Well it would not work for me....I tried so many things and no go...I thought it was rooted but it was not..

I did th RUU to take it to stock image and then ran auto root..it went until flashing firmware and rebboted and said congradulations your rooted...It did not go through

the part where it takes you into hboot menu and load from there and then into recovery mode. I tried it manually and loaded the pc36img manually and then flashed from there and went into recovery mode but all I got was the Phone image with a triangel in the corner...i tried several times. always starting from scrath with fresh image via RUU and the same thing always happens
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
The updated autoroot I just posted.should work for you. If your phone shows s-off the last one should have too though
[EVO 4G Android Development] guitarman4535:
Cannot figure this out...

I am by no means new to rooting as I rooted my Hero without issue. I have now moved up to the Evo and had the phone for a day and thought I would root it and get rid of the sprint ware.

I followed the instructions but when the phone booted to the recovery(black screen/red triangle!) the .bat file never continued(step 6). After 15 minutes, I killed the bat file and pulled the battery on my phone.

Now all the phone will do is boot to the white HTC EVO 4G screen and sit there. If I hold the Vol Dwn and power up, it will boot into the bootloader and ask if I want to run the PC36IMG update.

I can see the phone in the recovery section with adb devices but I cannot do much else. I have tried pushing different PC36IMG.zip files to it in hopes that if I run it again it will restore back to factory. When using any of the RUU.exe files, it says it cannot find the phone. I cannot see the SDcard mounted and I fear my phone is bricked.

I have been at this for several hours and am subsequently spent. I have searched and tried various things on this forum in hopes of just putting it back to factory defaults. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
To run the ruu bring up the bootloader and push power to select fastboot, your computer should recognize the phone once you do that.

A few posts back I attached an update that should work much better
[EVO 4G Android Development] guitarman4535:
It asks be to make sure that the phone is connected to the computer via usb and gives the following string of letters.

abd dfksfsafjsdfkklsj

After a minute, it comes back with it cannot be found.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Sounds like something is wrong with either the ruu or your drivers. If you installed unrevokeds drivers you have to completely uninstall them and then reinstall htc sync our it will not work right.

Trying to restore Recovery

I updated to the 3.70.651.1 OTA. But before I checked it out, I started the Unrevoked Forever root method. It appeared to fail. But now, Recovery isn't working and z4root won't do its job.

I tried restoring using the RUU 3.29.651.5 exe file. But it said it couldn't update the ROM.

Which RUU should I use? The note says not to use 3.70.651.1 unles the phone came with it.

HW version 0003.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
If you set a # sign when you are in 'adb shell' you can flash the mtd-eng.img and that will allow you to downgrade. I would only use 3.29 if that is what your phone came with though, if your phone came with the 2.02 hboot you must use 3.30
[EVO 4G Android Development] guitarman4535:
I went back and used the 3.29 on a different computer and it "appears" to be working... I am back! You rock!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
New Version Up!

Version 1.9.4 is up!

Changes are:

Fixed where it would hang at start up (it may do it first try but should work normally afterward)

Fixed it not flashing unrevoked forever correctly on certain phones

Fixed it sometimes not finding the phone after flashing unrevoked forever

Changed the version number in the Sprint Lovers PC36IMG to allow unrooting/downgrading with older RUUs

Cleaned up some of the code

Fixed where 2.02/2.10 hBoot phones would reject flashing ROM/recovery when NAND was already unlocked
[EVO 4G Android Development] xx1479:
Trying 1.9.3

3.29.651.5

stuck on "searching for phone......."

HTC Synch installed, usb debugging enabled. am i missing something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
If you close it out and try again it should go through. Let me know if it doesn't though
[EVO 4G Android Development] xx1479:
I've tried that. Still a no go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xx1479:
Nevermind, going through now!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
darn I thought I fixed that. You may need to open then dos prompt and run it through there then.

You can open it through your start menu, type 'cmd' and it should bring up the prompt. From there use cd to get to your autoroot folder and try from there
[EVO 4G Android Development] xx1479:
You did fix it. I went Ctrl+C out of it and just as I hit it it went through.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
right on, guess its still kind of flaky getting going but it should be alright once it gets past there
[EVO 4G Android Development] xx1479:
Looks good so far, thanks for your hard work.

Just got the phone yesterday. HW 0004. I did upgrade to 3.70 unfortunately. i thought we cant upgrade when its rooted. What is the easiest and best way to root this phone. I would like to flash to myn's 2.2 ROM. TIA
[EVO 4G Android Development] kusports:
Sprint Lovers ROM

xHausx,

Which Sprint Lovers ROM version is included? Is it the 3.7x?

