ok so I exchanged two evo's yesterday they both came stock with the ota 1.47 I Was able to Root and Nand ONE!! no issues went right thru in 10 minutes using ota method.
Try the second one and I can't get this thing to nand unlock for the life of me. I have ROOT access no matter what I try from Formatting the SD card to trying every and any pc3 file I can find and I either get MAIN VERSION is older or Bootloader checks the file then goes back to the main bootloader screen and does nothing.
I am able to flash roms of course except those that require nand unlocked. So I currently have software version 1.32.651.1 release keys
WHAT am I doing wrong?
If you posted in the "Question" and Answer (Q&A) section you'd probably get more help. This section is for the development of software, roms, and fixes.

Your probably right. But since all the rooting methods are here made sense to post here. Mods can move it if they wish thanks

Unless your posting something you developed or talking about working on a group development/fix, it doesn't really make sense to post in development. Best of luck with a fix though.
Well apparentlyits getting a bit of attention here you two came in and looked. But thanks for the constructive on the point advice lmao.
As a side note I solvedthe issue using the three step easy root. I will link to it later when I get home

Alright, just moved over from a myTouch 3G and looking to go back to my rooted state. Running the Stock 2.2 Sprint rom... anyway, whats the best way to achieve root now? It looks like unrEVOked 3.1 takes care of everything but this site is litered with different options...
Edit: should have named this "best method to root" not how-to. That i have no problem with.
Edit 2: Crap, running 2.2, looks like there isn't a root method yet. 3.26.651.6
Is it even possible?
No, I'm an idiot.

That's why I didn't root pre 2.2 cuz there are so many threads with way too many pages to sort thru. I wanted to wait for a root 2.2 so I could start with a fresh thread and not have to sort thru all the crap that gets posted into those threads within an hour... hopefully when root is available the OP will lock the how to thread and open a separate thread for questions try to make it easy to just read the necessary and important info without spending hours of useless wading thru crap that some people feel the need to post.
Just can't understand how a Rom thread can have hundreds to thousands of replies and id bet 90% are all the same questions over and over and over...... anyway here's to hoping
Looks like Adrenalyne's server is down.... bandwith exceeded. Can someone post a link to the radio if you've downloaded and have it?
Want to Got to CM6 RC3 today, but won't do it w/o the radio updated. Would prefer something I can just run through HBOOT like a ZIP.
Thanks, If you post, please provide directions on how to install.
Again, Thanks.
You don't need the 2.15 radio to use CM6RC3. I'm using the 2.05 radio just fine.
i thought the 2.15 was much better then 2.05...
From what I read it's a hit or miss. Some people take longer to charge battery, or some slower/faster speeds on 3g. I would stick with the 2.05 radio.

Correct, you'll get a brick.
I mean... if you name it correctly, HBOOT will find the file and ask you if you want to upgrade your radio and recovery... this should be easy. Plus, it flashes recovery, so you probably don't want to be IN recovery whilst flashing recovery.
Maybe we need to redo the wiki entry; right now it looks like something from Wikipedia, when what it should have are the instructions for flashing radios (complete with warnings), flashing ROMs, battery stats reset directions, etc. Then new-comers wouldn't have to wade through these threads that are becoming bloated with the same questions and answers.

As an Incredible owner, and a budding annoying noob, I would welcome the ability to find this information in the wiki. I've spent several hours over the last two days scouring threads and the wiki and am still pretty confused.
I made what I now think was a mistake in applying Unrevoked Forever. My end goal was to get Skyraider Vanilla going on my Dinc, and I've just been feeling my way through the process. I've hacked other stuff before and thought I could find my way through with the help of awesome, helpful folks like yourselves, but I'm currently feeling like I'm in over my head.
My sense is that I need to flash my radio from the stock 1.00.03.04.06 to the 2.15 and then load Skyraider Vanilla ... but the Unrevoked folks are clear to say that when you have Forever you should flash all partitions simultaneously, so now I'm worried about what flashing the radio to 2.15 might do before I load Skyraider. And, I have read all the info. on flashing radios and taken it to heart - I am sufficiently afraid of bricking my phone.
But now that I have Forever I'm worried about what happens when the official 2.2 update comes out. I haven't found any instructions that make it clear enough to me how to handle that.
I don't expect anyone to clean up the mess I made, but I would certainly be grateful for some more noob-oriented details in the wiki. I'd also be happy to help with that effort, if there was anything I could do.
Thanks for all the great, free and often thankless work you do to keep technology open.

