I am having so many problems trying to root. Im going crazy.
Quick info - I'm running 1.47.651.1 and have hoot .79, not .76
I've read all the threads here, and over at the androidforums, in regards to rooting. I've tried the ota simpleroot method, toasts method, etc. I've followed step for step w/ YouTube videos, etc. NO LUCK.
Currently I've just got a basic root, with unrEVOked3, with the clockwork mod. I only.used unrEvOked for a partial root, because every method has failed me so far. I'm a wreck! I've done one nandroid backup, after installing unrEvOked. I know that I need NAND support unlocked in order to flash custom roms, such as cm6. This is what I am trying to accomplish now. As ive said, I've tried several methods, and have done all the reading my brain can handle. All my drivers are up to date, including my adb drivers. I've got the Android sdk installed as well.
Simpleroot seems to work up until step #4, but then after rebooting, & going into the hboot screen - where it should load the pc36img file, & I should see the blue progress bar along the right side. Unfortunately, this never happens. Instead, it says the image cant be found, & displays that in green text, then just takes me back to the hboot menu. Yes, I am in charge mode. Yes, usb debugging is on. -- what's this I read about being in HTC sync mode? Is that crucial for performing step 4? i havent read this anywhere else, so im just curious. Trying to explain my situation/scenario as best I can, bc I'm really frustrated trying to root my new evo. I do have the HTC sync installed, FYI.
I know unrEvOked worked successfully, & I've at least got a partial root, since i can wifi tether no problem. I just need too unlock the nand. I end up going in circles reading the forum posts related to my issue, as they all say use simpleroot ota to gain nand access, or part 2 of toasts method. I've tried, trust me. I wouldn't be posting here if I wasn't rly stuck.
Please, someone help! I would be forever grateful if you can get me full root and gain nand access.
Everyone else is doing it, i just want to join in!
Thanks.
If there's any other information I can provide, i would be more than happy to assist. I've seen others with my same problem as well, but haven't found a solid fix yet. So thanks again on behalf of them as well!

Stop being a rent-a-mod.
Have you installed .net framework 4.0, htc sync, and disabled virus scanners on the machine you are using?
There were no error messages you overlooked on step 3 of simpleroot?
Does step 4 bring you to recovery by itself or does it sit there hanging and you manually do it yourself?
Use this method it only requires ADB and the 2nd part of Toast
Utilize the thread mentioned below. I am a new user for posting and can't do links yet but it has method in which you utilize shell commands via adb.

Thanks for your honest help. Sorry this isn't in the q&a like the above user suggested. This seemed to be the place where I would receive the most help.
Yes, I've got framework 4.0 installed, and HTC sync. All virus protection is disabled.
There were no error messages on any of the steps. I've followed it multiple times, very carefully. Even step for step with YouTube videos.
Step 4 does not bring me to recovery. Sometimes it reboots, then reboot again into hboot, but doesn't load the pc36img as it should. Just brings me back to the menu. Other times on step 4, it will reboot, but then won't reboot again into the hboot.
Hope I've answered your question.
Thanks again to all, for the help.

Sorry meant hboot, not recovery.
I haven't seen anyone post this issue before.
Youtube videos? I thought it had you go to a flash game. What thread/guide are you following?

edit: nevermind, you have to be already nand unlocked for it to work.

I have no experience with unrevoked, not sure if that is complicating things. Maybe you can find someone that has gone from unrevoked3 to full root.

+1 I came into development on Saturday and there were 8-10 questions/comments at one point. I mean really with the attitudes of people what's the point of having a Q&A section... really? And to top that there seems to be this underlying assumption that if you post a question in dev that you'll get more(?), better(?) help. *shrug* Honestly, people can call me rent-a-mod, or that annoying guy who jumps on people if they post a question in Dev, I don't really care.... I get annoyed when I specifically come to a subforum (Dev in this case) expecting to see a particular subject and instead I find myself double checking to make sure I haven't clicked Q&A by mistake.

