[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
thanks, i thought i may need to use that, wasn't sure where and when though.

trying now!

update: it said success but was still on the stock recovery screen, s-on still in the bootloader.

try running it from step 1 again i guess?

update 2: ran it from the beginning and this time it never made it to recovery at all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Ok will make some more changes, i need to get another evo so i can see where its hanging up for the most part. Like i said this time i swapped all the timers for the wait-for-device cmd.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
i'll try running it one more time in the mean time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
ok, just to be clear, i'm at the stock recover right now, it says it was a success, but it never actually booted to the new recovery like i imagine it should have.

what is the best next course of action?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Also,

If it sends you back to recovery mode but fails to do anything, while its in recovery mode run this command in the cmd prompt.

"adb shell busybox --install /sbin"

Without the quotes and tell me if it says permission denied.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Brandito:

It will boot you right back out of recovery mode once unrevoked runs. Everything is automated.(Supposed to be lol)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
it says

error: device offline

even tried just adb shell same error.

edit: in reply to your second post, yeah it never left the stock recovery once it got there the initial time. still sitting there now, i'm waiting to see if you have anything else you want to try.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soligna:
Tried it again with beta 4 exe now it only waits 15 seconds and tries running the exploit while the HTC boot screen is still showing then root fail.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Hmm error device offline ?

Try adb shell. If it reports error device offline again. Try rebooting the phone and your pc.

The reason it couldnt push the files it because its showing your device is offline.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
i did try adb shell, same thing. phone shows in device manager as ADB Interface.

i'll try rebooting both, start the process from scratch again?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Soligna,

It waits only 15 secs now because the first few secs ADB works, then stops. I have to have enough time for it to bypass that, then i run adb wait-for-device. I might have to increase the timer to say 25 secs
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Brandito:

No start from recovery step.

Are you sure you have root ? can you type adb shell while device is powered on ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
rebooted my computer, tried adb shell again and same error. phone is still in the stock recovery screen.

by recovery step do you mean hit the recovery fail button?

if so from what point?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
You need to power the phone on to os.

It should reboot it to recovery on its own.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
ok, trying something else first just to be certain, uninstalling the drivers and deleting them and reinstalling the ones you provided just to make certain.

then from there, reboot the phone completely and run recovery fail?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Ok sounds good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
ok redoing the drivers still gave me the device offline error, so i rebooted the phone completely and ran recovery fail, took me to the stock recovery and never left it, same error was given using adb shell from there, check the bootloader and still s-on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
ok, when you do a fresh boot, and adb shell into the phone does it drop you to # or $
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
shows me a $
[EVO 4G Android Development] torremitsu:
This just doesn't work for me. Everyone I run the app, this happens:

After that I have to flash stock
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Its not rooted. Something isnt right.

Rerun from the begining, this is why recovery wont work.

From the begining it should reboot you. temp root, load you to fastboot, load you to htc bootloader, send a zip image to the phone and start showing a green progress bar on the phone. Once thats done it will reboot you again.

At this point is where recovery should work. If it fails you will boot back to os adb shell make sure you have # root then run the recovery step.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
never got a progress bar if that means anything to ya??
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
torremitsu,

If it gets to that spot, what does the program do is it showing a progress bar on the program? Thats what it supposed to do. Boot you to that screen, then it uploads a 180 Meg zip to the phone so you have to wait a min, then it will start showing a green progress bar on the phone it self.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
overall it should start flashing and seeing a green progress bar on the phone within 5mins.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
at any point should it get as far as the sprint loading screen? mine usually gets there before being rebooted again, or occasionally boots all the way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
torremitsu,

Its also werid you are getting 4 triangles on the phone.

can you post your HBoot specs and SW that you are running ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
this time it booted all the way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] torremitsu:
I get the green progress bar everytime but after it flashes I get that brick screen. I tried beta 4 and the app says "Success" but it still leaves my phone looking like that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Brandito,

You mean on the first reboot ?

Broken down in a little more description:

Click On Free My Phone.

Program will wait to detect phone, when found will upload all the files needed, after that is done, the program will move the files to the correct spots.

