You have to download it. Just go to the Market and search "Clockwork" or "Rom Manager" and you will see it. Some ROMs come with the app already installed and some don't. When you open Rom Manager you will see "Flash Alternate Recovery" which is second from the bottom. That will flash the latest version of Amon_Ra which is v1.8.0.

And don't worry about getting confused. It happens to all of us. Just keep reading and keep trying different things. A lot of things (and I wouldn't recommend this to everyone) I learned by just biting the bullet. Make a nandroid back up and go for it. If worse comes to worse I would always just flash the second PC36IMG from this thread to revert back to stock and start from scratch.

Let us know if you have any more questions.
[EVO 4G Android Development] briandap:
Question and sorry for the newbishness, but I rooted back when it came stock with 2.1.

My dad is thinking of getting one so if I follow this and downflash it to 2.1, can I just follow Toasts method from there since it is downgraded? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Ok, no more mediafire, Amon RA zip uploaded to evo4g.me server now :) Enjoy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Technically you should be able to, but I'd recommend following this updated guide.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ncadden:
Oh, wow. This ROM is about to make me feel like a dumbass.

Anybody have any advice, if you were starting w/this ROM from scratch, what downloads you'd start with? Surely I have to have the actual ROM before I can upgrade to these small daily's, right? They're like 4MB. LOL.
[EVO 4G Android Development] whosbiz:
not rooted

I have done everything correctly and it all went well but my phone is still not rooted
[EVO 4G Android Development] EJ25:
Ok guys I was running the stock 1.36 software version with unrevoked 1.1 I did the second half starting with unrevoked 3 and now have 2.2 with almost no issues. WiFi tether says unable to start tethering. I know there is a fix but can't find it using my phone, because for some reason when I try to access certain pages including XDA the browser just closes.(that's my second problem) thanks for any help and for the excellent work done here

Edit. Ok found the pre 8 version and tether is ruining ok. Now need help with the force close issue with the browser. Tried using other browsers and same thing. Pages like jaxed, espn, XDA and other forums will force close with no notification whatsoever. HELP

Sent from my rooted 2.2 evo using the XDA App.
[EVO 4G Android Development] godfirst:
Finally got it rooted, thanks for such hard work on setting up such a process to get those back to root that have already had it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] m4rk0358:
Total noob here who has never rooted. I'm following the process using the 2 youtube videos. I'm at the part where you run the unrevoked3 download and then you're supposed to get the phone into the HBOOT screen by holding the volume down and power button. I can't for the life of me get this screen to show up on the phone. I'm in usb debugging mode and connected to the pc as 'disk drive'. Should I switch to 'charge only' mode? Am I supposed to shut down the phone completely?

EDIT: Never mind. Phone had to be completely shut down. That was not clear in the tutorial.
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Well, if what you're saying is true (you don't have root access) then it's safe to say that everything did NOT go correctly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
Hey regaw, so far the reasons for unsuccessful root with this method seem to be user error, corrupt files, or hardware (sdcards needing to be formatted). You should add this little bit to the op. I really don't see any other reasons beyond the obvious three of why this won't work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Avi15:
Can I root before activating the phone with Sprint?
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
Yes, that's what I did last night :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ceabbott2:
I want to root but....

Hello Everyone,

First please forgive the noobiness. I have had the Evo for two months, first android for me coming from Blackberry. I have the 2.2 OTA and I realize their is a root for this however being scared shatless is there a simpler/easier way to root? I mean should I go through going back to 2.1 and then fresh 3.2 or if I do the unrevoked forever will that give me full root that is permanent? I don't mind paying for intellectual work many of my apps are paid versions because I HIGHLY RESPECT the amount of work the developers put into their projects and I want to support them. That not withstanding is there a simple app that I could purchase that would perform the root for me? I know that I need to understand how root works but with two jobs four kids time is precious. Heck if there is someone near me that I would be willing to walk me through the process I would gladly compensate them for taking the time? Anywho I apologize if I have offended anyone with my noobie question any where near the XDA Developers forum. To all of the actual developers and android gurus... you guys AMAZE me! I am very impressed and in awe of your mad crazy skills/abilities.

