Were you ever able to see your screen blur? It looks like you kept canceling out of it while it was trying to get root.

Sent from my EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Yup, that sounds like your anti virus is finding the exploit and erasing it. You're probably missing the autoroot.apk as well seeing that there is another copy of rage in it.

i have been trying to reroot my evo since 4pm :'( been a total failure... my 3rd time thru and every time it gets stuck at the "waiting for Boatloader status" and once i waited like 45-60 minutes to see if the instructions would come up like the guide said to do it thru boot loader but it didnt... i have hardware 004 (idk if that matters). hboot 2.02 (which for some reason is now 2.10) and i tried updating the software to v3.29 then 3.70 & still stuck...i am desperate, if anyone is still awake, please help :'( i probably just will live without a phone until i get it rooted....so far looks like a loooong weekend ahead
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
You may need to unplug the phone for a second and then reconnect it. Some times it doesn't always recognize it when it reconnects. One you do that you should be able to restart autoroot and it will pick back up where it left off.

If you can post the autorootlog.txt file from the autoroot folder that will show what happened to it.

since i have 2.4 can i only download the 2.5 tools and copy them over
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
yup, the only difference between the two is ones missing the eng firmware's pc36img, the sprint lovers pc36img and the autoroot.bat. The two pc36imgs are the same in 2.4 and 2.5 and the new autoroot.bat is attached.
[EVO 4G Android Development] busybox1980:
I Have had the same problem, but only with my wifes White EVO, I had to re-root it last night after sending it in for repairs. What I found I had to do is install a clean old RUU and as it boots up run the Auto-Root. But same issue took me about 4 hours last night I finally got it to re-rooted.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Maikock:
so what your saying is, once it starts the boatloader on the phone and it says waiting for boatloader on the command prompt to just unplug it, then plug it back in and rerun the autoroot script?

i tried starting up the scipts myself and it didnt work (last night)... installed the pc36ing.zip then went to recovery and just ran the recovery script and it installed the recovery. but when i booted back into boatloader my nand was still s-on...

i will get the autorootlog.txt when i do it later today and will try what you said... will be trying again later today around 3:15pm. should have an autorootlog up around 345 if it continues to get stuck past the replugging... if not, thanks a million.

i keep getting the archive is either in unknown format or damaged when trying to extract, tried 2.4 and 2.5, MU and zshare links. ive tried winzip, 7zip, and winrar nothing works. any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Its not resizing your phone in fastboot for some reason, have you tried reinstalling htc sync? Also make sure your anti virus and firewall are disabled as well as pda net and any other programs that will interfere with it.

If you are still unable to get a reliable connection you can always do it by hand too. Just run it till it stops and close it out, then run the FlashZip script and select the pc36img_ud.zip. Once that finishes tell it not to reboot and use the power button to select bootloader, and then recovery. At this point it should bring up a red triangle with an exclamation mark, from there restart autoroot and it should be able to continue on.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Maikock:
thats the thing tho, i have just run the flashzip and it says it cant find a phone

'Can't find the phone! Put the phone in fastboot mode to flash this.'

when the phone IS in fastboot. should i manually run the pc36img.zip script that it pushed, then go into recovery and run the autoroot again?

EDIT: okay! i did this and it got all the way up to the boatloader again! but this time s-on was actually s-off...it said that it could not find the phone again, what batch/script should i run? or am i officially rooted and can just reboot into recovery and start flashing away?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
When it is in fastboot run FlashZip again except this time flash the sprint lovers zip. Once that finishes you'll be good to go.

Sent from my EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] Maikock:
when in fast boot and run the flashzip, it says

cant find the phone! put the phone in fastboot mode to flash this.

again

EDIT: windows firewall and avg are both disabled, i got the newest htc sync and got further so idk what is up with fastboot...

so i went to recovery pushed the temporary recovery, renamed the sprint lovers rom as pc36img.zip and flashed thru fastboot, now im in the rom and it seems to be rooted...i think im rooted lol...

gonna try doing pushing a recovery and flashing the radios update and whatnot...looks like im back on my feet, thank you soooo much for helping me. i appreciate it!

quick QUESTION tho... am i now able to push ANY recoveries i want? cuz i know that the last unrevoked root i had said do not flash another recovery because it could brick my phone...is that not the case anymore?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
If all fails you can always rename it to pc36img, place it on your sd card and then flash it through the hboot.

Sent from my EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] Maikock:
awesome! thats exactly what i did. so just wanted to know, recovery wise, should i not EVER flash another recovery.img? or is it completely safe now to flash any? i was on a previous unrevoked root and it said never to flash any recovery...or does the recovery need to be compatible in someway like with the hboot ver.??
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
With your phone you will want to stay with newer roms and recoveries, but you shouldn't have any trouble flashing anything. Just keep in mine that your phone is not compatible with any hboots that are not version 2.xx. Downgrading to the engineering hboot well brick it.

Sent from my EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] Maikock:
So would that mean since I'm hboot 2.10 now. That I should never flash anything that makes my hboot anything below 2.10?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dbu:
Is this the best way to root the Evo? I am very familiar with Android/rooting but I am not familiar with the Evo, a friend at here at work wants me to root his phone and there seems to be a lot of options for this device. I am torn between this method and Unrevoked, I don't know any of the pros/cons with these 2 methods. Looking for a little guidance. Thanks...
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
The 2.02 hboot will work but I don't think the 2.10 will let you downgrade it. There is a modified version of the eng hboot that will trick it into letting you downgrade but if your phone has the new type of memory it won't be able to flash anything and you'll brick your phone.

It mainly depends on what you're looking for. This way uses the built in update routines to flash the software, which is safer and will leave you with a clean install, but it also takes longer. Unrevoked takes a lot less time and will leave your settings intact but if something goes wrong there is a chance of it permanently damaging your phone. In the end either way should leave you with a fully unlocked phone.

As for ease of use, I don't think either way can get much easier tbh. With autoroot all you have to do is install htc sync and make sure your antivirus or any apps like pda net wont interfere with it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Heaterz16:
I re-rooted my wife's phone tonight using this method since it was similar to the manual way I did it the first time. It worked excellent! Thanks for your hard work! For some reason, the first time it tried to flash the recovery image it didn't take, rebooted and acted like it was flashing the update (green circle and arrow) but was stuck on phone with exclamation point. I patiently waited, it timed out, realized it didn't flash the recovery properly, automatically flashed recovery again, rebooted and continued on its' own. Awesome program!!! I highly recommend this tool!

unzip the attach file into the autoroot directory and start it as admin, it should let you open up a dos prompt. Once it does you'll need to type the following to fix your dos settings

They gave you a bad phone, I can help you try to fix it but you're best bet is to send it back and tell them to give you a brand new one instead. The reboot issue will most likely return if you keep that one.

If Asurion can't fix a phone it's not uncommon for them to get it working just good enough to pawn off on someone, I've had them do the same thing to me before.
