Alright you guys I'm not fully sure where to start but here we go. I had my EVO in 2.3.3 for quite a few months and the other day I tried to root it. I installed Revolutionary and I was almost done all I had to do was flash the recovery but no matter what I did I could not get it to work, it simply would not read off my sd card. So me being the noob that I am I thought upgrading to 2.3.5 would give me a clean slate and allow me to try a different method of rooting. But every tutorial I read about rooting 2.3.5 dealt with HBOOT being in 2.15-2.18 but Revolutionary is still on my phone and that left me with S-OFF HBOOT 6.16.1002. So the break down of all this is:
-I currently have an EVO 4G in 2.3.5
-With Revolutionary giving me HBOOT 6.16.1002 S-OFF
-I have no option that I know of to still root my phone
If ANYONE can give me a thorough step by step tutorial on how to still root my EVO I'd be beyond grateful. Thanks and sorry for the long post.
i have seen it in the past, but google how to manually flash the recovery through adb/fastboot.
Also you can download the sprint ruu software to restore ur hboot to an earlier version i believe, but im not positive, im just assuming so since it does change radio versions and such.
---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------
try using unrevoked as it may help you as it relys on radio version. Ive used it with success every time
Did you try redownloading the recovery file. Could of been a bad download?
You did rename it to PC36IMG right?
Also your phone is now s-off so thats a good thing. All you need to do is flash a recovery, make a nandroid backup. Then your off to flashing roms and kernels and then off to flashaholics anonymous! Lol

Can I still flash pc36img on 2.3.5???
Yes that is still what you call it.
As was mentioned you can get a recovery.img file and flash it through fastboot if you have SDK set up already.
I have had bad luck in walking people through these two steps. It is very hard to be sure it is right when not there in person.
I would suggest Amon Ra 2.3, his thread also has a pretty walk through on the different methods.

Your phone is already rooted so don't worry about trying to get that. It is already unlocked. First you need to get a custom recovery. Download this file:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0d1pir6ea2yqp0y/bRcbIfF2J1/PC36IMG-Amon-v3.11.zip
Rename it to exactly PC36IMG.zip (!!it is case sensitive!!). Place it on the main directory of your SD card (not in any folders). Pull battery out and put back in. Power on phone by holding in the volume- and power button until the phone boots to bootloader. It will automatically scan and find the file and ask you to apply. Say yes. Now you will have a custom recovery to flash a rom.
Wut he said ^^^^

Hey guys I'm new to this forum so please dont chew me out. I have a few questions about rooting my evo 4g on 2.2 froyo. I have done some extreme extensive research in the past week, and I have heard that unrEVOked methods are bad and cause alot of problems. Now im fully convinced that one-click methods are trashy because they dont even tell you what their methods are. So can someone in this forum please tell me whats the best updated ROOT method as of today? (thats not using unrevoked, simple root or any one click methods).
I'd like to know too!
This is my first dealings with a phone that has more than a camera on it (n00b). I pay for the $30 hot spot with sprint, but have been researching and found that you can do it by rooting your evo.
I backed up all my contacts to the sd card and copyed the sd to my pc. Installed htc sync and have pdanet. Thats it, I havent backed it up or anything.
Just got it so its 2.2, 3.30.651.2. I think I read some where that 3.30.651.2 cant be rooted if it was factory installed. Dont know the date of the thread i saw it on but is that true?
Any help about backing up before root would be great as well. Thanks a million

thats a one click method....is that for phones running froyo 2.2? how do i know if that method will work? thats only for phones running hboot 2.02 how do i know i have that?
IMO, some of the older revisions of unrevoked had some issues and that's what tainted their methods. The latest iteration is stable and I would recommend going with it if you are on 3.29.
3.30 requires the s-off method posted above.

Yeah, I've rooted 1 evo with the downgrade method and 3 with unrevoked. Unrevoked is faster and results are the same. Just follow the instructions carefully.
The only change I would make is download the amon ra 1.8.0 recovery .img (not the .zip) and in unrevoked before you start the flash, go to options and choose custom recovery and load the amon img. This way you'll be rooted with amon recovery not clockwork and you're all set.
the downgrade method was the one posted by dan wager (regaw_leinad) in late august right? So the link you posted is the latest one ?
Wait so, how do i get amon RA on my phone? am i supposed to get it after I root or during the root process? What about the nandroid backup? Can you tell me how to do that after i root? I know im supposed to download and flash the 2.2 rooted ROM and do a nandroid back up i think. I need a walk through =[

