Root Question about hboot 2.10

[YamiR6]

I was looking at a post back in december that said hboot 2.10 isn't compatible but on the rooting for dummies it says that it now is. Has anyone tested this. Let me know because if that was the case I'm going to root my phone using unrevoked.

Are you referring to unrevoked to root your phone? If so, it should be compatible now.

public:unrevoked3 [RootWiki]

 

[akazabam]

Yes, it is compatible. Follow the directions given in the Rooting for Dummies thread, and you'll be good to go. A lot of people have done it, and it is known to work fine.

if I could do it anyone can...it worked fine

 

[YamiR6]

I did do the rooting for dummies on my phone worked great but my friends phone when i plug it in and run the program its gets to that point and just sits there. Wont install the program the whole process takes like 5 minutes tops. from start to finish.

 

[akazabam]

Where exactly did it get stuck? What did unrevoked say, and what did you see on the phone?

 

[YamiR6]

Phone was idle and the program was stuck saying installing unrevoked3 and just say there for 10 minutes. On my phone went through process and was done but his which is same boot stops there.

 

[akazabam]

Did the phone reboot at all? How far into the process did it get?

 

[YamiR6]

It never rebooted. If i closed the unrevoked after waiting 15 minutes the phone was last at where it was once I first plugged it in.

 

[Mr. Ed]

did you try running it again?

 

[akazabam]

Yes, try running it again. I assume you followed all the instructions about HTC sync, virus scanner, etc.? Sometimes you even have to install, then uninstall HTC sync if it doesn't seem to get far.

 

[YamiR6]

I ran it three times. So your saying that i need to install htc sync and then uninstall it off my pc?

What boggles me is when i used it on my phone everything went through fine. When I used it on my roommates phone is when this problem occured.

Start with that. There's a few other things you can try, but that's one of the easiest. You did set up the drivers right?

Try on a different computer... I remember having to use a diff pc when JB'ing my cousin's iPhone as it simply wouldn't happen on mine!

I have hboot 2.10 on my hw version 004 Evo and the rooting process went thru with zero issues.

I've rooted 6 Evo's off the same laptop I originally rooted mine on.. and it seems that everytime I connect an Evo to my laptop, it downloads the correct driver automatically? I always go thru the process just to be safe is that normal?
