try this if getting the red trangle

Ok so if u have got the radio failed pu you dont have a rom anymore so you need to do this

open my computer go to c drive go to user go to your username then up at the top go to the address bar and type in appdata so for mine it would say

c:\users\chris\appdata for something like that then when your in the app data folder you will see local click on that then you will see temp click on that now to make this easyer you sould erase everything in your temp folder that you can now

download the ruu 3.30 exe and when you get it downloaded go and load it up and when the program is ready for you to go through the steps of updating just dont touch it

Go back to your temp folder and you should see a couple more folders appreare in one of thoughs folders you will see another folder and like corecomp or something like that then you will also see dotnet well go to the other folder in that folder then go to the bottom and you will see (rom) move it to your desktop and rename it PC36img or what ever its suppose to be then erase the rom on your sd card and put this one on it and then go back into your bootloader and flash that one and it should work it did for mine the only thing is it will put you back on 3.30 UNROOTED but atleast your phone is not Bricked hope this helped it took me 3 hr yesterday

So I can't do the root?

Glad to see it doesn't revert the PRI.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Topgun966:
It sounds like you didnt this part right...

On your phone, go to Settings > Wireless & Networks

After you do these next 2 commands, start toggling Airplane Mode over and over until you acheive the desired results mention in a few steps.

*

(still in adb shell)

Code:

cd /data/local/tmp

Code:

./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

(This is where you start toggling airplane mode)

You will now see some text on your cmd prompt screen explaining the exploit.

Wait for the adb shell to go away, and it will dump you into your windows command prompt again (no shell) should look something like this:

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>

If it dumps you to a $ instead, repeat those 2 commands again, toggling airplane mode again.

Once that dumps you out of the shell, type

Also, make sure you are on the .6 version of 2.2 (the latest). I dont think it matters but wouldnt hurt.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Topgun966:
Im not too familer with the unrevoked method for root. How long should it be at "Flashing recovery image. Do not touch your phone". Should my phone be at the home screen?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bspeckpizza:
Try finding the newest 2.2 Rom release and extract the ruu from that. Or check the updates on your comp that will throw a code sometimes. I haven't had that prob with my Eco but I ran into it once with my 8525 and touch pro 2

I want root, but i'll wait for something else to come out. I have never had to use SDK tools to do root before, so when that method comes out ill just do that. Good job on the accomplishment guys!

I have this problem too. Apparently if you uninstall SYNC, unrevoked will work.

Which begs the question...how do you uninstall sense on a non rooted phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kellyrx8:
im gonna sound slike a newb here but i had deleted the sdk files a while back so i downloaded them and reinstalled the packages, now when i run adb shell....I get the $ right off the back.

i tried running SU and got premission denied as well as trying to push the files...

stock unrooted evo on 2.2 here.

[EVO 4G Android Development] ziggysmalls:
Once we are down to stock 2.1, can we use any root method/nand unlock?

Do we have to use both or just nand unlock from that point?

I am wary messing with the radio and setting the flag on the radio in a permanent way with UF. BTW - if you use forever, what happens if you flash another radio?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kellyrx8:
i guess i misread or typed something cause its working now....stupid me lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noxious Ninja:
There is now a tool to undo Forever.

As for flashing the radio, I think it should be fine, but I'm not 100% certain.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mmastrac:
Unrevoked forever *does* unlock the nand. Cyanogen's build only checks for the ENG SPL to determine if /system is writeable.
[EVO 4G Android Development] trim81:
after rooting this once, its pretty easy...

I dont think there is a possible way to brick the evo (i could be wrong though)

overall, rooted, and now have cyanogen on this.

Probably off to install snap kernal now

Awesome job for this 2.1 downgrade.

Works like a charm. Do not fear the shell.. :P

This downgrade + Simpleroot or toast will get you back to 2.1 rooted and back to your desired ROM.

Not trying to be an ass. But, we have been waiting for a root since the begining of the month. And we finnaly get one. And its not good enough for you? Wow. All I have to say is i agree its hard to follow. But all u have to do is read and try. If anything its gonna throw an error. It's not gonna brick the phone.

I'm at the end of the guide and when trying to boot to recovery to flash the unrevoked forever zip file. When I select recovery all I see is a picture of the evo with an exclamation point and triangle around it. It sits there and does nothing....
[EVO 4G Android Development] Outc4sted:
Seems my phone is bricked halfway through step one. I did everything correctly but now I don't know what to do. I got as far as having it unzip the PC36IMG.zip and having to restart. Except instead of being greeted with Android 2.1 I have a phone with a hazard symbol and an exclamation mark in the middle. I also can't access the sd card when I plug in my phone. The drive shows up, but when I double click it says please insert a disk into removable disk.

Where do I go from here...?
[EVO 4G Android Development] superman.namrepus:
I had the same problem and tried what Monarky had suggested and it worked for me. Still do not have Root but my phone works. Hope this helps.

REAL damn glad I read this! Got my Evo on 11-4 and haven't rooted yet. Guess I'll wait till it's fixed. I love this site, made the last few months w/ my Heroc bearable, plus I became a nightlies junky. I've got the local Sprint store recommending xda to android customers!

