Hey guys,
I just got my replacement phone yesterday and wanted to root, my old launch phone was rooted using toast method. I want to be fully rooted with nand unlock. Is the "how to root Android 2.2" on the development forum the best way to do this? If not what it? Thanks in advance guys.

search for the Unrevoked, "One Click root"
I used the unrevoked method but as always follow it to a t. And make sure you get the s-on zip just in case you need to get another replacement

I rooted my evo today using unrevoked. It was very simple and quick. Perfect for someone new to Android and rooting such as myself.

I rooted my EVO today using the unrEVOked3 one click method....and I'm guessing it's rooted. I tried on "several" occasions to use the shootme app when not rooted and it did not work, however it does now.
On the flip side....I can not tether, as it says I do not have root accsess. Also holding down the volume button and power button, it goes into the white screen and when I hit fastboot it "I'm guessing" scans and comes back saying 'no image found' a bunch of times and returns to the main menu.
When I tried to hit the "recovery" button it went to a blackscreen and showed a picture of my phone with an exclamation point over it. No buttons did anything....pulled the battery and all was well again.
So I went back to the unrEVOked (as I am assuming I have no recovery image on my phone - and I tried to put on on the root of my card and see if fastboot would find it....it did the same scan "no image found" and I wasn't going to try to go into recovery again, lol)...so I went back to UnrEVOked and tried that all over again with the phone pluged it, it found my phone and said pushing recovery 'clockworkmod' and then all of a sudden - failed....terminating push.
I did that twice and I now have no idea how to get a recovery onto my phone.
Could it possibly be that I am rooted and not NAND? How can one tell if they are not NAND (I have no superuser icon)
If anyone has had this issue or is way more experience in this unrevoked one click root thing.....I would much appreciate the help
I recommend against unrevoked because it seems like more problems or steps are needed to get it running smoothly.
Use this guide paired with simple root.

Worked like a charm on my replacement evo.
Thanks man....you have answered a question that has been going around in my head for a little while now. There is no way to root 2.2 yet....one has to root from 2.1 and use rooted 2.2 ROMS.
Well it's good to know that there "IS" a way to revert to 2.1 should I want to root that badly....now that I know I have to go back to eclair, I'm not so sure I want to root.....I love 2.2 Froyo!!!
Thanks, I'll keep doing more research as to if it's worth it....and or if someone has found a way to root 2.2 altogether

Once you downgrade to 2.1 you can root with the 2.1 simpleroot. Then you can flash any rooted Froyo ROM you want. You do not stay at 2.1, unless you flash a 2.1 ROM.
i cannot speak for the unrevoked forever as i have not implemented it and do not plan to.
the unrevoked team has been known to put out a couple products that perhaps were not as fully tested as they should have been. but then again, this is a dev site...it's all use at ur own risk. that being said, unrevoked3 has been out for a while and seems to be ok. i have used it to root phones for friends.

There is a way to root 2.2, it's called Unrevoked. The latest version 3.21 works great. I used it to root 3 EVOs and had no problems at all. It takes 5 minutes.
So i rooted with Unrevoked3 the other day.. Note that im a noob with android. Ive only had my Evo for 2weeks. It was easier than i thought. Im running Myns warm two point two rom and ive customized launcher pro plus, its awesome. So my question is... am i fully rooted now? Cause i was told to download and install Unrevoked Forever after i used Unrevoked3???

yes. you have full root + NAND is unlocked. as per unrevoked3
you do not need to run the UnrevokedForever. i have not and do not see myself running it. if more of the devs whom i have technical respect for start recommending it, then perhaps.
you only really need if 1) you a dev and are playing around with some new update for some reason or 2) ur impatient
for example...there is a new update hitting shelves. folks that are impatient will want to load up the latest and greatest...and will often loose root. rather than wait for Myn to release their updated ROM. personally, i would suggest just waiting for Myn to update.
until you have a better feel for how things work. stick with the 'name brand' Rooted ROMs. they will be updated pretty quick. you can see how many posts some of them have...might be a good indicator of activity.
enjoy you new device.
don't forget
- ALWAYS read the first post all the way thru
- to copy a nandroid over to your computer once in a while. (sux if you have a nandroid from yesterday..but your phone is lost or card melted)
- backup your launcherpro settings
- something like smsbackup+ may be helpful
- titantium backup. the paid version is very much worth it if you plan to play with your build a lot. faster and easier by and far. (look into making the update.zip from within titanium as a backup option)

Not unless you are rooted... then you can do whatever you like. Evo's have a locked bootloader which prevents that from happening

