All lost. Where I am. Where I want to be.

[KEVIN88GT]

Have a 1.5 year old evo 3d on which I did the latest OTA ICS update. Been having issues (possibly digitizer?) with phone locking up and not responding to touch commands. So i decided to finally get into "ROOTING"

Did some reading and decided to do the HTC DEV unlock method. Performed successfully. The video tutorial that I followed included the following recovery. TeamWin Recovery Project (twrp) v1.1.1. I then installed. MeanRom 2.6. While it looks cool the Wifi/4g does not work (I do not blame the developer by any means... I might have done something wrong here).

Where I am:

UNLOCKED
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL
hboot 1.58
MeanRom v2.6
Wifi and 4G not working.


Where I'd like to be:

Would like to have an ICS ROM with good battery mods and wifi tethering. Bloatfree (None of that Nascar or Blockbuster app stuff) [I dont know if it's possible to use someone's ROM but not use some of their programs].

From what I see I'm limited with having S-on. As there arent many ICS ROMS out for that ::shrug::?

I'm pretty much a NOOB to rooting and have been following tutorials. I'm a bit overwhelmed with all the info and decided to post. Thank you all in advance.

Being s off is definitely where you should be. You will run into issues on certain roms trying to flash s on. You could try an app called flash image GUI for s on, but I have no experience using it do to the fact of being s off myself.

Sounds to me you need to flash the boot.img and you can do that using fastboot

Thank you...working on that as we speak..will report back.

Wow took 2 nights but finally was able to follow all of those steps and finally complete the wire trick.

Now i'm on S-Off.

Which ROM would fit me best based on my original pos ( ICS ROM with good battery mods and wifi tethering. Bloatfree (None of that Nascar or Blockbuster app stuff)
Thanks in advance.

Gruesomewolf's Nocturnal i36 and dastin1015's cm10 gangnam are my favorites at the moment. Just make sure you are using the correct hboot for the rom you install.

I can vouch for Cleanrom. Been using and loving it. 4g works though it's curiously absent from quick settings. What's up with that Benny?

 

[benny3]

Looks like i have the 4G toggle if thats what your talking about

 

[anon(285475)]

what am I missing? How do I get that? The only way I've been able to get 4g on and off is through the HTC widget

 

[benny3]

Thats not my SystemUI, did you flash a theme or something

 

[anon(285475)]

no that's just Leedroid tweaks showing which status bar items are available to hide & reorder in the quick launch. No 4g option. So also I can't take a screenshot with the notifications/quick launch menu pulled down. With cleanrom I lost the ability to press power+home to take a quick screen shot, so the only way I'm able to is by holding down power and then selecting screenshot from the power options. Whenever I do that though, it clears out the notification bar. How are you able to do it?
