zikronix,

welcome to what i started to deal with at the beginning reason why i didnt want to make the tool at first. But now its gotten to the point i have to effing finish it and have it work wonderfull 7.5 is doing great.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
I made some **** like this back in the day...using send keys and ****...I thought about wrapping it up into a vbs...that ran like a virus....just ****ing did it...LOL however...that wasnt nice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] takeheart:
Just hit step 18, updated PRL and Profile, and am about ready to do a Nandroid, but just want to state that 4G is now going through the "Scanning-Connecting-Disconnecting" loop. Is that to be expected at this point in the process?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
no not really...updating the prl and profile and rebooting try it again.

if that doesnt work do the tree.xml fix under the faq page

then try it if it works after that...then do your nand
[EVO 4G Android Development] takeheart:
Gotcha. Thought it would be pertinent to make sure I wasn't about to Nand myself into a hole. Thanks again
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
takeheart,

Did you update to the .30 ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] takeheart:
All I've done to this phone from stock are the instructions which are contained within this thread, so no, I didn't.

Edit: I assume http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=837003 is what you're referring to? Should I throw the zip on my sd card and flash that in Amon RA?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
last night with the 3 people i worked with it didnt matter. all they had to do was the prl /profile and reboot. Granted that may not be the case for every one...

but their rsa keys were there as well

My EVO arrived yesterday:

SUPERSONIC EVT2-3 SHIP S-ON

MICROP-041f

TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac

RADIO-2.15.00.09.01

Oct 14 2010, 19:14:47​

Other info:

Hardware version 0003

Baseband version 2.15.00.09.01

Kernel version 2.6.32.15-g0f673ed, htc-kernel@u18000-Build-149 #10

Build number 3.30.651.2 CL271968 release-keys

Software number 3.30.651.2

PRI Version 1.77_003

PRL Version 60671​

Can someone explain the benefit of performing the step at the end that flashes the radios?

How can I tell if the radios that shipped on my phone are the same as the ones included in this tool?

Anyone else have the brand new OTA 3.30.651.3 update appear on their stock EVOs today? I googled it and it appears to be an incremental release to fix the qik/camera reboot issue. I'm guessing I should avoid installing it if I want to root and install a custom ROM, just in case?

My goal here is to get to CyanogenMod, camera or not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] macpat83:
zikronix you still need that information you asked me for in the PM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
1: Always suggested new radios, could provide better recption/battery life/data speeds, etc

2: They are dont worry about it.

3: You can install the ota it doesnt matter the process is the same. But it also doesnt matter because yoru downgrading the phoen any way....which is another reason you want to flash your radios.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
if you have it...if not no biggy.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
ok im going home...ill check in an few
[EVO 4G Android Development] takeheart:
So this is curious: I do a ls /data/misc/wimax and all this is all I get:

C:\hboot>core\adb-windows.exe shell

# ls /data/misc/wimax

ls /data/misc/wimax

sockets

#

I know when I last tried this, there was a file in there...
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
there wont be one until it connects...you can create one too...turn on your 4g then off run the tree.xml follow it if its not in there....reboot profile update and try again...if not. reboot one more time try to connect. if it doesnt work...reboot and do the recovery steps and proceed.

It should come back once you update the radios and everything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] takeheart:
Tried all that and it's simply not generating anything.. When you say "reboot and do the recovery steps and proceed", what exactly do you mean?

Edit: I assumed you meant to continue on with the process, so that's what I'm doing. I have loaded Myn's RLS 3 and am attempting to get 4g working. I was able to do the tree.xml trick just now. Initial rename/load 4G did nothing, so I am now running a PRL/Profile update and going through the reboot / try again process..

Edit 2: SUCCESS! Doing the Tree.xml trick, updating Profile and PRL, and rebooting and I am now connected to 4G! Thank you so much for taking the time to walk me through this, you have a donation incoming.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
cool...told you and thanks for the donation.

