Hello All after searching and following directions of multiple threads including this one http://vaelek.com/index.php?/topic/1666-guide-how-to-un-root-re-root-your-evo-4g/ Unrevoked3 method and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8223391&postcount=1 Auto root method, Im completely stumped and lost on what to do next. Im a half a noob.
After having some flashing issues with any non aosp Gb roms, I was forced to do Unroot rerrot method in hopes that would fix it.
So I Ruu'd to this setup:
hardware 0003
2.15.00.11.19
3.70.651.1
pri 1.90_003
prl 60679
and was able to get back to stock 2.2 and s-on
So then trying to root again, ran into issues.
Unrevoked method:
Installed usb drivers & htc syn(then uninstall)
Debugging on
Phone charge mode
and when i get to step to run Unrevoked, I get to the familiar waiting for device.
Does this everytime
Note that might be important: Step Where i go into Device Manger, I never have "Other Devices" listed-Android 1.0 like its says it should. However, Im still able to install/update drivers under"Disk Drives" Htc Android Phone Usb Device
One Click AutoRoot method:
Followed steps as it says and when i get to right click on Autoroot.bat & run administrator Step, Black box pops up, Runs through its thing it says it doesnt recognize advice. Tried over and over same thing.
btw im on Windows Vista 64 bit
Heard that trying a previous version of unrevoked3(3.2) could solve this issue but had problems finding anything other than updated version. v also tried switching usb cables and other little things you would not think it would be but im desperate.
i dont know what else to do. Ive been searching google all day. Please please help me.
Do you have usb debugging enabled from your phone?

Been doing looking online to figure why neither option is recognizing my device and still cannot root.
Could there be a chance the reason is I'm on a 64 bit system?
Any kind of help here would be great.

Is you phone on 2.2 or 2.3 unrooted? Also you installed the modified hboot drivers from unrevoked?
Ruu'd back to 2.2, my current set up is in op. And yes installed drivers, followed exact directions of the both Unrevoked method and autoroot method exactly as the directions say. Neither method is recognizing my device. See op.

First and foremost, you need to turn usb debugging back on.
Sorry that was a typo, i always have it on when its suppose to be, sorry.

After you installed the drivers, you see android bootloader interface once the phone is plugged in? Also, reboot your phone and pc, then try unrevoked again.
Yes I see that but I dont see Android 1.0 under other devices in device manager. Thought this could be part of the issue as well. Your suppose to see that after installing drivers and plunging in phone.
As a last resort I'm trying a different pc as we speak. If you have a step by step directions maybe something that is easy to follow that would be great. Starting the downloads now on the new pc.

This is my guide to rooting...so far flawless victory for those that have used it.
Rooting
1. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.p...driver_install ; Download the hboot drivers needed for rooting. The instructions are also there of how to install them, straight forward.
2. Download unrevoked3 > http://unrevoked.com/recovery/ ; It will show up as reflash_package on your desktop; leave it alone for now
3. On your phone from a home screen: menu > settings > applications > development and make sure usb debugging is checked; needed so that unrevoked can find the phone; never turn this off
4. http://www.htc.com/us/support/evo-sprint/downloads/ ; Download htc sync and install it. After that, uninstall the program from your computer ; you only need the drivers from it.
5. On your phone, connect the to the pc in CHARGE ONLY, do not mount as a disk, ect, has to be charge only
6. On the desktop, run unrevoked [reflash_package], accept the disclaimer, blah blah
7. Just sit your phone down and let it do its thing. It'll take about 5 minutes, and the phone will reboot twice. Once its done, it'll say done. You can open your app drawer and you'll see an app that says superuser, and then you're done.
IF unrevoked tells you 'is your firmware too new?' boot into the bootloader [while turning the phone on, hold vol+down till you see a white screen with androids skateboarding.] Use the volume keys to navigate after the scan completes to clear storage [a factory reset, data will be lost] and then use the power button to select it, then repeat step #6.
To tether, you can flash a custom rom of your choosing after you've browsed, and then use the built in hot spot, or download wireless tether from the market, more later after you root.
Unrooting
1. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever ; Scroll down to the FAQs, then download the unrevoked s-on zip. This places the security back on your phone, because rooting makes it s-off, and if s-on, quickest way to tell your phone was rooted.
2. Flash that file from recovery, then boot back into the bootloader [vol+down while turning phone on] and verify until its s-on.
3. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip ; rename that file to PC36IMG, place on the root of your sdcard [not in a folder] then flash it in the bootloader. When the scan that normally does nothing, it'll detect that file. Apply the update then reboot. That's a stock 3.70 firmware file, it'll take you back to stock, unrooted, s-on.
Ok will try it and let you know thank you so much
Edit
the first link is no good but i just googled unrevoked wiki and i think i got it

should be no prob with superoneclick. Try it! I've never bricked a phone with it, superoneclick will just error or hang as a general rule if it cant do it. Oh yeah I take no reponsiblity...blah blah blah. (Btw, its how I did my 5660m, and my wife's, and my kids' - 5 rooted phones in total). I now happily run ICS on it and am about to JB it .

Which tutorial did you used?
Oh gawd, its been a while. Here, do this. Download the most current superoneclick from shortfuse. Enable usb debugging on your phone. Make sure latest samsung drivers are on your pc (they can be found on this site). Plug in phone and start superoneclick. Click on "root" and you should be good to go. Watch the log on the right hand side, it'll give you a realtime update as to what's going on. That's best as I can remember, I'll try to find you an appropriate tutorial, but try that for now. Don't forget, if it works for you and you're satisfied, maybe hit the in program donate button for shortfuse.

