Evo rooting help hboot 2.18 2.3.5 gingerbread - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok i trying to do the htc dev method. ok i downloaded everything. i have my phone on charge only and debugging on. im still trying to unlock the bootloader. i get to the part where you have to go in to the command prompt. i enter what it says to enter and all it says is < waiting for device >. is the anything im doing wrong or anything i could do to fix it
PLEASE HELP

I've never done this method, so hopefully someone more knowledgeable will show up, but, seems I've read HTC sync must be uninstalled (not present) on your computer. But idk for sure.

Tried that but thanks for the idea
Still need help

Sounds like the Fastboot Drivers were not installed correctly. Try installing this exe file to your computer with your phone connected to it in Fasboot USB (FASTBOOT USB highlighed in red). Then see does the computer read the phone.

Trying to Root stuck on Fastboot

I'm trying to root my evo with the new release today of Revolutionary method. I've asked over and over and even sent PM to others who had the same problem but found a solution. And again NO HELP! so I wanted to ask here and see if anyone has a solution. Everything goes good until it gets to "waiting for fastboot". The phone reboots into recovery and fastboot usb is shown and it stays there. HELP PLEASE!!!!
Just a guess, but make sure to have the htc drivers installed. If you have the full htc sync installed you have to uninstall it. Hope this helps..
I do not have HTC sync installed I tried again and stuck on fastboot. I get a error message saying Android 1.0 not installed.

(Q) Phone stuck in bootloader, volume and power keys not working, cant connect to adb

Ok so the other day i turned my phone on and it went straight into the bootloader and the volume and power buttons arent responding. When i try to connect to adb it doesnt recognize that the phone is connected. I know i have adb set up right cause i can connaect my HD2 to it and it connects fine. I searched on here but couldnt find an answer and i dont wanna do anything that could make the situation worse. Does anyone know what i should do or is there a thread somewhere that would help me? Thanks
Anyone? I also have it rooted with eng-hboot and s-off and have been on CM7 for a while. I dont think its a prob with the wrong drivers either cause i have htc sync installed . I did try PDAnet but it fails at the last step and says something about failed to handshake.
Think i posted this in the wrong section.

Are you s-off or s-on? If it's s-off try putting an ruu as a pc10img.zip on your sdcard and flashing it through bootloader.
if that dont work......
Try removing your SD card, then see if you can get to recovery through the BL.
if that dont work......
You need adb. I'm not saying it will work but its worth a shot. If you don't know adb there is a guide in the dev section.
If you can get adb connected to your device after you adb shell into phone you can run "adb reboot recovery".
If you have the fastboot binary, type this in your computer's Terminal:
fastboot reboot

[Q] I think I messed up manual update, please help

Hi all,
My OTA update kept failing so I attempted a manual update to 4.04.
I missed updating the boot.img file. I did the system, recovery and radio then relocked the bootloader.
When I turn it on, it stays on the google splash screen. When I go into bootloader mode and try recovery mode, I get the red triangle. My computer does not seem to be recognizing the phone, I get the error: device not found.
Is there something I might try?
Thanks in advance

In fastboot mode (obviously), unlock the bootloader, flash the boot image, and leave the bootloader unlocked. Done.
Thanks for the quick repy efrant! A big question is how do I unlock the bootloader if my computer doesn't recognize the phone. I am getting "device not found" so I seem to be unable to unlock the bootloader in the first place.

So your GNex is booted in fastboot mode and your computer does not recognize it? If this is the case, it is likely a driver issue, and you should re-install.
It is normal that your GNex is not recognized by your computer when booted not in fastboot mode, when you can't boot.

