At least we need a guy who has downloaded those files and reupload it!
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I'm asking around see if I can find it for you. I now I had it, just do not anymore :confused: .
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Was able to get the file from hnosaj , make sure to thank him. Will be Uploading shortly, and posting a link ;) .

EDIT : Here you go guys ;)

[EVO Shift 4G General] KcLKcL:
THANK YOU!!! Time to root my uncle's phone!
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
have fun.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
So did you get the mission accomplished ?
[EVO Shift 4G General] asolor78:
help

How did you manage to finally get around the error 132 signature error?? i keep trying to but keep getting that error
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Make sure you have a good RUU Download. Did you DL over WiFi , Hardline , or the Network ? Did you follow the Instructions to the Letter? What Android version are you trying to downgrade from?
[EVO Shift 4G General] KcLKcL:
Haven't meet my uncle yet.. lol
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Alright just keep us posted ;) .
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
So are the links working for everyone?

Main things you need are shift-rootkit.rar, adb, unlocked bootloader, htc sync
[EVO Shift 4G General] KcLKcL:
I've unlocked the bootloader of my uncle's phone..

I've got adb..

I've got the USB Driver for adb so I suppose I don't need HTC Sync

Last night I just downloaded shift-rootkit.rar (Yes the link works!)

Probably today I will meet my uncle.

Will report if it works

His phone is already rooted with S-ON..
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
If it says " S-On " your not fully Rooted. This will cause you issues down the line. Just make sure when your all done it says " S-Off " .
[EVO Shift 4G General] KcLKcL:
I know. That's why I was asking for shift-rootkit.rar. Pls read previous posts first.

By the way, I've successfully rooted his phone fully. Currently trying to flash Ultimate Kanged Edition. YAYNESS. Much thanks VICODAN! Will post pics later :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Easy there killer :p . Just trying to help you out. BTW if you look above VICODAN's post where he Re-uploaded the shift-rookit.rar. I had already Re-uploaded it for you, just in case he was going to be a bit, and to help out. Your welcome. Also glad you got it all sorted out :) .
[EVO Shift 4G General] KcLKcL:
Thanks then, I didn't see your post hehe. Sorry for being a bit mad :)

Once again, thanks and sorry!
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
All good :) .
[EVO Shift 4G General] KcLKcL:
Mission success.

Now he can enjoy YouTube with his unlocked phone!
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Glad your sorted. Good deal :D . Now time to become a Shifting Flashaholic :) .
[EVO Shift 4G General] KcLKcL:
Sadly it's not my phone.. lol

I use Galaxy S2

And I was really surprised that this phone can go up until 1.2GHz, it was really stable O.O
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I have Run my Daily Device at 1.92gHz for days on end. With the Governor set on Smartass, Or SmartassV2.The Scheduler on SIO, or noop. Believe me this Device surprises a lot of people. Most of my devices will easily hit 1.5gHz with no issues. But not all devices are equal. There are many variables.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Snowlock:
I'm having a small issue with an evo shift I am rooting... the HTC unlock doesn't want to work for some reason.

I am running an Evo Shift running Android 2.3.4, software version 2.77.651.3 on a factory reset.

I get as far as running HTC's unlock tool, and it gets to the point of trying to drop to the bootloader, and then it says Error 132, Signature error.

One person in this thread mentioned they had the same problem, resolved it, but never mentioned how.

Any info would be welcome, I've been trying several different methods to unlock and so far to no avail.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Nice work! Congrats!

