OK so I was rooting evo for buddy and vefified 3 different PC36IMG recovery checksums but none will work inbootloader. will say parsing and just sit and sit. I searched around a bit before I asked this might be something simple as hell but I can't figure it out. Bootloader unlocked htcdev method and 2.18. Any help appreciated.
You could down grade the hboot to 2.16 and then root.....

I think you are right...the easiest way would be to dowgrade to 2.16 and root possibly with revolutionary that will flash CWM recovery...southusc, I would replace CWM at first chance with Amon RA recovery that brings less issues to potentially deal with.

Look im not trying to be mean but searching is usually your best bet. I am willing to bet your answer can be found in the first 4 pages of this forum. Try searching ENG Bootloader .

I believe the unrevoked forever does that for you but you have to select it.
from www.unrevoked.com
unrevoked forever is a tool to set your Android phone's security level to S-OFF. The security level is a flag stored on the radio; when the flag is S-OFF, the bootloader (HBOOT) will no longer check the signatures of firmware images before flashing them. This allows custom firmware images to be uploaded, including unsigned boot, recovery, splash1, and hboot images (as well as official images that have been modified). When the system is S-OFF, the NAND flash memory protection is also reduced; this allows all partitions (including /system) to be written to while the operating system is booted.
Great response REM

What are you trying to do, could you be more specific? Unrevoked gives you unlocked nand, so i'm not sure what problem your running into?
I used unrevoked..tried to install cyanogen n I get a error message
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
are you sure unrevoked worked, sometimes you have to do it a couple times....do you have superuser permissions? I would make sure unrevoked is correctly installed...also redownload your rom and make sure the download is completed successfully, i never dl to phone, always to pc...
I have superuser..I used unrevoked
should I use unrevoked forever

Boot the phone into bootloader and you should see S-ON or S-OFF. If you see S-OFF you have nand unlocked.

Yes, that is what I said earlier a couple posts up.
Ya can't flash cm6 directly from unrevoked you need eng boot and amon recovery to flash it. You are most likely nand unlocked but trying to flash through clockwork. Easy fix is download Rom manager from marketplace then choose change recovery or whatever it says. I haven't looked at it for aong time then choose amon ra recovery. Then do another nand backup because clockwork and amon don't really work together. Then you should be able to flash cm6 no problem. Though having already done this I would personally suggest vaelpak over cm6 its almost all aosp and everything on your phone will still be functional. Plus its just as snappy as cm6 and I seem to get a far greater battery life with it.

If you want to be able to install CM6 you need the ENG Bootloader.

my guess would be when you rooted your s boot is still on. it has to be off in order to flash non sense roms. try flashing caulkios http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745205
also go to settings then hardware information. what is your hardware version. once you have this power your phone off then turn it on by holding power down button and the power button this should boot you into bootloader. at top does it say supersonic blah blah blah s-off or s-on. also right below that gives hboot. 0.93.0000 is mine. once i know this i can help more. best guess is s boot is still on though.

i have searched and searched and cant seem to find an answer.
i just had to replace my launch day evo. and the new one has the newest 2.10 hboot.
is it possible to install a custom splash screen with 2.10 hboot?
any info would be awesome and thanks in advance.
Well u can't use fast boot commands with that hbot but I would say u could flash one that is packaged as a pc36img through the boot loader. U may have to be s-off though. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure. I have the eng boot loader and have never messed with 2.10 but I think that's how it works.

I am finally ready to root. I want to root for one purpose only......wifi hotspot. I know it has risk, but I'm eligible for an upgrade so worst case scenario.....I'll upgrade. I really don't want to, though.
Soo......I really don't want to try this if the risk is too great for bricking. But if the risk is minimal, then could someone tell me the best step by step guide out there? I'm not that savvy but follow directions well.
I have the very first EVO 4g that came out on June 4, 2010. I have upgraded to 2.3.5 ota. Baseband version 2.15.00.12.19, kennel version 2.6.35.10
Build number 4.67.651.3 XL239674 with software number 4.67.651.3. PRI version 2.33_003, PRL version 60687
Imho its hard to brick your evo and if all you want to do is use it for tether I wouldnt bother with the s-off process untill u get more advance in rooting..here's an awesome guide by captian_throwback make sure u think him

Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
Bricking is actually difficult to do unless your screwing around with your system lol. Its actually quite simple. After you root, you download a ROM(Its basically a UI and how the phone works) and then you Flash it(install it). Youl have a lot of terms to learn lol
I finally rooted mine today for the first time with 2.3.5 and h-boot 2.18 and I used HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader and I must say that it was a pain in the butt. I got it unlocked and tried using the PC36IMG.ZIP to install a Amon RA Recovery and it kept telling me that the main version is newer or something like that. I ended up having to use fastboot to flash the recovery image. Then after installing recovery I had to use the option in recovery to install superuser (really glad that was there)
Then after all that I found the thread using revolutionary plus to root h-boot 2.18 which I'm sure would have made it a lot easier.
I too just wanted root for one reason, to remove bloatware

You should first check your bootloader to see which root method you need.

rowity and
I'm currently using hboot 2.10.0001 with radio 2.15.00.11.19, I was using hboot hboot 2.18.0001 I read that I could downgrade my hboot to 2.10.0001 that way I can use unrevoked3 to root the phone. I followed all the instructions and used the boot unlocker from htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader and use captain throwbacks method. When I installed the pc36img.img from captain throwbacks guide it seemed to mess everything up. I don't have a custom recovery but I should have one at this point right? I am so confused. I have s-off but it says I don't have root. I did have HTC sync installed when I tried to root it the first time and it failed so I had to uninstall HTC sync.
I can't remember but shouldn't it be "PC36IMG.zip"..? Been a while since I rooted my phone.

Your radio is too new for unrevoked u need to bump your hboot up to 2.16 and use revolutionary.io I don't know any way to downgrade the radio with s-on so u can use unrevoked
