Can anyone confirm that following this guide left your phone in PRI in 1.40 and your correct mac on your wimax, etc?

I want to try it but Ive read so many threads about missing wimax certificates (that cant be recreated) after certain updates to the wimax partition... Can anyone that followed the steps on this specific guide conform that your G4 still works perfectly after getting to 2.2 rooted?

My phone has officially been rooted and bricked...wont turn on anymore...go figure, i guess i wasnt meant to have a rooted phone...i shouldve called roto rooter...
[EVO 4G Android Development] LuCkyCn:
I've actually reformatted my sd card at least 6 times now... :( I may just give up. I can't think of anything :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
in your case and I hesitate to say but it looks like the problem is on the phone side of things...I may be wrong but bad blocks and no room on the device is something out of my league. let me add that it just may be something simple and Dan may have an answer.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LuCkyCn:
Thank you though... I will probably just wait and see if anyone else gets this problem :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jerry1Gman:
What might be helpful to note is the discrepancy between the youtube video and what happens on my cmd window.

Note the 0 bytes when I push files.

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/
887 KB/s (0 bytes in 176199552.193s)

The files still make it to the card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] muzz3256:
Just followed the guide and videos and I'm now running a rooted EVO!!! Thanks sooo much to all those involved. I too am having the VVM problems, but I'll give it until tomorrow to verify that it's not a Sprint problem.

I must have checked the forums a million times since I received my EVO.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Topgun966:
IF YOU WHERE JUST DOWNLOADING THE FILES NOW I am sorry :( I had to restart apache to apply a change to help optimize downloads. I should have warned ahead of time my bad.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
taking into consideration that the file is on the sd card...are you sure the sd card is mounted?

try this just for kicks: adb shell (should give you a # prompt)

mount /sdcard

exit

then retry
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tiffany84:
Hey spamking, what exactly is going on with your phone or what were u trying to do? Because I had an issue where I thought my phone was bricked but all good now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LuCkyCn:
Hey bro! i went with the HBOOT anyways and i was able to downgrade it to 2.1 anyways! :D:D:D

Cheers!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jerry1Gman:
What did you do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] LuCkyCn:
You know how it was giving me the no more room error i mentioned earlier?

Well i just copied and paste both lines and it took me to the Hboot menu lol

After all that, I was about to apply the update and it downgraded me back to 2.1 Update 1 lol I don't know if thats the right one but happy so far lol...

The problem now is that... its no longer detecting my SD card...

Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ep3n3wp:
okay little problem... i was at PART 2 STEP 3...

Step 3: After choosing NO to the reboot, you will see a menu again. Select Bootloader from the menu, then use the Volume Down button to hover over "Recovery" and press Power to click on it.

IOf your phone gets stuck at the White EVO 4G screen, pull your battery, and then power on normally. It should boot straight to recovery.

phone got stuck at the white EVO 4G screen... i pulled my battery and then powered on like normal... BUT it did NOT boot straight to recovery... i booted up like normal...

what do i do now??? i still need to flash 2.2-root.zip from sd card...

can some one google talk? thanks!!!!!

please help!!! so close!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Topgun966:
The first boot always takes a while to come up. You need to give at least 5-10 min before pulling the battery. You might be rooted now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ep3n3wp:
how would i check to see if i am rooted with 2.2-root.zip if i didnt select or flash it?

[EVO 4G Android Development] Ep3n3wp:
okay so pulled battery when it hung at evo white screen powered on(shouldve booted into recovery but instead booted up normal) i never flashed 2.2-root.zip

so to fix my problem....

should i power off phone... then hold volume down and power at same time and get into hboot(white android screen) then go to recovery and:

install zip from sdcard

then:

choose zip from sdcard

(2.2-root.zip)

then:

reboot system now

would that fix my problem?

or what other options do i have?

also before i perform that.. should i mount sd card and remove the PC36IMG? or Leave it on sd card?

so that i dont have to wait for it to select no..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ep3n3wp:
any one? got an idea?
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
if you flashed the 2.2-root.zip you are good to go!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ep3n3wp:
thats the problem i never got to the point to flash the 2.2-root.zip

after i did PC36img it asked if i wanted to reboot i choose no... then went and clicked recovery then the EVO4g white screen came up and just hung there...

i then removed the battery and then turned phone back on hoping it would boot into recovery but it just booted up regular... so there for i never got to install zip from sdcard(2.2-root.zip)

what should i do now?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 4ML:
The video instructions are flawless. Just follow them and you can't go wrong. I got it right the first time. Thank you thank you thank you!

