If I use the Unrevoked method, can I still access evorecovery using this method?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jus10o:
Could you not move the apk to system/app while in recovery?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bhagiratha:
Thank you for having my back, but I ended up using the Unrevoked method. This is my first Android device, and even though I am a tech, I haven't had much exposure with this OS.

With a little training and lots of reading and help from the xda community, I should be able master this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Just_s:
Thanks, this makes perfect sense, but something went wrong and my device is not recognized by adb. Now my EVO is stuck on the red exclamation screen. What do I do now?:confused:

Battery out and reboot

Or

Cable connected to computer and do "adb reboot"
[EVO 4G Android Development] Just_s:
Thanks, I felt like an idiot asking that as the battery pull was a fairly obvious option, but first time that has happened to me and better safe than bricked.:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] watzone69:
I rooted with Toast's method and flashed Flipz ROM (Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted.zip) and I am using 4G with no problem.

I even unchecked "Mobile network" and "Enable always-on mobile" to make sure and I am still able to get internet connection as well as play HQ Youtube vids.

4G coverage is pretty good here in Austin. Could that be the factor?
[EVO 4G Android Development] clubtech:
Can you describe how exactly you did the whole process?

It seems like some of us have a broken 4G while others don't.

Fastboot unlock

Just a question: Has anyone tried rooting the same way as the Nexus one, Unlocking the bootloader in fastboot with oem unlock?

I'm just thinking that while it is probably a permanent (unless this method could help find how to turn S-on) It might bring the ability to unlock /system while using it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] watzone69:
I did nothing special. I just followed the instructions on the first post and then flashed "Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted.zip" from Flipz site.

I turn on 4G using the toggle widget (or going to Wireless & networks in settings), wait for it to connect and I get the 4G icon in the task bar.

BTW, I am NOT tethering, just using the phones internet browser. It's functioning with 3G both turned off or with it on.

Ok guys im very new to android i am loving the community. I was a windows mobile user for quite some time and did alot of flashing and tweaking then went to web os where everything was basically automatic. Do yall know of a guide to help me understand android and the root process. I am on a mac so it makes it harder because i dont know if there is a cmd prompt to use
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeavery2:
Ok Cool, I just wasn't sure, sometimes it is the simple things. I also wasn't sure if people just didn't want to have the S-OFF issue that we saw in the nexus. (warranty issue).

Thanks for the write up, I'm rooted and free from sprint garbage.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Xard:
Quick question, if we stopped after we installed successfully the .zip in the first six steps but didn't install the custom rom (affraid to break my 4G access), where does that leave us exactly??

Also, after reading the last 30 pages of this thread, whats the rollback procedure? If you reboot with the power and vol down held and select restore will that take you back to 100% stock?

Sorry for the newbness, first android phone. Competent at hacking on my BB with custom roms and hybrids, but Android is a whole different animal I'm finding. :) Just going to take some getting used to.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bflxjsl:
if 4g does not work on Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted but it does work on PC36IMG.zip why not just keep this copy? What is different from PC36IMG.zip

ok so after the PC36IMG.zip update thing, booted and now the sd card doesn't read and neither does USB input, so i cant adb and rename the file. Im stuck
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
just reboot, or disconnect and reconnect the usb cable. there is no reason usb shouldnt work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] AssassinsLament:
Usually, I have to issue the command "adb kill-server" to kill the adb program. Then usb usually works again after that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gernade23:
Apologize if this is a stupid question but If I can get into the recovery menu does that mean I still have root and I can flash the 2.2 rom If I wanted? I wanted to give it a whirl but I don't wanna end up with a brick. Just a little confused because I read that the OTA(which I installed) breaks root. Would I still be able to access the recovery menu If I wasn't rooted?
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
Nope that's the purpose of root. To be able to get a custom recovery and flash custom roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gernade23:
That part I understand but the reason I was asking was to get some confirmation on whether or not that breaks the root method. So does that mean that the OTA doesn't break your root method Toast? =)

I seem to be having trouble with using Gmaps and Navigation after rooting. They both worked fine yesterday after rooting, but today all forceclosures. the Sprint Navigation works fine however. Surprise, surprise.
[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
U need to flash a root build of the release key Rom. I linked to it on the first post of this thread . Some are saying it breaks 4g but others ate not having any issues at all. I think it needs more testing because the only difference between the build that roots the phone and the build that comes on the phone are the keys they ate signed with and the root recovery. I confirm this by comparing md5sum of the images in both ruus and going through and looking at the actual system files. I can't test 4g but I can say there is no reason it shouldn't work in the rooted release key build. I think more people need to test to confirm its not Sprint/Clear fault.
[EVO 4G Android Development] colorado_al:
I'll be in a 4G area on Tuesday. Will test and report back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Glod:
I prolly should have went on, but i really dont know how to explain my semi-brick situation

this state where the usb isnt reading has STUCK, no sd, no usb. though i am able to enter bootloader and run that update zip....

