[EVO 4G Android Development] novablade:
First timer here. I had been looking into rooting since the first root was release but not until this guide did the amount of steps decrease to an acceptable level for me. This guide took me less than 10 minutes to complete with no problems and now I am fully rooted running avalaunch's froyo rom. Thank you neckface for this guide.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
No problem, man. Glad to see someone ran through it that quick.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tlisak25:
If people are still having problems tell them to unroot and start from scratch without doing system update from Sprint thanks for all or your help
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Updated. Thanks for the info, man.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eightdevil:
noobie here had bb 0.4 but wanted to full root so i followed your guide all the way till step 17 but thats when i opened up terminal and it said i needed su permission. somehow i lost su following all the steps.

tried starting from the begining but cannot get su via toasts method. anyone have any idea? thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Su is super user permission, aka root. Just type in "su" before you run the commands through terminal emulator.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eightdevil:
i tried but said i did not have permission. when i got to step 17 i somehow lost root.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Lol Well that sucks. I don't know how you managed that. Start from step 1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eightdevil:
sigh can't seem to get root at all now. its just stock rom without su
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Are you starting from step 1? What errors are you getting?
[EVO 4G Android Development] eightdevil:
yes from step 1, i'm not getting no errors. when i reboot i don't have root.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Isn't that why you're going to start from step 1, because you don't have root? If you didn't have root before, rebooting your phone isn't gonna change anything unless you start from step 1 right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eightdevil:
sorry what i meant was rebooting after step 7. i also tried starting fresh from a stock rom but cannot get root after steps 1-7.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Gotcha. Have you continued with step 8 on yet?
[EVO 4G Android Development] eightdevil:
hmm i have not tried it because i didn't think it would work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Lol Well follow through, m'friend. Steps 1 through 7 don't give you full root access. So just go through the whole tutorial.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eightdevil:
wow i must of screwed up somewhere the first time. i followed through all the steps and finally got it to work! thanks a ton neck!
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Lol Think nothing of it. Congrats!
[EVO 4G Android Development] woodyth:
Keep getting a "failure at line 393:write_radio_image PACKAGE:radio.img"

Instalation aborted

When trying to install new rom.

Ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
See the second post (mine) in this thread. Amon RA says it's on account of the Dev's not signing their ROMS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] woodyth:
Got it to load but now when I reboot it, it gets as far as the sprint 4g logo and is in a loop now. any more ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
It's the ROM you're using. I suggest searching their thread for a fix.
[EVO 4G Android Development] woodyth:
which one are you using now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Avalaunch's latest Froyo ROM. I'm back and forth between that and Freshhhhhh. Lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] woodyth:
ahhh ok

This was great thanks for the help!

hopefully this new rom works.....before I install this one what do I have to do to get rid of last one? just clear devik cache?
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Which ROM are you gonna flash? Always wipe data and dalvik. I know Koush's recovery doesn't have the option to wipe dalvik so just wipe data and cache. Fresh might give you a boot loop and several things are broken on Froyo ROMS, so read their original threads to find out what thosevare exactly. And no problem, man. I'm here to help. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] woodyth:
This is the rom I am currently downloading:

[CUSTOM\ROM\THEME]The 3nd is near....Welcome THE F!n!$h3R.....(DL LINK UP)
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Word! Nice ROM, haven't tried it out yet. Let me know how it goes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] woodyth:
will do, got omj's to work now. just needed to wipe everything. Idiot I know lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
You spelled idiot wrong, idiot. Lmao I'm jk'ing, dude. :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] woodyth:
lol dude I know............ I seen it.

Where you at?
[EVO 4G Android Development] woodyth:
BTW rom is very cool, a little hard to read,I think personally but gonna give it a day try which I like to do with all of them. so far so good gonna have to find one I like with the most possible battery life!

Woody
[EVO 4G Android Development] ltracte:
I did the first part, up to where i am supposed to eat a cookie, because i just wanted to get root access, and not really sure about installing roms. my question is, how do i know i have root access?
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Lol Nice. Download the Quick Boot app from the market and if you can get to recovery using it, youre fully rooted.

I'm in LA, woot woot! Lol Hard to read? Fresh has great battery life.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smarcin:
Magnus has different fonts available in his post. Just scroll down a ways. He came from the Hero forum. Some people didn't like his fonts, so he now gives you choices.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerryparid:
Very nice guide; typing in the command was a pain in terminal, but guide works without a hitch.

