[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
I got my phone to do the adb reboot recovery and then when i try to run recovery-windows.bat, it doesnt work
[EVO 4G Android Development] jiqqaman:
are you running as admin or are you double clicking it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
im not running as admin cause i thought that was only for windows vista users. I did double click it and it popped up a command window for a split sec and then dissapeared
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
awesome tutorial too. im already past that point but im sure it will help some.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jiqqaman:
try running as admin and see if it works?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
Sorry but can you give me a little help as to getting to admin? right now its at c:\documents and settings\jesse>
[EVO 4G Android Development] timothydonohue:
jiminy christmas....

if you can't work your computer, why are you trying to root your phone?

read. read everything, before you even start this stuff. it'll keep you from coming in and messing up your phone, and keep you from asking questions to which you should know the answer.

i don't mean to sound like an ass, but if you don't even know how to run something as an admin on your computer, you really have NO business with administrator read/write privileges on your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
ok i figured it out but unfortunatly i dont know my freaking admin password

Thanks for trying to help anyway
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
All this stuff was so so much easier on my samsung moment. I didnt need to use adb or command prompts or any of that crap.
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3taman:
I was rooted within minutes.

But I had same problem above as well. I tried running as admin, double clicking, typing the command. Nothing will work. My EVO just stays on the red triangle.

And I'm not a noob, I've rooted Android, Palm, and WM devices and have flashed many ROMS, radios, and what not.

Just for the life of me can't figure out why I'm not getting the recovery screen on my EVO???
[EVO 4G Android Development] 06ms6:
You right click the .bat file and click run as administrator...you have a password on that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] timothydonohue:
just go get koush's recovery, pc free. eliminates the WHOLE problem

same with you jwwolfe. don't even bother trying to figure it out anymore. get the recovery that doesn't require you to use the bat

[EVO 4G Android Development] maejrep:
First of all, Toast never claimed to be working with the grack group of people for rooting the EVO.

Secondly, the grack group has only gotten as far as gaining root access at the time of running the exploit, and still can not write to the system partition due to NAND write protection. We are able to get root from recovery as well, which does allow us to write to the system partition on the NAND.

Furthermore, I've already posted screenshots of froyo running on the EVO, which is obviously not possible unless you're able to flash a custom system image, which is not possible unless it's rooted (or the update image is signed by HTC) :) I've leave it as an exercise for the reader to decide if HTC has already signed a Froyo update.zip ;)

Finally, you can call BS all you want, but BS won't answer -- BS is screening your calls, cause BS doesn't want to hear you whining :) It's not a rumor, I am running Froyo on my EVO as I'm writing this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shidell:

Wrong kind of attitude, buddy. We're here to help everyone out, not show up and basically tell people to screw off.

Couldn't he just flash the original RUU from the first update? Or does HTC not supply RUUs for Android? I've just got an ADP1, and I've never had anything stock on it since I've got it. XD

[EVO 4G Android Development] justinisyoung:
just wondering... then if HTC starts shipping out phones with .651.6(i think that's the number?), then we will no longer be able to root the evo with this method unless we RUU back to .651.1?
[EVO 4G Android Development] papaskispartan:
4G dissabled

I skimmed through this and didn't see it. Does this rooting disable 4g?
[EVO 4G Android Development] angeltk:
No, although subsequent other roms that you may flash have the possibility of breaking 4G (not permanently). This current root method gives you the most options out of the two that exist.

I'm rebooting in recovery to flash a custom rom but i got stock on a black screen with a red triangle and a exclamation mark, what am i doing wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3taman:
You don't have recovery installed yet if you have that image. I could never get past that.

I had to get to recovery via this method which is all on the device!

[EVO 4G Android Development] mikevillarroel:
Thanks, i did it , so now i can reboot in recovery from the adb and flash a new rom? this step is a one time installation only?

Is there any way i can bootin recovery without this, i mean, i did it the first time when i root, why i can't now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
Do I have root?

