so looks like you took the latest ota for our beloved evo and now you want to root it. to begin with never accept an ota when you are thinking about rooting your phone. this will apply for all phones going forward. with each new ota, rooting will become harder and harder to do. update:there has been another OTA, software version 5.07.651.1. again like any ota's, you should not have take it. however, if you did, it will not change your hboot version so this guide will still work for you. first lets make sure that this guide is for you. before we do anything make sure that you have disbaled fastboot. on your phone go to settings>apps>uncheck the fastboot option at the bottom. next you will need to power off then press and hold power+vol down. this will take you to the bootloader screen. 1.if you have hboot 2.18 and it says locked at the top then this guide is for you. 2. if it says hboot 2.16 or 2.15 then use this guide:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...ooting-dummies-guide-gingerbread-edition.html 3.if it says hboot 2.10 or less then use this guide:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies.html. on to rooting there are now a few different ways you can root your evo and each has their pros and cons. i will try and go into detail with each method and i will leave it up to you to decide which way you want to go. rooting your phone will wipe all data so make sure that you backup your info accordingly: 1.for contacts make sure that you have them all saved under google. that way when you flash a new rom or even get a new android device, you can sign in to google and all of your contacts will sync to your phone. 2.if you want to backup your sms or even mms text messages then you can use SMS Backup & Restore and it will save them to your sd card. 3.for your apps data, you can use MyBackup Pro. this will pretty much back up everything for you. please use these methods at your own risk. i do not accept any responsibility if you brick your phone. ok with that said, here they are: 1. HTCdev method (recommended) Spoiler this method is something that htc has done to keep their word on providing us with bootloaders that are not locked down like on some other phones. however, there are some things that you should know about it, if you are planning on going this route. yes the bootloader will be unlocked, but you will have s-on still. however, this also means that the bootloader will be watermarked and this will void your warranty on the phone. and yes with this method, you will be able to flash roms, kernels and such though you will still have s-on. once the bootloader is unlocked all you need to do is have a custom recovery and either flash a custom rom or flash the su (superuser) file and then you are good to go. here is an overview of the process: here is an overview of the process: 1.go to HTCdev and follow directions to get your bootloader unlocked 2.install custom recovery 3.flash the su file or you can flash a rom of your choice the setup you will need to download these files: adb.exe fastboot.exe AdbWinApi.dll HTC Sync 3.0.5551 Java Runtime Environment (JRE) make sure that you have htc sync installed and that you have the latest java running. step 1 HTCdev bootloader unlocker Spoiler 1.go to the htc website:HTCdev - Unlock Bootloader 2.at the very far right there should be a drop down menu. scroll all the way down to the bottom until you see "All Other Supported Models". do not select the evo 4g(korean). that is an entirely different phone. 3.just follow the steps. and use the files that you downloaded earlier when asked. 4.you will then get an email and follow directions according to the email. 5.congrats!!!!!!!! you have now just unlocked your bootloader here is a step by step as stated on the htcdev.com site. 1.remove and insert the battery 2.press and hold power+vol down 3.with the vol buttons highlight fastboot and select it with your power button. 4.connect the device to the computer via usb cable 5.create a new folder and call it android 6.download the first three files and save it to the android folder 7.right click on your android folder while holding shift and select open command window here (3rd or 4th option). 8.in the command window type: Code (Text): fastboot oem get_identifier_token 9.you will need to copy the long block of text that is displayed Right Click > Mark > highlight the block of text > Right click to copy 10.the first line you should highlight should be: <<<<<Identifier Token Start>>>>> and end with: <<<<<Identifier Token End>>>>> 11.paste the text into the token field and then hit submit. 12.you will then get an email with the unlock key and commands to finish the process. 13.once you get the email download the attached .bin file and move to your android folder you created earlier. 14.open the command window (right click+shift, open command window here) and type: Code (Text): fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin 15.you will then see a disclaimer just select yes. CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU ARE NOW UNLOCKED!!!!!! step 2 How to get Recovery Spoiler here is a little more details on how to get a recovery onto your phone. there are several ways of doing it. you can use the fastboot command to install recovery or you can use the android flasher program and lastly there is the PC36IMG method. either way, it is pretty simple. i will leave the decision up to you. various methods to install amon ra 2.3 recovery: Fastboot method Spoiler 1.download amon ra 2.3 from here: PC36IMG_RA_2.3.zip 2.extract the file and then go into and move recovery.img file into the android folder you created when unlocking your bootloader. 3.on your phone after you have unlocked your phone you should be in the bootloader menu screen, select the fastboot option 4.on your computer press and hold shift while right clicking the android folder. 5.select open command window here option (windows 7) 6.enter command: Code (Text): fastboot flash recovery recovery.img congrats!!!!!! you have just installed amon ra 2.3 android flasher method Spoiler Android Flasher, what is this and how do i use this? well with android flasher, you can flash radios, your splash screen (that is what the htc white screen is called right before sprint's boot animation), and your recovery. you will need to extract the .img file from the .zip file. in this case i will show you how to install a custom recovery amon ra2.3. so here is what you will need to do: 1.download android flasher from here: AF Downloader 2.and extract it to someplace on your desktop where you can find it. 3.next you will need to download amon ra 2.3from here: PC36IMG_RA_2.3.zip 4.extract the img.file and place it some where you will be able to find it. 5.run android flasher 6.go to the recovery slot and select browse and then navigate to the amon ra .img file 7.select it and then select recovery 8.then1 at the very bottom select flash congrats!!!!!! you now have amon ra 2.3 installed. here is the original thread for android flasher: [UTILITY] Android Flasher 184.108.40.206! (12/12/11) - xda-developers PC36IMG method Spoiler this will depend on what software version you are on. if you have software version 4.67.651.1 download this file:PC36IMG.zip if you have software version 5.07.651.1 download this file: PC36IMG_AmonRA-v2.3-hausmod_revA.zip 1.download the PC36IMG for your software version above. 2.rename the file so that it is only PC36IMG. make sure that you do not add any extra .zip's to the name as windows hides extensions by default. 3.transfer the file to the root (that means not in any folder) of the sd card. 4.power off (you most likely need to uncheck fastboot. settings/apps/uncheck fastboot.) then press and hold power+vol down. 5.hboot should see the file and select yes to update. 6.select no to reboot because we want to go into recovery and make a nandroid backup. 7.select recovery. 8.select backup and restore and select backup 9. select the first three and wimax. the other partitions do not need to be backed up. always keep one nandroid backup with wimax keys backed up on your computer. 10.now you can reboot. 11.using a file manager of some sort or even through your computer via usb, you should rename or delete the PC36IMG file on your card. otherwise you will be asked to update every time you go to the hboot screen. you do not need that file any more. step 3 flash the su file or flash a rom Spoiler if you want to just stay on the stock rom, but you want it rooted then here is what you will need to do(not really sure why you would want to as there are many roms that are waaaaaay better then stock. the latest mikg for example is amazing!!!). the su file is not a rom. it allows access to rooted apps to the system partitions. stay on stock Spoiler you will need the latest su(superapp) found here: Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip just flash that in recovery and you will have a rooted stock rom: 1.download and move the su file to the root of your sd card that means not in any folder. it just needs to be on your card. 2.go into recovery (power off, make sure fastboot is unabled, and then press and hold power+vol down) 3.select flash zip from sdcard 4.navigate to your su file by using the vol up and down button and select it with the power button. 5.once done, reboot. now you have a rooted stock rom or flash a rom: Spoiler 1.first you need the vr superwipe (this is not a rom. this is a file that wipes your sytem partitions and also wipes all the temp files as well:ZZZVR_SUPERWIPE.zip. download it and put it on your card. (optional)* 2.download the rom (i recommend MikG v3.11 [3/9/2012]) of your choice and transfer it to your card. 3.go into recovery 4.make a nandroid backup 5.select wipe from the main menu and wipe dalvik cache, cache, and data 6.select flash zip from sdcard 7.find the superwipe file and select it.(optional) 8.find your rom and select it. 9.reboot. first boot will take a bit longer then normal, so be patient. 2. Captain Throwback's method Spoiler ok thanx to the good Captain i have permission to write a version of his method here for AF members.....so here goes. first off you will need to have the bootloader unlocked, have a custom recovery, and flash the su file. all this can be done in the HTCdev method. second, you will need to disable fastboot (settings/ app/ disable fastboot) and enable usb debugging (settings/app/development) the captain's method is based off of toast's root exploit. with the bootloader unlocked and su file fashed, you can now change the misc partition. this allows you to lower your hboot so that you can use the previous root methods to finally get s-off which is like turning your securities off or like changing administrator permission on your pc. the main root methods are unrevoked and revolutionary. here are the files you will need: mtd-eng.zip flash_image.zip if you want to use unrevoked: PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed or if you want to use revolutionary Filename: PC36IMG_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.54.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.0808_NV_2.15_release_220182_signed.zip download the first two files and unzip them and move them to the sd card of your phone....via usb cable. do not unzip the PC36IMG file. now once you have done that you can now proceed below: 1. in the android folder you used previously for the HTCdev method, open the command window and enter these commands: 2. first we need to start adb so type: Code (Text): adb shell if you get $ in the prompt then you do not have root access. type Code (Text): su and you should get the $ changed to #.....if it does not then something previously went wrong. 3. next, press enter after each line Code (Text): cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image Code (Text): chmod 755 /data/flash_image Code (Text): /data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img if there is no errors then you can proceed to the next step. 4.now we need to downgrade the hboot by flashing the PC36IMG ruu: download the PC36IMG file(depending on which one you choose) and do not unzip it. rename the file so that it is only PC36IMG. make sure that you do not add any extra .zip's to the name as windows hides extensions by default. transfer the file to the root (that means not in any folder) of the sd card. power off (you most likely need to uncheck fastboot. settings/apps/uncheck fastboot.) then press and hold power+vol down. hboot should see the file and select yes to update. now check you hboot in the bootloader and it should change to either hboot 2.10 or 2.16 which unrevoked or revolutionary will now work. you can now proceed to use these guides to finally gain s-off: if your hboot is 2.10 then use this guide: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies.html if your hboot is 2.16 then use this guide: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...ooting-dummies-guide-gingerbread-edition.html 3. TacoRoot method Spoiler This method was brought to my attention thanx to captain throwback. this is not mine and all credit should go to justin case, dan rosenberg, unrevoked and alpharev, and reid holland. here is their main page:TacoRoot - HTC Universal Root Exploit 12-30-2011 - RootzWiki this method uses a vulnerability in the recovery.log that will provide a temporary root. once you have gain root then all we need to do is downgrade the hboot to 2.10 which would then allow unrevoked to fully root your phone. please read this method carefully. when you run the taco root commands it will make your phone very unstable and not useable and if you miss the step about usb debugging and setting the phone to charge only then you will need to do the undo command and start over. (a good idea is to print this out before trying this method). these are the files you will need: adb.exe fastboot.exe AdbWinApi.dll flash_image.zip mtd-eng.zip PC36IMG_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed CunningLogic-TacoRoot-3b6fae6 1.download and install htc sync:HTC Sync 3.0.5551 2.set adb: on your desktop create a folder called android. and into this folder put the adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, and the fastboot.exe files. you will be entering commands from this folder. it is going to be easier if you press and hold shift while right clicking on the android folder and then select open command window here and from there you can enter the commands. 