I used the unrevoked 1 to root my phone. Then flashed the clock work recovery from rom manager. Would I be able to upload a custom rom now?
Unrevoked 1 is not full root. I recommend do a full root nand by here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=123714 (132.1 top one and 147.651. bottom one) then flash the custom rom
Ok thanks. Just out of curiosity would it be a good idea to flash the rooted stock rom and have that as a back up? Our just go with it?

I rooted using the easy root for the OTA 1.47 and my new build is 1.17. I figured i was rooted. I downloaded Rom manager from the market but it wont let me flash or even download clockwork so i can do a recovery rom so i can flaxh custom roms....... help please NOOOOBIE.
use the simple root ota 1.47 to flash a recovery or use the first part of taostcfh's root method part 2 to flash a recovery
Thanks Man. im so blind! i didnt see the extra tab at the top
no problem
i am running a rooted version of 1.47.651.1 that i got from xda wiki for my Evo. Every time i try installing OTA 2.2 it shows a white triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle. I have tried all 3 versions of the RUU and none of them work. I can only flash rooted roms. I tried flashing the Froyo ROM that was leaked and it didnt work. I dont know what else to do at this point. I have been researching and researching this whole week. I just want my Evo back to stock i dont care which version of if i loose root. I was reading around one of the forums that i should flash a (stock, no) recovery via flash_image or fastboot. But i dont know how to do that. Can some one please help me with a turorial. Or will this even solve my problem? Can some one just help me i am willing to donate.

Replace the current recovery with RA recovery. Option down toward the buttom.

i get the same error with all of them :/
When you say u have used all 3 RUU's, were you using this technique?
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/19278-how-unroot-return-stock.html
Either way I would do a factory reset and then try this method with the 1.47 one....worked perfect for me.
If you really don't care, just update to the newest 2.2 OTA, that will get you to stock with a new HBOOT and you will lose root. There are ways to "unroot" to a 2.1 ROM using RUUs, but they can get complicated. If you have no reason to root in the future, update to 2.2.
Correct me if I'm wrong, everybody.
i have tried updating to 2.2 but it wont update just gets stuck at the recovery with a yellow exclamation point/caution sign
Ok go to the wiki, use the "simplest root method without a gui" that will get you a recovery and setup that WILL allow you to flash the stock rooted 2.2, so you wull be at stock with full 2.2 froyo. Then forget about all the fancy stuff and only flash through amon ra recovery and presto no more problems. leave all the ruu's out of it, once you have root with nand unlocked you can flash pretty much whatever you want. If you flash an unrooted rom of course you will lose root. good luck
As far as i know you can't get the OTA 2.2 over a rooted 2.1...which brings us full circle back to the original question. What I would do if it were me:
#1: Run Simple root 1.47 to get a fresh root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720565
#2: The re-run this unroot method:

Use the 1.47 RUU...if this don't work then uh????

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not with temp root. You must have a perma rooted incredible to load custom roms. You also must have a custom recovery. Just use unrevoke's program to root your phone and it will do everything for you.
Can i take the root off if i use unrevoke's program?
No the unrevoke program only does the following.
1. Gives you root
2. Loads the custom recovery
3. Optional - Turns the security off on the phone. *AKA S-OFF*
All the security is a signature check to make sure that only Verizon/HTC signed roms or updates can be flashed.
The only way to remove root so far on the Incredible is to flash the RUU which restores your phone back to what it was when you took it out of the box.
Also no I do not think it would be wise to remove root from the phone while running a custom rom. Not having root access while on a custom rom would be a nightmare if you need to do anything with Rom manger.
All custom roms are packaged as rooted roms. If you really want an unrooted custom rom then you will need to either get someone to cook one up for you or make it yourself.
S-OFF
The version of UnrEVOked available for the Incredible also does S-OFF.
Users of this root method have no choice; S-OFF is done automatically ~ per the notes on their site.
ok so I was reading and it said that if I use oneclick i wont just have stock rom after I have to flash a new rom of some kind. Is there not a one click or z4 type root like we had before. I only want to root to use the wifi teather and want to keep everything else stock I also dont wanna have to loose my apps or anything. any ideas
Thanks
1 click should leave the rest of the phone alone, just give you root.
CM7 ON MY EPIC!
The one.click will give you superuser access and flash a recovery to your phone. You stay on the stock rom/kernel unless you flash a custom rom/kernel.

ok this is the part that was worrying me
IF YOU ARE ON AN ODEXED ROM (DEFAULT OTA) THEN YOU NEED TO REFLASH A ROM AFTER THE CONVERSION!!!!!!! ODEXED ROMS DO NOT GET RESTORED PROPERLY
that is right out of the one click directions found here:

and I do have the OTA update.
Hello guys,
First of all, I'm not new to rooting or custom ROMS, having said that my question is, what is the best method to root an EVO?
Browsing thru the forums, I found the following methods:
[ROOT] ~~~ HTC EVO - Universal Auto Root ~~~ v2.5 (4/25/11)
To my understanding, this method will flash a custom rom "Sprint Lovers ROM"
and
[Program] SimpleRoot .1 ---- 3 Click Root w/ nand unlock!!
This method recommends flashing a custom rom
Now, I do not want to flash a custom rom since I'm doing this for a friend and I do not want him to be dealing with custom roms, nandroid backups, etc. Is there another method to root an evo? Without having to flash a custom rom.
Thank you
Easiest, fastest, coolest way to root without a custom rom. Might have some issues with permissions if you don't flash a custom rom unless you're just trying to do basic junk like tether. I'd actually recommend flashing a stock rooted custom rom instead of just gaining root on the eng stock rom. Make sure you hit up the market and download busybox if you don't flash a custom rom and update superuser.
Run unrevoked 3 (1st one)
http://unrevoked.com/
Stock rooted rom, or you could just run sprint lovers. It just has few added tweaks but mostly stock.

Most of the Hot Spot App usage will be from a custom rom in order for it to be unlocked. Wireless Tether will usually work as well and all you need is root. There are plenty of stock ruu's out there as well, but is a little more time consuming to run.
If you look down a little on xHaux's post in your first link...you can do a quick version that does not flash Sprint Lovers:
Instructions for Quick method:
This will completely wipe your phone. If you would like to back up your apps you can use Titanium backup to save them. It also has an option to save the system files but this can result in a buggy ROM afterward.
Extract AutoRoot.zip into a folder that is easy to find.
Open a DOS prompt by running the OpenShell file.
Type 'autoroot quick' and press Enter
It will then flash the engineering bootloader and the recovery through fastboot. Once it is finished you can use the bootloader menu to boot into the recovery and make a NANDroid, flash a ROM, radios, etc.
No matter the reason...a nandroid is always a good idea if only to do it once your happy with your decision on what to run.....something WILL happen when he/she finds out what options are out there. A quick restore will get you back to day one.
Also look even a bit farther down in the thread..there are options based on what hboot you have. xHausx's method was such a breeze...just sit back and watch the scripts do the work for you!
Good Luck
Unrevoked. One click and done.