Installing FRESH
[EVO 4G Android Development] lostevonube:
Thanks to all involved in the making of the new root method after the vid I realised where I messed up and I rooted two evo's. I would have never figured it out without some help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lostevonube:
If you go back into the bootloader and do it again it'll work it happened to me on two phones
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ep3n3wp:
thanks will give it a try
[EVO 4G Android Development] lostevonube:
You should remove the pc36 file first its easier and quicker
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ep3n3wp:
yeah that is much better i was thinking goin back in and doing it over but wasnt sure... thanks for reassureance!!! thank you!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ep3n3wp:
can i remove it now that i have everything done and complete?

and again thanks to all who made this possible and all who helped!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] addcook:
To start, I have googled, searched forums (cyanogen, xda, fqa, Q&A,) for a fix to my issue, and I cannot find it. I am resorting to asking for help, always my last option.

ISSUE: (Status-7) ro.bootloader, not allowing me to install a new rom. I have tried multiple cyanogen builds, and a few other roms (baked snack, damaged good)

Backround:

Current rom: the evo-root 2.2 from the file in the original post. (clockworks)

Root method: (from OTA 2.2 official update)-unrevoked3-clockwork recovery, basically, The method from this thread.

I Clear cache's, and format sd card, and still nothing.

I have followed DJr3z's video for installing cyogen aswell.

I have changed recovery's tried Amon_AR, and Clockwork, Along with Rom Manager.

all result in Status-7.

This is the first time I have rooted my Evo. I have never installed a custom rom. So there is a strong chance I am missing a small detail or big detail, either way I suck.

My thoughts: I have read that the Unrevoked is not a true Nand unlock, and that may be causing the issue, however I read of people flashing roms on this thread. When they have used the same root method I have, it makes me think I missed a detail. Please, any help is appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JDPito:
Thank you for all of the work that the developers have put into this!

I successfully got everything working for a rooted 2.2 EVO, the walk through and video is great!

This forum ROCKS!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aestheticxxlove:
I know this may sound stupid but how do I go about doing that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] willy900wonka:
I never needed it before on other evo's. But on one I had to set the evo to HTCsync mode, but no hycsynce ( of course) on the MAC.

The evo spins and says try again but the screen defaluts to syncmode. Maybe it's only a display item, but the sequence worked and I got it to allow a adb shell to "ls /sdcard/" with results. weird.
[EVO 4G Android Development] onelovekir:
yeah that is so funny... last night when i did it on my windows 7 machine to root my wifes evo it showed the correct amount of bytes that were pushed and I rooted no problem with this guide. this morning at work i was doing my evo on a windows xp machine and it showed "0 bytes" just like you but low and behold the files are there and it seems to be working just fine. really really weird...must be something with xp drivers.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Smoke362:
I also ran into a few problems.

1. When time came to delete the PC36IMG.zip, My pc didn't recognize my phone for me to mount the sd card. I am dual booted with Mac and windoze, I booted into Mac OS and mounted the sd card there, deleted the file, and then went back into windoze and picked up where I left off.

2.. I pulled the battery out after being stuck on the white screen and the phone booted normally. What I did to resolve this was. Reboot the phone into hboot, and selected recovery from there and finished the final processes.

I hope this helps someone who runs into these minor problems. Just use the old noggin and don't be afraid to try something sensible that may not be in the guide. These people worked very hard and can't foresee everyone's possible glitches.

You guys here on XDA are the Bomb in my book. Thanks for all the hard work. My Evo iss now 2.2 rooted
[EVO 4G Android Development] i2ichal2d:
I want to thank those that put all the hard work into this. it is really appreciated.

Can someone help me with an issue? After rooting (anron) my phone isnt able to download voice mails to the phone to dtream. I get a Error V03 of some sort. is this a known issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jeepsailor03:
No Image or Wrong Image error

I reformatted with FAT32 and this problem finally was resolved! Whoooooo back to 2.1 and on my way to a rooted phone! Yes!

To reformat, just set the phone to disk drive, then from your computer, right click the Removable Drive, select Format, and set the type to Fat 32. I did a full reformat instead of a quick, not sure if that would make a difference or not.

Thanks to everyone on here for the awesome instructions and help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Topgun966:
Good to hear!!

Bootloader not finding PC36IMG

Is your card SD or SDHC? Look at it. Someone mentioned this and I have tested with another SDHC card I bought because the one that came with my phone apparently is defective and the SDHC card I tested worked. I tried 3 other SD cards and they would not work. This may well be the issue.

