Just rooted my EVO using your guide, worked perfectly. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmdrogogov:
can we upload the original file to a faster host? I've been trying to download this all evening and have been timing out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] IMiLL102911:
Thanks alot. I followed this guide to the T and it worked for me!
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
host is up and strong...but its getting hammered at the moment. I just pulled 157KB off the site. The average is about 5-600

I rather not host it somewhere else simply for the fact that if I find an error in the file i rather not have it floating around there some where...but im uploading it to another host at the moment

can someone help me, i'm trying to root my brand new evo with hboot 2.02 using windows 7 32, but when i type adb devices it doesn't detect my phone, same thing if i do the first line on the tutorial, I need this done tonight if someone help me I'll greatly appreciate
[EVO 4G Android Development] thedgtl:
LOL same exact situation here. I'm glad I found this thread. working perfectly now, Wifi tether over 4G now. Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] catino1:
Thank you for your help -- clearest example how to root the Evo.

Illigos helped out tremendously as well especially for someone who has never rooted a phone before.

One question, are there any issues in using rom manager at this point to manage my roms or will i have to stick with the one recommended when i rooted the phone?

Thank you again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmags5:
I was at the Red Triangle & entered the push recovery command.

I'm now stuck in a white HTC screen even after attempting "clear storage".

I'm screwed right?

Anybody have any ideas of how I can sweep up my mess & get my phone working?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan330:
hi all,

My new White EVO should be here tomorrow.

I have a Hero and it is ROOTED.. and I love playing with new ROMS and testing new things out.

This seems a little .. just a little complex.

is there a one-click method out yet for these new HBoot 2.02 phones yet?

What is the S-off ?? why is it an issue ?

Thanks ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jesuscakes:
Have the files been hosted on a server that doesn't have AIDs? I am getting 32kbs which comes out to about 4 hours of download time. Can someone megaupload or similar it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jesuscakes:
I am still downloading the file believe it our not. Whoever owns this server please die. I am going to properly host the files once this download is completed. This **** is going slower than dial up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jerry6185:
Tell me about, Im downloading at 31kB/s when i should be getting at least 400kB/s.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmdrogogov:
sorry to labor the point but my download failed again.

I'm giving up for the time being.... so far i've gotten the file three times and the archive is corrupted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
Working on it

You could not chose to root your phone. Or you can opt to pay my hoting bill? I mean 1.3 terabytes of data in 15 days its not that expensive. You may host it some where else but im in the process of updating the file now...Im also uploading it to a mirror as I type

Working on it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
And actually im not seeing a problem
[EVO 4G Android Development] jesuscakes:
That's your own fault for hosting it on your server. There is a reason every single other person uses multiupload or similar. I am sorry for being a ****, but it's frustrating because you obviously are a very smart guy who should know better. Thanks for the work, and I plan to donate if I can ever get the file.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
Hosting it on my server is my choice...I used to host it on other servers as well...but until about version 7 i was changing the link non stop...

but I just pulled the file down at 500KB with out a problem....so im not sure what the deal is.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xtrigit:
Does this work with newer phones? 2.2, 3.30.651.3 ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] t3project:
anyone? also after flashing the initial pc36img.zip the bootloader is supposed to be downgraded to the ENG bootloader correct? if so, mine does not do this.

You think that is slow?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
yes it works
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
hmm im not seeing the issue...but im uploading it to some mirrors now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] animal7296:
Not sure. Ill wait for the mirrors
[EVO 4G Android Development] cmdrogogov:
putting up a torrent might be a good solution to this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xtrigit:
Thanks! It would suck to spend 6+ hours downloading a file and find out it doesn't work :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
i did think about that...

im not saying there isnt an issue but like i said im not seeing it. I am building a new version but I am pushing the current version to multi upload now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] animal7296:
I would be willing to upload a Torrent for you if you dont mind. After I get it downloaded that is. LOL
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
we can do that as long as you kill the torrent when i change the file
[EVO 4G Android Development] animal7296:
No problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xtrigit:
The download timed out after 15mb.
[EVO 4G Android Development] animal7296:
He's working on a mirror and then I will upload as a torrent too. Give a few mins.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
mirror has 5 minutes to go
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
mirror up no torrents needed
[EVO 4G Android Development] animal7296:
Ok. Let me know if you change your mind.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xtrigit:
How do I install the drivers, if I install htc sync, will that do it? Also, where can I find the unrevoked hboot drivers?

