Don't be skurred.  Shit is easy, honestly.

So many results.

All you have to do is follow directions and you won't have to worry about bricking it.

If you do brick it, as long as it's still under the 1yr manufacturer warranty, they'll send you a fresh one.

I thought there was a setting for that with Froyo or something?  It's hard for me to tell what's CM-only and Vanilla.

G2 has proximity sensor, smoochie boochie, bitchez.

yeah my screen turns off when i put it up to my ear, was hard to not hit the power button for about a week because i was so used to it on my old touch pro

[flat_black]

well i found that unrevoked has a basicly 1 click root program... works great i deleted all the gay sprint apps and made a few profiles for CPU speeds....sick

[Jorsher]

Meh,

It's not looking good for rooting the G2 so far (although I'm SURE it'll be done).

First of all I couldn't install ADB drivers for it.  Grabbed the usb vendor and device IDs, manually added them to the *.inf and it let me install the drivers anyway.

So I'm thinking fucking sweet, until I restart in recovery mode and ADB shows the device offline.

Restart into bootloader for fastboot, and it appears USB is disabled which makes it useless.

Wondering now if the official rom can be modified and spoofed to install from SD...

I give it a week or less til root.

Don't understand why they make it so difficult.  The ability to root only makes the device more desirable, and if it was easier to root they wouldn't have to worry about getting a bunch of returned bricks (that they will ultimately just reflash and send back out).

Really?  Did you overclock to over 9000 or something?



OC should make it fun...  I'll do it when possible just to see how high it'll go but don't plan to keep it overclocked.  Runs fast enough as-is.

BoostedSchemes, where's the Quadrant score for that Droid of yours?

Looks like I'll have to send my phone back soon.  I posted on XDA-Developers forum about only showing 1.23GB of internal memory, fresh out the box, despite the spec sheets on HTC and T-Mobile websites claiming 4GB.  Latest word is that HTC will be replacing them...

Honestly don't think I'll NEED 4GB internal, but fuck it -- that's what I paid for.

My nigga I get 16-1700 all dayon my powersave mode that goes over 40hrs on a charge... I'm pretty sure my record is 1840. Ill get back to you with a screenie.