Unrevoked forever is only a mistake if you need to get warranty work done.... If that's the case, you have two choices... hope that the noob tech at vzw doesn't realize you have s-off or get insurance and say it was "stolen"
You can flash a radio pretty safely w/o worrying about bricking AS LONG AS YOU DON'T FLASH THE SAME EXACT RADIO TWICE IN A ROW (like if it failed the first time or something. MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR RADIO VERSION IN HBOOT BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING). If you don't upgrade your hboot (stay on 77) you'll be fine with the new radio. Don't make a practice of flashing radio's though as it's not very safe to do it all the time. I would recommend that if you have hboot 77, upgrade the radio to either 2.05 or 2.15 using the file attached in this thread, or directly from adrenylines site. To be 100% sure, I'd compare md5sum's to be sure before flashing it. Then flash SkyRaider. Make sure to do a wipe before doing so. I'm running 77, 2.15x, and CM6 RC3 w/o problems and love it. I'm a fan of CM6 hardcore, so SkyRaider is pretty much the best sense unless you use adrenylines Second Wave.... PM me if you have any q's. I'll help you out.

Thank you so much! It's so "incredible" that folks like you are willing to help make this stuff accessible to noobs like me.
I have some heavy meetings in the next few days that I need my phone for, so it may be a few days before I can give it a go, but I will post my progress/results here. I have been thinking about the CM6 ROM, as I'm looking to see what true vanilla android is like, so maybe I'll give that a go.
My main concern with any ROM is Exchange ActiveSync, as I need that for work. There aren't many comments from folks about this at all, so I guess I'll just need to give it a go and find out for myself.

HTC pays for Exchange licensing I believe, so the BEST integration is going to be with a sense Rom. I believe that CM6 does have some Exchange "add-in's" to make it run better, but sense will have better exchange then plain vanilla (remember, except CM6). <- you can always check their change log. I know it has something in it for Exchange that you can take and investigate further.
Wait for official release of new radio?
One quick question. I just ready yet another page (can't post the link, since I'm a noob) explaining the possibility that the supposedly-coming-soon official update could include a new version of the radio that won't play nice with the leaked version. Specifically, it said, "Some figure there is a 50/50 chance that applying the leak, and then applying the final OTA update will brick your phone – making it completely useless."
Any thoughts on the probability of that being the case. I don't want to be yet another person asking "should I go for it," but I am curious what the smart ones around here think about the probability of the official update causing problems if you flashed the leaked radio.

Well, first, please provide me the post, you can type hxxt:// instead so you can post it here.
The "official" OTA is supposed to be coming August 18th (take that with a grain of salt) so not much more wait. If what you read is true, then I would imagine that it's a simple downgrade of whatever your current radio is to stock 1.xx and Hboot will be 77 or 79 whichever you have (b/c both were shipped originally with phone, they're not leaks) which we CAN do, then upgrade to official radio from stock. I can't see how that would brick anything since that's basically what would happen on a stock phone. IF YOU'RE CAREFUL, you can do just about anything you want to your phone, then they return it to stock (aside from S-OFF at this time)....

No Worries! I might recommend that if the update comes out on the 18th you just use that for a while. You can still root it, put new kernels on it (that I'm sure someone will put out), erase / install apps, etc... and that should carry you over nicely until you've read up on things and are ready to jump into this head first.
Like I said, whenever you're ready, pm me if you have q's I'll do my best to answer them. I'll read the post you mentioned and If I find anything worth writing home about I'll update this thread.
Good Luck.... and don't feel bad. I use this as my primary device too, so I usually err on the side of caution as well. A quick suggestion, sometimes it's easier to search what you're looking for on google then XDA directly. You can google something like XDA Incredible radio 2.15 upgrade and I've gotten more accurate results with goog then XDA... i weird but sometimes works better, sometimes works worse.....
Again, good luck!