I can understand it being annoying, I am in no way saying it is acceptable. I am simply referring to the attitude people have taken toward the noobs of xda. It is not necessary.
Your statement quoted above is bull****. 9/10 threads in this section ALWAYS contain things like [ROM], [KERNAL], [METHOD], [HOW-TO], [PROGRAM] OR [TUTORIAL].
Honestly, you are trying to say that you come into this section after knowingly clicking on it, get confused as to where you are and it upsets you so much that you have to be a **** and tarnish the reputation of these forums to new users?

Next time I will take a screenshot since Toast moved all of the threads now. And, NO, I knew I was in dev, I was being sarcastic and trying to make a point.
Also, I used no profanity in any of my posts, although I was direct, and simply stated what I felt. I do not feel that any of my posts degrade or tarnish anyones name. Truth be told my very first post in XDA was in dev asking a question, and someone posted "wrong forum" or whatever.... and it was a learning moment. I didn't feel degraded or tarnished. I guess these days there are a lot of sensitive people on XDA. read: everyone should mind their p's and q's. *shrug*

Hey,
I'm pretty new here but I used Simpleroot for my first root as well. Sounds like if it is not loading the PC36IMG file it's either named incorrectly or it's not on the SD card. Can you verify that you have a file PC36IMG.zip in the root of your SD card?

Yes, I've got the pc36img.zip on my SD card, and it is named correctly. I've even tried formatting my card.
As to the 'argument' that's going on within this thread, its pointless. SORRY I didn't post in the correct place. Not like I'm the first. No need to bicker back & forth about it, that's just childish.
All I'm looking to do is fully root my phone. ive ran into some problems. so I came here hoping for a solution.
I've still had no success.
Thanks again to those who are willing to contribute, and help me solve this issue. I appreciate your time.
Guys hello again. The sh*t has just hit the fan…
I have been on miui-au for months and was currently running version 1.8.22.
This morning i noticed that when people would send me text messages i would go into a reboot…
This happened 2 or 3 times and then i decided to remove the battery and do a cold reboot.
When i turned the phone on it just stays stuck on the htc logo.
If i keep the volume key pressed it goes into the screen with fastboot etc, but i cannot enter recovery or boot into my phone…
Can anyone suggest anything that i can use to recover my phone?
I am on hboot 0.93 001
Thanks a lot

Also, its not very easy to keep a cool head when your phone just collapse.
Thanks once again for all your help, and i am sorry that your knowledge and non-newbieness could not be more productive for my situation.
If you cant help, just be quiet.

I'd try:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [path-to-recovery.img]
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then try to boot into recovery
I suggest to flash Amon_RA 2.0.1, it can't restore CWM backups but "just works" without any major bugs

Go into recovery, wipe everything and reflash.
If you're S-OFF i would advice to flash 4ext recovery, from my sig.

Boot to bootloader, choose Fastboot and connect USB.
Open command prompt (in windows Menu Start->Run->CMD, in linux- any terminal), browse to AndroidSDK/tools folder and execute these commands. Simplest way is to copy recovery.img to /tools, you won't need to type in path to .img but just a file name
What's the point in saying how long you've been a member of XDA???
I've been a member for less than a month, and even I know that the "Development" thread is for developers, and the "Q&A" thread is for any and all questions.
It's easy, the clue's in the name...
"MOD EDIT: BEFORE POSTING ANY THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required."
Solved.

I have sprint gs3 rooted with cwm 6.0.3.1 installed on it. I was trying to flash SuperNexus-2.0-i9300-BUILD4. Zip onto my phone. I recieved an error when it attempted to do the flash. The error was: /tmp/recovery.log was copied to /sdcard/clockworkmod/recovery.log. This also happens when try to restore a backup not done by rom manager
Please I hope you where not successful at all. You are trying to flash an International rom. Can't you see it says it's for the I9300 not the SPH-L710??? You will brick your phone. Please stop and do about two more Weeks of reading and research.

Now I understand why carriers are locking the bootloader.
As said above, PLEASE put the phone DOWN and step away from the merchandise....now go read, read, read, and read. You should never flash roms that are not made for your specific device AND carrier. Ever. No exceptions.

Shouldn't you install a custom recovery like clockworkmod first? When and how do i install that?
Im currently at firmware 14.4.a.0.157 btw.
I have understood that you might brick you device if you do this and that's the last thing i want too do, as im studying student i dont really have enough money for a new phone/reparation.

