My phone doesn't connect

My phone (HTC EVO Shift 4G) connects, but, when I get to the step where I have to put it into recovery mode, the cmd goes back to the normal thing, instead of the $, then I also cant do anything with /data/local/tmp because I get the error of it doesn't exist. Thank you, and have a nice day.

I'm trying this with a ZTE Z830 running 4.4.2, but after installing the drivers, when using the root kit, it appears offline being identified with numbers and letters, I tried several drivers from other pages, even the ones from the phone itself and I can't managed to make it appear online. Any suggestions? ._.

I tried PMing OP, but PMs don't seem to be working for me. At least, my sent box remains empty after attempting to send messages. Here is my question:

Nautilus can look at any storage media connected to my PC, but the Android device is no typical storage medium. I went through your instructions in Arch Linux and no file manager (including Nautilus) can access any of the contents of the phone unless I am actually in the Android system using MTP. I even resorted to trying it in Ubuntu and had no luck. From my experience with Android, my first thought is that this simply should not work, but your tutorial suggests otherwise.

I've been trying this on an LG G3 because a friend asked a favor which requires me to modify /system/etc/hosts without rooting his phone or installing any custom recovery. He needs to be able to install the stock OTA updates in the future. So I'm not actually using it to root, but the same method should apply to modify any system files, don't you think? I'm stuck with download mode instead of fastboot, but your instructions say either mode should work.

I am stumped. What am I missing? I'd greatly appreciate assistance of any kind.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Msalko:
I dont really whant to use ubuntu for this. I think it might be easier to copy files with root browser and if that fails you can get your entire rom with it and flash it back (modifyed) in with fast boot.:D

Do you guys think this is another of my dumb ideas or not?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lekofraggle:
You cannot do that because the files need to be written to protected folders. This can only be done in recovery because you do not have permission to write to those folders. If you fail during the write, you could brick the device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] leijonasisu:
I am about to try this on a Telstra T-Hub 2. If it works, I'll seriously buy you a beer. I've tried 4 other root methods and they don't work. Everything so far has been successful, just about to try the Linux part. I absolutely don't mind downloading Ubuntu if I can get this thing rooted.

EDIT: So yeah I am stuck on the Ubuntu part because I can't seem to get this device to go to Download Mode. Only one other person on the entire forum has said there is a download mode, but I am not sure if he was confused with 'Android System Recovery 3e' because it's not the same thing. Because I can't get the device in Download Mode, I can't mount the device to Ubuntu and then follow the last few steps...

If anyone has any ideas please advise. As it stands I've tried every button combination I can think of. So far it's:

Volume - & Power to boot to the dead Android screen.

Then Power & Volume + to boot into recovery. But there doesn't seem to be a way to root ICS 4.04 from just that.

I've tried every other combination of buttons to get to actual 'Download Mode' but I don't think this device even comes with one.

EDIT AGAIN:

I am now convinced after reading this thread again that it is impossible to get this method to work. The OP doesn't provide any sort of proof that this method works, or any pictures at all.

I also feel like it is impossible to get Nautilus to see the device's root directory '/' simply by just booting the phone into download or recovery mode. As it doesn't mount the device's partition on recovery mode, and on download mode Linux still cannot see the device. (I just tried with 2 of my Samsung phones).

This is a broken method that absolutely does not work.

A bunch of people all have the same issue and the OP instead replies weeks later saying that he has dropped support for this thread' and to PM him.

Guys don't bother wasting your time with this method. When it comes time to use Linux or something else, that can transfer the files to /system/xbin or /system/bin you can't do it because it's read-only. The '/' root partition isn't visible on Linux no matter what, and it's impossible to open up a folder browser with root privileges that can see that partition so you can move the files.

Try other methods, and forget this stupid thread.. I am using a device that seems to have no real root method, but I have listed a lot of methods that I have tried on in this thread. You can google some:

Do I have to get Virtual 3d downloaded on my laptop and ubuntu? I'm using windows 7 netbook mini laptop and the virtual3d is giving my laptop a hard time . Aren't there any files there spicifically for windows that that doesnt involve virtual3d or ubuntu?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lekofraggle:
You do not need virtual 3d if you run ubuntu from a bootdisk (usb should work). Drivers could be an issue, but if it runs, that should work. Trying this kind of stuff from Windows directly is almost impossible, and if you can get it to try to work, it is very dangerous because Windows does not write to Linux (android is a form of Linux) partitions natively.
