looks like the unrevoked team has done it, got the rom OTA update WITH the new radio and baseband version reading 1.47.651.1..i think the other root methods got the rom, kernel etc but not the full radio..

thats what I want
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrfuzzie23:
Yup looks like an actual root method that u can flash roms through and uses the ClockworkMod recovery menu...so although its a few extra steps... its worth it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] i-l-l:
Yeah...Don't think I'm going to stick with unrevoked. While I'm very into the homebrew community, I can't see myself rooting until 2.2 is leaked or released from HTC/Sprint. I'll wait for a few days, but I need that boosted 4G radio since 4G just started here yesterday and I get a poor signal.

[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
Same as the rest of us. There must be something wrong with the zip they posted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
i havent had a chance to thoroughly research this. this is the first thread ive read about unrevoked stuff, but we used a modified version of /system/bin/reboot because the stock version wouldnt allow the "reboot recovery" command.

i appreciate your support by using my ROM and according to the error posted above, put this version of reboot into your system/bin folder and rename to reboot.

after you've replaced the reboot binary in /system/bin with the linked one below, attempt the update again.

let me know if there are any other issues!

adb push c:\downloads\reboot-ruu6 /system/bin/reboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] markdt098:
This worked for me! Thanks so much!
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
personally im going to hold off on applying their method because of a big red flag they note at the very bottom of their page:

the radio is not something to lightly mess around with and since they can't seem to accurately update it to show the correct version number, something is not being done properly.

in addition to sprint pulling the OTA due to a bug where if the radio is updated twice too quickly the phone won't turn on again, make me very hesitant to update the radio. these are only my opinions, but i will wait.

for those who are a bit more adventurous than me and have done this update, what version does your radio show?
[EVO 4G Android Development] markdt098:
Hmm, well the update installed after pushing joeykrim's file, but I'm not sure if everything went through because I am still showing the same baseband...
[EVO 4G Android Development] PLESTIUC:
I did not do the update from HTC yesterday because I wanted to keep unrevoked and WiFi Tether working.

what I'd like to know is if I install THIS new unrevoked patched with the OTA from yesterday, if this will wipe my phone? is this like flashing a rom where your phone gets wiped completely or more like the first unrevoked where everything stayed the same on the EVO?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
as i quoted above in my previous post, unrevoked says the radio baseband version doesn't update. on two phones they tried, one shows the original baseband the other shows the last OTA baseband...

to me, this is a red flag and i will wait.

another method for you to check if this update was applied successfully is to check your build version, it should read, "1.47.651.1 CL195459 unrevoked"

short answer, no this will not wipe your phone.

longer more technical answer:looking through the updater-script file in their .zip file, only files in /system are patched, wimax radio updated, kernel updated and radio updated. nothing in /data so no settings or 3rd party apps are touched.

Only thing I can think of.

Of course it's probably stating the ruu flicker. but wtf
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
Yeah, but which one? I found a bunch of them. All of them have Flickr in the title. Well, I installed one and same error.

going to just go searching for flicker.apk.

This is turning out to be vastly useless. Found Flickr.apk from the supersonic ROM when I rooted. I run from the command prompt:

(both the .apk and the odex are in the same directory)

adb install flicker.apk

and the apk file installs fine but then I see this error for the odex:

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]

*sigh* it gets stranger and stranger.

Anyone have any ideas.

Please.

cant find certain apps in marketplace

So, Ive successfully ran Unrevoked 2 v2(the one after the debacle) and everything is working great. I dont have 4g in my area so not too sure whether or not that is broken(please enlighten me if you know whether or not it should be). The one issue I found today is when I was searching for twonkymedia server in the Marketplace it comes back as nothing found. Does the same with slingplayer. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Does anyone know of a fix? I cant find the apk anywhere for this app.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
[edit] Now that Unrevoked has said "so sorry - no fix in sight" [/edit]

Does anyone know what the best course of action is for v1 / broken WiMax people is?

If you need 4G now I'm guessing try your luck at the Sprint store. I don't need 4G anytime soon but use the root functionality daily.

I like to roll back and do Toast. I realize I wont get 4G back, but at least there's a lot of activity on the board for Toast folks. Sitting around waiting for a morsel of information from Unrevoked isn't working for me...

Is it safe to assume if there's ever a v1 fix, it would be recoverable if I switched methods?