[EVO 4G Android Development] smw6180:
Or you can do 'menu' 'settings' 'about phone' 'Software Information' and look at Baseband Version. 2.15.00.07.28 is the latest radio, I believe.

For your wimax radio you can do:

Command prompt:
adb shell wimax_mtd |more

On the first page you'll see:

Check Firwmare Version (4.6.2.2v26023_) ........ 4.6.2.2v26023_

(that's the newest wimax version).
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
I'll update the first post with the solution.

Reboot the phone, and then run the exploit again to gain a root shell, then try flashing again. Detailed in the first post in 1 minute
[EVO 4G Android Development] EyeslikeOlives:
If you're getting the NO SPACE ON DEVICE message, just reboot your phone and run the steps over again. It'll work the second time. I had the same problem and got it resolved thanks to regaw_

Once ready, type these commands in cmd prompt from your adb tools directory.

[EVO 4G Android Development] trim81:
I got clockwork installed via the unrevoked method in post #1

Now I try to flash cyanogen and it gives me a status7 error

anyone have any ideas?

Is this a true nand unlock?
[EVO 4G Android Development] EyeslikeOlives:
Go the the SDK folder and in it they'll be a TOOLS folder as well. Hold shift and right click the TOOLS folder. Select run in window command or w/e. Then start typing those commands
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
yes, I flashed Fresh EVO on my brother's phone right after (because he like Espresso) works fine.. I did however use Amon_RA's recovery image.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EyeslikeOlives:
Try downloading Amon_RA and flash going into Options and Custom Recovery Image. I think there's a comment above this that says where that Option is at.
[EVO 4G Android Development] trim81:
could you please post the step how I can change to Amon_RA ??

is it the same as install zip from card? in recovery>?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lordtigger:
Sighhh frick I think I bricked my phone :(

So I ran the reflash.exe file, phone rebooted, and I got to the bootloader. I tried to Hboot USB but even though I've surely got the evo drivers on my computer since I've been using one for months, it couldn't find the drivers when it tried to boot. I tried to manually find them, tried to get it it to look into the hboot driver files directory that was extracted on my laptop, all with no luck.

So my first question is, what is the name of the driver file so I can search for it?

And my second question is: After all that, I got lost as to where I was in the instructions and I moved on to the next step, which is to go into recovery and flash a zip file. I went into recovery, and when I did I got the screen with the EVO and the red triangle and exclamation point, and now I'm stuck there.

Help :(

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EyeslikeOlives:
I think it's an option in Unrevoked3. Not sure though. Let me finish this and I'll check it out
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
download the recovery image and place it on your sdcard.

open up a command prompt from the tools directory of your android sdk.

type:

adb reboot bootloader

wait for it to reboot to the bootloader

then using the vol up/down navigate to fastboot, and hit the power button.

then type

fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/name_of_recovery.img

where name_of_recovery is the name of the recovery you downloaded.

then a

fastboot reboot

to reboot

then once the rom is loaded, type

adb reboot recovery

and you should be set.
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
you should be fine pulling the battery and rebooting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rsloan:
Select run in window command or w/e. Too vague.
[EVO 4G Android Development] EyeslikeOlives:

Finds PC36IMG but does not prompt to apply it.

Ok so since I have reformatted the sdcard to FAT32 I have gone back through the process exactly and this time it finds the PC36IMG.zip and a blue loading bar appears on the right side. It loads for a few minutes before flashing to another screen with the following.

HBOOT

Checking...

After a few minutes of this if flashes back to the HBOOT screen with all the options (fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, hbbot usb)

I never get prompted to apply the PC36IMG. Any ideas why?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
that is what got me too before i started the rooting process. it looks weird the way its written but really afterwards i saw that it made so much sense.

you have to follow into the red asterisk part and type in the two commands and spam that airplane toggle switch, then thats when it kicks you out of the shell and takes you back to the c:\android\tools
[EVO 4G Android Development] ms79723:
hm...then try selecting your disk drive instead of charge and if it still pops up showing your drive is connected, then switch from disk drive and charge

i mean you can just put it on the sdcard yourself...since that is where its going. but just gotta make sure that you're only pushing to the sdcard at that point, because if you need to do it again and cant...that wont be good

I have debuging checked and charge only Im seitching to a new sd card and reformating now to see if that will change things for me if now I dont know what to do?
