Need Help..Can't root with Unrevoked Beta 3.21 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Could someone please help I keep getting "failed to flash recovery image" every time I go throug the process on the Beta Test 3.21. Everyone seems to be having success.
I no that I have the bootloader installed and the phone is definetly on "charge only" mode when I try to use the program.
I know for a fact that there is no HTC Synce or anything downloaded to my computer that could hurt it because I am on a brand new computer.
What am I missing..is there something else that I need to download to my computer or phone to make it work?

I would highly suggest checking out the IRC channel #unrevokedtest. There are Unrevoked developers there to help with issues that people are having with the beta builds of 3.21.

is your phone on 2.2 or 2.1? d if its on 2.2, you have to use a different method for rooting...that is what happened to me.

I am on 2.2..But I thought the beta test was for stock froyo 2.2?

idk i wasnt able to get it to work, use this method, it's the one i used
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765496

of course he's not online now. well i sent him a PM with the link to that guide to rooting, all we can do now is wait and see if he posts something like "help i think i bricked my phone!" in this section. anyways, good luck to you

help!!

can someone please help me, i used the simpleroot method im guessing it all worked fine it says my build number is 1.17.651.1. how do i remove simpleroot? im trying to run RUU to get back to my stock evo ive installed htc sync and drivers, phone will charge, it will sync with htc sync but everytime i try to run RUU its telling me it cant find my phone. im on windows 7. also after i install htc sync drivers and run RUU it will find it but then it goes into htc bootloader and installs htc bootloader and the installation will stop saying it cant connect to my phone and wont connect anymore after that
I think I've read elsewhere that you may have to just keep trying the RUU until it "takes." That may be 5-10 attempts or more from what I saw. I'm sorry I can't report any direct experience, but maybe kill a half-hour trying.
did you turn on USB Debugging? adb wont work without it.
yeah usb debug is on, i guess ill just keep running RUU. also is this to be dont when the phone is on or in bootloader?
Try doing it in fastboot mode (access from bootloader menu). Also, I never could get the 1.47 RUU to work for me, only the original RUU worked. I had to use a PC36IMG.zip to update to 1.47.
where can i get the file PC36IMG.zip to update to 1.47?
If it helps at all, you can just use the RUU install to go to 1.32 and do an OTA update to 1.47. I went with this route and had no problem updating to froyo.
I did download a copy of the 1.47 rom just in case I needed it, there are several links floating around the forum I don't have them handy so maybe you can find them, I think I just searched for "unroot" or something like that.
just remember if you do this method and update to froyo it it is very likely you will be waiting WEEKS if not longer to be able to reroot your phone if you ever want to (if it is possible at all).
There is already a rooted froyo in the dev section. So unless you aer taking it to sprint may want to look there

[Q] Fail-pu on HBOOT 2.02

Just wanted to get this out there. I have been trying to root all night with no luck. Hoping others with same issue will come for an offer help. Free evo accessory for anyone that can get this solved for me.
You need to provide a few more details what you've done to try and achieve root. What method did you try? What are seeing on the screen at the various steps.
I used the long method listed Here. If you're using the .exe file in the other thread, its not as reliable.
I am having the sane issue. I have tried regaw's method, the manual method listed in the hboot S-off thread, and the automated method in the other hboot thread. Everything works except flashing pc36img.zip....it throws the error he mentioned when updating radio v2, plus it throws fail-ic when trying to update bootloader (it does not say "bootloader skipped" as indicated it should in the guide). From this point forward, it will not boot past white HTC splash w/o running ruu. You can even do the rest of the guide and get a custom recovery flashed (i have done both amon-ra, and clockwork). After running ruu, S-off sticks (meaning unrevoked worked, I suppose), but you obviously don't have root. If you try to flash a custom Rom, even just a rooted version of the ruu, it throws a symlink error (something like E:fail can't symlink bin/lsmod....can't remember exact syntax, I posted it in another thread though, I'll see if u can find it). I have tried doing this from custom recovery and from toast's pc-based recovery. Is there a way for me to pull a log of what is happening when the pc36img has its errors? That may be the only way for me to give you more info than I have.

dl this file rename it pc36img and push it to you phone and reboot in the hboot and let it install it should pass you will have root access and clockworks custom recovery but until someone fixes the roms or gives a answer they wont work they will fail but you will have a phone and root admin.

