Hey have you guys had any recent issues with the phone not automatically rebooting? There has been a lot of discussion about it, and I have the same problem. Hoping that Regaw finds some time to check it out, but I understand that he has a busy schedule.
ReplyDeletehello Keep getting error retrieving Unlock_code.bin from email, do you Have any thoughts, two others had the same problems and no answers yet

Will this root work on new sprint update 3.15.651.16. ics 4.1.1. Would like to tether and cannot do without root. Thanks Dewey in Fl.
ReplyDeletethere is no confirmation whether rooting will be successfully after updating to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean. You have to wait some more time because it was recent update developers are in a way to root the 3.15.651.16 firmware version.

ReplyDeleteI am having the same problem "hello Keep getting error retrieving Unlock_code.bin from email, do you Have any thoughts". I tried on two different computers. It connects to the Internet then the GMail symbol comes up - then it receives the above error. I have my personal GMail running in the background on the computer. I just got the HTC and clicked on "about", indicating I have software version 1.22.651.3 71ORD, hardware version 0003 - can this be updated, it sure seem to be a great tool to ROOT the phone. Please help as we are getting ready to go on vacation and need this phone ROOTED so we can tether. My email is srgeberth@gmail.com. Thanks in advance...
ReplyDeleteeven i heard a lot of people reporting same issue. Give me sometime i will find a way to solve this issue.