3.download and extract the CunningLogic-TacoRoot-3b6fae6 on to the desktop. move the tacoroot.sh file over to the android folder. 4.we need to extract and then move the flash_image and the mtd-eng files on to the sd card. you can do this while the phone is on and set to disk drive via the usb cable. make sure that you do not put the extracted files in any folders. they need to be on the root of the card (very top level). 5.now we will need to reboot the phone into the stock recovery. power the phone off then press and hold power+vol down to get into the bootloader. on the bootloader menu select recovery. wait until you get the red triangle with an exclamation point. next press and hold both vol up and vol down along with the power button. this will give you the stock recovery menu select the top option to reboot the phone. 6.connect the phone to the pc via the usb cable and make sure that it is in charge only, and make sure that usb debugging is turned on, settings>apps>development>check usb debugging, and lastly that fastboot is disabled, settings>apps>uncheck fastboot. this a very important step. make sure that you do this. if you do not do this or if you skip this step, then when you run the taco root your phone will be very unstable and you will not be able to upgrade your hboot. and you will the need to skip to step 13 to enter the undo command which will return the phone to a more stable state. 7.once the phone is booted up on your pc and in the command window from the android folder enter: Code (Text): adb push tacoroot.sh /data/local/ 8. Code (Text): adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tacoroot.sh 9. Code (Text): adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --setup 10.the phone should boot up again and in the command window type Code (Text): adb shell /data/local/tacoroot.sh --root your phone will eventually reboot itself. once it does that your phone will be very unstable (most likely it will bootloop), but you will be able to use adb. DO NOT PULL THE BATTERY OUT OR REBOOT. this is normal as the adb commands will still work. just proceed to the next step and pay no attention to the phone. again like i said your phone will be very unstable at this point. 11.in the command window type: Code (Text): adb shell 12. ok you should get # in the command window if not then something went wrong. if you do get # then type: Code (Text): cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image then: Code (Text): chmod 755 /data/flash_image and last: Code (Text): /data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img the command screen should look like this when all the commands are entered: 13.now we need to get the phone stable again. in the command window type: Code (Text): /data/local/tacoroot.sh --undo your phone should now reboot again. now some people have reported that when entering this command an error occurs, "adb not found". if this is the case then close the command window then press and hold shift and right click on the android folder you created earlier. select the open command window here option. the above command should now work. 14.rename the pc36img_supersonic_s_sprint_wwe_3.70.651.1_radio_2.15.00.11.19_nv_1.90_release_161482_signed file that you downloaded earlier to PC36IMG. do not add an extra zip as windows by default hides extensions. 15.on your phone switch it back to disk drive and transfer the PC36IMG file over to the root of the sd card. 16.power off the phone and then press and hold power+vol down. this will get you to the bootloader. if you named the file correctly and if you have it on the root of the card (not in any folder) then the bootloader should see it and ask you to update. select yes 17.after it is done double check your hboot. it should now be hboot 2.10. you are now ready to use unrevoked!!!!!!!! 18.this is the best guide on rooting with unrevoked: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies.html 19.once unrevoked is finished you should have hboot 2.10 and s-off and no watermark!!!!!! Hboot 2.18 FAQ'S 1. you do not have to do captain's throwback's guide especially if you plan on staying stock. you can still flash roms and such. however, if you do not want your hboot watermarked then please follow the captain's guide or the TacoRoot method. but read them first before diving into them. 2.in HTCdev it will ask that you create a folder called android. you will then need to update the Android SDK Tools and Android SDK Platform Tools. once that is done then move the required files (adb.exe, adbWinApi.dll, and fastboot) to the android folder you created. once everything is done and your bootloader is unlocked then make sure that you run the commands in captian's guide from the android folder you created. 3.make sure that you have phone setup as charge only and not as disk drive. this will prevent the phone from being able to mount the sd card, if it is in disk drive mode. 4. i added a new root method called TacoRoot!!!! 5. i will be adding more stuff later. proceed to the second post for more root info
________________________After Rooting______________________ Life After Root Spoiler ok so you are rooted so now what? here are some apps that you can now use, now that you are rooted. if you want to use a kernel:SetCPU for Root Users use this to backup your apps: Titanium Backup ★ root if you want to run linux commands:Android Terminal Emulator now you guys can make screen shots:ShootMe (Screen Grabber) this is not an app but it is something that you can use to make sure that you have a clean environment before you flash a rom. it is called vr superwipe: ZZZVR_SUPERWIPE.zip what about bloatware you ask? well some of the apps are safe to delete. you can go here to see the list:xda-developers - View Single Post - [WIP] /system/app APK's - Safe to remove list and functions now this list is from froyo so some apps are missing from the list. if you are going to delete apps i would use titanium backup and freeze the apps first. DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER it is very buggy and creates more issues then it is worth. i would do everything manually in recovery. also this is a good way to get to know your recovery. you never know when something happens and all you have is recovery. as long as you have a working recovery you can pretty much get out of any trouble. Nandroids Spoiler what are nandroid backups and why are they important? well nandroid backups are a complete snapshot of the current state of your phone. it will save everything (contacts, apps and its data, emails and text messages, and any other mods or settings you have on your rom). think of nandroid backups as a safety net. if anything goes wrong or if you change your mind on a rom you do not like, you can always go back and restore a previous nandroid backup. just remember that anytime you make any changes to your phone always make a nandroid backup. also to save space keep only a few nandroids on your card. nandroids can be pretty big depending on the rom and what you are backing up. and you can rename your nandroid backups. just make sure not to have spaces or weird symbols in the name. when doing a nandroid backup in amon ra, make sure to keep the first three checked then check wimax (you do not need to do this all the time.) just keep one nandroid backup with your wimax keys backed up on your computer. the rest of the time when doing nandroid backups, you can just backup the first three in amon ra. also if you have your sd card partitioned (see the Partitioning and Moving Apps to the Card section for the how to's) you should select sd ext as well. this wiil also backup all your apps. clockwork mod will backup wimax automatically. one of the things you can do to help keep your nandroid backups organized is to rename them. but in order to do that you have to know where to find them. in amon ra recovery they are found in the nandroid folder that is created on the sd card. in clockwork mod they are found in the clockwork mod folder. for amon ra there is a sub folder that is phone specific. mine is named: HT0CVHL01139. inside this folder is your nandroid backup. it should look like:BDES-20120323-0530. now to rename them, you can rename them to anything that you like, just do not use any weird symbols and do not use spaces within the name. for me i usually just rename them by deleting the BDES part and insert the name of the rom it belongs to. for instance CM7-20120323-0530 could be a name of one of my nandroid backups. also if you notice the numbers correspond to date and time. now how do i make a nandroid backup you ask? well i will only go into what amon ra has to say on how to do it. if you have clockwork mod recovery.....the idea is very similar. so here goes: 1. boot into the bootloader (power the phone off, then press and hold power+vol down) 2. in the bootloader menu select "recovery" 3. select the "backup/restore" option 4. select "nandroid backup" 5. only do the first three that are already checked (unless you have partitioned your sd card) 6. select "perform backup" 7. this may take a bit depending if you opted to compress the nandroid backup or not (it is one of the options you can select). if you did opt to compress it will save space on your sd card, but it will take longer to do.......if you do not then it should only take a few minutes up to 5 min to make a nandroid backup....provided you have the room on your sd card. 8. select return once the nandroid backup is done to go back to the main menu. 9. now you can either reboot or flash a rom which is covered in the next section. Flashing Spoiler this is all good, but how do i flash a rom or kernel? good point so here is what you do to flash a rom: 1.first you need the vr superwipe: ZZZVR_SUPERWIPE.zip download it and put it on your card. (optional)* 2.download the rom of your choice(DO NOT EXTRACT THE FILE.) and transfer it to your card. 3.go into recovery 4.make a nandroid backup 5.select wipe from the main menu and wipe dalvik cache, cache, and data 6.select install (or flash depending on which recovery you have) zip from sdcard 7.find the superwipe file and flash it.(optional) 8.find your rom and flash it. 9.reboot. first boot will take a bit longer then normal, so be patient. *the vr superwipe is an optional step, but i would recommend that you use it. it wipes system, cache, and boot. it wipes those three times. then it wipes the temp files and does that three times. i would not only use this tool to wipe. it should be done in addition to wiping data, dalvik cache and cache. one last thing about superwipe, this will only work with those that have support for amend scripting. only clockwork mod 2.6, amon ra 2.3, and trwp will work. so if you have clockwrok mod 3 and higher you might want to switch recoveries. to flash a kernel 1.download the kernel and place it on your card. 2.make a nandroid backup 3.wipe dalvik cache and cache. there is no need to wipe data or to flash the superwipe when flashing kernels. 