I have rooted a few evo's for friends(never had probz with any) and was rooting one for a co-worker today and all was well with Unrevoked going smoothly as usual.
I got the message victory or it was a triumph(i forget what it says exactly) and went in for the final reboot and the phone rebooted fully but UNREVOKED got hung up pn waiting for reboot.
I tried this 3 times with same results.
Finally i went into bootloader and saw it WAS S-OFF but there was no superuser and no root access using root checker.
Anyone have any advise? i tried looking this up but saw no other simaler problems.
THANK YOU!
I would just download a known rom with root and flash it.
I have s-off, i feel i am just about there is there anyone who has had the same issues with unrevoked?. i searched google and cant get anything. if i try to go into recovery i get the triangle with exclamation point
just flash a zip with the su binary and superuser apk
if you can't find one i'll make u one (cuz they're rare now)
if you have no recovery, just s-off, flash amon-ra through a pc36img.zip.

ok, so you have no recovery. download the pc36img.zip for amon-ra recovery (it's better than cwm anyways, and will lead to less problems) and name it pc36img.zip (no typos). then put it on the root of your sdcard and boot into bootloader. it should scan your sdcard, and ask to update. hit vol up for yes. then it'll finish and ask to reboot. hit vol down for no. then select recovery. you can find the pc36img.zip here.
as for the actual superuser zip, gimmie 2 seconds...
ok here's the zip. this will place superuser.apk in system/app, place and symlink su in /system/bin, and symlink it to /system/xbin, and also install busybox to /system/xbin. this is written in amend because i'm not good enough at edify yet to write a complex (ok, more than simple) script. so it does need to be flashed with amon-ra. enjoy...

s-off is full root. s-on is either unrooted or half rooted. s is the nand lock security. so when it's off, nand is unlocked. and when it's on, ur locked down....

i put the img on the root and when loading bootloader it says really fast wrong location or something...its fast

Try flashing amon _RA again. Place that file on the root of your SD card (not in any folder) and make sure it is the only file with that particular name. Afterwards, shutdown your device and then boot into the bootloader (DOWN volume & power button). After a short pause, a few lines of text should flash across the screen. After that, the bootloader should autodetect the file and prompt you to install it.

i did just that and i renamed it the exact name plus the .zip at the end. the exact file in the link. re d/l again now
Just download a recovery and flash it i use amon

OK, this is downright embarrassing, I have linux experience, I have experience unlocking and flashing almost every HTC winmo device, and right now I seriously need a clue on how to flash my evo with damagecontrol.. i believe i already rooted it properly, i come to this conclusion by typing "id" at the terminal on the device and the uid is root. seriously i feel dumb right now.
well if you are rooted all you need to do is put the rom zip on your memory card and then go into recovery..
from there wipe then flash from zip.
from what ive seen soo far, might i have to rename the damagecontrol rom zip to pc36IMG.zip? and to get to the recovery screen just hold vol down and power?

You don't need to rename it. Yes, that is how you get into recovery. If you're using ClockworkMod recovery, then you should select "Install zip from SD card" and then browse to the ROM, then install it. You might need to wipe your data first for it to work properly. Do a nandroid backup first in case something goes wrong.
ROM Manager... works wonders for noobs like us
ok, Maybe i need to see the whole picture in a verifyable way. Just so i can see this thing from the inside out i have some more questions.
1. How do i verify that I have full root access? I am root when i "id" at console.
2. Im assuming NAND is protected storage onboard the phone.. How do i verify I have it unlocked?
3. How do i know the recovery image has been flashed?
Where these questions come from is the fact that I used jiqqaman's OTA simple root witch i think was a big mistake if i was to understand what is actually happening and being done.. so basically after running OTA simple root i have no idea whats been done, or how it was done...
if you used simply root you should be ok.. i rooted my Evo 1st thing the "old way".. not sure how to check if you are fully rooted. maybe someone else can help there.
1st thing you need to do is find the pc36IMG.zip and delete it of remane it.... i did mine root-pc36IMG.zip
then power off the phone..... when its off hold the power button and volume down ( same time) this should give you a white screen while it reads for the pc36 zip... since you remaned it nothing will happen.... after this you should see recovery.. should be the 2nd one...
volume down to highlight it and hit power buttom
the phone should go into recover mode.... from there you should see wipe etc... wipe data and cache then flash rom from zip
dont remane the rom.... volume keys to navigate..
hope this helps
ok, so far so good, but when i go to flash the new rom, I choose install update from SDcard, it then looks for it and cant find it. The rom is on the root of the SD and it's named "DamageControlv3.1.2-deodexed.zip" also trying the ROM manager pops an error of "an error occured while attempting to run privileged commands."
Alright what you need to do is download ROM manager from the market. Once you do that do the "flash clockworkmod recovery" and then once its done click on "reboot into recovery" then you should be able to install the ROM. Hope this helped

