Do I need to upgrade from 3.26.361.6 to 3.29.361.5 and then root with unrevoked, or can I root now even the software is 3.26.361.6 and then upgrade to 3.29.361.5?
[EVO 4G Android Development] djR3Z:
This method works fine as long as you pick the right PC36IMG.zip based on your hboot. Check which one you have by booting into the bootloader(power down the phone and power on while holding the vol-down button and power button at the same time and holding).
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
NO you dont... check your HBOOT and if its is not the new 2.02 click away. Honestly this has got to be the most pain free way of rooting for anyone noob or expert. I did multiple phones with this method and it took no longer than 10 minutes tops

[EVO 4G Android Development] pkmusic:
Root now, while you have .97. Then after you are rooted, install any rom you want. Recommend Myn Warm 2.2 rls 3. The best in my opinion. I have tried all but CM 6.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] pkmusic:
Im not sure what others have done but I actually ran this one click method as far as it would take me. It rooted my phone but did not full nand unlock. Then I used the guide for changing hboot 2.02 s-on to s-off.

I followed the instructions perfectly but when the phone rebooted at the end of the process it never booted into the recovery black installation screen (as shown on the video). I also don't have superuser permissions so I'm assuming the root wasn't successful. Anyone have any ideas as to what happened?

Specs: Hardware 003

Software: 3.29.651.5

Version 2.2
[EVO 4G Android Development] bacdoliljo:
My phone is on software 3.29.651.5 and I ran Unrevoked 3.21. It set S-OFF for me and flashed Clockwork recovery.

The problem is that it does NOT give me root. Bringing up the adb shell gives me $, not #. I tried flashing Amon RA recovery using the fastboot method but it won't let me. The Unrevoked 3.21 application's option for custom recovery does nothing at all.

I thought this was supposed to be a painless and simple root? Am I doing something wrong? I have rooted before, but I needed to exchange my phone since 4G got fu*ed

Also, if Unrevoked 3.21 is supposed to give root, nand unlock, etc, what is the purpose of Unrevoked Forever? URForever just prevents updates from changing S-OFF back to S-ON?

Got myself in trouble and now I need help

Argh, in my anxiousness to get on Froyo rooted using Unrevoked, I seem to have screwed up and now require assistance. Man I hope someone can help me out.

I was on build 1.32.651.6 and had used the original unrevoked method to get root so I could use wifi tether. I stayed away from the OTA fix and 2.2 updates since a friend of mine had lost his root access and 2.2 wasn't rooted yet.

Now that this urnevoke method works on 2.2, I figured I'd apply the OTA updates and then run it. Well, I forgot to check what build I was on after the OTA and didn't realize it was it was only 1.47.651.1 and not 3.26.651.6 which has Froyo.

I ran unrevoked and it worked though I saw some interesting messages flash by like "taking note" of something and boot menu doing something. I now see S-OFF so I'm guessing it worked BUT the HTC software update won't let me perform the latest OTA to get Froyo. So annoying and disappointed :/

I sincerly hope someone can help me out of this pickle!

How do u install the game roms after u get rooted is there a tutorial or something thanks for any help
[EVO 4G Android Development] egravel:
Thanks Jim (jelive),

I'll wait for a reply. I got the binary last Friday late afternoon from a friend who got it from the IRC channel. He says it's version 3.21RC.

I was actually considering trying the RUU to unroot and then try to apply ALL of the OTA (this time) and then try the unrevoked 3.21 final once again. Think that would work?

Btw, I'm curious, what is it that prevents the update from installing Froyo?

Thanks

Eric
[EVO 4G Android Development] jelive:
If you ran the unrevoked 3.21 you may be good...but if it worked properly you should have been able to do the software updates (tho you would then have another issue afterwards). Its why I suggested waiting on djR3Z response as you are at an in between stage and I know his advice will be solid. Pretty sure I could guide you but I'd like his input.

If anyone can help me I would be forever grateful.

So I successfully installed the drivers on my PC. When i go into Device Manager it now says Android Phone, ADB.

I downloaded the Unrevoked 3.21 reflash package.exe from the unrevoked website. I open it up and it says UNREVOKED3 painless reflash, etc. It also says to plug your phone in with debugging mode on etc.

I plug my phone in while in charge only, I turn on debugging mode and nothing happens at all. What am I doing wrong here? thanks in advance..
[EVO 4G Android Development] jelive:
You may need to back out with debugging mode selected and restart reflash package again...it may not have detected your debugging mode change.

Thanks for the response. I restarted the reflash package about 10 times now. A few times I tried with the phone already plugged in and debugging mode on and a few times I started the reflash package then plugged the phone in and nothing happens.....What's with this thing? I thought it was supposed to be one click rooting?

