Ok guys just got my new evo my old one was messed up it came with the OTA
1.32.651.6
Which root do I use?
I searched the xda forum and found *patches* but no root guides.
So should I just update to latest and root or?
Thanks sorry still learning trying to catch on fast.
I used toast's method. Works great if you can read and follow directions
this one?
tutorial-idiot-proof-root-guide
I can read and follow directions I am trying that one right now but it is asking for a update while doing it and the directions say it will ask to flash not update...
am i missing something?
nevermind im dumb I figured it out
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/19278-how-unroot-return-stock.html
I was running unrEVOked 3 and attempted to do the new OTA update for 2.2. When that failed I came to the conclusion that I had to regain stock in order to apply the OTA. This is the best tutorial I could find. Worked like a charm for me. Hope it helps some of you guys!
thanks for sharing, i have tried a few with no luck but will give this a shot.
Anyone that is having problems getting the PTA update for Froyo should definitely try this method. It confirmed to work as far as I'm concerned. I chose the most recent RUU and made sure I used the HTC link that was provided. If you follow the instructions exactly you should not have a problem.
I tried this and it didn't work for me when I was on 1.47. So I just updated to the 3.26 2.2 Rooted roms. I'm waiting for a downgrade option. I set a NAND backup back in 1.32.
Hello all you wonderful guys and girls,
I am a noob and have taken the plunge to root access. Sorry if this is a dumb question.
I have run visionary and temp root worked fine. I then performed perm root and all seemed well. Once rebooted superuser is not functional and returns a FC whenever any apps attempt to use it. Attempting to confirm su access in terminal emulator produces FC. Many apps including gmail also FC. In addition some apps completely disappeared eg ES File Manager/angry birds
I haven't been game to try anything else as I can't find this behaviour described anywhere else. The phone is still functional and it was always my intention to continue to flash to android revolution or similar.
Am I worried over nothing and should proceed with radio s-off? Or am I asking for more trouble by going further?
Desire HD
Stock ROM
Kernel version 2.6.32.21-g66cfb7a/htc-kernel(at)and18-2 #1
Build number 1.32.861.5 CL277010 release-keys
Software No. 1.32.861.5
Thanks in advance,

Please help guys, I'm starting to worry a bit.
Have you tried to install su from market, does that work?
cheers
Ilan
Thanks for the reply marleyb,
There was some weird stuff going on, even the market crashed eventually.
Jkoljo suggested some thing obvious and simple and perform a factory reset. This has fixed the issue and on second attempt, visionary+ has worked and I have permroot! The first go around, visionary must have broken something in my system partition.
Cheers for your input,
Dave
hi Indro9,
I have a Desire HD on the Three network with the same firmware number as you 1.32.861.5
I'm a total noob to the whole ROM/Rooting scene as well and want to root my phone.
I've read many guides saying that if you're running firmware 1.72/1.75 you need to downgrade to 1.32.405.6 or lower but no mention is made anywhere of what you need to do if your running our firmware 1.32.861.5.
Did you downgrade your firwmare before you rooted your phone or was it ok to proceed with your firmware version?
Also which guide did u follow and do you have any words of advice seeing as we have the exact same phones? You help would be greatly appreciated mate.
Thanks

If you are on 1.32 you can straight run Visionary, temproot first, then permroot, then http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855403 great tools by jkoljo, make sure you buy him a beer,

Hey vinpor,
As Marleyb says, visionary+ worked fine with that firmware version.
The guides I followed are as above plus also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=964996 although without the eng s-off and radio flash.
As far as which ROM to use, Android revolution 4.0 beta 4 is what I have now and am very happy so far. I've already tried a few others and disappointingly cyanogenmod 7 breaks when I activate the wireless although its an experimental. Cyanogenmod 6 worked though was based on 2.2 so I was itching to try a newer ROM.
All in all the process was easy and the support here on xda was great. I got a bit nervous early on (rooting) but the flashing was simple and just as described.
Please give to the people who have worked this out for us and let me know if I can help any further.
Dave
Also, I just want to add that jkoljo's radio s-off program worked just fine on my mac using xp via parallels. Thanks again to jkoljo.
Dave
Thanks for the help guys. Just thought I should let you guys know the rooting process went well & I managed to get radio s-off as well as eng s-off. So far I've tried revolution hd & leedroid both seem much smoother than my stock Rom.

Hey all,
Just want to know if someone can point me in the right direction.
I am following this guide guide but when it comes round to using the Visionary app it freezes and wont do anything.
I have tried temp rooting from boot and also with the phone fully running but still nothing.
I have not updated it, it is showing as ver. 2.2 despite the notice that the update is available to download.
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hi
Have you downgraded the ROM? Visionary only works on build 1.32 Froyo. If you are already on 1.32 then a factory reset normally fixes most Visionary problems.
I take it you mean the ROM that comes with the phone? The android version I have showing is ver. 2.2.1.
If I need to downgrade to ver. 1.32 how would be the best way to go about it?
Sorry of these are noob questions, I have searched all over trying to get the right answer.
Thanks
Have a look here DownGrade and then here Rooting Etc
or
have a look at the Advanced Ace Hack Kit HERE
The advanced ace hack kit has been getting some good reviews in the forums.
Thanks both, I will have a go and see what happens.
So I just got a Droid Incredible and I am trying to root and install the cyanogen mod on it. I tried rooting with unrevoked 3 but it said the firmwas too new. I looked at other ways to root with the newest build 6.08.605.19 710RD but there are none. There were some that talked about going from 2.3.4 to 2.2 and then rooting but that seems very involved and it doesn't work a lot. Is there anything else out there that I am missing? Could I use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141642 in the way I want to?
