The computer is not seeing the evo. Make sure you are connected on charge only and usb debugging is on. Also make sure you have net 4. 0 from windows installed, htc sync installed for the drivers, and i always have andoid sdk installed on my puter 2.

Lol, this is on my laptop that I just rooted my phone with three days ago, any more guesses? What's the last thing you said ,do ?

Did u get it done? What simple root are you using? I still use the 4 step for 1. 47. Always works for me so if it aint broke dont fix it.

No I haven't got it rooted, I'm down to using adb shell, four step and new two step doesn't work, I plugged my rooted evo in and it went, its something with his phone, he still using evo with only one ota, I can't figure it out, I thought about doing factory reset. Then try again .

I guess my friend talked to sprint in best buy and they told him that an app could have been messing it up that he should wipe before truong again, so I'll keep you U.T.D.

I was wondering if i hardreset my phoone, will the 1.47....update go away? I want it to ho away to use untevoked agaim..
No. I don't believe it will. A hard reset will only wipe the data on the phone and the setting will go back to stock.

If you up dated you stuck but your version can be fully rooted as of a couple of days ago look under android development in the evo section

Yea man, but im a noob and thats really complicated
Thx 4 the responces
lol
you know there is a program called simpleroot, and I am pretty sure its like 4 clicks and your rooted. I also think there are videos and other tutorials. Check out, even if just for fun
After doing hours upon hours of research yesterday, I have come to the conclusion that if you have a White Evo, it cannot be rooted yet. I have a black one - hardware version 003 and it rooted just fine using Unrevoked.
My wife, however, decided to get the white Evo - which is also hardware version 003. I ran the same steps for her except Unrevoked came up with the "[Internal Error: Can't find Misc]"
The reason I come up with blaming it on white Evo's is because I saw threads by other people around the internet who couldn't root their white Evo's either.
Is anybody working on this? Although I am a tech geek, I am nowhere nearly as geeky as you all that make the hacks, roms, and cracks.
Unrevoked is not the only method of rooting.
I have a white evo and its rooted on hardware 0003......I used unrevoked with no problem....

I didn't find any other ways up to date yet... plus, last I heard, new Evo's can't be rooted yet.

hmmm, wonder where this should be posted
is it h-boot 2.02?
Hmm this is a question but also a development question. Hmm maybe I should double post this in the Q and A forum as well!

Driver
Is you driver working correctly?
I just got an EVO today (white one) with HBoot 2.02 and had to read the "Like a Boss" Guide to root it but had 0 trouble. Running Myn's Warm 2.2 and everything works perfectly.
Yes the drivers work. I used the same configuration to root my black Evo.

I will find that and do some reading. Thanks for the heads up!

There really should not be a difference other than color as you stated your wife's "white evo" is using the same hardware as your black evo "0003" so you should be able to root it the sameway. Now the second time I had to root my black Evo #0003 it took doing the operation 3 times before the root was successful.

Just got my new Incredible set up, and plugged it into my Windows 7 x64 PC to run unrEVOked. The standard drivers installed properly, but when I turned on debugging, it says ADB isn't installed.
How do I install it?
It's the standard SDK from google, right?

The incredible is a great phone. I put mine down for a few days cuz I was taking my honeymoon and needed the extra battery life my Droid x gives me. Going back home today. Back to the trusty ole incredible.

I noticed in the latest SDK that ADB is not in it, so I manually added the files from the previous version. Weird.

Just need some questions answered/ suggestions.
I have ubuntu 10.04 on my HP Pavillion DV6z, and it works.. but is very crippled. It took me to hell and back to get my screen to work.. even though it won't detect my monitor but displays and I get random graphical glitches. My internet won't work through a cable anymore... and is supper slow and unreliable. I had to frakenstien my wifi drivers to make wifi even partially work. I have the windows wireless drivers for linux installed, as well as some other official drivers for my RTL8189ce wifi card that I installed via terminal. My wifi drops and reconnects quite often even though my router is RIGHT next to me. My battery lasts at the most 3 and a half hours... its a high capacity 6-cell li-ion battery. It lasts 7 hours or so on Windows and windows is a battery hog... and uses 30% of my 6gb's of RAM... Ubuntu uses 7%.
Okay now to the suggestions/questions... will newer builds help? I tried 11.10 and it wouldn't get my screen to turn on but found out about using "nomodeset" at the bootscreen and it should work... then permanetly adding that to the boot kernel. Not certain but may work. Is there a flavor of linux that is very similar to windows... or to better put universally compatible with more windows pc's? I was going to try deving and learning code but don't even think its worth it with such a crippled laptop ='[. PLEASE help me... I'm tired of being stuck with windows... love me some linux.
Not to offend/discourage anyone from helping but googling and pasting me some links isn't going to cut it trust me I've spent days on trying to fix this... and it is what it is now because of that.
So I need some real pros or someone who's been through this type of ordeal... even tho I hear most don't even get such issues.
Specs:
AMD A8 3550-mx with Radeon HD 6220g [discrete class graphics]
6gbs of RAM
Windows 7 64 and ubuntu 10.04 64bit
560gb HDD 5400rpm.
It gets the job done...

Try LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition). It fixed aprosamurai's issues. After you install it and boot up, open terminal and run this
Sudo apt-get update
Sudo apt-get upgrade
And then reboot
Ubuntu is super picky about drivers and mint debian edition 'just works'. In my opinion, Ubuntu is on a downfall as an OS for developers and has become an OS geared toward kids who want a super simple UI for just using the internet. It doesn't even natively support a full root user and the UI is incredibly hard to multitask on.
Aprosamurai had a similar graphics card (ATI built in). I have an ATI dedicated.
You shouldn't have to run any other mods after installing LMDE and doing what I said.
Ubuntu is touchwiz, LMDE is AOSP
I wouldn't call myself fluent in Linux but I am familiar and do use it on occassion (my laptop is triple booted). Have you tried the Ubuntu forums? I have had some luck with them but in general I don't think their forums users are very helpful and often ass holes. I would also try linuxquestions.org if you insist on using Ubuntu. I find them much friendlier. I also echo the above. I haven't used mint yet but only read good things about it. As soon as I am done with these last few weeks of school I am going to be replacement Ubuntu with mint.
Awesome =]. So I can just burn an iso and install it over my current partition right? I can't put it on another parititon I have to many apparently... windows, recovery, and ubuntu. Even had to delete my "hptools" partition which was used for "bios upgrading" but just recently got an update from HP and my bios updated just as it should.... hp fail.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
I would reformat the partition but when you boot up into the live cd I am sure it will give you the option to do so. Running the live cd first to make sure everything is working properly is always a good idea. If it isn't then you would want to hit up their forums and see if what is not working in your case is just a missing driver from the live cd and it would start working when you install it and update the OS or if there is something else going on.

Just do what it recommends. Grub is the part where it asks windows or Linux so it should be on /dev/sda

I don't use the manager. Apt-get upgrade should update everything you need. I have not yet updated to 1.5

I tried to perm root it with one of those one click root apps and it didn't work at all so ya. I also tried temproot and that didn't work either. I really want to root because I hate the sense layout, and I would also like to know how to flash cyanogenmod and stuff because I am a total idiot when it comes to hacking. I'm running GB 2.3.4 and Sense 2.1 I think. Idk if that matters though.
