i dont know what instructions you used.. but i used this one and worked flawless

Rooting the Evo V (EASY!)

 

[OverByter]

It's much more daunting reading about it than actually doing it. Just follow the tutorial and copy /paste the commands directly into your command prompt.

Can't get passed downloading the mini SDK

 

[flboy91]

I downloadedit but wen I go to the command prompt it I can't get it to except adv reboot bootloader... It tells me it doesnt recognize command

try typing in "adb usb" without the quotes and run that. that fixed my issue and i feel it should probably be added to the rooting sticky if there is a troubleshooting section.

are you absolutely certain that adb.exe is in that folder? double check that. that error means it can't find the executable in that directory.

take a screenshot of what's in your C:\sdk-tools folder. btw alt+printscreen takes a screenshot of a window so you dont have to keep taking pics with your phone or camera

 

[flboy91]

This is what it contains

uhm, looking at that picture... i think you have a folder called sdk-tools inside another folder called sdk-tools.

take everything from that folder, and put it in the main folder.

it should be c:/sdk-tools not c:/sdk-tools/sdk-tools

which step is this in the sticky guide?

 

[flboy91]

which step is this in the sticky guide?

when i get to the LOCKED screen when it reboots itself

 

[metal571]

did you put in "fastboot oem get_identifier_token"? you need that to unlock the bootloader, sounds like thats what step you're on

yes it will still work

 

[Leslie Ann]

Select other supported phones, or something similar.

 

[metal571]

i think i did evo 3d and it worked for me, but i would listen to the Harmonia dev tho...

 

[chadyboy81]

Check your folder at the address bar I had to use CD c:/sdk-tools/sdk-tools/sdk-tools. And another was CD c:/sdk-tools/folder/sdk-tools. But also you can go to the sdk folder go all the way in hold shift and right click and the choose open command window. Try that it gets annoying I know

 

[Leslie Ann]

i think i did evo 3d and it worked for me, but i would listen to the Harmonia dev tho...

It will probably work on either to be honest. I used other, but I am also sure some people used Evo 3d.

Any one of you could make any version of Harmonia.

 

[flboy91]

It says the sprint 3d requires a hboot update... Can i use the other two 3ds than???
