Help... Rooting with Unrevoked 3 & 4. Installed OTA. Stuck @ Triangle

supdawg · #1 (**permalink**) 08-30-2010, 02:37 PM

I was following this instruction set found here: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-...-2-rooted.html and I got stuck on 4D.

To make matters worse, I accidentally accepted the OTA install, and my phone has been stuck on this black screen with a white triangle with a yellow exclamation point and an android guy.

My phone appears to be frozen as it hasnt changed from this screen in 10 minutes. I am afraid to do anything with the phone with fear of bricking it.

Its a red triangle, you need to go to recovery through adb shell. If you had root, it would bypass that screen

Were you previously rooted? To use root explorer you need full NAND access. Maybe you didnt have sufficient permissions?

So I was on 2.1. I ended up pulling the battery and hoping i didn't tear something up. Luckily it booted right back up and no ill effects.

I am rooted with by unrevoked3 and unrevoked 4 ever. I just need to know how to get to stock rooted froyo.

What is the link to roll back to 2.1 from ota 2.2 update? I'm thinking of rolling back and installing unrevoked and can't find the right link. Although I heard sprint will help you to revert back to 2.1 if you complain about 2.2. I might try that first. Hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.