Thanks for your time,

Charles Abbott :)

i sware i been at this since yesterday,,,, i cant get the img to flash in bootloader, please help i when threw every step over and over. how i need to do or try?!?!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lovethyEVO:
If you anywhere near sana ntonio i would help you out no problem. I have rooted myself and my wifes evo successfully with this method.

Did you check if the image is not corrupted? That is one of the common reasons for this method not working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Avi15:
Boss, but it does not give me an option to set the pc connection type as disk drive. What'd you do?

EDIT: Nevermind, forgot to transfer sd card, haha,
[EVO 4G Android Development] peegle:
Never mind,i figured it all out!
[EVO 4G Android Development] aph:
You should update this method to use Amon RA 1.8.0 since 1.7.0.2 cannot backup the wimax partition.
[EVO 4G Android Development] my2cents:
I cant seem to get past the unrevoked 3 part. I get to hboot usb and it gets to the point of rebooting. It says "Flashing recovery image. Do not touch your phone!" But then my phone just boots normally.

I tried reinstalling the software, the drivers, and HTC sync. I have also tried 2 usb cables. Any other suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] aph:
I got the 4.6.2.2v26023, but also a bunch of other strange errors:

Open WiMAX partition ........ ERROR
OK
Get HTC WiMAX Tag ........ ERROR
OK
Verify WiMAX Tag (↑j↕¿☻)........ NOT MATCH
PASS
Read WiMAX partition ........ ERROR
OK
Check Firwmare Version (4.6.2.2v26023_) ........ p,☺░¿─
Verify MFG Fireware Key ........ NOT MATCH
[1] Segmentation fault wimax_mtd

Is that normal?

EDIT:

Figured this out, rather than using "adb shell wimax_mtd | more" I did just "adb shell" and then "su" and "wimax_mtd". Everything works fine that way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
It is updated and I made 2 posts about it. I should specify in the guide though. thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] cavediver:
Thanks Regaw for the guide. I'm a brand new newbie to Android and rooting or any other kind of tinkering with a smartphone and I was able to root my EVO yesterday afternoon and get wifi tethering working. I had a few small glitches along the way, but nothing I couldn't figure out (mainly dealing with Hboot). The phone froze a couple of times and wouldn't respond to button presses. Pulling the battery and starting over from the point of the freeze solved the issue. Also, the "Airplane mode" toggle thing in the video threw me off as it's not included in your guide and as I found out, is not necessary as I gained root without doing it.

I do have a question though. I completed the root before you added the latest Amon recovery and was trying to flash it using Android terminal emulator, which according to Amon's guide requires that Flash_image be included in the ROM. I was getting an error "Flash_image not found".

1. Does that mean that Flash_image is not included in the stock 2.2 ROM?

2. If it's not, and it can be added, how do I add it?

I went ahead and re-did part 2 with the new file and got the latest Amon recovery, but I'm asking so I can install any future updates to Amon if and when they come out. Thanks again.
[Vibrant General] skoozi:
Not sure if this is the right section or not, but I felt I would get the best response from this forum.

OK.. so I was running euegene's Vibrant6 ROM, but I was having trouble getting any of the lagfixes to work correctly. So I decided to follow the steps outlined in this post: ((apparently I cannot post links))To flash the stock rom and so on. I had never used odin before, but a quick google search found me some directions and it seemed simple enough. So I try to flash with odin and I kept getting stuck at "File analysis.." After disconnecting my phone and trying to restart it, the phone would just go to the screen with the phone + warning sign + a computer. I was able to get back in to download mode from there. Still could not progress past the file analysis. I tried all of the tips outlined in this thread:((apparently I cannot post links)) and after reading that last post, I was able to uninstall my previously existing drivers from my moto cliq.

Finally, odin progressed passed the file analysis and was flashing the filesystem.rfs file. I had a nice blue progress bar on the downloading screen, I thought everything was going to be fine. Then my phone went to a blank Blue Screen. The progress bar in odin seemed stalled at about 25%. As this was my first time using odin, I had no idea if this was normal. I let it sit this way for a good 10 - 15 min. No change. At this point I started getting concerned and thinking this can't be normal. I gave it a few more minutes and still no change. Odin was still just sitting there, right about 25% on filesystem.rfs and blank blue screen on the phone. So then I unplugged the phone, pulled the battery and put it back in, expecting that phone - error sign - computer screen again and hoping to reboot the pc and try again. No such luck.

