OK, so fastboot will be installed with htc sync and hboot is unnecessary?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ed531@comcast.net:
Flash Problem

Thank you for all your work on this Rooted perfectly. One thing I noticed is that now I have no flash support just see a blue box after rooting. I installed Flash 10.3 from market to see if that would help but did nothing. Any help would be appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
yup, you can even uninstall htc sync again if you like. We only need it because it's the easiest way to install the drivers

There is something in the ROM that is causing that, give this a try:

with your phone plugged in run the "openshell" script that is included with the autoroot folder, then type:

adb remount
adb shell rm /system/lib/libflashplayer.so

once you do that flash 10.3 should work
[EVO 4G Android Development] ed531@comcast.net:
Worked like a champ thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] eejayyeahuuh:
This method works with HW 004?

Can we get a mirror. This is downloading really slow.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JustLok:
xhausx, quick question. I'm already rooted with your autoroot, would I be able to use the Sprint Hotspot that's in the menu for free? Or would I have to use the wi-fi hotspot instead to bypass Sprint's tethering fee?

Also I know it's not a lot, but I've dropped some coin. I hope that's at least enough for a beer! :D

Confirm #:89581720BK5275238
[EVO 4G Android Development] eejayyeahuuh:
419MB with 2 hours left to download. Anyone know why it's so slow? I'm sure it's not supposed to take this long.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Thanks man, it depends on the rom you are using. Sprint lovers should be unlocked.

Mega upload is usually pretty fast but sometimes you'll just get a bad connection. You should be copious with an 004 as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JustLok:
Thanks for the reply. It's the default rom that's included after doing the autoroot. By that then I assume that I will be able to use the sprint hotspot. Only one way to tell? :p
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
good ol swype,

copious=alright lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] benshtc:
Xhuas, when I rooted using your method I was left with a modded version of amon recovery 2.3 which I really liked and was hoping someone, preferably xhuas, could post this xhuasx mod 2.3 recovery. I flashed the regular amon 2.3 recovery the other day because I was having an issue with mounting my sd ext and now when I go in and out of recovery the screen gets these weird color banding where as in yours it worked fine
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
ya, the first version of that recovery wasn't able to mount ext partitions correctly but the newer one should work ok with ext2 and ext3 partitions. ext4 still may give it trouble though
[EVO 4G Android Development] defjef123:
Thanks. Worked great
[EVO 4G Android Development] mcskibadee1:
Went through the first 50 pages and saw talk of a way to do this with a mac. Has this been done yet? I literally have no access to a PC.

I'm not for sure what causes that but every now and again that will happen to someone, usually all it needs is for the script to be restarted and it will continue on like normal.

thanks, it appears it was an issue with a newer version of htc sync. Once that was uninstalled and the linked 2.5xx verion was installed alone it went right through
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Figures, I guess I'm going to have to make it check what sense version is installed. HTC has done everything they can to make the new sync interfere with other apps that talk to the phone.

Just guided my mom on how to root her phone with this tool over the phone. Went flawless. That's 3 phones rooted, thanks again
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
It looks like something is interrupting it. If you have pdanet or HTC sync 3.xx installed try uninstalling it while rooting. The USB cable you are using could be bad too, if you have another I would try it with that one.

[EVO 4G Android Development] manooti:
this bat is awesome man!

just rooted my phone but ran into 2 problems. radio v2 failed to update and some other thing last in the bootloader failed to update but everything works.

also tried to run the autoroot.bat again but it didnt go into bootloader to flash anything so i dont know if i should go the extra mile to fix whatever happened. it seems to work now tho.

i also had to override the proxy because 4g and 3g failed on me after root.

its my 2nd evo. first one took me a month to get a replacement for because they didnt know how to fix the 4g streaming issue. it was before everyone started posting on how to fix it.

i was hesitant to root because of the streaming issue but i went ahead and did it since everyone posted a proxy fix for sprints bull****.

so much easier with this automated file man ty :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] GadgetViews:
Thanks for the Bat. Program.. just got done rooting my brand new replacement evo after being out of the box less than an hour ago :) THANK YOU!

System Upgrade 4.22.651.2 (109.21MB) - FOTA update

Several months of using Universal Auto Root w/ the Sprint Lovers ROM I could not be more pleased, this has worked flawlessly (excepting user error) day in and day out. Last night I decided to check for updates, lo and behold "System Software Updates" check provided the following...

A system update is available

Would you like to download the following system software update?

System Upgrade 4.22.651.2 (109.21MB)

- FOTA update

Download via mobile network, Wi-Fi or 4G [checked]

Download vi Wi-Fi only [unchecked]​

Obviously I clicked [Cancel], and then did a full nandroid backup and copied it to my PC! Questions, is this Gingerbread upgrade that is warned about on the first post of this thread and what are the likely consequences of accepting this from HTC/Sprint on my EVO Universal Auto Root'ed with Sprint Lovers ROM phone?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
It won't let you update with sprint lovers so you'll need to flash the rom by hand. The link is in my sig for it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] AXHEJAZ:
4.22.651.2 Gingerbread ROOT???