I used Method 3 from this zikronix's [TOOL][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02 S-OFF thread. Everything works great until I have to flash PC36IMG. It starts but gives the Radio-V2 Fail-PU and Bootloader-Fail-IC. The screen shows updated failed. Upon restart I'm at the red triangle boot screen. Can't do anything else from there.

I don't see what this will do for me since I don't have S-Off status yet. I can't get that far. Plus, this isn't a comeplete root. I have another Evo here that has the exact same specs, right down to Hardware 003 and I just did the Method 3 root and it went through with flying colors. So...

I think it is the bad blocks issue popping up again. I read about it in toast's root thread, I believe. If I am right, toast figured out a fix before. We may have to find a way to use his fix again. It was for a different bootloader, though. Might not work straight out of the box. I'm no dev, but this seems to me to be what is happening.
tejasrichard, i didnt know you got an Evo.
Come see us in #HTC-EVO on irc.freenode.net
Alot of devs hang out in irc so you guys might be able to get help there.
Use clockwork.
For some reason, amon ra doesn't work right away. You'll get fail-pu with it.

Sup Otis! Yeah, I finally got my upgrade, lol! I'm a little late to the party, but better late than never, right? I'll stop by tomorrow and say hi (promised the missus some quality time tonight). I've got a few more things I want to try, but I'm betting whatever toast did b4 to get around the bad blocks will work again. Need to pm him and see what he thinks.

[Q] Desire 2.2

I bought an unbranded/unlocked Desire a few days ago, and it had Froyo preinstalled.
It REFUSES to connect to HTC Sync, and it seems impossible to root using unrevoked too (i've tried Vista, Win7 and Ubuntu). All without success. I have tried EVERY method/guide/tutorial out there.
So my question is this. HOW DO I ROOT?!
I'm thinking of using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256
And then using unrevoked on the stock 2.1, but in that thread it says
Update:
The new version of unrevoked3 (3.21) can now root froyo ROMs directly, and a downgrade is no longer necessary if you just want to root and install custom recovery, although there appear to be a few issues with this new release. If you want to rebrand/debrand your phone, rooting won't achieve this and you can use this method instead. If you cannot get the new version of unrevoked3 to work you can also run this and use the older version (3.14) that works with Android 2.1.

So i have no garauntee that unrevoked will work on 2.1 either, and i'm not downgrading for no reason.
Does anyone have any ideas, cause i'm running out of ideas here.

Does it have a new H-boot that unrevoked cant do yet? What is the H-boot on the phone?
Does unrevoked come up with any errors? Have you instaleed the correct drivers, adb for it?
What is your hboot #?
Power off, press down volume and power on should tell you at the top.
Then check the sticky topics, at the top of dev section, as they have solved newest hboot problems.
Ps this is best for the q&a section, good luck, and sure we'll all try and help.
Desire is the source of all suffering.
HBOOT number is 0.93, take it this is too new?
The non-connection to HTC Sync worries me, if it wont connect to the manufacturers software, what is there to make me think it will work with anything else?
Don't quote me on this but unrevocked should work on 0.93,
Best is to get suck into this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=709146&highlight=unrevocked
And see how you do.
Goes through the whole deal with drivers etc.
Do you have ADB yet? because you can use adb devices to check to see if your desire is connecting to your computer, but as cjm1979 said you need to get latest drivers from the adb, but seem to remember you have to uninstall htcsync anyway to use unrevocked. But it should all be there in that guide.
But getting adb and drivers is important.
> Uninstall HTC sync 3.x version from your windows box and install 2.x version and then try it ( Important: Disable any firewall/antivirus tools when doing it)
The latest version of unrevoked should work.
Just found this in the unrevocked topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=725738&highlight=solved&page=36
My HBOOT version is 0.93.0001
Follow the instruction to unrevoked,f after installed the HBOOT driver and enable USB debug, run unrevoked as administrator and connection "charging only",
the unrevoked still not start as follow, any idea?
Solved: I never install HTC sync.
Read all post found similar situation and I install and uninstall HTC sync. Problem resolved.
Never used htcsync for myself anyway.
Ok guys, i found the problem.
This is embarassing, But i forgot to uninstall DroidExplorer which unknown to me, was cocking it all up silently. Uninstalled that, ran unrevoked and it looks to be working, i'm currently on the ClockworkMod recovery screen. Yeah, all working now, and i should be rooted now.
Am i correct in saying that since the phone was unlocked/unbranded, i can now just whack an update.zip on my SD and flash it? Or is there anything else to be done before that (I know enough to do a Nandroid backup before that step)?
Thank you all for helping an idiot solve his non-problem!
I've uninstalled Sync, moved the drivers to system32, ran unrevoked as admin, ran it in compatibility mode, nothing. All required drivers/softwares/fairy dust is present. I really have tried nearly everything listed on tutorials. I've damn near broken googles servers just searching for a fix!
You don't copy any drivers, HTC sync installs in 2 parts - the program and the drivers.
Once installed, go into Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the program but leave the drivers. This works fine
Then make sure unrEVOked is running BEFORE you connect your phone, and make sure USB Debugging is enabled on the phone
One of the tuts i read said movng the drivers to system32 might help, but did it hell. I'm all rooted now, just installed TitaniumBackup, is it meant to ask for permissions 2000 times every time i do something? It just asked me about 20 times O.O

