Should there be an image/file called ClockworkMod Recovery, somewhere? It's at the bottom of the unrevoked window, but I don't recall seeing anything about it in the directions or during the process.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fachadick:
If you're already running a rooted 2.1, then you don't need to do any of this. You can run any rooted 2.2 rom you want already, and have been able to ever since you originally rooted. If you wanted stock, there are rooted stock 2.2 roms in the dev thread...not sure why you would want to run the OTA and start from scratch with a more difficult process.

Confused...:confused:

It seems the majority of people have no idea that there is a Stock RUU here on XDA in the wiki lol!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rugedraw:
If you're on 2.1 and you've been waiting for this, then you've been waiting for absolutely nothing. I've been rooted since early June, but from what I gather what this does is revert the phone back to 2.1 so you can get root. If you do run the OTA and do this, it will leave your phone EXACTLY how it is right now.

Go to Menu > Settings > About phone > Software information. Under software number, check and see if you are on 1.47.xxx or 1.32.xxx and search the board for the root method that works for you.

htc evo root

hey i would like to know I can do this whole root process with windows xp. Im new to this whole root process and in the steps you say to users with windows 7 and window verizon users. Thanks for your time.:)
[EVO 4G Android Development] TeknoJnky:
If your already rooted on 2.1, there was no need to wait at all. You could have flashed the stock rooted 2.2 thats in the developer forum.

absolutely not.

since your already rooted, what you should do is follow the instructions at the unrevoked forever site. This will permanently let you flash any rom or recovery, even if you take an OTA update.

yes that and to anyone who already did the OTA without doing unrevoked forever first.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fachadick:
I know - thankfully all of the new rooters here now know to check the wiki and read through the rom threads to see what makes each one unique, and to search for answers before posting. And they also know that they'll probably get unmercifully flamed bigtime if they do otherwise.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
ah, still didn't work. I didn't uninstall the htc sync last time so I went back and uninstalled it. After uninstalling it, I started all the steps over, even the push commands. Everything was successful again. However, after the blue progress bar completes, no option to accept the update.

it's worse than you think. Dude's already running a rooted 2.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sgallos1:
since this process brings you back to stock 2.1 could one use chris chavez's simple root method from android and me he has the steps on youtube but i figure by the time you revert back to stock 2.1 could you then use his method he shows on youtube? thanks

I just went to go push the files and ADB is no longer recognizing my phone what could be the problem ive tried uninstalling all drivers and reinstall reformatted the phone every thing but still no luck in getting adb to get my device
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
I think typing adb remount will fix this but I'm not 100% sure. I'd wait for someone else to confirm.

just tryed to see if it would connect to HTC sync and no luck either but the phone is charging
[EVO 4G Android Development] fachadick:
To be honest, I've been rooted for a while now, so I've just been dipping in and out of some of these threads to help answer some basic questions. I haven't fully gone through the 2.2 root method, but from what I've seen, I think you should be able to use any of the existing 2.1 root methods once you're down to 2.1.

What I can tell you is that this question has been asked before in this thread. You should really go through the whole thread again, even though thats a pain (or try and search for it) - best advice I can give someone in your situation is to make absolutely sure you know what you're doing (and where you want to end up) BEFORE you start trying to root.

hope that helps

edit:

and there you go!
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
As I said earlier (I think) a video is going to be made tonight and posted in the OP hopefully tonight.
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
If the adb remount doesn't work then it sounds like the problem I was having a few weeks ago.

You can try it and see --- unplug the usb cable, turn off your phone and the PC then try again after both reboot.

so am i done? time to call insurance?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DaveMW:
running into an issue. I'm now back to 2.1 and trying to run Unrevoked3.

It reboots the phone the first time, I scroll down to hboot usb like the instructions say.

yes the driver is installed

The app reports that it: runs the preboot sequence, flips to waiting for reboot...

the phone then boots to OS as normal and nothing happens... thoughts?

edit: i just tried it in another USB port. this time the phone booted into the OS and Unrevoked says Flashing recovery image do not touch your phone...

there's nothing happening though.

EDIT: OK, threw it on the Mac and gave it a shot, worked fine. Not sure what the deal was with windows. I think it takes too long for the OS to recognize the device is attached after the reboot....
[EVO 4G Android Development] churchwin88:
Maybe try pulling out the battery first then trying again??? I don't know...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mizzos4:
Is debug mode on? Sometimes I forget to do that and adb won't run. Hope it's something as simple as that.

