Nice glad it worked my co-worker just got his replacement phone a few day ago and i am about to root now but my question is after downloading the zip and extract to desktop.

:"Open the Command Window.

Go inside the "EVO" folder (The one wich is in the desktop)."

I just want to be sure on going into the EVO folder through the command window correct? If so I have forgot how to navigate to my extracted folder on desktop I will be running WIN 7 32BIT. First of all I have to finsh downloading the zip file which has failed 3 times already:(

Thanks in advance:D

Found out how to do it....stupid me but I still cant download the zip file???????
[EVO 4G Android Development] matthewmalk248:
Ok I'm sure noob question, but my eyes are bleeding from trying to read every post looking for this situation.

I successfully followed tutorial with no issues, and I am showing S-OFF in my hboot..

"SUPERSONIC EVT3 SHIP S-OFF

HBOOT-2.02.0000

MICROP-041f

TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac

RADIO-blah blah blah

OCT 14 2010 blah blah"

So I open terminal emulator but get $ permission denied when typing su

Which according to this..

"Q: My Phone says its not rooted.

A: If you have s-off your rooted. Simple as that. It says this because the second file you flash is just a stock rom with a modified recovery. Download SuperUser from the market and Titanium backup. Install busybox from titanium backup."

..I am technically rooted, but when I'm in the stock rom with a modified recovery, I downloaded SuperUser and Titanium backup but titanium can't access root, so I click "Problems" in Titanium and it attempts to download BusyBox but that fails as well.

1st Q, if I get SuperUser & Titanium working somehow, will I able to see if I have root in Terminal Emulator?

2nd Q, a, I doing something wrong?

[EVO 4G Android Development] AdamHart612:
Hi all.

Quick question. Launch day evo rooted with toasts 2 part. I lost recovery and am stuck in bootloops, and fastboot flashing recovery doesnt work. Loops on splash screen entering recovery and cant boot into the phone either. Is the pc36img-recovery.zip here specific for this root method? Is there a chance that it could give me recovery back or is it totally incompatible?

Thanks in advance!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] phonefixdfw:
just did a brand new out of box 004 hardware phone i got as insurance replacement. worked great
[EVO 4G Android Development] theultimatev:
I had this same problem and i eventually just went to the sprint store & got my phone replaced with warranty. Good luck!
[EVO 4G Android Development] dis_dj_sin:
has anyone tried using another recovery method after turning s-off using this method? I'm not clear on what the intro meant by saying "Using any other method to turn s-off or recovery can break 4G." Is this only during the rooting process, or through out the life of the new phone.

The reason being is because I just got a new evo from insurance and wanted to use the clockwork mod psfreedom edition to use on my ps3. This in itself is an entirely different recovery method. Any clarification would be helpful. Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] AdamHart612:
Thanks man. What did you do before returning it? I'm planning to unroot and return, however I cant get into the operating system so I will be doing a pc36img process. But it seems that it will still show s-off because I used toasts method. Did you run into any problems returning it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] theultimatev:
Well, while trying to fix my poor bricked evo i ran the RUU in hopes of fixing it. I didn't manage to fix it and i had to run the RUU 2 or 3 times before it worked but my S-ON came back. I also had an inverted white on black splash screen which went back to Black on white :) When going to the Sprint store don't say too much. Just say it crashed and won't reboot (which is probably the truth, or at least for me it was). They'll try to fix it, which they won't be able to and they will give you a brand new phone. They may say you tried to root, but most of them don't care since they can ship it back to HTC and get the money back. You should be fine, just you'll have a 2.02 hboot which will SUCK!!!...anyhow do you know why you are Bricked? i think i got bricked because i flashed a Rom update over a previous Rom (MIUI 11.12 over 11.05) and it had problems for 3 days before crashing.

Anyhow tell me if you find out what was wrong. GOOD LUCK!
[EVO 4G Android Development] AdamHart612:
Eh I couldnt tell you what did it. I flashed zendroid, it initially booted fine, good scores in quadrant etc. Decided to reboot to swap batteries. Turned the phone off, swapped them, turned back on and it bootlooped. So I went to nand restore and it looped trying to access recovery as well. Zendroid was a good download with correct md5sum, etc. Didnt do anything different then I have for the last two years. Fastboot flashing recovery didnt work and neither did flashing a few pc36imgs.

So thats how I got in this position haha. I was under the impression the phone needed to be able to boot into the operating system to run the ruu? Thats awesome if it doesnt, Ill be giving it a try as soon as I get home. Otherwise I was gonna try the pc36img from the "unroot in 2 steps" thread. But I really wanna make sure its gonna be s-on or at least have some reassurance that Sprint will take it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jejb:
Thanks!

Another thank you to add to the long list! I rooted my Sprint Evo 3.30.651.3, 2.02, 0004 phone today using this thread. Not too much drama. If I'd done a "clear storage" in bootloader instead of just booting the phone, I would not have had any issues at all! Oh well, live and learn. And coming from a long line of WM phones, it has been a learning experience so far.
[EVO 4G Android Development] superassassin:
Thanks for a great guide!