Yep that's the one. The link I posted is the guide for 3.29 unrevoked. Get the amon recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026.
You load that .img file into the unrevoked app before you connect your phone, there's an option for custom recovery. Once unrevoked is finished. You can boot into recovery and make your first nandroid. After that, time to play
bumppppppp
You don't need to flash anything when you're done. You will be rooted with your current stock set up. Just boot into recovery and go to backup to make a nandroid.
ok that makes sense.... I need amon RA to do a nandroid back up right? can you tell me the process for putting amon RA on the phone? Do i need to do it during the root process? or after? Is the link you provided the latest version of amon RA?
bumppppppppp
Ok, seriously, stop bumping the thread for no reason at all.
The instructions are clear in the links I have given you as well as what I have said in this thread in terms of loading amon ra into unrevoked. You are free to reset to factory defaults at any point if you want to, there isn't any need to do that, as if you ever want to return to complete stock, you can wipe at any point and flash a stock ROM. You get into recovery by powering on the phone and holding vol down.
Your first post says "I have done some extreme extensive research" - clearly you have not, if you had, you wouldn't be asking the questions you are.
This is my last post on this, go read more before you start rooting and screw something up.
Good luck.

Hey I need some help. I have been trying to reformat my phone with the original stock ROM but I cannot get the RUU to work. Every time that I try to use the RUU executable file to reinstall the original ROM it can't detect my phone. I really need help with this my phone is incapacitated right now. If someone could help me find a rom that I could use here that would be fantastic. Thanks
what happened that your phone is not working? are you rooted, s-off? what rom where u on b4?

It is S-Off and I am not sure if it is still rooted. I have been switching back and forth from the cyanogen mod and the stock rom, and I tried doing a system restore on the stock rom and it didn't really change anything but I don't think it can do root things anymore. It has been asking me to do a system update but every time I try to install it it fails.

Your failed update is probably due to your still having a modified recovery.
Something that could work for you:
>run the .exe for the RUU, then minimize it.
>start/run/type "%temp%" in the dialog box.
>search the output for rom.zip
>move the rom.zip to your sdcard and run it from hboot.
this should go through the rom installation and restore your rom. it's worked a couple times for me when I messed up recoveries.
Good luck!
BTW do you have HTC sync installed on your computer? not having that might be missing the driver for your phone.....just a thought
I tried extracting rom.zip out of the temp directory but the file was corrupted. Maybe the RUU doesn't work at all? I don't know. If you can get me a rom.zip that isn't corrupted that would be fantastic. Thanks!

Make sure SD card is formatted to fat32. Rename it so it is PB31IMG.zip(If on Windows and have fileextensions turned off rename it PB31IMG. The .zip will already be added.)
Put on root of SD card meaning not in any folders and boot into hboot. The phone will ask you to update, select yes and wait for it to ask you if you want to reboot.

To get s-on you need to have CW recovery. Wish you would have mentioned this before. You need to flash clockwork recovery again then apply the s-on. Then re run the previous PB31IMG.
Wow this is so freaking nuts. Ok so I tried running the S-ON .zip file that they provide using CW Recovery. Problem is now unrEVOked forever doesn't support my radio, radio-1.00.00.02.09. I will try to contact them unless you all have another idea. Thanks for your help so far!
If your still s-off you can flash a supported radio through Hboot much like the get back to stock PB31IMG you just ran. But if you ran the one I provided earlier you should be on a .92 hboot and a 2.15.00.07.28 radio, which is supported for s-on.
Here, download one of the ones that S-ON if compatible with and put it on the root of your sd card, and boot into hboot. Be sure its called PB31IMG.zip, or else it won't work.

Ok so I tried updating to a radio compatible with the unrEVOked S-ON update. When I try to run the file the recovery screen blacks out and then goes back to the main menu. It doesn't give me any output as to why that happened or if it even did anything.
You should flash RUUs from within HBOOT, not Recovery. An RUU includes everything from radio, to ROM, to recovery.
You can still do this with S-ON, since it is signed.
I'm not on the RUU I know how to install that. I need to use the S-ON .zip file that i got from unrevoked.com

