So I was trying to root my evo so I could try the fresh rom (please note that this was my first ever root attempt and my phone had the OTA update). I followed the instructions from this guide:
Latest OTA rooted! - Page 2 - Android Central Forums
This is where my problem is:
11. Once back at the Home screen type:
Code:
adb shell
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
When I enter the "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image" code I get:
"cannot create /data/flash_image: permission denied"
After some googling I found other people typed "su" prior to typing in the "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image" command. That didn't work for me. I received "su: permission denied" after entering su.
Would going back and starting this tutorial all over cause serious damage? I'm wondering if maybe I messed up earlier.
I'm very worried I really screwed something up. Can anybody please offer up some advice for a newbie?
Weigh the stakes
Man, just try the "SimpleRoot 1.47 OTA update" app for Windows. You save time, money and a lot of feces on your tract by the worries that everything is ok.
Now, I want to remind the stakes. If you haven't looked at my post here at Q&A, I pretty much effed up my phone while being rooted. I don't know if it was too much exposure to heat caused by WiFi Tether, or of mysterious powers regarding the RSA 256 bit encryption update process screwed my phone up. So before trying to crack your phone, please, review the stakes and stay stock.
BTW, you haven't completed the root process, so a simple Factory Reset should do the trick to go back into Stock without any trace of root procedure. That is, if you want to play it safe.
Okay, first things first. Just so I'm clear.
1. Which guide(exactly) did you follow?
2. What software version do you have now?
Yeah i was having problems with my administrator password so I switched from simple root to this method. Maybe I was using the wrong version or something, could you post a link to simple root for ota?

For the 1.47 you need to use this version of simple root(if you haven't already) - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720565
I'm not sure why it would have problems with the password. Only thing I can think of would be something along the lines of not having administrator privileges.
EDIT: Make sure to have all the requirements and if you successfully run that let me know so we can proceed to the next step(it is really simple).
I did the simple root for 1.47 and it was a success! Although I did not understand what the flash recovery did. I tried the clockwork recovery and it took me to a screen with a bunch of options, but I didn't know what to do so I just rebooted. What's next? I want to try the newest version of the fresh rom.
TO try fresh first download it and place the zip file on your computer, boot into recovery, (power phone off then hold down volume and power untill you get to the white screen) select flash zip fron sd card then select the fresh rom and flas, presto fresh should flash, the recovery is a seperate area which is used to flash a rom, as you cant flash a rom from within a rom.
So do I use the clockwork recovery to flash the fresh rom? I was looking at the guide to flash the new fresh rom and it says that I need to have nand unlocked. How do I do that?
if you did simpleroot nand should be unlocked, and yes clockwork recovery is used to flash the fresh rom. clockwork recovery is what you are in when you boot with the down volume and power button held down. If it doesnt work you may want to try amon ra recovery, find the toast root method and do the last step:
- on your PC open a shell again and do:
Code:
adb shell
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
- you should now be in recovery mode
- do a wipe of data and dalvik cache
- navigate to nandroid restore and restore the previous rom setup
- come here to the forum, get and flash the latest radio
- enjoy... you can now reboot into recovery, write to system and other partitions while in Android. Also you now have a Engineering SPL so you can fastboot and much more.
It also wont hurt to do the whole part two of toasts guide if you dont think your nand is unlocked. FYI Nand unlocking allows both a read write option in the recovery which is needed to write the custom roms.

Your nand is unlocked. Just download Fresh, boot into recovery, wipe caches, and apply Fresh via zip file.

Ignore this post, unless you want to flash Fresh with Amon Ra Recovery instead of Clockwork Recovery (what you have now)
Agreed, I was only posting that "if" he had problems using clockwork sorry for the confusion.

So I decided I was going to use Amon Ra's recovery because flipz recommended it. That was going well until "- navigate to nandroid restore and restore the previous rom setup". I selected nandroid restore and it said something like /sdcard/nandroid not found. Aster that I just rebooted , which took a while and had me pretty nervous. It eventually booted up though. This stuff is a lot more confusing than windows mobile was haha. I'm wondering if nandroid was indeed unlocked with simple root. I'm still willing to press forward if the help is still available. By the way, what and how can I make a nandroid backup?
Turn phone off, turn phone on holding down volume and power, when you get to white screen select recovery then scroll through your options, i believe it it backup/restore then creat nandroid backup, FYI you cant restore a nandroid backup if you haven't created one, IE the not found error you got before.
Ok so how exactly would I go about flashing(if that's even the right word) fresh rom from what I already have?
I'm not sure what you actually have, can you get to recovery, then the option to 'flash zip from sd card? if you have that option just place the fresh rom on the root of your sd card (put the zip file there and don't open the zip) then reboot to recovery, ie vilume down and power button when you get to white screen volume down to recovery, then flash zip from sd then select the fresh rom zip, then hit power button to select, hit power button again to confirm and away you go.
Ok that sounds simple enough. I can't thank you guys enough for all your help. What does a nandroid backup do?
it makes a copy of your rom basically, so say you put on fresh do a nandroid backup then flas CM6, you decide you dont like CM6, so you nandroid restore of your fresh and presto right back to where you were before you flashed CM6, also useful if you have screwed something up ... you can go back ... make sense?

