I successfully (after 3 hours) rooted and upgraded my wife's Samsung Moment to froyo 2.2. and removed a bunch of stuff that'll never get used off her new rom and everything is 100% working!
SD ca
So now that my confidence level is a bit higher now.. I wanted to start on my Evo, it's already been rooted with UnrEVOked and that was a huge step for me!
I rely heavily on my Evo daily and can't afford to brick it, nor can I afford to buy another, so I'm very cautiuos..
Well I decided to upgrade my radio version. It's a very old revision, 1 notch above the original.
I'm still on Android 2.1.
OK... I get the radio upgrade, put it into the root of the SDCard, go into recovery, got everything ready to go.. pushed the button, and I get the error message that the .zip file wasn't compatible with clockworld mod.
and that the .zip file is only good good for android 1.5.
So I need to know where I can get the updated radio version for the clockworld mod???
Am I making any sense?
Thank You for any advice!

I'm not familiar with clockwork mod recovery (it's clockwork), because I use Amon Ra recovery. However, I know there are a few different clockwork mod versions. I'm not sure if they are all compatible with 2.1 or not, but you could try updating your recovery, using ROM manager. Is there a reason you haven't upgraded to Froyo? You should update, unless there's a specific reason you've stayed with 2.1. If I were in your situation, this is what I'd do. Create a nandroid backup. Backup your important stuff. Completely wipe the phone, using your recovery. Flash the most recent radios, from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485 Flash a 2.2 ROM, update your recovery (if you didn't already) Thats just me though.
I'm still looking at the rom lists to see whats on each. I was looking at kings 2.3 but it has no 4g.. i live in a 4g area n want that feature available.. but there's so much to readthru i'm thinking to much into it and confusing myself..

UGH???
there is no telus one??
Dont suppose you performed a Nandroid backup that you can use to restore the original rom image using some recovery?
If not, check this thread:

See post #19 (another member packed a nandroid backup of the stock Telus rom) especially and posts on the next few pages of this thread for a link to the original Telus stock radio image for 2.1.

There are a few nandroid backups of telus floating around but they do not include the radio. The current 2.2 radio's floating around do not work with 2.1 but should be able to find something that does work.
When you find a backup of the original telus rom you will need to copy it to your sd card to the location where they are stored... off hand I belive it is..
clockworkmod/backup/ date and time stamp of the backup
When you get the file there you boot into recovery, move down to android and select restore and pick the date of the one you want to restore.
Honestly if you want a sence UI there are many 2.2 htc sence roms on here which are much better then 2.1.
Are you only missing the sence widgets etc? Or do you need it back to original to return it etc?
Thanks i found a nandroid back up on another thread, as well as a radio. If you could find me a 2.2 sense rom, and radio, and tell me exactly how to install from a mac that would be great, cuz im super afraid of bricking my phone, and i dont really need CM6. THanks in advance

If you are running cm6 you are already rooted with recovery. All that is required to install any of those roms is to download them to your sd card, reboot into recovery, run a wipe system then install zip from sd card, boot and your good to go.
Note: Some of them may require a ext partition on the sd card which I would assume you don't have since cm6 does not need/use it nor did the 2.1 that came with it.
MacLite and the Official 2.2 rooted would not need any changes, just the download.
You should not need a goldcard for anything.
How do i install new radio??????
If you are running CM6 it already uses a froyo radio, you don't need to change it unless you are having issues etc. You do it the same way, download it to the sd card, boot into recovery and say install zip from sd card etc. Same way you would a rom.
Also, when i reboot how long do i wait at the android with the box, before yanking battery

Android with the box? Preferably never, only time its really safe to do so is when its the HTC Logo that never goes away.
so your saying when the android bot with the box comes up just wait it out, and it should reboot into 2.2 sense?

Ok. I just got my EVO Tuesday and while I cannot confirm for sure that i had 3.30 to begin with I am pretty sure I did.
Not knowing that the guide i was following to root the device was for an older version I attempted to root, and bricked the phone. I managed to restore the phone using "RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.29.651.5_Radio_2.15.00.09.01_NV_1.77_CNV_release_150224_signed.exe" and I was back to normal....or so i thought
Now the camera/camcorder does not work. I am assuming that my phone was 3.30 and the 3.29.651 I am on now doesnt speak to the camera the same way. It was rumored the 3.30 builds had camera fixes so this makes sense.
Here are my actual questions, with number 1 being the biggest and most important to me at the moment:
1. How do i get back to the 3.30 version the phone came with? IS there a RUU similar to what i used for 3.29 to restore the phone? Where can i get this?
2. If i cant get back to 3.30, is there any way to fix the camera?
3. How can I successfully root 3.29.651? Ive tried every guide i have found here, unrevoked 3, and the one touch rooter programs, but none seem to work. They all fail applying the radio image with FAIL-PU
I appreciate any support and thanks in advance to everyone who can help

I just replaced my busted EVO for a new one. Has the new 3.30 in it, hardware is 003. After rooting I lost camera/video due to the PC36IMG I had used while rooting. I installed Myns Warm 2.2 rev3 and got camera/video back, so far that's the only one I can get it on. Just for SnG's I changed out kernels to Kings, and sure enough lost camera and vid. Reflashed 2point2 rev3 with stock HTC kernel and back to working cam. Hopefully this will help. I haven't tried Sprint Lovers yet, but I would imagine it would work the same as Myn's. Any other rom I have run (MIUI _CM6.1) no camera again.

