[Q] Unrevoked Issue - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I started to download unrevoked onto my Evo, but the cable became disconnected.. Now, when I try to use the Unrevoked program to "reload" the program, it just sits there and does not seem to recognize that my device is connected... I do have debugging mode on, as per the instructions. Revolutionary also just waits to recognize the device. The device is recognized, as the evo tells me the debugging mode is on when the cable is plugged in.,,,
What can I do to solve this issue??? I just want to root my phone... Thanks!!!:crying:
Any other suggestions for rooting appreciated!

Hi Diva64, how far did you get in the process before the usb came unplugged? Are you able to just reboot your phone and start again? Any other information you can give to pin point what stage it went wrong and what your phone is doing, or not doing will help me walk you through the rooting process.

Thanks jOst..
I got probably about 75% of the download. The phone is acting fine... I was able to just continue on as if nothing happened.... the problem is when trying to "redownload" the revolutionary program onto the evo via the windows popup program. ... the windows computer program pops up, but says it is waiting for the device to be connected.
When I connect the evo, the notification bar tells me debugging mode is on, but nothing else happens on the evo or the windows program. I did try rebooting the phone w/no problem, and I cleared the application cache, thinking that maybe the evo thinks the download occurred... Again, the phone itself works fine in stock mode... Hope this provides some clarification! Thanks for your help!

Any help would be appreciated!! Anybody??? Thanks!!!

hey Diva64,
sorry it took a min to get back to you. Glad to hear your phone is able to go through round two..lol, ok. I have ran a virtual machine numerous times and have found these basic failures, basically to do with wrong drivers or lack there of....question...do you have htc sync installed on the pc you are rooting from? if yes, remove and go to root method.... if no, question two. Do you have the diagnostic drivers installed for your phone yet? if no, google search diag evo drivers and install. (will give more instructions as you define what or what is not missing. ) if yes, question three. did you verify the checksum of your downloaded unrevoked.exe. possibly corrupted files is why i ask. if no, check by going to download page and look for sum. after redownloading, match the sum from your pc to what is listed on the dl page. let me know what you find.

Still not rooting
I was able to make some progress.. to the point that the screen on the computer tells me it is "rooting..." it does this for a few minutes, then I get an error screen telling me "error: Failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?"
My Phone is an Evo 4g (NOT lte)
Sprint
Supersonic EVT 3 Ship S - ON
Hboot 2.16.0001
Android 2.3.3
What should I do next? Thanks!!!

You should be using Revolutionary, not Unrevoked. Unrevoked is for older Hboots. Been awhile since I used it, so not sure how much help I can offer. Biggest thing to me was making sure I had the drivers installed that are in the Revolutionary guide. Everything else was a cinch.

[Q] Applying RUU update to stock phone

Currently using the Dinc with stock. Unfortunately, I can not root because of business.
I'm having a problem installing the RUU. I connect the Dinc to my computer (W7 64bit) and run the RUU. (I have HTC Sync installed).
When I run the RUU, it will see the phone and it will begin updating. At the point where it restarts the bootloader, the screen on my Dinc will turn black and restart and then appear with HTC.
At this point it will hang and the computer attempts a driver search causing the error 171 - Not able to connect with USB cable.
Can anyone provide any assistance with this? Greatly appreciated!
Sorry if this is confusing but i couldn't find the thread on XDA on the alternate method.

Step 6 is the end for installing just the update and no root.

this happened to me. windows 7x64 did not like the driver switching mid process from android to bootloader, so basically here is what i did.
leave the phone connected (it should have black screen with htc logo). once u get the 171, exit the RUU (if u havent restarted the pc ever, now is a good time - if u restart pc, disconnect phone, battery pop it to get it to boot)
now run the RUU, again u will get the 171 and the phone will be black with htc on it. just exit the RUU and re run the RUU, this time it will run the full process.