Any one know if this is possible I would like to use Amon Ra's as it allows you to partition the sd card. I can't figure out how to do this without using Amon Ra's
This is the Hero forums, we don't a Cyanogen recovery. I would recommend you consult the Dream or Sapphire boards. But to answer your question it should be as easy as:
Code:
adb push <the recovery you want to use>.img /sdcard
adb reboot
The phone will restart. After it finishes restarting you type the following commands:
Code:
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/
flash_image recovery <the recovery you want to use>.img
reboot recovery
And you will be in the new recovery.
Also using modaco 3.1 (which is excellent) just cant figure out the aps2sd part
I am using the htc hero maybe I got mistaken but when I boot in recovery mode

You can make it.
Just replace the kernel in the img and it should work just fine.
Of course Cyanogen works on Hero.
It was used in plenty of tutorials on how to root your phone.
I ended up with it as well.
I might want to change to Amon however... I don't have a need for the moment.
Hmmm I used a tutorial as well must of been an old one.

In the RA-hero-v1.5.2 topic it has a section: Install ...via adb -> Requires a custom recovery (with test-keys) like Cyanogen's v1.4 or my previous recovery
thats at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561124
You can use the flashrec as well.. theres a guide here forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622228&highlight=Root
you only need to do steps 1-6 on the second method.
im in the same boat as you i still have the cyanogen recovery im going to use flashrec tomorrow tho.. to tired just now lol
hope this helps you

you have to use OTA simple root, you can't use the regular simpleroot and most likely you nand wasn't unlocked that's why you have the bootloop.

What HBOOT version do you have? When you statr phone with volume down and power, white screen you come to at the top should be the version.
The HBoot is 0.79.0000
erase all the new files from your sd csrd....like pc36 and the flast image and image1-3...then start over using simpleroot 1.47
Thanks but I cannot boot the phone at all. I was able to format the card to fat32, boot the phone to recovery, start the ota simple root, on pc run Windows-recovery, start a adb shell and push the pc36img from simple root to it... but when I reboot from there, I get the "no image or wrong image". Then it will say loading... pc36img.zip for about 30 seconds, then says checking pc36img.zip for another 30 and go to the menu with "fastboot, recovery, clear storage etc..."
I can select "recovery" and see any Rom or zip file and load it; but it will still boot to a loop.
Thanks again.
Have you tried toasts part 2 in its entirity? You dont have the engineering hboot. Look for whiteslacks starting over it will tell you to do toasts part 2 first then run the whiteslack method you are going to have to get engineering hboot to do much of anything.

I will try it out and let you know. Thank you very much.
i tried the toast 2, but can't seem to get past the mtd-eng.img part.'
here's what i get. First i Hold down the vol button and press power. once the phone starts, i scroll down to recovery and press power. in recovery it says "ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1" at the top and bottom of the screen. Now i open a command prompt on my computer and type in, "recovery-windows" the phone then goes into the android system recovery, and at the bottom says "Build : not set". From here i can open shell on the computer by typing "adb shell", but when i type in the first line "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image" it returns "cat: can't open '/sdcard/flash_image': No such file or directory" but i can ls while in a shell and see the file in the data directory and i can cd to any directory. the flash_image file is in the data director, and i can change the permissions with 755, but cannot get past that part.
OK... I don't really know how, but i was able to finally get it to see the PC36img.zip files. i pushed the flash_image to the /data directory, wiped everything and rebooted with the new PC36IMG file on the root. it asked if i wanted to update, and the rest is history...
Thank you for all your help.
I never used simple root and i dont recommend by other suggestionfor many issue during the process. Always i use this way and work perfectly easy and useful step by step , then last step flash custom rom