It will reboot the phone, wait 15 secs, runs the cmd adb wait-for-device, waits for your phone to reenable adb. once adb is found it runs rageagainstthecage. If its SUCCEDS in root and only if it succeds, it flash's the MTD-ENG.img < wich might be where its failing as i noticed i have to wait tell phone boots completely to flash>

Once it runs that cmd, it reboots phone to fastboot. Then reboots phone to HTC Bootloader.

At this point it uploads the eng-PC36IMG.zip to the phone. From there the phone flash's the PC36IMG.zip <If mtd-eng.img flashed succeded> you should start seeing a green progress bar within 5 mins. <If it reboots before 5 mins then mtd-eng.img failed to flash> once this succeds it reboots phone again. This time with full root, then reboots phone to recovery push's files etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
torremitsu,

Flash your phone with the lates .30 ruu.

Please tell me what sw version you were on, hw version your phone is and hboot you are on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
right now it keeps rebooting completely.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Just constantly rebooting ?

Uploading another Beta 5: This time it waits longer before flashing mtd-eng.img and waitsforexit this will tell me if its hanging on that part.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
yeah, did it 3 times, first to it rebooted completely, 3rd time it got to the stock recovery and no progress bar, but said it was a success anyways.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Shinzul:
So just to clarify, does this tool apply unrevoked and root in addition to unlocking the bootloader or do I need to root in advnce of this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
It will leave you rooted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Ok BETA5 is up see change logs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
might be a dumb question but what recovery does this flash?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Brandito:

It does not load a custom recovery yet, i didnt have anymore time with the evo i had.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
ok so after this, as soon as it's working :P , run unrevoked3 i take it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] torremitsu:
Right now this is what I have

Supersonic EVT2-3 ship S-OFF

HBOOT-2.02.000

MICROP-041f

TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac

RADIO-2.15.00.09.01

Sw 3.29
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Brandito,

I would recommend a downgrade of the hboot, then run unrevoked 3 then upgrade your phone using a custom rom. or stock rom with recovery and hboot removed.

BETA 5 SHOULD WORK IT SUCCEEDED WITH MORTALSCAN .
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Right now this is what I have

Supersonic EVT2-3 ship S-OFF

HBOOT-2.02.000

MICROP-041f

TOUCH PANEL-ATMELC03_16ac

RADIO-2.15.00.09.01

Sw 2.9

You are showing S-OFF.

So im lost to why you reruning the software again haha.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
hmm, not really looking to run a custom rom right now. i'm pretty content with stock sense, i used cm6-6.1 on my hero, and it's great, but i'd rather stick with stock for the time being. i at least want to nand backup my current rom.

maybe i'll just hold off til;l there's a simpler root method?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
At this time no, you can get temp root, but can not install custom recovery or anything. So right now you will be stuck with out a nandroid. Its a good thing my software failed for you or all your information would have been erased.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Brandito:
oh really?

i was under the impression this was just to gain root? i assumed i'd lose everything if something went terribly wrong, but not if it went right...
[EVO 4G Android Development] torremitsu:
Well green status bar just ended and it is at that screen I showed you, your app says "looking for device" I think im gonna need to restore again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neudof:
So if I want to root, and stay with the stock rom (for now) I should not run this tool?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
torremitsu,

Dont mind the progress bar on the app.

Wait for it to say fail before doing anything...

You guys, you can still run a STOCK ROM, just need to download the latest ruu extract rom.zip remove hboot, replace recovery with a custom recovery, the zip it back up and install it through fastboot.
[EVO 4G Android Development] torremitsu:
LOL, after reading the latest posts i think I was wrong. I thought this software would let me get full root so i could flash custom roms. Does the downgrader allow me to flash custom roms?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Yes with S-OFF you can run custom roms, you just need to install custom recovery, you can try unrevoked3 now and see if it will install for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tejasrichard:
Because we don't have root and can't flash roms. I haven't run your program yet, but my hardware/software info is virtually identical to his, and I do not have root permissions. I can even flash a custom recovery using one of the pc36img files that contain amon-ra or clockwork, but it won't flash roms, and it won't boot afterwards....it just hangs at the HTC white splash. I have noticed that, when doing this manually in hboot, the update sequence is different with the pc36img that we use to turn turn s-off than with the stock uprooted img....for one thing, the bootloader isn't skipped or bypassed.....it throws an error (fail-ic). Also, it is the last thing to try to update, instead of the second (like in the official img). The radio v2 is the 2nd thing in the sequence (instead of 4th from the end), and it throws an error (fail-pu). Now, we may be barking up the wrong tree here, since we already have s-off, I'm not sure. But something is keeping us from root. I'be been trying all the different methods I can find in the hope that one of them will work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
tejasrichard,

