Okay, so I'm really close to being able to do this. I just need someone to explain to me the mental block I'm having.
I'll X-post something from another thread, based on the research and reading I've done:
I am currently running the OTA 2.1 from HTC.
I want: The new rooted Froyo build.
So, steps I need to take to make this happen:
1. Backup my phone.
2. Wipe.
3. Root my phone using simpleroot
4. Reboot.
5. Flash using the file that's listed on page one of this topic, correct?
6. Reboot.
7. Flash the radio with provided file.
8. Reboot.
9. Flash the WIMAX with the provided file.
10. Reboot.
What's confusing me: How do I go from a wiped phone with no data on it to rooted via Simpleroot? Is the wipe required for Simpleroot to work, or does Simpleroot automatically give me the option to wipe while it's rooting? If I DO wipe my phone, do I use the stock installer 136img to boot my phone to the standard HTC sense screen and then root from there, or do I use Simpleroot while my phone is sitting in the recovery shell?
I'm just confused as to where to begin the Simpleroot process while wiping my phone. So confused.
For anyone who responds.... thanks. I feel like I'm so close to having this phone on a rooted Froyo, I can taste it (ha).
Lastly, if I'm not articulating this very well, and someone would like to be the king of awesome, I'd be willing to PM them my number and hopefully it wouldn't take more than a few seconds to explain to me.
Thanks.
It's really more simple than you're making it. Wiping erases data. (full wipe essentially resets the phone back to a clean rom with no user installed apps, personal data etc...).
Follow the instructions for Simpleroot (There's even a video link I believe). When that is done you should have a ROM with root access and a custom recovery. Once finished with this process, delete or rename the PC36IMG file that's on the SD card.
To Flash the other items, radio, wimax, ROM, etc.... just reboot into recovery (vol down + pwr), Choose flash from zip and select the applicable zip file. Remember to Reboot between the Radio & Wimax installs. Flash your ROM and enjoy!
Hope this helps....

Lol. Wow. As I said, it was a simple mental block. Heading home from work to try this... Thanks.
Quick question. Do I need the pc136img file before opening simpleroot?

No. Repeat to yourself as you watch the video... "it's SimpleRoot" because it's Simple. Just follow the instructions to run the program... and click "step1, step 2 as guided by the program..." It will install / run the files needed. I think the latest version may even let you click something to erase the files which are not required going fwd... just take a look at the post and the video.
Also just a heads up if you run simple root and you get an error message to the effect that you need a certain version of microsoft's .net framework. Just google it and install. This is ONLY IF YOU GET AN ERROR WHEN TRYING TO RUN SIMPLEROOT.
Wow. Thanks so much for the quick replies. ill post here later with the results.

So, unfortunately I was away from my main PC last night, and HTC's link to the HTC Sync download was inactive, therefore I couldn't download it onto my laptop to facilitate this.
One last question... do I need the clockwork recovery mod to accomplish any of this?
kperry, thanks for your help!
I was up pretty late, but I am now running a rooted Froyo!
This community is amazing!
Again my apologizes in advance for these questions but I am struggling to sort through all of the threads & determine the best course of action.
I went through this one step root process for my Samsung Epic: SDX-Deverlopers forms. Can't post link due to noobieness. If you good to their website the thread is titled "Author Topic: One click root for the Epic 4G! v2.3.0 Now has Superuser.apk!" first post dated August 31, 2010, 11:23:06 AM.
Now that this has been complete I am trying to do a couple of things.
- First I want to move apps to my sdcard. Since I am on version 2.1 this does not seem to work. Is there a work around on this?
In doing some reading it seems that one of the main suggestions to do once you root your phone is to create a backup so that you can try other mods while not losing everything. The app Rom Manager is suggested however I am uncertain if this is the preferred method for EPIC.
What can I do with the Superuser app?
Since I am the ultimate noob here if anyone would like to provide suggestions on roms & other things that they have done with their rooted EPIC that they have found to work well & be worth while I would greatly appreciate the feedback.
Again my apologizes for being such a noob however I will with your help pick up on this relatively quickly. Thanks!