132.651.1/6 Top Instructions
147.651.1 Bottom Intructions
Ok...so still have a lingering issue from my root and unlock. I cannot boot into recovery. At all. I just hang at that red triangle of going no where.
Now...the work around has been to just use the USB cable and run Toast's .bat file. That gets me past this screen and into the one with the little version of the red triangle of going no where and then populates that green menu.
From there I can do the zip files and data wipes and stuff.
BUT....I shouldn't have to do that right?
I should just be booting to recovery from that hboot screen.
Where I am right now...
- Rooted per the unrevoked application
- Nand unlocked per the steps at unlocker.com
- Flashed rooted Stock 1.47
- Titanium backup and got all I had.
Now...I did clean up the sd card...so I deleted the pc36img file and that mtd-eng file from the card's root. From what I can tell those commands that I ran move them over into data folders.
BUT...I still do not get to recovery
What did I miss???
Oh..and I ended up with Clockwork...although I had wanted amon-ra...not sure how to switch now.
Copied from toasts part 2, this will flash a slightly modified amon ra recovery for you. the recovery.img is in the popular thread section under toast part 2
once booted into Android put the recovery.img linked above on the root of you sdcard
- on your PC open a shell again and do:
Code:
adb shell
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery- you should now be in recovery mode
FYI, I think if you press the up volume and power button while in the triangle screen you may be able to get into recovery ... I had a recovery on my phone a while back that required that.
- do a wipe of data and dalvik cache
- navigate to nandroid restore and restore the previous rom setup
- come here to the forum, get and flash the latest radio
- enjoy... you can now reboot into recovery, write to system and other partitions while in Android. Also you now have a Engineering SPL so you can fastboot and much more.
Thanks for your time and response ifly4vamerica.
I had a typo. Damn it. I hate that. The instructions said recovery2.img but it downloaded as recovery.img. I was looking at the exact same thing and comparing Toast's to the one I used. Noticed that the 2 was only difference...(i should facepalm myself again).
Anyway, yes will be using the amon-ra one from toasts in a bit.
** I AM NOT LIABLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE OR ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY YOUR STUPIDITY**
This guide will follow the steps needed to remove permanent root and bring your device back to 100% stock
Here are the following files we will need to download please grab the files needed below and place them on the root of your sdcard
1-a) Stock PRE-OTA Rom rooted:
Stock PRE-OTA Rom
or
1-b) Download the attached HexEditor on the thread
2.) Stock Factory Bootloader / Recovery / ROM / Kernel:
Stock Factory Bootloader / Recovery / ROM / Kernel
(rename this to PC10IMG.ZIP)
3.) T-Mobile OTA Update - Build # 1.22.531.8:
T-Mobile OTA Update
(rename this to update.zip)
Procedure:
Step 1.) Flash Stock Rooted PRE-OTA Rom via ClockWorkMod
Open up RomManger via the Android Launcher and select "Install ROM from SD Card" and select the "stock_root.zip" on the root of the sdcard and select the option to "Wipe Data and Cache" and hit ok. Once rom is flashed it will reboot automatically and bring you back to the os.
**IMPORTANT**
If the flash has failed you must reboot back into the OS and use HexEditor which i have attached to the thread. DO NOT PROCEED UNTIL YOU HAVE DONE THIS!!
Open up an ADB Shell and run the following command:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/misc.img
this will then export the misc.img file we need to edit to the root of the sdcard.
Mount your sdcard and save the misc.img file to your PC and Open the file with HexEditor.
You should now see the version number on the right hand side of the application and it should read "1.22.531.8" YOU MUST CHANGE THIS TO "1.19.531.1" you can now save the file as miscnew.img and place it on the root of your sdcard and then unmount the sdcard from windows.
Now go back to your ADB Shell and run the following command
dd if=/sdcard/miscnew.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
you can now make sure you have copied the PC10IMG.zip file to the root of your SDCARD and power off your phone and proceed to step 2.
*All Credit goes to Apache14 for this method which is in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831398
Step 2.) Restore factory BOOTLOADER, RECOVERY, KERNEL, ROM (THIS RE-ENABLES S-ON)
Place the factory firmware you downloaded in step 2 above on the root of your sdcard and rename it to PC10IMG.zip one you have done this power off the device and power back on by holding volume down and power. Once in the bootloader it will then scan your sdcard and find the file needed, be patient this can take quite a few minutes. After it finishes scanning you will then have to hit the Volume up key on the side of the phone to restore the software. This will take approximately 5-10 minutes. The phone will reboot in the middle of the update to restore S-ON once rebooted it will then scan sdcard again and resume flashing. Once completed you will have to hit Power to reboot and boot back into the factory restored android os.
Step 3.) -OPTIONAL- Apply OTA Update from T-Mobile
Boot back into android and mount your sdcard once again. You will now delete the PC10IMG.zip file we copied previously. Once you have deleted the file copy the file we downloaded in step 3 above to the root of the sdcard and rename it to “update.zip”. You can now power down your device and power back on holding volume down and power. Once in the bootloader wait 5-10 for it to finish scanning your sdcard and hit volume down and power to select RECOVERY. Once in recovery mode you must now hold volume up and power on your G2. You will now hit volume down and power to select "apply sdcard:update.zip" It will then scan your sdcard verify the update.zip file we placed on the root of the sdcard and proceed to install. You will then have to hit power once more to reboot when indicated on the device. This will now take approximately another 5 minutes and the phone will reboot 2 times automatically do not touch until you are booted automatically back into android.
You are now 100% Back to stock with S-ON, Factory ROM, and Factory Recovery.
Thank you for posting this.
PLS STICKY! and wiki

