quick question!

i downloaded the main file 3 days ago, but since you updated whatever you updated do i have to download the main file again? or que? o_O so i can try and root this ***** one more time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
if its version 8.1 you can download the update to it

here

save that in the folder titled root in the main package overwriting the other file thats there with the same name.

if its not version 8.1 then re download the entire package.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mainguy21:
thank you sir..also this works with hardware 0004 right? cause im already in the middle of trying to root just got the rooted part on z4!

HELP!!! ive tried this 3 times, my phone gets stuck at htc EVO 4G screen at step 10, i dont get to red triangle
[EVO 4G Android Development] dhMassacre:
Well, I had clockwork installed, I did the recovery though, everything is good.

I'm on a different custom ROM with whatever recovery that gave me...I've always used clockwork :(

But anyways, even though I did that, it still says Begin private and End Private, so all and all should be good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thieff77:
anyone have any ideas???

[EVO 4G Android Development] VTEC4ME:
I have HW 0003 Hboot 2.10, so after using this method to root, what should I use for Nand back up?

Just Rom Manager by ClockworkMod???

And after rooting, I should be able to use Titanium Backup to remove all this bloatware crap from the new OTA update correct??
[EVO 4G Android Development] dhMassacre:
You have to use the recovery this gives you, not clockwork.

So you can use rom manager to boot into recovery, but thats it.

Once in recovery, there is a backup/restore option, which is the same....it just doesn't have a nice app like rom manager to go along with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
I don't get it. I have hboot 2.10... Newest ota, S-Off and clockwork with no problem... I use nandroid right from clockwork recovery to backup and restore... No issues at all...

Is this only an issue for 004 hardware or something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
it affected 0003 and 0004....the partitions were different. clockwork works for some but not alll....take a gander through the thread and at least two people that lost 4g perm because of it overwriting keys.

infact koush is rewirting it because of the issue
[EVO 4G Android Development] dhMassacre:
I hope he does soon. I miss clockwork....because i miss rom manager.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TehBigCarp:
So I have followed these directions to the T and am wondering if its possibly my phone or a bad file.

I have HW 0003 Hboot 2.10 with radio 2.15. I am able to push all the files to sd card but when I get to the step that says run adb shell, then su, I get permission denied. My phone is currently sitting at the z4root 1.3.0 screen that says Temporarily rooted until your next reboot. I have the superuser icon and still do even if I reboot.

Ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
adb shell and su are seperate commands...and su should be lowercase

hope this helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TehBigCarp:
Your response is much appreciated.

I type adb shell to get to the $ prompt.

I am at the $ prompt when I type su and it gives me the permission denied.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Is there a flashable zip of Amon Ra recovery that you have posted in the main file for adb push? I already have full root and nand unlock on hboot 2.10 and I was a lucky one that has clockwork mod installed with it and it works fine but I suppose I should update to this custom Amon Ra recovery to avoid any potential future problems. Thing is I'm on a mac and wont be in front of a pc for quite some time so I was hopping someone had a zip version of this recovery.

Is it floating around somewhere?

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] corruptphantasm:
when i do the recovery it says busybox not found?
[EVO 4G Android Development] TehBigCarp:
Havn't even seen anything on busybox yet, Just trying to get past the permission denied after z4root says im temp rooted /sigh
[EVO 4G Android Development] djflaco23:
? - now that i am rooted and running sprintlovers rom, can i delete the pc36img.zip files off my sdcard or do they have to stay on there. and the mtd one.

im rooted now but i just want to understand how to flash new roms if i wanted to.

Thanks in advance

and what is all this talk about titanium backup and rom backup. what am i supposed to do after im rooted.

i already uninstalled all the sprint apps, thank god.
[EVO 4G Android Development] andnad:
Unrooted and rerooted using this newer method for hboot 2.10 to verify it's working, still does!
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
what do you mean by this:

2) Open a command prompt and change to where ever you extracted the files to.

I am going to extract the zip file to a folder on my desktop

so it would look something like this:

c:users\strickler\desktop\htc evo

is that what you mean?

A Riddle For the Advanced...

A friend of mine was thinking that he was some kind of super genius and installed ClockworkMod Recovery on my phone through Rom Manager so that he could flash a Rom that he wanted me to try. Now all I can do is turn it on and go to ClockworkMod. It goes no further. Help!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] VTEC4ME:
Thanks for the info.