I followed this procedure and thought it was successful until I started installing apps that require root and they all failed. Wireless Tether says "Unable to start tethering", ROM Manager crashes when I click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and "Clear Market History" says "Your Android OS may not be rooted" when I click "Erase History & Cache" (though it does clear history and cache, funnily).

I can however go into a Terminal window and type "su" and I get the # prompt without any errors (not sure if that's enough to determine I have root). I was also able to reboot into the custom restore after flashing PC36IMG.zip. Well, at least I think it's custom. It's the one with the menu that allows you to partition your SD card, wipe, flash a ROM, etc.

What do you guys think?
[EVO 4G Android Development] angeltk:
you need to run the (I'm going to assume you're running windows) recovery-windows.bat included in the EVO-recovery.zip - Toast's recovery is not sticky, you need to run that every time you want to flash a new rom and/or radio.

Koush's recovery is a sticky recovery, you only need to do it once and you will then be able to load the custom recovery without having to tether to the computer like Toast's method.
[EVO 4G Android Development] th3taman:
I had to use Koush's manual recovery option to finally be able to do a backup and flash a new ROM. Unfortunately, I could never get toast's recovery to work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikevillarroel:
OK thanks, i'll keep that in mind next time i flash a custom rom, now i have a very nice one and so far everything works(dont know about 4g)
[EVO 4G Android Development] angeltk:
The only instructions that were missing from his original post was the lack of ADB drivers for the phone itself. I rectified the problem by installing HTC Sync (Avaliable on the SD card that came with the evo), but I know that installing the android sdk also will install the adb drivers.

[EVO 4G Android Development] swaze:
Yep, also for me I had to restart my computer before it recognized my phone as a adb device. So incase anyone is having the issue where you downloaded HTC sync, and you are getting an error saying device not recognized, RESTART your computer and you should be good to go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
Wow, i feel like such a noob! Its been over a year since i left my G1 rooting days and im a bit lost. Anohow, i did run PC36IMG.zip, then i got ClockWorkMod so i could flash a new ROM but no go. (I went from .6 to .1 btw) Question, do i need to adb, after running PC36IMG.zip having ClockWorkMod? Or would PC36IMG.zip + ClockWorkMod be enough? Basically all i have done is run PC36IMG.zip, thinking Koush mod would eliminate de need to adb, help anyone! Its feels GREAT to be back in Android world and ditching ATT and its iphone! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] swaze:
I believe you need to do the custom recovery process prior to being able to flash that MOD. You need the evo-recovery file from post #1, and also adb drivers on your cpu in order to complete this process.
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
Re: {tutorial} how to root \0/

Thanks will do once I get home, already got the drivers, I just ran out of time last night to give that a shot.

No, in fact Koush's method augment's toast's effort and makes things simpler in the long run =)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
I was able to install ClockworkMod Recovery through Koush's method. Does that mean I have root? Cause I keep getting apps that require root not working. This is frustrating.
[EVO 4G Android Development] angeltk:
If you're running the PC36IMG.zip rom, then you'll need to flash to another rom afaik for apps that require root to actually work. I wasn't able to wifi-tether until I installed one of flipz's roms. (although I had 4G issues until I flashed OMJ's rom)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
Oh, that makes sense! Actually, I understand what you mean, but that was never the case with either my G1 or myTouch 3G before. Once you had root, you had root, period. You could use any app that required root. I know we're in the early stages of EVO rooting, so this may be the case in the near future for the EVO as well.

Now, you said "if you're running the PC361IMG.zip". Is there another way to do this? Is there another way to get a "real" root? The kind I mentioned above.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wisiwyg:
Hi all,

First time Poster, short time Lurker...

Picked up my Evo on Monday. First thing it did on power-up was OTA update. I found this site later that evening, kicking myself for allowing the update.

So, for anyone who is worried about rooting after the latest OTA update, I rooted using Toast's method, flashed OMJ's ROM, and updated radio to the latest & greatest. Everything works - ActiveSync, GPS, Camera, 3G, Phone. I don't have 4G, so can't make a call on that. It's not available in my area...

