I am rooted and on fresh rom with s-on and hboot 0.79.00 . I want to flash new roms but i am not able to do so coz recovery is nt working.PLEASE HELP ME
Do you remember how you rooted. You either rooted with toast method (PC36IMG file), Simple Root, or Unrevoked?
I bought this off ebay so i have no idea how he rooted. Can you please guide me how to flash rom without recovery?
Busybox installed I hope, and latest version?

There are several different ways to go.
The quickest way (might not work and is just a temp fix) is to download, then unzip the zip file to EVO-RECOVERY folder on your computer. Boot the phone into RECOVERY (with the red triangle), then run the recovery-windows.bat file if you're running Windows on your computer and see does that do anything. Whether or not it works would tell me exactly how the phone was rooted.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38127313/EVO-recovery.zip
The phone is s-on, you're going to need to run unrevoked to gain s-off so you can flash a recovery. You can't flash any unofficial zips in hboot with s-on. Search for unrevoked and your hboot version to find the correct version of unrevoked to unlock the bootloader(hboot).

Toast Method 1 (only needed a PC36IMG file and a temp recovery) or the old Unrevoked (3.1 something, before unrevoked-forever was added). It did not need S-OFF for just flashing ROMs.

Good point. I rooted and S-off via toast right after launch. I guess if someone only did his first step it would look like that. Good point. Speaking of toast, I just threw up quotes of his latest post all over general subforum in all the threads where people are trying to decide if they want nexus or Evo LTE.
They locked the one X down like no tomorrow. Team win and toast can't get recovery to access USB for mount while in recovery. Making me lean nexus.

Did you ever try the EVO-RECOVERY download. No one said anything about pressing volume up and the power button. When you see the red triangle, do not do anything except run the recovery-windows.bat file on your computer (after extracting the files to the EVO-RECOVERY folder) to see if a recovery menu appears. I forgot to mention that the phone must be connected to the computer.
If that does not work, then you might want to go to the unrevoked site and follow their root instructions.

Perfect, the quickest way.
Download the attached files and place them on the root of your SD card.
Flash the unrevoked-forever from the temporary recovery menu that I gave you. That will turn the phone S-OFF.
Then run the PC36IMG file through the bootloader (power off the phone, then volume down +power buttons) and accept the update. That will give you the latest Amon permanent recovery. I also added the superuser.zip file in case you need to flash it (especially on stock ROM if you need it for superuser permissions).
Thank you Everyone
I found the problem and fixed it. Thank you everyone for helping me out.

No problem. I just tried to give you a work around to Toast Method 2 (I see the phone was rooted with Toast Method 1 only) which would also S-OFF the phone, but is more complicated.
You could have also used unrevoked, but you probably would needed to unroot first, then install the Hboot drivers, then run unrevoked (not to mention downloading all of those things) which would have taken some time.

Is there a way to unroot your phone without USB? My charging port is no longer working properly and a replacement is being sent to me. The phone will not connect to my computer anymore. Can someone please help me. Thank you.
If you used unrevoked forever, download this:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forever/current/unrevoked-forever-son.zip
Put it on your SD card (using a card reader)
If not (say you used the original ENG HBOOT root method), skip the above.
Download any of the RUUs that work with your phone (latest would be safest)
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic
Run the RUU (once it comes up with a screen warning you about possible consequences), search C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Temp\{series of characters}\{another series of characters} (assuming you are in windows vista or 7, otherwise path is c:\documents & settings\<your username>\Application Data\Local\Temp\{series of characters}\{another series of characters})
From there, grab rom.zip, rename to PC36IMG.zip (capitalization matters) and put it on SD card as well (using a card reader)
Exit the RUU utility (click "Cancel")
Reboot into recovery, flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip first (if you used unrevoked forever for root)
Reboot into bootloader (Vol Down + Power from phone off state), flash PC36IMG.zip when prompted
You are done

If I flashed an older ROM and then did the OTA Sprint update, will it unroot my phone?
Yes. If you flash an old Rom, then install an OTA update via Sprint, that should unroot your phone.

If you are flashing something other than official sprint rom, as of around 3.29+ most have forced disabled updates through HTC menu so that newbies don't accidentally take it and kill their root.
Why not just do what I detailed? If you didn't use unrevoked, you just need the PC36IMG.zip and you are set.

You don't flash a pc36img.zip.
It automatically loads through bootloader. Not recovery.
Just put it in root directory of your sd.
Power up while holding vol down. When asked, say yes to load update. You never go into recovery.

S-Off doesn't equal root. It takes the security off so you CAN root.
Flash the recovery, as posted, and then flash a ROM. The ROM have the root exploit in them and should all come with Superuser, which is what allows your programs to use the root exploit.

If you are having an issue just go through the root method again and this time say YES when they ask you about Clockwork. This is if you are having issues flashing a recovery. It wont hurt your phone.
Suggestion - If you are entering the world of rooting and flashing roms, one of the most important things or probably the most important is to read and read again then when you think you got it read one more time. Alot of info in xda. follow OP's instructions to the letter and you will be ok...

