continue to have rev to close due to something that caused it to stop...tried to manually install recovery but says waiting for device...even after i installed HTC drivers.....not sure what else to do now......
[EVO 4G General] reggiedarden:
If your s-off at this point, you can grab a PC36IMG.zip file that has a custom recovery and you'll be good to go. That's what I did.
[EVO 4G General] oski252:
thats exactly what i did, had ra 2.3 just renamed to pc36img and placed on sd card......

What roms are compatible with this root method. I remember when I had a Thunderbolt there were different roms for Gingerbread, and AOSP. I'd like to know what is safe to flash after using this root method.

[EVO 4G General] thirdeye18:
Really hoping I didn't hose my phone. So I seem to be stuck in some kind of boot loop. When I get to hboot and try to boot to recovery sometimes it does and sometimes it goes straight through to trying to start up the phone like normal. When I get to the lock screen the phone freezes and reboots. When I am able to boot into recovery I am unable to access the sdcard which means I can not restore any of my backups or install zips from there either.

As far as I can tell the problem started after I updated the super user program through titanium backup. This and installing Titanium backup were the only things I did after getting running revolutionary and installing su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G General] airportcabbie:
Very simplified set of instructions because sometimes we overlook things :-)

First make sure you are logged onto pc as an administrator and phone is NOT plugged into pc.

Then make sure revolutionary is fully extracted.

Then Set revolutionary to run as administrator AND if on win 7 use compatibility mode for xp sp3

Then completely Uninstall ANYTHING regarding HTC: Drivers, sync etc.

Then REBOOT your pc.

Log in as administrator

THEN Install drivers

Then REBOOT (YES, AGAIN)

Log in as administrator

Make sure phone is fully booted and isnt syncing but is just sitting at the homescreen.

verify that usb debugging is checked.

verify that fastboot is UN-checked

Plug in phone to pc.

In the notification bar set phone to "charge only"

Let things settle for a minute. Windows will find new hardware and install new drivers etc. just give it a bit to work everything out. Then a little bit more.

Now browse to where you fully extracted revolutionary and run it.

Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G General] JagoRacing:
I have root! ahhh feels good. I am such a noob... I was trying a beta key and kept saying invalid and i was like freak!!!!! then i realized that when i was on the rev website and it asked if i was linux or windows i had clicked linux thinking it was asking what system my phone was... went back and clicked windows, got a new key and it worked. facepalm... good luck to the rest who are still having troubles... i followed step by step and worked...
[EVO 4G General] treo4life:
Looks like a clean wipe in recovery is what you need, just had a friends EVO do the same thing, clean wipe and good as new..
[EVO 4G General] treo4life:
Invalid key issue

And for all of those having the invalid key issue, there is a new version of the tool, pre4. the first one was pre3...delete pre3 and DL the pre4 version from the site and you should be good....:)
[EVO 4G General] thirdeye18:
I will see if I can get to that point. Most of the time now I am lucky if it will even let me access the recovery at all. I have already gone as far as to install the stock RUU, which as far as I can tell performs a wipe when done from the hboot. If I can get to one of the recoveries I will see If I can fix things by wiping everything possible (btw I have been reinstalling amon Ra after installing the stock since I read that this erases the custom recoveries).
[EVO 4G General] HunterNIU:
Just a heads up, I got Synergy Rom RLS1 + GodMode up and working after using this method to get S-Off.

So far extremely happy with it. I lost about an hour of battery life over sprint's stock rom (rooted) which isn't bad for all the extras you get.

[EVO 4G General] treo4life:
To get root (required to backup apps on the phone before installing a custom ROM), you must flash this package in the recovery: http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2....fgh-signed.zip

Used this method, then I installed the cyanogenmod 7. Only noticed a few problems after I rooted and installed this ROM. I was curious if any of you had similar problems, my camera flash and GPS no longer work.

I'm not certain where the problem it is, whether I need new drivers, or its the ROM... or whatever
[EVO 4G General] thirdeye18:
Hey, thought I would post this just in case anyone else runs into the same issue. Not sure exactly how it happened but I was unable to access my phones sdcard after rooting and using titanium backup to update my version of superuser through the market. Was able to fix it using instructions found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1176663 , guess I just did not word my search correctly when I was first trying to find a solution.

Anybody? Please??
[EVO 4G General] treo4life:
did u dl the newest version of the tool?
[EVO 4G General] Evilsj:
I ran into the same problem initially too. Once you've got the CMD tool and it asks you for your Beta key, take the Serial number that it gives you in the tool and rerun it through the website. It'll give you a different Beta key, then use that one.
[EVO 4G General] asapelectric:
Thanks, Ill try it.
[EVO 4G General] asapelectric:
yes, no luck.
[EVO 4G General] Evilsj:
Good luck. Did you use your ESN for the Serial Number originally? Because that's what I did and didn't realize that I was doing it wrong until I saw someone else point out the same thing that I mentioned.
[EVO 4G General] asapelectric:
No. I used the same one that it is showing in command line. I'm confused, it worked on my sensation weeks ago. (The one for it did.):eek:

Yee haw. Finally, I got it. It was the way the key appeared on my screen. I tried it on my Sensation, the Revol. site, and the key appeared different on a couple of letters. Particularily the O and I letters. But, I got it, thanks for the help.:D
[EVO 4G General] Evilsj:
Hmm, that's weird. Are you making sure you're typing in the key letter for letter? It's case sensitive. I found the easiest way is to copy the Key right off of the sight, then when it asks for it in the tool, just right click on the top of the window, go to edit, then paste.