Finally, an undo method for permaroot.
Just one question: will this wipe my apps and content? I suspect it will; I just want to confirm it.
Yes. It will wipe. Make a back up of your data and restore it after. This can be done via titanium backup

im just getting a replacement phone from t-mobile cause of the hinge
Long story short im a newb, im sorry for creating a new thread but ive exhausted my efforts looking for a solution to the problem im having. When the problem occured i had restored my original cwm backup that i created when first rooting my phone. I then did a factory wipe and reinstalled cwm and flashed my recovery. I went to install cm9 4-4-12 and i got a pop up that firmware update was available i clicked update system now and got sent to cwm recovery. Every time since then i cannot reboot into the android os, pulling battery. It doesnt matter what i do, ive tried to use a flash recovery zip i found in another thread to exit boot loop. Ive also tried restoring my original back ups and my recent back ups. I have the android sdk installed but having trouble getting adb to work not sure if i should go about trying to fix the recovery or trying to restore phone to its original state either way i think i need to get adb working before i can do either one. Any help is appreciated and im sorry if im wasting your time.
Did you try wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, factory reset before flashing CM9?
Yes. The order i took was Wipe data/factory reset> Wipe cache partition> wipe dalvic cache> installed cm9 zip> installed gaps zip. still nothing got adb to work not doing much with it i know it has root access and when i got the state of the device it came up as unknown although im pretty sure im in recovery mode.
ok a few question and maybe a step by step to help you since i had a same promblem with a bad flash of CM9
1A. Can you boot into Recovery ? if not i can help you reflash your phone with the Kdz files took me forever to get it to work but i finilly found all the files needed.
1B. if it does boot into recovery run adb devices ... does it show the phone in recovery mode ? in the list.
If so then you can Download the following 6 files Dropbox Down link its not mine but was posted in another Nitro Recovery topic i will give credits once i re go threw the topic to see the poster
- recovery.img
- system.img
- baseband.img
- boot.img
- firmware.img
- pushall.bat
in your CWM recovery go to mounts or it may be under advanced and turn on usb mass storage and as long as all of those files are in your adb folder you can run the pushall.bat and it will place them on your sdcard.
After that turn off usb mass storage and run adb devices again to make sure you phone is still showing up. If so run these commands
Adb shell
****** notice the SU command isnt used here**** cant get super user in recovery but it will still let you run the commands and i can confirm it does work
dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
dd if=/sdcard/firmware.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27
dd if=/sdcard/baseband.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14
You won't be able to issue a reboot command, so just hold power down on your phone til it's off and hold the volume down button so that it comes back up in factory data reset mode. You will want to pull your sdcard at this time if you don't want your data erased.
Hit power twice and your phone should go through its reset process and (hopefully!) come back up in a working (and rooted) AT&T "stock" rom
if not then try to follow this for the CM9 Adb Drivers Wiki for CM adb drivers i know its a little work but it dose the trick then go back up to the previous step and try that to get to stock rooted
i dont think i left anything out but i can help with anything else i know if that doesnt get you back up and running.

dd: can't open sdcard\boot.img : no such file or directory
i was asking about when you pushed the boot.img to teh sdcard... if yyou want i can look at it threw teamviewer total up to you ... if you deside that pm me then info for it
Just take the SD card out and into your computer (assuming you have a card reader) and copy the files to it manually.

im going to assume that he is booting into CWM its thats the case with teh usb cable hooked to the computer he can turn on mass storage from the CWM and just tranfer it that way .. if he doesnt have a reader .. i just dont see why its not copying the boot image
I'm sorry. The files are on the sdcard. When it comes time for the dd command, i get that error which i recently posted.
If you're in CWM you have to ensure your sdcard is mounted. I have got caught up on this step as well lol
Thank you to all that helped! XDA is awesome! Everything is back to normal. It also helps to have the right / or \ lol