So, do i need to load the Sprint Lovers rom that this file comes with or can I just skip that step? I just want it to be rooted so I can remove the bloatware, and I should be able to do this through Titanium backup?
[EVO 4G Android Development] raiders15:
I cant get this to work?

When i type the adb shell and su i get a $ sign then it ask for me to allow super user permission on the the phone. then I get # sign but after that in step 11 i think it says the device is offline (red triangle step)? am I doing something wrong. Please help me I am confused. send me a message if you have any advice.

[EVO 4G Android Development] mainguy21:
when is this going to work with the 0004 hardware? i cant get it to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robes1:
I can get to the bootloader but anything else leads me straight to Clockwork. Even if I have to unroot. Its useless right now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
it works fine with 0004 hardware...saying it doesnt work with out posting any detail of who what where or why helps no one

Zikronix,

So, do i need to load the Sprint Lovers rom that this file comes with or can I just skip that step? I just want it to be rooted so I can remove the bloatware, and I should be able to do this through Titanium backup?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
not trying to be an ass...but in the last few pages thats all i see is clockwork this and clock work that...

if your friend told you to jump off a bridge would you? The lesson here is this root method and these phones...must be followed to the letter...any variance of them could totally hose your ****. Ive streamlined the guide and the package as much as possible to make it pain free with the help of many people in this forum we have a system that works...99% dead on everytime...but only if you follow it to the letter.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Robes1:
I didn't know he was doing it. I was trying to find presents for christmas.

How do I get the sd card to mount? I can't install anything without that. the adb shell commands don't work because it says that it can't find the device.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
the sprint lovers rom will give you a current build of android update the radios, and install the AMON_RA recovery required.

I guess if you really wanted to you could install the recovery from the first page, update your radios, pick a rom.....you know what...no you cant skip it because some one will see this post and their friend will be like hey lets do that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robes1:
but how do i mount the sd card again? the computer isn't even seeing the device or the sd card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mainguy21:

[EVO 4G Android Development] corruptphantasm:

Then tried flashing a different rom and it wont go pass the start like after the white htc what would normally be the 4g coming in it just stops and dosnt do anything i tried flash other roms just to see if it was the rom but they all do the same.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Robes1:
OK. I have Sprint Lovers up and running. Still need to fix my recovery. I already know that I just need to follow the steps on the first page but I still need to download the recovery file because the link is still not working. Does anyone know where I can get the file that the link should take me to?

Does this work for

hd boot 2.10.0001

Radio 2.15.00.11.19

Kernel 2.6.32.17-gee557fd

Browser version - Webkit 3.1

PRI Version 1.90_003

I thought this post had a big warning about radio version 2.15.00.11.19. Now the warning seemed to have disappeared. Anything changed? Does it work for the newest radio version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogos:
Download the official RUU 3.70 exe file and run it from your computer. It should factory reset everything.

This has been tested working for all current variations of hardware running hboot 2.02 and 2.10.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thaprinze:
A couple weeks ago I rooted my Evo using these instructions & everything went smoothly with no errors. This weekend I got a new phone & ran everything again, but this time I got the following errors when flashing the first PC36IMG file.

RADIO_V2 - Fail-PU

BOOTLOADER- Fail-IC

The issue is that even though ClockworkMod is not supported, I was able to successfully flash over to it using Rom Manager last week. However, since I got the new phone, I can still flash over to CM, but I can't use it to flash any roms. When I do, I get an error stating "No space on device". Anyone know why it worked a few weeks ago, but not now? Was I just lucky?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Likeachampion3:
Excellent thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dis_dj_sin:
the errors you got are fine....I got the same errors too and I actually have a custom kernal and rom working.

