THANKS

I already try that but it doesn’t work

With the original PC36IMG-ENG it will give me RADIO_v2- Fail-PU and it vibrates

BOOTLOADER-Fail-IC . Any thoughts:confused: Thanks for the fast response .
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
try doing the same thing with this file

http://www.multiupload.com/P4QL4DC90E

rename it to pc36img.zip copy it to the sd card and enter boot loader mode and it should flash

if that doesnt work get the officiall ruu.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrededStar87:
i cant get the adb command to work in terminal....any ideas on what i should do? I searched the internet and found out how to run adb through a MAC and followed the instructions and still got nothing....

[EVO 4G Android Development] letshaveDEX:
I'm glad to hear this, as I'm replacing my Evo in a few days with a brand new one . I had some worries maybe the new hardware would be trouble but now I'm eager to try this method again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DRatJr:
If we use the unrevoked 3.31 (or the newest one I forget the number) will we be able to flash any kernel / ROM combination unlike this guide?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mahdego:
i dont think i rooted correctly

I tried rooting my evo with this method and i feel as though everything went right. Well when I try to install wifi-tether app it says that the application failed to install. I had an old evo long time ago and never had a problem installing this app, now this new evo wont install. This makes me assume I have not rooted correctly, although I seem to be running the Sprint Lovers ROM (when I installed I had to take the battery out because it sat on the quietly brilliant screen). Please any advice would be helpful.

**Also, when I boot into bootloader the following messages pop up quickly:

PC36DIAG.zip

No Image

PC36DIAG.nbh

No image or wrong image

PC36IMG.zip

No image

PC36IMG.nbh

No image or wrong image

Thanks for your insight![/QUOTE]
[EVO 4G Android Development] devonparrish:
The only reason why you wouldn't be able to is because 3.70 is built differently than 3.30 and below so they would need to be coded for 3.70

Did you try the fix broken recovery part of thw guide? That should work for you :]
[EVO 4G Android Development] toddlmr:
A friend of mine tried to be a cowboy and root his wifes phone using this method and screwed up. I am trying to help him. He apparently did not obtain temporary root using z4root. Because s-on still exist. I believe his bootloader flashed new PC36img file. Problem is it

1) it will boot up into rom then shuts off after 3 minutes and reboots. Over and over again.

2) will not recognize (mount) sd card.

3) it will not recognize usb or charge usb. So no adb. It did when he started but not know.

Can anyone shed some light? Thanks for any info! Rest assured his wife is beating his butt as I type!

[EVO 4G Android Development] illogos:
If the first rom flashed then he did everything right. Select recovery at bootloader and continue with the process. I think step 10. Use adb to push temp recovery so you can flash unrevoked forever.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Try turning it off and then holding vol down when turning it back on, that should bring up the bootloader. From there select the recovery and check for ADB when you see the red triangle.

It sounds like its stuck in a boot loop which is actually normal.

Are you going to update the fix broken recovery link with the newest Amon Ra 2.1.1 zip file?

EVO root

HI :

I want to root my EVO have a data sw 3.29 Hboot 2.2 hardware 0003...

I can root with the image 8.6 ready post here ? or I need to upgrade to FOTA

V 3.70?

after I rooted the EVO !!! I can run upgrade with out problem?:)

what is the benefit of rooted EVO's? ....free apps ....cam resolution ....or what?????

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] sfld:
Has anyone tried the new amon-ra to see if it is working with the new hboot partitions? I know it says it does in his post, but i just want to know if i can stop using the pc36img.zip to reflash my recovery when coming from a diff recovery
[EVO 4G Android Development] leenypost:
That's why I was asking if the zip needed to be updated. Figured Zi would know since he helped working with the custom version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sfld:
Ya it sux lol because i use the custom clockwork mod for ps3 jailbreaking

and anytime i want to reflash a rom i have to go rename the zip then boot up to hboot lol

id rather just use the flash_image command much easier

if i remember right though i think zi said the only reason why we have to use his is because it is built for the new partitions, so i think amon's takes care of that
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
yup, his has been the only one that has been working the entire time. So far it looks pretty solid on older phones as well.

