Evo Root Instructions

[bb2ppc]

Stuck at the command prompt step moving the img file. My computer will not recognize the prompts it keeps saying: "adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" any suggestions?

working in windows XP

Never mind I found my answer just that quick

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



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...

TOO DAMN COMPLICATED! Excuse the language, I feel overwhelmed. I'm also gunna have to hold off on rooting until some good feedback pops up.

Why would you root a phone that came out yesterday? You people r never satisfied!

rooting works but the adb command in windows 7 is adb-windows so anywhere it just syas adb put adb-windows from the directory where you extracted the second file from the xda root. the ota update DOES NOT break the root. And flips rom will do ota updates so updates sent will still work. Connectbot will let you see if you are rooted. get connectbot from the market install. open it up choose local conection. the type su at the $ prompt if the prompt changes to # when you type su you are root.

I went through the root process. How can I verify that the root took?

Nevermind..I just read up

I am successfully rooted running omj's rom for a day and no problems with his rom. camera is crystal clear, no negative side effects what so ever.