Now my phone will do nothing. Plugged in to the pc with odin running no response whatsoever from the phone. Plugged in to the wall, no response. It's like I'm trying to turn it on without the battery in. I fear the worst and I'm 99.9% sure you guys will just confirm this as I can't get in to ANYTHING. What I would really like to know though is where I went wrong. Is it really normal for an Odin flash to take that long and to sit at that point?

EDIT: Quick follow-up question, and this is probably going to sound completely stupid, but I don't really care: is the "internal sd" an actual micro sd card that can be accessed at all, so that I can at least get my pictures/videos and such off of if I have to get a new vibrant?
[Vibrant General] merrifield69:
this should be posted in the q/a section

I'm no expert, and I'm not sure what went wrong, but you can try to unplug phone from the USB charger, unplug the battery, put battery back in, hold volume up + volume down and plug back into usb charger (connected to computer) to see if you get a responce from the phone.
[Vibrant General] skoozi:
Thank you for the quick response. Sorry about the wrong section, wasn't really sure this would fit best. Tried what you said and IT WORKED first try. I'm now in download mode. NOW, I would like to retry the flash with odin, but I also need to know if I'm doing something wrong, or if this was a fluke? Should odin sit at that point (25% flashing filesystem.rfs) for that long with a blue screen on the phone? I was under the impression it should be a pretty fluid and somewhat quick process.
[Vibrant General] cdw9800:
when i flashed using odin i didnt seen any blue screen only the download screen wha are ou trying to flash are you sure its for the vibrant?
[Vibrant General] skoozi:
Yes, I downloaded a rar for stock vibrant, it contains :

s1_odin_20100512.pit which i put in the PIT field, and T959UVJFD.tar, which i put in the PDA field

EDIT: this is from the "odin1.0_T959UVJFD_512.pit_rootupdate.rar" which is linked in a few posts in this forum.
[Vibrant General] rpesigan6:
yeah those are correct. try having re-partition checked because that worked for me. also, make sure you dont have any files on the csc field. are you using the correct drivers on your system??
[Vibrant General] skoozi:
Every time I try it with the re-partition option clicked it seems to hang at this status:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

<ID:0/005> Set PIT file..

<ID:0/005> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!

I am retrying this now, I have a small fraction of the blue progress bar on the "Downloading..." screen on my phone. Neither the device nor odin seem to be doing anything. How long should this normally take?

As far as I know the drivers are correct.. I installed the x64 drivers from the link provided in the informative links sticky in this forum. adb was working fine.. device manager lists the phone as "SAMSUNG USB Composite Device" and Driver details window lists three .sys files w/ version 5.16 built by WinDDK

EDIT: not sure if this helps.. here is screen shot of odin & driver details h**p://i37.tinypic.com/2cn8501.jpg (will not allow me to link or post img)
[Vibrant General] rpesigan6:
ok instead of flashing the s1_odin_20100512.pit in the PIT field, try flashing the other PIT which should be s1_odin_20100513.pit

THAT IS WITH THE 13, NOT THE 12.

you can find the 13.pit in one of the rar files. look deep into the rar files. im pretty sure you will find it
[Vibrant General] skoozi:
Unable to find any such file. After some google'ing, I was able to find an s1_odin20100513.pit from the samsungfirmwareworld i9000 forum. tried that with re-partition still checked. Same result. Tried again with re-partition unchecked, it gets to modem.bin, tries to work and then my phone goes to a blank RED screen.
[Vibrant General] rpesigan6:
a blank red screen? all i can say is possibly try using another windows computer.
[Vibrant General] vibrantFTW:
I had a similiar issue but mine was worse, I unplugged on accident during a kernal transfer. Get into download mode and keep the phone plugged in while you load ODIN. Then reset the phone back into download by removing the battery with it still plugged in. This should allow you to put the stock firmware back on. Use the 512/tar you already have. It is usually almost always an ODIN problem and not a truly bricked phone. I've ****ed my phone up a LOT and always able to revert after messing with ODIN.

