[Q] Help. I'm stuck in the middle of a root of my evo via linux terminal/ adb

So I'm not fluent in the linux terminal. I'm basically illiterate, deaf and dumb. So here I am trying to root using toasts tutorial, How To Root The HTC EVO ~ Part-1 \0/
the forum won't let me post links yet., and apparently the software here thinks some part of the code I'm posting is a link.
Anyway I'm at this step,
- At this point it will boot into a rooted rom.
- YOU ARE NOW ROOT!!!
- rename the PC36IMG.zip on your sdcard:
- plug your phone into a usb port on your desktop and do:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I may be root but I had a problem and had to redo this step... my sdcard was not being recognized. After reflashing/ updating I was able to access it again.
Now this rename the zip file step... I'm thinking if I rename it the code I'm supposed to enter isn't going to work. What should I rename it to?
How should I enter this code? first off my sd card isn't called sdcard it's called an 8 digit number.
I tried this (can't post the code for some reason) without changing the name of the zip file. I'm thinking I don't have the locations right because I know the file is in there.
I need some direction to get to the next step.
Thanks

Mods please move this thread....
to wherever it will get the most or correct exposure. Sorry if I put it in the wrong place.

i have no idea what your doing...i rooted via the unREVOked method...i had to downgrade to 2.1, then actually root...can u send me a PM with what tutorial your following? and also the current info you have for your phone, like what its running (2.1 or 2.2) and stuff of that nature.... we shall see if i can help, not sure but its worth a shot

okay form what i read you have already flashed the .zip. Make sure you clear your data and cache as these will cause boot loops if not cleared. Also you can rename the .zip to anything you want, this just makes it so the bootloader does not try to install the .zip a second time.

I'm running 2.1. I never upgraded. The tutorial I'm following is in thread #690762 I'll try to pm the link but I don't think they'll let me. I thought unrevoked wasn't a full root. I want to unlock nand. I'm also using Ubuntu here, not windows.

Nice looks like I'm allowed to put up links now... Thanks!
Yes I flashed the .zip my phone called it "updating" when it was going on.

Do I do that from the boot menu?

I just removed the .zip part. What is the point of the next step, which I couldn't get to work, if I rename the file?
Code:
adb shell mv /sdcard/PC36IMG.zip /sdcard/root-PC36IMG.zip

Well I guess I'm going to start over and wait for the latest unrevoked to come back out. Thanks to everyone that tried to help. "NO ROOT FOR YOU!"

You have a lot to learn....
First of all, don't rename the sdcard, rename pc36img.zip. Just rename it to anything you want so boat loader doesn't recognize it and try to update itself. Next, you aren't utilizing root. You do have a rooted boot loader, but you are still using a protected recovery and rom. Install a custom recovery and flash a new rom so you can be cool.

Yes, I know I have a lot to learn. I didn't rename the sdcard, that wasn't possible. I figured part of the problem with getting this to work was the path. My sdcard wasn't called sdcard it was called some 8 digit number. I eventually worked around pushing the file to the sd card by installing the phone as a drive and dragging the file to the sdcard.

After I rebooted and updated/ flashed the file, I renamed the file on the sdcard by removing the .zip. I did this via disk drive on my laptop because I wasn't getting anywhere with the command line.
Again this part didn't make any sense to me, not that most of it does, but what was the point of the next command in the directions if I renamed the file?

Right "I have a lot to learn" I thought following the directions in toasts tutorial step by step would have gotten me to that point. I didn't realize I was just supposed to skip stuff when I run into problems. That kinda seems like what your telling me to do. I thought all of the commands were important.

I was hoping you had some follow up insight dkdude.

if you still on 2.1, try this method (just make sure the files aren't corrupted)

[Q] help please? :)

ok i s-off'ed my phone when it was first relesed, have just updted to the newest version 1.80 and i cant for the life of me figure out how to put the n1 table on my phone i tried "You can also download the corresponding PB99IMG zipfile, put it on your sdcard, and rename it to PB99IMG.zip. Then start the phone in HBOOT mode (VolDown+POWER) to flash the HBOOT without a PC." <<<that but it says cid incorrect reboot or similar any help is much appreciated
also sorry if this has been asked before but i could not find the threads

That's sounds like you need a goldcard but I haven't tried the PB99IMG way.
Have you tried flashing it through fastboot?
I think that's the more reliable way to do it.

if im honest i cant get the sdk tools to fstboot flash it as it says i need java sdk when there already installed :S

Do you have a goldcard in your phone? If not, create one and try it again.
There's lots of posts about how to make a goldcard if you need them

you dont need the java sdk you need the jdk
eitherway fastboot doesnt require java to flash as its an executable from path using cmd so im wondering what you are doing to use it
is it the installer itself that is giving you an error?
have to tried the s-off all in one flasher?

