Rooting help

OK so my evo has the 2.10 bootloader and software version 3.70. 651.1. I tried using the Z4root method to temporarily root then flash Unrevoked Forever but hit a snag. Though the temp root works and I flashed clockworkmod and Ra recoveries, when I try to boot into recovery to flash Unrevoked Forever I just get the phone with the red triangle and exclamation mark. I'm assuming this has to do with having the newest bootloader from the latest ota but any guidance would be appreciated.

dont use z4root for the 2.10 bootloader...not a fool proof method of rooting...you need to return your evo back to stock by downloading a ruu from this site and plugging your evo into the computer and boot into boot loader and run whtat you downloaded on your desktop ....http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic
once you have the evo returned to stock, use this root method to root hboot 2.10
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
this by far is the best method to root hboot 2.10

What is the point of running the Ruu? Would running an older ruu change the hboot back or leave it as-is?

Running the ruu that came with your phone will return your phone back to stock out of the box so you have a clean slate to use the root guide I gave you a link to...the root guide I gave u is the only reliable method for hboot 2.10
The reason you are having problems rooting with unrevoked is because unrevoked does not work with hboot 2.02 or 2.10

I was rooted on 3.29 and unrooted so I could install the OTA 3.70. Unfortunately, hboot still shows S-OFF, so now I can't root or unroot. Will flashing the stock 3.70 RUU flip S-OFF back to S-ON so I can root again?

In order for you to switch between s on and s off google search unrevoked forever and use their tool to toggle s on and s off

I had 2.02 hboot then I rooted and then derooted bc of issues. I noticed my hboot changed to 2.10. I followed the savior method and use z4root and all is well. I had zero issues.

I tried unrevoked-forever-son.zip, but it looks like it runs from recovery, which I can't get into. When I try, I get the red exclamation point and can only get out with the volume up and power buttons.

[Q] EVO 4G: Need to install stock Bootloader

Hello XDA,
I have been trying to unroot my phone, but have been running into a problem. I was able to restore my backup of the official Sprint ROM I took after using to Revolutionary tool. But I cannot figure out how to install a stock bootloader.
I tried using the files at; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=801568 but when I load up the gootloader and press volume up to have it install the bootloader, it says "[1] Bootloader - bypassed" and asks me if I would like to restart.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My phones info;
HBOOT 6.16.1002
Radio 1.36.00.04.02
Security S-OFF
Android 2.3.3
Baseband 1.36.00.04.02
Kernel 2.6.35.10-gc0a661b

To the best of my knowledge it can't be unrooted yet.

According to this site, all hboot versions after 0.97 are not downgradeable, however, since you have the 'international' hboot version, I'm not sure if it applies, but I am 'assuming' it does.

Can't get S-OFF via Revolutionary

I'm currently S-ON with hboot 2.10.0001.
When I try to use Revolutionary to get s-off it tells me that I don't have the right Hboot version.
So I checked the wiki for the tool and it says I need 2.16.0001 or 2.15.0001.
I tried flashing 2.16.0001 in recovery and it appears to work but at the top of my bootloader it still says 2.10.0001?
I'm not sure what the issue is.
P.S. ive been running miui for a while and do have some root just not unlocked nand i guess.

have you tried unrevoked also you cant flash roms without being nand unlocked (s-off)

UPDATE: Never mind. Unrevoked forever got me S-OFF
I can certainly flash roms and access recovery. No problems there.
I definitely have root (titanium backup works and I can issue superuser commands in terminal)
Is it possible that the bootloader is wrong?
BTW I cant flash different recoveries, it goes through but when I check I still have the same recovery (Amon RA).
I used a very old method of rooting (prior to GB). Everything has been cool but I did revert to stock everything briefly about 7 months ago.
When I took my phone in cause of a burnt out battery.
Can I use unrevoked even though I'm already rooted?
Don't want to mess anything up since everything is working except small things like adaway (requires s-off and won't work unless i use ADB from recovery).

[Q] How to UNROOT EVO 4G UNREVOKED without usb??

I used revoked3 to root my evo
hboot 0.97.0000
radio 2.15.00.09.01
build# 3.29.651.5
Used metrodroid rom
I have turned the S 0n back on and cant get passed the bootloader finding the "correct" PC36IMG.zip file. it doesnt find it and says wrong image. HELP

What image are you trying to flash? You will need the actual s-on tool from unrEVOked site, just using recovery to toggle doesn't really do it. Then you will have to flash a stock non rooted ROM. Then run HTC software update. RUU is much easier, why no USB?

[Q] S-Off Tool

Just wondering if there was a Simple S-Off Tool? I had to upgrade my HBOOT for 0.76 to 0.97 to install the Anthrax Kernel. It appears that I lost S-Off in the process, however, I am still able to Reboot from the ROM to recovery and I was also still able to Flash a new Radio via Recovery with the new HBOOT. So do I need to have S-Off if I only flash Signed Zip's?

Have you tried flashing unrevoked forever through recovery? You may need to downgrade your radio for it to work, but it's worth a shot.

Unrevoked-forever will work for all radios not above 2.15.00.11.19, and should work with Hboot 0.97.

How do I downgrade my Radio. I went to Caulks thread but it says I must be S-OFF to flash via recovery for the Radio. I tried it anyway it seemed to worked correctly but when I booted up the Phone and checked it was still the Latest Radio that I Updated.

I had to do ALL this...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20960412&postcount=380

Revolutionary is the only way to root the new hboot. Just do it, I just did it on my replacement from Asurion, and it only took about 5 minutes, very easy.

He isn't on the latest hboot so he has to downgrade to froyo with a pc36img that has the old radio included. Then he has to go to unrevoked.com and do the unrevoked3 to root over.