With all that said, out of all the ROM's I've tried so far I like SkyRaider the best. I know the 2.5 Rom took, but I don't think the 2.5.2 version took to my phone. I also want to upgrade the Radio and add the latest version of Flash. The last few flashes I've done (2.5.2, radio, and Flash) haven't seemed to work. Unrevoked Forever has been the only thing that has actually flashed successfully.
What should I do?
Alright, so I have honestly looked every where and read as much as I can.
I have a Rooted EVO with the stock ROM. I really want to update to Gingerbread but am very confused. I do not want to lose my rooted status and I do not want a ROM with a bunch of MODS. I just want a simple stock ROM with Gingerbread and Root access. Is this possible. I am confused by everything I read and do not want to brick my phone.
Will updating my phone with the OTA while Rooted ruin my phone? Will I be able to keep my root status?
Thanks!

There are two different rooted versions (with very minor modifications) of the new stock Gingerbread ROM (anything with the labeled "Sense" is based on HTC's ROM's, though some of them are based on ROM's from other phones), both on the first page of threads in this forum. Look for "4.22.651.2" in the thread subject--and yes, those will keep your phone rooted and S-OFF. I believe there's a third thread with a method of updating without a flash, and yet another with minor modifications to the stock ROM (the Titanium-X ROM).
By contrast, anything that says "AOSP" is based on the Android Open Source Project, and therefore quite different from an HTC ROM, though all functions work on many of them (but there is some debate on how well the various radios work on AOSP ROM's).
Okay maybe I had that coming or maybe I just didn't phrase the question right.
I looked at the page linked above before I posted this and I read it all and still was confused. I guess I am looking for the idiots guide to doing this. I don't feel confident enough on my own.
I DID read, ALOT, and I looked at all the posts that are suggested when posting a new thread.

Alright will do!
I thought the Q&A was for other basic questions. My error.
Do you have the latest recovery installed of RA or Clockwork ?
I have clockwork i believe. I just did what I think is a nandroid backup, I went into recovery and did backup.
That's always smart so you are doing good so far. What you want to do now is download the zip file and place it on your SD card. You can download it directly on your phone if its easier for you (wifi recommended). Just follow the link posted by dodgerbluehero above and I would recommend starting with the odexed version.
Now go into recovery and choose flash from zip - then - choose zip on SD card. Navigate to the downloaded file and hit the power button to select it and again to confirm. It can take a few minutes to write the files so just leave it alone. It will tell you when it's done and you can reboot.
These instructions are from my memory but should be pretty close. You would typically want to wipe but the dev says not to worry about it if you are coming from a stock rom.
Give it a shot, you will be fine. Pm me if you have any questions because the mods will probably close this thread soon. Good luck!

what confuses me is where it says "firmware". Do I still have to install that or just the ROM??
The firmware is optional. You can install the rom and then decide if you want to flash the radio as well afterwards.
After you flash, the first boot sometimes takes a little while. Just let it do it's thing. You will be happily surprised how easy this actually is to do.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
but what benefit does it have? is the radio i have not as good?
Some people get better results with signal/3g speeds/wimax. The consensus seems to be that it varies by phone and area.
You can flash the rom without also flashing the radio and be just fine. Stop worrying and take the leap.
On the other hand this may not be for you.

Well I appreciate the time you spent explaining it. I just don't have the money to buy a new phone if I brick it. I rooted my phone on my own but never did any rom updates. I am going to try it once it downloads. Thank you again.
Oh one more thing, be sure that your phone has plenty of charge to make it through the flash and restart or that could lead to bricking your phone.

Agreed, at this point in the game, that's about the only way to brick your phone. It's one of my personal favorite little jokes when clockworkmod asks me are you sure? This cannot be undone! Darn near everything can be fixed thanks to this awesome community!

Thanks to everyone for keeping this going it has helped me so much.

I think I recall seeing something about that error on the unrevoked website. I'm out and about right now but I'll check on it when I get home, but in the meantime if you wanna do some digging, I'd start there
I would like to start with an apology,
I have been reading what I could for a couple weeks now and am just honestly confused.
I have a sprint evo 4g and would like to root it.
I have seen a few posts saying it can't be rooted because I took an update a few days ago and don't know if I blocked myself from root. Also I was wondering if I just reset to factory would it undo the block?
Again I'm sorry if this question has been previously answered.