You don't flash radios in recovery you flash radios in HBOOT. Make sure you rename the file to the proper filename then it should automatically detect it and install it.
Again like I said before, if you simply install the RUU from within HBOOT that would revert everything back to stock including the radio. Then you could run S-ON from within the stock recovery. But if you want to do it the other way so that you run the S-ON patch from within ClockWork that's fine too.
Haha well i have not explained things properly so let me explain where I am at right now very clearly.
Right now I have HBOOT updated using an RUU with a radio that unrEVOked forever works with. I have rooted and installed Clockwork Recovery. Now, I go to install the S-ON using Clockwork and then the screen blacks out and it returns to the Clockwork main menu without giving me any output.
Hopefully that clears things up
Ok sorry I thought you had trouble flashing the radio.
Yes I do believe the S-ON patch is installed within recovery, I just did it a few days ago and it worked fine. I was using the 7.28 radio. I believe I just did a normal .zip install in clockwork.
This sounds stupid, but make sure you're not pushing the power button. In ClockWork you have to push the optical pad to make selections, it's unlike HBOOT. I can't think of anything else.
Propibly a stupid question but i rooted my phone a while back and it is still s-on and i'm not sure if i'm going to s-off so i was wondering is it safe to use unrevoked again on my phone with out wiping data and cache and by that way flash cwm 3.0.0.5?
Oo and sorry for my english hope you understand what i'm trying to ask
You can't root an already rooted phone, doesn't work and can mess everything up so you have to start again, unless you go S-Off ofc.
I thought so
So i think i have to go s-off atleast to get the newest cwm.
But i don't know much about s-off and what i get from doing it so it's a bit scary
Try Rom-manager from the Market!
With it you can update, very easy now stress no need for s-off
But it is a temporary fake-flash - next time you reboot, you get the previous version.
For permanent update either S-OFF....
or some people said they succeeded with using the same version of unrEVOked for flashing the update, as the version they used for rooting. Just select a custom image.
Yes use unrevoked to flash it. No problem. Nandroid just in case.

If you want to know more about S-Off just look here. Just read everything carefully, when you have understood you can do it.
From doing it you will get several things. Of course you will be able to flash the recovery you want directly with fastboot. You will also be able to flash another radio or another hboot. In particular you could be interested in changing hboot if you want a different partition layout, everything is explained in the link above.

You should be able to access the recovery through the bootloader. If it was erased, you can flash whichever recovery you want by renaming it PC36IMG.zip, placing it on the root of your sdcard and the bootloader will auto-detect, and prompt you to flash.
Here is Amon Ra: http://db.tt/WP0beNa
And here is Clockwork, if you must: http://db.tt/9sksyTK
Both are named properly, follow the directions in the post above (just don't rename). You can then restore a nandroid backup or flash a new rom.

You did it the right way. Returned to stock, keeping it s-off and you just verified what I am always led to believe; Sprint doesn't even check the bootloader to see if you are s-on or off....

I'm so thankful that cmlusco had these simple words listed here. I was trying without success to flash a recovery via hboot.92 to no avail. I am s-off and rooted running tinys cm10.1. The problem started when i wanted to use twrp as a recovery. I tried installing that in android itself with goomanager. It said it was successful so tried to reboot into recovery. no dice. it now doesn't even have cwm recovery which was what i was trying to replace. it just goes back into hboot. so i thought, "ok, i'll just adb it" again either with shell in android or via fastboot in hboot it says remote failed. this one line he just wrote tells me that despite everything i have, i cannot install via hboot. The only thing that works is having a pb31img file to install it. the problem is, most recoveries come in .img. so I thought i could just repackage it as a zip and use the txt from another twrp i had previously gotten to work by way of a pb31img and create my own new pb31img with the newest version (the old one i had was already made by someone else and installs flawlessly). basically now i'm curious if i should just ask how to make the newest twrp into a proper pb31img file to flash (since i know this works) or is there an easy way to upgrade hboot.092 to 1.07? Any help on either of these or both subjects would be greatly appreciated. Just for the record cmlusco, am i right in thinking the reason i can't fastboot flash my recovery is because my loader is locked somehow despite being rooted and s-off? will upgrading to hboot 1.07 enable all of what i want to do? Also, what's the best way to go about doing this? I have everything i need backed up so no worries there. Thanks in advance to any and all help!

Correct you can not fastboot flash unless your bootloader is unlocked. Since your s-off you can update the bootloader by flashing this file http://dinc.does-it.net/Hboots/Hboot_1.07/PB31IMG.zip, thru hboot. Once updated, you can unlock it and then flash img files with fastboot.
However, here is the TWRP 2.4.1.0 PB31IMG.zip http://dinc.does-it.net/Recoveries/TWRP_2.4.1.0/PB31IMG.zip, if you dont want to update the bootloader. You may need to flash it two or three times to get it to take.

Any particular reason for having it locked? I have yet to update mine but i did download and organize the pb31 hboot img you gave me for possible future use ( if i feel the need). Other than the aformentioned advantage of flashing hboot via fasboot and adb, is there any other advantage of hboot 1.07? Thanks again guys, you make my life easier.

Not really, S-OFF should get you what you need. You only miss the ability to flash via fastboot without an unlocked HBOOT. PB31IMG.zip works fine with S-OFF.

I have never had the need to unlock it yet, but like having the ability if needed.
