Did you upgrade your build to 1.47 after your root? If youre still on 1.17, wireless will not work.

Did you get the "wireless tether for root users" app in the android market?

I rooted my phone before the update and was using the stock rooted rom will this updated rom :cool:do anything for me and where can i dl the original easy 3 step root that i used a couple weeks ago? It was fast and easy to load a custom rom being that i am new to droids.

Yes it is checked and it is on. Do i have to put all those files on my sd card also? I just dont know what to do first do i run the app on the phnoe or on my pc i am lost
[EVO 4G Android Development] crash383:
Ok. I want to clear up some confusion on my part.

Presently I am on an unupdated phone. I use Unrevoked only for tethering. Should I accept the update and then use this method? Will the procedure give me the benefits of the updates minus the updated radios or will this merely bring me back to where I am at now? If I do the procedure will I have to update the radios seperately?

I hope my questions fall under the "there are no stupid questions" rule.

This is for simpleroot... if youre working on that rom, post over there... everything needed is contained IN the directions... read them, then read them again
[EVO 4G Android Development] kennyc1:
Just follow the direction and upgrade to 1.47. Then download whatever custom rom you want and install the same way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Maikock:
i have software number -1.47.651.1 | but a baseband - 1.36.00.04.02...its the software number right? if thats the case, i do have the 1.47.

and yea i got that app from the market.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
Ok, thats fine... I assume you rooted with simpleroot, then went to 1.47 right? Did you flash the SECOND file on the first post? This will give you the root back, as well as the superusers app.

When you installed the app, the superusers app should have asked you for premission to run it... did it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Maikock:
i used the simple root 1.47 edition. but i barely did it today and it said to apply the patch if i installed it before yesterday so i dont think i needed to do the patch.

ya it asked for su and i allowed it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodsville:
OK i just wana say thax to you all now im on the vercion 1.17 SO this WORKS 150% thax to the developers and you guys for been so friendly now ill read and read so i can understand how i can install the wifi tether and other roms ( roms are vercions right like 1.47 ?)
[EVO 4G Android Development] kennyc1:
Interesting.. I have baseband 2.x after I upgraded to 1.47
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
Nah bruh, were talking about 2 different things... This simpleroot is FOR people who had the 1.47 build OTA...

After the root, it puts build 1.17 on the phone. From here, you MUST flash a custom rom (fresh, damage, 1.47 rooted etc) and upgrade. Wireless tether will not work on 1.17.

Go to the phone, hit MENU, SETTINGS, ABOUT PHONE, and SOFTWARE INFORMATION... you see under build 1.47.651.1? or 1.17........
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
I too have 2.05xxxxx... thats why im thinkin hes still on 1.17
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Is this "patch" you all are talking about is it the "su-2.1-e-unsecure-signed.zip"?

I'm new to all this so just want to be sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Maikock:
ya youre right, sorry i totally forgot that flashed a stock 1.47 rom, its 1.47
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
Thats the file to install after flashing the 1.47 build. Reason being you will LOSE the root when you install the rom, however that su-2.1 file gives you root access back, as well as the superusers application
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
Ok, did you also flash the su-2.1 file listed on the page?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vballboarder:
I've got witlocks 1.47 rooted rom with wireless tether also. my laptop and desktop can connect through my tether, but it doesn't even show up as a network on my wife's palm pre.

Possibly changing channels in the settings would work, or the channels that your droid is looking for networks. I haven't spent any time trying to figure out why that is, but when I get to that point, changing the channels is the first thing I'll try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
After I get root back will the nand still be unlocked or is that what the superusers application is?
[EVO 4G Android Development] simoncinis:
SIGH ...........................

Finally after 3 attempts and about 6 hours I have ROOT Privilages back.

Suprised i didnt just smash everything.

I read through this topic a zillian times.

I think the main thing was to start over from the beginning, and follow the directions exactlly as written, and at step 3 - CLOSE the window, DO NOT hit any key. I am pretty sure thats what got me over the top on this.

For anyone having trouble, just keep trying. It will work.

As foreveryone who developed and contributed to this - - - Great Work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
Yes it will still be unlocked. Superusers app gets installed where all your other little app icons are
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
Lol, now make a nandroid backup!
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Thank you for clearing that up. I feel like I'm finally ready to do all this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vballboarder:
yes and no. 1.47 by itself is an update from sprint. There is a rom that is based on the 1.47 update. whitlock has one and caulkin has one. So, you can have a completely stock 1.47 updated phone exactly like it comes ota, but with root permissions.

