Evo Root Instructions

[zone23]

instructions are clear as mud i can't get to the recovery part. I type the command in and its just says unknown command. I hope the other instructions are better. Can't get it to boot into recovery..

But none of the root apps like wifi tether worked for me either

I only tried one root app but it worked for me. I tried root explorer and it let me remove bloatware apps.

I had issues during the process too, but it was more of an issue on my laptop.

each time I start Terminal, I have to run this cmd:

export PATH=$PATH:/home/ken/AndroidSDK/tools

I'm trying to figure out what I need to edit so it's permanent. according to http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html I need to edit the .bash_profile, but I'm not having any luck

• On Linux, edit your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc file. Look for a line that sets the PATH environment variable and add the full path to the tools/ directory to it. If you don't see a line setting the path, you can add one:
  • export PATH=${PATH}:<your_sdk_dir>/tools

Also, when trying to enter adb commands, I kept getting an error saying insufficient permissions for device. I google & found out I needed to start-server w/ root (pc) access.

I need to figure out how to make this permanent too.....oh, it's so fun learning linux...

i was able too. i got the OTA update while i was at the shack. came home and ran the .zip file from the sd in the stock boatloader and it automatically searched for an update.zip. then of course it asks you to confirm yada yada...

i used the .zip found on "toasts" thread over on xda for root. what it did was flash back to the stock .1 firmware with root access, from the .6 firmware update the OTA installed.

and flashed the recovery image via adb

the command for the windows bases is adb-windows if you don't type the command in that way it won't work. I got the update but was still able to root. The wifi issue is known there is a work around but it isn't straight forward they are still working on it. I am ROOT MAN on EVO HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHA.
