it needs to be in fastboot mode, look for FASTBOOT USB in red above the menu.

If it is blue then you are in the bootloader

edit: sorry misread your post, you have to run it through dos.

it looks like it is seeing fastboot though, could you zip up the autoroot.log and attach it for me to look at?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
yep, you have to download the zip file with the PC36IMG files to root. I just added the ones without it so those who already have them don't have to download them all over again.

[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
bingo, there you go! You still need to make a NANDroid in case something happens to your phone, "adb reboot recovery" will take you straight to the recovery when you are ready to do so.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rukshmani:
but the next step is to do adb shell and see if it gives # sign mine gives $ sign and also when i enter su, it says permisson denied
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noobe:
Well when i kept getting stuck on this step i looked at the video walkthrough. And on the vid i was supposed to get a black recovery screen on my phone and never did it just kept rebooting back to the home screen. But the wierd part was that on the video the guy got the same message we were getting and he got to recovery on the phone. And thats where we can't continue and i think its because of the Hboot 2.2 version that we have.

The only way to get around this from what i understand is to have Hboot 2.2 go from S-On to S-Off. It shows up on top of the white screen when you hold power and volume down. If its on supposedly we wont be able to get any further then we have already gotten. This is from the reading that i have done through the threads on this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zikronix:
usually when running the adb shell command execution for rageinthecage the scripted command will drop the shell before it actually completes...

that why there is no longer any batchfiles in my step by step.

break the command out

adb shell

then do the execution ./whatever/whatever/whatever.bin
[EVO 4G Android Development] rukshmani:
when I break it i get the following

C:\Users\Sherwa\Downloads\EVORootKit>adb shell

$ cat rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin > /data/local/tmp/rage

cat rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin > /data/local/tmp/rageag

rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin: No such file or directory
[EVO 4G Android Development] dkdude36:
you are missing the location of rage...

cat /SDCARD/rage.... > /data/local/tmp/rage.....
[EVO 4G Android Development] rukshmani:
ok so that worked i type cat /sdcard//evorrotkit....

now when it reboots i have to push power buttun for it to look for image and it takes 9-10 seconds before it starts checking and then does not ask me to update...

actually after using unrevoked when my phone started taking 9-10 seconds to check image i realised something is wrong, but could not find any solution so came to this method to root, assuming it will fix mu problem..

not sure what is the next step now
[EVO 4G Android Development] illogic6:
lol @ this being titled 'rootkit'
[EVO 4G Android Development] shadd01:
I have a few incredibly dumb questions...Do I "runexploit" in dos from the evoroot directory thats on sd card when its mounted as a disk drive? Also when I do that I get a error:device not found . I do have the phone in usb debugging. any help would be great. Thanks!

--Shadd
[EVO 4G Android Development] heartcoke:
Just curious, is this method better overall than unrevoked 3?
[EVO 4G Android Development] shadd01:
Well I was able to fix my device not found problem (face palm). When I try and run adb shell after running "runexploit" I have the $. I have tried resetting my phone several times and tried on windows xp instead win 7 64 bit. Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
That's normal, it's just the exploit doing it's thing. It should reset the ADB server and have it restart as root.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noobe:
Can anyone help me to try to get my phone back to stock? Because its obvious for my phone at the moment root isnt going to work for me as of yet.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
not that kind of rootkit lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
How far have you gotten?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noobe:
I have done everything except enter recovery which i cant do because of the Hboot 2.2 on my device.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Thanks man, ya if you want to modify it to work for macs that would probably help out a lot of people. I don't really have any experience working with them so I'm unable to do it.

I'll post a copy of all the files without the NAND images and ROM it can be downloaded quicker.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Are you able to get a root prompt with the #? This should replace your hBoot with the engineering one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] eyeballer:
OP does this work for hboot 2.02 evo's?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Noobe:
Me and dkdude36 tried to and thats a no go. Unless u have something new to try? I can send you our emails so you can see what we did
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
It should yeah, at the moment it appears I am missing something though.

ok, If you would email them to me I think the adb server is not resetting like it should.

Have you tried running the RUU to restore your phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dodge972:
it booted up but hands free activation trying to connect to the network, what do i need to do its not connecting
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rydah:
im sorry for asking, maybe even bugging, but lately ive had nothing but issues (not related to this root method) and will be getting a replacement which will probably have the newer hardware. is this like a 1-3 click root method???
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
It's showing your NAND is already unlocked

try running

autoroot plrebooted
[EVO 4G Android Development] dodge972:
what does this do
[EVO 4G Android Development] dodge972:
i ran this also and it said the same congradulation does this fix the network connection
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
this wont have any effect on your network settings
[EVO 4G Android Development] dodge972:
ok it booted up but i have no connections, tried to make a phone call it failed, no 3g no phone, ?

