[EVO 4G Android Development] Newbie_from_NJ:
After successfully rooting the phone using OP method, I proceeded to update software & radios thru above link. I follow the instructions to the T. Everything updated accordingly, EXCEPT I no longer have root??

whenever I enter the command "adb shell", I get the normal user prompt "$"

Whenever I enter "su" after that, I get "permission denied"

what happened?

I'm simply going to start over again with the OP rooting method and forget updating with above link... :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] kroked:
file is corrupt

The file linked to from the OP is corrupted.

I was finally able to get this all to work, but what I had to do to accomplish this was lame. I want my money back!:eek:

The simpleroot program didn't work. So I tried out this method. But the file posted is corrupted. So, I took the pc36img.zip from simpleroot and used this method.

Finally success.

But why. Why did I have to futz around like this?

No error checking, thats why. There are no error messages anywhere, so when something goes wrong, you get a silent failure. :mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrumhead:
Pretty new to Android phones. Just got my evo 4g last week and I've been having a lot of fun with it. I went on vacation this week and I wanted to have the wireless tether working so I used unrevoked3 to root it for the use of the tethering app. Now that I'm back however, I want to do more with the phone.

But now that I'm reading around I'm wondering if I should just yet.... I guess the official froyo update is coming on Tuesday (Aug 3rd) and I would certainly like to use it (or a rooted froyo rom).

My first question is, is it necessary for me to factory reset the phone (since I used unrevoked3) to install the official OTA when it becomes available? My second question would be... should I? I see many custom ROMs for 2.2 already out there... I've been looking at CyanogenMod6 specifically and I'm sure that now that I have more time to find the solutions to the problems I was having with SimpleRoot I could get that installed in no time.

My next question is, should I factory reset the phone before I run SimpleRoot or will it not conflict with what unrevoked3 has already done?

And lastly... if I have to factory reset, what kind of setup is required to get the phone back on the sprint network (if any)? Will I have to redo the initial setup call I made to sprint or will that information still be saved on the phone?

To sum up my questions...

1. If I were to want the official 2.2 Froyo update, would a factory reset be necessary since I rooted the phone with unrevoked3?

2. Should I wait for the official 2.2 update? (I've basically already convinced myself not to wait just by writing this post... I've already got the itch to experiment)

3. Should I factory reset the phone before I attempt to SimpleRoot? (Seeing as how I already used unrevoked3 method)

4. If I do factory reset... what kind of setup is required to get my cell back to its ability to receive calls? (if any)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
I would do a reset and use simple root to get fully unlocked. Then flash a rooted Froyo rom like Ava's Froyo. All you'll have to do is login to your Google account and redownload your apps. No additional setup is needed to make calls, texts, etc. Before you reset, try out titanium or my backup. I'm not sure if they require full root or not but if they dont, you can backup all the apps you currently have installed and restore them to the new Rom. Hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shrumhead:
It helps very much, thank you for your fast reply =D I tried out titanium backup but it requires busybox which is telling me it requires nand unlocked... I'm not to worried about it. Like you said I have all my contacts saved via google and the apps can all be re-installed once I have a custom rom I'm comfortable with.

Thanks again =D

I recently flashed LeeDroids rom; everything else runs well besides the Market.

Paid apps sit on "Authorizing purchase..."