but WHY did you flash clockwork? That would definitely be the only reason why you can flash the rom and you definitely got lucky last time. Do you remember the specs of your last phone? Hardware, software, etc?
[EVO 4G Android Development] knewz:
stuck at step 9. Selected bootloader and it jumps back to main recovery screen (i.e fast boot, data wipe, etc.) Then tries to load zip files and says under each file "no image" and/or "wrong image". The pc36 files are still zipped up and definately on the card. I tried pushing them through adb and drag-n-drop directly. i'm only using a 1G sdcard. Could that be the problem? Everything seems to fit on it
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogos:
The issue really never was about whether the newer HW phones could flash CM recovery onto their phones. The issue was whether CM recovery would brick the phones, delete 4G RSA keys, or cause other havok because the newer HW partitions are different. The customized version of Amon RA 1.8.0 is known to work correctly with these phones. I really would not tamper with it until CM devs state for a fact that they support the newer phones.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dis_dj_sin:
did you set your Environment Variables so it can see the adb shell through CMD? adb.exe won't work, all it does it open and close for me too. Try googling "How to set up adb". hopefully you put some effort into your research.

Good Luck
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
I know for certain CM works on my phone with hboot 2.10 & newest radio but my hardware is from launch day 003. Out of concern for what happened to others I flashed the newest Amon Ra from this post.

So my question is.... If this re-written Amon Ra is meant to work correctly on newer hardware phones is it not built to work properly with my launch day evo?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dis_dj_sin:
can you clear something up for me? Is it the newer HW that makes the partition different (as you are stating) or is it the new Hboot?

Or can the combination of 003 HW and new Hboot still have the newer partitions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] thaprinze:
After losing my RSA key's on my original Evo (even with many nandroid backups) I'd never willingly stick with ClockworkMod, but the Rom I like won't flash with Amon_RA. When I flashed it last time, everything went so smoothly. I didn't have an issue with anything. I flashed ClockworkMod, flashed my new rom, then flashed back to Amon_RA.

I tried looking through my docs, but I can't find the specs on that last phone. I know it was a HW version 003, and it had bootloader 2.02, but I don't know the rest of the specs. I'll post them if I find them.

Thanks. Guess it's time to search for a new favorite rom...
[EVO 4G Android Development] forum_user_99:
Ok thx. just to be sure, since I am seeing some updates to files. which instructions I have to follow. Is it in first post? Is it most current with all the updated files etc?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dis_dj_sin:
i think its the hardware change. this new phone you have is hw004, which causes for newer partitions. You got away with it last time because your hardware was the perfect 003 just with the newer Hboot.

You can search for a new rom in the mean time...until the devs get this resolved. I think there is a new recovery mod being made for clockwork to work for the new partitions
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogos:
Curious, what ROM is this? CyanogenMod 6.1.1 flashes fine with Amon RA 1.8.0.
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogos:
Download the most current zip, and then follow the OP guide.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dis_dj_sin:
^are you using HW 003?
[EVO 4G Android Development] thaprinze:
That's the strange thing. They're both HW003. I can't remember what all else was different, but I do know they were both 003 with HBOOT 2.02

I love the EVO-Non-Sense rom. It looks great, worked great for me, and let me keep my 4G. I've never used CyanogenMod, mostly because I don't want to lose 4G. I've seen that they've been able to get 4G working though, so I'll wait & see what happens.

Are there any roms you'd recommend (I would like to keep 4G working)? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogos:
Mostly used Sprint Lover's because I like a close to stock experience and it's pretty snappy.

I have used Myn's but you would probably need to flash kernel #15 if you have the latest radio.

Azreal X 3 looks promising, but I haven't tried it yet. If you like a closer to stock experience the same dev makes a stock turbo rom with the same tweaks.

CyanogenMod is nice so far been testing it a little. 4G shouldn't be too far away from the nightly builds, but with the CM team pushing hard on GB and version 7 it might be on the backburner.
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
Can anyone answer this for me. If ClockWork Recovery is working fine on my hboot 2.10 fully update 3.70 HW003 phone should I still switch to this custom modified Amon-Ra recovery? Is this new write build of his meant to only work for newer hardware phones that have different partitions or does it work with both newer hardware and my older one as well with original partitons?
[EVO 4G Android Development] VTEC4ME:
so, I got s-off on my evo finally.

Loaded the Sprint Lover's rom included in the file. Is there a reason why it shows that i'm using FW 2.1-update1????? I thought it should be 2.2? And my radio is 1.36.

I assume it was reverted to 2.1 to be able to use unrevoked and then I'm suppose to load in custom rom not in the package?????

It keeps scanning PC36IMG.ZIP and everytime I reboot it is getting stuck at white HTC EVO flash screen.