You should add: Switch to charge only mode on step 17.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Touch screen keyboard + terminal emulator = fail. Lol

I'll do that right now. Thanks for the heads up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smarcin:
Recoveries

Neckface, I rooted following Bile's method. Will your method of unlocking NAND not work with Clockworks recovery, which of course, is now on my SD card? Can you explain what's different about Amon RA recovery? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Actually yes, it would, in fact, work. Eh, I prefer Amon Ra's recovery, only because it's more refined. But with Koush's recovery you're able to flash more of the ROMs here in the Evo development forum, only because Koush's recovery allows the flashing of unsigned ROMs. Which definitely is not a good thing. Hopefully the Dev's here start signing their ROMs because its a pain in the ass to have to sign their ROM for them in order to flash it via Amon Ra's recovery, or, have to be switching back and forth between Amon Ra's and Koush's recovery on account of not knowing how to sign them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Let'sPlay2:
Wanted to thank everyone involved for their help so far, unfortunately I am seriously stuck. When unlocking nand I am able to issue all adb commands (Ive tried both on comp and terminal emulator) but when I get to bootloader screen it scans and says no image or wrong image. I've re downloaded pc36img several times and am using links posted for 2nd pc36img file as I'm already rooted and running fresh.2. I've done a data and cache wipe but this has not helped. I feel like I'm missing something and would appreciate any suggestions in helping me get this resolved. To clarify further, I've deleted the old pc36img off the sdcard and renamed all other files as instructed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
So you're getting an error at Step 13 or step 15?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Let'sPlay2:
Step 15, I issue all commands in terminal emulator, power off, power on plus vol down to white screen. Instead of flashing pc36img it tells me no image or wrong image.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
What is the file named? Have you renamed it at all?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Let'sPlay2:
PC36IMG, I did not rename the file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Hm, let me look around.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Let'sPlay2:
Thanks a lot, I appreciate your help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Hey no problem, man. Okay, I don't know how the PC36IMG.zip file you're downloading in step 9 isn't named eng-PC36IMG.zip, because that's what I got when I originally downloaded it and that's what I'm still getting when I download it now. However, this file, is without a doubt, named eng-PC36IMG.zip. So rename it "PC36IMG" when you download it and see how tha goes. http://sdx-downloads.com/sdx/evo/troot/eng-PC36IMG.zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] smarcin:
Thanks for clearing up the differences. I used Amon Ra for Hero, but I don't think we had a choice.

So, given how you feel about the different recoveries, what do you think of Koush's Rom Manager? Is it a good way to switch between ROMs or is there some benefit to booting into recovery to do flash a different ROM?

Also, thanks for this How-To and all the time you spend helping us out!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Let'sPlay2:
Crap, my fault. I've done these steps so many times I completely forgot that yes that is the file name and I did rename to PC36IMG. I wanted to ask if there were any other files on my sd card that could be causing any issues, for instance I have the update.zip on my card from following thebiles tutorial I followed for step 1 of root. I also have a couple roms, the radio update zip, and all the files required for step 2 on my sdcard currently. I have to get to bed so I'm off for the night, but I will re download from the link you supplied and try anything else you might have to add in the morning.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Same here, Amon Ra's recovery for the G1. I never had any complaints, and I still don't.

I think it's great. Although I've never used it, it's pretty much CyanogenMod updater or SuperD updater, only it incorporates a collaboration of ROM's. It's fantastic. S'wonderful even. As for being able to boot directly into recovery, it's just a time saver for the lazy asses (like me) Then again, you can always download the Quick Boot app and boot directly into recovery mode regardless of the recovery you happen to be using. Koush's recovery is amazing, with some tweaks, it could be perfect.

Lol I do spend a lot of time on here, don't I? I really need to get a life. :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
Sweet deal, man. Run that PC36IMG.zip file I gave you the link to and let me know if it works. Go ahead and delete any files you used to root using TheBiles method. Keep the ROM's though, those are fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Let'sPlay2:
So it turns out the sd card I was using is the culprit. I had to take out the one that came with the phone because it was acting up after I rooted and was using an old one that wasn't sdhc. So I just swapped back and everything in your tutorial worked like a charm. I searched toasts original walk through and another member had the same problem...goes to show the search button truly is your friend. Anyway, thanks for the tutorial and your willingness to help, you da man!
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
One more thing to add to the list of FAQ's. Congrats!
[EVO 4G Android Development] erikivy:
nackface, thanks for all the time you spent on this tutorial. For a newb like me, it's invaluable. I made it all the way through step 14 before hitting a snag in step 15. After putting the second of the two PC36IMG.zip in the root of the SD card and booting into hboot, I'm getting an error that says

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

I can then reboot without a problem, but can't go beyond the step. I'm downloading another copy of the second PC36IMG.zip, but it won't be done for several minutes, so I figured I'd ask if anyone has any suggestions.