I apologize for the noob questions. Normally I would sit, read, learn and wait but the 30 day window forces me to jump in where I normally wouldn't.

Thanks

I'm new to the rooting scene. Whats the difference from unrevoked and toasts method to rooting? Any advantages or disadvantages to both methods?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
I find Toast has tons of guides and people on here willing to help you along. Unrevoked is easy, but if something goes wrong or if you want something explained, your SOL. I'm trying to unroot an Unrevoked phone now and can't seem to find a soul who can tell me how to do it.

I'll let more qualified folks explain the technical differences.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rpearl:
Toast's uses leaked images which you can flash, which don't have the locked-down stuff the shipped phone does. The leaked images were obtained from, uh, somewhere.

Unrevoked's uses an exploit present on the (pre-OTA) phone. You can "unroot" (whatever that means) from Unrevoked by uninstalling the Unrevoked APK and rebooting your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
Seems like you figured out what "unroot" means with your suggestion, however that only applies to Unrevoked 1. How about Unrevoked 2 and their rooted OTA.

Follow this thread and watch all the wonderful help I get with Unrevoked to see exactly what I'm talking about.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nobrakes:
I did the unrevoked 2 update and lost my 4g. But then I tried this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915 and got everything working again. I did the greyed out part.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
Did you need to do Toast part 2 first? Part 1?

My concerns, if I understand Unrevoked 2 correctly, is that were not truly rooted and our nand is only temporarily unlocked for the purpose of getting the custom recovery installed.

Thanks

UPDATE: >>>>>>> THIS IS NOT A 4G FIX <<<<<<<

Tired of waiting for answers so damn the Torpedos...

I was one of the Unrevoked 1 > Unrevoked 2 > Unrevoked Patched OTA (v1, but its not germane to the conversation)

I was able to start with Toast part 2

Everything went according to plan.

Thanks to all that offered help...

[EVO 4G Android Development] shawn.pink:
so if unrevoked 2 works, but scrambles the mac of 4g, could you use it, then flash to a rom with the earlier baseband, and install a rooted updated rom from there?

[EVO 4G Android Development] YeOj:
I'm in the same boat as you. I skipped the Unrevoked OTA v1 and ran the Unrevoked OTA v2 which hopefully means my 4G radio still works (I don't live in a 4G area). I am noticing the same issue with certain apps missing from the market. I can't find the Sling Player app either. I even went to the Sling website and scanned the barcode with no luck. Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?

Unrevoked 2 OTA patch v2 still kills wimax

Can I ask people not to say that their 4g works, if they can't test it on a 4g network. Just because you can turn your 4g radio on, doesn't mean it works. Please refrain from saying your 4g works if you aren't sure, you could be helping further complicate the problem.

My 4g doesn't connect now after:

1. Unrevoked 1 "root"

2. Unrevoked 2 "custom recovery"

3. Unrevoked update OTA patch v2 (the one with '99% less brick')

All the unrevoked processes went smooth, but the 3rd step (OTA patch v2) killed my wimax none-the-less. Even though the v2 patch says "wimax update not included" it still messed my wimax up, and I can no longer connect. My 4g continually is 'scanning' and turns off and on every 4 or 5 minutes while 'scanning'. I've tweeted unrevoked twice about this, but no reply, and they are still distributing their patch. BAD FORM UNREVOKED.

Just to clarify, I only did the 3 steps listed above, and nothing else. No other rooting attempts, no v1 patch. Nothing else but the 3 unrevoked steps listed above. 4g = dead.

NOBRAKES: did you do the v1 OTA patch from unrevoked, or v2 patch? Do you know?

Thanks everyone- Hopefully we can all get our phones back to 110% :)

UPDATE: Followed witslack's post "how to start over" (starting with Toast part 2). And that fixed my 4G. I was an unrevoked v2 patcher.