Darn. Alright. Thanks for the help guys!
Just FYI, if you do some digging you'll find a thread where a guy said that online customer service said that folks at Sprint repair facilities can downgrade for you. This has turned out to be entirely false, so don't get your hopes up if you read that somewhere.
I need some help and am sure that some of you have the answers, because I don't fully understand all of this and what my options are, or what the best solution is. I have looked through the different threads and found bits and pieces of some of this, but nothing that specifically answered my situation. I will try to put out all of the pertinent info, but please let me know your thoughts, etc...
I have an HTC Evo. I have root access, from unrevoked 2. Here are the current settings/stats from my phone setup/start screen (or whatever it's called when you hold down the volume button and put the battery in):
Android Version 2.2
Baseband Version 2.15.00.09.01
Software Number 3.29.651.5
Model Number PC36100
I don't care anything about custom roms, etc. The only thing that I did the unrevoked for is to do the wireless tethering and being able to freeze some of the sprint apps. The Wireless tethering is the main need for the root, though. I definitely don't want to lose that.
I haven't done any OTA updates from Sprint since I ran unrevoked. I read at the time not to do them because I might lose root access. It has been over a year since I have updated Android, and my phone is doing some odd things, and acting a litte wierd in some instances. I would also like to upgrade to the newest Android release, and probably to Ice Cream Sandwich, when it comes out. However, I know that it usually takes a little bit after these releases come out for the developers to gain root. I feel like there are probably a good bit of updates and new features that Android has added in the last year that I am missing out on.
So, should I just stick with what I have, so as not to lose root? Or, should I just try the latest OTA update and see what happens? Also, when they release ICS to the Evo, if I run that update, will I lose root? I see that unrevoked has updated to version 3, and that there's also a unrevoked forever. Which of these is what I would need?
Lastly, if I am going to run these updates, do I need to 'un-root' first?
Thank you all so much for any suggestions, helpful hints, etc. I'd rather ask on the front end instead of having to post an 'emergency' thread.
Thanks!
All you need to do is go in the developers section here and download yourself a stock rooted 2.3 rom and flash it. No need to lose root or reroot. Just make sure you wipe everything except the sdcard.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Ok, thanks. I'll check that out. Again, as a dummy on some of this stuff, is it worth it time-wise to go ahead and do this now, or should I wait until the devs come up with an Evo release of ICS? Just wondering what your opinions on that would be.
Thanks again!
If you have flashed unrevoked forever then doing any ota updates should not affect your s-off status but doing ota updates are not recommended on rooted phones.
Support TrevE!!
Sprint is not going to release an Ice Cream Sandwich update for the EVO 4g.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I know that they're not going to release it for the Evo, but I've seen it mentioned several places that the developers here will probably create a version for the Evo. I'm just wondering if it makes sense to do the upgrade to 2.3 now, since I'm still on 2.2, or if you all would suggest just waiting to do it until there's a version of ICS to update to...
(I know that some of you are thinking that the update is super simple and easy, but I'm not as familiar with it, so doing something like this takes me forever so that I don't screw up something)
So.....thoughts!???
Thanks!
Yes flash a stock rooted Ginger bread rom and you will not be disappointed. It will be a while for the ics roms to be close to bug free. Flash away and have a nice day.

Exactly what he said and there are stock gingerbread roms here on xda that you can flash and that will give you a rooted stock gingerbread rom. It will be just like you get a brand new evo out of the box except it has root access. Flasher the stock rom just like you would any other rom through recovery. It's very easy and good luck man.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
You guys are awesome!
I don't have any idea how to flash a ROM, but I've seen a couple of instructions and FAQs on here that I can follow to learn about that.
One thing that I haven't been able to really get a feel for yet is, how do I know what I'm looking for on a ROM? You both mention a stock, rooted gingerbread ROMs, is there a specific one that you're thinking of? I see different names (swagged out, Sns gingerbread, sense, etc) but don't know what these names mean. How can I tell which one is just basic, but will allow me to do two things, 1-wireless tether and 2- delete the extra crap that sprint puts on the phone????
I'm assuming that I can find these just by looking here in the "Evo 4G Android Development" forum? And hope to also be able to find the steps on how to flash a rom there also...
Thanks again!

problems rooting too!
So this being my first post and all please dont freak. I searched as best I could to find the proper thread to ask this and this seemed like the best option. So here it goes.
I myself tried rooting my phone with Superoneclick and after numerous attempts I failed miserably. So I tried Doomlord's rooting method. I thought I had figured it out because at the end it said "OK!" and it even rebooted my phone but when I tried to DL Titanium backup and busybox it said it could not gain root access. My question is, first would it be safe to attempt the root process again, or if not any ideas on what I might have done wrong and maybe a solution to fix it?
Thanks again
P.S dear Mod if this was the inappropriate place to post this I apologize in advance.
i would download the superuser app and see if tibu finds root
also, there should be no prob running the rooting app again if you choose to, if you are rooted already it should return a *already rooted* message.
So I tried dl superuser and that did nothing. I even did a master reset maybe thinking that I might of changed a setting I want suppose to, and even that didn't work. Like I said I can't get SOC past step 7 and I've tried all the tips I read on here to get past that problem but nothing. Doomlords looks like it worked and it reboots my phone but still nothing. I would really truly appreciate any help!
thanks again

Apples and oranges. The two programs used to install custom recovery on the Aria utilize exploits in the HBOOT, which is something only HTC devices have.
What software version do you have on your device? (Look in Settings > About Phone > Software version)
I'm having the same situation. Everything I've read says that if you did the security update without root already then you can't root now. I would love for some one to prove me wrong and show me a way. IM running 2.3.5 v10j with kernel 2.6.35.11.

