Can we technically do the first/initial RUU and get it back to original stock? :o
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tats_06:
I think we should have a separate thread for the radio, just to keep things organized. ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KGBxxx:
This is spectacular!!!

quick question. I used Titanium to uninstall Flickr and there is still remnance of it (i see it under photos but can't access it). Should I use something else to unistall system apps. How should i go about removing Footprints?

Thanks guys!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] cooksalot:
That's the part that makes me nervous. :o
[Droid Incredible Android Development] zeke1988:
with s-off, i can flash the radio anytime i want with any rom i want? without going back to the unroot stock rom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mahkee:
*228 option 2 works fine for me with radio update.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Sac's Droid:
team unrevoked, thank you so much.

And to those that arent sure, it is painless and takes little to no time. plus it doesnt need a wipe :p

edit: my only problem is I can't get the splash to load...I might be doing something wrong though :S

Guys, thank you so much. This was a breeze to update. I also appreciate your candid warnings about what can happen if you are not careful.

Now that you have S-OFF and full NAND unlock, what's next on your plate? Can you create a teleportation app for my Incredible to get me out of the office? I really would not put anything past your team.

Thanks again!

[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
Thanks unrevoked! I'll be using this for my phone in a few minutes. Been waiting for this for a while!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] obededom:
whoa....just a word of caution, I wouldn't be flashing multiple radio images (like back and forth several times). I would keep radio flashing to a bare minimum (upgrade to new baseband).

I'm not sure if you meant for it to sound like you would be casual about flashing basebands (probably not, I'm just being a safety nazi) but I just wanted to be clear that repeated flashing of that partition isn't advised on any phone.

for instance...I updated baseband's once to the 2.x radio and now I will flash to adrynalyne's posted file but I wouldn't make a habit of flashing radios
[Droid Incredible Android Development] trombone dixie:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] partizan81:
Are there still any lingering concerns that after applying the s-off patch, if we flash a new ROM (like SkyRaider 2.2) that it could potentially cause issues by continuing to write to the "naughty area" and causing USB brick? As I understand it, that was the concern originally, just wondering if that scenario is still possible or if a new method is now being employed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] obededom:
I applied it on skyraider 2.2 w/sense, no problems. They wouldn't have released if it if it was still an issue

[Droid Incredible Android Development] mobilehavoc:

[Droid Incredible Android Development] spotmark:
Yep, just installed the updates, and it worked fine.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] past_pluto:
Just to make this clear we should do the unrevoked forever before a radio flash correct?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
Correct, install unrevoked forever first. This allows us to flash things like this with ease.

-------------------------

This tool will give you permanent nand unlock while booted into the os as well as S-OFF security for the ability to flash unsigned zip's from hboot. With this you can flash any OTA and still be able to recover root by flashing a recovery and a root package. Please read our site for details and instructions and the download!

Target platforms: HTC Evo and HTC Incredible

already fully rooted here.. but this seems interesting. Will have to read more about it... sounds like a winner though.

so you can use this even if you have already done the OTA? I have a friend that accepted it (after i already told him not to) and really wants root now. LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] darkhova:
No you have to be rooted and have a custom recovery to flash the unrevoked Forever

You need the PRI file first!!! And if you have it share it cause everyone is wanting it. Once more people get this on their phone it should be a little while then someone should be able to drop that file so we can all update to the PRI.

Do we have to rename the zip file to "update" before we flash?

You can flash it like normal or if you want change the name to update.zip

I didn't rename...

I didn't change the name to update.zip - left it alone and loaded it from recovery as a unrevoked-forever.zip file...

Was just reading the install instructions and says you can use unrevoked3 to install custom recovery (per their website says v3 works on all supported phones even if not previously rooted), then you should be able to finish the install of unrevoked forever and presumably flash any new rom.... hmmmmmmmmm.. sounds a little too good to be true.. .but who knows??? lol

Yes, how do I know if my nand is unlocked. I thought it was but then I went and checked and when using the stock rooted 2.2 rom from netarchy, I can't create a file in /system. I can connect through adb and remount system as rw, but a reboot just resets it back to read only.

So, I do have SOFF, but it appears not to have given me nand unlocked?

[EVO 4G Android Development] karikian:
I was rooted and applied the update because I was sure I would be able to be rooted after all that I read. I don't get it now... I am honestly lost now... I am not sure what all the buzz really was...:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] kaediil:
The buzz is that with this applied, basically you won't lose root no matter what sprint or htc pushes to you. In fact they can fix this, but it will apparently reset any true engineering phones out there. So, this is effectively a permanent or "forever" unrevoked or unrevokable root.

[EVO 4G Android Development] deathpod:
If you were rooted before, and you were able to successfully apply unrevoked forever, you're still fine. Just flash either the amon-ra or clockworkmod recovery and you can return to business-as-usual, flashing whatever you feel like. It's all outlined here. Read it. Twice. It will be a big help, I promise.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rpearl:

Okay, I've got 2.1 OTA2 and I ran Unrevoked3 and got root and Clockwork Mod. I want to switch to Amon Ra Recovery so I can "properly" install a De-odexed ROM without fearing an incomplete dalvik cache wipe.

2. Do I need to run Unrevoked Forever first? Do I need to run Unrevoked Forever at all?

Noob Needs Explaining

Hey,

I just need a little more help before I start with ur4ever.

