are you using the trinity kernel? try switching to a different kernel

I've tried faux's, Trinity and the CM kernels. The issue always is there.

I have the same issue nobody could answer me either but if you use whitehawkx gingerbread rom with standard kernel or Faux kernel it solved the problem for me.

Can you give me a super noob step-by-step tutorial about this one

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902323

I'm in Asia so i think that it will benefit me if i do this. But the problem is I have no clue on how. It's just my 2nd week of having an android so i don't know anything about them. But I really need the voice as well as the 3g and HSDPA function of the tab.

Can anyone help me with this one? I will gladly appreciate it and will hit your thank you button in the process. :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Go to the developement forum, find overcome rom, doesn't matter which one then you will find, at the bottom of the 1st post, a link to the overcome site that has the guide to flashing to gingerbread through ODIN. It also has links to all the files needed.

BEFORE FLASHING HOWEVER, GO HERE - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=888071 AND USE THE BOOTLOADER CHECK APK. It could be the difference between a brick and a successful flash...

One bit of advice, if you don't understand something, ask a question in the QA forum, NEVER in developement forum, You will be flamed and possibly reported. Make sure you read and follow steps EXACTLY or you may end up with a brick...

Cheers....

[HD2 General] kingarthur69:
Hi everyone.

I'm really not too good with this, but any help would be great.

I've an original htc hd2 that I want my Xoom to connect to the internet with.

The HD2 is running WM6.5, so i was gonna have a go at the android on the memorycard. But have found the usb on my phone don't work for data, it just charges it. I've looked about and seen the tread on this but seems like a sending back to HTC and expensive repair job to me. And as i don't remember installing any roms or have root that i know of i think i've had it.:)

Does anyone know if I can install/run android strait from a memory card?

Or is there a wm6.5 program i can install so the xoom can connect?

Or should I just get the phone repaired/ buy a cheep android phone?( any suggestions)

A big thank you to any one who gives me any of there time.

[EVO 4G General] playya:
Nicely done but may I suggest 1 thing to some people that I have noticed in going thru the root thread in development. I think you should also download a rooted version of the rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=830153 and flash this right away or in lieu of flashing the root files. I have seen some people have issues running certain things with the root zip file provided.

Also I think the first thing that should be done prior to rebooting is Nandroid(ing) your present rom for safe keeping.
[EVO 4G General] ceng7904:
Yeah that makes sense. I haven't had any problems whatsoever with my way after doing it three different times with three different evos, but, nevertheless, I appreciate your input and if you have seen this problem then thank you for bringing it to the attention of the viewers of this thread. :)
[EVO 4G General] Evilsj:
This is by far the easiest Root I've done to date (granted I've only rooted by Hero and my Evo), but still. Gotta love simplicity.
[EVO 4G General] rocket999:
Thank you for posting this! Now I have a few questions I am hoping someone could answer.

The first: Will this process wipe my phone?

And the second: Our home computer is a Mac. Since this isn't available for Mac computers at the moment, I have an older laptop running windows vista that I am trying it on. I tried to install the HTC drivers but it keeps popping up with a window asking if I want to repair it or remove it. What is this error? There isn't an option to just install it. What should I do to make it work?

Thank you for any help anyone can offer.
[EVO 4G General] playya:
The file is a simple exe file and should only install not sure whats that about and also it will not wipe out anything. But you do need to do a backup of your apps. My suggestion would be Titanium Backup or MyBackup
[EVO 4G General] playya:
HOnestly people this root is incredibly easy to sit here and double triple guess your self with this particular procedure is unnecessary. Just follow direction to the letter at the original development thread or here and it will be done if 3 minutes. No risk at all IMO.... If you are still worried I would be happy to help out just PM me
[EVO 4G General] Evilsj:
No, the rooting process does not get rid of any user information. It simply unlocks the bootloader for your phone. As for the drivers, what Windows OS are you using? I found it far easier to install the drivers on Windows 7 than XP.
[EVO 4G General] playya:
In reality after you get s-off on your bootloader you can flash another rom. You only flash the su zip if you want to have your present rom rooted.
[EVO 4G General] ceng7904:
This is true.
[EVO 4G General] rocket999:
Ok thanks. I just wanted to be sure. The computer is Windows Vista. Will the drivers still work on it?
[EVO 4G General] ceng7904:
Nope. No data loss will occur. The drivers sometimes are interfered with by other programs so what I suggest is disabling your antivirus and uninstall anything you have on your computer that has to do with htc. Just keep the drivers and get rid of stuff like htc sync and pdanet.
[EVO 4G General] rocket999:
Whoops! I got the HTC stuff to install and now it is in the process of rooting. I figured out right after I edited this post. Thank you for all the help!
[EVO 4G General] ceng7904:
Ok. Great! Hit the thanks button if it helped!
[EVO 4G General] aksharpatel417:
Hey nice post I just have one question how do you install the htc drivers
[EVO 4G General] ceng7904:
Just go to the link I provided and download. Then install
[EVO 4G General] aksharpatel417:
Do I need to have my phone plugged in or anything like that
[EVO 4G General] ceng7904:
This is a bit redundant. I really don't understand what you mean but if you just follow the directions completely and entirely then it will work perfectly. Just plug it in when the directions call for it.
[EVO 4G General] playya:
Stop over thinking it.... Its ok its really as simple as it sounds... Relax follow each step and you will be fine... Your questions sound like your worried and if you are the steps after you root will drive you crazy. Especially changing kernels, flashing radios or roms....

