Rooted and Updated to Froyo - am I still rooted? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
This is my first post!
I updated to froyo and still have HBOOT in the beggining when holding down the volume button and powering on.
When I try to run a Rom from Rom manager it says
"you must root your phone for ROM Manager to function. Super user was not found blah blah...."
Do I have to re root my phone?
I used the Rom from Shipped Roms to install froyo

Is you phone rooted and S-OFF? If not, just go to the link I gave you and follow condition 5. Skip step 2 (you will not need this). Skip step 6. That should get you the following files in your c:\android-sdk-windows\tools folder:
PB31IMG.zip (this is the 2.1 ROM)
rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin (this is a root exploit - gives you temperary root)
mtd0.img (need to research this one)
flash_image (this flashes images)
Skip step 9. When you complete the remaining steps, you should be back to stock 2.1.

[Q] Please have mercy on a noob trying to root an EVO

I want to root my EVO so I don't have to pay $30 for WiFi... this is what I get when I try to load PC36IMG.zip:
Main version is older. Update Fail

Yes I already updated to 2.2 does this mean I can't root now?
Extremely confused at this point...please help. Thank you.

One click root for evo
1. This should be in q&a
2. Welcome
3. Just use unrevoked its a program on ur computer that does it all for you.

That's not true right now actually. Some of the Evo's that have been sold lately have a new H-BOOT image that hasn't been cracked yet. They are working on it though.
I'm guessing I'm one of those users with the new H-Boot image......
... since I followed the step by step method, and it doesn't seem to work. Considering I just got this phone today, I'm guessing I have the newer HBoot image on it. As for what happens, when I'm running the Unrevoked3 software, it gets through the recovery screen where you scroll down to HBoot USB then reboots back up the phone instead of writing the custom recovery.
Just in case this might help, my phone has the following software version:

Any help you guys can provide would be much appreciated.
I found the HBOOT version when I pulled the battery, then pressed the power button and Down volume key at the same time to bring up the bootloader. It's at the top of the white screen.
Here is the link to thread where a couple devs are working on this and trying to get it into Unrevoked.

[Q] How To Get Unrevoked To Root Evo Properly

I recently lost my HTC EVO 4g which had been rooted. Obviously the new one came unrooted and i need to root it. I previously had done the one-click root using unrevoked forever in order to obtain Superuser permissions before flashing a custom rom. When i attempt to do this with my new EVO, after running unrevoked it runs until the point of "Searching for root, Ok to restart if this doesnt work" at which point it gets stuck. What do i do to make it continue in the process and root the phone?
I removed htc sync and have the universal android drivers in place
My phone is as follows:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 2.15.00.11.19

2.6.32.17-gee57fd

Any help would be greatly appreciated
EDIT: I accidently typed unrevoked forever. I meant to say that I used unrevoked 3 and that is when this problem occured

Im sorry, i dont know why i wrote unrevoked forever. I did use unrevoked 3 and this is what happened
I think I found the problem i didnt have the current unrevoked 3.3 and only had 3.21 i will try the new one and post back
I figured it our on my own with a little more research on my part. just wasn't using the most up to date version of unrevoked 3 so it wasn't compatible with the most recent OTA. I fixed it. Its rooted now. Thanks

[Q] Confused--Just want factory clean!

Hi, I recently purchased a secondhand HTC Desire Z off eBay that had been both unlocked from Bell Wireless and had a custom rom installed on it. I am having an impossible time figuring out what to do and when to do it--what I want is a Desire Z that is running the stock rom (which I currently don't have and no not where to download) that has been overclocked anywhere up to 2GHz. I would also like all of my applications to function normally (currently YouTube videos will not play). Here is all of the software info:
Android Version:
2.2.1

Browser Version:

I've tried rooting it with Visionary, which doesn't work (I get a black screen after it attempts to root for about 20 seconds).
Please, step-by-step instructions would be greatly valued. I'm currently using a Mac, but I have Windows 7 installed on a Bootcamp partition, so if you may give me instructions in either terminal or cmd; either works.

There is a guide for reverting back to stock in the wiki however, not having a backup of a partition that is changed in the process of rooting, you won't be able to return the phone to an "out of the box" state. If you're just wanting the stock ROM, just download the stock ROM (check the sticky in the dev section) and flash it to your device.

What is the ultimate purpose of that partition that I can no longer get back? Is it going to drastically effect how the phone runs?

Basically, removing root capability. If you just want a stock ROM, just check the sticky (sorry, I'd link to it if I weren't on the XDA app) in the dev thread for a list of available stock ROMs.

The problem is that I don't currently have root access. Visionary is crashing, I tried using rage, which was also unsuccessful; I'm unable to install or manage roms using Rom Manager because of the lack of root access. Can I force the rom onto the phone and force install it using adp? Thanks in advance.
It looks like you're already rooted considering that the Virtuous ROM has already been flashed to your device.
Can you boot into CWM by powering on with the power+vol down combination?
I can boot into CWM, but I can't manage roms using the rom manager app. I have to download clockworkmod, but rom manager claims to not have permission to do that. I am unable to go to superuser and give it permissions. How would I go about putting the stock rom on the device and installing it?
Have a look at the development forum -- as of now, there are some stock or nearly stock ROMs (albeit rooted) available for download.
Afterwards, place the .zip on your sdcard, reboot into CWM and install from there.
I'll try it tonight and let you know how it works. Thanks in advance!

I am also trying to revert my phone back to factory settings for warranty purposes and I used clockworkmod to go back to my original rom but I cannot find the original recovery image to put back so s-off can be turned back on. Every thread I read says to download a file similar to pc10img.zip and go into bootloader so it will load except boot loader says "wrong image" or "image not found" what do do and where can I get a good file

Thank you so much; it all worked out! I updated the rom to the 2.4 version of xboarder56's Gingerbread. Everything works, and it's overclocked to 1.5GHz--fast enough to play N64 roms on N64oid at full speed (pretty much the reason I bought this phone, lol).

[Q] EVO Update/GPS Problems

My girlfriend has the EVO 4G (the original model, she got it on launch date) and I rooted it for her simply to get rid of the bull**** apps on there. However, since it is rooted she is having two problems:
1) OTA updates download fine but do not install.
2) GPS Navigation works for about 2 minutes before it force closes. If you open it up again it will FC immediately and do so until the phone is restarted. Then the process repeats.
Getting her the OTA updates is not too important, but she REALLY wants GPS to work. How can I:
a) Unroot the phone WITHOUT wiping and hope that that fixes both problems?
b) Fix the GPS problem while still remaining rooted?
Sorry for the noob questions, I have the Samsung Vibrant and am not used to this phone at all. Thanks!
Here's her info:

Anyone? Little help?
You can just back everything up with mybackup root or something like that and try a different ROM but you'll need to wipe to make sure you don't have problems .
You can check this thread out for GPS it might help its for aosp ROMs though.