Once, when you've ticked the box,
Unless your talking about superuser notifications which you can turn of in the superuser app
Desire is the source of all suffering.
You mean the 'remember' box? Yeah, done that too but it keeps popping up asking for permissions anyway.

Yes meant the remember box, is the box always the SU box or is it a grey notification box saying SU access has been granted.
Its always the SU box, asking me to give permission, but the remember box is always ticked.

[Q] Unroot 911

I had previously posted to the forum about unrooting my Evo 4g and was referred to this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141 I have followed all of the steps and I still have root access. On the recovery it told me that the PC36IMG was outdated. My phone goes in for repairs in the morning and i desperately need to remove root access and all traces of root. Any suggestions. I can use all the help that I can get.
Try a newer PC36IMG from here : http://goo-inside.me/evo/stock/ruu/
If that doesn't work you can always try an RUU.
what is a RUU?

Another way to unroot, but you run it with your phone connected to your computer. Not to be rude... but if you don't know what it is I probably wouldn't recommend running it. If your going to there are directions near the top of that page that tell you how to use it.
Okay, what would you recommend?

Follow this tutorial, enjoy.
READ. EVERY. DAMNED. INSTRUCTION. Do not skim, do not skip. READ IT. Failing to do so may result in a bricked phone which will eat your cat.
I have followed all the instructions and it is telling me that my phone is not connected properly to my pc. what do i do?
Did you install the hboot driver, and connect your phone via fastboot from the bootloader?
What OS? Did it work previously? DId you download the drivers from htc's site? When you plug it in, what step are you on?
What......? I am a first time rooter. Can you be a little more specific than that?

Download those drivers, simply follow the instructions
To get to the bootloader:
Power off device
-While powering back on, hold vol+down
-After it scans, use the volume keys to navigate to fastboot, press the power --button to select
-Connect the phone to the pc via usb cable, when the phone displays fastboot usb in blue, run the RUU exe on the pc.
Do i run the fastboot?
Yes you need to select fastboot, connect to the pc, then run the ruu exe on the pc.
I tried that and it still is telling me that my Evo is not connected. I am able to access the files on the SD card through my computer but the program is not seeing it.
Try rebooting both the computer and the phone after you install the drivers.

This is exactly why people should NOT root their phones if they don't know what they are doing. Unrooting the phone is 5 times easier than rooting it, so if you dont know how to unroot, I dont know how you were able to root.
The only reason that I rooted my phone is because of programs like unrevoked3. and the only reason that I am unrooting is because of the need to have it repaired. I love my root access and the freedom that it gives me to install custom roms and be able to do with my phone what i wish instead of only being able to "rent"my phone because the service provider only wants to truely sell me part of a phone instead of the whole thing. I have to look at the programs that they deen acceptable because thats what they want. I have to look at advertisements that they disguise as apps because I dont have the power to modify the phone that I paid for to suit my needs. This is why I root. Because I bought it and I want the whole phone not just the party that they want me to have. This is just like upgrading your computer to W7 then deciding that you like XP better. You upgraded because it was easy, you put in a disk and use a couple of mouse clicks. Now you decide that you dont like it. For me its easy to backstep. For other people it may be a little more complicated. It can still be done all someone needs to do is point them in the right direction.
Try redoing it the first way you tried. It seems you tried to flash the PC36IMG in recovery, not the bootloader.
I came to this conclusion because you said:
'On the recovery it told me that the PC36IMG was outdated."
Instead, put the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your SD card (not in any folders), boot into the bootloader & when it asks you to update, choose yes.
Be sure to flash the unrevoked s-on zip in recovery FIRST.
Sorry if this has already been said, I just skimmed the thread. If you need the correct PC36IMG, let me know.

