UPDATE:

I got rom manger loaded and when I wanted to flash to the ClockWork Mod Revocery it

flashed it allright but would not boot after that. At least I know what to do to recover it now. Oh Im sure most people know this already..but get a micro SD usb card reader. Thats what saved me in most circumsatnces. If the EVO wouldnt boot I could put the card in the reader and add what I needed to it to get it up and running again.

So Im starting over and will use titanium backup. I didnt see a way to back up the system via amon_ra recovery
[EVO 4G Android Development] boliviano3:
I'm not sure if it's the same w/ this method but zikronix says on his thread that you're NOT supposed to flash Clockwork recovery.

I'm pretty new to rooting. I got my Evo on launch day and haven't done anything to it yet, except install the updates that my phone sends me every so often. My phone specs are below. Can anyone direct me as to which rooting method I should use? Thanks!

What ROM or ROM's would most advise to use?

ROM manager uses Clockwork - same company. It's a good program. I don't think there is a similar program out there. Is there any way this ROM can be compatible with Clockwork? Seems like something funny must be going on if not everything is 100% compatible. If Titanium does its backup with Clockwork (another ROM, another time) will it be able to restore the backups in RA?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
Clockwork is incompatible because the partition tables are different, titanium backup works with amon ra also it has nothing to do with the recovery it just backs up apps and the data for the apps clockwork and amon ra make a image of your Rom to restore at a later date kinda how windows recovery does

Have you tried to flash a custom rom yet?

Sent from my EVO at the edge of hell
[EVO 4G Android Development] nYdGeo:
Question: my wife's stock, non-rooted hardware version 003 Evo has been updated to build 3.70.651.1, and I'm running a 3.70.651.1 based ROM. I'm not sure about her's, but mine also has the very latest Radio, WIMAX, PRI and NV versions installed.

Neither of our phones came with build 3.29.651.5, the correct previous build listed above for this hardware version Evo. 3.29.651.5 is like the third update to Froyo since it was released to the Evo. Ours originally came with an Android 2.1 build installed.

If I needed to restore completely from an RUU, why should I not restore to the 3.70.651.1 RUU unless my phone came with it? I'm not being a weenie, but really want to know. I cannot comprehend why it would be okay to RUU to 3.29.651.5, but not to 3.70.651.1.

If anyone can clarify this I would greatly appreciate it, because if its true then I need to re-download a 3.29.651.5 RUU to keep as a backup.

Thank you for your time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ldudiaz:
I just rooted mine using the Universal Auto Root method and it worked without a single problem
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Glad to hear that its works good every once and awhile, usually people will only post if something goes wrong.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
If your wifes phone has the update and not rooted and your gonna root it then yes use the 3.70 ruu if you are rooted and just flashed a custom Rom you need to check what HBOOT you have and hat back to us

Sent from my EVO at the edge of hell
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Newer Evos are being shipped with a different setup that makes them incompatible with the older RUUs and HTC upgraded the older phones differently then the new ones. You may be ok using it but it's safer to use an older RUU and either flash a newer ROM or let the phone upgrade itself if you're not rooted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
You can get it to work but it requires a few extra steps that aren't listed. Im going to start working on an update tonight so it should be ready by tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] runsoverfrogs:
how do i tell which radio version do i have? thx.

also what is the extra steps if i have the 3.70?
[EVO 4G Android Development] runsoverfrogs:
okay i keep downloading the auto root, both are coming down as curropted, what is the deal? anybody have an alternative dropbox link? thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
To get it working on 3.70 you'll need to do the following:

run 'AutoRoot' and after a few seconds it will tell you it failed to get a root shell

reboot your phone

Download the terminal emulator app and run it. Then type the following in exactly as shown then hit enter:

./data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

You should see it scroll some stuff, then in terminal emulator type 'ps' and hit enter again.

Run autoroot once more and it should work normally

Your zip program may not like the way it was compressed, try using 7zip.

It is free at http://www.7-zip.org/
[EVO 4G Android Development] runsoverfrogs:
thanks for the info, i found out i don't have the 3.70 update, i tried the file also with 7zip, i'm using the latest firefox beta, I'll try it with ie instead.
[EVO 4G Android Development] runsoverfrogs:
Do you have a dropbox link? I just tried this on a different computer, both winrar and 7-zip, also tried megaupload, rapidshare and all the other ones, all are coming down curropted.

Need help

Of course I just killed my brothers phone on christmas morning.

