I had a similar problem and it kep saying I was in San Diego (I think, can't remember). It eventually sorted itself out. I think there was a GPS issue. I might have turned GPS on and off a few times and flipped the GPS settings a few times. Or just try flashing a new ROM and seeing if it fixes it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] traybent:
Ok I'm having a serious problem . I was rooting someone's using the same root method that I used to do mine. Which was the one you had posted on your site with the walk through videos. Well everything was going good until I got to the unrevoked part ,when ran unrevoked everything was going ok,but it never made it to the recovery part ,it kept saying can't find flash misc or something like that . Please tell me something to do .
[EVO 4G Android Development] nolageek:
Just got a replacement EVO and am trying to root it, but keep getting prompted to install this f*king WdfCoInstaller01007.dll and it's driving me insane. Does Unrevoked3 work for this hardware? It says on the site that the new version works for all current versions. Is this just not updated?

strange i have the same model and mfg date and i rooted fine with unrevoked
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
You need the modified HBOOT driver.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oohoy:
i know the title says this version 3.2.1 dont work on new evo yet. what about the version 3.2.2 listed on unrevoked.com ? whhich root method works best for new evo ? is it the boss version one ?

i dont even have my white evo yet, its comin tomm. yes im obsessed, lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] nolageek:
I did - No matter what I did it kept asking me to re-install it. I kept running the same steps over any over and eventually it worked but the drivers never did stick. Not sure what's up with my computer. It took me about 5 or 6 tries but it finally finished. Weird.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mmegalodon:
I seem to be at the same point Sultan mentioned ... evverything seemed to work, have su icon and clockwork but s-on still there.

This is my first one click, on a new replacement, things seemed to go fine but I'm assuming this is when I run unrevoked forever so I get full nand and write capability?

edit: nevermind
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheDave1022:
3.2.2 has incredible fix. 3.30 is supposed to have EVO fix. Boss version is the only method that works for now on newest hardware.

I see the comment in the header regarding new evo's and this is just purchased from sprint. Followed the guide on a win7 64 bit and everything went well but unrevoked3 does not see the evo...am i S.O.L with this version of evo??
[EVO 4G Android Development] oohoy:
what evo fix ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vipermuscle83:
I have the new HBOOT 2.0.2 and have no plans on attempting the "Like a Boss" root method. As an experienced Android hacker, I suggest you guys that have the new EVOs with the new HBOOT wait until either Unrevoked or someone else comes out with a full proof method that doesn't require a customized recovery image. To me, that's the catch with "Like a Boss." The fact that you won't be able to use any other recovery image will get extremely annoying if you ever need to flash a ROM, theme, or add-on that requires ClockWorkMod recovery or Rom Manager. Plus, I don't like the fact that the software you must download for the "Like a Boss" method has a damn Trojan attached to it! Beware and have patience people. I have faith that the Unrevoked team will be able to incorporate the new HBOOT versions in their one click root method and soon!
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheDave1022:
Unrevoked version that works with latest evo hardware
[EVO 4G Android Development] oohoy:
which means onclick version on hboot 2.02 is comin soon ? guess i'll wait for it. now im hesitating a bit with that comment made by viper. though my kaspersky software never detected any virus or trjoan in it. my first attempt download of hboot202-soff-v71 was corrupted. had to download it twice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ERHSAII:
I had an EVO that was version 3.30. It fried and the replacement is version 2.29. I know Unrevoked3 didn't work with 3.30, will it work with 2.29? Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] TheDave1022:
I agree with Viper. If the phone I get is hboot 2.02, I will wait to see what the unrevoked team comes up with. I really dont like the fact that you cant flash whatever version of recovery you want. It's also a hacked version of amon ra recovery.

The only thing I dont like about Unrevoked is that you dont get ADB root access
[EVO 4G Android Development] stinkfist1:
I have used unrevoked before on my older evo that crapped out on me. When I got my replacement I used this same method to gain root. Everything worked including flashing a rom and doing a nandroid backup and I do have the superuser app. But I still have "s-on" is this a problem and am I good to go?
[EVO 4G Android Development] oohoy:
did u do all 3 steps from unrevoked method ? the apk, the recovery and the forever-s-off etc
[EVO 4G Android Development] ERHSAII:
I just used unrevoked to root my EVO. Everything seems to be okay except on final boot into recovery, I get the normal installing info and then this:

unrevoked forever S-Off patch v1.1

verifying system type

E: unsupported radio version

E: update failed. Check /sdcard/soff.log.