[Q] AlpharevX Doesnt detect my Wildfire :(

Ive tried to s-off my Wildfire like 3 times. The first one i failed cz i chose HBOOT 1.01.0001. The second one it was stucked on Acquiring Root <method 1> then i waited, then it said click anything to exit. after that my third times, it doesnt detect my handset.
Does it mean my WF already s-off or what?
Thanks a lot to who has answered my question

You can check the HBOOT version by pressing Vol - and power when turning it on.

i already know its 1.01.0002
But then when i tried to do it again, the alpharevx doesnt detect my phone. it only said : Android
Then it wanted i put the serial
nvm, it detects now. But it stucks when it says Thank you for participating

hye...
i am rlly new with this forum just rcently bcame a mmber... n of cz vry noob...
i hving this problem when i try to run the alpharev X it says waiting for device..
so?? what had i done wrong i already know that my HBOOT is 1.01.002..
btw sory my english..

Did you set your phone at USB-debug and charge only?

how to enable the USB debug?? i hve set myphone to chrge only still alpharex doesnt detect myphone..

USB debugging is under Settings->Applications->Development

does it take a long time for the alpharev X to dtect the phone cz i follow all ur instructions it still shows waiting for device..

No. It detects it almost immediately. Possible solutions:
- Make sure USB Debugging is On, as already said above
- Redownload the AlphaRev X Executable file
- Make sure Drivers are installed and working properly. There are 2 aspects to this:
1) Install HTC Sync, and, Uninstall it. The ADB Drivers will be installed
2) The HBoot Drivers are next. Guide to install that is here:

Its an example. The actual file will be the one you downloaded. (Theres a link in the first line of that guide called Unrevoked Modified USB Driver)

thanks i just install the hboot driver.. install htc sync and uninstall htc sync.. so now i hope alpharev x can detect my phone... again thank u 4 the help..

now rise another problem.. alpharev x can detect myphone but when i enter the beta key base my serial no it says invalid beta key...
im pretty sure i enter the right serial key and the right beta key..

Redownload the alpharev zip and run it, worked for me.

There are two possible solutions there again. But, before that, make sure you have entered the right details (Right Serial Number (HT0....), Right HBoot Version, Right Device Model).
Once you are sure these are correct:
- Solution 1 - Copy the beta key in your clipboard from the website, then right click the title bar of the AlphaRevX Application, Click Properties, then check mark Quick Edit Mode. Then Right click anywhere inside the window, it will paste the key.
- Solution 2 - Redownload the AlphaRevX Application from the website and retry.
EDIT: Ninja'ed, Oh well.

lol sory mymistake... actually i really put the wrong beta key...
now that i hve S-OFF myphone what should i do now... sorry i really dont know anything..

Two ways again:
1) Follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
2) Use Fastboot (Which I used)
- Download Android SDK - http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Download ClockworkMod Recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1014498
- Extract the Recovery.img file from the 2nd link, and place it in your SDK Setup Path / Tools (eg: C:/android-sdk-windows/tools)
- Open a Command Window (cmd)
- Browse to the tools folder in this Command Window
- Type the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
- It will install ClockworkMod Recovery, you are done.
Then, simply follow Part 3 of this guide to install Custom ROMs and Stuff, irrespective of what you followed above.

EXE File.
That post simply means, that when you have completed installing your SDK, then, there will be a folder called "Tools" at your install location. Copy Paste the Recovery.img file to the Tools folder.

ok now i hve copy the recovery.img into tools
then open cmd right?? now what??

what PB99IMG did you flash? are you branded?

i used this
PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_r elease_159811_signed.zip
i tried also every other pb99img i could find... but other din't work at all
should i have a goldcard or rooted phone?
i think i am not branded, but i am not shure ://

if you have your phone on contract with e.g.Orange, O2, Vodafone etc then you are branded.
With a branded phone you need a goldcard to flash an unbranded PB99IMG.
To create a goldcard follow this tutorial. Notice however you need to skip the part where they find the CID of the SD-Card using the phone, and use this tool instead, COPY DOWN THE CID WITHOUT ANY SPACES, COMMAS ETC. JUST LETTERS/NUMBERS. Then follow from the tutorial.
Once you have a goldcard try to use the same RUU you used (PB99IMG_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_r elease_159811_signed.zip)

I guess that is why this metod did't wokr ha? :/
i will try to make a goldcard tomorow...
THANKS!!

