quick NAND unlock question - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I rooted 2.2 froyo, and used unrevoked forever. S is unlocked but I am unable to install any cm6 roms. Does this mean nand is still locked on my phone? And if so what do I do to unlock it as I am wery about repeating the wrong steps. Thanks

You are going to have to install the eng-bootloader in order to use the cm6 ROMs.
If you have not flashed any ROMs on your phone you should be at 2.1
Now you need to follow the rest of the instructions and install the eng-bootloader from the pc36img.zip

I have installed other roms currently running the latest fresh rom

I never updated my bootloader when I rooted my 2.2 froyo.. I have cm6. Maybe I lucked out.

Could you please confirm which boot loader you have on your phone?

I'm rooted and I have that exact version. I used unrevoked 3 to root my EVO.

I have the same evo got it like a week ago I used the hboot s-off guide under android development but only problem I had with that program was that I couldnt access recovery so then I used unrevoked to flash clockworkmod revovery do this at your own rish though I messed my first evo up by just using unrevoked camera wouldnt work im 14 I think you will be able to figure out how to use the hboot guide but when you flash a rom make sure its a 3.30.651.3 other wise you camera wont work im using OmegeEvo v1.1 by racism

Where do u get unrevoked 3 at? Do i get that from the market and will it brick my phone? Can i use any rin with it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
do not use unrevoked it will permanently curropt your radio. unrevokied 3 is now out of date, thanks to htc's latest security update. use an alternative method if you happen to have a mac, i have a very nice 2 or 3 command root kit for you... testers wanted
So u cant use unrevoked 3? I do not have a mac i have a pc. I really want root mine. Im coming from the hero

I did not have any problems rooting my EVO using Unrevoked3. I followed the simple instructions and the process was painless. Before getting my EVO, I rooted my Droid Incredible using Unrevoked3. As for it being outdated as stated by someone else, I'm unaware of it. Check out the second link above and read for yourself. Happy Thanksgiving.

unrevoked does not work on any 3.30 evo software because of the new hboot security. it will not gain root, just corrupt the radio.

Man i dont think i can root it via ADB. never done it before. There is no one click root method?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i am trying to work out the bugs in a 3-command method... adb is not that hard to setup and use.
If u can do that 3 way command that would be easier.

Solved.

Ok, so I have a samsung captivate, and with the captivate i do not have to root to flash recovery and then a custom ROM.
But, my friend has an EVO and wants a ROM. Only problem is he's running 2.2, which as I've read hasn't been rooted for evo yet.
So, can I bypass needing root by simply flashing recovery and flashing custom ROM?
Regards
Smith

Yes, you can root 2.2 and no you can not bypass it

Want to root

Just want to root and nothing else (no recovery, roms, etc). What's the best way to just simply root?

Use Unrevoked to root, and it will also give you s-off as well.

It will also change your recovery to ClockworkMod.

What is s off?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
It's a more full root option. Allows you to flash hboot versions, splash screens and a few other things.
You don't really need it, it's more for advanced users but it's nice to have it off to give you the possibility of doing further tweaks to your device.
You can still flash ROM's and Kernels with it on.

No you can't, only the rru.can be flashed
Also s-off is rooting, it allows for access to system files

You don't have to have s-off. When running unrevoked, before you let it do anything, uncheck "disable phone security" and it will keep s-on. Much easier if you may ever have to send it in for service.

This is wrong. I have flashed numerous ROM's before I put S-Off.
Did you run unrevoked.

I, too, flashed multiple ROMs before doing S-OFF. S-OFF is for flashing things like radios, HBOOT versions, and splash screens. And metamorph things too I believe.

My bad, I thought you needed to be s-off for anything.

Hmm....I'm still not sure what exactly I need to do to root. I checked those links, and it looks like "unrevoked" is how you root, but it seems like there are different unrevoked software, so I'm not sure what to pick.
I was taken to "unrevoked3" but it said "this does not currently work with stock froyo phones." My phone is stock froyo.
Guess I just want to make sure before I do anything. With my previous phones, it was as simple as clicking a button to root.
It is with this phone as well
Unrevoked 3 should work fine as long as its for the incredible

Friend's EVO, never Rooted, S-Off, cant install Superuser???

My buddies EVO has never been rooted and he got the GB OTA. He wants to go to CM7. His bootloader says S-off so I don't know why I can't install superuser.
Oh, I searched dont cop a 'ttude
His phone is rooted, but the ROM doesn't have superuser privileges. Download a rooted 2.3 version and install it for superuser privileges. Flash AmonRa as a PC36IMG if need be

Wait whoa just read that. He has never rooted his phone, but it says S-Off? And if it is S-Off, just flash AmonRa and go to the CM7 thread and download it and flash it.

Got to admit he is right how is that possible. Sounds like it was rooted and had unrevoked forever then he updated. Why he updated is another story but like you were told just run Amon PC36IMG file and flash away