[EVO 4G General] pjnofrills:
So I rooted my phone right after this came out, but I recently broke my screen, so I got an insurance replacement earlier today. I flashed the old phone I'm sending back with the PC36IMG that brings it back to stock with no SU, but bootloader still shows S-OFF. Does anyone know a way to get it back to S-ON? Or should I not worry about it?
[EVO 4G General] playya:
yes do a google search for Captain Throwback who came up with a method. Also its in a unroot thread...

Edit: dont think Insurance cares about your S-off though especially since its a screen issue. I would not worry about it too much. My friends have sent back quite a few phone with S-off especially since they cant deny you because of root
[EVO 4G General] pjnofrills:
Thanks, had a hard time finding that, but I think I'll just send it back w/ S-OFF if they aren't going to give me any flack.
[EVO 4G General] theultimatev:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever Go to this and download unrevoked-forever-son. Flash it through recovery and you're good to go. I'm hoping the PC36IMG you flashed didn't remove recovery but otherwise just root again and use s-on zip before flashing PC36IMG. I just got my replacement evo and I still had a stock AOSP rom installed on the other (only the power button didn't work, but could turn on with volume buttons) and they didn't care. They're going to send it back to HTC anyway so they don't care lol
[EVO 4G General] playya:
FYI - unrevoked s-on does not work with new HBOOT and this method at the moment
[EVO 4G General] pjnofrills:
I'm pretty lazy, so they're getting a S-OFF phone with a stock ROM. I'm pretty sure they will totally flash over everything, the one I got had some new activation app that I've never seen before.

Anyways, rooted the new one in 5 minutes, thanks to everyone for the exploit and the help as always!

[EVO 4G General] DARK_BLU:
I just finished rooting using this method and yes, it was easy, but I have a question. I thought that rooting gave the ability to uninstall bloatware from the phone. Amazon MP3, Kindle, and Blockbuster, are greyed out in Settings/Applications and apparently can't be removed. Could be that I'm uninformed or missed something. Do I need to load a Custom Rom in order to get rid of the bloatware?
[EVO 4G General] DARK_BLU:
Nevermind. Found answer. Root uninstaller. Carry on.
[EVO 4G General] evokedone:

[EVO 4G General] gnarlynick:
This root method was super easy and fast. I've never rooted before and have been sketchy on the idea due to the chances of bricking your device. I finally decided to take the plunge since I have a Toshiba THRiVE Honeycomb tablet and would like to do WiFi tethering when I'm outside of a WiFi range. Although the OP's walkthrough was nice, I followed this video, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZBGAVi_tSY, which uses the same method and it walked me through every step aside from uninstalling HTC Sync before you do anything.
[EVO 4G General] playya:
Welcome! Bricking chances on the latest root methods have been lil to none. Must honestly say I have never heard of an issue. Plus like you said its really easy. If you can read directions then you are as good as rooted... But having a video to follow is still a nice touch.. Congrats and Welcome again
[EVO 4G General] spyd312:

Hey everyone, I'm kind of new to the whole rooting game. I had an HTC incredible that I rooted (and loved) with in unrevoked. Now I have an EVO 4g, and of course I waited and then updated to 2.3.3. I seem to get the concept on how to do it with revolutionary but I just don't want to mess anything up or of course brick my phone. Any help would be great
[EVO 4G General] evokedone:
Thanks so much !