Hmm maybe, you could also try using a RUU instead?. What network are you on?
EDIT: By the way I just noticed you posted a 2nd thread, there was really no need.

i tried RUU
I tried milions of RUU's befor, but always the same. it shows me that i need more than 30% battery power. and i always had like... atleast 90%
I don't know what network i am on. its my friends phone.
and btw... i'm from slowenia

you mean with the goldcard? yeah I said skip the part where they get the CID (and actually all of the parts where the phone is involved), just use the tool I sent you to get the CID, put your SD in an adapter and follow the tutorial

would be ok if i use my OWN desire, switch the sd cards and try it to go to the recovery (since i my desire doesn't work with his sd card, i tried that) and mount sd card trough recovery...

go to the folder where you installed adb and note the file directory. If you're having problems there's a section on my guide that can help you out
in cmd type
Code:
cd #file directory#
then carry on with the instructions on the tutorial

i found the directory
and yes i go into the folder android sdk and into the map tools...
then i should type adb devices
but it saids that the adb isn't a comand

woops thanked you by accident lol. tried to quote..
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html download this and install this sdk cos i dunno what you did. then make the directory to wherever you install it. Remember to download platform tools from sdk manager.

no... still the same afte installing platform tools
should i install everything??
-android 4.0...
-and so on

perhaps because i have widows 7?

Did you also install USB drivers? Good tutorial for installing sdk can be found in my signature over adb / fastboot guide.

How To Root HTC Wildfire S A510C CDMA Virgin Mobile!

First, I'd like to thank Chlinkchlink, Heritz, and Superoneclick application for your help and original Root.zip File! Wouldn't work without this!
I Finally found the perfect method to root this Virgin Mobile Device with S-On (Or OFF)! I Spent 3 days on my customers phone at my computer shop figuring a good method without read/write or freeze errors. I Simply EXTRACTED the SUPERUSER and ROOT files from SUPERONECLICK application and PASTED those files into the ROOT.ZIP File provided. Result? The ULTIMATE ROOT.ZIP MODIFICATION! Below are the methods....
Forget to mention... "I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK/BREAK/THROUGH YOUR PHONE OUT THE WINDOW/ Etc!" That can only happen if you fail to backup your device or fail to read my steps and HTC Dev. Thanks and HAPPY ROOTING!
Follow The HTC Dev method to unlock your bootloader. Sorry. Due to rules I am too new to submit links.
Then install clockworkmod recovery like you would through adb on your computer. Download from attachment. make sure you Extract it!
Place the clockworkrecovery image inside your Android Adb folder. Place your phone in bootloader usb mode and plug it into the computer. Open command prompt and browse to the folder where you placed the recovery
example how:
cd c:/
cd Android
Now Flash this bad recovery!
example on cmd prompt:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.8-marvelc.img
Now you have clockworkmod recovery!
Now hit Recovery on your cell...
Get My Modified Root.Zip File on link attached.
Now mount USB Storage and make sure your phone is still plugged in to computer.
Copy my modified Root.zip file you downloaded into the root of your MicroSD Card.
Unmount USB and flash the Root.zip file.
Reboot phone and you are now rooted! Donate / Like Me/ And good comments if I helped you!!!

Thanks for your help with my phone. I'm glad you were able to figure it out after i gave up trying. In a few wks i'll get the VM Evo 3d 4g and swing by to have you do that phone as well. I'll let you know if i run into any issues or updates. Thanks once again!

Can anyone else verify this works?
Finally found something for wf s CDMA. Only 1 other person out there that has tried this? Anyone else?

This would of helped me a while ago.
I had an issue where CWM 5.0.2.8 would freeze and restart itself. I had to use 4.X.X.X (don't remember the exact numbers) in order to be able to flash roms.
And maybe you can help me with this. I installed HenseMod with the VirginMobile patch, but I have no service. My carrier doesn't seem to know why either.
Does anyone know what the problem is?

Here you go

Yes.. I am sure you need to go back to stock rooted rom. Then activate (or reactivate) with your carrier, then put the Hensemod back.
(Most HTC phones with SENSE won't activate with the carrier with any cyanogen based rom). It must have SENSE.

Nice tut, thanks
