Root New User seeking help

Thanks, do you have a link for the latest/greatest rom? as well as the lines for the universal freedom kernel, and setcpu? I was looking to go to amon ra instead of clock work but not sure if thats really needed, I'm kinda lost on what gingerbread is.

There is so much stuff out there and i don't want it to conflict. All I know is my S-OFF is displayed but want to proceed carefully lest i brick my phone.


Long Live the EVO :)

here is mikg3.0. download the v 3.0 and not the tweaks:
MikG v3.0 [12/17/2011]
you can flash the tweaks after you flash mikg3.0.

here is the freedom kernel:
[Kernel][Sense][HDMwIn]Evo 4g Freedom-v0.9 Kernel GB MR 2.6.35.10 - xda-developers

you can get setcpu from the market. it is not free though. but here is a guide for it:

No, the download links are ad supported and they try to trick you into download their crapware.


Make sure what your downloading is MikG

the synergy godmode and nightlies are specific to the synergy rom. use the unversal kernel. the difference is that the aggressive is undervolted more then the others. some phones may not like it that undervolted. start with that one and give it a few days then move on to the next.

Thanks Ocnbrze...I'm up to date on the mikg and the universal rom. They loaded successfully. I looking for camera and camcorder updates...especially the one where you use the power up or down button to take a picture, and any updates to enhance that. Any other cool loads to the evo would be appreciated too..again thanks...

If you are on mikg just go to tweaks and change the volume up and down buttons to take pics. ;)

I am curious about the hotspot with the MikG rom. I flashed the Aggresive kernel and it seems to be fine. Is the hotspot only 3g? or does it do 4g. Plus my wireless thether isn't working. It asks if my phone is rooted. I was able to use it with the unrevoked 3 and forever. It worked great and was as fast as dsl or faster on 4g... Is there a 4g thether for mikg rom?

The hotspot I believe only supports 3G you will need the wireless one to do 4G.

Did you give the app root permissions with superuser?

Open up the super User app and locate the app you're having trouble with, look on the right hand side of that app and see if it's listed as allowed. If not open the app again and allow root permissions, should work after that. :)

I tried super user permissions...it was an icon on my phone as well as going into God mode into mikg..I get the following message:

The application superuser (process com.noshufou.android.su has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again....a force close button is the only option afterwards


plz hlp I really want 4g tethering

I think there might be a conflict between mikg and the superuser app from unrevoked 3/forever...just a guess.

Hmmm, you probably need to uninstall your superuser app and redownload from the market.

First lets try this: go to menu / settings / applications / manage applications, select superuser, then clear the app data and the cache.

Try the root apps again and see if it works then. If not uninstall and get a fresh install from the market.

Thanks, I really appreciate that! :)

I'm just really happy I can pay it forward and help out. :D

I assume from your post you got it to work? :p

Also if you get random glitches, it's a good idea to boot into recovery and just wipe the cache partition and the dalvik cache. Helps out a lot with the little bugs, lag etc that pop up. ;)

While in recovery might as well do a NANDROID. Keep Up to 3 on your sdcard. Also keep a good ROM on the card Make sure you have a nandroid of your wimax keys and save that on the computer.

And Always remember we're here to help so any issues don't hesitate.

I have a 2nd evo from spint insurance...im gonna max them both out. I have a question on micro sd cards...i was told 32 gigs are unstable..maybe class 10 would do?...any feedback would be appreciated..

Sent from my HTC on the Now Network from Sprint!

i just bought a patriot 32g class 10 card and i have no issues with it so far. never heard that a 32g card is unstable for the evo. it should be fine.

They've gotten better. On some of the reviews a lot of people with evos were having issues with the 32gb ones for some reason.

I just got one in mail today. Where'd you get yours from?