E: error in /data/local/unrevoked-forever.zip

(status 42)

Help, what should I do?

Edit: I am rooted. I have superuser app, but in Hboot it still shows S-On. I also checked and I have the most current radio version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluerayusa:
Same here, i chose reboot option and now find out not only did it not work but my sdcard has been damaged and says it needs to be reformatted, only it wont reformat it within the phone itself. Will try reformatting sdcard with laptop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luin4g:
Im getting the same as above, but I AM NOT ROOTED. SetCPU and a free reboot widget does not work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ERHSAII:
Well, I don't know what happened, but I am rooted and recovery works. I went ahead and flashed the unrevoked forever option and now have S-Off and I'm able to do a Nand backup. So everything is working, but I'm still curious what happened the first time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] randy021186:
i have the same problem, if i got this far does it mean my phone has been rooted?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ERHSAII:
Check your apps. If you have an app named "Superuser", then you are successfully rooted. That app gets dropped in your system during the root process.

Hey guys,

Ive tried a couple root methods and I always get the main version is older message (i even tried formatting the sc card no luck). So i tried this and everything goes fine until i do the hboot plug, it seems like my phone takes to long to reboot since it says "waiting for reboot" then before my phone even hits the 4G screen it says "failed to flash recovery image" here is a little info on the phone hope it helps Hardware is 002 Software #3.29.651.5 Build number 3.29 PRI 1.77 prl 60670.

Weird problem with unrevoked

I am having the same problem. Evo always goes to a full boot after "this was a triumph"

does anyone have any ideas on what to try in order to fix this issue? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] luin4g:
I have that app, and it says I have SetCPU and my reboot widget to have access, but neither work on my phone. Ive rebooted many times.

When I hit the reboot button it says "Error obtaining root, please make sure you have a rooted device to use this widget" in a little grey box at the bottom of the screen.

When I use SetCPU and adjust the scale, nothing changes my speed stays the same, and I cant overclock it.

gonna try to flash a custom just wondering why s is still on, and is that the correct hboot.

[EVO 4G Android Development] PCap79:
That's exactly what I have on my phone...so it's safe to say the current version of Unrevoked won't work on my phone? I actually tried it last night before seeing this thread but I don't have the Superuser app and when I tried to flash recovery I kept getting the black screen w/ red triangle (only way to get rid of it was to remove the battery and reboot)

Any updates on when the new version of Unrevoked for the new Evo phones will be released?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ERHSAII:
I had the same problem on my first EVO and Sprint couldn't fix it. So , they gave me a new phone. Since then, I've been told that with Hboot 2.02, unrevoked corrupts the radio and won't work. So you may have a messed up phone. If you can get to the Hboot screen, make sure that it still says S-On at the very top of screen. Then I would recommend erasing any files that may be on your sd card that could show root attempt and take it to Sprint. I had no problems and got new phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ERHSAII:
Any Evo with the 3.30 version has problems rooting, in fact at this time, its not possible with Unrevoked to root a 3.30 phone. Some of the other root processes may work though, just more complicated to do.

[EVO 4G Android Development] PCap79:
Glad to hear Sprint replaced the phone for you. Luckily after removing the battery my phone works fine.

Thanks for the info. I'm just gonna wait for the updated unrevoked program to be released rather than messing around with it and possibly bricking my brand new phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] stinkfist1:
Sorry it took me so long to reply, works got me busy.

Ya i followed everything to the T. even tried to update the driver but the one i installed earlier was still the most up to date. So should I unroot and start over again? I should add that I can't flash Amon RA recovery either I tried both ways. The way through rom manager and the other way from the amon ra thread. I'm thoroughly perplexed.

Super User icon is on the phone

So I tried root apps to see it it worked,

Wifi Tether app and download/upload was .4/.2 on the phone pushing no internet to the computer but I could connect to it.

The lcd density app did nothing it appeared.

But both apps asked for superuser permission

I am new at this and have read the 46 pages trying to solve the issue.

Under device manager it says: Android composite ADB Interface

The device manager part I couldn't follow step by step, being different than the videos because I have windows XP

I have never installed HTC sync, debug is on, charge only (remember setting)

Tried different USB ports, Reinstalled USB Hboot and restarted the computer and tried again and again. Reinstalled unrevoked and tried again and again.