[EVO 4G Android Development] maromas:
Help please

:mad:stuck again what FFFFFFFXXXXXX

Now on step #10 when i put "adb shell busybox --install /sbin" it gives me - exec '/system/bin/sh' failed permission denied (13) -
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
are you rooted? that means an # instead of an $. try

adb shell su

or maybe try the push command again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] maromas:
Thanks

i don't think i'm rooted and when i put adb shell i get the same error " permission denied (13) -"

you mean by pussing command again open a new window??
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
did the pc36img.zip flash correctly? thats all i can think of...
[EVO 4G Android Development] maromas:
well when it finish reading it said that the RADIO -Fail-PU and the phone started to vibrate for a bit .but in here says that is normail (9) Once your phone is in the boot loader highlight bootloader, and press the power button. It will load the PC36IMG File...When it ask you to flash press VOL-UP. You will notice that it says bootloader bypassed and maybe some other errors. Dont worry this is normal. Once the flash of the file is done it will ask to reboot, Select NO by Pressing VOL-DOWN. Now some people have gotten some errors here and there during the flashing just continue as normal) .
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
ok r u sure u uninstalled htc sync? what about the hboot drivers?
[EVO 4G Android Development] maromas:
yes everthing alse when well . i'm going to open a new window cmd and i will post pack

update = i opened a new cmd and pushed "recovery" and it when in no errors

but i tride adb shell by it self and "permission denied"
[EVO 4G Android Development] xsocaltrashx:
Anyone stuck on step 7?

when installing the flash_image file onto your phone

check what directory the shell pushed the file into

For me it was in data/local/j/flash_image

Hope this helps, took me a day to figure out by myself
[EVO 4G Android Development] markinsf:
S-on - STUCK!!

Hey there,

I followed the steps so so carefully and something went wrong while trying to root my EVO.

1. When it boots it says S-on - I understand if the phone is rooted this should say S-off

2. It would try to load the PC36IMG.zip image and get to the last step and then say something like image failed.

3. Then I tried the "Fix Broken Recovery" at the beginning of this thread (replaced the PC36IMG.zip with a different on)

4. Now I am stuck on the bootloader screen - can't get anywhere

5. I've tried booting into recovery and just see the red triangle and nothing happens

Can anyone offer this idiot noob some advice to get his phone working?

I thought if I followed each step carefully I wouldn't have any trouble but it looks as if I may be screwed.

My phone's info is:

Baseband Ver:

2.15.00.11.19

Kernel Ver:

2.6.32.17-gee557fd

Software number:

3.70.651.1

[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
start over...either you didnt push mtd-eng properly or the first pc36img.zip is corrupt.

run an md5 check on the entire package and see if the md5 matches
[EVO 4G Android Development] markinsf:
Thanks for the help - wow that was fast. I replaced the PC36IMG.zip with the original one and am back to the first problem:

The update starts, I get "Radio_V2 - Failed-PU", everything else is "OK," and at the very end the BOOTLOADER says "Fail-IC" Image check fail! Update Fail! Do you want to reboot device?

When I reboot it goes to the recovery screen (red triangle). Any suggestions for idiot NOOObster here?
[EVO 4G Android Development] maromas:
Same boat here:rolleyes:

At least you are getting HELP from the "MASTER ZIk"

I'm at the screen with the red triangle can access shell from here this sucks bad:(
[EVO 4G Android Development] markinsf:
Figured it out! Panicked when step 9 went awry and then forgot about trying these steps:

adb push recovery /

adb shell busybox --install /sbin

adb shell nohup /sbin/recovery &

With any luck you should be at a recovery (green screen with text)

11) Select enable USB-MS. This will mount your sdcard. Look in the root of your sdcard and you should have two files. One named PC36IMG.zip and one named PC36IMG-MR.zip. Rename the file named PC36IMG.zip to PC36IMG-ENG.zip and then rename PC36IMG-MR.zip to PC36IMG.zip when your done follow the instructions on your phone to disable usb (press power) then proceed to step 12

12) Now Select flash zip from the menu and choose unrevoked-forever.zip. Wait for it to complete. Select Reboot from the menu.​
[EVO 4G Android Development] markinsf:
If you are at the screen with the red triangle, connect yer phone to yer PC with the USB cable and commence with Step 10 (command prompt, ADB dir, ADB commands as listed).

Good luck! My phone is booting now! Looking forward to getting rid of the Sprint crap and getting wifi tether!

Master Zik.. beer money is forthcoming! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] djtonyb33:
Thank you thank you thank you!

Had a few glitches during install, but they were my fault. I had this phone for about 24 hours, and have no experience with Android... I have full root with the included Sprint Lover's rom, and I am loving this phone! 4G and Wifi working great, but I'm going to have to do more 4G testing in a better reception area. My tip to noobs - read through all steps, then read it again, then read it again before you start. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] maromas:
good you made it!!

Dam bro good to you: )

Actually I'm at step 10 adb shell will denide my command for some reson. :mad:

Hey bro would you be able to email me the files that you used to root you phone thanks. My email maromas381@gmail.com

Hey everyone, I am stuck and need help. I used this guide to the to to root my sister's phone with the newest OTA. I have the root and everything and get to the point where i need to push recovery ( adb push recovery /

) and it doesnt work. what can be the problem? thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] stargaterules:
Never mind, I figured it out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dcharleyultra:
What was the fix?

