Root I know one of you are smart enough to figure this out...

anderson620 · Dec 19, 2010

So, this is what I show:

baseband : 2.15.0.11.19
build : 3.70.651.1 CL294884 release-keys
software number 3.70.651.1
supersonic evt2-3 ship s-on
hboot 2.10.0001
radio-2.15.00.11.19
Oct 15 2010 12:07:00

I have tried the latest (as of 12.19.10) unrEVOked to no avail. I'm sure some of you will read this thread and flame me for not reading some 300+ posts in a forum somewhere; the truth is that I have read them but the directions are too hard to follow by date: it's not clear what is out-dated where.

Is this configuration root-able by some means? I have rooted 3 Eris and 2 D1, 2 Intercept. The idea is not foreign to me. I am not, however, willing to stake such a wonderful piece of equipment on speculation. The rules seem to change every couple of hours. I would like full root to be able to use Cyanogenmod. At hboot,my sd image scan says no img available. Is that normal?

Any help will be more than appreciated; I will make sure your name is touted among the ranks here at phandroid!

Thanks in advance.

as far as i know with your radio its not rootable you would need to run the ruu
in that thread in the bold it says it doesnt work with that radio
if you run the ruu it seems like you will be able to root using that guide.

RUU is something I've not used, isn't that a replacement "stock" image? Is that basically flashing a different radio in order to work around the un-root-able-ness (It's a word now!) of this particular radio?

Thanks again.

jersey221 · Dec 19, 2010

that will replace the whole firmware it will still be 2.2 but a older update they came out with awhile back it will erase everything on your phone just so you know.

but it is confirmed to work. atleast with mine. model 003

you can then upgrade back to the newest radio, WITH root.

What?

An RUU is not the same as flashing a radio.

*I have decided to edit this post because, after reading it, I've realized two things:
1. Never post while drinking
2. I may be a bit of an ass.

Sorry guys.

Thanks, but your tone is off. If I had known the answer, it wouldn't have come in the form of a question.

Please explain how one determines "tone" online etc...

gosh that drives me crazy. he is trying to help you. You answered your question within your question. an ruu is a stock image.

This is also the first time I have seen reference to a radio not being root able. Are we instead referring to the HBOOT issues with 2.02 and 2.10 or did I miss something in my week long absence? (highly possible)

Jersey posted one of the only ways to currently overcome this issue. After seeing the mayhem this root method causes I don't suggest it. I suggest waiting.

You know, maybe you're right. Maybe I mistook the "What?" at the top of his comment for rudeness and it wasn't meant that way. For that I apologize.
I also understand that, not knowing all of the terminology, it's entirely possible for me to answer my own question and not realize it.
Sorry if I stepped on any toes, and thank you for the help.

no worries...

it's confusing for sure. because the s-off s-on is stored on the radio I can see where the confusion is.

everyone else refers to it being the new hboot

honestly I never noticed unrevoked refered to the radios until you posted
