[seajm]

I got almost through part one where you boot up the bootloader here is what I get................................SD Checking pc36img.zip
loading
No image
loading no image or wrong image
loading...............

Main Version is Older
Update fail!

Do you want to reboot device?



I checked the Sd card and the image (zip) is there. Thanks for any and all help!!

Are you using simple root?

 

[seajm]

I'm using this guide from this thread.

[GUIDE] How to root Android 2.2 on the EVO 4G - xda-developers

 

[laredo7mm]

well, i was hoping you were using simple root, but if you are following that guide to the letter, then you are using unrevoked. I had a similar error message when using simple root that I found a work around for.

Have you tried the new one click method for unrevoked? maybe that would work for you???

try re down loading the zip, i was having the same issue and i have to use my hero to mount the sd card to my pc and re download the zip and it worked

 

[seajm]

No, I have not even heard of it????? I would rather do it manualy, but I'm stuck and see no other way out but to try this one click root. Is it a full root?

I don't know the specifics, but here is a link to it:

[ROOT] unrEVOked 3.2: one-click root for Froyo, no downgrading - xda-developers

if your evo is like mine which ship with 2.2, i dont think it will work

Sure it will... maybe a couple of tries will do it but 2.2 has been successfully rooted.

Sure it will... maybe a couple of tries will do it but 2.2 has been successfully rooted.

Yeah I know it will root since I root mine last night but I am saying I think the one click root only work for 2.1 but I am not sure on that

The new unrevoked 3.2 is intended to root 2.2 devices.... in one click. but i think the link has been pulled out because a couple of bugs were reported, so if u dont wanna do it the long way ( which is not really that complicated anyway) then some ppl might wanna wait til they sort out the issues with unrevoked 3.2

 

[yung_wallace]

oh i didnt know they pulled it, i just got on last night and i couldnt find it haha

I prefer to do it the long way, just after four attempts with the exact same outcome, one tends to become quite frustrated! I guess I will mount the disk and get rid of the zip files that I pulled onto the SD card earlier and download them again and try some more!!

 

[yung_wallace]

start from step one and pm me, i use the same guide last night and i got mine rooted after 2 tries, so lmk if you need help, i am more then happy to help

 

[seajm]

I am going at right now. The pc36img.zip was corrupt!! Thanks, I'll let ya know!

I had this issue when I tried to unroot, it has to do with the version of your bootloader. If I remember correctly, I had to find a different version of the pc36img and had no problems. When I rooted my second evo following the new method, and using simpleroot instead of unrevoked,i had no issues

Now that I am in 2.1 can I use the simpleroot method? Unrevoked3 has been taken down!!!

[GUIDE] How to root Android 2.2 on the EVO 4G - xda-developers
use this guide

 

[yung_wallace]

just go the long way so you can learn it, so if something like this happen again to the new phone that you get later, you will know how to fix it, i root my hero and because of that, it was really easy for me to root my EVO

 

[seajm]

I started with the unrevoked3, will I be okay continuing with the forever. I'm already at the point where my phone is back to 2.1 from 2.2????

 

[seajm]

Bump, Anyone????

Yes, and remember that unrevoked 3 and unrevoked 3.2 are 2 different things.