Hey efrant ^^ I'll sort it out ^^ (if you don't mind)
Dude, chec my sig, all the drivers and tutorials needed, can be found in the Win8 thread.
Follow that tut. then the phone should be recognized. Then erase the phone With:
Code:
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
This ensures, that the flash is successful. If you don't erase first, it's likely, that the phone won't correctly write the files.
Then flash the files, with these codes:
Code:
fastboot flash boot (Always do this first) <Fille directory\file name.img>
fastboot flash system <Fille directory\file name.img>
fastboot flash recovery <Fille directory\file name.img>
DO NOT ERASE/FLASH userdata!! Do that, and you WILL lose ALL of your data!
If you want, I can help you, with tamviewer. I've helped a few people, this way It has always worked
Normally it does recognize the phone, but it doesn't seem to since I messed this up. I will try to re-install the drivers to see if that works. It is in fastboot mode, I hear the tone from the computer that something has connected when I reboot the fastboot, but it doesn't get recognized.

Go into the dev manager, and look for: Android 1.0
If you see that, then Update devuice drivers -> Select from a list -> Samsung ADB Interface
That should do the trick

***ERROR ERROR ERROR***
Phone not plugged in
OR
Driver not installed
OR

the pressing vol up button+power button also doesnt do anything, and the screen sticks to the white part for hours :/

ok...if you press power + volume up you will never get to hboot...it's volume + power down.
To get the cid number, just boot in hboot, choose fastboot and plug the phone until you see fastboot usb in red. Then open a cmd in the pc and type fastboot getvar all. INFOcidnum is the information u need to get the ruu,

Done, but with no luck. The computer recognizes that the phone has been connected (it beeps and shows "Android Phone - Android Bootloader Interface") but I can't access it like a disk drive.
When I try to run the RUU I get an error saying it can't connect to the USB port...
** I un-installed, then re-installed HTC Sync and it picked the phone up and installed the drivers. So i'm doing the RUU at the moment and all seems to be running sweet. Its just finished and re-starting for the first time in a couple of hours! **
I'll try this rooting thing again eh!

While using the ace hack dont install HTC sync use the drivers given in "*\tools\windrivers" folder
Most importantly Do not connect your computer to the internet As the driver manager checks for the latest drivers in microsoft website.. I was stuck there for a long time but nothing happened..
when ur not connected to internet it will take the drivers of "Android 1" which is already installed by installing "HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe" from "*\tools\windrivers" folder.
Comin back the boot screen. Only HTC was visible on the screen after rooting but started the Ace hack again which removed this problem
You'll have a more successful ROOT if you use Ubuntu or a Ubuntu Live CD as I assume your using Windows right ? I used Ubuntu and rooted first time with no problems.
Thanks very

i was in the exact same situation. All you have to do is connect your phone to your pc while its stuck on ''HTC'' boot screen. Wait for like a minute then use cmd and write 'adb reboot bootloader'. You should be able to fix it yourself from there
EDIT: doesnt work once bootloader is unlocked T_T im stuck on the white screen again...

my phone is stuck at the lg logo when i try to boot, when i try to go to download mode it shows the blue dots but windows, flash tool, nothing will recognize the phone as being plugged in, and not even the little sound windows makes when a usb device is plugged in, its been a little while so i cant remember EXACTLY what the last thing i did that bricked it was, something i did on command line with aboot something, i can try to dig it up if absolutely necessary but it would take some digging...when i try to boot into recovery it freezes at the "loading recovery screen, when i try to go to download mode it sticks at the blue dots and wont respond to anything, when i try to do a factory hard data reset it says "hard reset processing" or something similar then freezes there, ive tried reinstalling the drivers, using different pcs, read through countless threads, but have had no luck, any ideas what i can do to unbrick my brand new g2?? thanks in advance

with the phone off (completely), hold volume button (up i believe), and plug usb into computer. This should bring up download mode. If volume up doesnt work, try volume down. If you get just to the dots, then your download mode is broken.
was just about to start a new thread but didn't want to get into trouble..anyway I am in need of some assistance please.my ls980 has been bricked for some time now been searching all over the internet for a solution to be stuck back at square one.found this video on youtube which is pretty much exactly what my phone is doing.I have used lg flash tool to revert to stock and still nothing I lost root doing that but last night,I managed to regain root access I have no idea how but it happened when i clicked ioroot batch file i went into download mode and it stated bottom left ROOTED in red so i managed that but that is it still doing what is being shown in the video its on youtube