Thanks!

Erik

edit: It seems to be working now!!! It found PC36IMG.zip and is updating as I type this. Must have been a corrupt download or something...... [fingers crossed]
[EVO 4G Android Development] kayawire:
You, Sir Neckface deserves a medal !!!!!!!!!!!:D

This is by far the best guide for rooting/unlocking nand for all newbs!!!!

It took me about 40 minutes (only because I took my time typing in the correct commands in the terminal program) ....

Thanks again for this super guide.... Moderators please, I beg you, for the love of God, make this a sticky for all newbies :D:D:D:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] neckface:
If you made it through with no errors, you have full root access. Trust. ;)

As for the wireless tether, go to settings, applications, manage applications, then select the Wireless Tether app and uninstall it. then download it from the market. Should work.

Sorry for the delay, man. I was at the mall and my phone died on me. Let me know if you run into any more problems.

*shrugs* I try, very hard. Lol Not really. :p

Glad you found this tutorial so easy, m'friend. And just a heads up, if you want this thread stickied, you'd have to notify Stericson. ;)
[Legend General] iori77:

Hey,

Can anyone direct me to said radio and (maybe) confirm that it works with rooted Hero on Era (polish network) without same problems that UK Orange users encountered?

Thanks!

I think that this is the one you are looking for. LINK

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niclas90:
No problem:D

Do you feel any difference on gps or wifi?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kad3t:
Haven't check the GPS yet as I'm still indoors but I had no problems with WIFI before, so I'd be hard to judge the difference as it's working fine here as well.

[Desire General] VeeDubZ:
I know the differences, and A2SD has a slight speed increase over A2sd+ but how would you go about adding it to a 2.2 rom now that we have Ext4 partition support?

i see that the Modaco 2.2 kitchen has the option but since i don't have a paid account there that is out of the question for now at least.

So what is the procedure to add it to a Rom please??
[Desire General] richardtrip:
You can already try with defrost (a2sd+).
[Desire General] VeeDubZ:
ahh great, i take it that that is the adb pm setInstallLocation 2 method?

Rooted my Evo and unlocked nand yesterday...now running Fresh v.3 rom. I just had a message saying there is a PRL update. If I do this update, will I undo root access???

thanks,

Alan
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muledeer:
go ahead with PRL update - it won't hurt anything

Mule
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] admorris:
Yea, went ahead and did it...no changes made to PRL version...still 060666 or something like that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bamba1260:
I thought I had the most updated PRL, 60665 but after seeing his post I went ahead and tried to update it, are enough 60666 is out. Hopefully it fixes my ridiculously slow 3g speeds I have been experiencing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itmustbejj:
It didn't fix my 3g speeds here in Indianapolis. PRL's just set the order in which you phone tries to connect to towers (they go for the closest, ignoring signal strength). You can check what tower you are connected to by typing ##33284# (##DEBUG#), but don't hit send. Go to 1x Engineering menu and look at your SID (tower id) you can look up your SID here and see which tower you are using:

http://www.roamingzone.com/sid/

That is the best way to monitor if a new PRL is actually doing anything.

[General Topics] manwood:
I'd like to be able to deploy a lightweight web server on my mobile device (android 2.1) but there are obviously NAT issues with respect to the mobile provider's network. Is there anyway I can make my device publicly available/addressable over the internet?

Thanks
[General Topics] john1506:
as far as i know you cant, the service provider will assign each device a private address, it can only go online through their own NAT services, the phone will connect to any GSM Service providers signal distributors.

the only public IP available would be the Signal Distributors, and I doubt very highly your service provider would go through the trouble of assigning your phone a static private IP and then Port forwarding to your phone.

you can do this over WIFI without trouble you just need webservices running on the phone.

as far as i know there is no direct way of connecting to your mobile phone using a public IP Address

I think there is no cab for AS, because its integrated piece of operating system...

I think you must make hardreset, if it doesnt work

While your mobile is not connected start the Task-Manager at your Computer and stop the process wmdc.exe