Seems to have worked for me since I am now running latest Fresh rom, and when I type adb shell I see #...

but this part has me confused, whenever I power on the phone while holding the volume down button, then choose recovery all I get is a picture of the red triangle... no green text!

Is this right?

I can pull the battery & reboot into the fresh rom without any issues, but it doesn't do this on my launch Evo I rooted back in June...

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] theultimatev:
Did you try the original battery again? possibly the issue? anyhow the RUU says you need to be booted but you can run it from bootloader without any issues. Though remember i had to run it a couple of times before i got it to run successfully.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theultimatev:
Do i need to Wipe all data?

So i bricked my first evo from not wiping on a rom upgrade, but i'm lazy and i don't want to put all that data back on. Do i need full wipe? Anybody do it without full wipe? Thoughts appreciated thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Onyoursix:
Sorry I'm a bit of a noob, I followed the instructions very close and I did everything right. My 4G/wifi isn't working. I tried to do the tree.xml fix and here is what I get

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

# ls /data/misc/wimax/

ls /data/misc/wimax/

sockets

#

no clue on what to do, also in checking my RSA keys I get this.

c:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb shell

# cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 | grep RSA

cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 | grep RSA

grep: not found

write: Broken pipe

#

Any help would be awesome, thanks =D
[EVO 4G Android Development] AdamHart612:
Yeah I've tried both batteries. It is charged too haha. Thanks for letting me know it can be run in bootloader. We'll see if it works!
[EVO 4G Android Development] carguy4471:
Will this work on previous HBOOT versions??
[EVO 4G Android Development] jejb:
I did not have to do a full wipe, just a clear storage from bootloader. I did the wife's phone last night in about an hour after learning that lesson on my phone earlier in the day yesterday. Smooth sailing all the way through after doing that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theultimatev:
What exactly does clearing storage do? sorry about all the questions but bricking my first smartphone put me into a state of caution
[EVO 4G Android Development] jejb:
It clears all the user settings. Basically does a "factory defaults" type reset on the phone, from what I can tell. When you reboot from it, it prompts you for your email/google acct info, etc. I just skipped all that stuff except the google acct stuff, and I probably could've skipped that, too. Then I just made sure USB debugging was on, and started executing the script in the first post. Worked perfectly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] theultimatev:
Thank you all for your help, I'll probably go through with this hack this weekend.

Just 1 last question:

Has anybody flashed MIUI with this hack? Idk if the kernel will work with this...
[EVO 4G Android Development] roadkingg:
Sorry for the Noob Question....

Can this be done and not flash a new ROM? I just want root. New phone is arriving today.
[EVO 4G Android Development] runningnak3d:
The ROM you are left with when you are done is NOT a rooted ROM. If you want a stock ROM that is rooted, flash Sprint Lovers or Steel. Your only other choice is to use one of the ROM building tools and root the stock ROM yourself.

Hi guys I've run into a problem.

In an attempt to root my evo it is now stuck at the main screen

I can enter the hboot screen I've tried to clear data only to be stuck at the main screen.

Any way to get my phone back to its normal working state?

Its not rooted as it still say S-On

Its now going past the main screen but its taking me to the red triangle screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
You can install super user from the market and titanium backup as well you can install busybox through titanium back up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ratherDashing:
Just followed this guide and it worked perfectly! (Brand new white htc 4g)

I made a bat file for the first section and it made it pretty easy and I didn't have to sit around while it pushed files.

Guide worked perfectly although I was a little concerned when it got stuck at a HTC white screen and I had to remove the battery (step 12c) but when it came back on I felt really good when I saw the S-OFF in the top right.

Pushing and flashing Myn's afterwards was a blast too and the rom is wonderful. I didn't really play with the stock one but I like this phone better than my girlfriend's iphone.

Thanks for all of your hard work guys!

EVO 4g Root doesnt work with unrevoked

I just got my EVO 4g about a week ago. I tried rooting it on a PC using this method.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765496 And everything went fine until i got to the section with the Blue Star and had to use unrevoked. Unrevoked would just quit halfway through. So then i gave up and did the software updates through spring and have been using my phone as is but the camera and 4g and hotpsot dont work. It makes me think that my phone is rooted but i need to flash a ROM? Does anyone know what I can do from here? I tried Using your Instructions For Fixing the Broken.. But when I went into botloader it never asked me if i wanted to flash the Revcovery file. Should I Unroot my phone and start over? With your new hboot? Pleasse Help!

Thanks!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
I had a batchfile written for while. However when you get into the advanced stuff it would run into timing issue. But for the basic push it works. Cool

[EVO 4G Android Development] jerdog:
Just cannot get past the permission issue installing busybox.... used older versions of your process on another Evo and it worked - but my new one I got as a replacement isn't working.

And in the instructions we push PC36IMG-MR and PC36IMG-ENG.... but we never do anything with PC36IMG-MR....?

