Thank you. Installed and working. This is exactly what I want for now. I've been perusing the custom ROMs over the past few days and trying to decide whether it is worth the installation when Froyo will roll out in a few months. Granted there is a Froyo-based ROM or 2 already out there, but complete device functionality is not at hand as of yet. I just wanted a rooted 1.47 ROM so I can tether....for now. I'm sure there will be builds for the 1.47 eventually, and by that time I can determine what will be the best course of action.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenags:
I have a dumb question. I want to do a back up before running SimpleRoot.. But it seems as if all the back up options require root. So how would you do a back up?
[EVO 4G Android Development] thisispatrick:
I got a question as well. I have used this method and followed everything in the video step by step. Then when I go ROM manager to install a ROM it tells me that An error occured because I don't have some permission. Why do I run into this problem?

Then when I try to do it the old fashion way by just using recovery, it takes me the red exlamation mark screen and it just stays there. Anyone know why this is happenening? I thought this was a full root?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrc1330:
GOD DAMN GOOD JOB!!!!

Worked flawlessly... a little confusing when i visited that little link and i get a little red game thought...

What custom ROM do i use after simpleroot???
[EVO 4G Android Development] dminor03:
Followed exactly what you did here after having the same problems and it worked perfectly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
I am already rooted with nand unlocked but i dont have the OTA 1.47.651.1. Can i just run this over my existing or do i need to whipe with RUU and then run this program?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Eurasian Lynx:
oops, never mind.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Eurasian Lynx:
No need for the 'no homo', bro.
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
You can update over it. It would be just like updating from sprint.

Since you are already have root/nand access follow the guide below and update to the new stock root rom 1.47.

The guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915

As I mentioned earlier in a post...when it says to rename the file just rename it to PC36IMG ...leave the .zip off otherwise the sd card won't read it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
I ran the program and after step 1 im stuck on a boot loop. Can anyone help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Wait, did you run this program? I meant it was safe to update over your current rom to the new stock rooted rom. I didn't mean to run this program. Sorry, should have worded it better.

Does your phone still start up normally?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
No it kept doing a boot loop but i was able to get back into recovery and do a nandroid restore. Glad i backed it up before running the program.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
A while back i tried doing the "how to start over" that you suggested and i really screwed up my evo. I had just woke up and i wasnt paying attn. I ended up getting a new evo. Im not sure but does that work with clockwork recovery? i Dont believe it does and i think thats what srewed me up.

Wifi Tether not working after FOTA update :(

I purchased the HTC EVO when it came out and I Rooted it and installed Wifi Tether and it worked great for a few weeks.

I used this method: youtube.com/watch?v=oZ0bNEtqMKQ

Yesterday I accepted the FOTA update on the HTC EVO and baaam!

I can't use the Wifi Tether no more ! :(:(:(:(:(

Anyone knows a quick fix for this or do I have to follow the 20 min video for this SimpleRoot OTA 1.47.651.1 Edition ?

Please keep it short & simple and use plain english for technology challenged people like us.... :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Okay, I'm kind of lost as to what you have and what you want to do...

First, your phone currently works with no problems, right?

Second, you do have root/nand access for sure? What guide did you follow?

Third, you are wanting the latest 1.47 update over your current software version, right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
As of now this is the only way to downgrade.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimmyeason:
ok got a ?. When i hit the power button to unlock it the screen goes blank for a second then back to normal any idea how to fix this and also when go in to recovery mode it scans for zips, and the PC36IMG keeps poping up and it asks me if i want to update, said no is this suppose to happen. So when i put a rom on sd card will it give me the option to chose. and one other thing how do i get to the menu to do a nand back up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] flip603:
So is this program all inclusive for rooting the evo. Or afterwards are you required to follow the steps in the 'How to....' thread also?
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
All this program will do is give you root and nand unlocked. The current OTA from sprint is 1.47 this program downgrades you to 1.17. You'll have to follow the guide below(probably the one you mentioned) to get the latest stock root rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915

EDIT: IMO, I think it is best to do the stock root rom for now as the custom roms are based off the 1.32 OTA from sprint and they will probably be releasing their updates very soon.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xadaniman:
cannot write scdard

im stuck on step 1

ive done the preliminary steps including the .net and im thinking its because it wont connect to htc sync. im using win vista
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
It keeps scanning the PC36IMG because you need to either delete it off the sd card or rename it.

You need a recovery before you can flash a rom or do a nand backup. I use amon ra.

Where exactly are you right now with rooting? What have you done so far?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimmyeason:
i did the simple root for ota. so im fully rooted
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Yes, but this program downgrades you to the 1.17 rom. You can either update to the latest stock root rom 1.47(guide below) or flash a custom rom.

As of now I believe it is best to flash the stock root rom then wait for the devs to update their roms(hopefully this week) as their current roms are based off the 1.32.

The guide - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915

PS: If you still have the PC36IMG on your SD card, delete it off. You don't need it. When you download the new one from the above link and it asks you to rename it...rename it to PC36IMG leave the .zip off. Otherwise it won't read it correctly.

If you have any questions just ask.
[EVO 4G Android Development] itztuna:
i followed the instructions and on step 4 its stay there for like 30 mins and did exactly nothing just says starting part 2... can some one help me
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimmyeason:
ok ? for you what recovery image should i use and do i just load up the simpleroot program and hit flash recovery right, I like flips rom for the hero so. what recovery image would you recommend. One other thing do i need rom manager installed
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Sounds like amon ra is the best to use. With simple root you can flash a recovery. I believe you just hit extras at the top choose amon ra and hit reboot phone.

To test it out after you do that...power off the phone. Hold the volume down button while pressing the power button. When the phone starts to turn on let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button. This is the bootloader screen...hit volume down to select recovery if it goes to a black screen with I believe a red exclamation point then no it didn't work.

