Mohawka. I was a little slow in my last post, and after I had posted I saw that right above me you had continued to bear with the OP and give him your advice anyway.
Sorry if I jumped the gun in assuming you were rude. As you can see, I've been lurking the forums for a few months, but today is my first time posting. I can understand if you get tired of "What's the best ROM?" threads, because you are right, the "best" ROM doesn't exist, only the best ROM for YOU.
Ya no worries. I lurked for a while too. Now I post rarely trying to help when I can but I'm just a guy loving all the devs great work. And if u want a custom Rom u should c which one u like. Nobody can tell u which Rom will b best for you. Unless u can't think/decide was best for you

Two roms you must try..
First is miui. It is amazing and I gurantee you will love it. Second is destroyer v2. Its based off of cm7 and excepy for some minor quirks, mosy of which have fixes, its a great rom.
If you dont agree with something why do you guys insist on posting? This isnt your forum and your not the moderators so stop acting righteous.

Maybe becausae on the first page of this particular forum alone are 4, FOUR threads all asking the same question.

Calling all vibrant devs!!!! Everyone should read this!!!

Sense is within our reach!!! It has already been ported to Galaxy S i9000 and Samsung Captivate..Us Vibrant owners need ALL the help we can get!! Hell who doesn't want sense on their Vibrant?!?!
I Have been talking to the dev over on that board about porting to the Vibrant, here is what he said:
chiledog said:
Sorry dude, but based on my captivate porting experience, unless a vibrant dev comes forward to make a port. It was just too time consuming and it was taking too much precious time away from the main projects to continue.
I'm not saying we won't eventually make ports for the other devices but you won't see a vibrant port from us in the near future.
By all means get the vibrant devs interested and tell them to pm me and I can tell them everything they need to know to get started but they will need to know how to build cm7, edit the initramfs, and obviously read logcats, dmesg etc.
A linux box is also a must obviously but anyone building cm7 would already know that.
If you have linux installed and you can sucessfully sync with teamhacksung and build cm7 with the kernel you can port this.

Nah. It'll install but not everything will work without making a Vibrant kernel.

No. I think they're using the new radio partitioning in .6, so it needs a new kernel.
Sense is really nice. I didn't even know it was ported to the captivate, sure do hope any of the Great devs can work on this.

one question
i have a question. do you want a port of just all the apps to look like a sense. i mean you can make a 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 all look a sense with all the new sense apps and such but it depends on what you want. if you want the sense gingerbread than thats alot more work. there are alot of options, but you gotta realize that the new sense works off of hardware not found in most phones. sooooo you gotta take that into consideration. but i will look at the 19000 port and see what they changed. im finally gonna start making roms, kinda gettin tired of making my own and not posting them. give me a couple of days and you will have it. but i dont know if i want it 2.3 since theres no gps i dont want it. if you have suggestions i will think about it, and maybe port it. but i wont develop if theres no requests.
edit: please pm me with requests
edit: alot of people dont realize but when a port is brought over its not all the system files that they transfer, all samsung vibrant files are used, so thats why i made a post like this. devs dont create everything themselves and make things work, they keep old files and add stuff to make it like another phone. hence the reason why all roms have a certain base. blah blah blah, sorry been drinking and tired of randomness of roms. pm me if you want this ported the way i do it, which means, framework-apps-some system files into one rom.
Wow, i would love to have Sense on my Vibrant. Hope that someone start working on this...
Would really really be nice, I have two vibrants... one MIUI Thanks Segnaro and I would put Sense on the other one which is currently stock...

Sorry mate....obviously not development . You summoned the Devs and only a couple showed up.
Not making fun of the situation by mo means tough but being realistic. I won't delete this thread but it'll be moved to general so this discussion may continue.
Stay on topic and good luck.