Swyped from my Evo 4G using Tapatalk
[EVO 4G Android Development] Double_R:
I'm having the same problem but for me I get stuck at step 10.

1.adb push recovery /

2. adb shell busybox --install /sbin

3.adb shell nohup /sbin/recovery & adb push recovery /

I was able to do 1.

but this is what I get when I try to command 2. and 3.

C:\Users\eddiemon\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell busybox

-install /sbin

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Permission denied (13) -

C:\Users\eddiemon\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell nohup /

in/recovery &

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: Permission denied (13) -

any help?

thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
i see the problem.

there should be nothing after & in line 3. it is just adb shell nohup /sbin/recovery &

it should work. if not, type adb shell and make sure you have a #. if u get a $ then something is wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] devonparrish:
Hey does anyone have a link to the latest ruu? I cant find one for 3.70 and I kinda need it, thanks :D

EDIT: Oh shizzzz, I found it. XD
[EVO 4G Android Development] Double_R:
I went back to STOCK thank god, almost 24 hours of trying to root..and got stuck on step 10.

I think I'm just going to wait for unrevoked 3.3

doing it manual seems too complicated.

but thank you for trying to help.

noob <----- first timer makes me want to stick with stock which I will until I'm comfortable to root it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
unrevoked is out but untrusted because it uses clockworkmod.
[EVO 4G Android Development] devonparrish:
The only problem with the new clockworkmod is that generating the md5 sum while making a nand backup takes FOREVER. 4G is safe now
[EVO 4G Android Development] Double_R:
Hmmm does that mean I have to wait until proven...
[EVO 4G Android Development] devonparrish:
It's pretty safe, tons of people have already used it with tons of success. I'd go ahead and do it if I were you, but if you're really concerned about it, backup your 4g keys first using the method in the OP
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
yep its safe. if it is giving u trouble, just flash the fix broken recovery file at the end of the op.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Double_R:
yea I did that already. I have it saved in my computer and my sd card.. I know the 4g key is very important.

I might give it a try to unrevoked if ppl are having success at it.

still reading up about rooting. and what I can and cannot do with it. the only real reason why I wanna root is because of this crappy video camera blurr... went on vacation and took some photos and videos turn out very crappy. I was told if I got rooted there will be acouple of scripts to fix the blurr issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] YenahsYenzow:
PERFECT!

Just got the Evo for my wife. Came with 0004, 2.10 Hboot and the 3.70 software.

Yesterday I used Unrevoked 3.3, which worked as it should and switched to amonRA since CWM had flashing issues. Installed Fresh 3.5 rom. S-OFF.

Unfortunately, I CANNOT flash any files that require mounting to the /SYSTEM yet the same files flashed fine on my 0003, 2.02, Fresh 3.5 rom using Toast's method as of June 2009, so I decided to start over on my wife's Evo and did this method EXACTLY as STATED. No hiccups or any issues!

THANKS zikronix!

At last after using this root method, I could flash files that require writing to /SYSTEM.

Again...READ AND FOLLOW EVERY DAMN STEP before you ask stupid questions based on your mistake! Simple as that!
[EVO 4G Android Development] YenahsYenzow:
Read my post above. DON'T ROOT USING UNREVOKED. I HAD ISSUES FLASHING SOME FILES after rooting BECAUSE OF UNREVOKED, until I started over and used this method...everythings working the way it should be!
[EVO 4G Android Development] manacho:
I have to repeat step 10 each time I want to get into recovery to update something. It's like the recovery image won't save? Otherwise everything is fantaboulous. How can I get my recovery image to be permanent?
[EVO 4G Android Development] sminker:
just wanted to say thanks for this method. super easy. although i was kinda sweating during the process and praying to the phone gods that nothing went wrong.

all went great, easy as pie. just need to be prepared. thanks again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] djflaco23:
Lol, sounded like me 2 weeks ago when I used ver.8.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
It becomes permanent if you finish the damn tutorial. Flash unrevoked forever, flash the second pc36 and then be happy. Idk y u would post if u haven't finished the tutorial.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
Glad to hear it
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
updated main package

[EVO 4G Android Development] djflaco23:
So I rooted with this method 3 weeks ago, worked great. should I upgrade the new version of sprint lovers rom, our stay with what I got. And I never flashed a new rom before, can somebody please help me with this.Thanks in advance

I already did mybackuppro of my contacts and apps
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
Thats your choice. It you want to flash the new Sprint lovers
[EVO 4G Android Development] JCorona:
Sweet this method worked perfect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] strauss0829:
Worked flawless for me with the help of BThomas22 ..Rooted and stock for now
[EVO 4G Android Development] m0nk33:
Thank You...

