Sorry if re-post....trying to figure it out for a couple of days already but still no success
So I did the OTA update for Uncapped FPS. I know that it removes the "root" superuser access.
So after successfully installing the OTA update, I ran Unrevoked 3.21
While running Unrevoked I get the error Internal error: couldn't find misc.
NOTE: I searched and saw a couple of suggestions
1. Install HTC sync and uninstall it again. -Didn't work
2. Use Disk drive instead of Charge only. - Didn't work
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
The updates from Sprint are rooted by developers. You have to wait until they do it and NEVER update from Sprint.
Chances are the unrevoked team will update their files so you could root 3. 29. And the usually move quickly.

I just guinea pig volunteered myself to try Unrevoked with the new OTA, and it worked just fine for me!
However, I did have root prior, but I used the S-ON tool, and then ran the RUU to 3.26.651.6, I had wiped my entire phone coming from FreshEVO 3.3.0.1.
I also used AmonRA's 1.8 recovery instead of CWmod.
Your mileage may vary, I suppose.

Thanks....I'll keep that in mind from now on.
Hopefully they can get it out soon. I read in the Desire forum that they are having the same issue.

Mine was rooted before. I didn't install any custom ROMs. Then I ran the OTA. Now when I run Unrevoked, it gives me the "Internal error: couldn't find misc"
The weird thing is that I did it on 3 evos and the other 2 worked just fine.
Thread moved to Q&A.

have you solved? i have the same problem with a Desire
I am still getting:"Internal error: Could not find misc." on 3.21 . My HBOOT is .97. is that the issue?
no one has fingered this out yet?
just got my evo today, had 2.2 pre-installed.
i'm getting the same error.
uninstalled htc sync, tried it on 2 different computers, no go.
it usually gets to where (i assume) it's supposed to reboot into the new recovery and ends up booting all the way into sense. manually rebooting it after that and doing the hboot thing as it asks leads to the error mentioned here.
right now i'm trying it with a clean sd card, doesn't seem like it'd make a difference but it's worth a shot.

I'm having the same error as well. I was able to downgrade to 2.1, but still no unrevoked yet.... I just got my Evo 2 days ago.
Same error here as well. I have all the new drivers, installed/uninstalled HTC Sync, stock 2.2 on 4 day old Evo.

Same problem. Direct from sprint, came with 2.2. Followed the instructions, booted all the way through so i manually rebooted and did HBOOT and received "Internal Error: couldnt find misc."
Im not sure if its any different but my Evo happens to be white.. must be a new thing?
Anyone else have any ideas on this? Just received a new evo today, came with 2.2 on the phone which is nice, but can't root it. Was hoping to put cyanogen onto the phone.
I picked up a Desire from Telus yesterday and it (unrevoked) worked, however... I wanted to reflash the recovery image to amon ra (more features) and today I get the error "couldn't find misc".

I got it all figured out thank you for your help

So I just got my Incredible today. Unboxed it and am trying to root.
I've been following the steps to the T on here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_HTC_Incredible#Unrevoked_Method
But after pushing all the files it says to push and then doing the "chmod" stuff when I get to the step to do "/data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin" it just repeats the line then says "permission denied.
Then I just tried to continue and do the next step.
"chmod cd/data/local" then it just says "Bad mode"
I then still continue with the steps till I get to the last one
"./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin" and again it just says "permission denied"
So after all this not working I did a factory reformat of the phone and tried again. Still same out come on everything. Then I tried the unrEVOked method and I the HBOOT drivers but the program just says "Failed to flash recovery image"
I have successfully installed AndroidSDK and I know this because I upgraded from the HTC Eris and I've rooted that. I have all the correct drivers (I think at least that stupid VZW media thing may be interfering)
So I just don't know what to do now and I just want to have my phone rooted and get CM6 on it. Any hellp would be greatly appreciated thank you.

It sounds like your system has 2.2 preloaded on it. If that is the case, unrEVOked3 will not work. Also, since the phone is not S-OFF, the other steps you are attempting will not work. You will need to do one of two things.
1. Find unrEVOked 3.2 to root 2.2.
2. Revert the phone to 2.1 and set S-OFF and then root the phone.

Oh and I forgot yeah its on 2.2 because its brand new just got it today. And the steps I was following on the CyanogenMod wiki were to downgrade my phone to 2.1 but thats where I was running into the problems listed below. And you can' get unrEVOked 3.2 until they release it again.
Just grab the latest unrevoked build from their IRC channel. You should be able to find the link easily and it should work to root your stock 2.2

I got my DInc two days ago. It's rooted. Using unrevoked 3.2.... read their page a little closer. If you jump on their channel in IRC, you'll find a DL link at the top of the channel. Please read things a little more closely before creating unnecessary threads.