I ran into an error while running the program. After the firmware was flashed, it does not seem to be able to detect the phone while in the bootloader. I am stuck with only the bootloader on the phone. The recovery was not flashed.

The error I was given after the firmware was flashed was phone could not be found or was not ready. I am trying to adb into it and it is telling me phone is offline.

The recovery option just gives the red exclamation point

Log is posted, thanks for any help
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Looks like it entered the recovery before it should have. If you press Vol Up & Power it will bring up a menu that will let you reboot it. Once you get it back to the bootloader press power to select 'fastboot'. Then, from a dos prompt, run "autoroot bootloader""

It should finish it from there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Just checked the megaupload mirror and it was ok.
[EVO 4G Android Development] amw2320:
Thanks for the help

I'm getting bootloader is an invalid parameter. Should it be autoroot b2bootloader?
[EVO 4G Android Development] amw2320:
Rooted w/ no recovery?

So what I did in the meantime.....

I flashed the pcimg_UD file from your res folder. Then flashed the pcimg_Amon...etc file. The phone was then able to boot normally. I seem to be unlocked and rooted. I downloaded titanium backup which is saying that I am, and in the bootloader it says S-off at the top of the screen.

However when I try to go into recovery it just hangs at the white htc EVO screen.

Any idea what I have done. Currently at least the phone works which makes me much happier.
[EVO 4G Android Development] zie2695:
possable root for hero ????

does any one know if this will work on the htc hero on sprint? thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler477:
Bricked using this method? ( I hope not)

ok, so I followed the instructions to a T

kernel 2.6.32.15

software 3.30.651.3

pri 1.77_003

hardware 0004

hboot 2.02.0000

first of all the instructions did not describe some of the things that happened in the bootloader (no other option but to reboot) now I am stuck at the red exclamation mark.

I tried the volume up power and reached the screen and gives me a reboot option, but then it gives me the evo screen then back to the exclamation mark.... what should I do? I'm really worried... did I brick my phone using this autoroot?

p.s. the autoroot .exe gave an error " the phone could not be found or was not ready. ADB and fastboot report it as 'aemon' instead of the expected 'any'. make sure adb debugging is turned on and the phone is in the correct mode"
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler477:
how did you get the phone working? how did you 'flash' the files? all I am getting is the red exclamation mark and the "android system recovery" (2e)"

Thanks, sorry this is very disheartening

I'm also getting an error when I open the recovery

"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler477:
ok,so I got it back into the bootloader screen and I'm now in recovery but cant get the autoroot to resume from the recovery section of the root.

also when it was updating I got errors on #2 and #12 the radio and the bootloader. is this normal?

I tried running "autoroot bootloader" also as you suggested earlier and received an error. :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler477:
log file

attached log file
[EVO 4G Android Development] amw2320:
Your not bricked. I would wait for someone's help above my own. But you can still recover from where you are. If you rename the PC32IMG_UD.zip file to PC32IMG.zip and place it in your SD card (I did it using an SD card reader). You can reflash it. (Flash probably isnt the right word, thats what you do in recovery. Dont know proper terminology though)

As soon as your phone boots into the bootloader it will detected it and take forever to load it before asking you if you want to install.

Again I would wait for help above my own though. Ive read about messing up your 4g by overwriting the key hidden in your phone. Use the above if you urgently need to use your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] runsoverfrogs:
Thanks for all the help. I found out what was corrupting my zip file downloads. It was my anti virus removing files as I download them. I disabled my anti-virus and everything was fine now.

I'm rooted :)

I used the long way though, not the automatic one, since I was on 3.70.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
sorry, it should be 'autoroot fastboot'

b2bootloader is called after unrevoked forever is flashed
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Looks like you are almost done, from where you are you'll want to use 'autoroot makenandroid' while your phone is showing the red triangle.

The errors are normal as well, your phone just doesn't like them because they are so old.

edit: If your phone has been on for awhile you will want to turn it off and let it charge for a half hour or so, the last thing you want is for the battery to die while you are flashing something.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler477:
ok, I tried to run autoroot makenandroid, but it says the daemon will not open d I ran the adb batch file and tried again but it says to send you a log file :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
k, sounds like something may have been corrupted with your phone. You'll need to restore to stock using the RUU before you can root. You'll need to reboot into your bootloader (turn phone off then hold vol down + power) and say no if it asks to flash the PC36IMG, then select 'fastboot' with the power button. It should say "FASTBOOT USB" afterward. Once you do that run the app below and it will make the phone like new again.