Rooted a brand spanking new evo, flawless! I've never done anything quite like this and your instructions were superb. I read for two days and determined this would be my method. Thank you for giving me my phone back!!!

After that little stunt HTC/Sprint pulled installing the blockbuster, Nova, etc. without anyone's permission, for me, it was root or cancel with Sprint.

:DSuper Newb Unleashed!!!:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] blueridgedog:
Why not:

dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd0 of=/sdcard/wimax.img

You can push dd if it is available...I will test it today.

Update: This fails...it appears to not be a partition that dd can read
[EVO 4G Android Development] JinB:
Should I run the update before attempting this root?

I'm stock with 3.30 and I have not accepted the update to 3.70.

Other specs are 0003 and 2.02.

I've been reading this stuff for months and I think I've just gone into overload...

Others have said just do the new unrevoked, but that one still has issues with cw (I think).

I wish the front page was a little more specific, ie "if you're sitting on 3.30 don't update to 3.70 before doing this" or "if you're sitting on 3.30, update to 3.70 first".

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] playya:
Don't update I can tell you that and from what I have read they have fixed CW over at unrevoked. No need to upgrade since these methods work on both HBoots
[EVO 4G Android Development] kaomie:
I tried to root and was unsuccessful, so I just want to go back to normal. I have the recovery image on my sd card, but it does not ask me if I want to update, what can I do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kaomie:
How did you get back to stock? I had the same problem rooting. I then tried to fix broken recovery and unroot and neither is working for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] badger1802:
custom recovery

Hey is anyone else having this problem? I can do everything just fine and have s-off but can't seem to keep the recovery (green text). Every time I want to boot into recovery I have to do step 10 again. i would like to flash a new rom but would like to get this sorted out first. Thanks!!!

sorry if this is a dup post, I didn't see anything else but I may be wrong
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
did you flash the second pc36img.zip the one you rename from pc36img-mr.zip

if you didnt do that if you did

follow the fix broken recovery steps and youll be ok
[EVO 4G Android Development] badger1802:
Thanks!! working like a charm now!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] toddlmr:
Used this last night on a 0004 with 2.10 hboot and it worked great! Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] manacho:
I did the tutorial, start to finish. Twice. You assumed I didn't. Sounds like you are more interested in being a cocky little ****** then helping people. I'll figure it out myself. I hope you have the opportunity to ask for help one day and get a arrogant, snotty assuming answer instead of actual help. I also look forward to meeting you in person. Keep hiding behind your computer. It's best for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikevillarroel:
I'm a little confused, do i have to rename both zips PC36IMG.zip and pc35img.zip?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gpz1100:
Step 1 is a bit confusing..

My understanding is to copy both files with the original names to the root of the sdcard.

The unrevoked*.zip undoes the rooting, while the PC36IMG.zip (yes, case matters), restores the factory ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mikevillarroel:
So i just flash the s-on zip as is then wile in bootloader screen, let the phone find the pc36img.zip?
[EVO 4G Android Development] GrnEydGuy:
? Clockwork back to Stock recovery ?

Yesterday I attempted to ROOT my EVO using the "ROOTING For Dummies" method via

unrevoked3

on androidforums.

All seemed to be going well until I installed ROM Manager and flashed Clockwork Recovery... it told me I did not have root, but gave me the Superuser window and it flashed.

The issue here is that I never really accomplished a full ROOT with that method and now I wanted to restore everything to original and use this XDA Zikronix method.

I turned security to S-ON and used Clockwork to restore backup, and factory reset device.

I then attempted to remove Clockwork recovery by following the FIX BROKEN RECOVERY section of this tutorial.

My issue is that when I boot into bootloader I do not get asked to FLASH anything.

When I try to flash the PCIMG36.zip from the Clockwork Recovery I receive the following error:

~~~~~~~~~~~

E:Cant open /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Am I able to use Zikronix method to return my recovery back to stock or is there another route I have to go?

I just want to add that I've now rooted 3 evos using this guide and I've experimented with several roms, recoverys, and kernals. I am now flashing my phone back to the original recovery (the one specified in the first forum post) and the sprint lover's rom.

People can claim whatever they want to claim, but on my device, the absolute best experience has come from using the provided recovery and rom. Thanks!