He actually had it fixed on his first try at it, not bad for not even owning an Evo

[/QUOTE]

I to would like to know what that means cause mine is the same why but i flashed a rom but when i flash a kernal it goes crazy. Reboots,power button does'nt work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DrededStar87:
thats not being an asshole, thats stating an opinion...an asshole statement would be: "EFFF YOUR MAC AND EFF YOUR COMMENT, GET A PC AND LEAVE THIS THREAD!!!" or something along those lines, idk. either way, going out and finding a PC is not something I can just do :/
[EVO 4G Android Development] toddlmr:
Thanks for your response. The usb will do nothing. So no adb.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
What about 'adb devices' while the red triangle is showing? If it tells you it is offline that is normal, otherwise you will need to stick with fastboot or using a card reader.
[EVO 4G Android Development] djflaco23:
will this method work with hboot .79 cause yesterday i tried the unrevoked and it just got an error. nothing happen to my phone. its been working good all day as usual.

please help. thanks in advanced

Yep you are the MAN i whent for the officiall RUU's:D Thanks.

:confused:Question 4 U , would you be able to tell what happened in my case (I was not able to get the second and third command on step #10:mad:) any help will be very much appreciated
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
for your second question, was there an # or an $ inside the shell? try the first command again. make sure the unrevoked hboot drivers and adb drivers are set up. try the first command a third time. it shoudl work if the first command worked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] vlbaston:
Im already rooted is there any way just to flash the new amon_ra 2.11 recovery? and if so can someone direct me to the zip, Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] djflaco23:
if i got hboot.79 then i can bypass the z4root part am i correct?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
if you have hboot .79, you are lucky. you can run z4root and then do toast's root part 2. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701835 . skip the nand backup step and do the rest. it should work. good luck.

edit: make sure to wipe before using z4root. this method will wipe you anyways so do it right before you start z4root.

edit: after you type adb shell in step 2, make sure screen is unlocked and type su. accept the prompt that comes.

hope this helps

I was able to use ADB and push the RECOVERY / 31 files ok but when I tried adb shell busybox --install /sbin, adb shell nohup /sbin/recovery & “permission denied” and I also tried ADB SHELL by it self and same thing “permission denied”:mad: and I didn’t have any of this symbols # or $ I was on c:\android\tools\ and when I push the RECOVERY / it will push whatever files but after that It will dump me on to c:\android\tools\ . I hope this can help you to help me:confused: THANKS fot the input :)

Questions if i open the .ZIP file PC36IMG-ENG or -MR how many files i'm supposed to have :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] slalomnut:
stuck at #10 with permission denied for sh?

I got stuck here because the file permission weren't set properly after the "adb push recovery /"

If this is your issue, change the permissions from the folder where you unzipped the hboot_2.xx_soff-V8.6.zip package.

chmod -R 744 recovery/system/bin/

chmod -R 744 recovery/sbin/

And then run "adb push recovery /" again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
did you recieve any error messages when you flashed the pc36img.zip? make sure you are cd'ed to the directory you extracted the files too and adb is set up. you shoudl be at a screen with a triangle and a !. make sure you are typing the code exactly.

adb push recovery /

adb shell busybox --install /sbin

adb shell nohup /sbin/recovery &

zikronix, it is saying something when more people are directed to you than a one click method (unrevoked). it is definetally saying something when yours works more.

Yes. I have used it and it works. I did not use this OP to root, but I have been using 2.1.1 with success.

Hello all, I have a few ?'s. I rooted my evo using unrevoked 3.3 which gave me a clockmod of 3.0.2, but I had the old style filesize erase partion of 2000, so I downgraded my clockmod recovery to 2.6.0.1.

I did a nand backup and yes my wimax file is also backed up. Everything is all good my big ? is with my root setup, can I flash any rom made for the evo without having to rename zip files, terminal commands etc.?

