Okay. I was running the new 2.10 and I am now rooted with s-off. every rom except sprint lovers will not work. The boot screen recycles even on steelrom.

Any thoughts?
[EVO 4G Android Development] thankobidient:
I have hboot 2.10 n i am trying to root with this method but unfortunately i am getting error at step no 7.

After entering the command as soon as i press the enter the following error occurs.

I am attaching a picture of error message

Please reply asap so that i can enjoy the rooted phone too.

Thanx in advance
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogos:
What version of steel rom? As long as the roms you are trying have HTC kernel #15(the one that comes with 3.70) it should be fine. Make sure that you wipe data, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache before you flash.

Are you able to do a full nandroid backup? Do you get any errors when flashing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogos:
You have two choices:

1. Reboot. Run rageagainstthecage again from terminal. Try flashing again.

2. Use a task killer app to shut processes down that did not get cleaned up from rage exploit. Try flashing again.

From what I can find out these errors are caused by having the system completely bogged down from all the forked processes rage exploit runs.
[EVO 4G Android Development] XnoteX:
Yes I am positive it was correctly named pc36img.zip, even in bootloader it says "checking....pc36img.zip" I am going to give this process a try again for the 6th time tho cuz it seems it is working for some.. but for a clarification in step 7 we input : ./data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

sync

is there a space after img and sync? i typed it out as... /mtd-eng.img sync
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogos:
sync is a separate command after ./data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

[EVO 4G Android Development] adolphus coors:
I did do a nandroid backup, however I was not able to rebbot into recovery manually. I always get the red triangle so I run the script again to force recovery. I flashed the renamed PC36IMG and now I can reboot into recovery but I get errors flashing the ROM with package.
[EVO 4G Android Development] thieff77:
ok im rooted, had some deviations from the instructions, but i am rooted. Now i have a question. If i read correctly, with this root i should not install clockwork or armon?
[EVO 4G Android Development] thankobidient:
. /mtd-eng.img is a separate command and u have to press enter

and then type sync and press enter

Download PC36IMG_Recovery.zip, rename it to PC36IMG.zip. Put it in the root directory of your SD Card. Turn phone off. Hold Volume Down while you turn it on. You will get to the bootloader, it will scan the PC36IMG.zip file. Say yes to flash it. Say no to reboot and head to recovery. Do a nandroid backup. Wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. Toggle usb mode and then delete the PC36IMG.zip file. Put the steelrom zip on the sdcard. Toggle usb off. Flash from zip to steelrom.

If steelrom still does not work it might be that the sprint lover rom from the OP is outdated, then head over to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=830153 and download the latest All-In-One version of SprintLovers that contains the new radio, nv, pri and download that as PC36IMG.zip and put it on your sdcard. Let the bootloader scan it and then flash it. Reboot fully into rom. Delete the sprint lovers PC36img.zip and put the renamed PC36IMG_Recovery.zip back on the sd card as PC36img.zip. Back to bootloader, flash it, head to recovery, wipe, flash steelrom. Make sure it is the sprint lover all-in-one and not the stand alone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] crpercodani:
I lold pretty hard at the name of this thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogos:
Oh, and one other thing to try first.... Check the MD5 on your steelrom download. It could be corrupt.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vegasden:
OK..had a few minor deviations from the instructions but this ol' 002 with the 2.10 HBoot finally is back to all it's rooted glory! Thanks OP for the work & dedication.

I should note that after I had finished it took me a few cycles of battery pull etc. to finally get the phone to go into recovery. The first few times it seemed stuck on the white screen. Finally, it now "jumps" into recovery went told to do so.
[EVO 4G Android Development] XnoteX:
Ignore that previous post couldn't edit it out, sorry. I ran into a new problem. I was on step 12 and it took me to 12C the phone automatically scans for PC36IMG but it does not ask me if I would like to flash anything. so do I just proceed to step 13?
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogos:
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

When you ran this step and renamed the file was it called PC36IMG-MR.zip or just PC36IMG-MR. I only ask because if you hide known file extensions, then you actually renamed your file to PC36IMG.zip.zip and that is why the bootloader did not find it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] adolphus coors:
Okay. I was able to get the latest version of sprint lovers loaded and running.