You have the recent update installed which makes it impossible to root the device. There are still methods to get the device rooted but it is not simple and basically involves this process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597488
I would urge you to make sure you know what you're doing before attempting this though.
I had the above problem with not being able to root my phone due to the software version i had. I had to use the "unbricking guide" and after some challenges i was able to restore the phone to stock with root. It is risky, but at this moment im not sure theres any other way to do it, unless someone with programming skills can find an alternate method to go back to a previous version of the software without resetting or unbricking the entire phone.
Hi,
I am new to this site and I came here after reading several (complicated) posts/topics on how to root my LG Nitro HD (P930).
However, I saw there are many methods so I want to know which is the best and the newest method to root my device that I updated to the latest version ICS 4.0.4 (since there is no official Jellybean update on it :crying: ).
Please, if you will give me some links or instructions, please consider I am a newbie in rooting or in the special language you use for doing it.

You can root your phone with the update you have right now, but if you uninstall certain apps you will brick your phone.
To root it use TPSparkyRoot - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439429
This will not help you to install custom ROM's.
If you want Jellybean, you'll have to follow the guide in my signature.
Once you've done that you can install any of the many roms posted here in the Android Development section, anything CM10 based is Jellybean.

First, I don't want to upgrade to jellybean using roms or what you call CM10.
For root, this seems complicated, I'll give it a try later on but are you sure it will work because I saw many warnings and remarks (I'll read them carefully later on, now I'm a little bit busy).
And what about this site I saw before for rooting my LG P930 http://www.androidegis.com/how-to/how-to-root-lg-nitro-hd-with-superoneclick-tool/
They seem 2 different methods for rooting.
Thanks for clarification.

I can't confirm that it works, but there are success stories there.
This is what I meant: you gave me now two different links, so which one to choose?? I want the most convenient rooting method for my case.
For TPSparkyRoot, I couldn't understand anything in these lines:
"**UPDATE** As jchase stated "If your device "bootloops" don't stress, just follow through with the commands as it "loops" ro.kernel.qemu can do funky stuff." I did notice this in my rooting but just assumed it was normal as this is my first use of adb.
**UPDATE2**
If you get a permissions error on the call
adb shell "echo \"ro.kernel.qemu=1\" > /data/local.prop"
then you may try
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
And then try the echo command again. This may be due to having rooted prior without cleaning up properly. Thanks to Franky_402 for this piece of info.
I have updated the batch file to include this step, it should still be fine for those who are not having the issue as well."
+ they said "does not currently work for the latest ICS update released (v9.4.2.11 on 1/18/2012)" but it should with my 4.0.4 right?

Try bin4ry on v20c. TPSparkyRoot is based on an old exploit and works on v18f(4.0.3) only.
Thats just for rooting if you want to install CWM, you mush "unbrick" your phone.

Just rooting, you shouldn't lose your data.... following an unbrick guide on the other hand, you will.
You can backup your text messages and your contacts (even though I believe you can sync them with your google account on ICS and you won't lose them), your pictures/videos/voice recordings are saved on your SD card and can be backed up to a computer before doing anything potentially involving data loss. If you root before attempting the custom recovery install you could use Titanium Backup to backup all your apps and their respective data..

Without doing some reading on the two, I honestly couldn't tell you which one is best for ics. I haven't used the official ics at all so I've had no need to root it. All the cwm flashable ics roms are already rooted, so I haven't had to root since I performed the unbrick process from gb.

Root for LG P930 ON PREPAID 'CONSUMER CELLULAR' network
My friend just bought a prepaid lg p930 phone from consumer cellular, which uses the att network. I was wondering if you can root this phone and install a more efficient rom on the phone. It just came out for this network and so I'm hesitant to try this root method that appears to be for the same model phone but for att and not a prepaid version. Any info on this? Thanks.
LG Nitro HD (P930) 4.0.4 ICS v20c
Hey guys... if you have my device that i listed and you are having problems rooting the phone, it was as simple as turning off my stupid Windows Firewall.
The problem I used to have with Bin4ry (selecting option #1) was it would create a backup, but when it came to restore it would never show up.
If you are receiving an error with a path ending in ric that it cant be located, your device will still root.
Mad love to you developers staying up all night to make stuff like this happen .

The problem I used to have with Bin4ry (selecting option #1) was it would create a backup, but when it came to restore it would never show up.
If you are receiving an error with a path ending in ric that it cant be located, your device will still root.
Mad love to you developers staying up all night to make stuff like this happen .

Hmmmm.....
Never removed firewall to get it working but installed to root directory ie… c:\
And did not run as administrator ran fine for me until then I got the same error as you did.

I did root directory, I changed the cable, changed which USB ports I used, took out the SD card.
I also ran cmd as administrator for it to work as well. I don't know if that is what made the difference, because I did everthing the same except my firewall was on and didnt work, the only thing i changed was the firewall.... coincidence, perhaps.. pure noob luck? of course