All,
I've had my Evo for a few months and have almost pulled the trigger for rooting and tinkering with the phone a few times, stopping each time to read more and more about concerns like backing up the WiMax radio, and other things. Having read as much as I can until my eyes bleed and my brain hurts, I have two remaining questions:
1) I'm wondering if there's any reason to wait until a Sprint-blessed Gingerbread update gets released. If rooted and on some 3rd-party ROM, is there ANY reason to think that anything undesirable might happen to my phone when this update is released? I assume rooting methods might change, but I guess it won't matter if I'm already rooted (?). Anything at all, other than not receiving Sprint OTA updates?
2) I know there are multiple ways to root. To me, the differences boil down to Unrevoked (one-click) and everything else. I don't mind extra steps if there's reason to perform them. The only "con" that I've found to using Unrevoked (assuming I have a compatible Evo) is if "something goes wrong, you will have a bit more trouble trying to find out what went wrong" ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865204 ).
I'm very concerned about having a WiMax radio backup and not losing my keys, and was planning on using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448 as xHausx mentions that explicitly, something I haven't seen very much. There seems to be some confusion that nandroid backups did/didn't backup your radio, or that only certain versions do/did.
Thanks for reading, I appreciate it.
Well im not an expert but this is what i know. First if you do root be prepared to go nuts. Once you get the hang of flashing roms/kernels you might get addicted and be flashing a rom or kernel way too often. Now all roms are basically the same with little differences that dont really matter. One is not better than the other you just have to find the one YOU like best. There are three types of roms. Sense based roms like Myns 2.2 or Fresh Rom. They are basically just like your stock phone with different apps and tweaks than sprint puts in. AOSP roms like Cyanogen Mod or Vaelpak. These are basically stock android (no sense) with little tweaks and apps thrown in. Then there is MIUI Rom which is basically iphones iOS for android phones. I tried all three and went back to sense roms cause everything works. Now for gingerbread. No doubt it will be better and faster than froyo. But it isnt going to be nothing evolutionary or anything. We thought froyo was going to be and its just a little better. Which will probably be the case with every new android update. So if you root you cannot get gingerbread when it is sent OTA, unless you unroot then update your phone. If your rooted you have to wait for the devs hear to cook up a rooted version of gingerbread. Which will take maybe a week after its official release. When i rooted i used unrevoked 3.21. I had to run it twice and it worked no problem. Flashed a rom and was on my way. I would say to use toasts method to root not unrevoked. Only because in order to run cyanogen mod. Which youll have to try. You have to downgrade your hboot to .76. Unrevoked does not do this and yes if you do have issues its kinda hard to figure wat is wrong. I did downgrade my hboot after and everything went fine, but i have seen alot of people having problems doing the way i did. Toasts method does this in the rooting process so youll be able to try any rom as soon as your done. Also youll get familiar with using adb shell, which i still dont know how to use because i used unrevoked. Now with the radios/rsa keys. As long as you dont try to flash a new radio or prl you wont lose your RSA keys. Ive never flashed one and my phone is fine. You dont have to update these. But if you decide you want to. Make sure and use amon ra 1.8 as your recovery and not clockwork mod. Amon will backup your rsa keys when you make your first nandroid backup after rooting and clockwork will not. One thing to remember is just cause some new version of a ROM or kernel or radio or whatever comes out and people are saying its so great doesnt mean it is going to be great on your phone. Some kernels will work great on your phone and suck on mine. If your phone is working great and youve found a rom you love and a kernel that gives you great speed and battery life stick with it. Everytime you flash something..you can have problems. Most are easy to fix by restoring a nandroid or wiping the phone and reflashing the rom. But still its not a good feeling. For instance i run Myns Rom 2.2 RLS3 his new version RLS 4 is out now and everyone says its great. But im sticking with RLS3 because it has the look,feel,speed,battery life i need and want and theres no reason to upgrade. Only when he releases a gingerbread version of his rom. Sounds like you have been doing your research which is good. I studied for a couple months before rooting. Everything in this post is what ive come to understand, but everything in rooting is development so nothing is set in stone. I may not be 100% right on all this stuff jus tryin to help
P.S. i used the videos made by djr3z over at http://www.thedroiddemos.com when i rooted.
Evo - Myn 2.2 RLS 3 - Clockwork - HBoot .76
Hey guys, hope i'm posting this in the right place. I am in need of some serious help here! I rooted my wifes Evo via unrevoked and was running myn's RLS4 with no issues. Than i decided to update/flash the radio/wimax combo zip provided by virus on this forum. I did a Nandroid backup before this btw. Well the phone got stuck in the screen with the white box/arrow and android beside it. After a while i did a battery pull. After that the phone would not start up so i tried to flash the nandroid backup i made but it just kept getting stuck on the white screen that says HTC Evo 4G. I had an older nandroid backup of the stock/rooted sprint rom it came with. It let me flash that just fine for some reason but not the newest backup! Well after this the phone was running like CRAP! lagging, random reboots, physically heating up etc. I was directed to Chris Sprint Lovers 3.70 rom by another member. I did the all in one that the phone scans for automatically in bootloader. Worked like a charm and fixed everything BUT............now i cant flash any roms at all. It goes through all the steps when flashing but it gets stuck on the HTC Evo 4G screen everytime! I still have S-off and SU permissions and all root only apps are working fine. I was told to re-root it but that didnt work either. It gets stuck on the part where unrevoked says waiting for root! Can anyone PLEASE PLEASE help me? It would be much appreciated!
EVO 4g
Hardware 0003
running Sprint Lovers 3.70 OTA update ROM
I think its because the new radio/pri is not really compatible with older HTC kernels or ROMs that are not based off of build 3.70. You might need to flash the older radio and pri before you can flash other ROMs.
Well after flashing the Sprint lovers rom all the software is up to date. Build 3.70, #15 kernel, etc. Runs really smooth but cant flash anything!

