Evo 3d Updates with New OTA 8/18/2011

Well it's here the OTA that is needed so you can unlock the phone via HTC's web site. But this also brings you many other things.

But first if you are one of the few that is S-off already do not take this OTA. There is a rom already made for it. As well as zip image files for you to flash the new Radio and setups. There are many fixes including the upgrade to Android Version 2.3.4.

Here is the link for the first Rooted Rom and also the Flash image files for radio and other goodies.

I have flashed the ROM, and Radios. They work great. As a bonus it now also brings Native Screen shots. You just hold the power and home key and it will take a screen shot.. Nice. I give thanks to xHausx for the very fast work he did in getting these out.

Here is what I did and it what order:

1) First Backup all your important data and info. I use My Backup Pro (Root) from the Market. It works great and it's free.
2) Downloaded the Shooter_2.08.651.2_odexed_rooted-signed.zip. and checked the MD5.
Note there is also a dedoxed version. Both will do the job.
3) Downloaded All 2.08.651.2 Firmware Minus hBoot.
4) I booted into recover (TWRP) and did a nandroid (Backup).
5) I rebooted into my present rom. Once back up and running using ES Explorer I renamed the Image file.
6) I rename the firmware file from PC86IMG_2.08.651.2_firmware_nohboot.zip. to PC86IMG.zip. I make sure this file is in the Root of the sdcard.
7) Now I rebooted into the bootloader. (I use quickboot) from the market it's free.
8) pick bootload, it will check your sdcard, find the PC86IMG and ask you if you want to apply it. I said yes.
9) After this I rebooted into fastboot. Then picked recovery.
10) I then did a phone wipe (completely) you may skip this by just clearing Dalvik and cache. But I did not want to take any changes.
11) After that I flashed the rom.

After reboot and putting my info back on. It was all working fine. The market downloaded all the apps and installed them. I then recovered my data and any missing apps from My Backup pro.

This rom is fast and works great. Note Google Chat does not have the Video chat enabled.

Kidromulous Reviews:Showdown ROM for EVO 3D

HelicopterShowdown For The Win!
It's been a long time coming. Thousand of visitors this week. Getting the graphics and web design thing going. T- shirts and apparel and etc. What I do however is write and I have been waiting for a few days to get this review on this awesome ROM from XDA developer HelicopterShowdown. I guess this is more of a closer look than a review because I'll tell you right of the bat this ROM is my favorite for the EVO 3D. First off the kernel allows for stable overclocking up around 1.85 GHz and that was one of the things I found most appealing about it. This with undervolting boot and after about a week of use the battery life on it was just awesome, 7 or 8 hours of heavy use for me easy. The ROM comes equipped with the Gingerbread theme and extended quick settings menu that includes media volume and brightness for your convenience. Their are long list of features that I will list for you after the break but let me take a moment to talk about the hallmark of this ROM. Showdown is fast. I know people tell you this all the time and I've heard more than once the EVO 3D is fast out of the box how much faster could it be? Seeing is believing, flash this bad boy. It is FAST. The kernel is just amazing with several speed tweaks dubbed miscellaneous by developer HelicopterShowdown. Also there is the option of a second kernel that has a different configuration. The voltage is upped and CFS is modified. Conservative is default for speed and battery as well. Overall this ROM will knock your socks off guaranteed. I won't be flashing anything else for a long time. Mama always said if it ain't broke don't fix it. Best ROM on EVO 3D and I have frankly tried all of them. More to come from the Androidian Revolution and let's hope there is more to come from HelicopterShowdown.

WTH! HTC Holiday Prototype Sells On CraigsList

HTC Holiday is REAL

Ok so if you haven't heard this one yet I'm always pleased to inform you guys. XDA member xredjokerx saw this bad boy for sale on craigslist and picked it up. The question remains what the heck is it? Why it's an HTC prototype rumored to be bound to the AT&T network it has a 1.2 GHz dual core processor, 1GB of RAM, a 4.5 inch whopper of a QHD screen, 8GB of internal memory, 8 MP camera, 1.3 MP front facing camera and a 540 x 960 resolution. It has no branding but I'll go head an show you the pictures which by the time I hit the publish button are likely to be all over the place. Unfortunately the phone has seen better days and has a cracked screen. So what do you guys think about this? Cool Huh? I thought so.

More to Come

Motorola Atrix 4G Bootloader is Unlocked and Free As A Bird.

Well well well the Atrix has finally been set free and the going trend is that the manufacturers are not going to do it. Why even wait on those dopes to do something right when we have such a great community of talent to do it for us. Cue XDA developers and voila unlocked bootloader on one of the first dual core phones to hit the market. Let the floodgates of Android development open up. You can hit this LINK and head on over there and check it out. Of course you'll need the normal set of skills like some cursory knowledge of ADB and etc. I try to stay on top of these things you know. So there it is. I'll be right back with you shortly for some more goodies.

XDA ftw.
