So I was trying to root my evo so I could try the fresh rom (please note that this was my first ever root attempt and my phone had the OTA update). I followed the instructions from this guide:
Latest OTA rooted! - Page 2 - Android Central Forums
This is where my problem is:
11. Once back at the Home screen type:
Code:
adb shell
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
reboot recovery
When I enter the "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image" code I get:
"cannot create /data/flash_image: permission denied"
I'm very worried I really screwed something up. Can anybody please offer up some advice for a newbie?
*edit: after some googling I found other people typed "su" prior to typing in the "cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image" command. That didn't work for me. I received "su: permission denied" after entering su.
Would going back and starting this tutorial all over cause serious damage? I'm wondering if maybe I messed up earlier.