4.select "install zip" and find and select your kernel 5.reboot now you have a new kernel. and to get the most of your new kernel look into getting SetCPU for Root Users, this app will allow you to over and underclcok your phone and it will allow you to set your cpu governors which sets how fast the cpu speed gets scaled up or down to the desired settings. some governors also has a screen off profile which can also help save battery life. for more on setcpu read this guide: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/210253-setcpu-guide.html here is a great guide by fellow AF member argedion: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/441044-flash-guide-us-all-d.html. Roms, Kernels, Themes and More Spoiler Roms ok so now you know how to flash a rom, so now where do i go to get them? there are a bunch of places that you can go to get your roms. there is a thread here in this forum ROMs and Kernels Download Page check it out. also check out the xda development forum:EVO 4G Android Development - xda-developers. make sure that you read the dev's op as it will tell you the download instructions as well as give you what is in the rom and some of its features. the main idea is to know what you are flashing before flashing the rom. there are two main types of roms that are out there. there is aosp (android open source project)roms then there is sense roms. sense roms are the roms that most people are familiar with. it has the familiar sense launcher that htc installs on all of their phones. while aosp is pure android. it has no sense launcher. depending on the rom it will use a launcher like adw or launcher pro. Kernelswhat are kernels? basically kernels communicates with and adjusts the voltage between the hardware(battery) and software(either sense or aosp) of your phone according to frequency. how much voltage a kernel decides to provide to and from your phone and at what frequency will depend on the type of kernels. all roms comes with its own custom(usually stock) kernel. they are like roms in that they come in two types. one is for sense roms and one is for aosp roms. they can't work on both. so like roms you need to checkout the changelog to see what is going on with kernels and what was updated. also gingerbread roms needs a kernel designed for gingerbread. the froyo kernels will not work on gingerbread. one last thing on kernels and that is that not all kernels will react the same way on every phone. what works for me may not work for you. the only true way to know is to make a nandroid backup and flash the kernel. give it a few days for it to settle in before deciding if the kernel works or not. you can get the kernels from the xda or the rom/kernel download page. you can read more on kernels in the KERNELS For Dummies Themesok so i want to theme my phone. are there themes i can flash? yes there are a lot of themes out there that you can just flash from recovery. head on over to EVO 4G Themes and Apps...xda. and don't forget to read the op for installation instructions. just keep in mind that most of the themes are rom specific. when you flash a theme all you need to do is wipe dalvik cache and cache and flash the theme. Partitioning and Moving Apps to the Card Spoiler the issue is that the evo has a small amount of ram on the phone. not sure what htc was thinking when designing the evo. but there is the apps2sd that can be sort of helpful. when you go to settings/applications/manage apps and then move the apps to the sd card, you are using apps2sd. it moves the apps to the sd card, but it only moves part of the app to the card. the other part is still left on the phone. that is why you can't use any widgets attached to the app when it is moved to the card. so what is taking up all of the ram then? well your phone, as it is, has the dalvik cache which the phone uses to load any executable files that it needs. and then there is cache where your temp files are stored. of course there is your apps. and finally there is the stock rom with sense 1.0. so you can see how fast your ram will disappear. the only way to get around this is to be rooted. the custom roms that are out now are much smaller and faster then the stock rom. plus you can partition your card and use a2sd which is different then apps2sd. a2sd moves the entire app to your card. the only thing left on your phone is a symbolic link that tells the phone where to find the app on your card. it saves a ton of ram by doing this. just to give you an idea i have 160 apps with still 250mb left! there are two types of a2sd scripts. one is cm a2sd and the other is darktremor a2sd. usually if a rom has a2sd cooked in, it usually has cm a2sd. when you flash your rom your apps when restored with titanium backup will automatically be move to the sd card. with darktremor a2sd, you would first need a rom to have support for it, and then you need to flash darktremor into the rom. once flashed then you can manually push the apps to the card by using terminal emulator to enter the commands. you will need a higher class card to do this, preferably a class 6 or higher. the higher class card is need especially if you use intensive apps like games and such. the reason is that since the apps are on the card the phone then needs to read and write on the card as the app runs. so if you have a slower card your apps will suffer. Partition Your Card Spoiler it is recommended that you do this before trying to flash a rom. so here are the directions on how to do it: 1.copy your content of the card to a computer because partitioning will wipe the card's content. 2.go into recovery and select partition your sd card 3.enter 32 for swap, and 1024 or 2048 for ext2, and do the rest for FAT 4.select upgrade ext2 to ext3 5.select usb-ms toggle and transfer your contents of your card on your computer back to the card. 6.go to the main menu and do a full wipe (min data, dalvik cache and cache) 7.flash the superwipe 8.flash the rom of your choice. 9.reboot from now on it is recommended you wipe dalvik cache, cache, data and sd ext.before flashing roms. MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT SELECT WIPE SD CARD as it will do just that. your card will be erased. also make sure that when making a nandroid backup to select sd ext to be backed up as well. How to Install Darktremors Spoiler 1.download the file:Version 22.214.171.124 Beta 04 2.transfer the file to the card. 3.wipe dalvik cache and cache and flash the file and reboot 4.getAndroid Terminal Emulator from the market 5.type in the command su and enter. the superuser app will then give permission. 6.then type a2sd reinstall. this will move your apps to the ext 3 of the card. 7.the phone will then reboot 8.type su again and enter 9.type a2sd cachesd. this will move the dalvik cache to the ext3 on the card. 10.the phone will reboot again. if you want more commands for darktremor here is a list:Darktremor Apps2SD Command Line Help | Facebook here is the original thread: [Script][A2SD]Darktremor 22.214.171.124 Beta 04 [Evo] (01/29/2011) - xda-developers Troubleshooting (thanx Rxpert83) Spoiler This guide is brought to you by Rxpert83. OTA's (Over the Air) Spoiler Ok so we just had an update a few months back called gingerbread. and as many of you guys know it closed the previous exploit so that rooting was not possible until now. so what do we do when the next ota (if there is another ota)is released? DO NOT ACCEPT THE OTA. it could really make a mess out of your phone. or it could even unroot your phone and then you will have to wait again for a rooting process as the ota will most likely close the previous exploit. this also goes for any rooted phone regardless if it is an evo or not. so how do we get updated then if we are rooted? well usually the devs will get a hold of the source code for the ota earlier then the actual release. so all we would have to do is flash a rom with the latest update ota and we are updated. please read this: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/486888-new-ota-4-67-651-3-out-do-not-accept.html Links and Guides: Spoiler start with this:HTC Evo 4G Rooting Essentials Here! here is a great basic troubleshooting guide:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...g-issues-your-rooted-evo-look-here-first.html the rooting process is old news now, but there is a ton of info here that you should know: ROOTING For Dummies to get roms and kernels go here:ROMs and Kernels Download Page we try to keep this list up to date. here is a guide for kernels to give you better battery life:KERNELS For Dummies Unrooting Spoiler ok so you want to unroot your phone. unfortunately, the process is more complicated then the previous methods. basically to get rid of the watermark you will need to change the misc partition and then you can flash the PC36IMG RUU to finish the process in getting a stock rom and recovery. these are the files you will need: adb.exe fastboot.exe AdbWinApi.dll HTC Sync 3.0.5551 Java Runtime Environment (JRE)make sure that you have htc sync installed and that you have the latest java running. flash_image.zip mtd-eng.zip PC36IMG_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.67.651.3 step #1 downgrading the misc partition 1.download the first three files and create a folder and call it android then move the downloaded files to the android folder. 2.download and install (do not run) htc sync:HTC Sync 3.0.5551 3.connect your phone to the pc via usb cable 4.we need to extract and then move the flash_image and the mtd-eng files on to the sd card. make sure that you do not put the extracted files in any folders. they need to be on the root of the card (very top level) 5.change the setting from disk to charge only, make sure that usb debugging is turned on, settings>apps>development>check usb debugging, and lastly make sure that fastboot is disabled, settings>apps>uncheck fastboot. 6.on your pc hold shift while right clicking on the android folder. select open command window here option. 7. in the command window type: Code (Text): adb shell ok you should get # in the command window if not then something went wrong. if you do get # then type: Code (Text): cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image then: Code (Text): chmod 755 /data/flash_image and last: Code (Text): /data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img the command screen should look like this when all the commands are entered: Spoiler step #2 installing the stock rom and recovery 1.download the 4.67 PC36IMG file and rename it by deleting everything but the PC36IMG part in the name. make sure not to add an extra zip as windows hides extensions. 2.move it to the root of the sd card that means on the top level of the card and not in any folders. 3.power off then press and hold power+vol down. this will take you to the bootloader. if you named the file right and it is on the root of the card then it will ask you to update. select yes. 4.before you reboot your phone double check your bootloader screen. at the top it should say locked and your hboot should be 2.18 with s-on. if that is what you see then congrats!!!!!!!!!! you are now unrooted!!!!!!!!!!!! if you used the captain's method or taco root to root your phone then you will need to use the guides for either unrevoked or revolutionary to unroot you. for unrevoked: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies.html for revolutionary: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...ooting-dummies-guide-gingerbread-edition.html
Looks good even as a "rough draft" I hope the revolutionary guys are able to overcome this as for many this may be a daunting task.
Does this mean this method can be done using a Mac (ie without the initial need of a PC for installing revolutionary..that was the only "rate limiting step" that kept us Mac users from easily rooting)...??
i'm not sure on the mac. this process uses adb commands so i'm not too sure how that will work on a mac. i think you will still need to run windows on a mac via something like parallel.
I know adb is available for mac However I am not sure how easy it is to use. The prevail can only be rooted via adb and mac users are able to do it in the prevail forum. ya just looked again, they have adb for linux and mac, might be the same thing not sure.
not sure but you can try this:[GUIDE] Using ADB & FASTBOOT in OSX / Mac - xda-developers to get adb setup then try the guide.
I knew we'd be getting the HTC dev unlockable boots, although its much better to root through revolutionary or unrevoked if you can. Dont accept the OTA!
@OCN Are we sure this will watermark the 4g? just wondering but that is probaly right if it does the 3d. Just wondering if anyone has reported back after doing this.
yes it will. once you use the htc method to get it unlocked it will say in hboot "unlocked" at the very top. kind of hard not to miss it, unfortunately.
In the part where you describe flashing recovery via adb, you are describing how to flash a kernel/boot.img. The correct command is "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
yes your are correct. i will edit the op. was up late and mis read some posts. thanx for the heads up.
I also decided to jump further into the Android system today in sitting in Biology. So if you need any help about this whole process just PM I have a lot of free time on my hands I'm only Sophmore in highschool and I'm using my free time jumping into Android, girls can wait
any help is always appreciated. but shouldn't you be concentrating on school and girls rather then us folks here in AF?
Just to make sure everyone's aware of it, you can unlock your NAND (achieve S-OFF) after unlocking the 2.18 HBOOT with the HTCDev.com site. I put together a rough guide here on how to do it: [GUIDE][WIP] How to achieve S-OFF after unlocking 2.18 HBOOT with HTCDev.com - No More Watermark! The watermark will be gone, and you'll be good to go!
Dood, you the man! On a side note there's a sweet Whitesnake song on the radio right now! I'm rockstar kicking around the field office!
so thanx to captain throwback we can now get s-off and no watermark on your rooted evo. i edited the op with the info and a link to catain's guide. now guys go and get your root on
When I go to the HTCDev site, there is no EVO 4G in the drop down menu where you "Choose you device"??? The closest thing would be the EVO View 4G??? I guess. What do you use??? I have defected to the 3vo but am looking into helping a coupla friends root their Evos....and knowing them they probably have already accepted the OTA. PS....I am rooted on my 3vo via HTCdev with S-ON. Would this S-off tool work on the 3vo? I know that is a long shot but thought I would ask.... Thanks in advance!!!!
select the very last option in the dropdown box. it should be All Other Supported Models i do not think that capatians method will work for the 3vo just yet. but i could be wrong. i would wait until captain says otherwise.
Hi there - Perhaps you missed this from the OP: Also, regarding the S-OFF method for the 4G working on the 3D - do NOT do it!! They are two completely different devices with different partition sizes and locations. You'd just end up bricking it. If an Engineering bootloader surfaces for the 3D (unlikely at this stage), it might be possible, but due to all the trouble I hear with the 1.50 HBOOT for the 3D, I doubt it. But I'm sure the 3D devs will keep working on it.
select the very last option in the dropdown box. it should be All Other Supported Models i do not think that captains method will work for the 3vo just yet. but i could be wrong. i would wait until captain says otherwise. edit: and he has spoken.lol so there you go.