I'm trying to update to 2.2 so that I can root using unrevoked 3.21 method. The problem is when I go to menu> settings> system updates> HTC software updates> check now
It tells me there are no updates available. Is there another way to get the update. My firmware version is 2.1-update1
Thanks
Why don't you just use simpleroot or unrevoked 3 and root from 2.1?
I'm using linux so simple root is a PITA and unrevoked 3 doesn't unlock NAND.
unrevoked 3 doesn't unlock NAND.

But unrevoked forever does.
same
the same issues were happening to me where it was not finding an update to 2.2 (i'm currently on 2.1)... i kept rechecking all day today and EVENTUALLY it found it and downloaded - after about 50+ times telling me there are no updates. however it keeps getting hung during the install. ive wound up (rechecking for hours) downloading twice and installing 2 different downloaded instances of this update but it refuses to install.
i'm wondering if this is due to using unrevoked on ver 2.1? have you previously used unrevoked as well?

No unrevoked here. I tried doing toasts method, since I'm using linux, and I got hung up in the middle. I flashed the xxxximg.zip file but never got to root or nand unlock due to an inability to interpret the directions or find help doing it, apparently there aren't as many linux techies out there as I thought.
I'm thinking the screwed up root might have something to do with it. I called sprint and after 10 minutes on the phone with a tech he finally told me to go to menu>settings> systedm updates> htc software update...
after I told him that's what I've been doing and it didn't work, that's why I'm calling you! He said I should bring it into a sprint store after that.
Seriously man, make it easy. Use unrevoked 3 + forever and then load a custom Froyo ROM.

Where can I get unrevoked 3? When I go ther site only 3.21 is available. Says 3 but in fine print underneath it says version 3.21
I'm pretty sure the latest unrevoked works fine for 2.1 as well as 2.2.
I rooted my EVO last night and with my luck, the earpiece speaker blew today. I have to take it in for an exchange.
Here is my current situation:
I ran unrevoked-forever-son.zip so my phone is SON right now.
My current radio version is 2.15.00.09.01
My current image version is 3.29.651.5
I have hardware version 3
Android 2.2
Everything is completely functional other than the earpiece speaker.
Here is what I did:
Last night:
I used Unrevoked 3.21 to root it. It rooted fine. I installed WiFi Tether and tested it and it worked great. That is the only app I have installed since the root.
Today:
Speaker crapped out on me during the day.
I came home from work and followed the instructions here: www(dot)thedroiddemos(dot)com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=13&p=115#p115
The SON program ran fine. But when I tried to load the PC36IMG.zip file from the SD card, it responded with a "main is older" error and would not install it.
So then, I went here: forum(dot)xda-developers(dot)com/showthread.php?t=721843. It told me to go to shipped-roms.com to get files that would automatically unroot my phone.
I tried the earliest one and it got all the way to the end and gave me error 140: Bootloader version error. I got the same thing with the second and third oldest.
Both of the most recent files for the the "Waiting for bootloader" error and froze, giving me the dreaded 170 USB error.
I also tried letting it get to the HTC screen and then restarting the RUU program as directed in the XDA post mentioned above. It always led to the 170 error.
I am wits end. I have a 7 day old phone that I can't use until I somehow unroot it and exchange it.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Are you returning it to Sprint or directly to HTC? Chances are, if you just put a stock ROM on it & just use adb or Root Explorer to remove SuperUser.apk they're not even going to realize it's rooted.
Also, this really goes in Q&A, not Development.
Welcome to the forums!
I am returning it to Sprint. Sorry about putting this in the wrong place. I will move it over to Q&A immediately. I was trying to put a stock ROM on it with the above procedures. I just wasn't able to do it.
Thanks for the advice.
Go to this thread and run the RUU. You are unrooted and completely reset. Just make sure you use the S-ON tool from unrevoked.

No problem, hope it works out for you. Let us know how it goes
Cosine,
Do I want to run the S ON tool before or after I do the RUU? I am at S on status now.
Thanks for the help.
I will do that and thanks again.
I tried Cosine's RUU and I am still getting the 170 USB error when I run it. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Do you have HTC Sync installed? It looks like that error was coming up for users that didn't have the latest version / wasn't installed.
No, I uninstalled it to do the root. I am installing it again now. Thank you.
If you really want someone to cover everything good. I've got all night so just let me know. If not, good luck.