Thanks i will try =)
Excellent, you gotta try to succeed! Let us know how you make out so we know you did it, and others having the same problems can learn from your experience.
I will try saturday
When i try to root, i get stuck at step 7
And now at step 5
Download this file
copy to your root of the SD card.
Put the phone to recovery mode (Home Key + Power)
Choose install zip from SD card.
Choose zip file.
Flash it.
I need to make sure that I have instructions ahead ahead of time, because currently I am having to tether for internet access.
Model: SGH-T999
Baseband Version: T999UVDMD5
My phone is currently running stock. However after finding out about Carrier IQ, I would like to root my device so I can remove it. FOREVER!
I am mostly just paranoid that Carrier IQ includes information about me using PDANet+ and I really dont want Tmobile to find out. I have performed the TTL=64 Registry trick, and Mask Tethering in PDANet is set to Level 1. I am also using a User Agent Switcher to force Chrome into appearing to be an Android browser, but I am still nervous that Tmobile might find a way throught Carrier IQ
Rooting would provide some great benefits. If at all I would like a manner that allows me to root without losing everything and just being able to continue using it as if nothing happened, besides being rooted. I have a decent number of apps and I would like to not have to reconfigure them all.
If anyone can assist me on this, that would be great.

[FONT="]You will not loose any music, pictures or videos and google will automatically import your contacts.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The only things you will loose if you don't back them up are your apps that you got from the playstore.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Follow instructions exactly.[/FONT][FONT="]
Easy and sure way to get your phone rooted - Here is s step by step guide:
Download the newest pre-rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 T999 Jellybean Touchwiz v4.1.2 rom: [/FONT]T999_UVDMD5[FONT="]
After downloading make a folder on your computer's desktop and unzip the
file using Winzip or 7zip so the .TAR file is in the new folder you just made.
Download and extract Odin into the same folder you made containing the TAR file
Here is the link for Odin: [/FONT]http://d-h.st/Q14
Download ODIN which is required for flashing the stock rooted firmware (a windows app)
Download the Odin Flash firmware for T999 Tmobile then copy it to the same folder as Odin
Run Odin by double clicking the Odin.exe within the same folder as the TAR file you extracted
Turn off your phone and boot into DOWNLOAD MODE (Volume Down + Home + Power Hold until phone powers up,
then release and press Volume Up to enter Download Mode)
Once in Download Mode, connect the USB/Charger cable to the phone and plug into the USB port on your computer.
You should now see a COM** port listed toward the top-left of Odin (under ID:COM)
Click on the PDA button in the middle-right area of Odin.
Browse to and select the Firmware you downloaded (TAR file)
Make sure Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time are the only options checked and that PDA is the only other thing checked.
TRIPLE CHECK your settings and that you have selected the correct firmware for your model phone and are using the correct options.
If you are using a laptop, make absolutely sure you are plugged in, or if on battery, that it is charged enough and will not go into sleep mode during flash.
Click Start to begin the flash. This will take a while, so be patient!
Once complete, in the top-left box in Odin, it will say PASS and the phone should have automatically rebooted.
You may unplug the phone and close Odin if you wish.
Wait at least 5-10 minutes for the system to boot the first time and then build its cache!
(It may seem to hang during boot, this is normal and you must be patient!!!)
Good Luck!

And Aerowinder, your solution is for CWM. I might want to go with that, CWM has been bat**** useful for me in the past with an older phone (Which was much much harder and used a completely different routine just to do this.

Ever since this phone came out, we've been using LGNPST. It's kind of a pain to get, but once you get it and setup, seems pretty easy to use.
This LGFlashTool has been mentioned off and on for other purposes/uses, but never (that I can remember) used for flashing phones to Factory.
Reading your Guide, LGFlashTool does seem to be more thorough, as it seems to wipe EVERYTHING, and you end up starting from scratch. ie Hands free activation proves that.
I think I just answered my own question. LGNPST is easy for the masses. Whereas LGFlashtool is better for REALLY wiping/cleaning up the phone. Almost more for shop work. If that makes sense.
Please don't take this wrong, I'm not being mean. I was just curious about it's use. And I just figured it out as I wrote this.
It's great to have another option. And nice writeup. Thanks

I keep trying to update using ota but keep getting the message that it's exceeded the maximum amount of updates. I've since installed kies in my PC But can't figure out what the next step is. Kies is reading my device but no update is taking place. I'm sure I'm missing something. Any help would be as always greatly appreciated.

Well, once you connect your device to your PC and run Kies 3 you should get a prompt that there is an update available. After that just follow the instructions, which are pretty much clicking Ok and I Agree. It is weird that you are not getting the prompt. Are you in the USA? Are you rooted? If you aren't having luck with Kies 3 or OTA updates, then you could try downloading the FW from one of the link in this forum and flashing it through ODIN.
Same thing for me, I get the option to accept terms, then it downloads firmware upgrade components then nothing. I've let it sit for awhile and still nothing. I don't have do anything other than connect it right? I mean I am typing this while it is sitting there connected and nothing.

I can access the files on the device. just not update.
I get the same "exceeded maximum number of updates..." message on the device.
uninstalled drivers, reinstalled drivers. . .
not a good start. . .
whats the maximum updates business?
samsung probably limit number of upgrades per days.
you should try to download image from mirors and use odin to flash it.
I do it yesterday (I'm not from USA) and my tablet is now running KK.
no wipe, all app working after flash, nothing to reconfigure.

Kies was not working before the update, wifi or usb.
I updated Kies while trying to get it to work.
Once I took the update on tablet OTA Kies worked via USB, havent tried wifi.
Have never used it before so I think I need to read some tutorials on how-to "do stuff" in kies.