Okay I have no clue what you have and don't have. But a few thoughts, make sure you are choosing install zip from sdcard/choose zip from sdcard and not apply sdcard:update.zip. If you are unsure you have a recovery image flashed, in extras on SimpleRoot there is an option to flash recovery. Other than that not too sure what is wrong.
unrevoke will only give you root and not nand unlocked...,you need to run toast method 2 nand unlock.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
When you boot into recovery (while the phone is off hold volume down and power up) check the top of the screen to see what version hboot you have. If you ran simple root and showing version 0.79.0000 then something went wrong. It should say 0.76.2000

He mentioned that he ran simple root program not unrevoked and simple root will unlock nand. See my post above to verify if your actually rooted. If hboot version is .79 then you have not unlocked nand.
success, it seems once youve already used simpleroot, it's a PITA to get clockwork on it unless you use the option in extras of simpleroot. Success is mine, although i think i have a few more grey hairs for it. Thanks to all those who helped. And to put out words of advice for any other newbs... when they say wipe, they mean cache, userdata AND DELVIC! If you dont you might crap yourself when the phone goes into boot loop! I know i almost lost it. Thanks again everyone!

I tried on 2 pcs without luck. Ihave double checked everything but no luck after numerous tries. I have rooted 2 other phones so this isnt my first root. Anyone else been able to get around this issue?
hmmm I booted into hboot and it says S-Off (although its not off) but there is no recovery.
Looks like im up!! My s was off so I manually backed uped my RSA keys just to be safe and proceeded to flash Amon_RA recovery PC36IMG.zip and then I flashed superuser zip and that got me where I needed to go.

So your s-off now when you boot into boot loader?
I just flashed the recovery and got back up manually with superuser and busy box. You can download superuser from the market or flash a zip as for busy box I installed through Titanium Backup.
I used this method to get my recovery fixed.

FIX BROKEN RECOVERY
This is really only needed if you rooted with one of the previos guides version 6 or lower or if you installed a different recovery like I told you not to. It installs amon_ra 2.2.1
1) Download File PC36IMG_Recovery.zip and Rename to PC36IMG.zip.
copy to the root of your SDCard and power off phone
2) Power your phone back on into the boot loader by holding power and vol-down until your presented with a white screen. It will read the pc36img.zip and as you if you want to flash. Say yes. Then it will ask if you want to reboot, VOL+UP for yes.
3) If your rom gets tossed in the process. Reboot your phone into bootloader select recovery, and reflash your rom....DONE

Are you rooted? What recovery do you have? If you are rooted, you may need to reflash a recovery. I suggest amon RA v2.3....Download the PC36IMG.zip from http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=PC36IMG.zip
Afterwards, put it on the root of your SD card. Shutdown your device and re-enter the bootloader screen (press the down volume button while also pressing the power button). The bootloader will AUTOMATICALLY detect the PC36IMG.zip and prompt you to install. Follow the prompt to install. The installation takes less than 10 seconds to complete. Afterwards, reboot into recovery. The name & version of the recovery will be displayed at the bottom of the screen....Take care.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it is a recovery file. Boot animation screens and the like can also be name PC36IMG.zip. If you're certain that the file you have is indeed a recovery file, then, by all means, use the one you have, but if you're unsure, go with the one I linked and put the other one in a folder.
that pc36 file is what recovery i have not sure what its called
but everytime i go to the hboot screen it always scans something and says do you want to update and i always click no. this ONE time for some reason started annoying me so i clicked yes and now i can't go in recovery. smh

If you followed my instructions and are now in recovery, then yes, that's it. I mean, unless you're getting ready to flash a new rom, kernel, theme, mod of some sort, you can simply select "reboot" and your phone will reboot and then load into your homescreen.