Thanks to everyones help this newbie is rooted!! Awesome community!:D

What I ended up doing when I got to step 8 and it denied permission (my phone was plugged into the pc still) I just went to the PC command box and typed adb reboot bootloader and it proceeded to the next step.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robes1:
in step 7 when i type: ./data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

Problem when at Triangle

I get to the Red Triangle and in the commend prompt it says that device is offline. When I do adb push recovery / I get that message. Any helpful suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingViper:
Getting the following during step 12. Can't go past this point, and my device is stuck on the White HTC Evo 4G screen. I know unrevoked says it doesn't support this radio version, but is there anyway to get back to a working flash for the time being?

unrEVOked forever S-OFF patch v1.1

Verifying system type.....

Got device:

@PID: 73,"SUPERSONIC_C"

Got radio version: 2.15.00.11.19

E:unsupported radio version

E:Update failed.

Check /sdcard/soff.log

EDIT!!!!

I think I got mine flashed back to the stock firmware.

Go to this thread and download the full RUU. It's like 209mb.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=874091

Shut the device off, plug your USB cable into your computer and phone, hold the volume down button and hold power. When you're presented with a menu, select fastboot. It should then change to fastboot usb.

Now run the full ruu.exe you downloaded from above. It should detect your phone and allow you to flash back to stock. You will lose everything just like on a hard reset (unless you have stuff saved to the SD Card)

Good luck!
[EVO 4G Android Development] irvingliao:
yeah, me, too

I was stuck in the situation
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robes1:
I'm at 12C!!! I can see the finish line!! when I hold down the volume button and power it on it scans for the PC36IMG.zip file and says no file or wrong file. I've gotten past the green screens obviously so I know that I'm doing it right. Is there a way to check to see if I renamed the zip file wrong? I can't see the sd card anymore. What would you guys do from here?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robes1:
This is exactly where I'm at. same problem. so if you did rename the file and ended up with a PC36IMG.zip.zip how do you fix that? because I'm pretty sure that I did the same exact thing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogos:
Try to enter recovery from the bootloader. If it doesn't work then get back to the bootloader and run this step again

adb push recovery /

adb shell busybox --install /sbin

adb shell nohup /sbin/recovery &

That should get you back to recovery. Here you can toggle usb drive mode back on to check the file name. If you see PC36IMG.zip then you probably really named it PC36IMG.zip.zip because windows is hiding your file extension. Just rename it to PC36IMG. If it still looks like a zip file graphic then you should be set to reboot into the bootloader.

i am getting this same error as well
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan330:
hi all,

I have rooted before .. my CDMA Hero and AOSP ROM with firerat mod. So I am ok with tinkering..

I just upgarded to White EVO.. got it Yesterday 12/16/2010.

Did the Power with Volume down and got this:

Supersonic EVT 2-3 Ship S-ON

HBOOT - 2.02.0000

MICROP -041F

TOUCH PANEL - ATMELCO3_16ac

RADIO -2.15.00.09.01

OCT 14 2010, 19:14:47

Then i did ##786# and got:

SW version

3.30.651.3

HW Version

0003

so.. to root i need to use this method... but why does mine say S-ON? I am not really sure what the issue is with S-ON or S-OFF.. what does it mean and why is it important?

It is 1 day old. should I be ok with version 0003? is there something that I am missing out on ... not being 0004? I am guessing it is not important and I am being OCD.

I want to do this over the weekend... is there anything that you guys suggest I do / check... before I jump in?

thanks a bunch!

S-ON basically means you're not rooted. If it reads S-OFF then you're rooted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robes1:
I renamed the zip file correctly. now it scans for it and says that its loading it then it goes into checking it and then it goes to the bootloader screen. but it never ask me if I want to flash anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] irvingliao:
Thanks for that.

Right now it still have no idea to root the hboot 2.10 with radio 2.15.00.11.19

If anyone's radio is 2.15.00.11.19, don't try to root by this method, unless the unrevoked forever have upgraded their support to the radio 2.15.00.11.19.

unrevoked forever is the work to turn ur Evo from S-on to S-off

If ur radio is older than 2.15.00.11.19, u can root by this thread absolutely.

