Re: EVO Full Root & OTA ROOT|Recovery|Nand Backup/Restore|Flashing| for n00b's + Vide
I understand that there are issues with all methods, I'm sure that even this thread isn't filled with 92 pages of only "Works Great!" responses.
The only reason this thread is obsolete is because the other method works perfectly now, and it's easier and somewhat faster. I ran through it in about the time it took to download everything plus 10 minutes. The issues left over have work-arounds, such as "hit the refresh until it works". This current thread was a good tutorial, even if it's by a hot headed author..but doing a search on Google I found several tutorials of similar purpose and I don't know who was first or who was best or who stole what from who-- but I really don't care now that there is an alternative that doesn't need a tutorial. btw- your tutorial mentioned to download apps from GoogleMarket, and that opened a can of worms which led me to seek the alternative methods. There is a bug in this phone which apparently if you don't set up GoogleMarket straight out of the box then setting it up later will always (or maybe just 'sometimes') require a hard reset to get it to connect. When you couple that problem with anything else it becomes difficult to troubleshoot. I don't know why you have a problem with giving alternative solutions, even superior ones, but I suppose you put a lot of work into this and don't want to watch it die. Welcome to technology kid!

Great! Glad that worked. Two options: Type su at the $ and look at your phone, it will be asking you for Superuser permissions. Click Allow.You'll switch to # Or you can flash the zip found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722583 frankenstein @XDA created the files needed for adb to have su permissions by default. |

Do we have a Perfect Post Award on this site? Fast's LAST POST gets it!
Nice job Fast. @Raging IDIOT-you are of course free to speak your mind but you have cojones mas grande to try to insinuate that anything was "stolen". Of course you fail because Fast has give proper credit all over his thread. +1 on you moving on. This is a "Drive By" Thread. Users come to get help and move on. Obviously there are some exceptions who choose to continue to help other users through this process. Please don't say that was what you were trying to do because there's no way to spin "this thread is obsolete" as being helpful. Considering the fact that you have your solution and managed to obtain root then I don't see the point of your trolling. Now you've been asked twice by the OP to stop posting with more respect than you showed him. Last edited by iknowsquat; 07-10-2010 at 07:42 PM. |

Re: EVO Full Root & OTA ROOT|Recovery|Nand Backup/Restore|Flashing| for n00b's + Vide
Finally trying to root and running into a problem. I tried a search but did not see my answer. I humbly apologize in advance if it is here. I am running .6 (very first OTA right after phones were sold) but did not do recent OTA. I "rooted" using unrevoked prior to this attempt. Will that make a difference? I did not wipe before I started the steps in the first post. I did copy the required files and extract the required places, have HTC sync, etc. I can successfully get through step 2G in version 1, 2nd process but I do not get asked a second time (2G) if I want to update. I tried it again from step 2 using the PC and also get hung up there (Step 2H for PC). What to do now??
Also, once I get through this, does anyone have some suggestions for good ROMs to start with? Thanks for the help in advance!! EDIT: Found a video (thanks for the post, winmonewbie) that said to skip the second update. I'm running recovery now. Hopefully it will go well from here.

Now that you are on the Section 2 Verision 2 Using the PC I'm going to focus on that part. 2C-Did you successfully switch the first PC36 file with the second (originally named eng-PC36IMG) by switching the names? What did you name the file? If it scanned for the file but didnt open it then it's not named correctly. Just a guess but a lot of users name it "PC36IMG.zip" BUT their file extensions are hidden by their PC so what they've really named it to is "PC36IMG.zip.zip" Is that it? EDIT: LOL, when did I say that@ skipping Part II? Link the post please If you are running Recovery then you have at least completed Part I or that could be from unrevoked.

I didn't want to tarnish your thread of dispair, but some may think it wise to show the alternative method right at the top rather than in "Private" messages that you've claimed to send. I'll post it here again so you have easy access: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=720565&page=1 |
