Rooting the evo

hey guys, my girlfriend just bought a new evo that has the gingerbread ota already installed. i want to root it and install a gingerbread rom (synergy to be specific). i understand that i need to revert back to froyo first, and then i plan on using the auto root from here--> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448. my question is whats the best way to revert to an older ruu? i did it on my thunderbolt by just flashing in cwm but i was already rooted. ive read something about using fastboot but ive never done anything with that on my thunderbolt, so could someone point me in the right direction?
edit: did some more research, turns out the new hboot wont allow you to downgrade an ruu, and there's currently no way to install an older hboot. looks like im stuck waiting( well actually she is, i can still enjoy my root )

turn off phone completely (pull battery) press power button and volume down at same time. Thats brings you to Hboot. if there is S-on at the top of the screen somewhere just reboot and wait until someone comes up with a definate method of rooting the 2.3.3 otherwise you might look like a fool by breaking ur gf new phone.

haha my thoughts exactly. and unless sprint ships there phones pre-rooted im gonna assume its still s-on since i havent touched it yet lol

haha yeah i just got my phone today and its so stupid how they force their OS on you. You cant even shut the phone off without pulling the battery (the power off in the menu just puts it to sleep so it boots up quickly when u power on). Hopefully someone can save us from this non rooted nightmare soon.

Another way to get s-off is to put the phone on the stage at a strip club. Them exotics dancers can help you get it off...lmao

It sounds like you still have fast boot on. Just go into settings and applications the unchecked fastboot. Then it'll turn all the way off.

help i've bricked my phone

Sorry, i'm a noob at all this. a friend of mine asked if i could debrand his htc wildfire s. i followed on of the guides on here, cant remember which. i unlocked the bootloader and put on a europe generic rom. i was hoping this would remove the simlock. as probably expected, it didn't. he bought a code on ebay to unlock the simlock on the phone. the code was entered and it seem to work but when a sim was put in, the phone was saying sim wont allow connection to this network.
i followed various methods on here to try and cure this, but again, no go. so i bought a xtc clip to see if this would work and it didn't. so i tried various roms to see if this was the problem.
in the end someone said it was the radio rom. i updated that and the phone turned off and now wont turn on. when i plug it it there is just an orange flashing light and no response from the phone at all.
Is there anything i can do to fix this or is it totally bricked. if it is, can it be fixed cheaper than buying new.
sorry if this has been covered already but i've been trawling the internet for so long it's done my head in.
any help will be apprieciated
thanks

The xtc clip definitely should have done it for you.
Remove and replace the battery, press volume down and power, what happens?
Is it important how I sent this?

Nothing happens when i do that. I can't even get into bootloader. The only time i can get my computer to recognise my phone is to power on my phone while holding both volume buttons Dow. This makes the phone vibrate 5 times. Then when i plug it in to my computer it tries installing drivers. Something like qualcomm drivers. At work at no so can't say the exact name.
As for the clip working, that's what i thought. Thanks for replying

I downloaded the rmm from the link provided. Started the program and did the search in the temp folder for rom.zip. copied that to the goldcard and renamed to pg76img. Put goldcard in phone and started the phone by pressing both volume buttons and the power button. (This is the only way i can get 5 vibrations from the phone. And the orange light is on constant.) I pressed the up button and waited about 5 mins. Pressed up again and waited another 5 mins. Pressed up again. Waited. And still nothing. Sorry if I'm being a pain.

Ok this method doesn't always work, so if you have your warranty then go and claim it.

Ok thanks for trying to help. Not sure about warranty though as the bootloader was unlocked. They said warranty would be void.
Sorry, one more thing, where can i get the qaulcomm drivers from? Cos when i try and connect phone after the 5 vibrates my computer tries istalling these but i cant find them. Thanks again.

Galaxy S3 Won't Power On

Hi , I'm having problems with my Galaxy T999. I have rooted and have not yet installed any kernels/roms. The only thing i did was installed a couple apps from the play store . and wanted to check out the CWM recovery menu and was going to try to installed "hyperX camera mod". First thing i did was shut off the phone . Then pressed on the Volume up+Home+Power button . After doing that my phone didn't turn on or anything , no vibration or anything . I hooked it on with my computer and press the power button and it was able to connect and then disconnected. I am at lost now and can't seem to find any answer . Have looked every where not sure what to do now. Any solution will be much appreciated .
***
It seems to disconnect due to no driver found for QHUSUB_DLOAD .
Without any solutions I'll probably gonna get my phone replace . T_T

Does your phone disconnect immediately, or does it stay connected for a brief amount of time? If it stays connected briefly, try using adb during this period to boot into recovery. The command is "adb reboot recovery" (without the quotes).

Try to remove your battery then plug in charger. See if you can turn on. If you can turn it on, leave it 30 minutes. Then put in the battery.

By the looks of the result the computer gives you when you plug it in, seems it is hard bricked! Are you sure you didn't flash anything from the I9300 section like a rom?

The hyper x camera mod isnt entirely for our phone. I've read that it's flashable to our phone though, so I'm not sure what's going on here. Maybe the OP needs to link where he got the mod. Ih and stay away from the intl version all together.