HI and thank you all at xda developers for your help!!! OK now i have unfortunately updated my evo 4g to the new 4.22.651.2 gingerbread. I noticed a message saying i can't use the current auto root to root the 4.22.651.2 gingerbread. So how can i root than? If anyone can give me information i'd really appreciate it.

Thank You,

AXHEJAZ :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
You will have to wait until xHausx updates the script, as stated in the OP. There is no way to root right now since the update just came out, so give it some time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jim M:
I seem to be stuck at "Verifying Bootloader Status"

EDIT:

I exited the .bat by using Ctrl C

Rebooted my phone and ran the autoroot.bat again, all went smoth the second time.

Thank you for this ez root.
[EVO 4G Android Development] METHOD1911:
What's up Jim can I ask you have you removed any bloatware from your phone
[EVO 4G Android Development] Scooterman1:
Hopefully, the script will be updated soon!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jim M:
I dropped my old EVO in the lake while docking my boat, I almost went in too, it would have been very cold water. Alas, I had to file a claim through Asurian.

I ran the root script on the phone before I ever activated it, so no the phone was completly stock when I ran the EZ Root program.

No worries now, and am back to Calkulins Evio 1.8 after rooting. going to give some time for him to work his magic with the new official Gingerbread before switching.

[EVO 4G Android Development] MRBULLRED:
im stuck at the white htc evo 4g screen... I noticed prior to this i still seen s-on and it says no pc36img when trying to use bootloader.. how can i mount the sd to put a new img file via usb?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
You'll want to restart it while in the recovery, it should be able to finish from there. To get there hold vol down while turning there phone on and go to recovery, then you should be able to restart autoroot and it finish.

If you need to run the pc36img to restore your phone place it in the autoroot folder and the FlashZip script will be able to flash it over usb.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MRBULLRED:
alright i hit recovery and the phone went to the red triangle with exclamation point.. i went back to autoroot and now it says" the phone could not be found or was not ready. ADB and Fast boot report it "recovery" instead of 'device'. make sure adb debugging is turned on, the phone is in the correct mode and that you are using htcs evo drivers that come with htc sync...
[EVO 4G Android Development] MRBULLRED:
okay just realized i was using the autoroot 2.2 version.. so i went to 2.5 and did what you said and it hangs up at phone is flashing unrevoked foreever. you should see a circular icon with a green arrow pointing down for a moment and then it will restart a couple of times.... ........ now it said timed out while waiting on your phone to reboot.... the funny thing is it never leaves the red triangle screen.. i never seen the green circle screen...
[EVO 4G Android Development] MRBULLRED:
okay, just did it again and it worked.. thanks for your fast response.. you da man..
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
The charging port on my launch day Evo finally went out, so Sprint gave me a replacement at the store which ended up being junk(overheating/rebooting) and I'm now on my third Evo within a week's time. I just used this script to root this phone, and wanted to say thanks for taking the time to make the rooting process so easy! The rooting process a year ago wasn't so simple... Never thought all I would have to do is plug my phone in, open a program on my computer and wait for it to finish. Awesome :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
Just a quick question, though, where can I get a flashable zip of the modified Sprint Lovers ROM that you included?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jim M:
This went so well and easy I just ran it on my wife's EVO and a friend's.

A donation is heading your way.

Sent from my EVO, stay thirsty

my friends. ~Jim
[EVO 4G Android Development] cougar11:
hey haus !

jus a quick question....i run the AutoRoot.bat and then everything is fine until it reboots into boot loader and it just stays there (step 7 i think) then i press Bootloader (by pressing power button) and it doesnt ask to load the PC36 zip file??? it does says LOADING PC36IMG then right under it says NO IMAGE n wat not and then it takes off n nothing happens or it does ask for anything? i mean i saw wen the AutoRoot was pushing the file to the sd card....?wat do i need to do??

THANKS IN ADVANCED!!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
There may be something up with your sd card that is preventing it from seeing it. Try to mount it as a disk drive and have windows check it for errors.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JAMRZ69:
AUTOROOT will not recognize my evo running 3.70 froyo 2.2

Had to unroot my phone now im stuck with a stock 3.70 rom used unrevoked forever son to unroot and flashed pcimg36 3.70 now nothing i do will recognize the phone tried autoroot tried unrevoked forever i can connect my phone to the laptop but for some reason neither program will recognize it any help would be greatly appreciated laptop is running vista i installed the drivers everything im out of ideas definately dont want to stay stock need root please help thank you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Did you remember to turn usb debugging back on?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JAMRZ69:
yes usb debugging is on
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
how about htc sync, is that able to find it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JAMRZ69:
NOPE nothing recognizes it but i can still select disk drive and i can add or delete files to my sd card im totally confused
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
It sounds like it is your drivers then. Try uninstalling them all and then using the ones that come with htc sync. You may need to use the 'repair install' option from htc sync setup.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cougar11:
wen i select disk drive....i can see the PC#^IMG file that was pushed from using AutoRoot.bat but idk what else to do...?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JAMRZ69:
I' ve done that no dice
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Right click on it -> properties -> Tools -> Scan Now

do you have another pc you can try it from? if that still doesn't work then you may have a bad cable or busted usb port
[EVO 4G Android Development] JAMRZ69:
Tried from a different computer still wont recognize this is driving me crazy
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mayonesa:
this wont erase the SD card right?