@Snowlock, you're copying/pasting wrong. Read the thread.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Snowlock:
I did... I also seemed to figure out what I was doing wrong. I think it should be noted in the instructions, because it is obvious in the video but notso from the written instructions the RUU for the Evo 3D is not used...the dev site is merely used to get the Device unlock code. I had been hitting my head against the screen trying to figure out why the RUU wasn't working on the shift.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ivcesar:
i did everything correct up to were i had to copy misc.img an zip but i didnt know if i had the right one an when i did do the flash my rebooted an now its stuck on htc boot help me please =(
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
I take it your currently on Android version 2.3.4 . Trying to downgrade to 2.2 , and Root. So your your somewhere in between step 15-18 ? Did you pull the Battery as stated in the OP ? Or reboot ?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jaye1789:
Hey guys!, I just bought this phone from a friend and it's already running 2.3.4, I would like to root and I am completely new to this. I attempted to follow the tutorial but got lost rather quickly.

Would anyone mind either chatting with me or taking me through it step by step, along with answering any questions I have throughout the process.

Thanks!
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Always here to help when I can. Will be out all day tomorrow. But should be available later in the evening. I would suggest re-reading the Instructions. Also re-watching the Videos.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jaye1789:
I downloaded Android sdk and I installed the platform tools. I then downloaded the rootkit and put the rootkit in the folder where platform tools are. After that I went to HTC dev site to unlock the bootloader. I clicked HTC EVO 3D for Sprint but nothing is happening, no prompts or anything. That's where I'm at now.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ivcesar:
okay when you when into the site did you sign up? ones you do that go unlock bootloader click sprint evo 3d make sure usb debugging is on wait a few second a small box should prompt

it took about 10 mins for mine to prompt for some reason the site loads really slow for me
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jaye1789:
Maybe that might be the case, cause I made an account and clicked to unlock the evo 3d sprint bootloader. After I clicked nothing happened, I'll try again tonight and update the results.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jaye1789:
Every time I try to unlock the bootloader, i get a signature error 132 message. Is there something I'm missing
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Again,

Main issues with unlocking is copying and pasting. Make sure there are no spaces.

Unless HTC changed something..
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jaye1789:
I don't know what it is. The bootloader program runs for like a second and instantly says signature error 132. I get that error and then a message saying make sure you're updating to the correct version of your rom

I've heard people say that this means your phone is branded and the bootloader cannot be unlocked.
[EVO Shift 4G General] KcLKcL:
They didn't change anything. I just followed all your instruction, works like a charm. :)

...and it was only few weeks ago, so yeah it's still the same!
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Are you on 2.3.4?
[EVO Shift 4G General] KcLKcL:
I was on 2.3.4 too btw :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jaye1789:
Yea I'm on 2.3.4
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Sounds like a copy pasta issue dude. Watch the videos.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jaye1789:
I rewatched watched the first video and I got all the way up to the Unlock code.bin. Idk where this file is. Everytime I input the command to do the unlock bin, I get cannot load "Unlock.bin"

I can get that far but I have no idea what the copy paste issue could be cause the RUU still won't run. Was the Unlock.Bin file supposed to be given to me after the RUU successfully did it's thing?
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
You get the code from HTC in your email and save it to your adb dir.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jaye1789:
Hey I watched the videos a few more times and I finally rooted my phone. Thank you so much for the help!

Just a question, I seem to getting low signal reception a lot with the shift. Would that be a radio problem, or something else. Sometimes I get two bars max.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Did you Update PRL / Profile ? Did you Update your Radios after Rooting ?
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jaye1789:
No I didn't, where do I find the updated versions at. Is it as simple as flashing a rom and does it make a big difference
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
To update the PRL /Profile you go into Menu-Settings-System updates. Then you can Update PRL, then Profile. For the Radios go to THIS Thread ;) . Make sure to Read the OP Instructions a few times before Flashing the Radios.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Jaye1789:
Thank you!
[EVO Shift 4G General] Socrguru:
After downgrading to 2.2, would it be possible to flash a rooted stock 2.2 instead of doing all the Visionary stuff? Then install the S-OFF bootloader using that?

