Is there a one click root for the slide yet?

I know androot has been out awhile but last time I tried that I got sent into a neverending reboot mode which was horrible to say the least. Well is there one?

1. This should have been posted in Q&A. 2. No there isn't if it had been figured out it would have posted in the development and the current method would have been unstickied or deleted.

Sorry for the wrong posting I'm kinda new to this thing so I aplogize. I know the new universal androot will let me soft root but that's all thus far. Thank you

you could try entering ##3282# , please wait while initiating...click edit mode, enter your msl. you can call sprint for your msl or run logcat and find the six digit number in there.
click on evdo, then click preferred mode. you should see automatic, hdr only, digital only, cdma only. try using digital only, it should run evdo only. also try hdr only as it should also only run in digital.

I tried entering that number and it says.the number or code u enterd is incorrect

That will only work if you're running a SenseUI (sucks, I know) ROM that has QPST on it. Flash a rom such as Nfinite's NFX or something like that. Then those ##xxxx# codes will work.
I believe you can still access basically the same menu on an aosp rom, don't remember the *#*#XXXX#*#* code though
You could check the market for an app called "network" or something similar. It may open it up

I can confirm, you need to use NFX 2.1 rom, as the FroyoSense is a GSM rom that is ported over to CDMA hero, and GSM roms dont use EPST as CDMA phones do...

So if I did the data thing would it still work if I switched back to this Rom
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

Well this seems to be working I switched back to nfx hero and there's a root app for cdma phones called msl reader I went to the settings selected evdo set it to hdr then I went to the top forgot what its called then hit enable then I pressed comit chAnges and it rebooted now its staying on evdo but will it still be saved in the settings if I switch back to a gsm Rom

thats great. glad i could help you out. be aware that while running evdo/digital only you wont be able to receive or place calls. calls use 1x and if im not mistaken, sms also needs 1x. thats how it was back in the day, anyway. so if you use the device strictly as a modem then you dont have to worry about switching back when youre finished with your data'ing.

[FIX] Slow Data Speeds on Nexus S 4G UPDTED: Now includes edited HOSTS file!

There is a thread in the Q&A section regarding slow data speeds on the Nexus S 4G. Coming from an Evo running CM7 we all had slow data speeds also, however there is an easy fix for it.
*****YOU MUST HAVE A ROOTED DEVICE FOR THIS TO WORK*****
This only works on Sprint Nexus S 4G's as far as I know. Those with the GSM variant may test this and post their findings.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage to your phone.
What's required?
Rooted Nexus S 4G (Sprint)
Root Explorer
30 seconds of time
Speedtest app for your own results.
**5/26/2011: UPDATED METHOD**
Here is a link to the edited HOSTS file. Use Root Explorer or ADB to transfer it to your device.
http://db.tt/fMVteAE
Move it to the /system/etc folder
1. Download the Speedtest app from the market and run a test over 3G, take a screen snapshot.
2. Open root explorer and navigate to /system/etc and in there you will find a file called "hosts"
3. Long-press on the "hosts" file and click "Edit with text editor"
4. You will see "127.0.0.0 localhost" change that to "0.0.0.0 localhost"
5. Press menu>save & exit.
6. Restart your phone.
7. Run Speedtest app again and screen snapshot your results and post them for everyone to see!
*Optionally you can visit a speed testing website.
I will update the OP with before and after pictures of my own!
Troubleshooting: Upon clicking "Save & Exit" it will save a backup copg of your hosts file as "hosts.bak" if you have any issues, delete your "hosts" file and rename "hosts.bak" to "hosts" and restart your phone. Otherwise, post them here and I will address them.

Not to be "that guy" but the post specifically says "4G" right in the title. So yeah pretty safe bet its not for you GSM guys

I don't see how this would work when 0.0.0.0 is basically a wildcard for all traffic so it will redirect everything to localhost?

i don't see how this is going to help as this is a radio/signal issue.

It's not. It's something with the speedtest.net app.
I can run the speedtest.net app on my nexus all day long and get about 3-4mbit max but I can tether my nexus and get 12mbit+ over 4G all day long.

I agree, I was tethering last night and getting 10+ which is fine by me. Another thing I've noticed about the speedtest app is that it picks the closest server and not always the best one. I switched to a few that were only 50 to 100 kms further away and got faster results this way.
Keep in mind this is only a way to try and get better results, your actual speeds aren't going to be effected...

I can confirm NS4G working with this version. Market version does not work. I'm on CM7.1 nightly 39 with netarchys 1.3.5 cfn. However, I HAD to lower it to 1300 MHz. 1400 MHz will freeze video after 5 sec. Just like gtalk video.

sprint s4 metropcs mms fix

This is to fix Mms message on metropcs flashed sprint galaxy s 4 your phone most already be flashed to metropcs with working internet, Flash the zip in recovery and reboot, mms messages should work from first boot. This will last thru a factory reset.
Edit: I was ask to add some details as to wat the zips doing and wat I do. I edit the mms-config.xml in the stock Mms.apk/SecMms.apk to settings from verizon which work for metropcs, I also use an apns-conf.xml that I edited for metropcs. the zip will mount data and mount system, it will delete Mms.apk/SecMms.apk and Mms.odex/SecMms.odex, it will delete dalvik-cache for Mms.apk/SecMms.apk, it will delete the telephony.db file in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ which countains apns. it will replace Mms.apk/SecMms.apk with the one I edited for metropcs it also replaces the apns-conf.xml in /system/etc/ which countains the default apns for the one I edited for metropcs (on first boot the phone will create a new telephony.db with the default apns countained in this apns-conf.xml, that is why this fix lasts thru a datawipe/factory reset). For more details take a look at the updater-script.
for the 4.3 script, flash the zip - reboot to system. Then open dialer and dial ##3282# hit edit enter spc then go to more then lte apn settings and click the circle on the right of the global roaming apn to activate it then hit home and all should be good
if you have issue where messaging app has default android icon use root explorer go to /system/app long press on SecMms.apk select move hit back hit back again go to /sdcard and paste SecMms.apk on sdcard, it should now show the up on sdcard with normal icon long press on SecMms.apk select move hit back go to /system/app and paste SecMms.apk back in /system/app and reboot phone should now show normal messaging icon
I am not responseable for anything that happens

Hang on...I must clarify. As much as I love to profit off of Metro flashes, we need to get the facts straight.
Flashed phones to Metro will not work nationwide. Boost will. Metro has better talk & text in their coverage area, but their data can either be equal to or slightly slower then Boost (depends what time of the day you're on the network). We also JUST got 3g here in the Tampa Bay area, and we're a huge market, go figure.

ive had very good luck though if i may say so myself. i have traveled to florida new york san francisco and alabama and gotten very good coverage on my flashed s3 from verizon and im suing the 3033 prl in atlanta. its faster than i could have hoped for. i have heard though before that flashed phones do not work well outside of the state theyre flashed in but aside form that metro itself has bigger coverage than boost and sprint. and now they are merging with t-mobile although im still not sure how thats working out because theyre rolling out city by city certain thing such as hartford dallas baltimore and i think boston.

interesting. almost a year ago we had 3g coverage over here in saint pete, i had to use a special prl on my step brothers admire 3g to get it to load up right though.
now a days its all lte anyways so no one uses 3g

Then you would have been the first. I've been flashing in this area for over 2 years at least, and none of my fellow flashers in the area got 3g besides 1 tower near University Mall.
Can you tell us about this special prl?