Works Perfectly

Just used this guide, no problems at all. I used unrevoked3 to root. The only problem came when i hit a bootloop on Fresh rom. But i fixed that. otherwise, Great guide!
[EVO 4G Android Development] meinstein1987:
Yes i have debug on i dont know i had this problem before with a different phone and went from mine to another computer and it worked sucks but what ever
[EVO 4G Android Development] Daft Punk:
yeah nope.
[EVO 4G Android Development] martyzidek:
Back to 2.1 update1 :) does it matter if we do unrevoked3 or unrevoked forever? What's the difference?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tomh1979:
unrevoked3 is the actual root method, forever helps you to keep root if you were to except another ota from htc or sprint.

cmon guys... quit talking about your trials.. that wont work without some of the things in my guide.. and I said, no more details, please.

It does, but if you have adb set up on the mac, you can basically do all of the commands, minus the changing directories outside of the adb shell. We'll talk about it, pm me your gtalk and I'll give you the source for the guide (ie formatting and the like) and you can edit it for OSX.

Its coming soon :D just got the mirrors set for the files
[EVO 4G Android Development] SanityKills:
Okay, I'm confused.

I have completed the whole process up to the last step where it says:

"fastboot flash recovery /sdcard/recovery.img"

Where do I get the recovery.img?

I went looking for it and ended up downloading eve-recovery.zip and running a .bat file but I still get nothing when selecting VOL+ plus POWER on bootup like I used to.

When I was rooted before 2.2 I think I recall putting a .zip file on my sdcard which, I thought, enabled the clockwork mod to respond to the POWER+VOL and put me into recovery mode but now all that happens is three vibrations. Then I have to take the battery out and power up into the OS.

Please advise.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

This works awesome! just rooted two phones with roms on both, nice!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] grrrrrant:
That's what it will do. Continue with the rest of the commands. I'm now happily rooted thanks to this method! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] suspect32:
any word on a mac guide?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jburg1887:
Thanks. I got scared for a minute.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rebelBodhi:
Great Success!

Awesome... it works!

Followed the instructions, with only a few issues:

1- Make sure you install the modified android usb driver that comes with the unrevoked3 install (see the html file included)

2- After running reflash.exe, and the phone gets back to the bootloader, it won't automatically start the process-- you need to select HBOOT USB (the last option)

After those two realizations, I got it done fine!

Then, for 'noobs'

3- You'll want to flash a ROM, like the one from SteelH, using the same technique used to install the unrevoked-forever image. Follow instructions online, clear user data and cache first (again, using the Recovery tool accessed from the bootloader)

4- Install an app like android-wifi-tether to get the feature we all want. Download the apk file from google code, then install using adb install

And it works beautifully! Awesome work, well done! :D:D:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] djangelic:
Success!!!

Just finished it! I think I will post a video on how to do it, cuz i have camtasia studios, and my buddy wants me to root his... should i?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kmerrick:
Tried this today and got up to the point of accepting the OTA update to 2.2.

It downloads, verifies then goes into the install (recovery mode??) then fails to the White Triangle with Exclamation screen.

Any ideas?

How can I go back to the HTC 2.2 ROM

or

How can I bypass this error?

Any help is much appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] regaw_leinad:
I would like you to pm me a link to the video first, so I can watch it and make sure it fits with the guide, then I'll put it in the OP if it is good :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] SanityKills:
No, I haven't run the OTA as of yet. I wanted to confirm that it wouldn't kill my root before proceeding--that was next on my "To Do" list after resolving the recovery issue.

Here were my steps over the past few weeks.

1. Ran the leaked 2.2 update prematurely.

2. Waited for 2.2 root

3. Followed this guide up to loading the recovery.img.

NEXT

4. Resolve recovery.img issue/get clockwork mod working so I can run backups from my phone.

5. OTA update if confirmed that this is the way to go.

Wow it was all great untill the last few instructions with recovery and fastboot. What in the *%$^ are we supposed to do. Very very confusing. From the recovery, I didn't know what to do with Flash.zip so i just chose Unrevoked-forever.zip then after that i rebooted. Not sure what to do now, fastboot? Very unclear at this point. Am i rooted now? Can I OTA update into 2.2 and remain rooted?

[EVO 4G Android Development] jdr6382:
still almost...

well now I have tried two different evos, both on OTA 2.2.

all steps and commands are completed flawlessly.

I've read those directions so many times its almost committed to memory.

I do not miss a single step and I have not received one error.

all commands are successful, phone reboots, enters Hboot, finds PC36IMG, blue status bar completes, but no option to accept the update.

It is the exact same results when I tried on a completely different evo.

Even tried a different PC36IMG on both and still got nothing after the blue status bar completes.

ah, frustrating.

what do you think it could possibly be?

is there any 2.2 releases that this may not work on or something?

Im running out of options, been at it for hours as you see
