Sorry for the double post. I posted that here, then decided it would probably be seen by more people as a new thread. After posting that one I learned I couldn't delete this one. Thanks for the info!

This question may have been asked before so apologies if it had but the search didn't help. What its the difference with between RA Recovery and clocwork? Which is"better"? I know its a matter of opinion, but that's what I'm looking for...

A n00b Forum sub-section? C00l, just where I belong...

Alrighty, then...

I finally got S-OFF and SuperUser with ClockWork on my previously GB'd 2.3.3 EVO.

My questions:

As I understand it, the phone is now "semi-rooted", as I have the S-OFF and SuperUser / ClockWork installed, but I still can't get rid of all the pre-loaded crap apps (Sprint NFL, NOVA, etc) that I don't use and never will.

To get my phone "fully rooted", I would need to now figure out which ROM I would like to use, flash it in, and test to see which I like the best. At that point, I should be able to flush the Sprint crap apps.

Am I tracking like a laser beam, or more like a blind greyhound?

I rooted my evo, and tried to do a backup of a rom I had just installed, (MikG 2.1) and after the backup it tried to reboot and got stuck on the white htc EVO 4G screen. Any ideas on how to fix this? I tried putting my sd card adapter into my laptop but for some reason it has never recognized the adapter, so it seems as if there isnt anything else to do. I feel stupid now because I had just deleted my stock rom backup. I did all sorts of wipes and cache wipes, still gets stuck. Maybe its a low battery? (wishful thinking, lol)
[EVO 4G General] Black-Dash:
Radio 2.15.00.05.02

Hboot 6.16

I think I may just have to use a friend's laptop to insert my sd card adapter to place a zip on my sd card. I tried restoring the backup but that came to be pointless if the backup is what caused this mishap.

EVO 4G Hung on Synergy load - HELP

Looked through several forums on this and other sites without success, so this is a last gasp. Loaded Synergy ROM on my rooted EVO 4G last week which went well. But I had some additional items to load, and (perhaps incorrectly) thought I would need to load the ROM as well as the widgets again. So I did (AMON-RA Recovery like the first time). Everything appeared to be fine through the process (wipe data-Davlik-cache - load Synergy then load carousel+widgets). The phone then loaded the Synergy start-up screen, but loops there continuously and doesn't do anything except repeats the start-up screen over and over.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ended up pulling the battery after 3 hours of this, restarted into recovery mode, wiped data/Davlik cache/Cache/ and reloaded SYNERGY. The EVO is working fine now.

re dev thread: [ROM][STOCK][10/25/11] 4.54.651.1 (w/ security ota)(rooted)

I just picked up an evo a few weeks ago, rcvd the ota update to 651.1. Want to root but from what I've seen post-wise and via the xda wiki it's not currently possible. I've read a lot but still can't tell for sure if it's possible.

I'm also not understanding how I'd be able to get back to 100% stock (unroot w/no traces) if I need to take phone back for some reason.

Thanks for this thread.

Excellent resource.
[EVO 4G General] h2oman256:
Thank you for all the resources you have posted here they have been immensely helpful in getting started.

I am a web developer and decided i might try to play around at a little android development. So I got my JDK's and my Android SDK and eclipse all in order and went to it. I got my hello world to run in an emulator so then I wanted to go ahead and try it out on the phone. I was having trouble getting the adb to see the phone, figured it was cause it was not rooted and ended up here.

I downloaded unrevoked3 for linux. This is where my trouble begins. First i just ran the reflash program that I extracted from the download. It got partway through and it said "Could not get root". I saw another post that said i may have to allow unrevoked to run as root so i ran the command.

$ gksudo ./reflash

This time it seemed to be working however after it rebooted the phone it seemed to hang on "Waiting for reboot..." This is where I am now. The phone is not charging despite being connected to usb. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I dont know if it will help but this is the output from the terminal:

(reflash:25202): Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/immodules/im-ibus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

(reflash:25202): Gtk-WARNING **: Loading IM context type 'ibus' failed

Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so
ERROR: n = -1, errno = 19 (No such device)
ERROR: n = -1, errno = 19 (No such device)

Got this to work. If you run ./reflash -help it shows other runtime options. In the end it seemed to be the -S option that allowed it to successfully run.

$ ./reflash -S

Help with rooting Evo 4g

Hi guys!

I am the proud owner of an htc evo and I love this phone. However, I would love to be able to get root access. I have looked all over the internet for a solution but nothing seems to work!!! I would not necessarily be looking to flash custom roms, but rather get free wifi tether and the likes up and running.

What I'm working with:

Software version: 3.70.651.1

Baseband version: 2.15.00.11.19

Hardware version: 003

Hboot version: -2.10.0001

And I only have access to an Ubuntu netbook (10.10)at the time being.

If anyone has any advice, that would be awesome!

P.S. I have tried multiple different root methods, including unrevoked, however my main problem lies in that I dont know what to do with the linux package.

Thanks!

There is a method of going back to stock, but can't remember. There is a wiki site they have that helps a lot.
[EVO 4G General] xfullmetal17:
Restore the nandroid backup you made before the screw-up and you should be fine. Worst-case scenario though, you'd have to flash the stock and RUU, which will put your phone back to the first day you got it.

[EVO 4G General] walkingsaltine:
I don't know if you can ever go back to "stock". Your best bet is once you have rooted your device is to make a backup after booting into recovery and then keep that backup. Flash as many different things to your device as you want and if something happens you can always boot into recovery and restore your original backup.

The only way to go back to stock is to find the original firmware package for the Evo and somehow install it to your device.