Thanks,

Don
[EVO 4G Android Development] xx1479:
It is indeed 3.7x
[EVO 4G Android Development] aph:
Awesome!! Used this last night on a new 0004 with 3.30 with 2.02. Super easy!

Question... A friend of mine on 0003 hardware had rooted his phone with unrEVOked 3, & was running the STOCK Rom (3.29) & kernel (#11). This morning he inadvertently updated via OTA to 3.70 & #15, & thus unrooted his EVO. Can he regain root access with this method?

I'm just trying to help him regain root access, thanks in advance!!! :-)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
he should still have s-off if that the case download the file and extract the rom and just flash the rom and he will be rooted again
[EVO 4G Android Development] fredrik949:
will the autoroot process automatically install sprint lover rom, also will it automatically update the kernel?
[EVO 4G Android Development] RizzoPro:
1.92 still not working

I tried the new bat file (1.92) and the same thing happens but nothing after that. It goes stright to Congradulations but no root. The first time I did this I got alot more after flashing....any ideas? I always try this after a fresh RUU has been done. If I go to the recovery screen it tells me that it is S-OFF so I know that something is working but no root. Ive attached my autoroot log file. Thanks!!

How can I get sig verification to work?

Ok, so here's the story. I've done this method to 2 devices, both hdwr 0004 with stock 3.30.651.2 and everything goes according to instructions... However, when the it tries to reflash the new rom, the signature verification fails...every time. Any ideas? My apologies if I'm bumping.

any1 know if this will work for hboot 2.10??
[EVO 4G Android Development] jhasty:
su says permission denied.

That is the problem. I cannot get to the # prompt. AFAIK, z4root is the only way to get there. It appears to work, but ROM MANAGER says I'm not rooted and when I try to do su I get permission denied.

I'm assuming that z4root is not working because Recovery has ClockWorkMod installed and isn't compatible with 3.70. If someone knows of another reason that z4root isn't working (or another exploit), I'm all eyes.

Anybody get their hw 004 with hboot 2.10 rooted with this method. I've rooted like 5 heros, but I've read so many different ways with different versions and restrictions on rooting the evo.

I didn in fact get a barnd new EVo (not refurbished) but it came with 0004 HW and as I have spent a cpl hours here while at work reading most of all the threads in the Topic, I have to ask - Can I use this method to root my EVO with these specs?

in order to uninstall the old drivers that were put in place for unrevoked I just need to open device manager>click on android phone>htc device> and uninstall correct?

Thanks for all the help this is becoming very frustrating for me. I have rooted 2 evo's in the past and many other windows devices and I have never had this kind of trouble.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fredrik949:
yes just unitsall it from device manager, just google htc sync and they should come up. Before you do that try this: open command prompt and run autoroot, when it tell you waiting for phone hit ctrl C and Y to cancel. then run autoroot again. that worked for me. let me know if that works

Not Completely Rooted

I used Autoroot 1.8 and had a difficult time rooting, and I think it was completely rooted ?? Several days later I flashed a rooted 3.70 Sprint-Lovers, and since then never could get into a 'proper' or full restore. S=off When I installed VM Heap Tool it said "System Write Required - write access for the system partition was not established... make sure you have full root". I have partial root because ROM Mgr and Titanium work, but clearly something is not right. My question: can I run Autoroot 1.9.4 over the top? Thanks Hdw 4; hboot 2.02 S=off

i am following these instructions http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9187779&postcount=2

and all has seemed smooth until after step 6 when my phone reboots i don't have super user permissions, but it says it should be rooted at this step. when i type adb shell and hit enter into the command promt i get # like it says i should, but it doesn't seem that it is rooting the phone. i installed rom manager and tried to install both clockwork and ra recovery, and both of them failed. i'm lost at this point

If I use Universal Auto Root v1.9.4 will that mess with my 4G?
[EVO 4G Android Development] skeith223:
Mine went fine with same specs...hopes this helps.. I think you can also use unrevoked with that hboot number I did on my wifes and it went fine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] skeith223:
Yes this should work for you if you have tried any other rooting method I would run the ruu first if not your fine,however if you do run the ruu make sure it is 3.30
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
What's the difference between this and Unrevoked? This method is more straightforward. Am I giving up or risking anything?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowtide:
Take a look at the front page of the thread, it is in nice blue font easy to see:

"If you have accepted the update for 3.70 you will need to root manually using the instructions in Zikronix's thread. Remember that you should never accept OTA updates if you plan on rooting.

Once I am comfortable that all the kinks are worked out of version 1.9 I will update it to include phones running 3.70."
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowtide:
In theory AutoRoot should work fine. I have this same set up, I ended up using Zikronix's thread to root mine. I started with the AutoRoot but I was running into errors when it was waiting for the phone sometimes. I think the script it great, but I was a little impatient and wanted to get it done instead of troubleshooting the problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Menotti:
So I am connecting to my machine and had the proper ADB driver installed. At one point, I did see the "My HTC Device" or something to that effect in device manager.

