Oh man...can anyone direct me to the simplest way to root my evo. Ty, unless you think the unrevoked team is coming out with my version soon.

ok i follow all the instructions and it goes thru all the screens, then it gets stock in waiting for root safe to reboot, then the phone reboots normally what am i doing wronggggg please help

ok, got it it says it does not work with new evos, man this is hard why the z4root works for temporary rooting but can not find a permanent solution,,,

I have a (hopefully) quick question pertaining to rooting on OS X. ( 10.6.4) Just checked the bootloader on my EVO and says that I have H boot 0.97 Rest of the info:

Android Version 2.2

Baseband: 2.15.00.09.01

Build: 3.29.651.5

Software #: 3.29 " " " "

PRI: 1.77_003

PRL: 60672

Just want to make sure that I'm good to go with the latest version of Unrevoked before I move forward. Also, reading up over at the Phandroid forums, it is suggested to back up all data then wipe the device clean before hand. Should I still do this? My primary reason for rooting is to rid my device of all the bloatware, then perhaps do a bit of theming at some point.

I don't know if I'll go with another ROM for now, because I'm somewhat satisfied with stock. Unless of course my 3g speeds will improve with another ROM ? (currently, speeds are hit and miss, ranging from abysmal to "ok") For now, I guess I just want to root for the privilege of removing the junk.

Thanks for the help, and happy holidays !

How I rooted my 2.2 EVO with unrevoked

Just wanted to pass this on in case it might help some of you.

Unrevoked V3.3 is out and works with the new EVOs using 2.2 HBOOT however not flawlessly. At least not for me. It would complete the first step off installing unrevoked forever to get S-OFF however it was never able to install the custom recovery and allow SuperUser permissions (Full root). After many retries it finally worked by me having to hold down the volume key when the unrevoked package rebooted my phone the 2ND time. I'm guessing it was having problems booting into the bootloader and it was instead doing a regular reboot.

If you get a message on unrevoked asking if you have too new firmware or it gets stuck at "Rebooting..." prompt try this suggestion

[EVO 4G Android Development] leebo:
I used Unrevoked back in like August 2010, so I don't remember exactly the version at that time.

I have been rooted ever since.

I received the update from Sprint whenever it came out (two months ago???). I attempted to install it, but after it did it's thing, I got an error message that the update was not installed. I have not tried again since that time.

It is difficult to follow this thread because it has gotten so big. Am I correct that the current version of Unrevoked will root EVO's that have applied the Sprint update?

And, if so, how do I install the Sprint update? Do I just keep trying until it finally succeeds?

Thanks.

Alright guys, I have a few questions... I have an Evo hardware rev 0004 now I have read in this forum that the unrevoked does not work well with new Evos especially ones with the 2.02 or 2.10 HBoot. Well here is my experience, I am not a noob and, have rooted many phones. Samsung moment, HTC Hero, HTC Evo, well I thought the evo. I got my new evo first time ever just 8 days ago. I was comboing the forums and found this exploit. I tried it and wow it worked. I am sure my first evo was hboot 2.10. Now it was rooted for 4 days. I installed MIUI on it and left My hometown in Missouri traveled to San Antonio to search for a new house to rent. The evo worked great. Was using the navigation and it went dead. then couldnt't get it booted back up. Took it to best buy in San Antonio, they exchanged it of coarse I had my reciept. Went back and used the same root... Didn't even check the hboot.. seem to work fine once again. I then installed Koni's elite and it worked again flawless for the next 4 days. I tried to enable the 4G in rush hour traffic in Dallas and it locked up. Rebooted it and waited till I got home then attempted to restore it to the nand backup by using Caulkins wipe zip and then clockworks restore function it then completly screwed it!! Just began bootlooping in the Sprint/ 4G screen. Took it back to best buy here at home and got another exchange... Now on Evo number 3. Once again it was and still is hboot 2.02. I did the same root as always and it seemed to work flawless. Wireless tether works super user works hboot shows S-off Havent tried 4G or sprint hotspot. I read just a few pages back that it has a reputation of corrupting new phones.. How and how long because I am on Evo # 3 and have sent the last 2 back to best buy which will send them back to Sprint no?? Will they find the exploits and shuit my account down?? Is this going to eventually corrupt my evo # 3? I would like to install another custom rom but am seriously afraid of it messing up evo # 3 and me having to go back to Best buy and beg for evo # 4.. Maybe I should update the recovery to a newer one or maybe Amon Ra?? Anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me? Right now my evo # 3 is fully rooted and I am posting this with my wireless tether and I have root file explorer installed as well as it showing S-off on hboot 2.02 will it eventually corrupt it over time?? Sorry for such a long rant and post, I just simply wanted to be thorough and cover everything.... Thanks for any help provided.

