[Q] Trying to install Froyo FOTA to my Unrevoked Evo and it's giving me an error help

I have my HTC EVO Unrevoked on Version 2.1 I only to use Wifi-Tether, now an update came FOTA and when I try to install it starts but hang out need some help plezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Unrevoked gives problems with the latest OTA update. Search for OTA_Supersonic_3.26.651.6-1.47.651.1_releasem24cfnusi9dsrr6i.zip . Rename it to update.zip and put it in your EVO's SD card. Turn off the phone and boot into recovery, install the update.zip and that will do the job. Warning: It eliminates root privileges.

I rooted through Unrevoked and had the same problem. I just installed the stock rom from shipped-roms.com and did the OTA that way. I really wish I just flashed to a custom ROM instead.

If you want to keep root (if you even have it fully) you will need to install one of these ROMs in the dev section. You may want to try another root method and then update to 2.2 with one of these ROMs. You will lose your WiFi tether (free of course) if you update to the FOTA update... for now.

Installing stock HTC ROM while rooted

If I downgrade my HBOOT from 0.92 to 0.80 and root it and install Clockmodrecovery.
Can I download the original HTC Froyo ROM from the sticky thread with official RUU ROM's and flash it?

No. You don't root a bootloader. If you install the official ROM, it will remove root.

Okay thanks.

I see you're looking after the same as me, take a look in this thread. It's the official 2.2 rom with root access

That is a custom ROM, not the official/stock ROM (it's just very similar).

[question] root after 2.2 RUU

Is it possible to use the 2.1 RUU after using the 2.2 RUU? I want to downgrade to use unrevoked. Thanks for the help.

If you're S-OFF, you can just root by installing a custom recovery using PB31IMG.zip and flashing a root zip.

Watch this video, has instructions and the necessary files to download listed in the information section.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeuiURZZZds&feature=player_embedded
Easy directions, and brings you back to Stock 2.1, .77 HBOOT and 1.xx Radio. Essentially, the way your phone was when you purchased it.
You backup anything you can, this will wipe your device.
After finishing this process, if you want to go back to the 2.2 RUU with Root...
1. Perform unrEVOked Root Process.
2. Flash unrEVOked forever.
3. Flash Stock Recovery
4. Perform 2.2 RUU (you will lose your root... here)
5. Flash ClockworkMod (you can do this because of the S-OFF function being invoked)
6. Flash a root payload containing su and superuser.apk
7. If you want to go ahead and revert to Stock Android 2e recovery (being prepared for other OTAs in the future)
If you need help feel free to PM me.

Full of win!

Thank you all so much!! I'm going to try this later tonight. If I want free tethering after 2.2 with root, do I just install the binaries and the old evo tether (pre) or has that changed too? I read something about changing a setting so Verizon doesn't pick it up.

Yes you can. Downgrade it to 0.83 and then use the Unrevoked method to gain root access.

(sorry, I can't post links)
I had to do this when mine came back from HTC loaded with 0.92 after a repair, so can tell you it works perfectly.

try using this, a universal downgrader
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
worked for me bootloader 0.92

You can downgrade and root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256

Nice i was about to ask the same thing...
The problem is when you say to downgrade from 0.92 to 0.83 it means that you will get 2.1...
Is there a way to maintain the 2.2 and root?
Or is there a way to root 2.1 and then install 2.2?

Once rooted just load a custom ROM of your choice.

here was mentioned update unrevoked 3.2, which suppose to work on any HBOOT, but in www.unrevoked.com/recovery can't download at the mom cause they fix some bugs )

root problems

hello i have an htc desire whit s-off on stock ruu and cwm recovery but no root and all over the internet they said that just revolutionary can root my gb stock rom but when i enter in revolutionary it just said that i have already s-off and ask me if i want to flash a custom recovery, no root question how can i root my desire? and something else i will not change my stock ruu whit an other one , this is the only that work on my desire and i don't want any custom rom so please is there anyone that can tell me how to root my desire?

Revolutionary does not root ur phone, it makes u s-off. To root, simply google superuser, and on that site, download superuser zip file and the su-binary for arm. Put both files on sdcard, boot recovery and flash both zip files and reboot.