Thanks for the download, btw.

Running on Windows 7 64-bit.

I offlined my server....using the mirrors for a while

Should I be able to open the PC36IMG-ENG.zip file?

I want to make sure everything downloaded okay. When I double click the PC36IMG-ENG.zip file that's included in the hboot202-s_off-V8.zip file I get a message that "start of central directory not found; Zip file corrupt. Possible cause: File Transfer Error"

Is this expected or was my download bad? FYI, this was the second download attempt. Please advise. Thanks!

Help!

I started with a new EVO fresh from the repair center. I followed all directions, got to 12b, where I was supposed to power off and Press Pwr and VOL up/down. This no longer results in any action, I feel three vibrations, but nothing happens. The phone will boot but I can no longer connect via usb/adb as it does not recognize the device. If I understand correctly, I am using the old ROM and cannot flash to the current ROM, how can I proceed?

[EVO 4G Android Development] ground beef:
Yeah, my md5 matches as well, but the PC36IMG-ENG.zip still gives me the error. I guess it shouldn't be extractable?

No your not supposed to extract that. Just the main zip.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bleeman:
Sorry for the bump but I need some help here
[EVO 4G Android Development] chogardjr:
Make sure go back and read the instructions where you found it. Most PC36IMG.zip files update through Hboot. My guess is you were supposed to rename it to PC36IMG.zip and reboot to Hboot and let it update there.

Thanx Guys!

Edit: This my first time reading OP page n lil confused w the update part right below the this will work on the 2.10 hboot, now do those two go hand in hand? Sorry for being dumb right now..

[EVO 4G Android Development] Vegasden:
With the new HBoot 2.10 I am also getting hung up @ #6.

Following the instructions, I get the "device not found".

This is a screen cap of my command box...not sure what it means to "restart server on desktop". Only way I could get the PC to recognize it was reboot the phone..but that just starts the entire process over.

Unfortunately Win7 64...no access to 32 bit. 002 model
[EVO 4G Android Development] taicor:
nevermind. ruu tool finally worked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmags5:
What do you know? I got lucky.

I flashed the new OTA update & my phone seems to be working as it should.

Thanks for any consideration that was given to helping me out with being stuck in the splash screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vinconti:
I can't, for the life of me, get the new recovery to stick. i have tried both the full method as per the guide on first post, as well tried flashing the "broken recovery" PC36IMG_recovery.zip. Also tried extracting the .img file from there and "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", but got an error. tried recopying flash_image and running that via an elevated adb terminal, no dice.

everythign else, however, worked and I have s-off with the 3.70 rom.

Does anyone know if this version of recovery is just Amon's 1.8, or is it different?

hw0003 hboot 0.76

edit: got it working by just reflashing the PC36IMG.zip file like 6 f#cking times. the version of Amon reported is 1.8.0, but i don't know if it was further customized past that. if not, you can probably also use the instructions here if the OP directions didn't work for you with the PC36IMG file. As I said, that is the only thing that worked for me, after my 7th flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
even thought the recovery says 1.8.0 it is indeed different
[EVO 4G Android Development] marclile:
I'm having problems with the recovery as well. It worked even after I had the 3.7 rom and the new hboot and everything. But now I can't get back in to recovery. I get to the bootloader, choose recovery, but then it just sits at the splash screen, it never actually gets into the recovery console.

Hopefully Amon is working on it. I just think his recovery is having problems with the new hboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vinconti:
I think I figured out mine. when I flash the new radios from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485, it kills my recovery. I don't think my issue actually had to do with anything related to this forum, or if it did, it was something specific to this recovery and that set of radios.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
well.... i flashed the 3.70 ruu on my main evo and now i get the the step after you root the shell and it says device not found till i reboot tried three different computers and redownloading everything so i guess it is safe to say that it doesn't work for the new hboot :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vegasden:
That's what I am thinking after my post last night (showing the same "device not found error") I tried a couple times this am with no success in getting past #6.

