[Q] Help Root EVO Build 3.30.651.3

I have rooted my phone before but I don't what a custom ROM or kernel. I just want to root the phone to allow me to use setCPU and Wireless Tether.
I haven't been able to find anything that works. I tried the below link but my virus software will not allow me to save the files. I can't turn off the software (work computer).

Thanks for your help!

Turn phone off
Hold volume down and boot up into bootloader
Tell us what top two line on that white screen with skating androids says.
And post in q and a next time.

First of all this would belong in the question and answer forum. This is THE method to use. Looks like you will need access to another PC then.

yeah well you were following the right guide.
did you check your device manager while phone is plugged in to make sure drivers are all set?
maybe try the universal root by xHausx
he says it should work with 2.02 now.
just follow all instructions slowly. everyone has had success with the guide your first started to use.
let us know what you get. and always be very descriptive. Must explain everything in detail to get the best help.

Hey guys I was having some trouble with that too, I had rooted using unrevoked and unrooted with the s-on tool and a PC36IMG, I tried going back to root with the original method but the modified USB driver was already installed and unrevoked wouldn't work.
Don't ask me why but I accepted the OTA update and now trying to root with the method linked to above gives me an error at the last line of step 4, telling me rageagainstthecage cannot me found.
I was just wondering if there's any hope??? I'll take any root method you can suggest.
PS the root and unroot guides I used were from the droiddemos.com but evidently I cannot link to them until I reach 8 posts.

ive tried atleast 5+ different rooting methods but cant seem to get it.. i rooted my samsung moment easily as well as others but when it comes to this evo i cant do it.. i bricked it 2 times and to the point where i couldnt even flash the stock ruu anymore but luckily it was only 2 days since buying it so i was able to do a brand new swap and now i have my new evo #2 and havent touched it yet unless i got a fool proof rooting method.. Im not trying to go thru the bricking of this one to.. any input is thankful

[Q] Help with semi (maybe full??) Brick G2 after Visionary+

OK before i get SEARCH.. I did and here is what i have looked at so far (i am 3+ hours into my search)...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838484
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842495
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261
ANd a few others that link back to one of those 3.
This is not my phone. I am helping my buddy who attempted to perma-root his phone using Visionary+ 14. I have an evo, and several other android phones and understand the basics of ADB and how to do most this stuff.
After he applied the patch, we are stuck on the white HTC screen. The problem is, it does NOT have the ENG SPL, we are still s-ON and still have stock recovery.
Here is what i have attempted so far:
download and tried to have it reload PC10IMG.zip - Got an error that said the version i was trying to install was older than the one i already had. I downloaded the latest one i could find.
Since i can get into the stock recovery, i downloaded and tried to use update.zip to reinstall things correctly, but that didnt work. It didnt error out and looked like it installed correctly, but still just stuck at the white HTC screen.
I cannot access ADB (at least any way that i know how).
Yes, i have the correct USB drivers installed and ADB is working as i have accessed it for other phones.
Here is the phone stats:

I cannot find the right RUU to give that a try either. I have found a few that MIGHT be right, but i dont want to mess it up more by flashing the wrong thing (if this would even help.. i dunno)
ANY HELP WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED!!!!

Anyone?? Help????

You only posted a few hours ago. On a weekend. Might want to be a little more patient than that...
And you stated you have S-OFF? But not the engineering HBOOT? So were you using Visionary to temproot and then used gfree to get S-OFF? If so, you should be able to flash a custom PC10IMG with the radio removed (so it doesn't check for the version number). I know there is a thread containing one made by Hot_Hands that some people have used.
Or did you actually mean you had S-ON and that was just a typo? If that's the case, you're at the same point as a lot of others who have semi-bricked their device with Visionary (there are lots of threads out there with people describing this exact situation---phone had the OTA already, still S-ON, no ADB access, stuck at the HTC screen). Don't think anyone's come up with a solution yet. Most are just waiting and hoping that an RUU of 1.22 comes out at some point.
And just to make sure, you tried leaving the phone on for a while before connecting with ADB? And ADB didn't work in recovery either?