I've been having trouble as of late in finding a "One-click" root

like unrevoked 3.2 but, I'm not sure if it will continue to work

Can I root my EVO?

Hi. Sorry for my noob question. I never rooted any phone. I read that you can't root the EVO withthe latest update. Also my baseband version is 2.15. I read that it has to be 2.16. I want to root but maybe I'm too late. Can I still use your method? Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
Yes, you can root using this method.
[EVO 4G General] playya:
sure you can root. Not sure where you read that but make sure you are reading up to date posts as well. Go through the steps without actually doing it just to get a feel for it. If you go to the download page you will see they show two HBoot versions 2.15 and 2.16
[EVO 4G General] paallday:
Also it might be good to add that it is much easier to enter the beta key with the serial that revolutionary will show you when it asks for he beta, I have seen a lot of people that had trouble doing this (includeing myself)
[EVO 4G General] blakklanta:
Quick question, is the serial # necessary to root the evo on 2.3.3 & 2.15??? Out of all the phones I have come across and worked on, no method ever required a serial number.
[EVO 4G General] playya:
Yes you do.....Unless you have found another way to do it, you must follow the OP's direction... Not sure if you have worked on any new HTC phones but if you go through the steps you will see how many phones from are listed that now need serial numbers to help root.
[EVO 4G General] SunfireCRX:

been through 22 pages looking for someone else who had the same problem, may have skipped a oage or two but i haven't seen this one.

revolutionary wont download the recovery, i am stuck at this point, I have done all the steps up till there, now when i plug in my phone via USB and run the revolutionary.exe it comes up saying, you have already got S-OFF what do you think you're doing.

do you want to connect to internet and download recovery? [y/n]

I type in Y and it says, connecting or downloading, but then i get an error message saying revolutionary has stopped working and needs to shut down

for whatever reason, revolutionary wont download the recovery and I can't do anything?

any help? is there a place to just go and download it myself?

thanks in advance.

My thing is this... I am coming from Big Red with a Dx1 to more affordable Yellow with my now EVO 4g.... Lol... With my Dx I had the freedom of rooting and unrooting at the touch of a button. I know by reading this its not that easy and nor do I expect it to always be, have to put in a little work to get what we want.. But here is the question.... How easy is it to unroot and turn s-on after this process of rooting?
[EVO 4G General] playya:
There is a unroot thread take a look at it and decide for yourself if you think its easy or hard. My opinion no different than anything else you have to do with the regards to the Evo. Read up on it and after a couple times it all seems easy
[EVO 4G General] youngcise31:
i have tried that and I am still not getting the right key is it any thing i can do other than use revolutionary
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
If you're running stock Gingerbread, then sorry - Revolutionary is your only option.

There are at least two places where keying mistakes can be made, which is why it's recommended to copy/paste:

- Inputting your serial number: when you run the Revolutionary tool, it will report your serial number in the command prompt window. Copying this directly from the window into the website is the best idea. That will ensure that the beta key generated for your device is accurate.

- Inputting the beta key: if you followed the above process, your beta key should definitely be accurate. Copying and pasting into the command prompt window is once again the best idea here, since some characters look alike when reading in Sans Serif fonts.

By copying and pasting both of those items, that should ensure the inputs are correct for the tool to work properly.
[EVO 4G General] qbanways:
Big props. I used this tutorial when I first rooted my EVO. Worked like a charm.
[EVO 4G General] heckyhec5881:
You could have gotten the recovery to flash through ROM Manager on the market and you can unroot by flashing over the hboot to re-attain s-on and then do the RUU to get back to stock and reroot later

Noob alert

First time poster here. I've read every post in here as well as every post in the 64 page thread started by evilecho. I've also read a bunch of other threads about noob rooting and recovery and flashing roms and stuff. But I still have some questions as those threads are old. I haven't rooted yet but I am learning so that I can...

I'm evo 2.3 and HBoot 2.16 so I'm gonna need this root method. But mainly I am concerned with losing RSA keys or somehow messing up my radios and what not. Is that a concern with this root method or is it just when flashing roms? I read that CWM's recovery can now backup keys and stuff but will this revolutionary method backup the RSA keys/radios and stuff automatically when it runs CWM? One thread somewhere recommended a separate backup of just the keys, is that a good idea? Also just for clarification, a CWM or Amon Ra backup is a "Nandroid" backup, right?
