This is like my 10th android phone however with trying to root this i noticed some techniques have a built in image file or whatever that won't let you install roms? I want to be able to install roms, is there a good one click root option for me? Also what would be the best kernel?
why do you actually have 60 posts? Were the other 59 in the development section as well?

Was that a douchebag comment orrrrr are you actually asking? I don't use xda as much as i did droidxforums, androidforums, androidcentral, and droidforums...
lets not bicker about posts, and just get along.. simple question, quick answer......
1. Unrevoked
2. No one can tell you what will be a good kernel for your phone
3. Wrong section
They're all good kernels. Some just work better with some phones. It really depends on the phone.

I found its trial and error with different roms also like three previous poster stated depends on phone. Kernels are easy to flash. Just give em a couple days to settle in. its like getting a new puppy. At first it may not look like its going to work out. After a couple days and conditioning things are better lol. Good luck and enjoy your evo! I do!

Well you'll need to run unrevoked again because z4root only gives you temporary root, and goes away once the phone is rebooted, meaning you'll have to run it again.

No my phone is still rooted. Now i use warm rls5, flash kernel, theme,and other and it still rooted.. like before id said. I dont know how it happen. I know in forum or other website that z4root just for temporary root for evo. But now my evo about 1 month being rooted by it with many flashing.

Not trying to scare you, just saying from what I heard, you lose root after rebooting after z4root, unless the unrevoked did work. But if its all good, no need to go messing with it.

ok if you just got the phone you probably have the newest hboot. I got my phone in december and i had the newest one at the time. (i dont know if its been updated). i wasnt able to use unrevoked, but maybe that has changed since. If you cant use unrevoked, then there should be a sticky on one of the categories, ( i think android development) that will tell you how to root your phone using SDK, abd, and your PC ( thats the way i did it).
As for kernels, like everyone has been saying, it really depends on how the device accepts the kernel, but I am currently using netarchy toastmod 4.3.1 cfs no havs sbc more universal. I would try using the netarchy toastmods, they seem to treat me the best. Download a few and then give them a try. For hardware version 004, dont use BFS... they will cause reboots constantly...
Enjoy your new phone and welcome to the family.
here is the kernels page i use...

I believe this is what you're looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
Just plug your phone into your PC and launch the program. The program does all the work until your phone is rooted and nand unlocked. After it's rooted, you can install custom kernel, ROM's, radio's, etc.

I got myself into a interesting situation. A quick answer would be greatly appreciated:
1. I'm rooted.
2. Trying to install the OTA so I can run 2.2 the right way.
3. I started a thread asking for help because I was confused on unrooting my phone. Didn't get much help, a quick flame, and last someone chimed in to install the OTA from Rom Manager. I asked if I could do this with Root and the thread was killed.
4. I did. The boot screen was the new one. But the radio wasn't updated.
5. I then attempted to unroot my phone. Followed the PB31IMG.zip method. Phone booted normally. Root was lost.
6. This is where I am now.
7. My question is, if I install the OTA now renamed update.zip on my SD card, will I run the chance of bricking my phone because I installed it once from Rom Manager while I had root (#3/#4)??????
Please advise so I don't MOD EDIT up my phone.................
And if you're going to flame and insist I should of just followed the 2.2 leak instructions, you're correct. But I took someone's quick answer and tried it assuming they knew a better method.

Well, "the right way" would be to wait for the actual OTA. Verizon would also have your back if you brick. But, anyway...
If you're still on the 1.00.03.04.06 radio, you can probably follow the instructions in that thread now that you've flashed back to the stock ROM. However, there still seem to be a few cases of people bricking their phones or being stuck in a bootloop after flashing leaks.
If you are confused/concerned/afraid of bricks then you just shouldn't flash the leaked OTA. This is not a flame, this is sound advice. Wait for the real one.
I'm fine with flashing. I just keep hearing about this "double install OTA and brick your phone" issue and I'm trying to avoid doing that. If the one guy didn't chime in with the suggestion to use ROM Manager, I wouldn't of had this issue.
My radio is still 1.00.03.04.06. I just want to make sure I don't run a risk of bricking.
If the hboot updated, i would say not to apply again. If it didnt update then i would say to see what happens, but dont take my word for it 100%

I personally have had a .77 HBOOT since I got my phone in April. My mom's phone, on the other hand, had the .79, which she has had since May, and she sure as hell didn't have no 720p camcorder. I don't think that the OP's phone having .79 means with any certainty that the OTA already applied once. I think the radio version listed on the HBOOT screen would be a better indicator.
But absolutely, running the PB13IMG should ensure that he's as far back as he can go, so why not try it just to be safe...

That's what I just did before I posted this thread. I installed the PB13IMG and restored everything back to stock. You asked about the HBOOT version and that's .79. I'm comfortable flashing and doing the update. What should HBOOT say? Has anyone successfully updated the OTA from .79 HBOOT?
Thank you for the help. Sorry for the questions. I completely comfortable with rooting, flashing roms, and kernals. This is going back to unroot stock is just new.
I want to install the OTA and I'm good to go. Just making sure it's safe now....