Good point!! Sorry.. just a little anxious. Dont want to tell him his phone is bricked....
Also... maybe no one responded cause i am a tard.... its s-ON still, not S-OFF

you mean leave it on the white HTC screen for a while? What is a while? I left it for a minute or 2 then tried and no dice... you think longer? Also, no ADB when in recovery (i think this is because its stock recovery maybe??)
i DO have access to fastboot (i think) but not sure if this gives us any where to go with it??
Sorry for the confusion and pushy-ness and thanks for your help!

Well, like I said before, this is the type of semi-brick that people seem to be stuck in when Visionary fails and I haven't seen a working solution. When I said to leave it at the HTC screen, it was just something mentioned in the how to recover semi-brick thread you linked to in the original post. Unfortunately, if that didn't work, you might by out of options.
EDIT: And oh, I forgot to mention about fastboot. Although it might seem like fastboot detects the phone properly, you cannot actually use it to flash anything unless you have the engineering HBOOT, so that doesn't help any.

Hmmm how do I do that? Is there a different way other than adb? I will check again but pretty sure I don't have adb access (I think this is what the eng spl does but I am just guessing here) does fastboot allow Me to do anything like that?

Everything I tried has failed, please advise

Hello, Having this WFS clogged with factory apps that leaves me with about 15MB of space is really annoying. I have tried multiple approaches to gain some control, but nothing has worked. Going to HTCDEV to unlock the boot-loader left me with a 130 error code, so I updated my drivers, sync and even installed the SDK and JDK files. Nope. Apparently my 2.3.4 version won't let me do any of it. I cannot even get to the flashing recovery step. Rooting and/or unlocking sounds nice, but I can't seem to even start either process. Can anyone give me some pointers in what to do to delete some of these factory apps? I have absolutely no control over my phone TIA.

I second that. There's a sticky with almost every important thread for the wfs linked at the top of the page. Recoveries/guides/kernels..... Something like that.

I think you should probably go to www.htcdev.com and use there unlock method. For what you want, its what you should do. I just reccomend this because soff can cause noobs problems, especially when SuperCID'd .... But i digress. htcdev allows for kernels roms recoveries and root

[Q] AAHK Failed..

hi folks,
i've just got a DHD from one of my friend which may or may not got the 2.3.5 originally. (could through update).. and then i decide to use AAHK in order to downgrade it ,root it so that it would be able to flash custom ROMS.
however, my machine DID downgrade to 2.2(maybe) and sucessfully got into the system,after couple settings, it continues to downgrade i guess? finally it says success etc. and i'd decide to turn to the HBOOT menu and discover.
what the AAHK DID changed is that the HBOOT Version changed to 0.85.0024 instead of 2.XX originally. and of course the date change as well, also the recovery was installed.
However, whatsmore worth notice is that it's still SHIP S-ON. I'd decide to ignore it and tried to turn on the device. but it stays at the first screen, which is the HTC one. moreover, i've decide to wipe data and cache in order to test again, fail.
furthermore, i've tried to flash one of my 4.0.3 ROMs and the machine replied success whereas the reboot also remain at the HTC screen .

Ok, let's just start from the beginning: The Hack didn´t fail, you in fact did to follow the instructions in the manual.
1) The downgrade from the 2.3.5 android version is always done to a 2.3.3 android version and 2.1 sense version. A froyo RUU will definetely mess your bootloader.
2) the downgrade is not the whole process but the first part. Once the downgrade is done you should have run the kit again to gain S-OFF and Root.
3) If you are S-ON you can't install a custom recovery, so there's something that is not correct in what you say.
4) Then u say that the device stays at the splash screen and that is HTC ONE, if you phone is the ONE you can´t use the Kit as it is just for ACE (Inspire / DHD).
5) Again, If you are S-ON you CAN´T flash a custom rom...
My advice is that u flash the RUU the Hack Kit used to do the downgrade, run it again and then, run the Hack Kit in order to gain S-OFF and Root. But this time, please follow the instructions in the effen manual....