Edit: Oh, alrighty then, looks like you got it lol. Still leaving this here though for anyone who wants to Copy/Paste into CMD but doesn't know how.
[EVO 4G General] waianaedawg:
Just wanted to say THANK YOU to those who worked so hard to bring us ROOT...appreciate it much!!

im having the same prob.im s-off,and no recovery.i know this because i get the image with the evo and red tri and !in the middle which indicated no recovery.i have both pc36img. and su directly on sd card but no clockwork mod or ra.and i do have rom manager installed.since this is a new method for us,maybe this will help with trouble shooting in the future for noobies
[EVO 4G General] JD1zzle:
Mine went through absolutely flawlessly, installed SU and AmonRa and I am happily on my way.

Stevie, make sure you are using the right digits of the serial number, I advise running Rev to get them, it's first screen will list device, hboot, and serial for you. And remember that spaces and punctuation count, I entered my beta key in manually.
[EVO 4G General] Abskurity:
Yes.this is an amazing tool.thanks to all the devs who made this happen.@ waiting for fastboot,you have to reboot into the bootloader,wait for it to scan,then click power once.if youre plugged in,itll switch to fastboot usb.i ran this a week ago when they first added support for the 2.16 hboot.it works,i kid you not.im on my rooted s-off evo 4G now.:)

[EVO 4G General] anthonyandrews:
I have not seen this in the thread, if it is I apologize for repetition.

For those that did NOT figure it out, the beta key number * IS * case-sensitive. (And for those that don't know what that means, it means you have to use uppercase and lowercase letters exactly as seen in your beta key, i.e.: for beta key

Aj

33bbB A not a, j not J, etc....)
[EVO 4G General] anthonyandrews:
I would try to run the RUU of the same version currently installed, then run revolutionary.io.

After that, install ROM MANAGER, so that you can install AMON RA from there.

[EVO 4G General] Kal*El:
This works perfect!

Guys for those who are not able to get it to work.. Calm down.. Breathe.. and read all instructions. It works. I did mine in about 10min. Part of that is bc I knew what I was doing.

I never updated to anything else. I received an Evo with the first 2.3.3 update and just stayed there waiting. And waiting does pay off.

My only question is this: those of you who are rooted like myself, did you update to the newest update on sprint now? Will this root method work on the newest update.

Sprint released the very first 2.3.3 and thats where I've been since then.. But there were two more that released. Did anyone update after that? Let me know bc if it works Im going to update just so I have the bugs from Gingerbread worked out and then root again.

Let me know

Thanks Dev's for everything. Who do I need to donate too? Im also waiting for Android to come to the HP Touch Pad..

Or does the newest OTA finally come with an unlocked bootloader like HTC promised so long ago?
[EVO 4G General] NORCALkID:
The latest OTA does not come s-off but a few weeks ago the good people at revolutionary.io achieved root for the evo 4g running 2.3.3 go to their website and DL their tools and read the instructions : ) and also any one who can afford a few bucks should donate to the devs who make it possible for us to do all kinds of crazy shizzz to our phones!

Hi..

It's my first post :)

I've got 2 Questions

1. Does the root method in the first page works with my Evo with these info?

Baseband Version 2.15.00.05.02

Kernel Version 2.6.35.10

Build Number 4.24.651.1

Software Number 4.24.651.1

PRI Version 2.15_003

PRL Version 60681

2. Also, does those ROM Manager apps stuffs from the store really makes things easier? Can you guys comments on those root apps from the market?

Thanks!!
[EVO 4G General] cranbiz:
Yes, this is a supported version, this version is the update pushed a couple of months ago. You should find that your Hboot is 2.16.0001

I have ROM Manager but usually don't use it.
[EVO 4G General] GunRunner:
After much research (to avoid bricking my phone), I have successfully rooted my Evo G'bread....

As for the OTA (version 4.53.651.1) update, I tried it after rooting my phone...no go...it wouldn't take the update...
[EVO 4G General] tehfe089:
I searched through the comments to see if I had any similar errors to other people ctrl+f’ing most of my problems away and also read through several pages but i only have so much time. now I get to the step after entering my beta key and I get

“rawadb_open: remote closed the connection looking for taget “sync:”

Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again.”

then after rebooting the phone, then the phone and the computer id get...

“Beta key accepted – thank you for participating!

Zerging Root… this might take a minute or so..”

then ……. nothing… forever!

Id appreciate any help if anyone can! Im really hoping to switch this phone over to metro if theres any way
[EVO 4G General] PhreakAccident:
I did an update check, and it tells me "There are no updates available for your phone." I'm at 4.24.651.1 on Sprint and did the Revolutionary, SU and Recovery RA.
