Thanks!

I was messing around with only a temp root on my shift but decided what the heck why not perma root and flash cm7? So with your app I was able to have my shift rooted and running cm7 goodness in minutes. Great work! :D
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] rrsweet:
alright what am i doing wrong?I downloaded and inastalled the latest dotNET framework. I have tried changing the debugging.. aand yet I still get ADB ERRO, WHEN i TRY TO ROOT. anyone?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] oldpueblo:
I don't know if it was coincidence, but I finally made it past "root failed" by running it in administrator mode (right click the .exe). Win7 64.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] rrsweet:
Sweet that was Slick andeasy. Had a bad USB cord,switched it out for another, and I was rooted in all of about 5 minutes. LOVE IT!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Phreaker47:
For some reason I just can't get ShiftRR to recognize the phone is connected. I installed HTCSync for the drivers. I have USB debugging enabled on the phone. I connect the phone and choose USB mass, but ShiftRR never reports "device connected", and I can't do anything.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bobtsunam:
Just leave it in charge mode. Same as when you are using adb shell or any adb tools. Works the same way just does it all for you instead of doing it step by step.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Phreaker47:
Oh god is that all it is? I just needed to pick charge mode? Hah... well I'm a noob at rooting HTC phones, I've only rooted my Droid 1 before and that phone doesn't ask you to choose a mode (actually it was all started by using the unlocked bootloader so it was easier in that respect). I'll have to try again when I get the chance (it's a friend's phone.) Thanks.

Anyway to undo app/file deletion?

First and foremost I think that this root thing is awesome. Since I was primarily trying to get rid of these pesky apps that the provider downloaded to my phone I think that this way of rooting was simply amazing.

I followed the instructions from your youtube video and I thought that you had me do a backup for my phone but seeing as to how I have to idea how to restore it (even though I clicked on the restore tab with the proper file) I was wondering if you might be able to walk me through how to undo an action that I did.

I was attempting to delete the many versions of calender on my phone without knowing that they were neccessary for any downloaded calendar apps to work, therefore I'm stuck without a calendar and I tend to use it for everything from school, to work, to my personal life. If you could help to assist me in this I would appreciate it or if you could refer me to the proper place I would also appreciate that as well.

My phone is (obviously) the HTC Shift from Sprint.

Thanks again.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bobtsunam:
I would guess that an easy way to get yer calendar back would be flashing a stock rom. You can back up your entire setup with titanium backup before hand so you don't have to re-personalize. Unless someone has the apk for the stock calendar....

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Chill86:
Visionary didn't work on my phone either. It's not that it would give me an error code, per se, but anytime that I attempted to temproot the phone it would automatically reboot my phone, and despite the fact that I had the box checked for the phone to automatically root upon boot it would never root. Also whenever I would go into the Visionary app to attempt to root it that way, it would say that it was rooting but the screen would flash several times in a row before finally going back to the Visionary menu. So I have no clue as to why it wasn't working for me on my phone but that's just the problem that I was having until I permarooted my phone using this method here.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] HobbesIsReal:
GREAT JOB! Thank you for all of your hard work in making it so easy to root my EVO Shift! For whatever reason, I had to go through the process 3 times to finally stick. It was extremely easy and it did root my phone very painlessly.

A quick question... I know my phone is rooted. Your program recognizes it. I now can create a hot spot, enabled the ability to move just about every program to my SD card, etc... But there are certain programs that don't recognize my phone is rooted. For example:

Root Explorer

SD Speed Increase

SD Booster

Root Check

I have checked SuperUser to make sure they have permission, but none of these programs are ever listed.

Is it that maybe I missed something while rooting my phone, these programs don't know how to recognized that my phone is rooted, or is there another way to give them SuperUser access?