I understand the actual installation instructions, but what I am having trouble with is what I do after I install ur4ever and I want to install Froyo.

ur4ever instructions, with my comments in RED:

Install unrevoked forever on your phone.

Download or create an appropriate PB31IMG.ZIP or PC36IMG.ZIP for your phone that contains the original recovery image.

Can someone provide an accurate link for this file?

From the phone operating system, install the over-the-air update.

When the update is done installing, you will probably want to root it with a custom recovery.

Wait, huh? I have to root it now using ClockworkMod recovery for EVO 4G?

Place the appropriate file – with that exact file name! – on the root of your SD card.

Reboot your device into HBOOT by removing the battery, pressing VOLUME DOWN, inserting the battery, and pressing POWER.

When prompted Do you want to start update?, press VOLUME UP for Yes. When prompted again Do you want to reboot device?, press VOLUME UP for Yes.

Your phone now has a custom recovery.

To restore superuser access to your phone, you can apply any appropriate update.zip; such a file can likely be found on the XDA-Developers forums.

What is "an appropraite update.zip" file?? Can someone provide a link to one in a response?

Thank you all so much!

David (in Miami)
[EVO 4G Android Development] rpearl:
The following contains the stock recovery.

http://www.joeyconway.com/evo/stock/OTA_Supersonic_3.26.651.6-1.47.651.1_releasem24cfnusi9dsrr6i.zip NOTE: IT CONTAINS OTHER IMAGES TOO. JUST GRAB THE RECOVERY IMAGE OUT OF HERE. I don't have a link to just the stock recovery at the moment.

Yes, there are links on the website. Run one of the custom recovery images, named PC36IMG.zip, in HBOOT. Then, you will have custom recovery and will be able to install su and Superuser.apk from there.

There is one here: http://www.mediafire.com/?l3cdqos178zgv10

The benefit to unrevoked forever is that, even after you install the stock OTA and lose ENG HBOOT if you had it, you remain S-OFF and can re-root (even though there aren't any 2.2 exploits yet)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Evo_Ace:
Question if you use simpleroot to fully root your EVO Can you use RUU_Supersonice_1.47.6541 back to stock unrooted?
[EVO 4G Android Development] BlueScreenOfTOM:
As a follow up to some of my previous questions, I thought I'd post what I did to get me to 2.2 in hopes that it helps some other people. Note that I DID NOT run Unrevoked Forever! I was on 2.1 OTA 2, rooted via Unrevoked3. I followed the steps here, with a few modifications, to get me to 2.2:

gregledet.net/?p=561

The only thing I did differently was use the De-odexed ROM here:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743781

Everything works fine, including 4G. Just make sure you do a full wipe before you install the new ROM. Yeah, it sucks to have to reinstall everything, but it's not so bad. Also, you can apparently still run Unrevoked Forever if you want, although if you're like me and you just want root so you can tether, it's not necessary.

Thanks to the help from the people here and elsewhere in the forum.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kthejoker20:
I flashed 2.2 RUU.

Did unrevoked forever.

Flashed new recovery, (clock work)

then flashed super user.

Rooted.

Giddie up!

Now I will flash my eng HBOOT and get nand back.

EDIT: Flashed 2nd part of toast, then reflash recovery. Nand unlocked.

Yay! :P
[EVO 4G Android Development] rpearl:
Unrevoked Forever will also unlock NAND, just like the leaked ENG HBOOT.

You only need to flash ENG hboot if you want fastboot extended commands. Even with that, you can strip out everything but the hboot itself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kthejoker20:
Actually, it doesn't fully UNLOCK NAND.

It only allows you flash unsigned files.

So theoretically, when you do the unrevoked, then install a rom, you can't write to nand.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:
After flashing a Stock RUU 2.2, I was able to write to nand after nothing but installing recovery+SU+root explorer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] freeza:

[EVO 4G Android Development] kaediil:
It does unlock nand. I was able to flash several roms that required full unlock. I also could remount system and write files to system in the stock rom.

clockwork

superuser

it all works, wireless tether

for some reason i could not apply the amon-ra patch, it failed where the clockwork succeeded.

very cool stuff.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rpearl:
Yes, it does fully unlock NAND. I should know, I wrote it. :)

You can remount the /system partition as rw while booted and it will allow writes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kthejoker20:
Then why is my S-off and write protected?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mmastrac:
Because you have not remounted /system as r/w.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kthejoker20:
did that denied
[EVO 4G Android Development] rpearl:
You can remount the /system partition as rw while booted and it will allow writes.

To be clear:

You can remount the /system partition as rw while booted and it will allow writes.

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

(mtdblock number may be wrong on the EVO)

Part of S-OFF means that you can unlock NAND and remount the /system partition as rw while booted and it will allow writes.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mmastrac:
You either 1) haven't called su to become root which would allow you to perform said operation or 2) have not rooted your system install.

I believe both of those problems are better solved on the Q&A forum.

3. flash official 2.2 image

i had clockwork from previously rooting with toast however when i attempt to get into recovery now i get a black screen with the image of an evo with a red exclamation in a red triangle.

any idea what i'm doing wrong?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kthejoker20:
Change the clockwork recover to a zip file.

Rename it PC36IMG.zip ( PUT this on your sd card)

Boot with volume down and power, let the program auto load.

(may have to do that twice)

then go to recovery hit power button and you should be in clockwork.