[EVO 4G Android Development] 1967ls2:
I never had it installed on this computer. Someone suggesting installing it then uninstalling it. I'm trying to see if that works. I don't understand why this is so difficult. I must be missing something here...Any help is gratefully appreciated...
[EVO 4G Android Development] thenewguy821:
There are drivers in the HTC Sync program that may be needed. That is why it is suggested to install Sync. After the drivers have been installed, uninstall Sync because it messes up the UR3 process.

On another note, I rooted with UR2 while UR3 was down, then changed my bootloader to 0.76. I am having trouble loading some ROMs (Baked Snacks, Evio, etc.). I am considering unrooting, then Rooting via UR3, as this should give full root and nand unlocked. I prefer to use Amon_RA recovery. Do I just have to click on File/Custom Recovery and browse to Amon_RA, or do I have to load Amon AFTER everything is done?

If I make a backup of the ROM I am on now, will I just be able to restore that backup after running UR3, or will I have to start on a new ROM install?

Thanks.

ok i rooted/s-off with the unrevoked 3.2 a few weeks back. since then just added kingxkernel #9 by kingclick. no custom rom added, just some apps and that was it. just recently i started noticing some forced close with messenger, lag here and there, and just today the mic has not been processing what i am saying when i say a word for it to search or speech to text. i am wondering if rooting again with the new unrevoked 3.21 will hurt anything since it is the official release and got all the bugs out? or what does someone recommend i do, just keep what i got and put a custom rom in and go from there? i dont know, was just wanting to root, unlock nand and just use the phone as is, unless i started experiencing some bugs (which i now am) then i would consider installing custom rom. any advice?

unrevoked 3.21

I done this root method with ease. However, I cant delete sprint apps? how can i do this if I am rooted?
[EVO 4G Android Development] bacdoliljo:
You can downgrade to a version 1.32.651.6 RUU or even a 1.47.651.1 (couldn't do this version for me... USB error) then root using one of the original methods like toast's or use Simple Root.

Another way that I found that works for 3.29.651.5 is taking the PC36IMG from Simple Root and putting that in your root directory, boot into bootloader and let it flash the img. After the first flash, your phone will keep booting directly into the bootloader so let it flash the img file a second time and your phone will boot normally into the OS with version 1.17.x or something like that. Then you can boot into fastboot and flash a custom recovery like AmonRA. This Unrevoked stuff doesn't work for me

Just rooted today (S-OFF & Clockwork loading now under Boot Loader) with a new EVO (August 2010 according to bootloader date).

Hboot Version: 0.97

Build/Software Version: 3.29.651.5

Android Version: 2.2 after OTA (previously performed prior to the root today)

Performed on a Windows 7 64bit machine.

Thanks a ton!!! So much nicer than dealing with adb on my old HTC Hero! You guys rock! Thanks for all of your work/time!

Ps - Just as a suggestion to the MODs/OP, I'm not sure if it is an issue with anyone else, but I found it very difficult to determine whether or not my EVO was "new". For me without a date or specific reference, I had no clue if my August EVO was "new" or if the UNREVOKED method was a feasible option to root yet. Is it the Hboot version people need to check to determine if it's a "new" evo and not compatible? Perhaps add this to the first post? Again, MANY THANKS!! Just a few thoughts to help others ;)

Yeah I googled this today, yet I have not seen any fixes. It looks like several people are having the same issue even with the same bootloader recovery (0.97) and software version (3.29.651.5) of my phone which was successful today.

I just followed verbatim all of the instructions from the first post and downloaded the unrevoked today. I'm assuming you did all of the install and then uninstall of HTC Sync, debugging enabled under phone settings, Hboot USB driver setup correctly with device manager confirming this, etc., etc.

[EVO 4G Android Development] bacdoliljo:
I rooted my phone with those specs (HW003) by using:

Download SimpleRoot - http://myevo4g.net/simple/

Copy PC36IMG.zip from the package folder to the root of your SDCARD

Boot your phone into bootloader (power off, hold volume_down, power on)

Flash PC36IMG when it asks you

After flash, it will ask you to reboot. Do so and it will boot directly into bootloader.

Flash the same PC36IMG again and reboot when it's done.

It should now boot into the OS (version 1.xx).

You now have root with S-OFF.

Next flash whatever recovery you want. I used AmonRA 1.8 by the fastboot method.

Delete PC36IMG from your phone and you should be all set.

I've tried Unrevoked a few times, but it just seems like ghetto-rigging to me... You technically get root with S-OFF and Clockwork recovery, but it will not let you flash other recoveries or use ADB commands. You get $ instead of # at adb shell.