sigh

like when plugged into charger or computer the os doesn't recognize it, in fact it doesnt even show the charging icon even though the orange light is on

It seems that the bat file isn't so stable on win 7 or maybe its just my computer I can get rec.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Glod:
yeah, i was afraid someone would say that.... Didnt work, and i went a step further and tried another computer and still no go

the fact the phone doesn't even know its charging is pretty crazy, i cant adb, i have to put the sdard into an external reader to do anything with......bahhhhhhhh.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bcnice20:
Dude you should probably try and use the ruu toast linked to go back to stock then reroot from there if u choose

Dam nvm you can't adb so that's a no go
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
Thanks for the reply toast. If I flash this build, can I restore all a backup I make right now? Also, does this build update with OTA?

Did you somehow accidentally break the cable in some way if you can get your hands on a different cable then try that
[EVO 4G Android Development] Glod:
tried new cable(s), 5 different microusb cables, the port worked fine seconds before this, no trauma to the machine AND my computer recognizes something, only when the white bootloader is up and not in recovery mode nor in os

Not sure if this is your problem, but when I used pdanet for the first time last night, I noticed my internet connection was off when I chose to allow tether, when I unchecked it, bam, it came on and my computer still got the internet from the phone with the box unchecked.

[EVO 4G Android Development] toastcfh:
yeah not a lot of people root. i can tell this by trackable links on my downloads. my last release for the cdma heroc (which was a OC bfs .29 kernel, first of its kind and highly anticipated) only seen just over 1600 downloads. now that said take into account redownloads and such and im thinking around maybe 1200 worst case. thats a small fraction of the amount of people who actually own a htc heroc. were talking the heroc is one of, if not th best selling smart phone to date for sprint(highly successful device for sprint). that said... not everyone tethers and uses the root method to get on over on sprint. so prolly (im guessing) 2/3 of those users actually tether a lot. i mean im sure everyone does every now and then, but not everyone does it all the time. looking at the worst case there its even a smaller amount of mone sprint is losing. then u gotta figure in that even if root didnt get those people able to teather, those people still wouldnt give sprint money to do so. so all in all sprint isnt losing anything to giving us root. not compared to the big sprint picture at least. btw this is al my take on this issue. i could be wrong to the max. but i feel my numbers are accurate enough to prove a point. sprint locking down devices is just paranoia and nothing more. they are just scared and want to make sure they wont get swung. they could easily just let us void our warranty like they did for the nexus. why they dont do that is all just a guess.

No 4G for me

I followed all the steps in the OP. I had root. I was a happy camper till I realized that although the EVO would connect with 4G it would do no data transfer over 4G. I ran the RUU in OP and I am now back to stock. Just wanted to chime in that I am another who lost connectivity over 4G with root and ROM in OP. 3G worked fine with root and ROM in OP. After running RUU in OP stock 4G works fine.

If I'm not mistaking when you power on the phone while holding down the vol key yes it brings you to a white screen with the little android guys below. But there is an option where you can go into recovery. To me it looks like there is a recovery already on the phone. Can you use that to flash a custom rooted Rom and for those that think you can brick your phone you can only brick your phone if you flash a radio from a different phone from what I was told awhile back.

Success. 4G reestablished with radio update added to flipz rom. I live near the edge of 4G coverage in ATL, so I only get one bar of 4G

Unfortunately I haven't been able to keep on top of these threads and searching has yielded mixed results depending on the issue in question.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Saturn2K:
If you don't want to make any large changes to your phone, you can run Unrevoked and it will give you root while in the phone. Downsides: You can't make any permanent changes to /system and you can't flash new roms.

If you are ok making changes, use toast's method. You will be able to access a recovery mode that lets you flash roms, write to /system in NAND and more. If you flash the current rooted stock rom from Flipz, it breaks 4G. But if you flash the new radio on top of that, it gets fixed. On top of that, nothing is really broken, but some things aren't accessible yet (can't write to NAND from the phone, you need recovery mode and adb).