Agreed, however, I noticed after running the PB13IMG, my HBOOT was also .79, which could have only come from the PB13IMG since I hadn't tried to do the OTA yet. Just trying to add pieces to the puzzle to get a better picture for future reference...I'm sure this guy wont be the last to ask...

I appreciate the help guys. I guess my question would be if I ran PB13IMG, lost my root, back to stock, my HBOOT is .79 and my radio is still 1.00.03.04.06 and not 2.05.00.06.11, I should be at the same point as everyone else for installing the OTA from my SD card. Right or wrong?
When you read these threads and people are installing the OTA twice and bricking, are they installing the OTA again when the radio is already updated to 2.05.00.06.11?
Yep. I think you can flash it again, but be real cautious, as this is your second time flashing it, but if the radio is still the old versoin, you should be safe.

this works for me can't promise that it would work for anyone else....but if you use z4root and get temporary root you can then use rom manager to fully root your phone which will last after reboot and everything....
z4root gives you temporary root and Rom manager lets you flash a custom recovery/roms.
I don't see how a combination of the two would or could give you a NAND Unlock.

Typically you don't have to worry about it for a freeplacement, If you root it all you have to do is flash a stock RUU and everything will go back to orignial. I had to take my wifes for repaired yesterday due to the flash quit working. I just installed a stock RUU from sprint. Had it fixed, went home re-rooted and restored with nandroid and you would never know.
Just use unrevoked. Its super easy to fully root your phone.

Hey, guys. needs some advice here.
I rooted my evo like long time ago. However, I unrooted it since I have to bring it back to Sprint store to fix the charging port.
Anyways, i checked here, xda, and a few youtube clips. unrEVOked 3.3.2 from unrEVOked website, auto root from XDA, and the guide by Fred from here. I just wonder how you guy feel about these 3 ways, which way you guys recommend best to do now?
Just one quick question, unrEVOked 3.3.2 will trun NAND off too, right?

I have seen to many users run into problems with unrevoked. I did it manually using adb commands and it took a while but I knew what was going on if something messed up. That said, I watched a vid on that autoroot tool and it gives you a decent step-by-step with log if something messed up. I would recommend it, or of course, you could still use the manual method in the dev forum. The title says they are no longer updating it, but no releases have occurred since then so everything in it still applies.

I've rooted 2 evos 2 heros a g1 a g2 an incredible and an eris all with unrevoked3 and it worked flawlessly. Just follow instructions and enjoy
Rooted 3 evos, 1 over xbox live, with unrevoked, and no problems. Just need the hboot drivers, install then uninstall htc sync, then run.
And don't forget to turn on usb debugging.
I'm opposite of some here, I've heard of tons of issues with Autoroot & the Evo, but fairly few with unrevoked.
I'd have to place my vote with unrevoked if you're looking for an automatic rooting process. Just remember that whatever you do, read the directions thoroughly.

if you had been reading up on rooting and really doing your research then you should have learned that you never accept an update right when it comes out because you lose the ability to root until a fix is found (and it often takes some time).

Slightly off this topic, but along the same lines, so I didn't want to start another thread.
I rooted back in November, prior to the latest OTA update - and had a pretty good understanding of what I was doing - I think.. heh
I NEVER flashed a new ROM, Kernel, Radio, etc. Only backedup, rooted, removed some bloatware, and that's it.
I still have superuser su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip (I think?) in my root folder of my SD Card. Nothing else.
I backed up my Nandroid to my computer, as well as all the TitaniumPro backups of bloatware.
I saw Brad560's two posts - both Barebones and Stock ROM's.
In the Stock post, he listed Deodex'ed, Odexed, and Original UnRooted ROM. This confused me, as I'm still trying to wrap my head around the flashing part. Then I saw a reply about Radios?
I think at this point, I definitely want to remain rooted, but would like the "official" release from HTC/Sprint (in root form, stable, as close to the original as possible, for now).
Which ROM should I grab?
Will I need to flash a new kernel? I don't have any desire to overclock or anything.
And will I need to update the Radios separately?
Thanks, sincerely appreciate any help.
Just read in brads thread and all your answers will be there.

I had to go to htc update 3 x first was a security patch, phone rebooted, then back to htc update little larger file this time, phone rebooted, went back to htc update and finally got the 35mb 2.3.5 update, phone rebooted. I have new hboot now to as well. If my usb port dont work at all is there a way to root just from the sd card and is it even possible?