Well, I reinstalled HTC Sync and the ROM flashed just fine. This ROM reflashed everything. There is no evidence of root whatsover! I did have to set the entire phone back up, but that was well worth it! Thanks to Veritas06 and Cosine for helping me out.
So i have rooted and flashed roms on 4 evos and a hero without having a problem with using UNREVOKED3. Today i attempted to root my aunt's new Evo for her using UNREVOKED3 and i kept getting error messages that said either "internal error misc." Or "failed to flash recovery image". I tried to redownload the software and root the phone several times without any luck. O checked the supported radio versions and her version was supported by the software. I also notoced that when putting the phone into hboot it already had an option to select recovery. I selected recovery and i only got the screen woth a phone and an explanation point on it.
I also tried another method that i found where you put the PC36IMG on the root of the sd card and then let the phone boot into hboot. The phone is then supposed to recognize the image and load it. When it did this it came up with an error message thay said "loading failed image is older press volume up to reboot".
I know the phone is brand new. Its the one with a white back on it and she bought it from a sprint store. Does anyone have any suggestions to why this os occuring or another way to root the phone?
Thanks,
Jake

Hello,
I'm new to EVO 4G & rooting (have yet to do it successfully). I successfully root my Archos 70 using z4root (temporary) with each boot (firmware 2.0.54).
I'm wondering did you consider z4root? If so, why did you chose UNREVOKED3?
I've been looking for a thread on z4root and the EVO without success. Do you know of one?
I'd like to temporarilty root my EVO, but my frist attemp failed and finding the experiences of others is my next step.
Thanks for your time and help.
is your phone has hboot 2.02 or 2.10, which most likely is if you have a new evo, follow the thread below to root your evo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
Unrevoked does not work to root the new evos with hboot 2.02 or 2.10, you must use the above thread to root
FYI
I used the mentioned hboot hack and it worked like a charm.
Good luck
Has anyone been able to root the new Evo's I just got mine yesterday. I had a rooted hero before that. I used the unrevoked3 and it said finished...My phone boots and is not rooted though. My version is 3.30.651.3 and the HBoot is 2.02.0000. Radio 2.15.00.09.01....if anyone has had any luck, please direct me. I have been a looking around on a few threads for awhile now with no luck. thanks
Also, ran unrevoked3 on Windows 7 x64 and xp x86. Both said internal error: couldn't find misc. Anyone any idea what this error is for?
I'm Having the same problem and I'm to lazy to do it any other way.
I did this yesterday. You should try using the universal auto root from the xda evo forums. If you already tried unrevoked you will first have to RUU back to stock.
Answer
Ok, after spending two days on this issue, I finally was able to get rooted. I did not want to downgrade to root and unrevoked3 was giving me the error couldn't find misc., so I found this guide and it worked. Remember my hboot is 2.02.0000 and my version is 3.30.651.3 with radio 2.15.00.09.01
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
If you are using windows, just install the hboot drivers from the unrevoked site. I was using windows 7 unlimited 64 bit by the way.
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
Install the drivers first and then follow the link above step by step. Takes about 30 minutes total.

Thanks, I found a lot of people where getting the same error as me with unrevoked3, and they probably didn't want to downgrade and take chances. So According to the link I gave...
YOU CANNOT USE CLOCKWORK RECOVERY UNTIL KOUSH FIXES IT. PARTITION INFORMATION HAS CHANGED. YOU MUST USE THE RECOVERY THAT IS IN THE MAIN PACKAGE (AMON_RA) OR THE RECOVERY POSTED USING ANY OTHER VERSIONS OF AMON_RA WILL NOT WORK. THE ONE IN THIS THREAD IS CUSTOM CODED. FLASHING OTHER RECOVERIES LEAVE YOU WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO FLASH A ROM OR COST YOU 4G . USING ANOTHER RECOVERY COULD COST YOU YOUR 4G RSA KEYS AND BREAK 4G PERMANENTLY. THIS IS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT CODED FOR THE NEW PARTITIONS.
This has been the problem for some of the evo's out there. Hope this helps save some time.
Interesting, I didn't see the issue with loosing 4G service. I have noticed I'm not able to connect to 4G at the moment. Do you happen to have any links on the 4G issue?
Edit:
Never mind I can connect, i'm just in a weak signal area.
Unrevoked3 does not work for HBOOT 2.02/2.10 currently. The unrevoked dev team is working on it according to their Twitter page: http://twitter.com/unrevoked