If not, what are the compatible roms I can use with my root setup method. Again I rooted with unrevoked 3.3, had to downgrade my clockrecovery to 2.6.0.1 because of my filesize erase partion of 2000. A list of compatible roms available for my setup would be nice. I really want to flash roms, but I keep seeing conflicting info, do this, dont do this, this might work, no this doesent work etc. sorry this is so long, but I just need concrete awnsers before flashing thank you very much in advance.

I was on hboot 2.02 when this all came out, back in Nov.. but I downgraded to .76......

my question is what is the difference with the new hboot..

should we just leave it as be, or should we have anything to gain if we were to update it to 2.02 or 2.10..

just a curious question, u know whatever works, sometimes its better to leave it be,

[EVO 4G Android Development] Esrek:
zikronix, you are amazing. I'm a first time android owner, about a month now, and this guide helped me. I had been waiting for a one click root method and was excited when unrevoked updated their method; unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I then decided to give your method a try, having never done anything like this before, and I was rooted in about 30 minutes (I read everything several times before proceeding to the next step, lol). Anyway, thank you so much.

5) Now were gonna install z4root. When its done look at your phone z4root should be running. Select temporary root... It will go thru the process will eventually come to a white screen *Wait* after a sec or so screen will come up saying temp root was a success. Ok so now type the following

adb -d install -r root/z4root.apk

adb sync

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.z4mod.z4root/com.z4mod.z4root.z4root

this step that i have in bold did not work for me. on the zip file that i downloaded this apk is named differently. its the same version zip 2.xx V8.6

i just went in and renamed it according to the instructions. but some ppl might struggle with it.

;)

Thanks for your help. i sent you $20 ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
hi again zikronix. so, what is the point of the new lines you added? specifically

adb -d install -r root/z4root.apk

adb sync

adb shell am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.z4mod.z4root/com.z4mod.z4root.z4root

shouldnt it be as simple as installing z4root and then hitting temp root? this seems like doing it twice. do you mind clearing the air for me?

4G issues

I ran through the root procedure and everything went well, I love having root. However, I have no 4G. I have tried 3 rom's, the sprint livers that came with this, OMJ, and now Fresh, however in all of them no 4G. so here is what i did:

test w/sprint lovers - nothing

tried OMJ - nothing

tried Fresh - Nothing

went through 4G broke procedure

renamed tree.xml

updated

rebooted

updated

checked RSA keys - seems fine but no busybox before the grep RSA - not sure if this is a problem or not.

I have hardware 003 and have not done anything related to rooting before this (unrevoked, etc) on this phone. when I turn on the phone it just says scanning and never finds anything.

I was going to flash the new radios that came with the Fresh Rom but wasn't sure if that would brick it if there was already something wrong so i have waited. any ideas??????
[EVO 4G Android Development] forceOnature:
I'm also getting this error when running "adb sync":

Any suggestions on how to proceed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
are you using the adb that came with the package my guess is you are not...and if you are...do you have adb installed somewhere else

use task manager to kill all instances of adb.exe and use the adb that came with the package
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
did you flash any other kernels. did you do a data profile and prl update...reflash the sprint lovers roms (latest build or the one from the package), boot into the rom and do a prl, profile update and reboot. try again
[EVO 4G Android Development] forceOnature:
I tried overwriting the adb.exe that was on my pc with the included one, but it still gave the error. I'm also not seeing any running instances of adb.exe to kill.

From what I understand, all that does is wait until a command is done before returning so I waited a while and then continued on to the next step. z4root executed normally.

Many, many thanks to zikronix for the help!

I have hardware version 0004, hboot 2.10 and build 3.70.651.1.

I originally ran unrevoked, and it failed with "Backup CID is missing", and left me partially rooted, and unable to proceed with other approaches.

Zikronix was able to get me back on track and rooted, basically by reflashing the recovery, and then flashing a rooted rom.

My only thought is to unroot and throw on a official ruu and reroot...but dammit I don't like that idea. Can I fix this without having to go through destructive means?

what rom are you running? any custom kernels?

because its supposed to be, you probably have an mtd0 part how did you try to access it.

What version is your hardware and what recovery are you running