EDIT: Nevermind - had to switch computers and try again - finally worked and I came to the spot to rename the file.... let's see how this all works

[EVO 4G Android Development] StylesC2:
OK I am new to Android rooting but have managed to follow along the tutorials. Here is my problem:

I just got my stock 2.2 HTC Evo today

it is hardware version 0004

has hboot 2.02

I have gotten through all of the steps above but at step 10 I get: "error: device offline".

I have already tried 2 different computers (one without HTC Sync or any of those drivers except for the hboot ones i got from the wiki site) and still nothing. I even checked, and both are active under device manager as ADB whatever. I have tried both Windows 7 64 bit as well as Windows Vista 32 bit. I have tried everything that I can think of to try and access the phone in recovery mode in cmd to no avail. If there is anything else that I may be missing please let me know. Like i said, all of the other steps that I performed gave me no problems at all. Just can't seem to get into the "recovery (green screen with text)" mode.
[EVO 4G Android Development] AdamHart612:
If not I hope soon. I was about to try setting up the dual boot rom hack with miui as the second rom when the first phone bricked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ratherDashing:
FYI DOS Batch files can execute a "sleep" command.

I seperated all the commands in the first page into 3 batch files that just needed to be double clicked. In between I had to follow your directions as to what to click on the phone. It was all very simple and kept me from typing something dumb in :)

Thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jejb:
Sounds like your recovery directory never got created in the initial upack, or you are running from the wrong place. You are running those commands from the directory where you ran the other commands, right? In that directory, you should see other directories-PC36IMG, RECOVERY and ROOT-along with the ADB.EXE file and a couple of dll's. You can do a "dir" from the command window to check.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ohsoevo:
Your correct.

I extracted the zip into my C drive (Windows 7)

& for some odd reason it wouldn't allow the recovery dir to be created there.

I figured it out thou. I renamed the recovery dir and pushed the files from the new dir.

Worked like a charm thanks for the help :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] kevinditra:
Thanks so much, got my phone rooted and i have the Fresh ROM. I think I need to install Amon_RA recovery because everytime i go into recovery mode i get the red triangle and i type into the terminal the code you have posted to break through that red triangle. But when i went to go install RA recovery it says i need to make sure that i have NAND unlocked. does your method unlock NAND or do i have to do something else?

[EVO 4G Android Development] krispix:
I am new to Android and these instructions were very easy to follow. I was able to root my Evo and flash to the MIUI Rom.

The only little quirk is I still receive the red triangle when I try to go into recovery. I am able to get pass the red triangle by following Step 10, but is there a simpilar way to get into recovery without having to plug the phone into my PC and open the command prompt?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Morphean:
Scroll down and you will see a fix for that.

"FIX BROKEN RECOVERY"

This is really only needed if you rooted with one of the previos guides version 6 or lower or if you installed a different recovery like I told you not to.

NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO RELOAD YOUR ROM MOST LIKELY AFTER THIS SO YOU MAY WANT THAT HANDY AND COPIED TO THE ROOT OF YOUR SD CARD. RESTORING A NANDROID MAY NOT WORK

1) Download File above PC36IMG_Recovery.zip and Rename to PC36IMG.zip.

copy to the root of your SDCard and power off phone

2) Power your phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen. It will read the pc36img.zip and as you if you want to flash. Say yes. Then it will ask if you want to reboot, VOL+UP for yes.

3) If your rom gets tossed in the process. Reboot your phone into bootloader select recovery, and reflash your rom....DONE

Got my phone rooted using this method... and i am running the New fresh EVO 3.4.0.1 and I flashed the new Radio and PRI and then I updatded the profile and PRL... However my I rarely get a 4g signal to work and the 3g is soo slow. Does this have to do with rooting the phone or does it have to do with the ROM i am using? The most important thing for me is getting a wifi-tether with 4g i dont really care all that much about all the other ****, I just did this because i thought my phone would run better and get better battery life. Now I am thinking of unrooting. But i don't even know if that would help at this point. Any Ideas anyone?

i'm not sure if anyone else has success flashing a custom kernal BUT i'm using the Burnt Droid rom 1.3 which comes with 2.6.32.25-netarchy-toastmod-4.2-cfs-bfq-nohavs-smartass from netarchy and so far camera and camcorder works. I haven't tried 4g yet since I have not activated the phone (waiting for my zagg case).

Now just to be clear, I followed the steps point to point. I did get 2 errors (bootloader and something else) in step 9, and I flashed this rom as soon as I finished the backup. So this rom is flashed over the stock rooted rom. I'm not sure if this makes a difference with the kernal being used as well but hey, it worked
[EVO 4G Android Development] jejb:

My wifi and 4g no longer work. Everything seemed to go fine. I get

grep: not found

when I enter cat dev/mtd/mtd0 | grep RSA

4G did work before I did this.

Also it says I am not rooted when I installed wifi tether. I then downloaded Superuser and Titianium Backup busy box. No luck!!