I also just installed the Hboot drivers and tried again...again I get to #6 and device not found (I even disconnected the phone from the PC a number of times with no success. In looking at the Device Manager instead of a separate entry for "Android Bootloader Interface" I am now seeing the phone under Disc Drives as "HTC Android Phone USB Device".
[EVO 4G Android Development] eclipse13:
Having the same issue flashing the modified Amon Ra. I actually had clockwork working but decided better safe than sorry. Afer flashing the PC36IMG when I try to go into recovery it just hangs at the white HTC screen. Any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vinconti:
i ran into the same thing. for me it was the radio component of this multi-radio package. You can flash all the others, PRI, NV, wimax, but not the radio. you might be able to flash an older version of the radio, but you won't need to because the fix for this comes with the second-to-most recent radio anyway.

how i fixed it; pull the battery, put it back in and turn the phone on. leave it, don't try to bring up the bootloader by pressing volume buttons, just leave the phone for like 20 minutes (or until it boots). If, after 20 min, it isn't booted, do it again. and a third time. it took me four tries. download this RUU and then run it. for me, it choked and gave a usb error. thats ok, without unplugging your phone or touching it after the error, run the RUU program again. After it is don,e the phone should work. but then you will have to flash the recovery again. Download this, rename it to PC36IMG.zip, put it on your sd card, and flash it. if, at the bootloader screen, you have S-ON (which I didn't), you have to go through the whole rooting process again. then you can flash these radios again, except for the main radio itself.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eclipse13:
WOW thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't quite as hosed I can still boot up normally just fine just couldn't get back into recovery. I can confirm I did update my radio as well so that seems to be what is breaking the recovery image. Anyhow I was able to boot normally and reflash clockwork via rom manager. My 4G is still working fine as it was before. I know its not recommended so try at your own risk but its working for me right now. I really don't want to go through the whole process again. Think I will wait for an update from AmonRa to fix it. Sent you thanks though hopefully it helps others as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vinconti:
no problem. zikronix told me earlier that the version 1.8 of Amon which is posted in his original post is different than the regular version of Amon 1.8. I am now running the one he has in the OP, so i know it works, if you would rather not risk the loss of 4g with clockwork. you just flash the pc36img_recovery.zip, as per his instructions, after you fix the white screen
[EVO 4G Android Development] Virus:
ok guys i think i might have got it to work almost done :) just skip that step and take out the battery hold volume down and power then let it apply the PC36IMG.zip then follow the next steps and it should work

if you notice even with the new hboot the s is still off so i think this is going to work i will report back in a few
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogos:
I had a fun time today with a HW 0004 model. I let the bootloader flash a PC36img.zip of the new OTA. It was a rip of the full RUU so it updated wimax, prl, nv, and hboot to the newest versions. After that for the life of me I was having the hardest time regaining root.

I used this method to S-OFF on 2.02, and I still had S-OFF so that was fine. The trouble I was seeing was getting RA recovery back onto the device. Yes people, the RUU and OTA does indeed overwrite your custom recovery, but that should be expected.

Anyway, it was not possible for me to fastboot install recovery because remote access was denied over usb. Also, I could not get adb to install it because I could not obtain #. Rageagainstthecage was failing to root the console. It was just killing adb until phone reboot.

SOLUTION: Others have mentioned it, but if you are already S-OFF you can regain custom recovery by downloading just the PC36img-recovery.zip from the OP. This was intended to fix broken recoveries of people using earlier revisions of the guide. Rename this file to just PC36img.zip and put it in the root of your sdcard(you can adb push PC36img.zip /sdcard/ --this only works if the zip file is in the same directory as adb). Then just reboot into the boot loader and let it find the file, and say yes to flash when asked. After that is done you should be able to get back into RA recovery. Download the latest signed superuser zip from xda, switch over to USB toggle, put it on the root of the sd card, and then flash from zip. This will get you superuser to use in the OS. You should now be stock rooted with a custom recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] animal7296:
I get an error after checking pc36img that the HBOOT is older
[EVO 4G Android Development] eclipse13:
Fixed my problem simply by repeating steps 11-13 from the OP. Reloaded the sprint lovers rom with the modified AmonRA and I'm good to go. Seems alot easier that way. Now I guess I have to manually update everything but the radio.
