Root Official Unrevoked Developers have Froyo on EVO

[VGPOP]

I am at the red triangle and it's been there for about a 2 mins now.

I am still at this phone and red triangle for about 5 mins now. I don't want to take out my battery and something happens to it.

Do I need to do something else?

Still on a pic of the phone with a Red triangle with a ! in the middle.

Power + volume up then update from zip

Sorry, false alarm. It seems to be booting now. If you get to this screen, DO NOTHING and just wait. It has rebooted several times. Will update shortly.

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!! Fully booted into new 2.2 Froyo!!!!!

People dont like because its not a "full root." They make it seem like its for noobs and posers.

You mean if I don't follow someone else's instructions on how to root my phone I'm a poser?

 

[stas333]

It told me to reboot. I am at a black screen with a picture of the phone and green arrows. It just sits there.

me too

Wait.. you had it as update.zip and it didn't work, and then you renamed it update (no suffix) and it worked?

And when it says "Up button while booting" - I assume they mean the up volume button?

EdIT: I see about volume up.

Hotel downloading at 24kbs FTW! :\

That's ok - let you guys figure shiznit out first

Its probably update.zip.zip
just rename update

Thanks.

I just applied update.

Was getting nervous for a moment there.

It started at 7:35pm

It takes a LONG time (several minutes) at several different screens along the way. Just when you think it bricked, it boots into another update screen. Just be patient.

Hit the power button and the up button at the same time. That should bring up a menu. I had to mess around with the buttons a bit to get it to work.

What winrar file? I think you need to stop right now, and re-read the instructions.

 

[Yankees368]

Ok, false alarm for me. I guess I need to rename the file.

 

[EarlyMon]

i put update.zip and then it wouldnt recognize it ... just rename it update and the it should work ..

Be VERY careful and VERY sure that you do not have your Windows file browser set to hide file extensions.

Otherwise, you'll name it update.zip.zip and not know it.

The correct file name is update.zip - do not deviate.

Verify it with your built-in Evo file browser, such as ASTRO File Manager, free from the market. Looking with ASTRO, it should be directly inside the folder /sdcard - nowhere else.

Anybody install over unrevoked 3?

 

[bigddybn]

Okay I'm rooted. Or I should say I *was* rooted.

Turned off my phone.

Held volume down and the power button.

Selected recovery

Did nandroid backup

DID NOT WIPE PHONE

Selected update from SD card. I didn't change name.

It filled a status bar and rebooted.

Got a box thing with an arrow and the little green guy for a few minutes where I was worried but it rebooted

got a phone with red triangle for a few minutes but it rebooted.

Finally booted for real and got an HTC indicator with a percentage that slowly counted up to 100%

it told me grats upgrade was done. All my old stuff is still there and phone is working perfectly.

Omg this is so crazy. Waiting for someone other than the Unrevoked guys to say that they've had success with it.

 

[aznmode]

I think all this excitement is confusing you guys lol. Just breathe....relax and just be patience and follow the instruction.

 

[EarlyMon]

Hit the power button and the up button at the same time. That should bring up a menu. I had to mess around with the buttons a bit to get it to work.

While holding the volume up button, hit the power button.

Like a shift key, first one, then the other.

I think I may have done something wrong. I'm stuck at a black screen with a phone image and red rectangle that is upside down with and a red exclamation point. What's that? What should I do?

 

[snapbox]

IT WORKS! Got 2.2 on mine. BE PATIENT. It'll reboot quite a few times showing the phone and the green arrows before it finally loads.