From what I understand, you can install a ROM using a custom recovery even if you're S-ON, it just won't install the kernel - which wouldn't matter in this case, because the kernel would be the same? I'm no expert, and I certainly could be mistaken (and the Shift isn't my normal phone), but could anybody else weight in on this? I figure it'd get rid of the annoying "keep trying Visionary until it works" thing.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Your welcome :) . Hope it helped.

---------- Post added at 07:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 AM ----------

IMO it's going to be better in the long run if you do the process all the way through to the end, till you achieve 'S-Off" Full Root. Flashing most Roms when your "S-On" is slightly more involved. Which in turn increases the chance for issues.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Socrguru:
Right, I was going to finish the steps, I was just wondering if I could flash a rooted 2.2 (if I can find one) instead of doing the Visionary stuff, then push the S-OFF hboot (which requires root to do).
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Don't bother. Do the visionary stuff.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
+1 to that
[EVO Shift 4G General] KcLKcL:
It's always fun to try IMO. As long as you sure that your rooted ROM is working :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] sypherstrife:
hmm i need a little help. i keep getting "unexpected end of archive" error when using winrar or 7zip. Can't extract pg06img.zip no matter i try including

- repair archive as both zip and rar

- redownloading file on 2 computers and also multiple links within this thread

anyone got a fix or suggestion?
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
you're not supposed to extract it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
As VICODAN said, you are not supposed to Extract it. I would suggest Re-Reading the OP, and watching the Videos again ;) . Just to make sure.
[EVO Shift 4G General] drewkj09:

Thanks guys keep up the great work learning alot from these forums

Thanks guys keep up the great work
[EVO Shift 4G General] .Elite_The_King.:
okay im the 2) Using adb type "adb reboot recovery" and IMMEDIATELY UNPLUG PHONE FROM USB when i do this it goes to a red triangle so imm clueless do i have a bad PG06IMG.zip or just wait then unplug it cause said to unplug it quick or it says deamons running.

Edit:when i try to open the PG061IMG with WinZip it says "Error:central directory not found"
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Try to run Froyo RUU 2.2. With phone connected via USB.
[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
It should be

adb reboot bootloader

'adb reboot recovery' in the guide is wrong. It's sending you to the stock recovery not bootloader

Not sure about the error with Winzip, could be a bad download.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Thanks crumpy. Will update the guide.. again. Lol

Sent from my brick
[EVO Shift 4G General] .Elite_The_King.:
Oh man i was close i was thinking that too but i put fastboot instead of bootloader darn i was so close but will try tomorrow thanks crump84 and VICODAN for responding back appreciated.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
No problem! Let me know if you have any issues! I'm also on irc a lot.. irc.freenode.net #htc_evo_shift.

If the guide works please click thanks on the first post.

Sent from my brick
[EVO Shift 4G General] .Elite_The_King.:
Yup it work it was "adb reboot bootloader" then when takes me there click it then it read it work but i had to use my sdcard because the one on the shift was not reading it thanks again man u should update that little part.

something like this

Code: adb reboot bootloader

The HTC Evo Shift 4G will reboot & usually boot into fastboot. Pressing the Power button will put the device into the bootloader.

The bootloader will scan for the update. Once it finds the update, select Yes.

Allow the bootloader to finish flashing the updated, and reboot the HTC Evo Shift 4G normally.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
guide updated.
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Updated the guide, added links to popular updated/current ROMs and CrashV2010's GAPPS thread.
[EVO Shift 4G General] sajmonides:
I do everything as described in the first post until I unplug my phone and start the terminal emulator on my phone and when I type "su" i get permission denied.

