Thanks for the info. I'm debating between damage control and bugless beast ROM's. If anyone has any say on this and other choices please let me know as I am going to put on a rom today. Do i do Nandroid while im installing the ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheBiles:
Of course! You could have also rooted that way if you really wanted to learn adb the fun way. ;)

You should always nandroid before flashing anything in case something goes wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
Is the nand protection the nandroid backup? Sorry i'm new to android.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kyleblakepeters:
I'm getting TP - Bypassed on the 2nd TP in step where we flash the zip to root. Is this a concern?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biggamer3:
Great guide. I am having some problems though. I am a noob so bare with me. By Rom Manager i cant flash the clockwork recovery because it keeps telling me, "unable to contact server. Please make sure you have a stable internet connection"

Not sure what is going on, since i have internet and all with my browser
[EVO 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
I keep getting this when trying to flash ROM through recovery...

"E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory) E: signature verification failed Installation aborted"

WTF!?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SheeerZ:
i keep getting an error message

EX: PC36IMG not recognized or wrong image.

I have no idea how to fix this or what is wrong.

Can anyone help me out with this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
Hahaha! Nevermind...I accidently renamed the file to "update.zip.zip". God, I'm an idiot for that one. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheBiles:
Re: [TUTORIAL] IDIOT-PROOF Root Guide! No ADB, no fuss!

Just skip the ROM Manager steps as suggested and do the fix in step 29.

[EVO 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
Titanium backup will not restore my apps! :mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
I can't get to the recovery part after i select update.zip. It says the file does not exist. I renamed the file to update.zip. This is the location of the file on my sd card.

G:\clockworkmod\download\www.droidaftermarket.com\koush\recoveries\update.zip.

Is that the right file that I changed. I want to do a nandroid backup but cant yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
G:\clockworkmod\download\www.droidaftermarket.com\koush\recoveries

actually thats the correct path.
[EVO 4G Android Development] buddytammy:
question. i rooted my evo and i have to take it back. something is wrong with the screen. how do i unroot it and put it back to stock. i am a noob sorry for the question
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
Another problem is that titanium backup says my phone is not rooted. I rooted it but did not install a custom rom yet. How do I see what I did wrong while rooting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oldmansampson:
Hey, wings you need to put the update.zip on the root of your sd card. You can't have it in any folders. Give that a try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oldmansampson:
You should be able to flash the stock rom the same way you would go about it with a custom one, I've seen a link somewhere in this forum and then just go to your settings and format the sd card to get it all clean.
[EVO 4G Android Development] buddytammy:
thanks i found it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheBiles:
The file you download is already a .zip file, so when you rename it you should only have to type "update". If you name it "update.zip" then it will actually be "update.zip.zip". Windows hides known file extensions by default, so that could be the problem.

Install the RUU from Sprint. Search this forum for a download; it should be an .exe file.

Make sure you have USB Debugging enabled (menu -> settings -> applications -> development) and you click the "Problems?" tab to reinstall BusyBox.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
Thanks for the info on the update file guys. I moved it and renamed it and it finds it now. With the Titanium backup I went ahead and checked the box in the settings and dl the busybox. It works and says my phone is rooted but it says it can't find any apps. I know they are on the card because I saw them in the folder. What can I do to bring them back?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheBiles:
Try rebooting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] skoobz:
why the hell aint this a sticky yet? i can now flash on the go. sweeet. mucho thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Biggamer3:
following all the directions to a T until 32 C. It just wont apply SDcard:update.zip as i clicked.

I keep getting this message:

What can i do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheBiles:
Re: [TUTORIAL] IDIOT-PROOF Root Guide! No ADB, no fuss!

When you rename the file, just name it "update". Since it is already a .zip file the additional ".zip" is already there. Windows hides known file extensions so you don't actually see the .zip.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Biggamer3:
:D:D:D

Thanks!

Took the chance and did part 30 till end without wiping clean partition as i had too many damn apps to reinstall.

Now that its rooted what can i test to see if it really is rooted?
[EVO 4G Android Development] eck0728:
For some reason my 4g stopped working after this, i went to the rooted .6 and the newest radio update and i even rebooted, soft reset, and update profile. im fresh outa ideas but i don't wanna go back to stock i like wifi tethering :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
anyone wanna try to help me?
[EVO 4G Android Development] eck0728:
if you told us whats wrong maybe we can help you
[EVO 4G Android Development] impactsto:
I had the same problem (check around page 9 or so). I could never get it to work. I reflashed back to stock 4 times, tried all the ROMS, whatever I did I could not get it to work. In the end, I am back at stock and everything is fine.