Again, thanks, its people like you that make this forum so great!

but it is in htc sync, read through entire thread couldnt solution
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
I have the apk's your looking for. I'm not home but ill post them when I get home. Do you know off hand what apk or apk's you deleted. Don't sweat it either... I've had my shift bootloop on me for about a whole day and had to ruu the s.o.b. just to get it to work... if you don't know the nake of apk/apks you need, please post what calender apks are still present.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] HobbesIsReal:
Two tips that helped me and others:

1) make sure the drivers are installed on your computer for the phone

2) when you connect your phone to your computer, simply select charging only.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] halo9909:
How do I know if the correct drivers are installed?

I just did a clean install of win7, and decided to do backup wimaxx and think it froze there

Error running ADB try again.

Any ideas what I need to do?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] wrxtc714:
Most likely wrong recovery

You need to do a flash image of clockwork2.5

or install cm7 and boot into it and then downgrade the recovery from rom manager

The roms you are trying most likely arent upgraded to the new recovery image.

Gingerbread update

Hi,

I rooted my shift almost right away when you released your program. Great tool!

Now that sprint has released the gingerbread update do you know if this will work to root gingerbread, or maybe do you think you will be working on updating your program to root the new update?

Thanks
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
I'm not saying you are wrong, but roms for our phone are edify script... cwm 2.5 is for amend script. You need the newest cwm recovery it's in one of the threads. sorry I can't link because my wife is yelling at me to put the kids to bed... lol

Edit: page 11 on the rockmod cm7 thread. Its not the newest cwm recovery but it should work... sorry I can't link through tapatalk...

ShiftRR snd Sprint's latest update....

I too have had an issue attempting to re-root since the Sprint upgrade. Any suggestions are welcome...This IS a great tool. Thanks!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
S.O.L. until the devs can get root... we should all know by now that accepting ota updates will lose your root privleges, its posted in almost every thread... matter of fact if you wouldn't have done the ota and been patient you could have just flashed the stock update with root like any rom...
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] blackshark:
Got it....Lesson learned...Thanks....
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] twist:
Does this support the new 2.3.3 that was released ?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] Zhenya13:
Yep, that's obvious, and that's why I'm asking if the tool will work. Of course I did not run the OTA. As a matter of fact I did precisely what you're saying: install the stock update with root from another thread.

Still hope that soon the tool will be able to root the phone.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drewbuchman:

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] dfin13:
You can't, you just have to wait for someone to post a new way to root. I tried everything under the sun, and no luck, so I'm selling the Shift I bought last week (guy updated it before he sold it to me, grrr!). Maybe I can find one that hasn't been updated, I was looking forward to giving it a tryout.

may need assistance

made it to root success twice now (been attempting this off n on for hours now). At 2:44 in the video. Then i clicked check root and it says phone is rooted. Time to reboot. 3:55 time to check root after rebooting. Says "this time to accept the SU request". So i click check root.

Says phone is rooted accept su request but how do i accept it no pop up window on the pc or a request on the phone? After a few seconds it says root failed. same as last time i made it this far!

Without rebooting i clicked root again and again it says success. 4:05 in the video. Read someplace else to open the app drawer and see if superuser is there, it is. v2.3.6.1

Backed up wimax and ran recovery, It rebooted the phone and i'm at clockwork recovery 2.5.1.8 screen stuck there but reboot system now is highlighted. thought it would do it automatically. hmmm. waiting!

suppose someone rooted using this method and the following day did this while deleting programs using titanium backup free versiom which doesn't allow backups :(

error

com.htc.bgp stopped unexpectedly

So i can't use my browser

My bookmarks for the net went away

Can't get on the net at all.

I CAN listen to shoutcast streaming, and my internet connection is good.

