I was able to run the root process successfully. However:

1.	I am not sure if I am rooted.

2.	My 4g will not start up

3.	when I try to run the Android Wif Tethering app, it tells me that: "your phone is currently in an unknown state - try to reboot"

any ideas?

I got that message. So I rebooted.. And it doesnt give me that anymore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] car_lost:
For the record, when I got into the bootloader and the update was gonna start, the PC36IMG.zip had NOT been pushed to my sdcard in step 1. I was able to put that file in manually though and continue. That was the only issue I had and everything went smooth after that. I am now running the Baked Snack ROM.

Thanks for the SimpleRoot!
[EVO 4G Android Development] danootz:
at what point did you manually transfer PC36IMG.zip to your sdcard? Was it the root of the sdcard?

Hi Guys,

I have an evo with 2.1 and 1.47.651.1 - just picked it up.. I'd like to root it and put fresh 3.1.0.1 on it so I can use the wireless tether..

This is my first time working with android and custom roms, so I'd appreciate a few clarifications..

1. I can use this simpleroot to root it, correct? I guess my question lies on step 2 and beyond.. I'm not sure if it would ask me which ROM to use and then I'd select the fresh that I downloaded, or what?

Thanks so much..

(sorry about another post it wouldnt let me edit the first one as i am new)

hmm the update completed and the phone rebooted and now it's stuck at a htc quietly brilliant screen.. it looks like the OS is running - nevermind..

i should be rooted now but im not i dont think.. few things have said i dont have right privledges. how do I get fresh on here and make sure i'm root? don't i need to pick a recovery first (or is that what loaded lol)? any help is appreciated thanks

Is anybody else getting a zip error when trying to unzip? Downloaded multiple times and getting same results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] creon100:
This is becoming exceedingly frustrating. I can't seem to use this because of a .NET error. The actual program itself starts up fine, but when I try to check for updates I get a .NET initialization error that reads, "Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application." It throws this when I confirm the wyUpdate.exe to run.

Why can't this update just be rolled into the download itself?

Does anyone know what I can do to get this to update so I can use it? (And people ask why I hate .NET).
[EVO 4G Android Development] teedo757:
Finally fixed my main version is older problem. Changed to one.bat file from:

adb shell "/data/local/rights/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

to

adb shell "/data/local/rights/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img"

I also transfered to files to my sdcard because I was getting error writing misc. This seemed to fix the issue for me.

How to root 2.2 Froyo

If anyone has gotten their Evo's with a 2.2 froyo already installed and would like to root there phone well there is a quick fix which I don't know why nobody has posted or said anything about it.

Simply just download the RUU_SUPERSONIC_1.47.651.1 Flasher to downgrade your current rom to 2.1 (1.47.651.1 Version)

Then use Unrevoked for quick root and/or use Simpleroot for Full root access and unlock Nand which a lot of roms require now.

This is actually the link to all the stock Shipped Roms Unrooted.

Downgrade Does not work on Android 2.2

I've tried this before and I kept getting USB Error 171 during the process. after the phone reboots, I see a "htc" logo and after about a minute I get a USB Error.

This process of downgrading the ROM does not work on the Evo after it has been updated to 2.2 OTA.

If anyone gets it to work, I would be interested in knowing how they did it. I like a few others here have gotten our phone with 2.2 already installed. I am looking for a way to root my phone, If anyone knows of any way to do this, please feel free to PM me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rattor:
Does rooting with this method create the Nand backup, and which method is used? Is clockwork used, or amon ra?

EDIT: Reason I ask is because if I screw something up, will the root process create a backup that I can go back to with no problems?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jim M:
It will unlock nand, you have to make your own back up from recovery.

You can use clockwork or RA from ROM Manager.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rattor:
Those options are built in, or do I have to manually install them?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jim M:
Download ROM manager from the market, then use it to make a nandroid of your just rooted system, this will give you a good starting point to go back to anytime.

i know i am rooted because i can go into clockwork recovery and also when ever i boot up i get a custom boot loader

any help please

[EVO 4G Android Development] Evo_Ace:
Hey that happen to me before as well, some custom-ed roms doesn't support certain features in rom manager, to know for sure in Rom Manager Select Check For Rom Updates options,

If is says The rom you are using does not support OTA Updates then Rom Manager is useless.( Most Froyo Roms Support Rom Manager)

Bootloader version you got is only for the Custom-ed Very First Supersonic Rom that you just install which was in PC36img. From this point on go head and download a Rom of your choice many has Modified. I'll provide a link to all the Stable Rom's

Also if you really want to backup everything just do it straight from Clockwork Recovery under nandroid options then backup or restore.

Here is a list of 49 Custom-ed Rom's They are all Good

Hello & greetings to the community....

Apologies but I'm learning on here..and had a few questions in regards to rooting the evo...

Can one go back to default factory settings once they have rooted their evo?

If so please point me in the right direction of the how to guides or docs (on rooting the evo) please.. Also What particular name of s/w do you all recommend to use in backing up your evo device

Also, once rooted, can one perform all system updates via sprint and not mess up the phone? or would one have to re-root?

Would appreciate all and any quality advice from you all..Thanks & cheers!

What do I do from here? TIA
[EVO 4G Android Development] Igotsanevo4g:
I rooted using the downgrade and simple root (3-click not this 2 click update) and it was all good and kosher.

I unrooted to swap evo's and i downgraded, and got this new version which is not working.

It pushes the files and what not, but it says that main version is older or something along those lines when it loads the P36 file in bootloader, it doesnt let me update it just says reboot or not reboot.

Do you have the older version on a mirror, or is there a way to get this working?

I really dont like unrevoked...

Just kidding, I decided to run it again, and it mysteriously worked this time. Sweeeet.

If you've still got froyo (2.2), with your "noob" status, you'd probably be better off using unrevoked3... it's one click... just follow all instructions to a "t" and you'll be rooted in no time

[EVO 4G Android Development] car_lost:
I don't remember exactly. It was either 3 or 4. It's when you are in the bootloader when it searches for that file to do the update. I just put the phone in disk drive mode, transferred it to the root of the sdcard, turned off the phone, held the volume button down and turned it back on.

[EVO 4G Android Development] danootz:
It would seem like it's simple by looking at the GUI but there other things you need to do in between pressing Step1, Step2, Step3 buttons.

But if you're reading these past few pages, users are experiencing some issues at some steps. Me included.

Definitely set aside at least an hour or more. I'm an hour an 10 minutes in and still trying to successfully pull it off.

EDIT**

And just like that, I finally got it to work. I had installed MS .Net Framework and HTC Sync and never rebooted my computer. After 3 failed attempts at doing the steps I decided to reboot my computer and start again. Maybe that fixed the issue.

EDIT** I've finished it all. Flashed Recovery... did the RA_Recovery. Was that a good choice?

Is there anything else that needs to be done after that?
