Rooting - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to root in bootloader? Thanks.

Fairly certain i told you this before, but for gingerbread, go to revolutionary.io, install the driver, boot into the bootloader, connect as fastboot, follow the instructions.

No that type of PC36IMG won't work. Are you sure you have the revoultionary.io drivers installed?

Pretty sure you need Usb debugging on when you have it plugged in for revolutionary to read it

That's correct, though he can't get into the os because he bootloops. I'd say flash a new boot.img via fastboot, but he's having trouble getting the device to read.

I still think its a driver issue. Double check you have the revolutionary drivers installed.

Yes I looked in device manager when the phone is plugged in and HTC is there.

Try this PC36IMG file on your SD card
http://goo-inside.me/supersonic/ruu...15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.zip
It won't root your phone, but might get rid of the bootloop.

Ok hboot update.

it is a ruu file that you run from your pc to go back to stock "just out of the box". it may get rid of your issues. Thats the first thing I would try. dont worry about s-on or s-off and all that...just run it.

I renamed it to PC36IMG and flashed it from my sd card it updated the hboot and still bootlooping and it wasn't an rru file it was a zip file.

Did u flash any voltage lowering scripts like vipermod? Also are u now s-on or s-off? Since you are back to stock now and are still getting reboots, I would say u may be sol. Get it replaced

I think so. It's the same sdk version that I used during the rooting process.
check you hboot, does it say .79, or .76, that's the issue, we need to revert back to .76

[Q] Unrooting Issues, broken USB port.

I'm having issues unrooting. My USB port is broken (It will not even charge unless held in the right position), which is why I need to take my phone to the Sprint store to get repaired. I have already flashed the UnrEVOked s-on tool and that worked alright for me. The problem now is that whenever I try to flash the PC36IMG.zip through hboot, it will not recognize it. My hboot is version 0.93.0000. What can I do next? If any more information is needed, please let me know.
Thanks.
Idk bruhh, good luck with that tho.

What does "it will not recognize it" mean?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
By that I mean that when hboot loads, it will look for the PC36IMG's but it will just say "No Image!" underneath PC36IMG.zip.

Can you redownload the file, and double check that you have it named correctly?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I already tried that. I used 2 different mirrors and neither of them worked. MD5's were both good too. The names were correct also.
ok and you definitely renamed the file to PC36IMG.zip? I am just triple checking because that's a common thing people overlook sometimes. Or they don't realize they need to rename it. Or they forget that it must be put on the root of the sd card.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yeah, I know. But I've triple checked everything and it just does not seem to be working. I'm 100% positive that it's named PC36IMG.zip (yes, I've checked the file extension too) and it is in the root of my SD card.
Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried using nandroids but they didn't fix the fact that hboot doesn't recognize my PC36IMG (I was trying to downgrade updates to the phone, didn't work).

Bump. Does anyone know how to downgrade hboot?
When u rename the pc36img, the .zip is already there. Try taking the .zip off & boot into hboot. If it is named right & on the root of your sdcard it will load it.

Bricked EVO?

So I installed unrevoked [Followed step by step everything was fine]
Here's where I think I messed up (ROYALLY) I went into recovery and installed the freshEVO ROM from .zip and it installed but was stuck on the HTCEVO 4G screen, I waited like 15+min see if the install was slow, then I rebooted (took out battery) and cleared cache just did everything I think I could do to remove and now my phone is like bleh :[
Help please and thanks.

You can reroot if you want once you ruu'd your phone. Its entirely up to you.
It also could have just been a bad flash or a bad file

Just use the 3.70 RUU and you can reroot.
Yeah I press volume down and power then I go to recovery and it runs clockwork recovery, and that's about it

Then you can use caulkin's format all and then flash whatever ROM and kernel you want.
I would just run a RUU, 3.70, and then reroot.

Sorry one more question, so when I try to install the 3.70 RUU since it stays stuck on the htcEVO 4G screen.
On the part where is says to plug it in and power on I tried to run it normal and I also tried to run it VIA the HBOOT USB or whatever its called and it still wouldn't let me proceed

Rename the zip file PC36IMG and put it on the root of your sdcard and then boot into the bootloader and accept the update.
He has root if he has clockwork. Dude just install a rom.

I agree with riley you have clockwork no need to go back to square one. I had the same problem with fresh ROM. Get Sprint lovers its simple to use.

I would try flashing the stock Verizon 2.2 Froyo RUU from your computer and then try to root again. Make sure you have the USB debugging checked in menu/settings/applications/development before you try to root. That's what I would start with.
Also what OS are you using to do this?

This was my last step that I tried last night before bed. I downloaded the zip from Doug piston and renamed it PB31IMG, booting into hboot nothing happened. By that point my battery was dying so I gave up for the day. This morning I used astro to double check the zip. It was listed as PB31IMG only so I tried to rename it PB31IMG.zip. Astro said that file already exists so I left it as is. I tried hboot again and it says something so fast I can hardly read it. I tried to read it about 20 times but it happens so fast, I think I need to video it so I can pause it. But what I could make out it was looking for something other than PB31IMG.zip

Cant update DHD

Hey, I have a DHD, which I had rooted, and in order to get it to the stok rom, I flashed it to 2.3.3. it and unrooted it with market app(because my usb is not working, thats why I flashed to stock, so I can send it to HTC). However, I can still access bootloader with volume down + power, and I cant update my DHD, because after rebooting, the phone start in bootloader mode and doesnt update. When I choose the update file in bootloader, it shows some kind of error, but I dont think thats a problem with the update file, but with the bootloader not able to install that file.
Do you have any solutions on how I could update it, or hide the bootloader?
Thanks a lot
Can you explain what you are exactly trying to achieve? Does the device automatically go into bootloader when you boot the device?
Are you s-off?

Do you have a custom recovery? If you have you won't be able to do the OTA update as it requires stock Android recovery.

What will happen if I flash stock rom through the 4EXT? Will the bootloader still be accesible or not?
How do you charge your phone?
And if you flash stock rom trough recovery, bootloader will still be accessible and you will still have 4ext as recovery. I read somewhere that you could get the stock Android recovery from a RUU.EXE