Shepherd's warning
It is Every Second Tuesday. Which means hi ho, hi ho, to Litter Mob I go.
I can't honestly say that I have missed gathering up condoms and trash in Prospect Park, but I am curious to see the woods after an eight week absence, and to say hello again to the other stalwarts, who kept the mob going in mid winter while I was away...They rock. In May, it will be one year of Litter Mobbing. And then I will reassess. I would love permanent change to take root in the woods. A wildflower trail. Serious trash cans. But for that I need more support from the stewards of the park. One year of picking up layers of trash has cleaned the woods, but if we disappear, and park policy does not change, the trash will come back, and most people will continue to avoid the beautiful forest.
Here's a look back at out first Litter Mob in Prospect Park.
Prospect Park Litter
3 comments:
Your volunteerism is inspiring-you should know I have now taken to cleaning up the litter on the block that I live on which will always gather trash since people seem to love throwing it out of their car window as they drive down our street. Still, it makes me feel better not to have to look at it. In your case you are smart to reassess.

History Of Riverboat Gambling
One of the classic images of the American frontier era is that of the riverboat gambler.
In the early 19th Century, the Mississippi river provided an efficient method for transporting goods from state to state and so became a major center for trade. Since trade centers attract people with money, the Mississippi also attracted professional gamblers. At the time, a professional gambler was very often a card sharp, a cheat who manipulated cards to achieve their desired result.
Popular Online Casino Theme
Several Internet casinos today, especially US Casinos, use the classic riverboat theme to niche the casinos. However, you can still find several riverboat casinos in business in America - not just the replicas that can be found in Las Vegas hotels.
19th Century Riverboat Gambling
In 1835, five card sharps, no doubt caught in the act of card manipulation, were hanged in Mississippi. This understandably made other card sharps reluctant to spend too much time on dry land, and so many remained on the boats that carried traders from place to place, plying their trade on these riverboats in relative safety.
20th Century Riverboat Gambling
The first casino riverboat in the modern era appeared in Iowa in 1989. In the U.S., in the 20th Century, riverboat gambling served a very specific purpose. Since many states have laws that prohibit most types of gambling on dry land, gaming on the water has arisen as an alternative. Some riverboat casinos do not even go anywhere, but are rather docked a sufficient distance from the main land to avoid legal problems.
Riverboat Gambling Today
Modern riverboat casinos have games like blackjack and roulette and plenty of slot machines. These days, many even feature Texas hold'em tournaments, taking advantage of the 21st Century boom in interest in this poker game.