What is your hboot version?? You may need to use a different recovery version.
Its .092 I believe. I have been using clockwork recovery prior to this issue. Every time I flash something it just gets stuck in reboot.

I belive so i Think that the new radio's are incompatable with the older hboots such as .97 and below excludeing the eng. bootloader haven't seen anyone have issues issues with .76 or 2.02 and above i have .97 and anytime i flash the radio's my recovery breaks gets stuck at the splash screen and won't go in to the recovery screen. after i flash the ruu that restores the old radios and flash reflash amon ra it works fine again. I have tried to reflash the recovery but its a no go still hangs up
Hmm....she likes the way its running with the 3.70 updates and new radio though. Its much smoother and battery life is pretty good! May try it out though.....

I tried to run the RUU but it was a no go! It keeps giving me a usb error. This is gettig pretty annoying since she really wants her old font and rom back! Sorry for beating this to death but i just cant figure this one out! I cant flash anything!

Hboot 2.16.0001, radio 2.15.00.0008, broadband 2.15.00.0808, kernel 2.6.35.10-g13578ee (or was it cc). Sw 4.53.651.1
what are my chances of rooting and putting on CM71? Base.d on the wiki, it looks like I'm out of luck, even with unrevoked. What about htcdev.net for obtaining s-off?
I'm also confused on how to get back to stock if I ever need to take the phone back (yes, I've read the readfirst doc), including getting rid of cwmod - back to 100% stock. Is there a way to backup my existing rom/kernel/?? and using that as opposed to an older img?
There's just too much info and old threads saying 'latest' to make it confusing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
As far as what mod to use, I'm anticipating cm71 basically because it looks about the most full featured and stable. I have no idea what 'sense' is other than being htc's launcher. I prefer goLauncherEx so if there's something that sense provides that my underprivileged mind doesn't know about feel free to enlighten me.
thanks tons!!
I second this question, I was given a HTC Evo 4g as a replacement phone from sprint after having 3 Epic 4g's and 2 Nexus S 4g's in 7 months. I would like to root this because it has so many unwanted apps.
Noob wants root? Noob should do some searching first. Answers to literally every question up there are already asked and answered 500 times.

If you have 4.53.651.1, then UnrEVOked should work... not sure on 4.54.651.1, which was the latest OTA security update package, though.
Have you even tried UnrEVOked, yet? Or HTCDEV.com? I would imaging that there is always a way...
ok first of all there are a lot of people here willing to help, but first you need to help yourself. do the research, and find out what method will work to root your phone. then read it at least 3 times. then when you start rooting your phone and get stuck people will be more willing to help. i personally rooted my phone a while ago so i have no idea as to what method would even work for you. second make sure you do a nand back up from your recovery when you get one. that will at least take you back to your stock rom, and to get back to s-on well like i said do the research and read read read. good luck and happy flashing

With latest ota, use revolutionary like a couple has posted. Unrevoked will not work on the gingerbread firmwares for the EVO. You need revolutionary.
It's simple and straightforward.

Thanks to all!
The issue was the overabundance of information and trying to weed out the non-current... not that I wasn't searching and reading.
I'm now up and going with synergy RLS1 (non-godmode)+chopsuey9.2.7+Amon RA Style Supersonic recovery 3.07.
Again, thanks for the assist!
right on glad you made it even if you were late to the party have fun and remember to make a back up and wipe wipe wipe happy flashing