I would like to thank all that helped me in this thread and i did click the thank you button as well. I returned my Evo and they didnt see that it was ever rooted. I found out that the problem was that I heeded to have my HTC Sync driver installed on my computer so in the device manager my Evo showed up as My HTC instead of android phone 1.0 or something to that effect. After i installed that I ran the auto RUU found in the first thread of this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141 it was a long and frustrating process but it paid off. Again thank you to all that helped. @ Sitlet I already replied to your concerns about people rooting that dont have a complete understanding and I agree to a point but we all have to start off somewhere. So now I have to root my new Evo and I go into it with a better understanding.

[Q] HTC Incredible running 2.3.4 and 2.15.10.07.07 - Please help get S-OFF

I was able to run an older version of Unrevoked to establish SU access, but Unrevoked Forever is incompatible with my radio version. So, I have SU access, but I cannot remove or convert any applications using Titanium Backup. TB runs, but it reboots the phone if I try to remove system apps. HBOOT shows S-ON since Unrevoked Forever was not able to complete due to the radio version. So, am I stuck with S-ON? Is Unrevoked Forever going to continue developing releases to cover 2.15.10.07.07?
If I understand correctly, I cannot flash an older radio version with S-ON. Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks!
HTC Incredible
2.3.4
Baseband: 2.15.10.07.07
you are correct,s-on will only let you go forward with "approved by htc" files. that means no backpeddling firmware to a rootable version,no flashing only a radio or recovery. im surprised that unrevoked even worked to get you su access,i was under the impression that all exploits had been patched in 2.3.4 source code. what happens if you try and install clockwork?
if you truly have su access,it seems it may be possible to use adb to rewrite the misc image,and thus be able to flash backwards in firmware.
however,from the sounds of the behavior youre describing for tibu,i dont believe you have su access. it prolly only put the app in the drawer,and was unable to place the matching binary.
we have been telling folks for months that they should become s-offed before the GB update,as it would be unrootable.
i bought an xtc clip awhile back that is supposed to support the incredible. i dont know that it will actually work,ill know for sure when it gets here. im told it only works with sim card phones,wich the inc is not,but its clearly listed in the supported devices.
your only real hope at this point is that someone finde a new exploit that will allow temp root and re-writing of the misc image so that you can flash older rootable firmware,or that alpharev/unrevoked can add the incredible to its supported devices list,as they use some sort of hboot trickery to get a hard patched permanent s-off hboot onto the phone first. from there you load a recovery thru hboot,then flash su in recovery.
sorry this isnt the news youre hoping for.
Thank you for the help.
It is odd. I definitely have su access through terminal, and I am running opengarden and barnacle wi-fi tether. I ran an older version of Unrevoked, and it did not complete the final step of s-off. Clockworkmod installed successfully, and I created a recovery image. Can we expect some way to root after the GB update? Is this just an HTC thing? I'm sorry for all of the questions, but I was soooo close!

If you already have clockwork mod, flash the unrevoked forever zip from here
When I flash the zip file, I get E:/ unsupported radio version. E: update failed.
Do you have adb set up and running? Are you fairly comfortable copy/pasting commands?

still with us? waiting for an answer to the above so we can procede
also is it possible you can post or PM me a link to the version of unrevoked you used?
if you dont have a link,just email me the whole file( [email protected] ) im extremely interested in trying to duplicate your condition and figuring out a reliable way for folks to downgrade and root.
Scotty,
I'm sorry for the delayed response.
I do not have ADB setup, but I have no problem following directions to get S-off and reclaim some memory!
I have emailed you the Unrevoked file to your email address. This should run perfectly on 2.3.4 with the exception of the last step of flashing unrevoked.zip for S-off. You will see the "unsupported radio version" errors on the phone's screen. Please let me know if there is anything else that I can do to help. Thank you for your help with this.
I got your email. I will put some stuff together for you,and try it out and see if it all works the way I hope it will. If so ill upload a mini-adb with some exploits files and post a guide. Basically,were just going to rewrite the misc image so you can downgrade back to froyo and run unrevoked forever. After you reroot and get s-off back,you can restore a backup of what you have now.