When in command line I type adb shell, i do get the # instead of $ sign. idk what to do...
[EVO Shift 4G General] crump84:
Rather than using terminal emulator, try using the same command in adb shell. As long as you have # in shell it should push the misc.img
[EVO Shift 4G General] shiftmyevo4g:
So I'm all set to downgrade. What is the RUU link supposed to download? I keep downloading a VGrabber. Is that what is supposed to be loading? Am I missing a step somewhere with the ruu thing?
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
RUU 1.07 or the PG06IMG.zip that is in the original post. the PG06IMG.zip method is faster but harder to get working. Sometimes bootloader wont find the file or theres a problem with the SD card. RUU will work it just takes a long time.
[EVO Shift 4G General] shiftmyevo4g:
Thank you for the reply, but I'm saying that everytime I try and download the link on the first post which is for the ruu it has me downloading a downloader. Is that the actual file that I'm needing to get? Is that ruu? What is this: MD5SUM: a4b880954d2ac29d5bdf0dade9dede3c behind the link? Is that something that is needed to acquire ruu?
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Just click on the "direct download" button for mutiupload. I never use any of those types of download sites for any of my uploads, but when I have to use it for downloading a file I prefer mutiupload or megaupload if it's available.
[EVO Shift 4G General] shiftmyevo4g:
Ah Wurd. Got it figured out. Next question when running the ruu is do I have phone on charge only or data?

Edit: I'm thinking that the SD card has to be in the data phase. Trying...
[EVO Shift 4G General] shiftmyevo4g:
Tried to use HBoot, no dice, so I tried to run RUU but it's saying can't find USB connection. Am I missing a driver?
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Did you install HTC Sync?
[EVO Shift 4G General] zdavidzz:
thanks so much for this tutorial. I successfully rooted my shift last night! It's the first time I've ever rooted a phone.

a couple months ago i got my shift stuck in a bootloop because i messed up the downgrade part.

If your a n00b like me and are worried about messing up your phone, read the wiki, do searches/ask questions for anything you don't understand, read this whole thread, reread the tutorial, then follow the tutorial, take your time and pay attention to what you're doing.

this might be redundant advice, but i messed up my previous phone because i didn't fully understand what i was doing.

again thanks to everyone involved and sharing how to do this!
[EVO Shift 4G General] KcLKcL:
I wonder if he extracted it just to make sure if the file is not corrupt..
[EVO Shift 4G General] mcoghlan:
Stuck on PG06IMG.zip part

Okay, I've banged my head against the wall for a bit now. Yes, I've watched the video many, many times. I've even reformatted the sdcard.

Everything has been fine up to this step

I've copied the files both through windows explorer and adp push. I've run the dd command, as superuser, both through the adb shell, and a terminal emulator on the phone. I remove the battery instantly, restart, and in all cases I get:

SD Checking ...

Loading...[PG06DIAG.zip]

No image!

Loading ...[PG06DIAG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

Loading...[PG06IMG.zip]

No image!

Loading ...[PG06IMG.nbh]

No image or wrong image!

EDIT: ::sigh:: FAT32 not FAT16. moving on now...
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Make sure that the file is named correctly. It's supposed to be named PG06IMG.zip . Because what you posted says that the file is named incorrectly.

why do i get the checksum 3008853f805b107fda434ce623f43318 in step 7?

I cannot get s-off untill i get the right checksum
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
You are running

md5sum /sdcard/hboot_orig.bin

md5sum /sdcard/hboot_eng.nb0

RIGHT?
[EVO Shift 4G General] j00manji:
Good God, why are you guys still going without a one click root? Got enough steps in the OP there? I dont want to sit here for an hour and watch this guy fumble his camera over 4 videos. Christ O mighty
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Well then get to work. Create a " One Click Root " Method for us :rolleyes: . If you can do it better, then by all means have at it. BTW we're actually grateful that the OP took the time to put this Guide together ;) . It has helped quite a few people.
[EVO Shift 4G General] BigSplit:
If it is that big of a deal, why are you not creating it yourself? Is it because you do not have the ability to? Because you lack the skills required to do so? Exactly, you are here to sponge off everyone else s hard work just like the majority of people here, so stfu already and go back into your hole. Quit your whining and crying unless you are ready to step up to the plate and do something constructive.

