Hi Chumba8,

Quick question please, how did you partition your Sd card?

Will appreciate your response.

(Note: My Evo is rooted already)

Hey folks, there's nowhere on the web where someone lays down ALL the applications that utilize the syncing or quick contact api! Lets list them all, unless I'm retarted and there's only 4 :(. Facebook, twitter, lastfm, googlevoice. Obviously I'm excluding the default apps like gmail and maps.

So, are there any other apps that sync with google using the stardard api?

Download this apk and install it to get root on your EVO.

It will only root your current ROM. (There's no way to access recovery). Also, any changes to /system will be lost on reboot due to NAND protection. If you need to modify /system or install a new ROM, try toastcfh's method. If you just need to get a root shell in adb or run an app like Auto Memory Manager, Unrevoked should be just fine.

Unlike toastcfh's patch, it will not wipe your phone. If you have data you'd like to backup before applying the more complete root, run Unrevoked, use

adb shell

,

su

, and

busybox cp

to copy the files you're saving to /sdcard. Then, you can use toastcfh's method without worrying about data loss.

As always, thanks to the guys who put this APK together. Happy rooting.

Original (now obsolete) post:

The guys over at unrevoked.com are still sitting on their exploit until they can vet it against the OTA update. However, if you are feeling restless, haven't taken the OTA, and want root without wiping, try this:

Download and decompress http://unrevoked.com/hero-root.zip

adb push ~/Downloads/hero-root/unrevoked /sdcard/unrevoked
adb shell
cd /sdcard
sh unrevoked

This will install Superuser Permissions on your EVO.

For the record, I have not been prompted for the OTA update. Unrevoked is still working on the OTA-compatible patch. If you take the OTA, I suspect this method will break.

I have no affiliation with the unrevoked people. I just followed cteneyck's lead from the discussion thread last night and thought I'd share my findings.

Can you install recovery image?
[EVO 4G Android Development] theillustratedlife:
How would I do that?

I think this is just a userland root. I can't even

adb pull

in private directories. I have to use

busybox cp

to get them over to my sdcard first.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oxeneers:
I haven't updated, and haven't rooted with toast's method becuase flashing the data partition to root is ridiculous. Trying this now and will report back findings.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shep211:
Theres a recovery image included in the zip. Does it work for hero only?
[EVO 4G Android Development] phinnaeus:
Do we know the files are the same for the evo? Seems like the recovery at the very least would be different, and this does say HERO-root.zip...

JUST SAYIN'
[EVO 4G Android Development] oxeneers:
This works for EVO. I took the plunge for you guys. haha.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theillustratedlife:
I'm not comfortable flashing a Hero boot.img to my EVO. The official release should be out in a few days, when we'll know more about this root method, and if we can get real recovery.

The shell script itself does nothing to unlock the SPL, so just running

fastboot boot recovery.img

returns "remote: not allowed."

Trying to fastboot the recovery image forced me to reboot my phone. I had to run unrevoked again to get root back. As was reported earlier this week, it looks like this method has problems sticking between startups.

SO what will happen if i try this method and have the OTA??? Will it brick?

I doubt it would brick - it's just a shell script. It will probably fail to root your phone, but without negative side-effects.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Aridon:
No one has access to a writable /system in android on the evo.

This option is easier but has no recovery.

If you can do better by all means step up and produce. Otherwise stfu about things sucking 1 day after release root wise. Show some class and try not to run off any more developers.

These things take time. Its a work in progress.
[EVO 4G Android Development] swaze:
If you want access to rooted apps, you have to use the other root process. After that you have to flash the custom recovery and then flash Flipz stock rooted rom, then you will be able to access your apps that require root. Also you will be able to remove unwanted sprint apps, only catch is you have to remove them from recovery since there is not a known way to do it from android yet, but I wouldn't expect it to be that way for long.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Saturn2K:
So, what happens if you installed this on your evo? You're flashing something, so will this create a permanent root? Or is it just a clumsier way or doing what unrevoked.apk does?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jus10o:
I believe it wont be permanent root.

In the ramdisk of the boot.img there is a setting that when changed gives you permanent root. This is what we had to do for the hero.

So unless you flash boot.img with the changed setting or a rom with the boot.img. Then i dont believe you will have permanent root.

Im also assuming the same applies to the evo has it does the hero. Both phones use this method to root 2.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] theillustratedlife:
For the record, they've released an APK version that runs at startup to keep your phone rooted. You don't need this method anymore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sflotr:
This +1:)

I rooted with unrEVOked and then ran the OTA, rebooted twice to make sure my device retains root and it does. All my apps that require root are running just fine. Thanks so much to the OP for the hard work. I appreciate it!:)

[EVO 4G Android Development] wherestheanykey:
Have you noticed any ill effects or differences from using the non stock verses the factory image or ROM or whatever it is you have to load after rooting? I have seen references to breaking 4G or other little glitches after using the recovery image or backup. Also can you provide the link for the Toast Method of root?

I have unlocked many WM devices and flashed many ROMs but have never attempted rooting an Android device and don't fully understand what rooting is (I assume it just means gaining read write access to the root directory of the OS, like the "\" directory in WM that contains the "windows" folder), why there are so many more steps to accomplish it and what each one does exactly, and why they are necessary. Apparently rooting in Android wipes the device where unlocking in WM doesn't. So then you have to push a recovery image, but I am not sure what that is, like a stripped down version of a ROM. And then install a backup after that or something, and I really don't understand what that is unless it is the equivalent of flashing a custom ROM. So if anyone wants to give me a quick synopsis of the root process that would be nice. Because I know I am going to have to figure it out, I became addicted to learning about and hacking my WM phones, and now I get to start all over again with Android.

Thanks for any info offered up!

I tried doing Toast's method and got stuck on Step 2 of Part 2.

I then decided **** it and installed unrevoked.

Wireless tethering works.

I can't get the RUU from after the OTA update to work. If I just leave my phone at the state it's in, will there be any consequences? Since I didn't complete the root method I don't know if I'm going to be screwed.

Also, if I do any OTAs will it lock out root? Could I just install unrevoked again or will my phone brick?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolsticeZero:
This morning I picked up my EVO and the wonderful people at the Sprint store ported over my number from T-mobile. They told me to leave my EVO off until my old G1 with T-Mobile stopped working. I think they might have screwed something up, though, because my voicemail number is a different number than mine and I can't use the device self service. Here's the skinny so far:

- I've done the profile update in the settings, that doesn't fix it.

- My visual voicemail does not work

- The device self service tells me that it's not the correct number for my account.

Now, this morning I did hear them mention something about a temporary number, so I'm thinking it might be defaulting to that. I'm going to call Sprint in the morning to get it taken care of, but I figured I'd come to the real experts first. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotchobo:
same exact problem.

ported my g1 number to sprint and was told the same, fired up the evo once my g1 stopped working.

the number displayed in settings>about phone is still the temporary number and the same functions do not work for me.

tell me how it goes with sprint.

much appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P_Dub_S:
Same here as well but your number is actually your ported number. I called sprint and the guy said that's normal it can take up to 2 full days before all that gets sorted out. Once your ported number shows in your about phone your voicemail will work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audscott:
Got this from another thread in the general forum: Worse case get your msl and enter ##MSL CODE# this will bring up a menu where you can make sure that your new phone number is correctly placed in both those fields. If not you can save the correct number and reboot. Sometimes the phone provisions properly sometimes it will not.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notoriouspyro:
They should have programmed your original phone number and MSID into the phone even though it had not yet been ported over yet. Call Customer service and get your programming info or go back to the store to have them reprogram it. It's going to be stuck with the temp number until it's manually configured.