no no... okay. its my problem of phrasing the sentense..
well.. i donno.. but the fact is i'm able to get into the recovery.. and my phone is definitely DHD..(sorry about my sentence)
and i tried to connect to the computer and redo the AAHK,,but the AAHK just don't recognises my phone 'cause it's the USB debugging is not on..(i'm not able to get in the system, i just use the fastboot..)

some help needed

Hello, so i have a HTC dhd which i rooted following a guide on here using the root method via htc site (sorry i cant remember the actual links)
That all worked well and flashed with clockwork mod and running with cyanogenmod 7.2.0
Since then i got a little bored and wanted to try some other custom roms, tried blackice, leedroid, paranoid android and a few others. All of which failed to actually run. Installed fine but would sit on Tmobile screen for 30+ mins.
So i then had a read a bit more and thought maybe i need s-off, tried that using AHK and that fails due too some problem flashing radio.
I cant flash any other radio either (or not ones i have been able to find).
Figured maybe ill try and install a stock RUU which i have 4 different versions.
RUU_Tube_HTC_Generic_1.11.0.0_Radio__release_203247_signed
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_TMO_UK_2.12.110.4_R_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_157560_signed
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.10.405.2_R_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_142828_signed
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed
all of these either fail to even start the install or get stuck at 18% and then end up with a failed updating ruu screen.
So im kind of stuck with cyanogenmod 7 at the moment and hence why i am here.
Hopefully its something dumb that i have or haven't done and will be easy to fix. At the moment id like to just return to sense rom and keep root.

Anything else you might need to know ill try and find it.
If anyone can help me get a working sense rom actually working or even return to stock so i can start again i would be greatfull.
Sorry if i have done something completely noobish.

try suing ace hack kit u can find it on the forums i had problems and used it now i can use any custom rom . just be sure that u turn ur virus checker off when u download , unpack and use it as it identifies 1 of the files as a virus , it isnt and wont harm ur comp but the file is needed to give u s-off hope this helps

hey thanks for the reply, i have tried ace hack kit (AHK) via ubuntu. Gives me an error of failed to downgrade radio, check cable, possible goldcard error. (or something similar to that)

If you used the htcdev, you need to relock the bootloader.
Sent from a dream.

if i rember rightly thres a gold card creator in the hack kit , my dhd was unbranded so i was lucky i didnt have to use it either that or look up making a gold card for dhd u should find 1 about i know when i was first rootin my dhd i made one but didnt need it

ill try that. i knew it would be something dumb that i hadnt or had done. hopefully this fixes it. thanks

so i tried to relock it which worked and then ran the hack kit again which froze after said it had downgraded radio. only thing i could do was battery out and reboot which then left me with a red ! managed to reflash clockworkmod but now every rom i try freezes on tmobile screen and im still s-on and all the same settings as i had before.
At the moment unable to use my phone as i cant get any roms to work.

You are gonna have to wait for someone more knowledgable to help you out.
On a side note: the ace hack kit was just pulled out from xda due to..... well, it's a long story. I don't know if the hack kit is a standalone program or if it connects to a server to do it's magic. Hold on to the program for now and wait for muikkuman (did I get your name right this time? ) glevitan and a few others.
Edit: do a search for your issue. It's there somewhere. I'll try to help you when I have a chance.

You need s-off to load roms. google how to make a gold card manually. it's fairly simple. boot into recovery and do a full wipe. then try to run AHK.

it was rooted, and running cyanogenmod fine. But thats all i could run until yesterday when it turns out that i had some eMMc problem which seems to have killed my phone. Back to htc it goes i guess and hope they can fix it

The RUUs that u are using are not for the DHD...HTC Bravo is desire but not Desire HD...if you flashed that, then you probably messed the device.

I dont think i ever actually flashed that one, the tmobile one for the desire hd froze at 18% and every custom rom never worked (ones for desire hd which i got from the desire hd forum here)
cyanogen mod did work until yesterday when i used AHK which seemed to have caused more issues than anything useful.
after some digging on here i found that the eMMC 'fried chip' was the problem and following some tips on how to fix it never worked. Took it to tmobile today said that i was trying to install a update from the htc site and it froze so they are sending it off to be fixed (hopefully)