Anyway to ruu back to a previous version that Unrevoked worked for?
[EVO 4G Android Development] teegale:
The problem for me was I had to redo the unrevoked step. Ran the unrevoked.exe again and everything went as it should. I'm now 100% rooted. Now to decide which rom I want to flash..

EDIT: Wow really...I just saw the 1 click root thread. Did I really just do all this when all I needed to do is follow the 4 steps on the other thread...

EDIT2: Nevermind, I was on the latest OTA so it wouldn't have worked anyway.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ezintn:
So will this work for 3.29.651.5? Or should I wait? Can't afford a brick!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ICEReaction:
Yes, this method will work for 3.29. Or if you don't want to downgrade, you can check out the Unrevoked 3.21 one click no downgrade method of rooting.

Hello everyone Im knew to the HTC EVO forums. Actually just bought my evo 4g yesterday and im trying to root the phone but ive been running into some issues. I looked at the video and read the OP post on how to root the phone but i keep running into problems. I keep getting this error

failed to copy rageagainstthecage-arm.bin to /data/loc : Permission Denied

I looked through the whole thread googled it and couldn't come up with a way to fix this so here i am asking for some help that would be greatly appreciated it.

I tried restarting the phone and pc and nothing.

Tried starting from the beggining and nothing samething

Again any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks in Advance

Ok, so I'm sorry if this has been asked a bunch of times already, but I've been looking at stuff for the last hour and keep getting conflicting reports: does unrevoked root the EVO 4G or not? I am trying to root my phone, and when I search for how to do this, everything that comes up is on unrevoked. I've tried the OTA app, no good. I've gone to unrevoked's website and downloaded the latest client and as far as I can tell, it didn't work. I'm trying to use the wifi tether app, and it says my kernel root is not done or some jazz like that. I've come from windows mobile, and am a huge WM guru, but this android stuff is new to me.

this guide was written for a specific version of the software, and if you have the latest updated software on your phone, i bet you do, this guide is not much of use to you. you need to follow the most upto date method, such as the one described in the thread i just mentioned.

unrevoked 3 is supposed to be a simple and fast way to root.

fastboot command not working with HBOOT-0.93.0000

Hi there,

I performed these steps and now have a rooted S-OFF evo 4g that's working great. Thanks!

However, one major problem: I can't use fastboot, now. adb works fine. Here's what I have for HBOOT and recovery:

RECOVERY is

hey guys thanks for the write-up need a little support.

Got through everystep flawlessly up until this point...

I am able to boot into hboot and select bootloader. i let it sit and it finds 3 zip files two with no images 1 with images (which is the PC36IMG.zip file). Then it moves to a screen that says Checking PC36IMG.Zip file...after this point is when I am supposed to apply the zip and i get no such option. It just goes back to the loader option for Fastboot, recovery, clear storage, simlock, hboot usb.

Ive downloaded a few different pc36img.zip files from within this thread and all of them have the 11 files within the folder but the bootloader isnt loading them. Any suggestions. Btw this is a stock evo with preinstalled micro sdhc card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stroid01:
OK after digging through this forum some more I think ive found the issue.

I got the OTA update last week and have the new hboot. I found a thread on this forum (that I cant post cause i have noob posting privledges) but it seems that the fix has been taken down due to unseen issues in the fix to go back to the old bootloader. So from what ive read if you are on this version listed below..you cannot root using this method until a fix has been made for this? Thanks for any help

After more reading and digging Ive noticed in the pc36img.zip the hboot file says hboot 0.93.0000 and my current hboot is 0.97.0000 could this be causing it to not load the image files on the zip? seems logical but I am not sure. All the guides I keep reading are for hboot 2.0.2 cant really find anything very helpfull for my version of hboot.

I am starting to think this root method is outdated already due to hboot issues. Any help is appreciatted thanks.

Please Help.

I started out with a Evo with the 2.2 Update. I followed the guide in the beginning perfectly and got to rebooting and letting it read the PC36IMG.zip file

It booted into the bootloader, loaded the image, and it keeps failing on the radio saying FAIL-PU

When the phone reboots it wil lnot go back to the phone i jsut get the error screen.

Ive reloaded the img file many times, ive redownloaded it, formatted the memory card to no avail. please someone help me..... I dont even care about the root anymore, I just want a working phone

EDIT: I jsut downlaoded the "RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253" ran it, copied the ROM file out of it, renamed and booted off of that and the radio_VZ still fails wit the same FAIL-PU message....HELP!

Hi guys. I am receiving the same problem with the Raidio_V2 FAIL-PU error when trying to root. So I went out and am trying the solution with downloading the ruu 3.30 exe and when I run the program it gives me an error that it can not communicate with phone.

That is most likely because your HBOOT version is 2.02 (the new HTV Evo's now). I do believe you need to follow the HBOOT 2.02 S-OFF Guide to root the new phones.

If you want to get back to stock, can check out this (if you can follow the OP's thoughts): Bricked EVO This Should help!!!!!

or perhaps this: [ROM]RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.30.651.2_Radio_2.15. 00.09.01_NV_1.77_003_release

Good luck to you guys.

The problem is that I get an error from the ruu 3.30 program that it can not connect to my phone ERROR[170]: USB CONNECTION ERROR. I can't figure out why. The drivers are installed on my computer and I can see the device in device manager, but it just will not recognize the phone.