PC thinks phone keeps UNPLUGGING and PLUGGING

I've installed what I think to be are the proper drivers for the EVO 4G onto my Windows 7 64bit PC. While connected, however, despite the mode (HTC Sync, disk drive, etc.) the computer keeps "thinking" that the phone is continuously being plugged in and out. Any ideas how to fix this? Any proper drivers or a link to them that could solve this issue?
I'm basically trying to re-root after an unrevoked root awhile back and, unfortunately, since an OTA Gingerbread update.
About to try a VM of a fresh XP install with the said drivers and try that way...
So far the VM is also intermittently disconnecting the EVO 4G from it's recognition. What the hell? It recognizes it, disconnects it, recognizes it, disconnects it... with no pattern or rhythm whatsoever. What the hell's going on? I used both Win 7 and a FRESH install of XP on a virtual machine. I don't get it.

If you read the OP, he's on the stock GB OTA, and trying to root his phone.

If you rooted with unrevoked and didn't s-on then you may still be s-off and only have to flash recovery.
It may not be the computer, it could be the phone's charging port or your USB cable. Mine is loose, I have to hold the phone above the USB cable, our with the cable pointing upwards into the charging port sometimes.
If that doesn't work, try a different computer or cable. If it does the same on a different computer then you know it's not the computer.

fortunately, using the new revolutionary method, the phone was able to "stay connected" long enough for root (yay0r!). anyhow, it wouldn't stay on long enough to flash clockword mod but whatevz. since i was able to get S-OFF, i just flashed the alternate recovery (amron ra, i think?) through adb on my mac. all good to go. thanks for your replies, however.
back to the point, i did try another USB port on the same PC and no luck. even tried a different cable. i still don't know why that was happening but i'm now rooted, which was my goal. running cyanogenmod7 w/goodies like the transparent google search bar and lovin' it - should definitely hold me over until the sexy galaxy nexy comes out soon. thanks all and happy holidays!
@plainjane: by the way, i had to RUU*.exe from unrevoked root to get back to factory settings because i had an issue i had to take the phone in for, so it reverted back to S-ON prior to my reroot last night.
In the future, you don't have to unroot to take your phone to Sprint. Just flash a Stock/Rooted ROM
Better yet, EVERYONE should have a nandroid of their phone, stock, right after rooting

Help with root? Exploit says phone isnt found but usb is connected

Hello everyone, before I say anything I want to apologize in advance if this is the wrong area of the forums for me to be posting this, but I'm kind of in a rush so I thought I'd ask some pro's 'cus I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong. Anyway..
I just got my Samsung Epic replaced because it was screwing up, and I came home today and tried rooting it. I actually just got finished spending almost two hours trying to find out where I was going wrong, but came up with nothing. I downloaded the samsung drivers 32 bit for this hp mini lap top and installed them. I got the one click root exploit, extracted etc... So I run the exploit and when it says waiting for my phone to reconnect, it waits 60 seconds and says root could not be obtained after 60 seconds, make sure your phone is connected and try again if adb shell isn't root, reboot phone and run the script again or something like that. No matter what I do it ends up saying that my phone isn't connected but on my phone it clearly says that the usb is connected.
I don't know if this is common or not, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming your phone is on 2.3.5 gingerbread so oneclickroot doesn't work. You'll need to odin in a custom kernel and then odin in a custom recovery ie. Clockwork Mod or Acs Recovery. Once that's done just flash a custom Rom or just flash a superuser.zip. if you don't know how to do this search qbking on youtube best tutorials around.

Fully Bricked Galaxy Nexus! HELP!

Okay so my friend bricked his galaxy nexus (Gave it to me because he said its bricked) of course i accepted it lol. But i tried to fix it i did everything i could from reading forums i swear i have worked forever looking for a fix. It is completely unresponsive no download mode. no ADB connection because when it plugs into a computer it shows up as OMAP 4440 or something like that. i have tried all kinds of different drivers and i have tried on multiple computers (Xp, Windows7, even a mac) he said he was flashing the sdcard or something and unplugged it by accident. So i could understand that being a issue since the phone only has a internal sd card. Anyone know how to get it back? i havent seen a Jtag yet for it and i have a Jig for my Galaxy Sii Skyrocket but it doesnt work on the nexus (FYI to anyone out there the jig works on my dads samsung windows phone) HELP!
You tried different drivers? You should just use the most current ones for the phone. Did you try the new toolkit mskip posted? Did you isntall the SDK?