The Passion Of Hernando De Soto
In Florida the great conquistador hoped to find a Golconda. Instead, he found a Golgotha. An American Heritage Book Selection
April 1967 | Volume 18, Issue 3
De Soto's death posed an immediate and macabre problem for the new commander. The Indians had believed that the white general was a demigod: the aborigine chiefs often claimed to be divine, and the invincible de Soto had fitted neatly into the same pattern. Moscoso was worried that if the Indians discovered that de Soto had died an ordinary death, they would lose their awe of the Spanish and launch an attack on the camp. To avoid this danger, de Soto's corpse was stealthily buried in the loose soil at the main entrance to the Spanish camp, where his grave would be obliterated by the constant trampling of men and horses. However, this stratagem did not deceive the Indians, who quickly noticed the freshly turned earth and began asking pointed questions about the absence of the general. Fearing that the natives might dig up and perhaps mutilate the corpse, Moscoso had de Soto's body disinterred by night and carried down to the river. There it was wrapped in a shroud, weighted with sand, and dumped from a dugout canoe into the middle of the Mississippi. It was a strange burial ground for a Knight of Santiago who had set aside ample funds for a marble tomb in the church vault at Jerez de los Caballeros.
At first thought, Moscoso, the man responsible for the success of the disastrous Chickasaw fire attack, seemed an odd choice for the position of leader. But Moscoso had an even temper and was popular with both men and officers. He had joined the expedition in order to recoup his squandered Peruvian fortune, and when he saw that the new venture would not make a profit he had consistently advocated returning home. Furthermore, he had shown an uncanny instinct for survival, having weathered shipwreck, disgrace, defeat, and illness. By choosing Moscoso as his successor, de Soto made sure that the Florida expedition would eventually head for home.
Since the Indians were still curious about de Solo's whereabouts, they were told that the great general had ascended into the sky to consult his Father, and would be returning shortly. This was a lame excuse, and it was obvious that if the Spanish lingered they would be attacked once more. Moscoso knew that he had three alternatives: he could cross the Mississippi and return eastward the way the army had come, risking the vengeance of the tribes de Soto had antagonized; he could build boats, descend the river to the Gulf, and then sail westward along the Gulf coast to New Spain; or he could try to reach Mexico overland. Typically, he asked for the opinions of his officers. None of them wanted to try the long, hard march back to Tampa. They were equally frightened of the river trip, remembering that the Narvâez expedition had drowned while attempting to flee the country in homemade boats. Therefore, they chose to try to march overland to Mexico. To forestall recriminations, Moscoso drew up an agreement and had all his officers sign it.
But the overland trek soon proved futile As soon as the Spaniards passed out of fertile, well-populated regions into the desert country, they found themselves facing starvation. The army of Florida turned about and retraced its steps. In early December, the Spanish arrived on the banks of the Mississippi for the third and last time—no longer so much the army of Florida as the army of the Mississippi. They found two small, prosperous riverside towns, well stocked with provisions, and settled down in them to spend the winter building boats. The ingenuity of the Spanish troops was remarkable. Moscoso and his hidalgos knew that their lives depended on building these boats, and even the most aristocratic officers lent a hand.
The annual March rise of the Mississippi took them all by surprise and nearly ruined their painstaking efforts. And no sooner had they cleared away the debris than they had to deal with yet another Indian attack. (It was to be preceded, as in the Chickasaw country, by incendiaries, but this time the wary Moscoso took pains to learn the Indians' plans, and thwarted them completely.) At last, on July 2, 1543, the voyagers set out. There were 322 Spaniards, 100 of the healthiest Indian slaves, seven leaky pinnaces, 22 horses on rafts, and a flotilla of dugouts. They left behind about five hundred Indian prisoners, servants, and porters whom they had acquired on their travels. Most of these unlucky natives were far from their tribal homes, and the majority undoubtedly perished.
The first part of the journey was a nightmare of Indian harassment and foundering boats and rafts. The horses proved too difficult to transport and had to be killed or abandoned. But after a few days the pursuing natives finally gave up the chase and retired upstream. Then Moscoso and his men travelled alone down the Father of Waters for seventeen more days under a blazing sun. At last, on July 16, after seven hundred miles of river travel, they came within sight of the sea. Moscoso ordered the army ashore, and the soldiers repaired the boats for a sea voyage, filled the water kegs, and recouped their strength. But they dared not linger, because the delta Indians had learned of their presence.
On Wednesday, July 18, the expedition got under way for Mexico. For two days they rowed in the fresh water that the Mississippi poured into the Gulf, and then the flotilla stood out to sea and hoisted sails. The Spanish were lucky; the weather remained calm and the little boats, gunwales barely above the water, crept westward from headland to headland, their occupants suffering miserably from thirst and mosquitoes.