Regards,

B
[Vibrant General] skoozi:
I'm trying to do this, but if I open ODIN with the phone already in download mode, ODIN does not see it. Pulling the battery and putting back in (downloading screen still up during this) does not change that. Maybe I misunderstood?

yes, i did.. likely at 4 am i guess.. so far its gotten past the modem.bin which it hasnt done in a couple hours of messing with this.. now its on filesystem.rfs again and stalling again, only now its only at about 10 - 15% as opposed to the 25% i was getting a couple hours ago before it stalled. This is with re-partition unchecked, btw. With it checked, odin still just sits at do not remove target.
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
I had this problem.. what I basically did was:

- Open Odin... add all the PIT and PDA files up (Re-partition UNCHECKED)

- Plug the phone in USB

- When the green battery was on the screen: hold volume buttons (basically.. get into download mode)

- Once in download Odin doesn't detect anything? Unplug USB and replug it back in

- Odin should detect your phone and one of the boxes should be labeled: COM[#]

Any # should be fine as long as you have the proper drivers

Then hit the start button. During this whole process, you should see the Android digging with a blue bar right below it. The screen shouldn't go black, blue, or anything crazy. Just android digging and a blue progress bar.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734475&highlight=Stock Was the thread I used. Download hashtab (google it) and verify that the MD5 checksums are correct, once installed right click the file -> properties -> hashtab and then copy paste the MD5 on that thread an verify that it is correct.

For me the Odin process took less than a minute, the trick for me was to preload everything in Odin before plugging in the phone otherwise it would get stuck.

Personally, I don't think your phone is bricked anyway. Just some technical difficulties with getting Odin to work. The first time around when I was trying out Odin, it was messing up for me. Hope this helps.

Vibrant Drivers: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728929 -- If these aren't the set of drivers you're using, then uninstall yours and install this. This one works with no problems.
[Vibrant General] skoozi:
Was able to try this this morning.. it worked first try. With all the problems I was having, I was dumbfounded with how smooth it went. Don't know what was going on. Thank you all for your help with this
[Vibrant General] M5devil:
Hey guys, I figured I'll post here since I think I bricked my phone.... I was trying to install Eugene's Vibrant6 and I got stuck on the Vibrant Logo with Samsung at the bottom. I tried to reset with both volume buttons and power button and got to grey battery and nothing else... what can I do? Anyone can help me?

Thanks.
[Vibrant General] Kryogeniq:
I fear my problem is worse as i was having the same issue with it loading filesystem.rfs and was stalling so i attempted to restart the process and now all that will display on my phone is an image of a cell phone a computer and a yield sign between. Plz help
[Vibrant General] Master™:
Sounds like you need to upgrade Odin3 1.0 to Odin3 1.7
[Vibrant General] Kryogeniq:
Ok i DL'ed Odin3 1.7 and still the same. The vibrant screen doesn't even come up, just an image of a cell phone and a comuter with a yield sign in between.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Start odin on your pc, remove batt, insert USB, hold down volume buttons and pop in the batt. This always gets me into download.

Might help (Where you plug in the USB cable matters)

I had a very similar issue on my Fascinate (Galaxy S I-500). Turns out the USB cable needed to be plugged into the back of my desktop computer instead on the usb cables up in front.

I was trying to flash a rom using Odin on a Vista machine (in the properties I set Odin to XP service pack 2 compatibility, and made sure that it was not set to run as administrator by unchecking the button on the properties screen). I ran Odin as administration from the right click menu AFTER which I plugged in my USB cable and proceeded to go to Download Mode on my Fascinate (battery pulled out, plugged into USB and then push the volume down button).

When I began to flash my rom, (selected the PDA modem, repartition NOT CHECKED in Odin) it flashed about 75% and just stayed there. After about 15 minutes of waiting I closed Odin then pulled the plug on the usb. When I repeated the process, after clicking start in Odin it would go to about 25% and then a light blue screen would appear on my fascinate. The color was uniform throughout the screen and there was no text (even the download mode indication symbol disappeared). I feared I bricked my phone.

I then thought of changing the USB cable location, from the front of the desktop to the back of the desktop. After that I proceeded exactly as I mentioned in the previous paragraph and it worked fine.

Hope this helps.