Firstly, thanks for posting in the right section...
The one click root has been updated many times since th one you've downloaded, the latest version is 2.5.5, and includes flashing clockworkmod, which you can boot into to perform backups ad restores, as well as flash custom ROMs to the phone.
Superuser.apk is an app whose sole purpose is to ask your permission for a root privileged app to run. It is a safety precaution so that rogue apps don't use root privileges without your knowledge.
There are many ROMs to choose from, but the major decision for you is whether or not to run Froyo, which is still beta and unofficial. If you wish to run Froyo, you'll need to use the Windows program Odin in combination with a DK28 tar that updates the phone to Froyo.
Whether or not you stick with Android 2.1 (Eclair) or 2.2 (Froyo) is up to you, there are good ROMs for both versions. Before making any changes, it is always a good idea to backup any important data, as a lot of ROMs will require a data wipe to function correctly.
I would highly recommend reading the xda Epic wiki, and you'll find a lot of info and links there.
Good luck, and welcome to the community.

Drockstar had some good info.
To answer a few questions:
2.1 can not install app to SD. You need 2.2
Yes, 2.3 is an old cwm. 2.5 is in the epic wiki. Gves you root and cwm 2.5. You need to Odin to stock dk28, then use one click root in order to install custom roms tha run on froyo.
You should backup in cwm before using odin. So that you can save your apps and data. Once you odin and root, you can go int advanced restore to get your apps back with their settings. I use titanium backup along with cwm for backing up. Works great for me. Like Drockstar said, the wiki has everything you need. Just follow the instructions step by step. Also, randy shear has a ton of youtube vids giving how-tos and demos. You might want to check out his vids.

Ok - thx! In order to update to the most current one click as shown on this forum under the article title: One Click Root & Recovery for the Epic 4G! v2.5.5 Now has ClockworkMod Redirector!
Would I need to uninstall the old version of the one click root that I have or should I just install as I did with that one for v2.5.5?
Thanks again!
You need to Odin to stock, then use the one click. Again, backup in cwm before you odin to stock so you don't lose your apps and settings

When you say backup in cwm what program is that referring to. Do you mean ClockworkMod Launcher? I have ROM Manager & Titanium backup. Once I ODIN how would I restore? Thx!
I'm referring to backing up via cwm. You should restore only after you have the setup you want. If you are flashing a rom, restore after you have flashed the rom

RTD, I do not understand what you mean by backing up via cwm. Can you walk me through it? If I can get past backing out the old root I can follow the wiki instructions the rest of the way. Thanks for your help.
Go into recovery mode. You should see an option to backup. Just check out Randy Shear's youtube vids. He makes it really easy.

Everyone I am struggling on this. When I shutdown then after shutdown hold down on start, down vol & camera buttons I get the recovery mode however I only have four options as follows:
- reboot system now
- apply sdcard:update.zip
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
What am I doing wrong as I need to find the backup option. Also what would the update.zip be?
Very frustrating...I just need to get this old root out & then it will be smooth sailing. Thx again everyone!
You're not rooted, that is the default recovery not clockworkmod
Cwm = clockwork recovery mod
Open rom manager and see if you have option to flash recovery at the top. Once you do that you should be able to get into cwm recovery.
To the guy above, just cause you don't have cwm doesn't mean your not rooted
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
If your phone is rooted and you've downloaded rom manager and flashed cwm recovery then shut your phone off. Then hold the power button + camera button + volume down. This will take you to the cwm recovery. I kept getting the normal blue recovery until I read that I had to shut my phone off and hold those three buttons. Even under cwm when I pressed reboot into recovery I went to the normal blue one. You need to press those three to get to the cwm recovery.

I went into ROM Manager (free edition) and the top option is available (Flash ClockworkMod Recovery). I clicked on it and it says "Successfully downloaded ClockworkMod recovery! When I then select 'Reboot into Recovery' it takes me to a prompt that gives me the following options:
- reboot system now
- apply sdcard:update.zip
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
Also below that it says:
-- Install from package...

Verifying update package...
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.

