Hi everyone
After I installed Rc3 I decide to try another rom and try to used it via rom manager, when the rom manager try to recovery stuck n the green htc logo. I have to take off that battery and turn on n the regular way.
then I tried to unroot my g2 but, didnt notice that i had to install the preota file via rom manager and just boot the pc1mg and the s is on, after that i reboot my phone and turn on n cyanogen r3 and is rooted.
the problem is that my g2 is working like rooted, but cant change the rom...
theres another way to unroot and start over?
thanks for your help and sorry my English...
Which recovery are you using?
Im using Rom Manager...
but i tried volume buttom down and power and nothing...
can anyone help? anyone know how to fix this? cant reset my phone or cant install another rom
What does it say in the bootloader, I presume you are S-ON ?

I was S-off, I installed rc3, when I saw the rc4 I download it via rom manager, when I click to install i click wipe data and ask for recovery i click yes, then stuck n the white and green letters, the funny thing is that my phone is S-on now..
But all my root applications works... is so confusing!

S-OFF hasn't got anything to do with root, other than you need root to get to S-OFF. So your phone has gone back to S-ON but is still rooted, that's why you can't flash any custom ROMs.
How did you get to S-OFF, was that the "old" method of dd'ing the eng hboot ? Or did you use the new gfree method ?
I did the old method, using terminal... do I have to do that again? because im still have cyanogen rc3 up.
There's a new method to do it now, using a program called "gfree". See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=855764 for the details.
But you're saying you can't boot the phone right now ?

The method of rooting hasn't changed (either Visionary or rage). But there's a new way to get S-OFF, which also gets you other things too (like SIM unlock). The new way (gfree) of getting S-OFF is a lot safer than the old method (less chance of bricking if you flash the wrong ROM, and easier to recover from semi-bricks), so I strongly recommend you go that way.
hi guys,

So how far did Unrevoked get? You said it shows S Off in your bootloader? When I used unrevoked on my girl's phone, I got that error saying incompatible radio version, but everything else in the program ran fine, and it still said it was a triumph. It still installed clockwork recovery, and it was funtioning. So I flashed Unrevoked S Off tool, and all was fine. I then flashed Amon Ra recovery, and there have been 0 issues with her phone so far. I've flashed a couple different roms for her without issue. So did you experience something similar? Did Unrevoked install Clockwork recovery for you? What happens when you select recovery from the bootloader? And is your hboot indeed S off?
EDIT: If you do indeed want to update your radios, here is the link to calkulins radio page : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
You do need to have S off to flash a radio, and you would need a custom recovery. So if you have those two things, then you can flash your radios. You flash them like a ROM, from recovery. You will see a few different/unusual screens while they are flashing, don't freak out. It takes a while for them to flash sometimes too, so be patient while they are flashing, and dont pull the battery, that's how a brick is made. And be sure to have a substantial amount of battery prior. PM me if you have further questions.
There is a link in my thread that should help get you going. If you have S-OFF it is simple to flash a rooted ROM
If your phone shows s off then its rooted

When i do the Recovery, i get a black screen with the phone in the middle and a red Triangle Exclamation thing.. and it just stays there till i pull the battery.
Are you sure you have the latest Unrevoked 3.32? Make sure you download from here Unrevoked 3.32 I used that to root my Evo and I have the same radio as you and it worked flawlessly. What OS are you using Win7? Mac? XP? Vista? Unrevoked 3.32 should work. If you can't get it to work try this: Root the Evo. If you follow that guide you will have full root. I have used it several times and it has never failed me. Good luck my friend.
You don't have a custom recovery yet. When you boot into bootloader(press volume down and power) what is at the top of the screen?
Sorry I do not have the same radio as you. Mine is different so use the second link in my post to root your phone. It takes longer but is a sure fire way to get it rooted and get you to flashing custom Rom's. Plus it comes with AmonRA 2.2.1 recovery which is better than Clockwork in my opinion.

i just need to know how to update the radio, i have put the updated radio zip folder on the root of the card, but thats it, how do i flash it w/o already having root?
Long story short, my microphone broke on my old EVO, so I unrooted to take it back. I got a new one and tried to root it again used UnrEVOked3 again and it not work. Recovery does not work, there is no superuser options. On the hboot menu it does say S-OFF. I have tried to reuse the UnrEVOked3 and it will not recognize my device. I am just looking for some form of help so that I can get my phone rooted so I can get CM7.
Thanks
have you tried to dl superuser (the one from Chains) from the market?
Just did, still will not let me use root apps or anything, only difference is now I have the app.
Did you reboot?
Use this thread as a reference to completely unroot your phone, then retry unrEVOked...

