Rooting from FROYO

Hello all,
First, I would like to thank everyone for all that they have done on this forum.
I currently Run DamageControl 3.5 and and stock Eclair with Root as well. I love them both.
However, my friend just got an Evo and he did the OTA update to FROYO right away. The only problem is, I am not sure how to root him, or where to send him. I have looked around and can not really find any information. My assumption is that getting him back to eclair is the fastest way. I am not sure.
Any thoughts?

It's not possible .. yet.
Please read the Q&A section, there's a sticky.

Thanks to both of you!

You can downgrade, using one of the previous builds.. try a search, I used simple root for one of my phones, then upgraded to 2.2 froyo with netarchy's newest build.

Huh? I don't think that's correct information

from the very useful information i have ben reading on this forums, once u got froyo, you are stuck, theres no going back to previous versions or rooting untill further notice. i may be incorrect, but thats my understanding.

Once you install OTA Froyo, YOU ARE STUCK WITHOUT ROOT for now. Sit back wand wait, there is currently no way to root it.
Also, this belongs in Q&A forum, not dev.

Make it two thousand and i'm in. I have tried forty different combos from trying to change the some codes without breaking the signature to going old school running loop.bat then trying to push the update.zip or Image right after it has verified the signature( This method is dangerous but Dev's know what i am talking about). My head just popped.

[Q] HTC Sense 3.0 for my HT Desire HD?? Please help!!

Hello everyone!!
I have the following question, I hope someone can help? I am using an HTC DHD amd would like to have the new sense 3 fully working on it. So I found this article that describes a rom for tbe inspire 4g and figured that the inspire and dhd are actually the same, the rom can work, right??! But, then I found this interesting fact, that rooting is impossible for desire hd that runs on an official 2.3.3. Is this true? Please help, I am ver new to all of this, but very want to learn!!
Thanks in advance
Danny

You don't want Sense 3. It's even more bloated and laggy than its predecessor.

Are you crazy? it's already ported to dhd.it's fully working.and it's rootable.from where the hell you collect this info.check dhd thread.

flash a sense 3.0 rom like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115312

His question was also if he could root 2.3.3.
It depends in your baseband. 1.72 etc. Go to setting and about (info) to find it. I think I saw a thread in dev section to now root 2.36. But I could be wrong. Check through the development forum.

Cool! so just an extra info for ya. Almost 2 weeks back there was no such thread to root any DHD above than 2.37 software number. the OP of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152233
He figured it out not only 2.37 can be rooted but also with any other different software numbers. If you ever feel like rooting your phone and enjoy some custom ROMs. Follow the link.

Well if they say, you can't then you probably can't this time. Also in other threads were updates - people are working on it. It will be on the forums, when root is available.

thanks alot

You have to wait either for HTC to release their boot unlocker or someone else who manage to root it. It's a race. Wonder who will faster.

aren't there rooted stock GB roms in development section? maybe you should ask developers how did they do it?

Here's an idea, search before making a new thread. Its right there in the rules of these fora. There are multiple threads about this subject already. If you can type then you can read, right?

You do read that its not about rooting an ordenary gingerbread device, right?
After HTC released the official upgrade to 2.3.3 alot of eager smartphone users have left their cooked 2.3.x rooted devices stranded on the upgraded 2.3.3.
As did I. Now I am too looking for a solution to get back to the much better 2.3.x rooted version gingerbread that I had before.
I understand threadstarters frustration. Maybe so should you instead of flaming?
Have a nice day...
EDIT: just found the other thread about downgrading to bootloader 0.93. But still think a decent reply to a kind would be nice, eventhough there are other threads about same topic.

Yes and as we all said there are already multiple threads about this exact subject. I understand that the thread starter is frustrated but there are others with the same problem already. Thats why you're meant to search before posting new threads, because there are already threads covering this topic.

You need this tool from revolutionary.io (sorry I cant post links yet)
It was quite easy (after finding a guide on google).
I needed to root so I could updated the radio and have 2 way call recording, it's working perfectly. Well happy

Best rooting method?