Now I am off the unrebroked train, and on the toast FULL ROOT train, with my 4g connecting and working again. YAY!
[EVO 4G Android Development] TransformerX:
I'm wanna make sure I'm clear here. I never did a full root, I only did the unrevoked method to gain tether. When it came time for the OTA, I uninstalled 'unrevoked', rebooted my phone, downloaded the OTA. I tried to reapply 'unrevoked' to see if root would be obtained...no go! Did, me, trying to reapply the 'unrevoked' method brake my 4G or am I still good to go? My other question is, will the new 'unrevoked' ver2 give me root and leave my 4G intact?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tool2269:
the OTA you downloaded breaks unrevoked rooting.

i dont 'believe' you can do the unrevoked2(for recovery) without first having unrevoked rooting. you'll need both of those to do the unrevoked-OTA-version 2 (which should leave 4g working)

i just cant seem to get the unrevoked ota version 2 to work after doing unrevoked2.:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
Ooops. Yer done rooting for the time being. Stay tuned...
[EVO 4G Android Development] GumboChief:

[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:

[EVO 4G Android Development] yznhmr:
ok so i have read all the posts.. and am confused..

I used the pre OTA unrevoked for teathering ...works great

i have not done OTA,

I believe i want to use the UNREVOKED2 to update my phone..

will this work correctly or will it break my market apps, etc?

I followed the first part of the UNREVOKED2, phone went to booloader, went to HBboot, press power.. says install drivers (which drivers?) ???? I have the HTC drivers installed on PC...

Debugging is on, im connected as disk drive...

I only need to be rooted to use teathering, but i want the updates..

Or do i just do the OTA and wait for a new root for teathering?

I could do a full root, but i dont really want to start the custom OS loading again.. till Froyo comes out.(working well). ( i was flashing every couple days on my TP2..lol...its a sickenss)
[EVO 4G Android Development] GumboChief:
I would not run unrevoked 2, if I were you. There are many reports of wimax still being damaged.

Either keep your phone just as it is, until Froyo, or run Toast 1 & 2 (via the 3 click root utility), followed by whitslack's "How to start over" thread.

If you go with route 2, you will have a rooted phone on the latest software & radio versions, but you will lose everything, not backed up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yznhmr:
Is there a way to "Back up" before doing step 2?

I guess im mainly concerned about the APPs i have DL.. how do i get those back?

everythign else, if i lose it so what..
[EVO 4G Android Development] GumboChief:
Best way to restore both free and paid apps is via appbrain.com.

The trick is this- Once you have installed and synched your application list to appbrain, you must create a second "list" called "backup" or your favorite name.

Then copy the apps from, the "installed on my phone" list, to the "backup" list. This way, when you wipe the phone, you can reinstall 20 apps in about 5 minutes. I know this makes no sense now, but when you look at it, it should.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yznhmr:
not finding that webpage or and app named that
[EVO 4G Android Development] GumboChief:
Sorry.

www.appbrain.com
[EVO 4G Android Development] yznhmr:
ok i got it and did as recommended ..thanks..

:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] tool2269:
or download titanium backup in the market (assuming your rooted via unrevoked1) and it backs up apps and settings of your phone. does appbrain allow for backing up ALL apps? i know that using astro filemanager, there were certain apps that could not be backed up, but titanium backup did them. just my .02

about the 'drivers' for unrevoked2 (not to be confused with unrevoked ota v2)...when you first opened the unrevoked2 exe, it installs a folder with the "drivers" as well as a .html page that describes exactly how to install them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GumboChief:
AppBrain is not a backup in the traditional sense. It simply maintains a list of the market applications which have been installed, and allows you to push them back out when the phone is wiped.

#1 reason I use it, is it is much easier to browse for apps on my PC, than on the Evo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 1wingangel:
Will this work if using fresh?
[EVO 4G Android Development] yznhmr:
ok so i tried to do this..

http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/evo_ota_2_patch#evo_4g_1476511-1326516_ota_fix

but it says i have to do this

"If you have not run unrevoked2 to install a custom recovery on your phone yet, you must do so now."

which im guessing i have to ROOT first?

which method do you recommend to do the original ROOT?

so i need to unlock, then do a recovery, then do the above update.. is that correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smac61:
If you are currently "rooted" via Unrevoked 1, then you run Unrevoked 2. After that run the patched OTA

But, why? The whole point of Unrevoked was a simple 1 click root that didn't require flashing and such. Now that you have to start down that path, why not just go a little further and do it right? i.e. Toast. Use the 3 click method here and its actually easier IMO...

As you may or may not have noticed, you'll get ZERO help from team Unrevoked if something goes wrong or if you simply want to do something that their sudo-root doesn't support.

But hey, its your phone...

I only say this because my parents brought in their Samsung Moments they got back in October because both batteries last 1.5-2hrs MAX!