If u do so, the worst case would be like me, flashing the official RUU to reset my Evo, and everything in the phone will be deleted and reset except SD card.

Good luck for every one.

And thanks to KingViper again.

I have the 2.15.00.11.19 radio so I won't be able to root right now. How to I run the RUU that you posted the link to?
[EVO 4G Android Development] KingViper:
You run the ruu.exe from the computer you have your phone hooked to. You just double click it.

At this point I can't give you a method to root your phone. I've read a few things that might work, but aren't worth risking on my phone right now.

are these the same usb drivers that are needed?

if not.. and I need new drivers.... where can I find them??

Hey guys

I just flash the stock RUU successfully.

All of my data in the phone are gone except the SD, so I need to reset my phone now.

After downloading the RUU, just power off, and hold the volume down and power button together to the bootloader.

And select FASTBOOT, then double click the RUU.exe from ur PC, it will detect ur phone. And then just follow step by step by the RUU window, and it will upgrade ur Evo.

PC36IMG_3.30.zip?

Hey Guys,

The link from yesterday to PC36IMG_3.30.zip appears to be broke. I'm just trying to un-root my Evo, apply the OTA update that I received today, and send the phone in for service. I'm S-ON, but the common PC36IMG.zip tells me that it's an older version and the update fails. Where to from here?

Thanks,

Running the RUU to return to stock set-up. I got to the step 12C of this Root process and now its still stopping at the HTC welcome screen that you get when you turn it on. It goes no further. You have to hold down the volume key and power it on to get anything else but of course that's just the bootloader. The RUU says that it can't connect to the phone. Help!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] a1hildeb:
Downloaded and installed however i get permission denied when i try to get # or when i type su or when i try to reboot bootloader. the only thing it does is when i type command ./data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img it shows echo and then when i do the next step which is sync it just goes to a blank $ line

...nope didn't work

I try the step Open Terminal Emulator and type ./data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage

and it says not found. which is odd because the step right before it i push it
[EVO 4G Android Development] dhMassacre:
no.

here's what worked for me, although im not rooted or S-OFF because i cant get passed the unrevoked step due to my new radio.

i pushed the files to sd, then opened that terminal app, ran the rageagainstthecage thing, it gave me the forked thing, i typed ps, it said cannot be forked. then i exited, opened amazon. exited those, opened terminal. it force closed. opened it again,

./data/local/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img

sync

did those ^

then went on my computer

typed reboot bootloader, and continued on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robes1:
can't get the RUU to connect to the phone. Any advice? My phone is stuck on the white HTC screen that you get when you first power it on.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CouchFisher:
I'd like to apply the RUU. In fact, I've downloaded it. Problem is, I cannot get passed that USB Connection Error 170. I've tried uninstalling HTC Sync and re-installing it. I've booted volume up and volume down. Fastboot USB & left alone... heck, even tried HBOOT USB. Swapped USB ports, changed cables, nothing seems to matter.

I wish I could figure this out, get back to un-rooted stock and get my phone serviced! :confused:

Ok I got all the way to step 8 and when I go to flash it says wrong image or no image.. I've been trying to root my phone all day. Can someone please help me..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Vegasden:
Why not wait until you get your new phone before you ask? It may or may not have this latest OTA. People that got phones right after the last OTA had to upgrade themselves.

And even if it did that's a week or so away...by then the talented devs here at XDA will get more familiar with the new radio, kernel and software and have more concrete solutions.

You might start with the first post and the instructions. Your phone shouldn't be in recovery to push the initial files. It should just be plugged into your PC with USB Debugging on.

Congrats!!! I see by your original post you were radio 2.15.*...so a few of us with that radio are getting this great "program" working with the new radio.

adb push recovery /

adb shell busybox --install /sbin

If you did the latest OTA, have hboot 2.10, new radio, etc then you need to download the full RUU for 3.70 found in another thread. There is a PC36img.zip version of it and an .exe version. I think the zip version is easier to use because you can just load recovery, toggle usb mode on, drag it to your sd card, and reboot to the bootloader to flash it. If you use zip version make sure it is named PC36IMG.zip and in the root of your sdcard.
