Develop Bugs

I'm new to the Evo. (Q) about rooting and recovery.

Im not new to XDA tho, I've been on the Epic forums for a few years. But I couldn't take the lack of support the Epic has. So i just traded in my Epic today and I was wondering what the best, most stable way to root, and install a custom recovery on my Evo. Also, I'm not new to flashing, or adb shell. I know there's a few different ways to root, and install a custom recovery, so I'd be very grateful for someone to point me in the right direction. I heard that the Evo forums are the best at XDA. Thanks so much for your help.

We haz some good people here.
Easiest method is to use unrevoked; download the hboot drivers, install then uninstall htc sync, enable usb debugging on phone, then run the program.
For recovery, it'll come with clockwork [unrevoked flashes it], you can then switch to amon_ra if you wish via PC36IMG file; both can be found in the development section.
And welcome, be wary of the trolls, don't feed them.

If ur phone has the newest software (2.3) on it then u r SOL. If ur are still on stock 2.2 then just run unrevoked or look for the auto-root thread and follow that.

if you are using Gingerbread (software 4.22.651.2 or the new OTA: 4.24.651.1), there is no method of root just yet.
but if you are running FroYo (3.70.651.1) you are in luck
the method i used was this: [ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02/2.10 SOFF - Goodbye Stranger - Upd. 02.25.11 - xda-developers
but you can use any of the ones that are in the stickies in the Development section
after you are rooted, I highly recommend using Amon_RA recovery (and so do most on xda lol) follow the instructions in this thread: [Recovery] [09-Feb-2011] RA-supersonic-v2.3 - xda-developers
hope this helps you out. and welcome to the rEVOlution!!

I got 2.2 on my phone. Thanks very much for the help guys/girls. So what would happen if I had 2.3, instead of 2.2?

You would have a locked bootloader that couldn't be rooted since there is no root method yet glad you still have 2.2

I came from your exact situation and I can tell you this THIS PHONE IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more supported and FIXES are HERE! and not in the works =P like the (EPIC)
I'll answer your questions with what I did and also point out that the method I have used for root isn't the most recommended way.
Unrevoked is what used to root do it at your own risk people say, my response(It works for me) ALSO YOU CAN'T ROOT IF YOUR ALREADY on Gingerbread =/ so if you are you gotta wait till they figure out how to root it.
Also I came from an epic i KIND OF FELL in love with Miui rom on the EPIC EVEN WITH ITS bugs, battery on Miui is amazing I also love having just 1 homescreen with 3 folders of apps(tools,Misc/Games/Navigation) BW clock so easy to find what I need and the app management and ect is so fluid even settings menu and all menus for that matter ARE FAST and the built in explorer app is fantastic... try miui for evo u wont regret it my man!
flash amon ra recovery! dont use clockwork its buggy sometimes
if you need detailed instructions i dont have them in front of me and im not a big fan of XDA's search it kind of sucks NO OFFENSE but the filtering process needs work it should be like the forum.mobilisim.org BY FAR THE BEST SEARCH PROCESS! always gets me what I want in 1 search

Definitely try MIUI rom its the best its very sexy
I actually had like six girls tell me my phone was sexy

Intercept Root Apk and Recovery flasher

:-D
Finally, there is an App that can Get you permanent root on Samsung Intercept (Both Virgin Mobile and Sprint versions). It does not need PC, USB cable or USB Drivers. You can get Root as well as install CM01 Custom Recovery using this App.
Thanks to spaztecho from SDX Developers.

Many thanks for the link! I had rooted my Intercept via the Samsung driver method and a windows PC - for the life of me my girlfriend's identical Intercept would not root using that method.
This worked like a charm. Easy as hell. One click, you got root - no external PC, no issues.
Thank you so much for posting this!

Still using stock VM 2.2 rom after rooting - used root toolbox to kill a lot of the annoying apps that are included with the rom, installed a decent ad blocker - worries about trying a custom ROM - I rely on being able to tether my Intercept via wifi and don't want to risk messing up my 3g signal.
Give me a shout if you find a good ROM?