Someone suggested that I find a stand alone clockwork in the dev section. After looking over there I am uncertain which one to use & I do not want to grab the wrong one & brick my phone. If anyone could provide a link to a stand alone clockwork (& believes that is the best course of action) pls send it to me as a pm if it will not allow you to post on the forum.
Again I am sorry for clogging the board up with this however I am stuck. Once I get the clockworkmod setup & then ODIN I will be on my way. Thanks again!

Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried this & it takes me to the blue backup screen as you mention. I need help finding a stand alone download for clockworkmod to try to fix my mess up.
You could put the 1-click root w/ cwm on top of the root you already have. I remember reading that it can royally screw your phone though. Its hit or miss. I personally wouldn't do it.
If you don't care too much about losing settings and saves (like game progress or settings on an app), you may just want to flash odin, do the one-click root w/ cwm and flash a rom.
I have found that backup apps like titanium and my backup are a little spotty with their data restoration capabilities. Nandroid, which is the backup/restore used in cwm is the best.
You could try to backup using my backup before you flash odin. No promises that you will be able to restore all of your data (apps, game progress and settings) with my backup though.
The reboot to recovery option doesn't work on 2.1, you have to power off and use vol down, camera, power. Now that you installed recovery from rom manager it should work.
Edit, to be clear, if you select reboot recover on 2.1 it goes to samsung recovery. If you power off and then hold the 3 buttons you'll get cwm recovery since you flashed it in rom manager.

Unfortunately even after flashing cwm & then restart (after shutdown) with the power, down vol & camera button I am still getting the blue recovery screen. Perhaps applying the update.zip would give me the cwm? Would anyone suggest applying update.zip?
If this doesn't work I will just ODIN & set every back up again so as not to waste more of everyones time on here. Again many thanks to everyone for pointing me in the right direction.
I'd try running the 2.5.5 root first, if it works great, if not you'll have to odin but you were gonna do that anyway.
You might want to install odin and the samsung drivers and verify it can see your phone before anything has the chance to go wrong, that way you know you are ready to fix any problem that might come up.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
One more question... In regards to doing ODIN do I need to have anything special selected i.e. enable USB debugging or checking Unknown sources (allow install of non-market applications)?
Are there any other things I need to think about or setup aside from the phones drivers prior to ODIN?
I've tried and I've tried, and I've tried and I can't get the newest clockworkmod to flash so I can try to taste some gingerbread. I've looked a lot, and I've tried to use the "easy way" that's stickied at the top of this thread and I've tried to push through terminial as well but it tells me the image isn't found. So, please do not tell me to search and what not because more than half the time I do in fact search, considering I am an active member of this forum I know all about it. Idk if I'm naming the file right, or if I'm suppose to extract files from the zip or what not, but nothing seems to work. So help a brotha out, and tell me what YOU did to get it to flash with step by step, detailed if possible steps. I appreciate you taking the time to read, and possibly help. I know its annoying, but I would love you for ir

post the steps you took, perhaps someone can glean an operational error from that. my guess is you need to navigate to the proper directory or rename the file
I flashed it using terminal from phone and recovery on sd.
I have heard ppl getting issues with that image not found thing, some other files have to be copied to allow the flash_image command to work but cant remember where.
What might work,..... use rom manager to update your recovery if you havent used rom manager before. Then check where rom manager places the downloaded recovery. Then rename ur recovery v3 to the exact same name as the 2.5 and place in the relevent folder, then try to get rom manager to flash it, like tricking it.
This method was reported to work a while back.
Worth a bash?
If fail, drop me a pm, ill have a look for that flash_image binary stuff when i get home tonight pal.

The main plan I was trying to do was replace and trick rom manager into thinking it was the original but it is really 3.0. So I replace thr image and rename and flash clockwork and when I go into recovery and its a no go. Then when I try to flash it via terminal it says the image isn't found when I know it is on the root of my card. Do I need to unzip the file and take the imgage out and place it on the root of my sd card, or put the zip on my sdcard and try to flash it?(doing it via terminal). How do I need to rename the file? I've also read somewhere that I need to have the correct rom binary, is that correct? I'm running a virtuous sense rom right now. What does that mean?