The main reason I wanted to root was for tether. I'm able to wireless tether using OMJ's ROM wireless tether app already in there. However, I'd more frequently use USB tether. Is there something I need to install to enable USB tether? A little helpful point in the right direction would be appreciated. You can't imagine how many threads there are with tether and USB in them when you search!
[EVO 4G Android Development] angeltk:
Flashing one of flipz's stock rooted roms, or rather any other rooted rom out there, will get you full root permissions (other than nand acccess), comedy option is to run unrevoked on top of the PC361IMG.zip rom =P
[EVO 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
Well, I just installed UnrEVOked and was able to start Wireless Tether. I don't want to install any custom ROM, as I may return my EVO within a couple of weeks if I'm not fully satisfied with it (which is looking that way; I really need a physical keyboard). Thanks for your help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] angeltk:
swype is your friend =D

also at any point, after flashing a custom rom, you can simply restore your NAND backup and reflash the stock RUU to return to stock, so there really isn't a reason to not at least *TRY* the other roms. Flipz's roms are stock minus the entire rooted part and some root helping apps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Razor1973:
Not when you type messages in more than one language and need to constantly switch from one to the other, sometimes within the same message. (Yes, I do that. LOL) What's worse... one of those languages is Spanish and Spanish prediction includes accented letters, which only work correctly in e-mails, but when you use them in SMS's, the person at the other end gets garbage. (Thank you, Sprint.) So when using a physical keyboard, I remove all prediction and use accents when writing an e-mail, but not when writing SMS's.

Hmmm...
[EVO 4G Android Development] twe90kid:
i can't for the life of me get the computer to recognize the phone. i got the phone to flash the rooted file. But flashing a custom rom is much harder than flashing the root. I know how to get the phone into recovery mode, but when i connect the phone to the computer, I can't run the adb to get the phone pass the Exclamation Screen in recovery mode. HELP!
[EVO 4G Android Development] driguez:
Well well well... I dont know how i did it, but i did it! Lets see, i followed Koush manual installation, did a nandroid back up, then did an update to the Sprint less bloatware, but the phone went into a boot loop. Pulled the batt, did a factory reset, booted up, did a app/data restore and lo and behold superuser was there (It wasnt there before) Root is working, i was able to flash a ROM, and it says its .6.
[EVO 4G Android Development] saintsfan:
I have had the same problem myself. I cannot get the adb to run. i have rinstalled the drivers, installed sdk, and just about drove myself crazy doing it. i am going to jsut install unrevoked and leave it at that untill someone makes a good video that show or explan all the obsticales that may come about. btw i was using windows 7 32bit. sometimes my phone is not even pick up by the computer. i thought it was the cable so i brought it to the sprint store to exchange it...that was a hour i will never get back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lion2:
Ok since this root method wont allow me to "Write to system or recovery while in android." What exactly are the downsides to this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] swaze:
When you D/L HTC Sync did you restart your cpu? I believe in order for those settings to take place you just restart your cpu and it should find your device.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ceger:
I get to the point where it checks the PC36IMG.zip file, but it never lists the contents and asks me to flash, it just dumps to the normal choices. I have version .1 of the OS (original, non OTA updated) with older radio, so I do not understand what the issue is.

[EVO 4G Android Development] swaze:
Sounds like you may have a corrupt file. Did you download it to the root of your SD card. If so maybe try to download it again. I think some were having issues with their SD cards reading the file.

For some reason I can't get the rooted image to flash. I downgraded back to the stock .1 ROM via the RUU, I have the PC36IMG.zip on the root of my SD card. Power down, boot into the bootloader, it finds PC36IMG.zip and moves to the next screen that says "checking PC36IMG.zip" and then it kicks me right back to the bootloader. Doesn't ever give me the option to flash.

This isn't my first time rooting a phone, and I've downloaded the image from multiple computers now including my phone to see if it was the PC I was using and it's not. Not sure what's wrong. The phone is bone stock, no OTA update.