I've been flashing ROMs on android since RC33 on my G1 and never had an issue...till now. I will wait till there is a new method of rooting before I bother trying again. It may not be for a week or so but, its worth not have an aneurysm over this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] BadDbOxEr:
Re: [TUTORIAL] IDIOT-PROOF Root Guide! No ADB, no fuss!

I'm in the same boat...Very frustrated after 2 days. Hopefully someone will come up with something soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] impactsto:
If there is one thing I know is the dev community here is some of the best there is. I do not doubt for a second that there will be an "ultimate" root method with all the goodies coming out sooner than later. It's just playing the how long can I wait before I try something new game. Then before you know it we will have fully functional froyo goodness.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
I tried "Bugless Beast" after "damage control" and the same thing happened. It won't install. I don't understand what is wrong and why roms won't install on my phone. When I click the Rom and hit install there is no progress bar and it doesnt install. I have the file update.zip on the phone and did all the steps correctly. If anyone figures this out please let me know. If there is a fix later do I have to wipe my phone clean again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] SCSweeps:
This is also happening to me. Everything works up to the point where I install the custom ROM. I select it and it just returns to the menu without installing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] impactsto:
Same here. They will figure it out. There is a good number of us in the same boat. It may not be tonight but they will get it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] live_in_the_sky06:
Thanks for making everything easy to follow.I have a question. I just want to root the phone so I can modify the files on the stock rom. I dont want to flash any roms or anything. I just want the expresso bottom bar on my phone. What steps do I need to follow in order to get that taken care of? I rooted using the unrevoked method
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
I don't mind waiting at all. The only thing is I have wiped my phone and cleared the cache. I'd like to customize it back to the way I like. Will I have to wipe it again in a day or so when they figure this out?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mylasthope:
Does this method of rooting work with fresh our do I have to use toast's?
[EVO 4G Android Development] nickhx2:
i think i'm missing something in regards to re-installing the stock rom: if the ruu is an exe file, how can we flash it as a rom? or does it auto-install it for you if you run it from desktop while plugged in or something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tkrechel:
you plug the phone in and run the exe. it does all the rest
[EVO 4G Android Development] jxs1984:
thank you for this guide! installing custom rom is alot easier than i thought :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
anyone? do we have to clear the phone again so soon after clearing it. I want to know if i should customize my phone or not even bother.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheBiles:
You must root with this method in order to modify and flash custom ROMs. As far as I know, only Fresh Evo has the Espresso bottom bar.

No. As long as you're flashing the same ROM you shouldn't have to wipe.

Uh... Fresh is a custom ROM. Toast is a dev who figured out how to root the EVO.
[EVO 4G Android Development] massivebasset:
Just wanted to post my thanks. Followed this last night with little to no problems, and am now cruising with Fresh rom.

So thank you, thank you, thank you.

I think Ill hold off on the "Part 2" root until someone like yourself can post a more simple to follow method like this thread.

Great work, and a great asset to the community.

Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] WillJitsu:
Just to be clear, this simplified guide only covers Part 1 of Toast's root method, correct? After doing these steps, I will need to follow Part 2 that Toast posted?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
Am I missing something here? I Couldn't get the free version of Titanium Backup to restore. Do I have to buy the full version? :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] CUKIO34:
I would also like to see a part two of toasts method updated for a noob like myself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vandam500:
Would also love to see Toast's Part 2 :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Skippy38:
Ok couple of questions after reading this entire thread. If I do this root method will it give me superuser rights or is this just a trick to get Roms to load?:confused:

Also will the step for Toast's part two be as simple as following the instructions he has laid out?:confused:

I will give this a try today because I too damn curious what all the hooplas is about with a rooted android phone. I am coming from the WINMO life and custom ROM are a necessity as the operating system SUCKS!!!! and you need something to help it out.;)

This all being said is there any issues with any functions not working after a full root or this partial one as well? Again coming from WInMO where if you look at it wrong something breaks.

As you can tell this is my first android phone and I want to get in on the party but i am cautious as I am not skilled in it yet.