Thanks for the response i didnt use mskips i dont think. i have tried the galaxy nexus toolkit 6.0 or whatever but i have tried all kinds of drivers including the google official galaxy nexus i515 or something like that. it shows up as omap 4440 in app manager and disconnects and connects constantly then says device didnt install properly. what do you mean by the sdk? i cant find any way to access my phone. i think i tried something with sdk but im not sure
Yes i read up i did do that GNex Toolkit v6.0 and it wouldnt find my phone (Because of the omap 4440 disconnect and reconnect thing i believe.
First off, on't use a toolkit.
Second, when you plug it in, go to device manager, right click the "OMAP 4460" and click install driver. Either install PDANet or find the driver online and your phone should be able to be used in fastboot.
Finally, if your (Or your friends) phone was "Fully Bricked" it wouldn't be recognized by the computer, it wouldn't turn on, it would literally not be able to do anything except sit there, the fact that the computer sees it means that it is "Soft Bricked" which is much less serious.

I couldn't get PDAnet to work for me either. It asks you to enter Debugging mode and I can't get into android
I cant get into android neither thats the problem... it is unresponsive except for the fact that it says omap 4440 over and over. im gonna play with it more when i get home but im currently in school. LOL

I can get mine into CWM, but whenever I'm flashing a ROM, it reboots itself.
Install PDANet and when it asks for your phone, go into Task Manager and force close the process. This will keep the driver/program installed without needing your phone and it should then be seen in recovery.
Not working still :/
Thanks for highjacking my post twinky lol. i have seen the answer to yours around... google a little more.

Please Help!
My phone goes into boot loader and download mode however every time I flash Stock it finishes successfully and goes to the same google screen its always stuck on. I'm kinda a n00b so if anyone could help me with this (try to have a lot of detail) I would be grateful. Thanks
It sounds like what I did to my Galaxy Note before I bought my Nexus. When unrooting I overwrote my bootloader with a missed character through ADB. I tried everything, naked drivers, ODIN, all it would come up with was OMAP on the PC. I ended up having to return it to AT&T. Ask him if he was trying to root it the old way through ADB.

samiaziz, make sure you're wiping everything before flashing a stock rom. It wouldn't hurt to wipe system, cache and dalvik and then restart recovery (in advanced menu) and wipe again before flashing the stock rom.
Ok, as long as it shows up, it's still working
OMAP440 is the processor, which means, that is is working, but the bootloader is corrupt, or missing. I'd say it's corrupt (Flash-error)
The best way I've found, check this website: http://www.mobiletechvideos.com and see if they have a JTAG solution... (My JTAG device will arrive in a few weeks )
Even if they don't, send it in, and they'll figure out a way to do that I think they do some special offer, if you send it in for testing purposes...
But, other than that, there's no way I can help you. The firmware is completely fu**ed...
Tried That
I have already tried getting into recovery but that dosnt work. it takes me to the google splash screen
2 words: fastboot, linux.
sent from my i9250
Instead of JTAG-ing it, you could always try this. The maker of the Riffbox JTAG has come out with a solution for unbricking by reflashing the OMAP processor.. Aptly named OMAPFlash.
I've used it with success several times, but also had it fail on me. It can't hurt though, if your phone is already bricked.
If it's coming up with OMAP4460 (even briefly) when the phone is plugged into your computer without a battery, you are able to run the program. You just need to install the drivers for it.

I am trying to root the LG G# running on 5.0.1. I have tried every [email protected]#$%^ way and I am pissed. I tried it this way ..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3129197 , one way script way.with the LGoneclickroottool or whatever the name is and it gets all the way to 100% but the Root checker app says its not rooted. I encountered a few errors first it was the PTP ,it would get stuck at 90% then I switched to MTP and it reached 100%.
I noticed that everytime I unplug the phone or switch between MTP or PTP the phone makes a sound and it says its installing drivers again. Could that be the problem?
I need some help with this , I have been trying for 3 fu$#@%^ hours and I cant get it to work.

Seems your in a pickle.. I used this site and it worked http://lgg3root.com/
Also plug it in and if you are PC savvy look in the device manager and see if its listed. If it is remove it (it may be listed as unknown device). then unplug the phone reinstall the driver then plug it back in and try the root method again. Hope this helps! sorry no one else is bothering to even give a helping hand.