I was having similar problems with flash_image, and I managed to get 3.0.0.5 on there by:
1. Flashing back to stock and starting fresh (did this with a pc10img via bootloader)
2. Rooting via the gfree -f as on the wiki
3. Downloading CW Rom Manager from the market
4. flashing the 2.x recovery that comes with that
5. Use Rom manager to download and install Cyanogen 6.1.1 clearing data and cache
6. Use flash_image instructions linked above by raitchison to install CWR 3.0.0.5.
Probably the long way around, but helped me get a grasp of what all was going on with my phone, and gave me a clean slate to start with. Haven't upgraded to CM7 yet, but now I know I can when I'm ready.
I know it doesn't help you now, but...........
Just read a tweet from koush that he is going to be releasing the CWM Recovery 3.0.0.x officially very soon, he is just waiting on cyanogen to finish running some test with it, so for people having issues with flashing CWM recovery 3.0.0.x you should see some official support from koush real soon.
It actually does help because I can wait a little more for the convicence of flashing. Thank you sir.

I got it to work just flashing the reovery through terminal. Turns out since I was using a sense before hand, and not stock of a cm 6.1.1 I didn't have the correct binary for the rom. So I flashed cm6.x.x and then flashed the newest cw3. Its all good.

uhh.. all i had to do was change the name of the recovery.img (3.0.0) the exact same name as the one in ROM manager. reflash with rom manager and its done. Works everytime
there is also a "how to" on it. But if you know how to copy and paste when your SD card is mounted to computer its pretty simple

+1, I don't even mount to my computer though. I do it all through Astro. Easy breezy.
that does work, but the only reason it wasnt working because i didnt have the correct rom binary because i was using virtuous sense.
CWM 3.0.0.5 is now supported by ROM Mnanger, so for all the people having problems flashing the new recovery, rom manager will do it for you.

I'm really not sure what exactly you were trying to accomplish, as unrevoked provides full root. What root method were you trying to follow?
Anyways, now you need to flash a PC36IMG of a recovery image,.using the bootloader. I'd link you to one, but I'm on the Xda app. Once you get recovery flashed, you can reflash a rom of your choice.

It was the semi root one, im pretty sure cause my evo wouldnt let me run some FULL root access apps like titanium back up and such, how would i flash a recovery image? my phone is stuck at the htc evo 4g boot screen, i can get to the bootloader and it trys (everytime) to to install the PC36IMG and it doesnt work :/
What was the PC36IMG you tried to flash? And where did you try to flash it - the bootloader or recovery? You're saying that it didn't flash successfully, correct?
If all you need is your recovery back and everything is fine, you just need to flash Clockwork again. You can do this through the bootloader or by downloading Rom Manager and choosing "flash ClockworkMod Recovery".
If you want/need to flash through the bootloader, first delete the PC36IMG on your SD card then download the one of CWM that I'll link you to. Put it on the root of your SD card and power down the phone. Boot into the bootloader by holding the volume down button and power button simultaneously. It should check for the PC36IMG and ask you to update. Choose yes, then no when it asks you to reboot. Choose recovery from the menu and you should boot into ClockworkMod. If you don't need to do anything recovery related, just choose to reboot from there.

Sorry, I missed the action. I was typing on my phone and cleaning at the same time
If your phone won't boot, you'll need to wipe cache, dalvik cache and data then flash a new rom. You can try just wiping cache and dalvik then rebooting to see if that will help, but it probably won't.
EDIT: It could've been that you needed busybox and you really were fully rooted. Did the bootloader say s-off before all of this? If it did, you've been nand unlocked all along.