Thanks for a great tutorial and cheers!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
Custom ROMs will not flash. I get as far as "choose zip from sdcard" in the Clockwork Mod Recovery screen. When I scroll down to the ROM and click on it, it doesnt even load (there's no progress bar) and then when I reboot nothing happened. I'm stuck in the old ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
Seems to be hit n' miss. Some ROMs will install, but some wont. *sigh*
[EVO 4G Android Development] chino0131:
I have the same issue. Mine says bypassed as well, but I cannot find an answer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
I can't get the new radio file to flash with this root. Goddamn it...I'm going to try toast's method. Having too many problems with this one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
I'm still having this problem. Can someone please help? How did you get this to work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 12MaNy:
It seems to be hit and miss. Some stuff will flash and other stuff wont. I got "RvU 1.3.2" and "DamageControl v3.0" to flash but that's about it so far. The new radio file wouldn't flash either (huge disappointment). I suggest using toast's root method if you want more efficiency.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Skippy38:
Hey I had the same problem. But if you turn the phone off (reboot it) then turn it off and go into recovery mode and load radio from zip it works no issue, just did mine. Honestly I am trying to see the need to do part 2 of Toast's method with the features I have now. Can someone enlighten me?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vWvSTATICvWv:
^ ^ I was just about to ask something similar. Can you use this method and flash the read/write files from Toast?? Sorry if this has been asked...
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
How do you load radio from zip. I'd really like to do this without having to do part 2 as I don't know how to go into shell of my pc to do this...i think its command prompt but i dont know what to do then.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Skippy38:
Pretty easy really. Go get the new radio.zip file put it on your phone in SD root. Turn phone off, power back on (holding dwn vol and pwr button) go into recovery mode. Load zip from SD card, choose file by scrolling down to radio.zip hit install watch it load (pretty fast) back out to the reboot prompt, let it do its thing. When you start up the phone after all this go to the settings, systems updates (it should say congrats you did it), then update your PRL you are done.

There is a good tutorial in the formus right now follow the direction it a simple thing.

Now just what does the new radio do I ask....mmmuuuuhahahahahah:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
can someone tell me what to type in command prompt while opening a shell to edit this phone...how do i get it to the phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
thanks for that info. So putting on this radio will fix the problems with the rom? Do you know offhand where this file is and what does the radio do lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Skippy38:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696462

on the front page of the forums page give it a read. MAKE SURE YOU READ HOW TO DO THIS BEFORE YOU TRY IT! This can brick your phone.

It really is easy, follow the steps in this thread to root phone, follow the steps in the post i linked (i thinks its in there) or what I wrote and your good. Hell this is my first Android phone and did all this in about 30 min really is easy, but I can't stress enough take the time to read the posts to learn... my entire two pennies.....

I have no clue what the radio fixes so say it is a Wimax fix, not sure...
[EVO 4G Android Development] wings9130:
thanks for the info...im still not sure what this radio does though. can you tell me how to do a shell of my phone from my pc please. Do I have to do step 2 in the root to get these roms to work?

restore then go in and delete the HtcLockScreen.apk and reflash the vanilla lockscreen. makesure your using the old one for the older roms and the new one for the official 2.1 roms. they are different files but the same effect

i recently stumbled upon this really cool sonyericsson bluetooth watch, it looks pretty cool and the functions are really awsome.

http://www.mobiledia.com/news/60110.html

however it's only for SE phones, yet i found a couple of watches like it, like this one

is there any watch like this compatible with HD2? or did anyone try it?

[HD2 Accessories] mathiosn:

[HD2 Accessories] aro:
Works just fine

I have the SE 150 bluetooth watch and use it with the smarthWatchM tweak on my HD2.

It works perfectly.

Very convenient features. I like to skip through y audio by pressing a botton on the watch, or preview emails and rss feeds on my wrist.

the battery life of the watch is actually quite good, but the price for that is the size and weight.

I can not get my long sleve shirts to cover the watch. It is too thick, so i am not wearing it on a daily basis anymore.

Wish somebody came out with a thinner, nicer design model.

Hello friends,

First of all, I apologize for my bad English!

I have a HTC Tytn II running WM6.5 ROM, HardSPL 3.57 and Radio 171.09.

The problem I have with this phone, is that the camera never worked properly, sometimes in return for Radio and it works for a few days and back to stop. I do not know what else to do since I switched to the original ROM from the factory, and the original radio, but have no success.

What should I do? Some could help me with this?

Thank you all for space.

It looks like you need to find a propper radio combination, keep testing other radios ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] MeeMk:
I repaired a customer's phone once who had this problem. He had the original WM6.1 ROM and original radio ROM so I didn't flash any new ROMs. I opened the phone and cleaned out the camera connections, and applied heat to the connections to renew the joins. I put the phone back together and the camera was still not working, so I opened it and cleaned the camera connections again and applied heat. Put it back together, and it started working. Hasn't been a problem since :) No idea why it didn't work the first time. Looks like the connection just needed to be made secure.

I think almost everything is going to end up being more subjective when it comes to these.

I have used many kinds in the past and each time I get a new device I always order a Phantomskinz.

I only wish they offered just the screen part in matte, but for under $8 for two skinz shipped I have found it to have the best clarity and feel.

I am horrible at putting protectors on and something always goes wrong, but even with the little imperfections I don't notice them when using the device.