Or, you can flash a custom rom, like fresh, evolution, damagecontrol, baked snack, etc, etc.

Go here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=709267

and click on the google cache link under the big green HTC evo roms.

That links to the developers thread talking about each one, how to install, certain perks and certain things that don't work on each of them.

Once you've installed either the 1.47 rooted rom or any other, go to the market and download "wireless tether for root users" and you'll be good to go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Maikock:
i had actually been using this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=712695 should i switch to the one you posted the link for?

1 thing i dunt understand its the nand flash to get back to stock thing you guys talk about were i can find the info for dose steps
[EVO 4G Android Development] vballboarder:
Yes, follow those steps from the NOTE: all the way through step 18 and you'll be set.

what exactly are you asking in the your last sentence? are you talking about back to stock as in a rooted version of the stock 1.47 update? If so, it's the thread you just posted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Benzzo:
Actually everything worked out perfectly after i restarted the process over again. One thing i forgot to do the first time was to refresh the page of the flash site when i was asked. Not sure if this was the cause but everything works fine now... Thx for all the help folks....
[EVO 4G Android Development] vballboarder:
No, that one should be just fine.

The only difference is that this one is de-odexed. The other one (whitslacks) is not de-odexed.

If you don't know the difference, join the club...haha...neither do I. Actually, what I understand from it is that de-odexed files can be manipulated, while odexed cannot. So, I think caulkins 1.47, the one you have is capable of a little more modification.

I don't fully understand it nor what can be manipulated, nor how, so I'll stick with whitslacks for now. If you don't have any problems with the one you did, don't worry about it. You're good to go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
If you have it installed already youre fine... :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] vballboarder:
lol, if you have it installed, keep it. If you haven't done it yet, do whitslacks, here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
deodexed makes apks "portable" but takes up more space and is needed if you want skins.

odexed has a quicker first boot but skins cannot be applied.

Quoted from Damagecontrol first post... was news to me as well
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
Very easy, when you boot, you will boot into recovery... you then have the option of "backup/restore"

Create a backup when things are running good, if &#@ hits the fan with your phone, "restore" it the same way you backed it up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodsville:
ok guys friends if i can call you all :) i have been reading and full of excitement

this is the part i dont understand can any of you point me in the direction

do a nandroid back up so you can always come back to a rooted stock rom, and THEN, start looking at custom roms... Just a little advice :)

( DO NOT GO TO SLEEP OR OFF LINE :D) im reading alot about roms :o what you guys use?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodsville:
THANX alot man :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
lol, to do a nand back up... boot into recovery (with phone OFF, press and hold volume down, with the PWR button) until the white screen comes on

Select "recovery"

Select "restore/backup"

Follow on screen instructions to perform a "backup" should only take about 30 seconds... then reboot normally

If you have to restore, again, boot into recovery... and select "restore"

Im boring, I use a stock rooted 1.47 build... Im waiting for Froyo to come out, for it to be rooted, and do an install of that
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodsville:
2 questions heeee im still waiting i hit the recovery on the phone and its has a small evo with a red exclamation ( its doing nothing) :rolleyes:

what now do i take the battery out?

and the other question is what rom you use?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sopel10:
ok, just finished rooting my brother's evo. everything worked great, flashed with bakedsnack v9.6 and 4G is gone, not sure if the rom did it or the root, but somewhere in between i lost 4g.

my phone lost 4G also, did everything i was able to find here and still no go, including unrooting, re-rooting back to stock, and doing many things over and over, gave up and going to get a new phone

now, i don't want to make same mistakes with his phone, what would be the easiest fix for his 4? i updated profile/prl already, baseband is old, 1.36 or something like that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Okay, I was helped earlier on a question but have a couple more. Sorry, I just want to be safe before I proceed!!!

I can do toasts guide for steps 1 and 2 and nothing major will have changed except having root and nand access, right?

Meaning if I do those steps I then do a nand backup and can boot into my regular 1.32.651.1 version and get like titanium backup and/or wifi tether(although it may not work just using an example)?

Then once I have all my apps/nand backed up then I can proceed to do the rooted stock 1.47?

Thanks for your time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
You should flash a different recovery... I believe the simpleroot flashes clockwork... which Ive read many people have issues with.

You should flash this recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026

Do you have adb shell? I can tell you how to do it if you do

Pull it or, I think you can press volume up/volume down together to get it to reset... I dont remember...
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
Better safe than sorry.

Toasts1, 2, will give you root, and nand access yes.