[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
My motto is if it could be done better it would have. Users like you SUCK. Your kinda like the bum at the corner mad that i only GAVE him a dollar when he needed 2 for beer. Its also users like YOU that run off everyone who would ever offer help. I know now ill ignore all posts made by your ungrateful ass. So here is a simple solution sell your phone and get a flip phone because this attitude will get you ran out of this community faster than anything else.

[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Well....some interesting posts right before this lol

But anyway, does anyone, maybe even VICODAN himself, know if this method works on the latest OTA? (2.77.651.8)

I had the bad luck of getting updated to it (someone holding my phone downloaded the OTA)

Thanks in advance! :)
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
No, AFAIK it doesn't work, send me your phone and i'll get otaking71 and we'll mess with it.. LOL
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Dang it, wish I could...

I guess the next best thing would be to just htcdev unlock bootloader and go s-on

Also, what are the drawbacks to being s-on besides flashing being unnecessarily more complicated? Sorry, I'm kind of a noob thats learning :D
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
Have you tried running RUU? 2.2 or 2.33?
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
No, I haven't actually but that's a good idea, I'll try it later and see if it works, thanks
[EVO Shift 4G General] aholic_2:
Thanks I did it

[EVO Shift 4G General] masterhanger:
iwhat is the highest android version i should take my shift to at this point. I have 2.3. thx
[EVO Shift 4G General] CNexus:
Do you mean that you were on 2.1 when you rooted? If you do, then all you need to do is flash the rooted version of the latest 2.3.4 update with the OTA (strapped365 posted that somewhere) to get the latest radios and hboot and then flash your rom of choice from there.

---------- Post added at 11:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

You can safely go to 2.3.4, but NOT 2.3.4 with the latest OTA, because that update is unrootable ATM

If you're trying to go back to stock, just search around for a link to the 2.3.4 RUU. It starts with RUU_SPRINT_SPEEDY or something like that
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
If your already Rooted there are a many choices available. You can Flash 2.2 , 2.3.3 , 3.0 , 3.5 . Even some nice 4.0 ICS Non-Sense Roms around. But you must first be Full Root " S-Off " . If you are on 2.3.3 Un-Rooted DO NOT UPGRADE . Follow the steps in the OP to gain Full Root " S-Off ". Then Flash till you find what you like.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jeffires00:
trouble with visionary

Thanks to the OP, as well as everyone else who has provided information here. I have read the guide, the content of the thread, and watched the videos.

I have successfully downgraded to 2.2, and I seem to be having a problem with visionary. I have USB debugging ON, and Unknown Sources checked. I have the visionary file I downloaded copied into the folder where adb is located. When running adb install -r com.modaco.visionaryplus.r14.apk, I get the error INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES.

I read around page 25 of this thread that someone had a similar problem, but they were able to resolve it. I am not able to resolve it with my phone. I have re-read all of the instructions. What am I missing?

I would appreciate any insight about this error. Thanks!
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Have you tried installing the APK the normal way. You can place Visionary on your SD Card, by mounting the Device as Disk Drive. Then install a File reader from the Play Store so you can Navigate to it.
[EVO Shift 4G General] jeffires00:
Thanks for your response.

Strange - I tried installing Visionary as you describe through the file manager, and it will not install. I re-downloaded it, and I still cannot install it.

Everything else leading up to this worked flawlessly...
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
You can try pushing it with adb. Slightly different than installing the normal way. Just make sure the file is in platform-tools.

adb remount

adb push "app name" system/app

adb reboot

[EVO Shift 4G General] jeffires00:
The visionary file is in platform-tools. It will not let me remount (attachment). I think there is something wrong with the state the phone is in now because this should have worked.

I am going to reboot and go over the steps again to make sure I did everything correctly. I know I am at 2.2 software version, so I don't understand why this step is causing problems :confused:

Thanks again for your insight.
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
Unplug the device, and reboot it. Also reboot the PC / Laptop. Reconnect and try with adb again.