Thanks for replying.
I have read it. That's the first time I had heard of those things, which is why I asked here.
I think some folks forget what's it like to learn this stuff.. and while many here have been around for awhile and have absorbed over time, there are people like me (a military pilot btw lol) who has a tough time grasping some of the verbiage. I had the rooting thing down. Flashing a ROM seemed easy enough, though hadn't done it. Then someone throws up 3 versions in that post and 2 in the other. I get his barebones stuff - for the most part - he stripped stuff out.
Anyway, I suppose I will take the plunge and pick one of the ROMs, then suppose flash the latest radios.
Thanks!

For the time being, only way to "root"/unlock is via HTCDEV method which requires you be connected to your computer via USB sync cable.
So, I have tried time and time again, and am still no closer to getting my phone rooted. I have spent hours reading all over these forums, and Google in general, and have yet to get a straight answer to my question as to why my phone refuses to root.
I am thankful for the advice offered, such as trying SuperOneClick that does... well, nothing. [Says my device has no drivers, yet,. Windows sees my phone as an Android device, and the program generally locks up after]. Was told that my image is faulty, and yet, somehow it's still installed on the device/working fine. [Was suggested to re-download the CW MOD image, and re-install] And it just goes on and on... then silence from the community.
So, to boil it down to the nitty-gritty, the only thing I am getting is, while I -attempt- to install SuperUser via CW, I get this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed!
So, please, someone, assist me in getting my phone rooted!

So, I can by-pass the halt? The phone won't install SuperUser. o.o

try installing superSU...
Now, super one click ... don't use it, it isn't for our roms.
you should be using Odin to flash CW, and then downloading roms and flashing with CW
If you want support from the community, why not offer more information...
What are you running now ? UCLH ? UCLJ ? Jellybean, Gingerbread, ICS ? How did you obtain the version that is running on your phone now ?
i've discovered the only way to root Gingerbread is to download a pre-rooted rom.
ICS, install CW w/ Odin and then flash supersu or superuser .... There was, at a time, I couldn't get ICS to root and had to download a specific SU or SuperSU not on google store that I found by searching the forums ....
Give us more info, as much and as detailed as possible and we can help you further.

I used the official update from Samsung when it was fully released... finally. So, running 4.0.4.
What's SuperSU? Is that different?
For more details, I posted already to the fourms here before they went silent:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35750419 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35811065
As you can see, I tried everything, it's like my phone's being annoying... is it do-able to just re-set the phone to stock Gingerbread, and then just update using another ROM? And, if so, what one do I use? I just want a stable experience. Like, with the leak that came out not too long before the official, there was the keyboard error, and I even had issues with placing and receiving calls...
At this point, it's getting to the point where I am willing to basicly go back to out-of-the-box, then root the sucker, if I can do that. Seems perhaps a clean slate is in order, anywho.
Thanks for the quick reply, though.

I thought I already had that on there, I'm confused. I did what the guide specified hosted here on the forums, but, I still get stuck at the signature verification thingy.
Am I missing something?

Sounds like a bad download...

Tried that as well, unless like, all 10 attempts were bad.
Any other ideas?

so why do u just want super user installed?
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
Why not just install clockwork recovery and flash dmans stock rooted ROM? Since its comes per rooted for you?

#1 what version of Odin are you using?
#2 What version of CWM are you using? Where did you download it from ? (Here I hope : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2007198 )
#3 Where did you get SuperSU from?
#4 Are you downloading it with your phone's browser, or are you downloading it to a computer and transferring via USB ? (It's possible you have a bad flash card/RAM in the computer/physical hard drive in computer).
Do NOT use Superoneclick, there is no SOC that will work for our phone.
It has been some time since I have used ICS. I had completed the stock download from samfirmware.com, installed CWM 6 with Odin 1.85 and (taadaa) attached to this thread the same version of Superuser I used to install via CWM.
I stumbled on this randomly.. no usb hubs i guess..
Are you using a USB that is a direct connection to the motherboard? usually that can cause issues, if your not on a connection to the motherboard it won't work..

From my computer, via USB, and not likely at all. Every component is new, and to make it more amusing, I did all this in the past with the leaked ROM before I got this new system on my last compy, so, yeah... if -both- computers does the -exact- same thing... prolly time to format the phone, and try again, somehow?

Guess that's one reason why it doesn't work at all.

And I thank you, however, that, again, is the same link as before, and, thusly, gives the same error.
Thanks for the reply... think it's time to just tell the phone to start all over, try again?

Nah, just a data transfer connection hooked into the hub on the -back- of my computer.

..okes.. I feel like somewhat of an idiot. I decided to just try one last time to get the recovery mod in there again, and, for whatever stupid reason, instead of seeing a blank background with the Android, I saw the CW icon, and a silver icon... I told it to apply SuperUser as I have tried so many other times, and it just... worked.
The closest thing I can figure is that my browser, and my eyes told me that I had multiple copies of the current CW Mod, but, in my working directory, I unzipped the -old- version.
To make it simple; I -now- have root on my Glide, woot!
*runs to un-install all the bloat ware*

I didn't realize that CW hadn't installed properly for you ... good to know it's working for you now! ..