i got a new Evo so i have stuff on the card from the 1st evo i had.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
nope, your sd card should be safe. It's not a bad idea to back it up anyway though, it seems like they have been getting corrupted/wiped a lot here lately for some reason :/
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mayonesa:
i do have a back up.. not a clean back up but a full back up.....

now my 1st evo i rooted the old fashion way.

but i installed the sync and downloaded the V2.5 full root... should i connect the evo and sync it before i run the program?

i just got this evo a few hours ago lol brand new replacement
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
you should be ok to run it as is unless you had them transfer your stuff over, this will perform a factory reset on it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mayonesa:
ok well. i am rooted again... it was fast!

now i used the card that came with the phone just in case something happened.

i can use my old card with everything the same as i left it from my old evo right?

time to look for a rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] JAMRZ69:
What would cause the phone to not communicate with either autoroot or unrevoked but i can change it to disk drive and see all my files on the sd card and add or delete files from my laptop?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Could be a number of things. Will 'adb devices' recognize your phone with it in sync mode instead of charge only?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
Any way to get a flashable zip of the exact ROM that's included? I figured out that I can rename the zip file with the ROM in there and run it through the bootloader but it also 'updates' the Wimax and radios to the old versions... would rather just have a flashable zip if possible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Yup, you can find the ROM by itself in the Sprint Lover's thread here.

You can also use the FlashZip script to flash the rom over usb instead of renaming it, just put it in the same folder as it and you'll be good to go.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JAMRZ69:
No adb wont recognize nor htc sync
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
If you've tried on more than one computers and it still doesn't work than the only thing it could be is your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] JAMRZ69:
Could it have anything to do with the pc36img that i flashed through bootloader couldnt i put another pc36img and run it and see if that changes anything?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
It's possible but unlikely, are you s-off?
[EVO 4G Android Development] JAMRZ69:
No unfortunately im s-on with 2.10 bootloader and 3.70 rom
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
If you were s-on when you flashed the pc36img then the file should have been good, they are signed and the bootloader will reject the file if anything gets changed. You can try reflashing it just to make sure but other than that there is not much you can do software wise on your phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rhyme187:
whats the progress looking like on updating the script bro?
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
I have a possible exploit we may be able to use but it will need to be modified to work with android and there is no guarantee it will work. So, unless someone surprises everyone one with something, it looks like it will still be awhile.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sidology:
Would using HTCSync drivers from HTC's site work?. The current version is 3.0.5511 and it let me install drivers without installing HTCSync, i would imagine it should but im not sure, my phone isn't recognized in bootloader(im able to use adb when its in the rom though and it recognizes it fine) so i dont want to start the rooting process and have it not work in the bootloader.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cougar11:
AWESOME! thanks Haus, that seemed to do the trick!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
You should be ok with the 3.xx drivers, once you put the phone in fastboot mode it usually shows up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] patrick0823:
Does it work on gingerbread
[EVO 4G Android Development] therealmkl:
Haus,

Do you know if it's possible to downgrade from the Gingerbread update to 3.7 and run the Auto root from there? It sounds good to me in theory but I was just curious since I decided to go back to stock and play with the upgrade for a while just for kicks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
If you have s-off it's possible, although in that case it would be easier to run the FlashZip script and have it just flash the recovery
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
Awesome, thank you. And thanks again for the script that made everything ridiculously easy!

It would be awesome if something like this is available soon after launch for the Evo 3D when it comes out, but I know that's unlikely, lol.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ahbroody:
So pissed I broke my old evo and did the update was not rooted and now I am stuck it appears and this gingerbread release is horrible for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Unknownforce:
Yeah, I waited slightly too long to get my evo replaced... so now I have a brand new evo... No root... :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] Wifflepig:
If you're stuck on the new HBOOT, it has a locked recovery mode and isn't downgradable. Folks with S-ON are reporting that it fails when trying to RUU back to Froyo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Stuke00:
Download the PCIMG36.zip file for Amon_RA recovery. If you have S-OFF, it will flash and you can flash another rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] likwid687:
Disappointed that I couldn't hit 'Thanks' on the original article, but thanked one of your other posts, Haus. Unrevoked didn't work for me but this worked like a charm. Thank you VERY much. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] tyler.durden:
I just had mine replaced a few days ago too, and made sure to tell the guy NOT to update it when he was switching everything over(I have heard some Sprint reps like to do that). No Evo ships with 2.3.3 yet(that I've heard) so you should be able to use this script without any problem.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Unknownforce:
Well see, they updated it without me knowing. So I'm out of luck. I'm on 4.22.651.2, latest HBOOT, S-On.
