Re: Rooting and Flashing EVO Instructions for super n00b's on PC's ***Videos Included

1) Take the evo-recovery.zip file and extract the contents to the C: DRIVE.
So you should have a folder on C that says,
C:\evo-recovery
DONE
2) If you haven't done so before, install HTC Sync. If you have the phone connected as a disk drive, one of the folders is called HTC Sync and you can find the file there. Or you can download a newer version from HTC.
DONE
3) Now disconnect and reconnect your phone selecting HTC Sync this time.
DONE
4) On your pc, hit the Windows Key + R to bring up a run window.
DONE
5) Type "cmd" and hit {ENTER} (no quotes)
DONE
6) In the new command window that opened, type the following,
cd\ {ENTER}
cd evo-recovery {ENTER}
Now you'll be at the C:\evo-recovery>
DONE
7) Type "adb-windows reboot recovery" {ENTER} (no quotes)
Your phone will reboot and be in the recovery screen. Looks like a black screen w/ an EVO and an /!\
DONE
8} On your PC, go to My Computer and navigate to the evo-recovery folder. Which should be c:\evo-recovery.
Inside are a series of files. For Windows XP, double-click "recovery-windows.bat." (If you're running Windows Vista or Windows 7, right-click it first and choose "Run as administrator") then double click it. Now wait while it does what it needs to do. When it's finish, you'll be on a screen that says, "Android system recovery" in yellow letters at the very top.
This is where i get error: device not found

can anyone help me?

Just unroot it (going back to stock will unroot it I think) and then do the OTA, and then do the unrevoked root (which works with the OTA update).

Re: Rooting and Flashing EVO Instructions for super n00b's on PC's ***Videos Included

I did not pay attention and wiped the "cache" not the "dalvik-cache" before loading OKJ v1.2. I spent all day yesterday installing and setting everything up like I wanted it. Everything seems fine. Should I re-install everything and go back and wipe everything to include dalvik-cache?

thanks

Applying basic flash rules, if it aint broke, dont fix it . I assume the wipe is to ensure a clean install, sounds like you got lucky. COULD be wrong, keep your eyes open for weirdness.

I got the key chain from an HTC rep at an HTC Party last Thursday. They had some customer appreciation event at a club in Hollywood. Free food and free drinks. Got to check out all the latest phones they have.

BTW - I updated the steps in the 1st post to match what I did in the video.

Just wanted to say Thanks for giving use the correct commands to make this work. I love how some drop the ball and never look back. Thanks. Your post should be stickied and the other should be deleted.

Re: Rooting and Flashing EVO Instructions for super n00b's on PC's ***Videos Included

I'm picking up my EVO today, and here's my honest question. I have nothing against rooting, as I was a ROM addict on WinMo, but is this ROM that everyone uses stable enough for me to root now for it? Or should I just enjoy stock for awhile?

The rom I'm using is great. Truth be told, you only need to root right now if you want to use Wifi tethering or you want to install the newer radio.

Also, if you're concerned about the stability of the custom roms, there is a rooted version of the official rom. No changes made to it but it allows you to install a new radio and use Wifi tethering.
