Re: Rooting and Flashing EVO Instructions for super n00b's on PC's
ok, this is getting frustrating. i followed the instructions shown here: http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-hacks...ur-htc-evo-4g/
and i still cant get windows to detect my device in recovery mode. this is why "recovery-windows.bat" does not work for me. any suggestions? |

ok, i FINALLY figured it out. device manager didnt see the device with i rooted with unrevoked, but it worked when using the toast method from sd card.
FINALLY! time to flash OMJ! |
Re: Rooting and Flashing EVO Instructions for super n00b's on PC's
I was having this problem earlier. I installed the latest version of HTC Sync found here and it seemed to fix the problem. I believe this adds the drivers needed to detect your phone.

How do I know I'm rooted? I have heard conflicting reports on the OTA update unrooting phones and some still work. I have the update and did the root process. Just no way to know.

I'm still learning, like I said I'll running the process momentarily so dunno about any verification steps. You dont even have the icon? I know shortly post root the screen will be blank until a program calls for SU permission. Do you have any programs installed that may need permission? You could try running one like WiFi tethering and see what happens? Just a (very slightly) educated guess? Maybe someone else can chime in. I'll see what I see after I get done..... |

Check Post #1, Fast tells you to follow toasts instructions to root then recovery. You already did the root so just pick up the instructions from there. |

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

I could not, for the life of me, figure out how to root my Evo 4G! But while I was watching your videos, and executing the process of rooting my Evo 4G at the same time, it finally made "SENSE" (tee-hee)! Thanks again! I commented on your videos BTW! |

Re: Rooting and Flashing EVO Instructions for super n00b's on PC's ***Videos Included
Awesome work FastRX8!!! finally i was able to do the recovery part and install a custom rom :)

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? |

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 |

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?
|

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. |