Try the lates beta5 wait for it to complete.

eng-PC36IMG.zip is what gives you root.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soligna:
Tried beta 5 its still not rooting, reboots and tries to run the exploit during the HTC startup screen. Timing is still not right. To give an overall for my issues i have all the drivers done right im running windows 7 x64 i click free my phone it reboots and reboots my phone completely and tries to run the exploit during HTC startup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neudof:
i am a complete EVO noob so forgive me if I am asking a foolish question but:

If I run the beta 5 tool, do I need to do anything once the tool is complete? or will my phone be ready to go at that point?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Soligna,

Find a X86 machine, it cant be a timing issue now as im not running any timers except for after the phone reboots it waits 15 secs, then waits for the phone to reconnect.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
neudof,

Yes you will, this tool only gets you S-OFF and ROOT. it does not install a custom recovery, it does not install a custom rom.

It allows 3 simple things.

S-OFF

ROOT

and Downgrade of the HBoot.

ONLY REASON TO DOWNGRADE HBOOT IS IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR ARE DOING.
[EVO 4G Android Development] neudof:
I don't know what I am doing thats why I asked :)

i just want to root to have wifi tethering.
[EVO 4G Android Development] torremitsu:
I think I screwed up for good this time. I did the hboot downgrade after a semi-successful unrevoked root and now the screen wont turn on. I tried to flash stock ruu and it failed. I think im really screwed this time
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soligna:
Has anyone at all done this with a x64 machine I dont have any x86 machines laying around to use.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
torremitsu,

Remove battery,

Hold VOL-UP press power, insert cable you should hear your computer CHIME and pick up fastboot.

Download the Build .29 RUU

Download the Build .30 RUU

Run the Build .30 RUU get the ROM.zip form the temp folder, place this on your desktop.

Exit out of build .30 RUU

Run the build .29 RUU go to temp folder, delete the ROM.zip, and place the rom.zip from Build .30 in there, Continue RUU

Should flash phone.

Once you have got back to the OS, RUN Beta5 and tell me if it works for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] torremitsu:
ill give this a shot does anyone know where I can find the .30 RUU?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
You really just need the .30 Zip even ones that are oringinal just name PC36IMG.zip will work i seen a few that were uploaded.
[EVO 4G Android Development] torremitsu:
im trying to get it into fastboot. It's not chiming with the battery out. Although with the battery in, the computer at least recognizes it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kckfire:
Flashing time

Using Beta 5, I've gotten up to the point where it is flashing, but it seems to be stuck there. EVO is on the 'htc' screen, program says 'Flashing DO NOT UNPLUG!' and green bar appear full. It's been this way for over 10 minutes now.

Prior to starting, I had:

HBOOT-2.02.0000

RADIO-2.15.00.09.01

Hardware: 003

Software: 3.30.651.2

Any thoughts?

Update: Unplugged phone & removed battery. Put in battery and the phone booted into the normal sprint ROM. Shut down, went to HBOOT where nothing had changed (still S-ON), went to fastboot and the program started back up, then hung up seeking a reboot after recovery. Rebooted back into normal Sprint ROM. I manually terminated Beta 5. So far everything looks fine so I'll wait this out for a bit.
[EVO 4G Android Development] torremitsu:

HBOOT 2.02 S-OFF and HBOOT downgrade success!

Good evening everyone,

I'm somewhat new to this forums, but have been observing this thread since I too had the issue with the 2.02 HBOOT. Now i can say that I have been successful in downgrading my HBOOT to .76.200 and still have root. I basically started by using the "EVO RESTORE 3.29.65.1.5" PC36IMG.ZIP located in the "unroot 2.2 3.29.652.5 10/20/10" posted by chdrummerdude

...I'm unable to post links for some reason.