Ok I have the Clockwordmod working thank you, Phone still wont boot, Im guessing cause it Doesnt have a rom to boot, Idk how to install roms either sadly .
So I think I need a rom to install from zip, but idk how to get a rom thats worth trying to install, last time i tried to install it cam up with :
"Amend Scripting is no longer supported"
"Please switch to edify scripting"
-Steps into the fray-
1. Place the attached file on your sdcard, then boot into the bootloader [vol+down while phone is booting up] let it scan, the apply update., reboot, reboot into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3 You got the error cuz CWM 3.0+ doesn't support amend scripting [old], only supports edify [new].
As for a rom, I'd recommend CM7.
> http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic download a version from there
> http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/ download the gapps here
In recovery, wipe your factory/data, cache, and dalvik. Install rom, select the CM7 you downloaded, go back, wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the gapps, then reboot.
Ok Following the latest post's steps and I'm Installing cm7 now thank you people so much for the help so far, ill let you know if everything goes well.
Never a problem, were you in good hands long before I got here.
Nice Rom, Everythings back to normal and its really cool, Thank you guy's for all the help
Glad we could all help.
Before i end this lol, is there anyway for 4g on cm7?
Settings > CM Settings > Interface > Notification Power widget
scroll down to mobile data [3G], then wimax is 4G, select both [and whatever else you want] and then you can toggle it from the notification.

Done everything including root, s-off, partitioned sd card.I am now trying to upgrade to CM 7.1, the final step hopefully!!!
Note:I am currently using stock 2.3.3
Currently have CM 7.1 downloaded on computer and going to install....BUT every instruction I see requires me to have rom manager/ clockworkmod recovery. However, I can't install these because ''this app can't be installed in your country''. unfortunately used to this.
So does anyone by chance have any links to instructions or have instructions of how I can install this without downloading any apps, hopefully an idiot proof version.(Not worried about saving a recovery etc....phone is basically blank.)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Kind Regards,
rkdeane
Put it on your SD card. Flash from recovery. See the CM wiki.
Recovery has nothing to do with Market.

So i looked on CM wiki but it wasn't clear to me.I have c/pasted what i saw below.
-By theme to they mean rom, bc didn't see any rom instructions.
-When it says copy to the root of my sd card, can i just copy the zip from my desktop to the sd card via windows, how do they mean the root of it??
-#4 , how do you flash. i see a flash image on the wiki, must i downlaod/install this??
Just double checking befor ei go experimenting and mess up soemthing.
Obviously a complete noob, but learning everyday, any help is much appreciated. thanks for the help so far guys.

from wiki:
1.Perform a Nandroid Backup before flashing any theme.
2.Download a theme you like. Check the forums.
3.Copy the zipped theme file to the root of your SD card.
4.Flash it like you would any other .zip file.
from how to use recover (wiki):
HTC Desire (GSM) Hold Volume Down and the Power button, then use Volume Down to highlight "bootloader" and press the Power button to select it. Once in the bootloader, use Volume Down to select "recovery" and press the Power button to select.

Ok so tried to insta.
Did the following:
1)hboot
2)went into recovery
3)install .zip in sd card
it went into unrevoked and i selected the file and installed.
everything finished then exited.
but now all i get is a screen with cyanogen android guy on skateboard and and arrow going in circles around hope....looks like a screen saver that refreshed like every 5 seconds......so what do i do now????? seems soemhting did not go as planned.
Did you wipe? Read what I said last post

no did not wipe....have nothing installed on phone....and i cleared everything off of sd card before i put on the cm 7.1 zip...
unfortunately your post came acouple mins after i attempted !! as luck would have it.
goign through your faq's now to see if i can sort it out.....
cant get passed the screen saver....but i can get into hboot/recovery
i see your wipe comment below:
should i let it run for 10 mins?? i let it run for like 2 and figured it was just stuck.
should i do a factory reset....will that undo all my rooting and partitioning that i have done???
also can cm7.1 work with an ext4 partition??? which is what i have.
the gparted advice was excellent as well.
what is all this about wiping? Do I need to?
Maybe. If you go from one stock ROM to a custom ROM, or one Custom ROM to another, the settings may not be compatible. You can wipe from ClockworkMod Recovery. - Wipe data/factory reset.
If the ROM is stuck in a boot loop for more that 10 minutes, you may have to back to recovery and do a wipe of the Data partition
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Yes you must factory reset. It won't affect root or anything. It just wipes the data partition

Thanks rootSU,
I wiped/ factory reset it in recovery mode. next tiem i started it BOOTED INTO CM 7.1....though it seems to take its sweet time. doesn't recognize sim, but think i founds some pages to help deal with that......moving in the right direction
Thanks!
Terepin - I never said it did. But when did not having ROM manager affect flashing ROMs
