when flashing the build for cm7 could i do it using ClockWork Mod v2.5.1.2 or is there a special recovery i need to flash before trying to put cm7
reason i ask is because on the MT4G you need to flash recovery to v3.0.0.0+ before flashing cm7 build
if someone could please responf on this thread or pm me would be awesome!
Thank You
pretty sure you can just flash it the regular way.. wouldn't see why not as the gingerbread roms are flashed through the regular cwm also

well sounds like you already have the latest Clockwork installed? if so, I believe UnRevoked comes with a downgraded version so I would try and downgrade the version on your phone see if it helps
Well I'm able to go into recovery it's just when I try and use rom manager or titanium backup it comes up saying the phone doesn't have root privileges so I thought it wasnt rooted properly. If I'm rooted because I can go into recovery and it shows s= off in h boot then how do I fix the privileges part of it all?

This happened to me after I used unrevoked. It ran successfully, I tested w/ rom manager and it worked. I then rebooted a few minutes later and tried using several other root apps and none could obtain root privelages. So, I flashed a custom ROM (cyanogen 6.1) then had full root access again. Maybe that will help?

EDIT: still same issue, what do I do to fix?
Hello all,
I'm trying to assist my nephew in rooting his Evo and flashing GB to it but am running into issues as this is my first time rooting an Evo. I'm a thunderbolt user and have adb/rooting knowledge.
I used the autoroot.zip method to root and get access recovery just fine. The problem I'm running into is when I try and flash the MikG's GB rom (the radio flashes fine via hboot), I get an assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img","boot") (also tried re-downloading the rom as well thinking it was a corrupt download or the md5's didn't match). I tried flashing other roms but to no avail. My guess is the issues are lying in recovery, but can't be certain. At this point today, I'm going to try and unroot, and then re-root using unrevoked.
Another question is when I re-root, will i have to flash amon-ra's recovery via hboot as well? Any direction would be much appreciated as I'm stumped as far as the above error is concerned and haven't found any real definitive answers relating to the error. Thanks!!
here is the link i have for the AmanRA recover.. put it directly on your sd root.. and it should flash it self..

Thanks gonna give this a shot tonight, but hoping I don't receive that assert failed error message. I'm really hoping my problem lies me not using an updated recovery. My nephew is still rooted, so now I'm considering if I should unroot then start all over or just try an updated recovery option.
no you dont have to do it via hboot if you unroot then reroot with unrevoked you can get rom manager and flash a different recovery from there its super easy

Ok thanks for the reply, which recovery would work to flash MikG's GB rom? Amon_RA 2.3? I think I'm confusing myself more as the day moves along!
Yeah among RA works

Thanks man, I'll post back the results!
This phone was rooted already, then today I returned it to stock since the cyanogen7 that was on there did not... somehow... have the menu option to "update profile" I needed to change my phone number. I wanted to re-root, but I'm having trouble where to begin.
In the Power+Vol Down boot screen, it shows S-OFF, and HBOOT 2.10.0001
I cant make Revolutionary work because 2.15 is the lowest HBOOT it accepts.
If I choose the "recovery" option in that list, I get a black screen with a red triangle/exclamation point icon over an icon of the phone. I have to take the battery out to get the phone back on.
The phone does work, btw. But I miss the stuff I get when it's rooted. Anyway... what do I do now? How do I get the recovery/cyanogen7 on there if I cant get superuser permissions?
I used some other method back when I rooted this phone, but I haven't seen anything yet to spark my memory of the steps.
U are already s-off. No need for revolutionary. Go to dev thread and look for amon_ra recovery. Download it and follow directions to flash it. Then download whatever rom u want and flash that. The red triangle just means you have no recovery.
Support TrevE !!
I thought Revolutionary was how I got the custom recovery on the phone, which I need before I can root? I;d like to put CWM on there, since I have a paid version of Rom Manager already, and I believe they work together well.

If that's your hboot then you rooted with unrevoked and don't use rom manager and clockworkmod everyone here will tell you it leads to problems
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
So if my HBOOT is 2.10, it means I originally rooted with "unrevoked", and there may be problem with that and the Rom Manager/ CWD setup?

