OK I know this is a stupid question but I just want to make sure...

The zip file I was supposed to rename...doesn't have the ".zip" in it, just shows up as eng-PC36IMG with no ".zip"

I saw someone mention it earlier, but I was curious...should I rename it to PC36IMG.zip or just erase the "eng-" and let it name itself?

When I let it name itself it doesn't include .zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
Thank you for the reply, I thought so but I'm nervous and hard for me to function when I', nervous =p
[EVO 4G Android Development] tokuzumi:
Simple answer: Yes.

But you can select any rom from this forum that you want. I chose this one, as it was the easiest to install.

[EVO 4G Android Development] TeknoJnky:
open windows explorer > tools > folder options > view > uncheck hide extensions

if it has a zip icon, just remove the eng- since extensions are hidden by default in windows
[EVO 4G Android Development] GumboChief:
Do not add .zip. You must have known file extensions disabled.
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
Well, this depends. It sounds like your using windows with the option to hide file extensions of known file types turned on. If this is the case, if you add the .zip on the end of the file name what you will wind up with is a file named PC36IMG.zip.zip which hboot won't find.

Try leaving the .zip off the end and double click it once you've saved it. It should open in winzip, 7zip, winrar, whatever archiving solution your using. Actually, winzip may not open it properly because of the signature but if it trys to launch winzip you still know you've got the right extension.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
I feel like a retard, but that nailed it~! Thank you./...

So now I guess I wipe my phone =(

Can I get a drumroll or something from someone!

**edit** Thanks everyone for the quick answers~! ...hope you are all around for a while in case I mess something up during the root process.

I'm a little worried about the step where you have only a small window to get the command in, but I'll try it and see what happens.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Intensentropy:
Does this include NAND unlock?

I finished with the root and everything seems to be working fine, but I'm new to this and I'm a little confused about the NAND unlock. By following the video (thanks for that btw) do I still need to do Toast's Part II? Or am I good to go?

[EVO 4G Android Development] jayweezie21:
ok so im a total android n00b coming from windows mobile. I've read and read and read all day then I come home from work and I'm ready to root my evo.

soooo i get through all the steps finally until i reach 5S) cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/local/flash_image

chmod 755 /data/local/flash_image

/data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

so i type the first line hit enter...and it repeats itself...type the second line hit enter and the line repeats itself just like the instructions say. but when i do this with the 3rd line its giving me a permission denied error. how can I fix this and proceed?

thanks alot!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
ok after the wipe on the first step im getting

'adb is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file'

=\ what did i miss

I still have the stuff from when I rooted my hero on my pc, maybe I need something different
[EVO 4G Android Development] frankenstein\:
the android sdk\tools directory isn't in your path. go to the tools directory where you installed the android sdk and then type adb shell or whatever.

it probably wouldn't hurt to do dl the latest android sdk either if its been a while.

and install HTC sync to get the right drivers for the phone on your puter.

2 questions guys:

1) When I have ADB connected, I thought it said the prompt should be "#" but I get "$". Does it matter? (I realized that might be a noob question, but I just want to make sure.

2) When I finish Part I and move on to Toast's Part II and finish, he says to come back and get and flash the latest radio. Am I missing something? Is it not necessary to do anymore or are the links for the latest radio buried in the comments?

somehwere around page 43. there's a direct link to some real easy instructions for us idiots.

i musta missed the post or something but i didn't see any mention of how to make that part 2 scan do it's thing so i can continue on with the process. did anyone mention how to make that thing fly. step 8 i guess it is. i've spent the last hour trying to get past that part2 scanning.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jahouse:
make sure you are running adb shell under the the android-sdk-windows\tools\ folder. So from the command prompt you need to type cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\ or where ever you put the sdk

[EVO 4G Android Development] Karl:
dint break anything on me.. and must roms will update the radio and there is a wimax update so it fixable if it does ... or you can always load stock shipped rom to fix radio or wimax much much easier to root then 1.47

I tried everything, I downloaded the files from here so I didnt wanna register and download more files with different names from another site.

I did his little trick, typing the commands while the phone was off so it would be ready when I pressed the "up" arrow...and I can't hit the friggin window...I am spamming the heck out of the command and all i get is stuck on scanning =\

Wonder if it somehow got disabled, I'mnailing it right when i hear the sound and nothing..

but the sdcard is safe
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karl:

do you have it on charging mode?

and how do you know it was stuck on scan?
[EVO 4G Android Development] iikon_69:
make sure USB debugging is on
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rippley05:
yes charge only

it was stuck on part 2 is scanning after it was booted up for a few mins,

usb debugging is on

I hit it on the HTC EVO 4g screen...not the big 4G screen

"If you miss your window, then it will just sit at the "part 2 is scanning" for a long time and your phone will go to the home screen.

i cannot get part two to work at all. it just sits at scanning. no matter how many times i try :mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] sshrum:
I too was getting the "part 2 is scanning" problem (would just sit there)

You need to run the command as soon as your hear your PC detect the device while it's booting up. The video doesn't mention that.

Run adb shell as soon as you can (when the HTC logo is still showing). You need to be fast. If you get "error: device not found", try again.

Hope this helps. Worked for me.

Look at post #145...that's where I got the instructions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karl:

[EVO 4G Android Development] ausch30:
for those who are stuck scanning, did you enter the part1 twice? I made that mistake the first time. You enter it, power off your phone, boot it back up and then enter it again. If you watch at 6:40 of the video, he enters it the second time. After entering it the second time is when you go the site on your phones browser.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Karl:
yes.. it will however not update the wimax radio at this time they are cooking one with wimax update include

I have been rapid firing the Part2 command over and over until it goes from Device not found to Part 2 is scanning for over an hour. I keep rebooting the phone and trying it again and I cannot get past the Part 2 is scanning.

Do I need to be trying to catch it at the exact moment the usb connection is detected or some time after that? I can't beleive with all of my tries that I am not catching it just as the connection is detected.

Any ideas?

if you did anything to the sdcard or you put in another card, make sure it's is formatted as FAT32.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
ok do this unmount your sd and wipe it then go to privacy in your settings and do another wipe

once you do that then you need to put all the files back on your sd card and do step one

adb shell

sh /sdcard/part1

it will ask you to reboot your phone then do that and copy and paste this again

adb shell

sh /sdcard/part1

then go to that exact website it says http://bit.ly/ad0pRn

its gonna ask you to refresh and then do it and then it will tell you to reboot and run part two

at this point you should see the $

adb shell /data/local/part2 (COPY THIS NOW)

then type reboot

ok your phone will reset you will hear the sound on your computer first then when you hear it the second time paste and hit enter

it will scan and then you will come up with this