I have done it over and over .. watched the video posted in another thread. I have tried different su files posted and same thing. I can install custom roms and it works great. I have superuser icon in apps.. no apps listed.
rom manager says not rooted.
terminal says not rooted
Yeah, the process is get S-Off, which removes the security
Flash Recovery, so you can flash ROMS, Kernels, etc.
Flash A ROM, which will have root, system files, etc so that you have a setup to work with.
Think of it like setting up a new computer. Once you get the components, you have to format your hard drive so it'll hold the operating system.

1. You need to save the file onto the root of your SD card (i.e not in a folder)
2. Boot your phone into recovery by holding vol down and pressing power and using the volume buttons to navigate to recovery and pressing power to select recovery
3. In recovery navigate to install zip from SD card using the volume buttons and press the trackball to select it.
4. Navigate down to the file name and press the trackball to flash it.
5. Once its finished flashing navigate to reboot system now
Once this is done you should see the superuser app in the app drawer. You have root.

This phone was rooted already, then today I returned it to stock since the cyanogen7 that was on there did not... somehow... have the menu option to "update profile" I needed to change my phone number. I wanted to re-root, but I'm having trouble where to begin.
In the Power+Vol Down boot screen, it shows S-OFF, and HBOOT 2.10.0001
I cant make Revolutionary work because 2.15 is the lowest HBOOT it accepts.
If I choose the "recovery" option in that list, I get a black screen with a red triangle/exclamation point icon over an icon of the phone. I have to take the battery out to get the phone back on.
The phone does work, btw. But I miss the stuff I get when it's rooted. Anyway... what do I do now? How do I get the recovery/cyanogen7 on there if I cant get superuser permissions?
I used some other method back when I rooted this phone, but I haven't seen anything yet to spark my memory of the steps.
U are already s-off. No need for revolutionary. Go to dev thread and look for amon_ra recovery. Download it and follow directions to flash it. Then download whatever rom u want and flash that. The red triangle just means you have no recovery.
Support TrevE !!
I thought Revolutionary was how I got the custom recovery on the phone, which I need before I can root? I;d like to put CWM on there, since I have a paid version of Rom Manager already, and I believe they work together well.

You'll have to uninstall rom manager as you need CWM recovery. To back up, simply backup all your apps and data in tb, boot into recovery, select nandroid restore/backup, selecet backup, and you NEED the first 3 checked [boot, system, data]. Also if its your first, backup wimax as well, then copy it to your pc for safe keeping, in case you ever lost your wimax keys.

There is no reason to "upgrade" to revolutionary. Unrevoked is the same thing as revo. Just unrevoked doesnt work with the newer hboots. If your already s-off in bootloader there is no difference. U can use any rom regardless if u used revo or unrevoked. The whole object of rooting is to get s-off. Once you have it there is nothing more you can do. Ive used both on unrevoked on my original evo. And revo on my newer refurb. There basically the same. Easy auto root pretty much.

I'd uninstall them, the install the unrevoked drivers.
I rooted my phone via the tacoroot method then i ran revolutionary and achieved s off. Now I am confused because the phone does not have super user on it and root checker says i am not properly rooted. when i boot into recovery I see
Revolutionary
Vivow_xb ship s-off rl
hboot 6.13.1002
Radio-1.09.01.1111
My question is why dont i have super user since I am soff. I thought super user downloaded with revolutionary. anyway I am hoping for a little guidance.

Flash a recovery through fast boot and then flash a su.zip or just simply download from the market

When I try to go into fastboot it just starts trying to download some update. It says
Sd checking
Loading (pg32diag.zip)
No image!
Loading (pg32diag)
It does not really let me do anything it just asks if I want to continue with the update or not I cant do anything else.
Have you flashed a recovery? It sounds like you aren't in a recovery but are in the bootloader.

I have not flashed a recovery. Could you walk me through it so I don't screw it up?

I got all the way through the codes and ran revolutionary and when it says do you want to install cwm i said yes it worked for a bit and then the phone booted up and everything, but i dont have super user or cwm on the phone.
Have you installed a custom ROM? Have you booted into CWM recovery? Do you still have the P32IMG.zip on your SD card?

No custom rom, cant boot into cwm recovery, and i believe the zip is still on my sd card
this may be a stupid question but did I need to do anything with the vhwk files like I did on my first dinc2? I never used those files this time because I was thinking the process was different with the taco root method.
If you've gone through Tacoroot and Revolutionary (which it appears you have) and have installed CWM, you still need to install SU. You can't select Recovery from HBoot? You may need to move the P32IMG.zip files from the root of your SD card and reboot. It should allow you into Recovery to flash SU.

When I select recovery from hboot it takes me to a screen with a pic of a phone and a red triangle with a exclamation mark.

That means you don't have a recovery flashed.

Downloading recovery of your choice locate it on your pc and go on flash boot, then open up command prompt on your pc locate cmd to where recovery is at and push recovery with what I believe is the command like
Fastboot flash recovery.img

Its just not working, anyone have a more dumbed down way of telling me how to get cwm to work?
Got it! I finally got it figured out, thanks to everyone that helped me through it, I love the xda community. Thanks again everyone!