i tried to update profile and prl nothing happens sais error 1012
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
what all have you used to try and root with? nothing this script does should affect that but if something else was unfinished it may have interfered with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dodge972:
envoked mostly things on this site for evo 2.2 clock, ar your autoroot
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
hey how do i reverse this if i need to just flash the unrevoked s-on tool and run the ruu?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
I'm trying to think of what all could cause that, have you tried unrevoked or just the 2.02 hboot method? If you ran the RUU that may affect it also, when was the last time youve ran one?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Yup, just be sure to run unrevoked forever tool before the RUU. This should have pushed it to your sd card under the name URFSOn.zip
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
thank you sir just wish that the mirrors were faster i know not your fault just annoying to have high speed internet and d/l at 39 kbs
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
wow 39k? Megadownload is usually pretty good but every once and awhile they will slow down like that. You may be better off restarting the download
[EVO 4G Android Development] oohoy:
i know this is probably outta topic but...can u run unrevoked forever s-off to get nand unlock then run z4root to root the phone ? will that work ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Not sure, this is the first I've actually heard of it. It looks like HTC phones are not supported though. It is also kind of a moot point once your NAND is unlocked, once it is unlocked your phone is wide open for you to do anything you want with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] oohoy:
read the z4root thread on xda and the newest version seem to be workin except it doesnt support evo is because nand has to be unlocked first...so i thought if unrevoked forever gets u s-off, dont that mean you can then use z4root for the easy way to root the phone ? theres even some that got temp root on evo using z4root too with the new option enabled in the newer z4root version
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
It's a catch 22 though, you need root access to unlock the NAND :)

Getting temporary root is easy, unlocking the NAND not so much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rydah:
Error 1012 is the same reason why I am getting a replacement evo. If you find a way to fix this, please let me know in a p.m.

and now everytime i unplug the usb plug from my phone its a white screen that says

i ran this program and this kill my phone its a paper weight no use at all i ran ruu from sprint but cant get it to the phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] tmacgarris6727:
so i guess my phone is done smh
[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
when you get to that white screen, go to either

fastboot, then choose fastboot USB then run the RUU or

go to hboot USB and then run the RUU

your usb isn't going to be active in the bootloader unless you do one of these.

Your phone isn't bricked, if it can be turned on, it can be fixed 99.9% of the time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tmacgarris6727:
i only see the white screen when i unplug my phone from the usb when plug in its just a black screen thats says htc with four white icons in each corner
[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
turn your phone off. Hold down the volume down button. then press the power button while holding down the volume down button. This will load up the screen I am talking to you about. From there do what I told you to do above and see if it works.

Also, If that doesn't work. I'm not sure what version of phone you had, but in the first post, there are 2 PC36IMG.zip files -- one for 3.29 & one for 3.30 (very new phones have 3.30). Download the correct file and make sure it the name is PC36IMG.zip and put it on your SD card. If you have windows set to hide file extensions, make sure the file isn't actually named "PC36IMG.zip.zip". Put it on your SD card, NOT in a folder...so that it would read for example E:\PC36IMG.zip in windows. Hold the volume down and turn your phone on again. The bootloader will boot up, and will ask if you want to run the update -- select yes, and let the phone do its thing. This should restore your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tmacgarris6727:
everytime i turn it off and hold down the power and volume down its just the black screen that says htc
[EVO 4G Android Development] hecklbrg:
Hold the volume button down first, then just press the power button while keeping your finger on the volume down button.

If your bootloader is somehow messed up, then I don't know what steps to take. Waiting for the OP to get home for the day so he can help you is your best bet.

EDIT: Also, there is a .log file that is created when the program runs. The OP/Program Designer will be able to tell you what to do based on this file.

Is MY Phone Bricked - Can't Get into Recovery - HELP

Sounds like I'm having the same issue as the person above. I'm a bit of a NOOB, so bear with my terminology. My phone was rooted and Nand unlocked (S=off), running Fresh 3.4. It will not accept calls so I have to take it to Sprint. I ran the latest RUU to get it unrooted, but I could not use Titanium Backup to restore my apps. I ran Universal AutoRoot.zip http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838448 and went through what seemed to be the complete process. At the end I was left with the bootloader menu to boot into the recovery but my EVO will not go into recovery. When I try I get I get a phone with a red triangle. I have tried everything I know (I'm a bit of a NOOB), and I cannot get to recovery or Nandroid. I did a Nandroid Backup but can't get to it. My phone no longer communicates with my computer. I have just moved and need my phone to set up appointments. Please help, I'm desperate.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
check your HBOOT does it say s-on if it does then you don't have a problem you just have the stock recovery and you can't access it if you run the auto root again and it hangs try clicking on the adb window and then click auto root again and run and you should root takes a bit as you know but otherwise you can't use Titanium Backup since you need root to use it
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
That is the bootloader, it just won't show the menu. You need to run the 3.30 RUU from your computer. You can find a link to it in my OP.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
You need to run the 3.30 RUU, it looks like you've previously tried rooting with Unrevoked because your partition setup doesn't match your hboot.

You should always run the RUU between trying different rooting methods to clean up anything that may have been left half way finished.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
That is the stock recovery, push Vol up and Power to get to the menu

Does this remove the ugly HTC ui?

Just unzip and run the reboot bat file

If you've tried to flash the ruu and it still fails you can force it to flash anyways. Just run it through till it fails and then run 'autoroot flashudzip'

You can try rebooting or you may need to uninstall your adb drivers and letting it reinstall the ones from your phone

Awesome, great job man! It needed a few tweaks to get it working again on older phones but it should be good to go now.

Some of the newer phones aren't reacting like they should when flashing the firmware. They are locking themselves into RUU mode instead of just skipping the bootloader and continuing on.