Unrevoked3...partially

I'm trying to root my Uncle's EVO, and unrevoked doesn't complete successfully. Here are his phone specs:

HBOOT: 2.10.0001

Hardware: 0003

Radio: 2.15.00.11.19

Unrevoked runs initially, and it has worked in removing security since HBOOT now shows S-OFF, however I can't get it to install root correctly. It fails after the reboot when trying to get root. It either says that connectivity has been terminated, or it says that the firmware may be too new.

If it helps, there is an error in the terminal window with the following:

/usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so

ERROR: n = -1, errno = 19 (No such device)

I'm running this on Ubuntu Maverick.

Any suggestions?

Hi, I have an evo with exact information as this member. But after the 1 click rooting, I tried to run titanium back up. There is error " sorry, i could not acquire root privileges. this application will not eork. please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox, and try again". So what is the reason? By the way, I just rooted the phone, but am still using the ROM came with the phone.

[EVO 4G Android Development] speedracerbubba:
After running the RUU to try and fix my failed 3g (which didn't bring my 3g connection back, it still just fails), I ran this to re-root and it worked perfectly.

I am on a launch month 003 hardware evo that had the latest everything thanks to sprint lovers all in one.

Much easier than toasts method that I had originally used back in the day.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leebo:
Well, my procrastination has expired! I am going to try this today. I have downloaded the files.

However, I am reading that thread (only up to page 7 so far, but still going) and there are no instructions. This is not something I do everyday (like some of you), so I am very rusty on procedure.

I will continue to read that thread, but I am guessing if they were going to post instructions, they would have posted them long b4 page 7.

Can I just use the same process as Unrevoked, except replace that file with this one? IOW, does each ROM have it's own, specific procedure to follow?

Edit: After looking at the files, I see there is no .exe. So am I correct to assume you place these on the MicroSD card and not use my computer at all? So how? go into HBOOT and select bootloader? Whats the difference between bootloader and reboot bootloader?

I did a NAND backup back in August 2010 of my original factory ROM. I assume I dont really need to repeat that. My app list is synced with AppBrain, so I can always re-install those. Lookout backed up my call logs and contacts (on google anyway). Texts backed up using both SMS Backup.

I see the update at that thread does not include updated radios, but there is a link to them. Do I simply search for directions for updating the radios and follow that?

And update the radios AFTER flashing this ROM (I guess)?

Grrr. More reading required.

Hope I don't get killed, but like I said, it's been 7 months since I last did this.:rolleyes:

First time ROOTER

I have read many tuts and just attempted the unRevoked root method.

My evo : Android 2.2, software ver 3.70.651.1 CL29484 release-keys, hboot 2.10.0001, baseband 2.15.00.11.19

It says SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-OFF - Does that mean the phone is already rooted??? Whe I try to run the wifi tether for rooted, it says that I am not rooted...

I loaded the windows hboot driver, seemed to go fine, unplugged the phone while still in hboot, then rebooted.

I turned on usb debugging and put the phone on charge only.

Plugged phone back in, ran the unrevoked exe, it found the evo, then attempted the reflash... it stopped at flashing the clock rom... I tried again, same..

I then installed htc sync (for the first time), then uninstalled it (but did not uninstall the HTC SYNC DRIVERS, whichinstalled under a different start menu folder)

I put the phone back into hboot, then uninstalled the modified hboot drivers, then re installed.

Now... whenever I attempt to run the unrevoked exe, my phone says "the application zysploit (process com.unrevoked.zysploit) has stopped unexpectedly, please try again"

The unrevoked software on pc says "failed to get root, is your firmware too new?"

What do i do?????

[EVO 4G Android Development] moseso:
To all the people posting recently that they are rooted, but their root applications (Titanium Backup, WiFi Tether, whatever) aren't working --->

You need to install some version of SU, the Super User app, available in the Market. Most of the custom ROMs include it, but the stock ROM, of course, does not. SU will allow root applications to gain root privileges. Without it, they can't.

Look in your app drawer to see if SU is there. If it isn't, go to the Market and install it.

"Q. How can I tell if I rooted my EVO correctly?

A. Super easy way to figure out if you're rooted.

Make sure USB Debugging is on.

Menu>Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging should be checked

Connect your phone using "Charge Only"

Open a "Run" window and type "c:\evo-recovery\adb-windows shell"

If you get a "$" you're not rooted

If you get a "#" you're rooted

Click -->here<-- to see a picture of this.

Additional note: If you're on 1.47.651.1 and you believe you're rooted, you'll see the "$" first, type "SU" and hit enter. You'll get a pop-up on your phone for Superuser Permissions to "Allow" or "Deny" access. Click "Allow". If it changes to a "#" you're rooted. If you get "permission denied" you're not rooted."

Instructions and still go permission denied and a $ sign? I forgot to allow access, after I did that it changed to "#".

I'm going to use unrevoked3 to root and place recovery (still deciding between clockword and amon ra) then use unrevoked forever to s-off. Then I'll partition my SD card, make some more space on my Desire.