This apk is the bomb. It works! A good one to keep on the SD card just in case.

Unrooting?
Is there a way to unroot after this process, in case of damage?

Yes there is. I use my intercept for fun and development, and i have tried and successfully UN-rooted the device.
Search unroot Samsung intercept on Google. I remember the sdx forums had a tutorial.

[Q] I'm confused, please help....

Hello everyone, I obviously have a n00b question. I've searched around but can't quite find anything specific enough.
OK, so I bought my Sprint EVO 4G a few months ago used, and only a few days ago realized that it was rooted (I'm a dummy . I do believe I have full root access judging from info on the restore menu. I don't know if I have a stock ROM or if it was flashed. I don't see anything obvious, but then again this is the only EVO I've messed with.
Here's my phone info: Android version: 2.2 / Baseband: 2.15.00.11.19 / Kernel: 2.6.32.17gee557fd HTC-kernel"at symbol"and18-2#15 / Build Number OMJ's 4.5 / Software Number: 3.70.651.1
Jeesh, a lot of info, I know, sorry. Anyway, what would I need to do to get the latest software (or ROM - gingerbread?) and keep full functionality such as wifi, 3g, 4g, tethering (i have wifi tether) etc? I'm not even sure what I could be missing now, I haven't had a chance to try 4g.
I would like to stay rooted and be able to tweak. I don't know if the phone has ever had an actual sprint update or not. I don't know what root technique was used or anything. I'm lost.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work.
Dan.

Do this: Battery pull then hold your volume down button and power button until a white screen comes up then tell me what it says there.

Looks like you're running OMJ's rom. Google "Evo OMJ Rom" and you'll see what i mean.

Yeah omj is a rooted ROM so your on a costume ROM ,to check if you have full root (s-off) go to your bootloader by either hold down power and when the menu pops up you might have the option to reboot to bootloader or download an app you can use quick boot or turn the phone off and turn it back on by holding volume down and power then look at the top and see if it says s-on or s-off . If your s-off you have full root .
Then just read up on flashing ROMs and mods check out the developer section for ROMs

Ok, I checked and it says s-off. That's cool. Do I need to do anything special since I have 2.2 or can I flash right to a gingerbread Rom? I've read conflicting stories. Thanks everyone.

It all depends on the ROM and there are steps you need to take before flashing anything like making a nandroid backup and proper wiping so make sure to read as much as you can if you need help with anything you can PM me.

You might be in luck, I might have a froyo RUU on file at home. I'm at work right now so I can't exactly check. I should be able to look this afternoon and see if I still have it.

OK so ruu roms, I didn't think the EVO was a froyo rom before. If you install this, does this lose root?

Download a file manager such as ES File Explorer from the Play Store, and look for a file called ".nomedia". Delete it. I once had that problem where none of my music showed up on any ROM.

[Q] rooted or not rooted?

Hey guys sorry for posting this thread. I've tried reading others about the same situation im going thru, but phones are different. So im rooted, I think I'am. I did the RWilco one click method for the sph-d710vmub. everything went great phone rebooted perfect turned on and I have the superuser app. Im running on android 4.0.4 Fl26 (stock). My recovery mode saids ACSRecovery5 v1.0.0.0 CWM5 based.
Now every time i try using a rooted access app. Dosnt let me at all not super user, barnacle, mobil odin, Titanium back up.
I tried flashing roms, saids installation aborted.
Can anyone tell me if im actually rooted or not?
And if so how can I get root permission so i can get these apps going, and I can flash my ass away.
Im really anxious to see my phone full potentials and Im really doing this to change my sg2 theme.
So thats my reason for root. Im a complete noob, but I got this far after almost bricking my phone/

You are not rooted if apps won't pull it. You don't need root to theme. There are plenty of launchers. Since you seem to have a CWM, you can flash a rooted ROM.