I am new here to, as far as posting. I love this forum, but there is ONE bad problem; there is TOO MUCH information on some topics. Search is easy to say, but very hard to do and sift through sometimes HUNDREDS of posts and still not be able to find what is needing to be found.
I swear, I wanted to find if there was a STOCK ROOTED ROM, available to me, and all I could find after an hour was a listing of I think maybe 50 ROMS, and NONE of them stated it was a ROM that would unroot my phone, or if my phone would stay rooted after the flash. I still dont know. I gave up looking.
I purchased a launcher pro license also, but I'm finding that I like GO Launcher EX and most of the GO Dev team's apps better. It's far more customizable and bacon-y.

I don't think the evo will be rooted ever again we are screwed every one now has the crappy evo 3d. I was wondering if the same method they use to root the phone would work on ours

Crappy? I own both phones and the 3d is nice, it has a couple bugs that need to be addressed but the dual core makes it much faster and I'm getting about 13 to 16 hours battery life on a stock battery, I'm barely getting a little more than that on my extended battery in the EVO... Sidenote: the OTA gingerbread update made me switch phones, my og evo hasn't been the same since

I have searched, and searched, and been confused by what appeared to be conflicting information.
I've seen people with my version rooted, but don't understand enough yet so I thought it would be appropriate to ask. Again I have been reading about rooting this phone since I got it, but as this would be my first root I wanted to be certain I moved forward correctly first.
I am sorry if I offended you.

I am new here to, as far as posting. I love this forum, but there is ONE bad problem; there is TOO MUCH information on some topics. Search is easy to say, but very hard to do and sift through sometimes HUNDREDS of posts and still not be able to find what is needing to be found.
I swear, I wanted to find if there was a STOCK ROOTED ROM, available to me, and all I could find after an hour was a listing of I think maybe 50 ROMS, and NONE of them stated it was a ROM that would unroot my phone, or if my phone would stay rooted after the flash. I still dont know. I gave up looking.

Here is a stock rooted rom for when you get root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830153 There are a lot of things to view in this forum but honestly it takes time to understand stuff. I did not learn to decipher new from old and right from speculation right away. You got to sip through the crap and especially before asking certain things. Hey better yet PM a person if you have a question and you think they may be able to answer you. The mods made changes in this forum as well as others a while ago to make developers post things in a certain manner to make it easier. I read this from one of the stickys... which I recommend everyone to read..
[ROM] 08/03/11 | SPRINT LOVERS | 2.3.3 | 4.24.651.1 | Radio/Wimax/PRI All-In-One
[Kernel]Golden Monkey 1.1 (31-July-2011)
etc.... take a minute and take it all in it could be overwhelming

some people with your version were rooted prior to the new software upgrade so that is why you see them rooted. Right now you have to wait and believe me when it is rooted you will know and no need to ask anymore. Keep checking Develpment section.
Read the Unrevoked 3.21 thread or even the HBoot 2.10 downgrade thread just for an fyi on how things work

Yes, you are able to acheive root through flashing a pre-rooted rom but aside from that, no, you cannot get root just by re-rooting. S-off just means the security flags are off for your device meaning the boot loader doesn't discriminate files. As long as it's PC36IMG.zip you should be good to go. If you want an appropriate way to flash roms, I suggest looking at twrp. It's sexy as hell and I love the red rum theme for it.
It's the first themable recovery, and it looks great. Then you can look at getting cm7 or any other rom you want regardless if you want AOSP or Sense.

Thanks. I remember when I took OTA update and thought that I was screwed, but only to find I was S-off. There was a thread where I flashed amon ra recovery and was able to flash a custom rom (mikmik). I went back stock and have not messed around with my EVO (other phones and tablets Lol). Just been out the EVO loop lately and was not sure if flashing amon recovery was the preferred method still.
Going to take a look at the recovery you suggested and give it a go. I'm just so use to cwm. Even having amon was a different feel for me.
The dual core processor is probably the difference other than that is the same crap and I forgot to mention about the 3d camera its horrible!! Htc said you don't need glasses I just a video for a few seconds and got dissy it doesn't make any sense about the whole 3d deal. And also why would they lower the megapixel of the camera specially if your going to have a 3d phone? I think no body is able to use the 3d feature because of the quality