Yup its a paperweight. The Intl version has the system partition in a different place. So you borked an important one.

Only thing that's throwing me off is that the OP suggests he didn't actually get around to flashing the mod.

SGS3 T999v wont start up.
My sgs3 t999v would turn off by itself every other time I hit the lock button.
like I would be txting and then if I hit the lock button it would turn off.
So I though a factory reset would fix the problem. (volume up + home).
after the reset it still kept turning off randomly.
and now I cant even get it to the normal interface. or get in to the manual reset mode.
Device was previously jail broken, however was returned back to stock and was working fine for 3 months.
I had my otterbox on for every fall my phone had, so I dont think it would be a hardware issue.
the phone was running 4.1.1 I believe.
stock rom.
help please! :C

Can you get download mode? (Volume down, HOME and power)
Even though you have a case on it, it sounds like it was probably damaged by one of the falls. Most cases as far as I'm aware mostly protect the display. The shock from impact can still damage internal components, even with a case built with this in mind.

Hey thanks for replying!
I drained the battery and got a new charge in it and managed to get it booted up
however now the problem of the lock button is still here.
like if i use it to lock my screen it just turns off on me, and it takes multiple times for me to get the phone up and running again.

you could see if you could find a widget or widgets that will basically put a button on your screen that can power off, enable lock screen, reboot recovery/download, etc.
Then just use the HOME button to turn the screen back on.
It sounds to me like a hardware problem, but if you can flash another Rom and do a full wipe/factory reset you'll know for sure.
I hope this helps. Not sure what else you can do besides getting it repaired or replaced unfortunately.
Maybe someone else will have a better idea though.

[Q] dead phone after Jiedi Master 16 ROM flash

Hi All,
I tried to flash Jedi Master 16 ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1958230 to my ATT unlocked E980 LGGP for T-Mobile. Now the phone is dead, i.e. not responding to anything. Please please help.
Rooting and installing recovering image, Optimus G Pro How to get ClockworkMod CWM and make a backup | LG Optimus Forums - Android Optimus Forums
were successful. Flashed the stock Jedi Master 16 ROM (no change to the zip) all seemed fine till the installer prompt me to reboot with successful installation message displayed. After confirming rebooting, the phone is no longer responsive. Battery is fully charged before I left it alone over night (~6hrs). Battery still had full voltage in the morning. Battery pulled/reinserted a couple times, volume down+home+power pressed many times. Phone still does not respond at all. Connected to the computer, and the computer said the device driver installation failed.
Searched everywhere and found mentioned "deep sleep" symptom. However, battery was not drained. The so called "bricked" seems to referring to looping in booting. Mine is simple not responding to anything at all with or without battery in, with or without wall charger connected, no matter what key/keys pressed.
I suspect that I should have put the right modem file into the Jedi Master 16 zip file.
Please help and thank you in advance.

I'm not even sure what to say.. Why the hell would you install a Samsung Note 2 ROM on your E980???
Can you at least get into recovery mode?
Pull battery then put back in
Hold vol-up+power+home until it passes the lg logo and goes black then release.
Are you in clockworkmod recovery?

My bad. Thought Jedi X is Note 2 specific and Jedi Master is somewhat generic.
Phone won't even boot. Screen is off, and no LED lights/sign of life anywhere with the battery trick and vol-up/down + power + home trick.
When the battery pulled and USB powered, the back and menu led flashed (white) once. Then no more sign of life no matter what key(s) + power buttons combo press.

if that works and you're back on stock then root and after that you have to use FreeGee to install a loki recovery..i suggest the cwm one. just make sure to select unlock security etc

I understand what I should do after the phone boots up. Thank a lot for the resources.
However, I am stuck with how to make the phone boot. Is there a hardware reset button?
Methods tried so far:
1. Pull and reinsert battery, then press power button.
2. Pull and reinsert battery, then press (vol-up/down) + (camera shutter) + (home) + (power button).
3. Left the phone alone for 6hr (no USB charging). Battery is at full voltage (4.12v). Then following step 1 or 2.

Dude you need to simply do this. Pull battery, put battery back in, hook to computer and while plugging in the cable to your phone, hold volume up and down. If you see the 'download mode' box in the middle of the screen, YOURE SAVED, IF NOT THEN YOURE ****ED!
Never flash anything unless you know what you're doing. I seriously advise you to do a serious amount of reading before ampting any flashing if anything!

I dont think there is such thing as a Jtag repair for this phone, if there is no one knows yet.

Methinks the former. The OP took a "parts is parts" approach to Android and made an expensive mistake.

Unbricked
My phone is finally unbricked using JTAG thanks to this man!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-LG-N...364?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f2334d40c
Everything is bright and shine except the partition table is screwed up where all apps (like camera app) see there is no space in the internal sd card. Waiting on the external micro sd card to arrive. Hopefully that will make the phone usable (beyond just browsing and installing apps).
In this stage, I can't even root it since the rooter can't write onto the internal memory space. And Android Partition Manager Pro, who requires the phone to be rooted at first, won't help either.
Does any one know how to repartition without rooting? Thanks a lot.
