Re: [TUTORIALS] EVO Full Root|OTA Root|Nand Backup/Restore|Flashing|for n00b's + vide

Quote:
10 Connect your phone to your computer. In the evo-recovery files you downloaded, run recovery-windows.bat as administrator (by right clicking and choosing the option)
11 A command prompt will pop up and stream files to your phone. This in turn will enable options on your phone.
12 go to backup/restore using the same navigating you have been.
13 Choose nand backup and then confirm. This backs up your NAND in case you EFF things up. It will be stored in a folder on your SD card as NANDROID. be sure to keep a copy safe somewhere.
14 when its done return to the main system recovery menu and enable "USB-MS" which will mount your SD card. Copy over your Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted.zip courtesy of Flipz to the root of your SD and then untoggle "USB-MS"
15 Now navigate to "Wipe" in the recovery menu
16 navigate to 'Wipe data/factory reset" and confirm the selection
17 navigate to "Davlik-cashe" and wipe that as well
18 return to recovery main menu and choose "flash zip from sdcard"
19 Choose Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted.zip or the rooted rom of your choice and let it install. Choose to reboot your phone. (IF YOU SKIP STEPS 16 AND 17 YOU WILL BE STUCK IN AN INFINITE BOOT AFTER INSTALLING THE ROOTED ROM. This can be remedied by returning to recovery mode (after pulling your batery to stop the loop) and following steps 16 and 17)
20. Superuser access is now available.

THAT just saved my arse,,,, no where in the OP's instructions does it mention to do this for the OTA root.. this NEEDS to be there because the 2 phones i am rooting refused to create the directory as i mentioned above.

PLEASE add this as optional steps if your OTA root attempt fails on the final CHMOD steps where it fails to create file or directory.

thank you to the guy who posted those steps.

i am now fully rooted and going full steam.


seriously though, why are those steps not even mentioned in the OTA Root technique ?

and as far as my ROM comment, this and every other forum is just a huge rats nest of roms which crazy subject titles for stickies and posts.

someone needs to actually make a decent database of roms with user ratings.

i want so bad to go to Froyo but i will be darned if i can tell what rom works and what doesnt and then keep track of what roms actually have working parts compared to others.