**I deleted some programs i think the last group may of caused it.

teeter, footprints,friend stream, peep, quick office, facebook, htc facebook and twitter.

maybe i can recover using the recovery file i saved to my desktop while rooting yesterday if it comes to that?

i noticed it's a windows burn image whatever that is. if i did have to try that would it unroot me or recover rooted?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] trsix:
recovery

learning

well i flashed the recovery didn't help.

i wonder if theres some kind of recovery image out there that comes with the stock apps. that would fix the problem. i think!
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
If you are rooted go to the rock mod thread in development and find the latest clockwork mod recovery, its posted... Download that recovery and a rom and kernel of your choice from the development section and place in folder of your choice on your sdcard. Boot into recovery, select "install zip from sdcard" scroll to the file you put the recovery zip in and flash the new cwm recovery zip. than select "reboot to recovery" in the "advanced" option listed in the main menu of recovery. New recovery will be orangish/reddish... flash rom next, than flash kernel. No reboot needed inbetween rom and kernel. Always follow the instructions listed by dev in op of rom thread... Good luck
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] trsix:
I am rooted and have the shift_clockwork recovery that came with [Win32 Tool]GUI Root with Check and Recovery!* Wondering if i can just keep it and get a rom and kernel. Also wondering is it the recovery, rom or kernel that has the files to fix my current no net/gps problem?
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] drob311:
If your recovery has green letters, it needs to be updated... The scripts are different for the green lettered recovery and majority of the new roms and kernels wont flash... Ill get a link up in a minute... Here you go flash in recovery.

Keep on trying. It takes several tries sometimes. Did you install advanced/ your phones driver to your PC?

Evo SHIFT
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] bobtsunam:
One thing you can to to make sure your device is ready for adb commands is open up a command prompt in windows, navigate to your sdk directory and then to platform-tools. Once there type "adb devices". If your device is connected it will show it on the list. If it shows up then you should be good to go. Alot of people put their phone in mass storage mode when they should be leaving it in charge only mode.

[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tim-tim:
I've got an interesting one happening.

According to check root - phone is rooted.

When you power off the phone, it doesn't stay off for long and boots to recovery.

Radio and WiMax updated to highest available version.

Formatted SD to Fat32 for proper update.

Will flash roms that apparently load and update correctly,

Phone always freezes.

Just pushed recovery file again and have checked all MD5 sums along the way.

Don't want to unroot to 2.3 since there is no root get back.

Any thoughts?!?

GG on the prog. apparently worked like a charm
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] stormchaser404:
Root Check lies sometimes. It tried to use SRR to root my phone when i had 2.2 on it, it would tell me my 2.2 Shift was rooted when it clearly wasn't...no programs that required root would work and SU wouldn't pop up and ask permissions when those programs were turned on. Free Wifi Tether would even error out saying phone wasn't rooted. Then I did the manual root rather than using Root Check and Recovery and it all worked fine.
[EVO Shift 4G Android Development] tim-tim:
But heres the kicker, recovery is installed. and it allows SU permissions on objects, and my bootloader shows S-OFF

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tt0204:
I have bought a SGS in HK which firmware is ZSJPE.

I have accidentally perm-rooted with VISIONary+ when I planned to temp-root it.(Yes, accidentally)

It rebooted and seems to be worked, but then on next boot, it stucked at Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen.

It can boot into recovery mode and download mode, and so far I have tried the following:

1) Factory reset

2) Flashing speed mod <-stupid attempt in this situation

3) Flashing a custom rom <-stupid attempt in this situation again

4) Flashing a stock rom found on this forum

5) Accidentally(yes, again) flashed a Vibrant rom which once booted in to the stock home found from somewhere else

5) Wiping the internal SD (where I stored my titanium backup:( )

All of them succeed, but none of them worked (with my issue).

Now when I boot I can go until the "colorful S" screen, and vibrates like when sth force closes.

Please help me with this and I am happy if I get a usable stock rom back.

p.s. I am from HK so sorry for poor English

Edit:when I boot into recovery, the following appears:

update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:

your storage not prepared yet. please use UI me

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tt0204:
Finally fixed.

I flashed a XMJV1 rom with odin all 3 options checked(i.e. Re-partition, Reboot, F.reset time)

I guess why I am stuck at the "colorful S" is because I checked Re-partition with a rom that didn't give you the cache.rfs, dbdata.rfs, etc.(without phone and csc file).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tt0204:
Now I have another problem with my i9000.

I can now only use the XMJV1 rom but will stuck on boot ("colorful S" screen) with ZSJPE and JPG roms.

What are the possible causes and way to fix?