Yes, it would have been cheaper and faster to throw this code away and start overMaybe. For another point of view, see Joel Spolsky on not rewriting from scratch. I agree with adrianh. If a component is not broken, don't rewrite it. Rewrite a component when you find a number of bugs in it. But first write a regression test suite for the component. I've seen many folks over the years throw out old code, rewrite it ... and introduce a heap of new bugs in the process. If you come into a new company and introduce a swag of new bugs in previously working code, you will start to smell very badly. See also:

Since Guldin showed considerable mathematical abilities so, in 1609, he was sent to the Jesuit Collegio Romano in Rome to study under Clavius who was the professor of mathematics there. Although not known for mathematical discoveries, nevertheless Clavius was an exceptionally good teacher and Guldin gained deep mathematical understanding from his lectures. Clavius was, however, a classical mathematician teaching only Euclid's geometric methods and Guldin would also take this classical approach and oppose the newer ideas of the calculus which were beginning to appear around this time. After being instructed by Clavius, Guldin taught mathematics at the Jesuit College in Rome. Then, in 1617, he moved to the Jesuit College in Graz but after a few years a severe health problem forced him to give up lecturing. In fact his first work was published shortly after he arrived in Graz. In Refutatio elenchi calendarii Gregoriani a Setho Calvisio conscripti (1618), Guldin defended his teacher Clavius's proposals for calendar reform. We know Guldin's views on mathematics at this time since he later published a lecture which he had delivered in 1622 [2]:-
[Guldin] defines mathematics according to the Aristotelian classification, as that part of philosophy lying between physics and metaphysics. Mathematics is the science that considers quantity abstracted from sensible matter. Concerning pure mathematics, arithmetic is described as the science of discrete quantity, and geometry as the science of continuous quantity. It is interesting to note the addition of algebra to the traditional disciplines of pure mathematics; of course, Guldin's conception of algebra depends in large part on the work of Viète.Also in 1622 he published a work on the centre of gravity of the Earth. He accepted the view that the centre of gravity of every large body tries to move so that will coincide with the centre of gravity of the universe. An interesting consequence was that Guldin argued that the Earth would constantly be moving.
He was sent to Vienna in 1623 where he was appointed professor of mathematics at the University. In 1629 he was sent by the Jesuit Order to teach at the Jesuit Gymnasium in the Silesian principality of Sagan which had been established by Albrecht Wallenstein after he was made Prince of Sagan in 1627. After teaching there for some time, Guldin returned to his professorship in Vienna where he remained until 1637 when he returned to Graz.
One interesting correspondence which Guldin entered into was with Johannes Kepler. Unfortunately only Kepler's letters to Guldin have been preserved but, nevertheless, they give us interesting information. Kepler wrote eleven letters to Guldin between 1618 and 1628 and these are discussed in [15]. Kepler sought Guldin's advice both on scientific matters and on religious matters, and he also asks Guldin to use his influence in the court. [15]:-
[An] example of Kepler's trust in Guldin's help and the appreciation of his advice is shown in Kepler's letter from August the 30th 1624. He had sent Guldin a petition to be forwarded to emperor Ferdinand II (1578-1637) to promote the publication of the Rudolphinian Tables. Kepler asked him now what to bring with him to Vienna to help the progress of his affair. This fact also illustrates that Guldin was a very influential person at the imperial court in Vienna. ... Kepler's last two letters to Guldin express his uneasiness concerning Guldin's expectation of Kepler's possible conversion to the Catholic Church.Kepler's financial position was poor throughout the period of their correspondence and Guldin was concerned that Kepler could not afford a telescope to carry out scientific work. One of Guldin's Jesuit friends, Nicolas Zucchi, was a telescope maker and Guldin asked him to give Kepler one of his telescopes. Kepler replied to Guldin showing that he was extremely grateful for the gift and sent Guldin his book detailing the discoveries he had made with it:-
To the very reverend Father Paul Guldin, priest of the Society of Jesus, venerable and learned man, beloved patron. There is hardly anyone at this time with whom I would rather discuss matters of astronomy than with you ... Even more of a pleasure to me, therefore, was the greeting from your reverence which was delivered to me by members of your Order who are here ... I think you should receive from me the first literary fruit of the joy that I have gained from using your gift (the telescope).Guldin's most important work is Centrobaryca seu de centro gravitatis trium specierum quantitatis continuae published in 4 volumes between 1635 and 1641. Volume 1 begins with the lecture describing the mathematical sciences which he gave in 1622 (discussed above). Since the whole work is on centres of gravity it is worth giving Guldin's definition from this volume:-
The centre of gravity of any finite quantity is that point placed either inside that quantity, or on its boundary, or outside it, around which on all sides are parts of equal moment. For either the centre itself, or the straight line, or a plane however drawn through the centre, will always cut the proposed figure in parts of equal weight.In particular, in Volume 1, he discusses the centre of gravity of the Earth. Volume 2 was published in 1640 and contains his, now famous, rule on centres of gravity. The main aim of this book was to study figures obtained by rotating other figures, for example the sphere obtained by rotating a semicircle about its diameter. Here is an example of Guldin's definition:-
A rotation is a simple and perfectly circular motion, around a fixed centre, or an unmoved axis, which is called the 'axis of rotation', turning around either a point, or a line, or a plane surface, which, almost as leaving a trace behind it, describes or generates a circular quantity, either a line, or a surface, or a body.His famous rule can be stated in the following form:-
If a plane figure is rotated about an axis in its plane then the volume of the solid body formed is equal to the product of the area with the distance travelled by the centre of gravity.Now Guldin has been particularly unfortunate in that he has been accused of plagiarism over this result. The historian David Smith states this in no uncertain terms [14]:-
The essence of Guldin's Theorem appears in the works of Pappus. These were published in 1588, 1589 and 1602, a generation or so before Guldin published (1641) his 'Centrobaryca' ... They were well known to scholars of that time as constituting the most important geometric work of the late Greek period. That a man like Guldin should have failed to know this important statement in such a well-known work is quite inconceivable.Historians have spent some time arguing this point, often unfortunately using fallacious information. The fairest assessment is certainly that of Ivor Bulmer-Thomas [5]:-
It is not as though Guldin was a spiteful man. The evidence of 'De centro gravitatis' is that he was zealous to give credit where credit was due. ... there are friendly references not only to Commandinus himself but to Clavius, Regiomontanus, Orontius, Freigius, Peter Ramus, and Cardan. If Guldin had been conscious of any debt to Pappus, he would surely have acknowledged it. This does not rule out a debt of which he was unconscious. It may very well be that Pappus's enunciation, read many years earlier, had sunk into his unconscious mind, and that when he came to write in 1640, he genuinely believed that he was producing something original. ... In the light of all the evidence, it seems best to give Guldin the benefit of the doubt - to acquit him of conscious plagiarism, but to accept that he may have brought forth from his subconscious mind the fruit of his distant reading.Volume 3 contains work on the surface and volumes of cones, cylinders and solids of revolution. Guldin uses Volume 4 to attack other mathematicians for the methods they are using. One mathematician to be attacked in this way is Cavalieri [2]:-
The debate between Cavalieri and Guldin is usually mentioned in connection with the objections made by Guldin to Cavalieri's use of indivisibles. Although that is probably the main issue between Cavalieri and Guldin, a more careful reading of the debate will allow us to indicate the existence of other interesting issues ...The argument really centres around the fact that Guldin is a classical geometer following the methods of the ancient Greek mathematicians. His first point, however, is to accuse Cavalieri of plagiarising Kepler's Stereometria Doliorum (1615) and Sover's Curvi ac Recti Proportio (1630). There is something in his argument relating to Kepler since in that work Kepler does regard a circle as an infinite polygon composed of infinitesimals. However, Cavalieri's indivisibles are different from Kepler's infinitesimals. As to the reference to Sover, Cavalieri, in his defence, points out that he wrote his book before Sover's book was published. Guldin attacks Cavalieri's indivisibles by arguing that when a surface is generated by rotating a line about the axis, the surface is not just a set of lines. He writes (see [2] or [13]):-
In my opinion no geometer will grant Cavalieri that the surface is, and could, in geometrical language be called "all the lines of such a figure"; never in fact can several lines, or all the lines, be called surfaces; for, the multitude of lines, however great that might be, cannot compose even the smallest surface.As Mancosu writes [2]:-
Guldin was a "classicist" geometer, steeped in the idea of explicit construction, sceptical of considerations of infinity in the domain of geometry, and wary of the risk of ending up with an atomistic theory of the continuum.If one asks whether Guldin or Cavalieri is right, then the answer must be Cavalieri. However, this does not make Guldin's work useless for in his support of the classical approach, he forced innovators like Cavalieri to think more deeply and to justify their methods more rigorously.
In order to understand why Guldin attacks David Rivaltus in Volume 4 we must realise that, following the line taken by his teacher Clavius, Guldin does not believe that Archimedes' results are proved in a satisfactory manner. Archimedes' proofs had been strongly attacked by the humanist Joseph Scaliger in his treatise Cyclometrica (1594). David Rivaltus replied to these criticisms in 1615 with an equally strong defence of Archimedes. Guldin, in turn, attacks Rivaltus writing [13]:-
Indeed ostensive demonstrations have always had the applause and the victory over negatives and those reducing to absurdity or impossibility, whatever Rivaltus ... says.In fact in Volume 4, published in 1641, Guldin attempts a reconstruction of most of what was then considered mathematics. His aim is to prove the results without using the method of contradiction. For example, he writes (see [2] or [13]):-
We will therefore prove ostensively, in this fourth book, through our principles from rotation and originating from the centre of gravity, the main propositions proved by Archimedes on the 'Sphere and the Cylinder' and similarly on 'Conoids and Spheroids', which he himself had established by contradiction.One point here is worth noting. Despite the argument between Guldin and Cavalieri, both agreed that proofs by contradiction are undesirable. Perhaps surprisingly, Cavalieri justified his approach by arguing that his use of infinitesimals allowed him to prove Archimedes' results without the use of 'proof by contradiction'.
Finally, let us look at some details of Guldin's library which still exists. The first fact to note is that Guldin was allowed to keep his own library, something which was very unusual for those within the Jesuit Order. Around 300 volumes have been identified as belonging to Guldin's library although many other books which have been subsequently rebound may have originally belonged to the library but have lost the evidence in the rebinding. Most of the books appear to have had no previous owners and so Guldin was buying new books. Since three books are marked as belonging to the library, yet were purchased after his death, one can deduce that he had a librarian to look after his library. What subjects interested Guldin? There are of course the works of Galileo, books on arithmetic such as that by Oronce Finé, the Alphonsine Tables, and works by Frederico Commandino. Guldin was clearly very interested in mechanics because he had a whole series of books on this subject including ones on military equipment, fortifications, artillery and pyrotechnics. Architecture also clearly interested him since he also had several works on that topic.