Try using unrevoked 3, not forever. I just rooted my phone about a week ago and i used 3. it all worked just fine, Same exact stuff on my phone as yours. ie;hboot, version etc...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Max_Pain:
hey guys.

need some help. keep trying this method and coming up with a problem. at the end of the recovery part i get an error saying "unsupported radio" and it fails.

prior to that, the second time it goes into HBOOT USB and it tells you to press power on hboot usb on the phone, it takes a long time, and it doesnt respond unless i keep pressing power over and over on HBOOT USB.

i made sure the phone has all the latest updates, radio, prl, pri, everything is updated. the phone has hboot 0.97, radio 2.15.00.09.01. software is 3.29 not 3.30...

still shows s-on but clockword mod recovery installed.

what's going on?

i'm going to try another way of rooting but any suggestions welcome.

EDIT: appears as if the phone is rooted. superuser is there and gave rights to setcpu with no problems. still shows s-on so i guess i'm going to hunt for a s-off solution.

Hey guys,

I tried many many ways in PPCGEEKS and couldn't work out. Finally, I found unrevoked forever....but I tried in windows 7 and mac 10.5, and do whatever they said on the website. But it sitll didn't work.

Device: HTC EVO 4G

Download from unrevoked.com official website: v3.22

Radio baseband versions:2.15.00.09.01

Software: 3.30.651.3

I didn't see the black screen with words on it - ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1. And the information page in mac os said,

"Internal error: misc"

Can anyone help me?

MANY MANY THANKS!!!

Any clue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Unrevoked does not work with your hboot and it has a reputation of corrupting the newer phones. You'll need to run the 3.30 RUU to restore your phone and undo anything it may have done to it. Once you do that try the method in my sig or Zikronix's 2.02 s-off guide

[EVO 4G Android Development] ICEReaction:
If everything else worked and just unrevoked forever failed, I think some people said they flashed that manually to get S-OFF and it worked.

Hmm...I was under the impression you needed to install HTC Sync and then uninstall it because when you installed HTC Sync, HTC Drivers (different from the HBOOT Drivers) are installed on your comp (Windows). I originally used regaw's downgrade method to root my phone and that's what was required. But have also used unrevoked 3.21 to root 3 other phones and they all worked fine without any problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bvermett:
I had this problem on my brothers phone this weekend. I ran unrevoked 3 and it installed clockwork recovery and superuser but still did not have full root. Download unrevoked forever, place on root of sd card. reboot into recovery. install zip from sd card. reboot phone, power down and boot into hboot, now should say s off.

[EVO 4G Android Development] randy021186:
i am in the same boat and don't know what to do
[EVO 4G Android Development] ICEReaction:
You can try to just flash the unrevoked-forever-son.zip to get back to S-ON and then located and download/install an official 3.30 or 3.70 RUU and that should unroot you. There should also be some official 3.30 or 3.70 PC36IMG files located in the forums too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Pihrana:
I had the same Error messages and apparent failure of unrevoked3. Im still S-on, although I have the superuser icon installed. Having tried to find out if I have super-user rights in a different way other than going of S-on vs S-off I tried the free wireless tethering app, which requires superuser rights, and having installed it and used it I guess I can say I'm rooted, at least partially.....

I didn't really want to do anything more that tethering so I'm happy, but without trying to backup / install new ROMS I doubt I will ever know just how rooted my device really is.......

I just received my White HTC Evo 4G, will this root method be applicable to my phone? It came with 2.2 loaded already on it and it is hardware version 0003.

I would like to try and do this now if possible, a quick response is greatly appreciated!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ICEReaction:
Since you just received your EVO, I would say no you cannot use this method because you would have the newer HBOOT version. HBOOT version 2.02 or 2.10 are currently no supported by unrevoked, the dev team is working on it. To check your HBOOT version, power off your phone and restart by holding VOL DOWN and POWER. When you are at the white screen with the skating Androids at the bottom, near the top you should see your HBOOT version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bassmanxu:
The answer is probably no, but you need to check your Hboot to be sure. Power off the phone, then when it's off, hold the down volume button and turn it back on while holding the down volume. This will kick you to the white bootloader screen. If it says HBoot 2.02 or 2.10 near the top, then it won't work for you.
