Please don't hollar at me for asking the following but I could not find the answer in this thread.

Now I have a rooted 2.1 rom 1.47.651.1 with update 1, I have wireless tether and it works. Now I am not an expert but I was able to do this a month or so ago. Now 2.2 is out. Please instruct me as to how I should install the rooted update. or point me to a link with step by step instructions on what I need to do in the least amount of work.

Thanks in advance:)

Which rooting method did you use?
[EVO 4G Android Development] wase4711:
what works for me sometimes is to take it out, format it in a camera, or another device, then re-insert it..

Of course, make sure you back up the data first to your computer!

16gb sd card not showing up under 2.2 (SOLVED)

OK, so after further investigation, I found the problem. I had a small, 256mb, linux swap partition at the end of my sd card from a previous phone. I found I could manually mount the first (msdos) partition from the terminal, but it would never mount automatically and the sd & phone storage would show "unavailable". After removing this second partition, 2.2 now sees the first one and will mount it normally. Why having a second swap partition on the sd card would prevent the use of the first is beyond me though. 2.1 had no issue with it.

I'm running the latest Sprint EVO Froyo (Android 2.2) OTA.

Can anyone tell me how to root the phone so I can get access to the Froyo Hotspot.

I've downloaded the 3 required files (rom build 3.36.651.6 rooted, radio, and wiman), but need some clear instructions on what to do with the files, etc.

[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
Wasn't tryin to be mean. If you're on 2.2 unrooted ota, there's nothing that can be done with those files, yet. Correct?

NVM that that question had been asked and answered multiple times on the very same page ad nauseum, and the page before that, and the page before that. Hell, I'm a newbie to Android too. But I do suggest to read a little before posting questions. No offense, just a suggestion. I ask my share of questions, too. But I do read first. (This post is not directed at any one person, It's just a suggestion)

There are a lot of incredibly talented Devs here, who do this for free. They do it as a hobby, and share out of courtesy. I just feel the least we can pay is ..attention.

[EVO 4G Android Development] drbadass:
can anyone say if you can go from 1.32 unrooted -> unrevoked 3 directly to this? reason i ask is my radio baseband is still 1.39.00.05.31, and my HBOOT is 79, so I'm a bit concerned about bricking my phone or my wimax going directly that way.

I was thinking of just taking the 1.47 OTA at this point, redoing unrevoked 3, then getting here, as I assume the OTA would give me a newer radio version and then I wouldnt have to worry about breaking my wimax.

Any thoughts?

Sorry if this is dumb but how can I tell if I have Flash 10.1 installed? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
I came from exactly your position. Except for the unrevoked3 part. I was on 1.32 still. Used fastRX8 thread to root (the files you need are in his OP, same as toasts files, I believe, _ will give you 76.2 hboot). FastRX8s instructions require no computer and are super easy. Then I came here for whitslacks files and flashed them.

Not a single hiccup in the process. Worked amazingly easy. First try, every time- if you can follow instructions and suggestions. I was/am total newbie, terrified of bricking. Seems its almost impossible to brick an Android, almost everything can be recovered from, somehow. Good luck.

@stormcell

Go to settings>applications>manage applications. Scroll through all apps. See if you have HTC Flash Lite , or Adobe Flash 10.1

Hope this helps anyone.

EDIT: sorry, wrong thread. Thought this was whitslacks thread. Was trying to help comin from that perspective. My info still may apply or be relevant, though. Sorry. Good luck.

I read Read and read some more = more confused

Hey guys,

First, I'd like to tip my hat to all the helpful effort I see here. Good stuff.

I always try not to bother the hard workers, so I read and read but keep getting more confused. I just got a new HTC EVO 4G.

I looked in the settings - about - software info:

Android Version 2.2

Base Version 2.15.00.07.28

Kernal Ver 2.6.32.15-g746

Build 3.26.651.6

I'd like to "jailbreak" this beast. But I see all these warnings about 2.2, "Run for your Life".

I had a Iphone3Gs, and I thought I was moving up.

Can anyone give a link or a step by step for dummies, lol.

I dont want to screw this up.

Thanks, I'll figure out how to donate while a wait for a response.

[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
As of now there is no "root" for 2.2.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EVOme:
73 pages to finally get an answer...Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
Not at all sure what you're asking. if you're asking this on a thread that now runs as many pages as this and you don't know how to root your device, then did you read the first page and the first post of this thread? it has very clear instructions as to what to do, it has links on how to get to root and how to flash the rooted OTA ROM.

If what you're asking is how do I get a rooted OTA ROM, aren't you asking that in the thread that has instructions and links to the OTA rooted ROM? Have you followed the instructions on the first page and the first post? Before coming to Android with my Evo, I had a TP2 (any crapple product is downgrade, in my opinion, but a rant for another day), and I had no issues following the very simple rooting instructions. Now, I've even moved from this OTA rooted ROM to Fresh which is quite nice as well.

