Will be rooting my wife's new EVO this weekend. Is this the preferred method these days?
[EVO 4G Android Development] m20120:
It worked for me. I have rooted 3 different Evos wit unrevoked. Mine was a Hardware 0003 with 3.30, the wife's was Hardware 0004 with 3.70. I also was able to rooted one for a friend that was Hardware 0002. All were rooted without a hitch.

Is it safe to re-root over an older Unrevoked3?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] detcup4evr:
Please explain more? Do you have soff, and just need to reinstall recovery, and or super user (both in market)? Or did you flash s-on and need if back off, If u back completly stock u can run it again, if u have recovery installed u could just flash unrevoked4ever and turn soff, and install superuser from market

[EVO 4G Android Development] winkynatedog:
Ok so I sued to have unrevoked then I un-rooted my phone so I could take it to sprint, now I have re-rooted using the universal 2.4 method. I dont know why I used that methed but the phone is a little glitchy. I am just wondering am I able to just flash over it using unrevoked or do I have to go back to stock sprint and start over again? Also the newest clockwork recovery that is included is it wiping the dalvik properly, I know some people switched to amon ra's forthat reason? On the unrevoked.com page where it gives different recovery DL files and one of them is Amon ra's does anyone know which version it is? Thanks Nate

Issues with rooted Droid Incredible

I’m in need of some help!! I have a droid inc that was rooted for many months with no issues. I wanted to change the boot animation. To do this I was instructed to get a root explorer which from the market. I need to move the “bootanimation” file from the sd to the “system/media” folder. After doing this the device lost connection to many of the apps. They no longer showed as being installed on the device. I could no longer “install or uninstall” anything. When trying to restore apps from titanium backup I needed to reinstall them because the had lines through them as thought they were not installed, but the apps get stuck on “installing” I tried formatting the card and recopying the data back to it but that didn’t help, so I tried to wipe the device. Doing this I was able to re download titanium backup but still the same problem with the apps getting stuck on install. Finally I unrooted the device back to a stock rom at jonsuh.com/2011/01/unroot-your-droid-incredible/[/url] I now have installed the drivers and ran the unrevoked3 rom but I get hung up on the “installing unrevoked3 service” Please help me to get my dinc back to a working order where I can restore my titanium backup files.

Thanks, for any time and help

[EVO 4G Android Development] anthonyandrews:
It was mentioned in an earlier post SNOW LEOPARD only. I think some mac users might not know the difference between Snow Leopard and Leopard. Leopard was still compatible with some non-intel processors (im not sure if its G4&G5 or just G5?) Snow leopard was rebuilt with no binaries for non-intel processors. It was supposed to mac your intel macs faster and more streamlined. Whether it did or not is a seperate issue. Here is some clarification on the MacOSX version info. To find out your version info, go to the Apple Menu and choose About This Mac....Look for the version number. Mine 10.6.5.

Snow leopard is 10.6 and above.

10.5.8 is what you have. That is Leopard, not Snow Leopard.

[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
Zikroniks method is solid. To call it crappy is to want the 'it works but I don't know how and don't care' mentality) (Apple user, I'm guessing?)

When you use manual root methods, you actually 'learn' your phone, and is easier to troubleshoot problems. No dis to unrevoked, but zikronix is a genius, and to dis him, and all the support he offers is the thinking of a caveman/trogladite.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
And to clarify, I didn't use zikroniks method, I rooted right after launch, but have followed his thread a bit just to keep up so I can help.

As it's been mentioned with this announcement, I thought I'd link this thread as a major problem has been discovered with clockwork 3.0.0.2.

[EVO 4G Android Development] generalExpert:
I'm on hboot .97 and stock 3.29 sense, I rooted with unrevoked 3.22 and unrevoked forever. I updated with the combo .zip file my radio,wimax,pri,prl,and nv. I had problems with phone being super laggy afterwards so I re-flashed 1.77_003 PRI and phone is now working properly. I currently have the latest Rom Manager and ClockworkMod (3.0.0.2). I want to update my Rom to the latest 3.70 and have the rooted RUU on my SD card however I'm afraid to flash because of the problems I have been hearing with the latest ClockworkMod. I also have the option of just applying the 3.70 OTA...