Ok after reading this thread again. My guide for the merge on froyo or the stuff I have for gingerbread for the merge will not work on a non emmc device. 2nd who buys a xtc clip and doesn't look what they buy? The way it works is with the sim card slot. Inc doesn't have one so it isn't going to work. It also isn't listed as supported as it would be pointless to say it does.
If I am not mistake with s-on you can't flash the recovery partition. So how did you get clockworkmod? If you have clockworkmod then you can flash non htc files. Well actually I am not sure how that would work as you have s-on but clockworkmod. Since I have never been in that boat I am unsure.
So are we talking about the inc or inc 2? If inc I am trying to think back to the desire and what was possible on s-on. If I remember right you can dump the misc then flash a lower version ruu. I just can't remember if it doesn't even flash or if it does and doesn't downgrade the radio. By the way I got it in a pm/here scotty was planning to base helping you off my merge guide. By the sounds of it anyway.
Where the commands are not the same. As the partitions would be different. The misc-image is also not the same so if he had you flash the merge misc it will more than likely bork stuff. I am more than willing to help though. How ever I do not check the forums so you are better off pming me. I will say that nothing will probably work until unrevoked supports the new radio.
Edit: If the incredible works with a goldcard. Dump the misc partition and edit it for the firmware version you want to downgrade to. Then run a lower version ruu. When that is done run unrevoked. Of course I don't have a inc so I am not sure if that will work either. I also jumped a bit to conclusions so sorry for that. I also do not get your one post about the xtc clip here, yet in that other post say the clip doesn't support the inc.
thanks for your input,but rest assured we are in no way shape or form refering to anything to do with drellisdees's guide,your copy of it,or any other files,guides,etc. you have linked or posted on this site or yours.
he allready has root access and a recovery partition.
again,thanks for your input,but please stop confusing the issue with your references to merge guides.

My Incredible also is S-on with Verizon 2.3.4 OTA and never rooted. I'll give that "crude guide" a try tonight and report back how it went.
I'm just tired of all the low memory notifications and the constant force closes. Hopefully, I can have a custom mod installed tonight if things go well.
SUCCESS!!
Instructions from the website flawlessly for me.
I first rooted the phone. Then I tested it with some root only apps. They all worked. So ideally you can stop here if all you want is root but next OTA will take away root and then you'll be stuck again.
I completed all the steps and they worked. I was able to downgrade to 2.2 and then run unrevoke3 to root and also turn S-off. It did wipe the data clean. No files from my SDcard were deleted.
This is the time i've rooted my phone and the whole process took me an hour because I was being extra careful not to miss any steps. It all went smoothly.
glad it worked out for you. we finally worked out enuff bugs i put it up here as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306400
efizzle seems to have dropped off the face of the earth everyone who reads this should make sure to click the "thanks" button in his first post. we wouldnt have it if hadnt figured out the 3.22 secret.(we would still have zergRush,but not root with access and the ability to make nandroids and backups with tibu so easily).
once again,thanks efizzle
Worked like a champ. I did a recovery back to 2.3.4 and it worked as expected. Also brought back all my force close issues. So I used ROM Manager and installed Cyanogen7 and am loving it.
clicking the thanks button a few times for this help
Ok, I'm on Linux, Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04.3 to be exact, and I have adb installed. Where can I find the Linux version of unrevoked 3.22. I have found several places on the interwebz but I'm not sure if I trust those sources.
Help Please
Just like the op I have a Dinc that is on Gingerbread 2.3.4 and baseband 2.15.10.07.07 and desperate to have root. S-OFF would be nice, but root would be just fine for now.
More than happy to be the Guinea-pig on a Linux system.
sorry,i have no idea. i did a quick search and couldnt even find the windows version of 3.22 that i uploaded... i wanted to link it at its source,since it was emailed to me,but im not sure where he downloaded it from. you might follow the link in the first post credits to the original xda thread and ask on that thread,or send efizzle a private message and see if he can help you. in a worse case scenario,as long as you have 3.32 for linux,you could get temp root and downgrade with the "zergRush" method described in past #2. it doesnt require 3.22,but you wont be able to make a backup,or run titanium unless you can push SU,the binary,and busybox to their respective locations after acquiring a temp root.