You did originally root with unrevoked. Sometimes it doesn't flash the recovery [known fact] in which you do as Paranoia said above, as to download, flash, and install a recovery.

All you need is to flash a custom recovery in the bootloader and you will be set and yes everyone will recommend amon RA (supersonic RA) over clockworkmod recovery

Okay, I did the Bootloader/PC36IMG.zip thing, and then I loaded the cyanogen7.1 zip and applied it. I got a load screen loop one time, but after taking out the battery and booting again, it loaded into cyanogen. I dont see the Market in the menu tho...
Rom Manager is installed though, but to do anything it wants to install CWM. So do I let it? I need the market, obviously. If Rom Manager is to be avoided, what replaces it? I liked how everything was in one place, with auto backup's and recovery of the phone, etc...

You just need to flash the latest gapps in recovery.
Okay, that's in process. But the question remains, should I uninstall Rom Manager or can I use it? If I shouldn't use it, is there anything that replaces it? How would I go about backing up my phone and data? I've paid for Titanium a while ago, so I know I can use that to backup app's, but what about the phone itself?

You'll have to uninstall rom manager as you need CWM recovery. To back up, simply backup all your apps and data in tb, boot into recovery, select nandroid restore/backup, selecet backup, and you NEED the first 3 checked [boot, system, data]. Also if its your first, backup wimax as well, then copy it to your pc for safe keeping, in case you ever lost your wimax keys.
Figured I would ask here instead of opening a new thread...I have an evo running hboot 2.10 and 3.30 software that I would like to root. I've used unrevoked back in the day but its been so long. So I was thinking about upgrading and using revolutionary. Is there really any difference that would want me to re learn unrevoked, or just upgrade the h boot and software and use revo? any insight would be appreciated

Just use unrevoked, download and install the hboot drivers from the site, connect the phone via usb, charge only, usb debugging enabled, run the software.

There is no reason to "upgrade" to revolutionary. Unrevoked is the same thing as revo. Just unrevoked doesnt work with the newer hboots. If your already s-off in bootloader there is no difference. U can use any rom regardless if u used revo or unrevoked. The whole object of rooting is to get s-off. Once you have it there is nothing more you can do. Ive used both on unrevoked on my original evo. And revo on my newer refurb. There basically the same. Easy auto root pretty much.

Hey Guys should be a easy answer.
Rooted numerous phones (4 4g's and 1 3D) first time having a problem. So understand most of the stuff.
I was using revolutionary root method and for a 4g HBoot 2.16; and for some reason it didn't load the Kernel.
What is the best kernel to use or what kernel does revolutionary use?
Thanks ahead of time.

revolutionary is a program that achieves NAND unlock for phones(s-off). It shouldnt load a custom kernel on your device. Also a kernel is like a girlfriend you have to find whats best for you

Once you get rooted, then you need to install a recovery. From recovery you can flash roms and kernels.

Go to androidsu.com and and click on superuser and download su-bin for gingerbread and flash it in recovery. That should solve rom manager not detecting root. And for a kernel I recommend using lionfish kernel

i got those messages too when i first rooted. I also used revolution to root and also had hboot 2.16. this problem was solved once i installed a custom rom. I even had SU installed but it kept saying i didnt have root access. if you flash a rom you should be fine.

Hi there,
I cant flash anything now, it says in recovery "cant get prop device name" "endeavoru".
I now use coredroid 3.6 with r12 of franco.
Clockworkmod is 5.8.2.4.
I tried to update it to 5.8.4.0 trough rom manager and cwm.
Can someone help me out. Maybe have to delete everything>?
Thank you very much...:highfive:
Did you accidentally apply any new updates, e.g., OTA, voice mail, etc.? If so, you might need to get S-OFF, HTC Dev Unlock, r00ted, flash your recovery and ROM all over again.
Check out The Google Play Store for r00t checker apps, or just launch an app like Titanium Backup, to see if you get errors when the app asks for r00t permissions.
HTH!

Hi Mike,
I have already flashed the rom. It's only able to flash coredroid rom. It could be because of a security setting of avast antivirus. I dunno?
Cant flash anything else..