My thoughts are;

Being that I am Unrevoked forever, can't I just apply the OTA and just re-flash ClockworkMod through Rom Manager?

Or, am I safe just flashing the 3.70 rooted Rom that I have on my SD card from here on xda?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Justin.G11:
Those too lazy to read: if your EVO has the old partition layout, the new cm doesn't work properly at all. This is regardless of hboot version.

Sent from my pants. You figure out how I typed it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] generalExpert:
I've read everything in that thread and still don't fully understand. Everyone has been having mixed issues... I've read that its not compatible with the new hboot and read the same thing about the old. I've also read that hboot doesn't matter as you've mentioned... so what is the real answer? I'm guessing its the partition setup. But, isn't that what the 3.0.0.2 is suppose to fix as oppose to the 3.0.0.0???
[EVO 4G Android Development] lonlawrence:
Apple user? You are very obviously a dedicated wincrap user. It shows in your mentality. I think that post was way off topic (and so is this.. I just couldn't resist. And that's coming from a guy that's had every version of wincrap ever developed and has forgotten more about wincrap than you'll ever learn)
[EVO 4G Android Development] lonlawrence:
I retried it, this time not plugging in my phone until Unrevoked was running, then I turned on debugging... worked fine. Did the same thing to my friend's evo and it worked fine, too. haven't tried any backups yet and won't until I hear clockwork is working perfectly.

Actually, like many other have stated is Zikronix method is very solid.

Bought my Evo on Dec. 23rd. Rooted on Dec. 24th with his method. 3. 70 OTA, 2.10 Hboot, Hardware Rev 004. It isn't a hard way to root your Evo.

It worked on my hardware 004 evo. It is a brand new one that came stock with the newest update. So it should work there is no harm in trying. The only problem I ran into is.

seriously?

Windows, Linux, MAC, or whatever OSe all have their pluses and minuses. They all howeve have one thing in common: a tool to help get work done. If you don't like one, use the other. But no need to diss on any because that's like an insult on the numerous devs who worked hard to bring us these tools.

Me I'm just thankful I have the choices to pick and choose whatever OS worked best for each environment I need to use it in.

I can't seem to get this to work on either of my 10.6 machines (a MacPro1,1 or MacBookPro5,3) - both have odd USB errors, and can't seem to flash a recovery (the included CWM 3.0.0.2 or Amon_RA's 1.8.0). I'm on hboot 2.10 with the old partition scheme. I s-on'd and re-ruu'd before attempting, so the device was in a clean state. The unrevoked-forever seems to have taken, as I'm now s-off again, but I have no recovery, and no superuser. Any troubleshooting I can do, let me know (PM probably the best way):

Thanks Unrevoked team...Rooted my brand new EVO without trouble the first try.

If you want a guide, use unlockr's step by step guide on their website dated 9/20/10 and just use the new app on unrevoked webite instead of the reflash.exe app they link to. Worked for me perfectly.

Thank again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Justin.G11:
You're using the old partition layout which broke with the latest clockwork.

Upside is the fix is simple: if you're using ROM Manager just select "Flash Alternate Recovery", that works with the older partition layout just fine. Warning: the backups are not compatible, so once you do that reboot into recovery and re-backup before you go flashing any new ROMs.

Another unfortunate side: with RA Recovery flashed ROM Manager is basically useless. It wont let you download directly, wont backup, restore ... only thing it will let you do is reboot into recovery. SO you'll need to manually download everything to your EVO SD card (honestly I just use drop-box to sync intended zips and move them to the root folder, but it's not the fastest answer, just flexible).

I hope they fix this problem soon as I actually preferred CM over RA because it was so easy to get updates with and use. Only time will tell I guess.

With the Clockworkmod recovery, when I go to "Wipe", I see a bunch of "No" options and one that says "Wipe Cache". I'm used to using RA where it gives the option for wiping data, dalvik cache, etc. Is this normal in Clockworkmod?

waiting for device?

i was able to resolve my "waiting for device" problem, an application installed on my mac was 'blocking' usb recognition, the application was Easytether, if you installed this app all you need to do is Use kextload/kextunload to unload from memory the EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext kernel extension manually. It is in /System/Library/Extensions/ and you are done... as soon as you unload kext unrevoked will recognize the evo :)