You are definitely in recovery if you're able to wipe the cache, dalvik & data. Keep in mind that since you are wiping your "data", you will have to re-enter your data when you enter your homescreen. Most people do not wipe their data unless they want to start over or something. Anyway, I'm glad I was able to be of assistance to you. Take care and have a great night....
Hello all, so I unrooted my phone by putting the RUU on my sd card. I want to re-root it now but am having trouble doing it. I've tried using the unrevoked method but it doesn't seem to work. When i got into the bootloader, it just re-installs the stock rom. any ideas?
Btw, I am using a mac if that helps at all.
Are you still s-off?
If so flash clockwork recovery thru hboot as a PB31IMG.zip. (http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=28)
Download and install the superuser app from the market.
Download and install the busybox app from the market, and then install the busybox binaries thru the busybox app.
If you are s-on and on android 2.3.4 you will need to follow this guide to get root and s-off. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1306400)
cmlusco, i am s-off i believe. when I originally rooted my Dinc about a year ago I ran the unrevoked3 method. I am currently running android 2.3.4 stock sense.
so i just download the latest version of clockwordmod and rename it PB31IMG.zip, put it on my sd card and reboot into the bootloader by turning off and then doing the volumeup + power method?
just checked. it is indeed s-off. so just download the latest clockworkmod, rename to PB31IMG.zip and put it on my sd card and flash through Hboot?

Flash this thru recovery like a rom (http://dinc.does-it.net/SuperUser/SuperUser_3.0.7.zip). Once rebooted open the superuser app hit menu, preferences and scroll to the bottom and tap on su binary to get the newest su binary.

Yes you could but its better to just go strait to recovery and flash it.
Power off the phone and pull the battery and then replace it.
Hold the vol down button and power button down at the same time untill your in hboot. Once in hboot use the vol keys to scroll to recovery and then hit the power button to select.
Once in recovery use vol buttons to scroll to install zip from sdcard and the trackball to select it. Then navigate to the su.zip and use trackball to select and confirm.
thank you!
This works. Did it myself after 2 frustrating weeks of hitting a dead-end. There's always hope when you search these forums!
I had a problem with rooting mine because of the downgrading from 2.3.4... took a while and wouldn't boot at first but after flashing stock IMGs in hboot I was able to fix this. s-off took a while too. the downgrade and s-off forum is good but I ran into several problems
Thanks for this tip. I have an EVO 4G and was having similar probelms with su binary. Got it to work now!
0. Get S-OFF via XTC-Clip, or UNLOCK from НТСDEV
1. Download this
2. Connect your device to PC via USB with usb debug mode
3. Run recovery.bat from archive
4. Press any key when asked
5. That's all. You've got CWM.
To Root
0. Download lastest Superuser and su here
1. Put Superuser and su in the root of SD card
2. Go to CWM and install zips
3. Now rooted
Tnx to alquez for recovery port
CWM installed just fine , however the root did not happen inspite of installing both the zip files via the recovery cwm! Still an S-ON
I'd recommed rooting through HTC Super tool.

Root and S-ON are not the same.
I did the first part, worked like a charm, thanks!
As far as the second portion, though, how exactly do I "Go" to CWM? Do you just mean the Manager that I download from the Market? Or how do I boot to CWM? This is all very different from my Nook Color.
EDIT:
Disregard. I figured it out. I will return if I have an updates. Thanks again.
EDIT2:
The Root portion does not work. I ran both of the zip files, but my phone is still not rooted. If I access CM in the phone it states that the phone is not rooted and needs to be in order to perform such a task.
try to find out, is there su app in system\bin?
Download this to your sd
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Reboot into cwm then choose install zip from SD then choose zip.
Point it to the file you downloaded
When done click back then reboot.
That should be you rooted.

Can you elaborate on what you did to answer your own question?
I have the same one. I don't understand what's meant by "Go to CWM" or "reboot into CWM". In fact, I don't even understand what CWM is.
Is that just ClockworkMod? If so, what's the reason for downloading it from the links people post, as opposed to simply downloading it from the Market for free?
I power off my device, and then hold volume DOWN and power, and I get into some non-graphical program (not even sure what you call it), but there doesn't seem to be any option to install anything from a .zip on the SD card.
I'm confused

Can you elaborate on what you did to answer your own question?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that non graphical program is called the bootloader, clockworkmod is a recovery. so once youve booted into your bootloader use the volume buttons and power to select stuff. go to recovery and push power. that will bring you into clockworkmod recovery