Go back and follow the instructions on the first page. I'm pretty sure if you post AFTER trying to root, that you'll probably get better answers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Droidian22:
LOL 73 pages

I think I've read about 300 pages before I decided to post.

So, a brand new phone 2.2, never been rooted or anything, can't do anything until the geniuses come out with the goodies, right?

Ok, thanks for the help. Keep up the good work.

I don't have a paypal acct. Can I just mail a check somewhere?

This is what keeps getting me confused. This is in the thread for a rooted OTA ROM and yet, I keep seeing that 2.2 can't be rooted.

What's this ROM then? I can boot into recovery and see that I'm rooted. I can run practically anything, get SU access to all parts of the device. What other root do I need exactly then?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bacdoliljo:
These roms are modified in a way that allows you to keep your existing root. If you flash the official un modified 2.2, then there us no way to root your device, yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tokuzumi:
These rooted 2.2 roms are for users who rooted their 2.1 roms. The devs applied the updates to the 2.1 roms, enabling the user to keep their root access. If you downloaded the official Sprint/HTC 2.2 rom, you cannot get root access yet, as an exploit has not been found at this time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vballboarder:
Worked like a charm

Coming from Whitslacks 1.47, rebooted into amonra's recovery, wiped 3 times, flashed rom, worked great.

Rebooted to recovery, flashed radio...no problems

Rebotted to recovery, flashed wimax...no problems

Thanks for all your help.

I haven't had any time with it yet to see if I find issues, but a quick once over looks like everything is there and good. Time to nand backup and try a couple other custom roms.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ag4ve:
Ok, so I understand that I can't go from a stock ota 2.2 to this rooted version. However, can I downgrade to stock 2.1, apply rooted 2.1 and then upgrade to this rooted 2.2? Or, am I still stuck because the 2.2 ota update updated the radios and bootloader as well which an OS downgrade wouldn't undo?

Background - I'm on a stock evo with 2.2 and I'm coming from the iPhone jailbreak scene.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bomix:
Sorry dude, your stuck, This rom is for those who still have 2.1. if your at 2.2 and not rooted your stuck until they find a way. There is no way to go back to 2.1 if your at stock 2.2. pretty much just think of it like the door is closed behind you and there is no key to open it back up, NO rom or recovery or unrevolked update will bring you back to 2.1. Door is shut for now.. sucks.. but just wait a guru will hack that junk.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mitalis:
This ROM seems to be the closest to the official OTA one. My question is, if I were to install this rom (I want to retain my root access) will this allow me to access the market and download any of my DRM protected applications?

I'm currently running ava-froyo v3 and there are quite a few applications that I cannot locate and download on the market as a result...

Thanks in advance,

[EVO 4G Android Development] tokuzumi:
There is yet to be an app that I cannot find in the market. Not saying there aren't any, as there are ~70K apps out there, but this is a signed build, so the market should see this is an official build.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mitalis:
tokuzumi - Thank you... That's what I was looking for... If ROM is signed, I'm assuming that means I should be able to locate those lost apps that aren't appearing in the marketplace for.

If you want, try doing a search for Android Banking, it's an app by Jeff Peiffer, app icon is a blue piggy bank.

I wasn't able to locate that app, or Astro File Manager Pro in the Marketplace with Ava-Froyo v3 installed.

Click here for a guide with all the information you need to flash roms. It applies whether you want to flash this rom or any of the other custom roms. I like Fresh 3.1.0.2 best. The only thing I would ad that the guide doesn't is that when you are going to a different rom than the one you are currently using, where the guide recommends that you wipe cache and dalvik cache, I also do a complete wipe (reset, The first option in the wipe menu above "wipe cache" in Aman-ra recovery, can't remember what it is labeled in Clockwork).

To unlock fps. download one of the kernels from this thread, wipe cache and Dalvik cache and flash the kernel. Flashing the kernel is done last, after you already have your chosen rom running good. Make sure you use the correct kernel for the rom you are using. In the case of the rom in the op of this thread it would be the default or general population one. Their are a few other kernels you could also try, but netarchy's kernels have always worked the best for me.

I always make a nandroid backup before I flash anything new, in case I screw up and have to go back.

Love this rom! Working very slick for me, however, I cannot get Wireless Tether to work properly. It turns on, I can see it with my laptop, but when I try to connect it times out. I've tried going through the troubleshooting steps in their FAQ. It was working well before going to 2.2.

Last night, I went back to 2.1 with RUU and went through Step 1 and 2 of Rooting/Nand Unlock posted by Netarchy and then installed Aman Ra Recovery. I cleared all cache and devlk cache, flash the rom, flashed the radios. I flashed the newest Netarchy kernel netarchy-toastmod-4.1.8-bfs-bfq-signed. Any ideas on what to do next?

Restored apps/data via Titanium.