Here I would advise to do a nand backup and the google propietory(or however the hell you spell it) backup as well to be safe before flashing any custom or stock root rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimmyeason:
ok one more thing and i got this i notice some roms required the newest radio and build and some dont is there any way to get the build i now flips has the radio on his page.
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Okay, are you wanting to get the latest 1.47 then? If you are gonna go that path first then don't worry about flashing the recovery right now. Let me know before we proceed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] whoisjlk:
Ok...first thanks to the developer squad for the simple root program...I'm wondering if nand is unlocked with this root method. I currently have the stock rom installed but when I use root explorer and navigate to system/app and try to delete apk's I get the message file_name.apk cannot be deleted because the file system is a read-only.

What am I doing wrong here ? Any ideas ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Go back a couple pages and read though them. I explain what this program does and how to fix it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
Yup. phone works with no problems. I do have root and nand thru the first simple root method. I just want 1.47.
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Good. Good. Do you know what recovery you have installed now?

This guide will give a stock root rom. - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915

After you download the new file just rename it to PC36IMG not PC36IMG.zip. It won't read it with the .zip added on. And leave the other file(su-2.1-e one) as it is...don't change it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Okay, when I first rooted my phone someone mentioned that flashing the new stock root rom would mess up recoveries or something because it already has amon ra recovery built in. I've yet to hear any problems so this is just a warning.

If you want to proceed without fear go ahead and follow that guide above.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
Yeah the first time I ran I with my first evo while it was going thru the PC36IMG in the bootloader, when it got to the recovery part it popped up a fail and went crazy from there. I ended up with a phone that was not stock but not rooted either. I'm running all the same stuff right now that I was then. Maybe I should just RUU and then run this program. Is that my safest bet?
[EVO 4G Android Development] slunked:
Worked!

Been messing with this for a day and this was the solution to my troubles.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

We are rooted and ready to roll baby!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimmyeason:
yes im wanting to get the lastest, and hopefully run custom roms
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Yeah, because you can do the OTA from sprint since you are on the 1.32, right? Might be the safest bet since you already bricked one might be hard explaining to Sprint another one is magically doing the same thing lol.

But then again it is your call. If you want to take the time and have patience for maybe more headaches with this program go ahead and do the OTA or RUU. If you want to risk it again follow that guide.

EDIT: Oh wait forgot you can delete amon ra from the new PC36IMG and keep clockwork recovery...I believe...I think you can. Let me know what you want to do.

EDIT2: I mean you can delete it from the PC36IMG that is what I did but I had flashed it manually...I didn't use clockwork.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimmyeason:
yes and run custom roms hopefully
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rocklee99:
does this downgrade you to the 1.3 baseband thing? or are you still 1.47.651.1 with simple root?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
Its really not too big of a deal. There really is no need for me to even do it at all but for some reason i just love playing with my phone. Im just going to RUU and start fresh. Thank you for your help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
ok so i did RUU and then got to step 4 On this program but nothing is happening. It just says starting part 2 but it doesnt go anywhere from there. I did check the sd card and the PC36IMG is there. help?

You can restart part 4, it should reboot again and work next time
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
What software version do you have?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
i restarted it about 5 times. is it just doing the pc36img? Cause i can do that on my own.
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
This downgrades you to the 1.17 rom. You need to follow the guide below to update to the latest stock root rom.

***When it says to change name to PC36IMG.zip leave the .zip off. It won't read it with the .zip on but leave the other file you download(su-2.1-e one) alone...don't change it.

I have no clue but I'd keep restarting it to be safe.

Software Number - 1.47.651.1

The system/app is mounted r/w

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Okay, went back to your earlier post and re-read it. You mentioned you was stock rom? Do you mean you haven't done any rooting at all, yet?
[EVO 4G Android Development] whoisjlk:
Yes I have done the simple root for the new updated OTA. Then added the stock rooted rom for 1.47. Since there are no new roms available for the updated OTA, I was just wanting to delete the sprint apps on my own with having a rom do it for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lambospeed:
Thanks a lot for your answer!

How can I downgrade to get the Wireless Tether to work again ?

Is there a guide somewhere to do this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Okay, I wasn't sure. Well, as far as deleting things you should be able to delete things you want from what I have heard. With those steps taken you are rooted with nand unlocked and have superuser permission. I'm not really sure, I haven't gone deleting anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
There are a couple of steps to take first.

First, run this program step-by-step. You can search for a written guide but I'll post a video guide - http://vimeo.com/13222390

After you run this program it will downgrade you to 1.17 rom so now we need to update to the stock root 1.47 rom(link below).

[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
Ok i just restarted the whole parts 1-4 and it worked good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Sweet deal! Now, it should show 1.17 for your software, right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
It does and thank you for saying that. I was getting scared. I thought it was supposed to say 1.47651.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Haha. Now, just look back at some of my posts where I mention updating to the latest stock root 1.47 rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
HUH!?!?! you mean im not done? Well i just need a rom right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Lol, no. I tried telling you before you started all this but don't worry this part is fairly easy.

EDIT: I mean no as in no you aren't done. Yes, you need a rom. IMO, it is best to update to the stock root 1.47 then if you want flash a custom one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jwwolfe77:
lol well thats what i thought i was doing with this

SIMPLE ROOT OTA 1.47.651.1

Name the new file you downloaded above to PC36IMG place on SD card...get to bootloader (power off phone. hold volume down button then press the power button when the phone turns on let go of power button but continue to hold volume down button)

Here it will scan the PC36IMG when it is done reboot. After reboot delete the PC36IMG file from SD card and place the su-2.1-e one on the SD card and reboot.

Same thing to get to bootloader but this time go to recovery and select flash zip from sd card.