3.30.651.5 RUU

Once it's restored you should be able to run it normally with no issues. If for some reason it doesn't just use the RUU to restore.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rulevoid:
I have the exact same problem.

I would be surprised that both of ours 'corrupted' in the exact same manor. Sounds like a flaw somewhere. Thanks for the RUU link, guess I will try again another day!
[EVO 4G Android Development] rulevoid:
After running RUU and restoring, i immediately ran the autoroot again and it worked fine that time. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Usually it's from a bad unrevoked flash but there are sometimes it seems to be random though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
It varies depending on how your phone is set up. All of them will be in the root directory of your sd card though.

Look for URFSOff.zip (Unrevoked Forever S-OFF) URFSOn.zip (Unrevoked Forever S-ON - I would keep in case you need to unroot) and mtd-eng.img. If you had to flash the PC36IMG manually you will also have PC36IMG_UD.zip, which is pretty big, and newkernel.zip.

Your nandroids can be found on your sd card under nandroid/?????/(nandroidfolders). They are huge so if you need space you may want to copy them to your desktop.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Well everyone, don't say I never did anything for the community. I had to rewrite the exploit to get it working normally again on the new software.

I am new to rooting. I used this version to root my evo so that I could use WiFi tether. Thanks very much for the very simple process! Ironically, now my phone has an extremely slow 3g connection compared to where it was before rooting. I don't have any speed test numbers, but just know it takes like 45 seconds to a minute to load this forum page now. Any ideas on how this rooting method could have negatively affected my 3g speed?

EDIT: I just saw your manual way to get it to run a few pages back i am going to try that once it finishes downloading.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
It could be the new radio doesn't work well on your area. If updating your PRL and Profile doesn't fix it you may want to try downgrading.

It could be spring too though, their 3G is real flaky like that where I am
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Run the RUU and you should be good, that usually fixes it for most people.

Let me know if it gives you any more trouble though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
It looks like I spoke to soon on the update. I was able to get a root prompt (# sign), and it gave me access to a few things, but it didn't have a root ID.

Thing is the script uses that ID to tell if it has root or not... so it doesn't recognize it as rooted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Phil71185:
Does that mean this won't work or am i still ok trying this i am still waiting for the download to complete downloaded the ruu first :)

not really draging their butts this new one is harder to root xHausx is working on getting it to work with on autoroot right now HBOOT2.10 and build 3.70 has a manual step to it other wise you can use [ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02/2.10 SOFF - The Savior Edition - Upd. 12.26.10 but i have confidence in xHausx that he will have it done soon

I got mine rooted and wroking and am now using Fresh Rom..gonna try a few more

What I did:

After several attempts at this (mostly user error)I finally got this wroking on my EVO ver 3.30 hBoot 2.02.0000. I first ahd to make sure I was using the HTC drivers and not the unrevoked. I thought I had hosed my phone a few times but always manged to get it back..if you are trying this, make sure you have a Micro SD USB card reader...this will save you A LOT of headaches. Everytime it screwed up I could always put the sd card in my reader and see it on my MAC and put the PC36IMG.ZIP file on the root of my SD card. Fortunetly I was always able to get into recovery mode and let the PC36IMG.ZIP file load as soon as it went into recovery mode. That saved me SOOOOOO MANY Times! Once I got it back to stock I always did an RUU to clean out anything as I wanted to xHausx's autoroot script. I used waht I belive is hi most recent ver (ver1.94) nad went all the way with out a hitch!

I then DL'ed some root only apps from the market and they all worked! I am using the Amon Ra recovery and did a nandroid backup and then downloaded the fresh rom and am using it currently. It ROCKS! Just like the Autoroot

So a big thanks goes to xHausx for all his hard work and thanks to evrybody who helped along the way....I learned so much about this phone!

Thanks!!!

Hey i'm kinda a noob when it comes to phone stuff. I was wondering if i gave you like $5 through paypal, you could walk me through rooting my phone on teamviewer or aim. I just really really don't wanna break my 4g keys or brick my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
i know how you feel but trust me this method and the other guide is very self explanitory if your

READ IT

all the way through and follow it to the T. auto root is even easier just plug read and click basically losing your 4G keys happens if you flash a radio that was not extracted out of a RUU or You use clockword mod on new hardware. I humbley deny your offer for the money because i have confidence you can do it since you atleast know how to find the threads on how to do it belive me i have had people ask and not even know where to start