I've always rooted my HTC, recently my Ev3D. I found from past experience that certain rooting methods is not too friendly with ease of flashing roms...
Question: I'm not in a rush to root so, should I wait until sprint/samsung release the no signal bug update or is there a safe and stable root method available now?
How many root methods are available now and which is best route?

First, I apologize for posting in the wrong dev section (lesson learned - from Jarred)
Second, I read and read and googled and read androidfurums and xda forums and found too many solutions. Info is too scattered and every root method thread have their own following with praises.
I simply wanted few members to maybe give me names of root method and I was going to read and read and read some more and then make an EDUCATED decision. Since you rather "proudly" rant and make new members feel welcome by claiming an asshole title... I THANK YOU.
So remember, 1 of the thanks on your thank meter will always be there from me ... thanks for being an asshole, have a wonderful day lol

There currently is no "superior root method." At the end of the day if you are rooted it doesn't really matter how you went about it.
There is a small amount of controversy currently about the rooted-kernels breaking something and causing a LOS (loss of service), but we have no proof that the rooted kernels are or aren't causing the problem. (I, personally, think it has nothing to do with the kernel as I got a few LOS bone stock. YMMV)
Now, you can wait for someone to find an exploit in the stock kernel if that makes you more comfortable be my guest...you might be waiting a while, maybe forever as there is no need.
So, no matter what "method" you use they all have the same goal in mind, get SU into /system/apps...the current "stock rooted" method involves flashing a rooted kernel, flashing a root.zip (to install SU) and then flashing the stock kernel back. Now you have Super User installed *and* the stock kernel. Poof, you are rooted, you are stock, everyone wins...right?

[Q] noob with questions n yes ive searched and read.....

ok ok yeah i am a noob to this htc evo rooting and things im sorry honestly it is the reason i got the phone so i could root it.... but i have had this phone now since august doing excatly what you stated i should do right at signing up for this site.... read search read more and more and more and keep searching... so now after months and hours of this i believe im atleast ready to root.. i have sprint replacing my htc evo with a brand new one due to arrive any day and im planning to root right out of box... im using rooting method i found here ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865204 .... ive downloaded all the files and programs as instructed even copied the thread as so i can read each step agian as preforming it... SORRY A BIT LONG WINDED ... my question is this i want wifi tethering basicly i got the wifi tethering download from ... http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Evo ... is this all i need to open my wifi hotspot free???? and also since ive done all this reading and digging i found alot of info confusing and or unorginized sorry just hard to search and find things is all but i am also looking for a wolf theme set and a mod also but finding most themes in title only no pics and mods with no discriptions ... basicly is there one member with whom i my chat with to help with these issues and point the right way or place to find what im looking for???

sorry one more thing im also going to be activating my second line on my sprint account and getting another phone one with a full slide out keyboard and will need to do this with that phone as well .... what phone would be the easiest and best to do so with....

Yes, if you use the wireless / wifi tether app, you're set for tethering.
Also, if you want a theme made, go ask in the themes/apps section, they'll help you out there. I know billbowers does themes for a fact.
Also your root method will depend on the hboot, so check it before you root it, and do NOT any OTAs before you root.
Also, you'll have to do the appropriate root method for the extra phone.

Theres a few roms out there that has all that integrated into the rom and theres themes made already for those roms,heres a few threads that have what you want...

There's only 2 phones with slide-out qwerty keyboards at this time, running Android. The HTC Shift and the Samsung Epic. Shift you would be pseudo familiar with, being from the HTC lineup. Epic on the other hand may be a little different than what you have read so far, especially if the phone is running Gingerbread. Good luck.

thanks for the info and will follow up on the leads you have given very helpful thank you

Sounds like a dirty flash. Did you start a fresh install, wipe everything, prior to installing the new one? If you just flashed over the other build, merging/meshing may occur, but at least it was usable.?