Well, since you show S off, I'd just flash a PC36IMG of Amon Ra recovery, and then flash a new rom. I've seen people report of Unrevoked having a difficult time for whatever reason. I've never had a hiccup with it, but taht doesn't matter. Perhaps there was something on your computer causing you issues, such as HTC sync, PDAnet, an anti virus program, etc. Anyways, download this PC36IMG, put it on the root of your SD card. Shut your phone off, then boot to the bootloader. It'll ask you to update, and select vol up to say yes. Once it's done, you can boot into recovery and flash away. That should all work just fine, because you're S off already.
Try what he ^^^ said first...if that still fails, try what I said lol
what h-boot do u have and were u runing 3.70 when u did unrevoked 3 cause it should not work at all u need tun another method to root

Not sure what you're talking about. I think your info is outdated. Unrevoked works with all hardware and software versions for the Evo (3.70) included. I've used it more than a few times. Unrevoked was updated months ago, like right after Christmas.

do you have something like wheres my droid on your phone, try uninstalling it, if you have qik uninstall updates, my first evo wouldnt root because of them
Reboot your phone, that way when it starts, nothing is running. Then run unrevoked after going through my instructions.
Make sure you download the newest version of unrevoked, I think its up to 3.2 or 3.3 now. Unrevoked 3 is out of date.

Never had that problem only thing I can think of that would of cause that would be whoever had that phone be4 you installed a hboot that wasn't rootable. Refurbs are always someone elses problem that ends up in your lap.
I got mine through them the first one was junk had lines down the screen when you turned it on then called em and they sent a brand new one next day. No problem rooting it.

I don't know which version of unrevoked you're using, but make sure you're using the newest one as somebody else mentioned. If you're using the version that you used to root previously, uninstall it & install the newest version. If that doesn't work, there are other methods to root.

either way, i just want to put in a good word for an alternative to unrevoked: i had a *very* good experience with this universal auto root procedure by xhausx
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
his procedure is pretty thorough and has specific instructions for various HW versions and HBOOT versions. it seems to me if you followed it to the letter you would very likely have success.
good luck!

yeah they sent me a BRAND NEW EVO!!...i called last night about 9:00pm and got my new phone today about 12:30pm...so it worked perfectly...now im debating if i wanna root it lol its always something with me
I was Flashing the OTA 2.2 Froyo Leak a while ago and it just didnt finish for some reason. Now when I try to turn it on it Vibrates 5 times and has a green blinking light.
Also it is S-ON now for some reason as well.
I have looked everywhere and cannot find a solotion.
Any help is appreciated.
Edit* I have tried flashing other roms and still nothing, (I can access HBOOT but not Recovery) and I cannot flash recovery either. Everything but Hboot is gone. And i tried flashin Ruu and it says main system too old.
5 Vibrates is usually some kind of hardware issue, where-as 3 vibrates is usually a software issue.
BTW, if you're S-On, how are you going to flash any recovery or ROMs? You need to be S-Off before you can flash anything.

How can I get S-OFF then? I can access Recovery but it doesnt do me any good it wont read my sd card.
I have no idea what I did, but it rebooted itself and its working
this is EXTREMELY weird. I had the phone plugged in because I wanted to root, but i was first getting the SD Card files off and when I unplugged the phone the same thing happened already....
So then I plugged the phone on again, went into HBOOT and ran the image until it told me it cant be read, and rebooted and back to normal....
Any idea what happened? I just wanna get opinions out of curiosity.

He said he was trying to flash recovery and other ROMs to try and get it to work though too... You can't flash custom recovery without being S-Off.
If you want to flash back the RUU, and go back to complete unrooted stock... then yeah, you want S-On.

Untrue, you can flash ROMs without being S-OFF. I was rooted and flashing ROMs before unrevoked released "forever."

So were the images previous to Unrevoked's S-Off patch just signed properly? I didn't get a DINC and root it until after Unrevoked had released their patch.

Like I said previously, 5 vibrates is usually a hardware issue, meaning you're most likely going to have to send it in for replacement. There's been a few people to recover from a 5-vibrate brick, but they had gotten lucky. You can search the forums and try to find how they fixed it (can't remember the thread off hand, just do a search for 5 vibrates and you'll get lots of results).