Grilled Tri Tip with Cilantro Lime Basmati Rice and grilled corn.
Don't you just love when you step outside on a summer evening and can smell your neighbor grilling? I do! I may even peek my head over the fence to see what they've got going on over there 🙂 In a friendly sort of way of course. I like to guess what they are having. Sometimes I'm a good guesser and sometimes it's harder to tell. Especially when my neighbor gets out his smoker. Then I just guess beef. I love grilled beef. I'm going to share with you this dish I made for #grillupyoursummer.
Yes it's grilling time, so get out your tongs and heat up those grills.
To start my meal, I marinated a 2 1/2 lb Cattleman's Finest Tri Tip.
- 2 limes (Juiced)
- cumin
- chili powder
- Pour the juice of the limes over the tri tip,
- then sprinkle on cumin and chili powder
- turn the meat over a few times and marinate it for a few hours if possible (placing the meat in the refrigerator. often it's easy to do this in a gallon zipper bag and just turn the bag over every hour)
- Grill the tri tip until it reaches 135 degrees.
- Let stand 5 minutes then slice
with the juice of two limes along with chili powder and cumin. I turned if over a few times in the marinade as the afternoon went on and by the time the sun was going down, I heated up the grill and was ready to get started.
While the grill was heating inside I added 2 cups Basmati Rice with a tablespoon of oil in a skillet on medium-high heat and stirred it until the rice just started to get golden brown. I then added 2 cups water, brought it to a boil, turned it on low and covered it with a lid for 20 minutes. While my rice was cooking I was almost ready to head outside.
I took three ears of corn and pulled down the husks to remove the silk. Ran the corn under cold water to remove any loose silk and be sure they were clean. I pulled the husks back over the corn and brought them out to put on the grill along with Cattleman's Finest Tri-Tip.
The grill was nice and hot and I placed the tri tip on the grill along with the corn on the cob.
The husks do get black, but I really love the taste of corn on the grill. I don't even mind if a few kernels get burnt. Is that odd or does everyone expect to see some black specks in their grilled food like I do.
The meat cooked up pretty quickly as well as the corn, by the time I brought the Tri Tip into the house, the rice was just about done. Perfect timing!
I juiced two limes and chopped a bunch of fresh cilantro to toss into the rice with some chili powder and cumin, about a teaspoon of each.
I cut the corn off with a knife and everything was smelling so good, I could hardly wait to cut into the meat. I did let it rest for a few minutes while I got everything else ready.
I cooked the Tri Tip to 135 degrees. It does cook just a bit more as it's resting. It was nice and pink inside.
Cattleman's Finest is having a Sweepstakes so if you like voting, here is your chance for your vote to be heard and you will also have a chance to win a $50 Smart and Final Gift Card and a Weber 220 Grill.
This project has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for #collectivebias. The opinions are my own.

Servite High grad aspires for a marquee role
For Cole Irvin, every start is akin to the one before.
None of the assorted variables of his sport of choice – time, opponent, significance of the moment – matter to the 6-foot-4-inch southpaw.
"To me, a game is a game," said Irvin, a stoic, even-keeled freshman at the University of Oregon. "It doesn't matter who the opponent is, they still have to hit my stuff."
Yet, through the stanch exterior, a glimmer of vulnerability peeks through.
"It's my goal to be the Friday Night Guy," he said, candidly. "It's another game, another set of innings, but that's just a goal I've always had, and a goal I still want to obtain.
"I'm not there yet, but that's the No. 1 thing on my list."
Even though he's honed a philosophy predicated on submerging the irrevocable nature of baseball, Irvin has no reservations expressing his desire to assume the slot reserved for a team's most dependable starting pitcher.
That's because it's a slot Irvin has coveted since his arrival on campus.
"(Starting on Friday) is about being able to start the club off with a win, and providing the enthusiasm to win or sweep the series," he said. "It's about being the guy that controls the weekend. That's the one thing I've always wanted to do.
"That first win is the most crucial of the series, and I want to be the guy who gets it."
Prior to college, Irvin lettered four years at Servite High. There, in addition to facing Division I-caliber hitters on a daily basis, he learned the rigors associated with succeeding on the highest level.
"Under Coach (Dave) Lawn, and then Coach (Jeff) Sears my senior year, the program was ran at a high standard," said Irvin, who was drafted out of Servite in the 29th round of the 2012 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft by the Toronto Blue Jays.
"Playing at Servite got me ready for where I'm at right now."
Rather than turn professional last summer, Irvin enrolled at Oregon where, by the start of the season, he'd assumed the No. 3 slot in the Ducks' rotation.
On Feb. 17 – his college debut – Irvin scattered five hits in seven innings on the road at Hawaii. A week later, he twirled eight innings of six-hit ball in a 6-1 victory over Loyola Marymount.
In nine starts through the weekend, the 19-year-old touted a 7-1 record with a 3.45 earned run average in a team-high 60 innings pitched.
"Mentally, I'm actually where I was coming into the year, focused, knowing that I can do it," said Irvin, who tossed a four-hit shutout against Washington on March 30. "I know I can beat these guys with my stuff, and that's all I have to do.
"At the end of the day, they still have to hit a round ball with a round bat."
With talent to spare, an unwavering approach and a magnificent overture thus far, it appears to be only a matter of time until Irvin begins terrorizing opposing lineups every Friday night.
"My life revolves around baseball," he said. "This game, it's not just a game, it's life. You see the ups and downs, the highs and lows. You see every player go through a slump, and then rise above it. That's life, too.
"When you get down, there's only one way to go, and that's up. That's the thing I've learned about baseball – it's really a game of life."

Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Sees 4% Hedge-Fund Returns
Margaret Collins and Saijel KishanGoldman Sachs Group Inc.'s private-wealth-management unit expects hedge funds to return an average of 4 percent to 5 percent over the next five years as the industry struggles amid low interest rates.
"Everybody hopes to get the five hedge funds, all of whom are going to have 15 percent returns," Sharmin Mossavar-Rahmani, chief investment officer of Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management's Investment Strategy Group, said at a press briefing today. "People need to be more realistic."
The $2.19 trillion hedge-fund industry last year trailed global stocks for the fifth time in seven years, posting a 6.7 percent gain, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The MSCI All-Country World Index returned 17 percent in 2012, and the Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 16 percent.
Federal Reserve officials said last year they will keep interest rates near zero as long as the jobless rate is above 6.5 percent and inflation is forecast to be 2.5 percent or less. Previously they said they will keep rates low through at least mid-2015.
Mossavar-Rahmani said investors are "overestimating" how much hedge funds can return in excess of market indexes. While some managers may do well, the low-interest-rate environment makes it difficult to produce double-digit returns, she said.
"They don't walk on water," Mossavar-Rahmani said.
Equity funds and event-driven funds, those that invest in companies undergoing transactions such as mergers or spinoffs, may benefit if stock markets rise next year, she said.

Every time I listen to Obama speak, I spend all morning feeling so inspired thinking about how the world will change for the better. And I start to blog hop and groove in my own little world at my desk… and then i have to sit back and worry. Because so many of my dailies and random blog hops show support for McCain that I'm actually a little shocked. I don't know how much they follow politics but I just can't fathom how anyone can think the world will be better off with those two leading the country. Did anyone even watch the Palin debate? Joey Sickpacks and hockey moms? *shakes head* I don't want to let this go into a rant cause I'm not even American. So I'll just leave it at this. Please do your research when voting in this up coming election. And vote right.
Ok, now onto fun stuff! My dear lovely friend Mendy over at Poetic Frog emailed me the cutest thing ever in the whole wide world. Behold!
Isn't she adorable?????? *squeeeeeeeeee* *glomps* *hugs Mendy* I wish I was even half that talented when it comes to pixling. She's just so cute to me that I've been sitting here for a while now just looking at her <3 (when i should be getting ready for work!). One of the great thing about the internet is all the amazing ppl you'll meet that you never would have met without it. I feel privledged to have met so many womderful people online. *HUGS ALL OF YOU*
Ok. ENOUGH OF THE MUSHY STUFF. Well.. just one more thing that could be considered a little mush worthy. Here's a pic of Andy and I at the wedding and the outfit I made. ~_~ And doesn't Andy look adorable in a tux??? ./swoon

Charlize Theron wielding a flame thrower and Michael Fassbender riding a bike and shooting hoops are just some of the new bits and bobs of footage to be found in the latest featurette for Ridley Scott's hugely anticipated "Prometheus."
This three-and-a-half-minute featurette is mostly your standard EPK stuff, with the cast and writers — Noomi Rapace, Guy Pearce, Logan Marshall-Green, Jon Spaihts, Damon Lindelhof — all offering up empty quotes, but it's the footage framing it that's the most interesting, offering even more glimpses of the upcoming film. There's a part of us worried that we're seeing a bit too much (there's one rather big spaceship explosion that feels like too much of a reveal), yet at the same time, it's still keeping us feverishly excited for the pic. However, it's the opening two questions that kick off the promo vid that sum up the themes the movie will be tackling quite succinctly: "Where do we come from?" and "What is our purpose?" And by the looks of it, those are questions that were probably better left unasked.
"Prometheus" arrives on June 8th.