I then used amoamare's application with the Beta 5.exe. However, I also have Win 7 64bit, and noticed that In my C:/ drive i have a "Program Files" folder and a "Program Files (x86)" folder. i unzipped amoamare's application into the (x86) folder and ran the 1st step(Free my phone) and was successful in getting the S-OFF. I then ran the HBoot downgrade, and was successfull as well. After I ended up with with hboot on 0.76.200 and the "S-OFF". I then ran the PC36IMG located in this thread from the application and ran unrevoked 3. I did not have any issues and everything seems to be fine. I have purchased my evo back in June at best buy. So it came stock with android 2.1. I figured I share this info with everyone seeing how this process helped me. Again this is what worked for me, and maybe it can work with you. I take no responsibility if anything happens to your phone, The sites and tools I mentioned are something i did NOT create, obviously, and credits goes to it's rightful owners. the process i mentioned did work for me. Hope this helps you all as it did for me.

Regards,
[EVO 4G Android Development] llontop.m:
Good stuff! the (x86) folder in win 7 64 bit emulates 32bit programs :) And you'll be able to post links after 8 posts I think :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] lilc:
I guess so, I mean it worked for me So i don't see why it shouldn't work for everyone else. I'm back to Cm6 as well.

And i was wondering why i wasn't able to post links...now i know..thanks for the info
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
I never ran 64bit long enough to research it, but i just learned that x86 folder emulates x86 on win64bit thats cool.
[EVO 4G Android Development] prdstm0nke:
Ok brand new evo. version 003. hboot 2.02 on stock 3.30

i've run amoamare's program 2 times (just the free my phone part, haven't downgraded hboot.) both times its completed and said success, but each time, i still have S-ON, and no radios.

my firmware version after running the program

2.1 update 1

baseband 1.36.00.04.02

kernal 2.6.29-ac94cf60

build number 1.17.651.1

PRI 1.34_003

i'm now trying to run the 3.30 RUU to undo anything and start over, but phone gets stuck at "HTC" black screen and 'wait for bootloader' on the RUU, then gives error 170 - no usb connection.

edit, - i think i somehow flashed a pc36img zip through stock recovery and thats when my radios stopped working.

any help would be greatly appreciated...
[EVO 4G Android Development] robollama:
The program reboots my phone and then it waits 15 seconds and tries running the exploit while I'm still at the white HTC Evo 4G screen.... obviously it says root failed. help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tejasrichard:
I also got the black htc screen with the triangles and ! in each corner. It never rebooted, etc. Ran 3.30 ruu. Gonna try the 3.29 ruu that someone said worked for them earlier. Report back later.

EDIT: Still running the program. It got to the part where it goes to the black htc screen, the green status bar stated going, it got about a quater of the way through, turned red and the phone vibrated for a sec. Then it turned back green, but the was the little symbol of the exclamation point in the triangle at the end of the status bar. It finished, acted like it was going to reboot, then went to the black htc screen with the triangle/! in each corner. The program is just sitting there saying "rebooting to recovery..."

Edit 2: Program finished. Printed out "Success", LOL! Still at black screen. If I unplug the cord, it goes to a white screen very like the bootloader...except instead of saying hboot or fastboot, etc....in orange letters it says: RUU. Wonder what that means? :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soligna:
Im trying this process now ill post how it goes, following it precisely.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amoamare:
Okay guys got another evo. Just left the sprint store about 40 mins ago none of the evos were rev 4. None of our store evos were 2.02.000 stock. So to get this working 100% right im now down 300 dollars as I wanted one from the store with 2.02.0000.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soligna:
Followed the exact same process first got main version is older error for flashing the pc36img.zip file and then still got the same windows 7 x64 error where it tries to flash during the evo loading screen.

update: HBoot downgrade

hey guys,

just though I give an update. a classmate had an evo he had just purchased recently and had the 3.30 with 2.02 luckily i had my lapton (win 7 64bit). well I was able to get the S-off and I was going to add the 3.29 since that is how I did it..well I accidently ran the 3.30 rom (rooted) which requires s-off. which is from this post "Stock 3.30.651.2 PC36IMG.ZIP Format " by weidnerj. ..again from the x86 folder, and it worked as well with no issues. ..:)

Yes because it install's the ENG_PC36IMG.zip,

I recommend updating once you obtain S-OFF and update all radios.