Ive successfully rooted the phone and everything seems to work fine with that!
The thing is that i was going to install recovery now and i thought i could use the guide provided by the author of the thread you linked before which is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261606
As i downloaded the recovery and installed it said it was succesfull but i cant seem to get into recovery. The guide also said that the device should reboot after the installtion, which it didnt! I ran install.bat with the phone on, not in flashmode or anything. Was i doing anything wrong? I installed the recovery from http://nut.xperia-files.com/ in the XZDualRecovery section, not the kernal section. Should i also install the kernal Recovery? Im confused

shutdown your device!
At boot, once you feel the phone vibrate and while you see the green led burn:
- press VOL-UP for PhilZ Touch;
- press VOL-DOWN for TWRP.
- flash the custom rom you want (but copy the zip to your extSD card before)

Ive tried that but i dont get into recovery. Do i need to have a extSD card before install the recovery? I also dont see any green led burning. I feel the phone vibrate shortly after i pressed and hold the power button, but no green led.
When i installed the recovery i had the phone powered on, was that right? It said in the guide it would restart but it didn't.
I dont think ext card is necessary, it is rather option.
Question:
Did you install both zips - installer and flashable?
If yes - I'd try other version.
Hello,
I keep receiving notifications to update my Dutch HTC 10 phone to software 2.41.401.4.
I see that this is the version of Nougat 7.0 for HTC 10 in the Netherlands. This is indeed where my phone is.
Last October, I rooted the phone.
After I have downloaded the 1 GB+ update, I accept to install it.
the phone reboots and I see the "Teamwin Recovery Project 3.0.2-6" logo
The next page says: running OpenRecoveryScript
after 20 secs, I see the TWRP home page with the 8 tiles (Install, Wipe...)
This is where I stuck. What is the next step?
I only dared to push the "Reboot" tile, then I tried:
Recovery => back to TWRP home page, this time, I didn't see the "running OpenRecoveryScript"
Bootloader => no much more to do there. by the way, if this helps, the top of the screen says:
*** Software status: Official ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
*** S-ON ***
Download => not much there, it says at the bottom: FILE /mnt/media_rw/ext_sd/2PS6IMG.zip File NOT FOUND
System => phone reboots correctly and I get this error message: the downloaded system update update is corrupted, do you want to download again?
I repeated the update process about 6 times and I always get the same corruption problem.
I'm hoping to find a way to update my phone without loosing anything.
Is there a specific workflow to follow for rooted phone and TWRP ?
Thanks
PS:
I did envisage the computer-based update:
I downloaded the update .
my problem is that this method claims that it will erase all my data. something I'm not yet willing to do:
I did that with my previous phone and I used titanium backup to restore everything but it didn't work well, got lots of system errors
Google seems to offer a similar method of restoring, also tried it and it didn't restore all apps and all my game data were not restored.
You need to restore an untouched stock backup AND stock recovery for OTA updates to work. Do you have both of those?
Else, you can flash manually. Look at the TWRP thread, in the second post there is a FAQ that will guide you in the right direction.
Both of these methods won't make you lose anything other than root, which you can just flash again after you're done.

Hi,
I don't have the stock backup and the stock recovery.
I guess I'll try the manual flash then.
thanks

Have a look or ask here, lots of stock backups available in the OP and by others in the thread.

Hi,
I spend a solid 3-hour reading tens of pages of posts in the faq thread and other web pages. It looks very complicated, I see a lot of acronyms and processes which are way over my head.
I must admit this is just not for me. There is a serious risk that I **** something up.
I will stay on my current android 6. I don't wish to ask more stupid newbie questions and frustrate members.
thanks for your help, I still learnt a few things.

Lol, no worries man. It's not always obvious.
The steps are not that complicated actually once you got through them once. The absolute "easiest" way to do it would be to find an appropriate RUU for your phone, which is a file that restores all partitions of your phone back to factory. Then you'd take the OTA from htc, and go through the process of flashing TWRP and rooting again. See if you can find such an RUU for your model and software version in the thread I linked you above.
Also FYI there is a N00b thread that is sticked to ask any type of question. You'll probably find help in there as well.