If you use toasts1, 2, to root a 1.32 build, yes, youll have a rooted 1.32 build and yes, you can get those listed apps you want

If you want the 1.47 rooted build, do that before downloading apps. In the even you have to reroot or reinstall etc... you'll lose the apps regardless, might as well get rooted before the download ya know?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ghirsch:
Just wanted to reiterate what a few other people in this thread have said. This does work with the 1.47 OTA update but its VERY picky. After a good number of hours today this program finally did work. I was able to get it to work by following the directions that one other person left here. I had to do the following. I took out my 32GB card and put in my original 8GB. I ran each of the 4 steps and did not touch the mouse or hit a key after pressing each button. I left all windows open after doing each step as someone suggested. After I got it rooted I flashed it with EVO_1.47.651.1_De-odex'd_Rooted.zip. Then I did the Radio_2.05.00.06.10 update and then flashed with DamageControl 3.2.3 using ClockWorkMod Recovery. My EVO is now running lightning fast and Im finally totally content with my phone. Hope this helps someone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Thanks again for clearing that up. Too bad you can't give "rep" to people on here because you have been answering questions left and right.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
All good mang, if you go to the 1.47 build, just read the thread pretty good, theres a little snag or 2 people have run into along the way, you can navigate around it if you know it before hand
[EVO 4G Android Development] kdog1234:
it wont recognize my device, do u no any wat to fix it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
If you are stuck scanning for 4g:

go into

adb shell

ls /data/misc/wimax/

look for a file with your macaddress ending in .tree.xml. we want to move that to another location so it gets regenerated.

mv /data/misc/wimax/macaddress.tree.xml /data/misc/wimax/macaddress.tree.xml.orig

Then reboot and retry 4g, the xml file should be regenerated and 4g (hopefully) should work
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Can I get a heads up on this "snag or two"?
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
Has to do with the recovery in the pc36img file. If you get a good recovery installed (highly recommend Amon's RA) the pc36img will attempt to "update" this recovery file, but will fail, and you will be left with no recovery.

With no recovery, youre left with an unrooted stock 1.47 build rom... and no way to flash the second SU-2.1 file, leaving you with the only option of rerooting, and re flashing.

Fix was to pull the "recovery.img" file from the pc36img file, THEN flash it from the phone, that way, your recovery is left untouched, and intact...
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
what? Please be as descriptive as possible when having an issue.

Is your USB debugging enabled? Do you have the correct drivers installed on your computer for the phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
So, the pc36img from whitslack post with amon's ra recovery already installed has a fair chance of screwing up? What are the odd's of it not working like 50% or we talking like 15%.

Would it just be safer to pull the recovery.img file and flashing it from the phone to be safe or is that hard to do? If so, is there a guide?

Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
Do you have amon's recovery installed now? If you do, you can pull the "recovery.img" file from the pc36img and flash it without worry.

Id say the chances of it screwing up are like 90% if you dont. If you have amons recovery installed, there is no reason to keep the recovery.img file in the pc36img

Its not hard, open the pc36img file with something like winrar, delete the file, and have winrar "zip" it back up... No real guide or difficulty to it, just remove the file from the zip and flash.

Then, you have the recovery to boot to, to flash the su-2.1 file, which gives you the root back on the 1.47 build, and the superusers app
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bloodsville:
IM DONE

thanx to all for your help GL to to others

MY EVO ITS ROOTED AGAIN!

from now on ILL HELP OTHERS
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
No, I haven't done anything yet. Still gathering all the information before I do.

EDIT: So in toasts guide step 2 when you flash the recovery.img...can I can just use amon's ra recovery.img?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sopel10:
this does not work(at least for me), did not work on my first phone, and it again doesn't work on my brother's phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
Without a recovery you WILL NOT be able to get a rooted 1.47 brother... you must have a recovery installed to boot to while youre flashing the new rom and su-2.1

Essentially, you will have a stock, non rooted 1.47 build

edit: actually you cant flash anything without a recovery... think of it as another partition for your phone to go to, while flashing. Think of it as a boot disk or something... like, you cant sit in windows, and reinstall a new version of windows :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:

[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
you have .net 4.0 framework installed? google it if you dont and install
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Hey evohnoo,

If I follow toasts guide for step 2 can I just use amon's ra 'recovery.img' file? Will this make it permanent then or not?
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
Yes, I highly recommend you use amon's via toasts part 2, then you'll have a solid recovery to boot into for flashing
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
And just to be safe I can copy it from whitslack pc36img and then delete it and re-zip?
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohnoo:
http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-evo-v1.7.0.1.img

flash that file from adb

the file that you remove from the pc36img you can just trash