However, now when I connect to my PC in charge-only mode, it is only detected as a "usb mass storage device"

USB debugging is enabled

HTC Sync is installed and running

USB driver via the SDK is installed

any ideas?

Hi All

I tried this and it didnt work completly. I got my phone working and I noticed in the recovery screen that it is in the S-OFF mode. Its not rooted but I was wondering what I could do with it in this mode? I was hoping I could contiue to try to root from this mode.

Any ideas
[EVO 4G Android Development] JayStation3:
What are the specs of your phone?

Maybe it works for certain ppl/phones and maybe it didnt work for yours cause of the parameters of the specs...

I too am about to use this method to root my replacment EVO... and am looking for any one with any success using it... I have talked to 3 ppl via PM that have said this worked for them and two of the three had the same hardware/firmware/hBoot that I currently have...

What are your specs??
[EVO 4G Android Development] Maddball:
Wow!! This is great! Will this root the new EVO's?

Hi

Its an EVO with 3.30 Firmware 3.30 and hboot 2.02.0000. I just tried something else and I now have the clockwork recovery v2.5.0.1 working and my phone still works and the S-OFF is working but still no root...any Ideas?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Menotti:
Is there any way to roll back from OTA 3.7?
[EVO 4G Android Development] RizzoPro:
UPDATE

I think I have root now what id did: My EVO phone had hboot 2.02.0000 with 3.30 firmware. I tried unrevoked which didnt completely root. I did however get the Clockwork Recovery working and the phone was still working.I found this out by installing Titanium Backup. I rant TB and I had no root , it said I needed busy box and found that when I clicked on problems, it gave me the option to install busybox.

I ran a few other apps that needed root and they all worked.

So, my question is, how do I tell if I am fully rooted?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] RizzoPro:
Sorry..when I tried rom manager I couldnt because it said an error occured attempting to run priveleged commands. I think Im close but no cigar yet

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] JayStation3:
Do you have the SuperUser Icon in your apps drawer?
[EVO 4G Android Development] stricklerjosh:
So unrevoked worked for you with hboot 2.02 and software 3.30?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JayStation3:
My software version and build number is

SOFTWARE NUMBER: 3.30.651.3

I noticed in post number 1 - it doesnt have files for .3, only .2

Does this matter? I have had a few ppl say this method will work with my specs, but I am concerned about the RUU if some thing goes wrong... can I use the files ending in .2 for the software ending in .3??
[EVO 4G Android Development] JayStation3:
unrevoked does not work with 2.02/3.30... it may seem like it works after you run it - but IT WILL BREAK your wifi and 4G...

once your keys radios are broken, from what I understand - are not fixable...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
Bro unrevoked forever not unrevoked3

works with the new radios that's what all the new root methods are using this to unlock nand

Sent from my EVO at the edge of hell

Yeah I meant to add that - but got sidetracked...

Unrevoked3 does not work, but forever does and its primary purpose is to unlock NAND...sorry

[EVO 4G Android Development] rulevoid:
I also have 3.30.651.3 version, can i use the 3.30.651.2 files? Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowtide:
Yes, you can put the RUU the .2 version back to your phone if you need to. It has the same radios and wimax versions. The .3 was just a small patch for .2 - for the camera I think.

I rooted mine fine and I was HW 0004 and SW 3.30.651.3 when I started.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
All right guys with 3.30 phones the ruu for your phone is the .2 i know some of you are running .3 but .3 is a minor update and different kernel to .2 so you can use this root method and ruu to the .2 and be fine hope this has been helpful
[EVO 4G Android Development] JayStation3:
Thanks guys! This is very helpful! Now I feel confident in trying this method... Thanks!

Merry Christmas!

[EVO 4G Android Development] RizzoPro:
I booted into the EVO recovery and not the clockmod one and it loaded the PC36IMG.zip file automatically and got it back to the stock image and the phoen is working again. Ill try something again here and report back. Sure am learning alot of stuff here! So its been kind of fun and frustrating at the same time....

Thanks for everybody's help so far!
[EVO 4G Android Development] RizzoPro:
Ok...just tried the new 1.94 Autoroot and I believe it worked!! It just took a long time to boot up after it was done...thought I was hosed as it got to the HTC quietly brilliant screen as it just stayed there for awhile (i thought it was stuck). But it fianlly booted and I downloaded Rom Manager and it started without a hitch. It asked for root service and I said ok and no problems! Yea!

Thanks!

Now I get to find out what this phone will really do!