Batting coach Dave Hansen is the only member of the Dodgers' coaching staff who will not return to his current position in 2013, the team announced Friday. The 43-year-old has been offered another position within the organization.
Hansen was named interim hitting coach in July 2011 after Jeff Pentland was fired at midseason, and had the "interim" tag removed prior to the 2012 season.
As a team, the Dodgers ranked near the bottom of the 16-team National League in many key categories, including runs (13 th), slugging percentage (15 th) and home runs (15 th). They ranked first in sacrifice hits, but that was often attributed to their inability to advance runners with base hits.
Inexplicably, the Dodgers endured a team-wide, month-long slump after acquiring Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Nick Punto from the Boston Red Sox on Aug. 25. Over their next 29 games, the Dodgers went 12-17 while batting .240, hitting 24 home runs and averaging 3.3 runs per game.
The returning coaches include pitching coach Rick Honeycutt, first base coach Davey Lopes, third base coach Tim Wallach, bench coach Trey Hillman, bullpen coach Ken Howell, catching coach Steve Yeager, bullpen catcher Rob Flippo, as well as Manny Mota and Mickey Hatcher.
Wallach is a candidate for the Boston Red Sox manager's job. If hired, he would leave the Dodgers with two coaching vacancies to fill this winter.
Hatcher, 57, was the Angels' hitting coach from 2000 until he was fired in May. He joined the Dodgers as a special assistant to the general manager but quickly became an all-purpose in-uniform coach.
Hatcher played for the Dodgers in six of his 12 major league seasons (1979-80, 1987-90) and would appear to be a logical choice to succeed Hansen.
Angle, Hawksworth outrighted
The Dodgers outrighted outfielder Matt Angle to Triple-A Albuquerque and reinstated right-handed pitcher Blake Hawksworth from the 60-day disabled list before outrighting him to Albuquerque. Hawksworth had had arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder Aug. 22 and is not expected to pitch next season. Angle batted .303 and stole 13 bases in 115 games at Albuquerque in 2012.

Here's a few sneak peeks taken before the Oscar retrospective fashion show at the Academy today, curated by Vogue's Andre Leon Talley. Inside the Samuel Goldwyn Theater, Paul Starr's makeup artists and Mark Townsend's crack team of hair stylists were busy all morning getting the models prepped for the 10 a.m. show attended by fashionistas, stylists, costume designers, jewelers, shoe makers, fashion press and held downstairs in the lobby.
Starr focused on the smoky defined eyes and gave a subdued lip to all the models who would wear the vintage Oscar gowns worn by Oscar winners and presenters Cher, Mitzi Gaynor, Elizabeth Taylor, Barbra Streisand, Faye Dunaway, Keira Knightley, Scarlett Johansson, Rene Zellweger, Hilary Swank and Jennifer Garner.
Townsend used his client Cate Blanchett's very modern low
chignon — he did her hair in this style for the Screen Actors Guild
Awards — as the template for all the model's hair. Here's the Oscar hair diagram.Warning: this is for professional hairstylists only. Don't try this at home. And for a look at the faaaaabulous finale of the show…
From right to left, Oscar gowns worn by Elizabeth Taylor (designed by Edith Head), Cher (designed by Bob Mackie), Keira Knightley (designed by Vera Wang), Halle Berry (designed by Elie Saab), Carol Channing (designer unknown but the darn thing weighs 50 lbs!) and Jennifer Lopez (designed by Karl Lagerfeld). I tried to get a shot of the back of that sheer Cher gown that look amazing going up those stairs but the models were too fast for me. Hopefully, I can find a shot on a photo wire service and post it later. Trust me, it's worth revisiting. Here's my pathetic attempt. At least you get to see Oscar producer Laura Ziskin and Oscar fashion spokesman Andre Leon Talley's at the bottom left. However, I admit that their rear views aren't quite as exciting.

Huang He Ancient Floods and Recent Water ScarcityDuring the winter dry season the Huang He is slow-moving and silt-laden, and occupies only part of its huge bed; with the summer rains, it can become a raging torrent. Since the 2d cent. B.C., the lower Huang He has inundated the surrounding region some 1,500 times and has made nine major changes in its course. In an attempt to halt the Japanese invasion of China in 1938, the Chinese diverted the Huang He south, flooding more than 20,000 sq mi (51,800 sq km) and killing some 900,000 people; it was returned to its present course in 1947. The Chinese have long sought to control the Huang He by building dikes and overflow channels. Silt deposition, the principal cause of flooding, has elevated the riverbed; in places the river flows 60 to 70 ft (18–21 m) above the surrounding plains. During the summer high-water period, water pressure against the dikes can break through the retaining walls to cause devastating floods, which have led the Huang He to be called "China's Sorrow." In 1955 the Chinese initiated a 50-year construction plan for control of the river. Dikes have been repaired and reinforced, and a series of silt-retaining dams are being constructed to control the upper river, produce electricity, and provide water for irrigation. The People's Victory Canal, a 40-mi-long (64-km) diversion and irrigation channel, connects the Huang He with the Wei River. In recent years, however, extensive use of the river's waters has severely reduced the flow of the Huang He in its lower reaches, and its flow often fails to reach the sea. In 2000 the Chinese government embarked on program to replenish the oversubscribed waters of the Huang He with those of the Chang (Yangtze); three sets of canals would divert water from the upper, middle, and lower Chang. Although the work on the upper (western) diversion routes could take as much as 50 years, much of the work on the other routes is expected to be largely completed by 2014. Sections in this article:

About Andreas Fischer
Unlike conventional machines that are designed to help humans increase their efficiency, Andreas Fischer's kinetic sculptures perform seemingly random acts in an often dysfunctional manner. Removed from the mundane context of daily life, his contraptions are infused with a human spirit. Activated by motion sensors assembled from recycled appliances and other found utilitarian objects, the works come to life only in the physical presence of a viewer—one of the many ways that Fischer focuses our attention on the collaboration between man and machine.

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" seems primed to get quite the makeover in Season 4.
Fresh after the departures of long-time cast members Adrienne Maloof and Camille Grammar, part-time Season 3 Housewife Marisa Zanuck has hinted that she will not be returning to the Bravo show.
"In truth, I have moved past all of the drama, and I don't want to acknowledge it anymore," Zanuck writes on her official Bravo blog after the show's season finale on Monday (March 25). "This is my final blog and I want to dedicate it to all of you that have supported me immensely throughout this experience."
Writing with a definite sense of finality, Zanuck addresses the challenges that one faces when taking part in the franchise. "I don't think anyone or anything can prepare someone for becoming a part of the Housewives," she writes "A Housewife must be many things: she must be media-savvy and tech-savvy. She must think about what she says and its potential impact, she must have a thick skin to handle the constructive criticism and a sense of humor about her to enjoy the creativity of the many writers that blog the show. A Housewife must also recognize that she is not perfect and be willing to learn from her mistakes. If 10,000 people are telling you that you are being a b***h, they can't all be wrong."
After her blog posting made headlines, Zanuck quickly jumped on Twitter to backtrack a bit. "To answer many of those who are asking!! I'm not sure if I will be asked back to the show for season 4. We all have to wait and see!!!" she tweeted. "I don't know what I want or if they will even want me back but thank you to everyone who's been so great!!"
Part two of the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" Season 3 reunion special airs on Monday, April 1 at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

Top 10 Pet Resolutions
If your pet made New Year's resolutions, what do you think she'd put on the list? We decided to have a little fun and offer a few ideas:
From the Dog:
This will be the year I…
1. Finally catch a squirrel!
How dare they always run up a tree? I know, I'll set a trap for them. I'll leave a bone in plain view and hide by the bush. Then, when they come down…
2. Get more walks (or runs)
It's time to really lose this weight. And, since sitting is the new smoking, I figure Mom and Dad can get in on the action too. Come on, let's go!
3. Learn to operate the car window
Rides are fun but rides with my head out the window make me feel at one with nature. I love feeling the wind blow through my fur.
4. Stop choosing the rug
As the recipient for my tummy issues. Yes, it holds in the scent far better than the bare floor but the humans don't seem to appreciate my efforts.
5. Learn to open the refrigerator
Seriously. There's so much goodness in there and I know my people want to share. I think I can get the cat to work with me on this one.
From the cat…
1. Stop guarding the stairs
OK, maybe I'll still guard them but I won't pounce on the dog when he needs to pass. This one's gonna be hard because he's such a scaredy cat. Get it? The dog's a scaredy cat! LOL, I crack myself up.
2. Stop re-enacting Pamplona's Running with the Bulls
At least I'll refrain from doing it at 3 a.m. across their chests. I'm good like that.
3. I will not liberate the goldfish
It never goes well. Especially for me. I am wet and usually locked up somewhere. Plus, I never get the fish.
4. Stop stealing the dog's bed
Listening to the dog's fitful whimpers when I claim his bed for my own doesn't bring the same level of excitement that it used to. Alas, I'll just have to take up permanent residence on the kitchen table from now on. The humans won't like that very much…
5. Indulge the humans
When I lounge in the clean laundry, they're able to take a little bit of me with them everywhere because my fur coats their clothes. This seems to make them very happy because they always get a little excited whenever I do it. What's not to love?
