ocnbrze · Jul 13, 2013

yeah those are not needed.

mikem0269 · Jul 14, 2013

Hey Ocn The last 4 evos i rooted gave the same errors mikemike is getting with tacoroot. I had to do capts method. I have no explanation as to why.
Just thought I would give you a heads up because tacoroot was my method of choice.

ocnbrze · Jul 14, 2013

yeah taco root works for some while it does not work on others. i think that it is the fact that taco root is very unstable and hard to predict.

mikemike1234 · Jul 14, 2013

thaks for the ino f i know i was not the only one going crazy with that

mikemike1234 · Jul 14, 2013

k and ocn why would i be doing a new recovery with the ra recov when i already didi it with the dev meth is my phone getting wiped again with cap meth to were i have to re do the recov

ocnbrze · Jul 14, 2013

what step are you in the guide? certain parts of it will erase your recovery and it needs to be re-installed.

mikemike1234 · Jul 18, 2013

well i havent started yet i am going ot do capt. to day just that i was reading the steps and it said that iwell need the file and it well be used in this step for example it says this

unrevoked.

The rooting process with unrevoked will also not be covered in this thread, as it is well-documented.

Files you'll need

- RA-Recovery - USED IN STEP 3 (there are 3 different versions you can use - I recommend this one):

recovery-RA-v2.3-hausmod_revA.img - md5: 219FE492872E2BFAD57C16545BA340CE

- Superuser 3.07 - USED IN STEP 4 (Attached to post #2 - md5: fc462fa0630379edbe10006b1d19d9b1)

- flash_image binary - USED IN STEP 9 (Attached to Post #2- md5: 97B64A4C8CB22E39F79062402D26A126)

- Misc/MTD Partition IMG file from Engineering build - USED IN STEP 9 (Attached to Post #2 - md5: 830C28C64A02023CB806306326070F7B)

- PC36IMG.zip | Mirror (FTP - Thanks Nick!) | Mirror (FileFactory) | Mirror (4shared) - USED IN STEP 10 - 3.70 Froyo ROM with 2.10 HBOOT - md5: 7056D42812AA5DF03FCC8DDDC2B64E85

so if i need thows files in thows steps then that takes me back to my first question

why would i be doing a new recovery with the ra recov when i already didi it with the dev meth is my phone getting wiped again with cap meth to were i have to re do the recov

mikemike1234 · Jul 18, 2013

and here as i am reading the steps it is asking for this part on step 3

3) Install custom recovery (previously downloaded from OP) using fastboot
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [name of recovery file]

or Android Flasher

so it is asking for a custom reco or a androed flasher

mikemike1234 · Jul 18, 2013

on on step 3 how do i get to that command window that is showing cuz it dose nto tell you in the step were or how to get to that window

it asuming that it is already there an running like in other steps or guides it tell you to go here and open the comm window

and sents i am abeginner would it be easer to use the android flasher cuz it looks fromt eh pics on teh guide easy to use

ans orry for all the questions

sorry for all the questions

ocnbrze · Jul 18, 2013

if you have recovery then you can obviously just skip that step. capt's guide assumes you did not do the htcdev part yet. since you did....just skip it.

mikemike1234 · Jul 18, 2013

and now it says as ia m reading that in this step

4) Boot into recovery, flash latest superuser (3.07, with 3.0.3.2 binary - previously downloaded from OP)
NOTE: If you get an error when flashing this zip file (i.e. signature verification failed), there is an option to "Toggle Signature Verification" under the "Flash zip menu". Do that, and then try flashing again.

then a pic shows up on this step and says this in teh pic

so do i confirm yes to this ?

and step 5

it says Reboot device, enable USB Debugging (Settings -> Applications -> Development), and disable "Fast Boot".

so is it going ot ask me that after it is done or do i asum after i confirm to the step for i pull the bat and restart it or what thsis is very verg

mikemike1234 · Jul 18, 2013

so then were do i realy need ot start then on what step cuz it look like ot me that

cuz in step one it says to fall the dev guid to unlock then move on to step to after that so

ia m already unlocked threw the dev meth

and this things i am asking about are in steps 3 and 4

ocnbrze · Jul 18, 2013

if you have superuser already.....being already unlocked and flashed on a custom rom(correct?....mikg?) then you have su.....check your app drawer for superuser app.

step 5 is where you want to start if you have su.

mikemike1234 · Jul 18, 2013

ki have the su on my phone i got that when i did the dev and recov

mikemike1234 · Jul 18, 2013

k i got the #

so now in step 9 the pic shows the commands to enter as this

input the following commands, as seen in the picture below:
Code:
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image [ENTER]chmod 755 /data/flash_image [ENTER]/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img [ENTER

do i need to enter it like that above or do i need to do it like this

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

and then hit enter on each line

mikemike1234 · Jul 18, 2013

k i have update complete and now restarting an now finihYou will need to use unrevoked3, which will install a custom recovery and unlock your NAND with unrevoked forever (Wiki here, guide here - starting under "SECTION 2: ROOTING PROCEDURE"). TIP: Make sure your device is disconnected when first running the unrevoked3 "reflash_package.exe". When it opens, choose "File", then "Custom Recovery ...". Navigate to the location of your preferred RA recovery.img file, and select. Then, when it's done, you'll be NAND unlocked, and have your preferred custom recovery!

sed so i here at this part

so now i need to do the unrevoked part right

mikemike1234 · Jul 18, 2013

k well i am now on software 2.2

and baseband 2.15.00.11.19

k i tryed doing one of the unrevoked guides and ti say that my phoen software is not suported or somthing like that so now what do i do

mikemike1234 · Jul 18, 2013

my hoboot says this

no water mark

shiped s-on

hboot 2.10.0001
baseband 2.15.00.11.19

this should be right right

mikemike1234 · Jul 18, 2013

please advise what guide to use cuse i have been looking at all of them and they all taking me to teh same guide to anotther same guide

mikemike1234 · Jul 18, 2013

ok i think i need to be were i need ot be i have one more question when i reflash during the unrevoked3 meth it say i well be instailing clockwork mod is there a way i can put the nandroed instead of that clockwork or do i need ot put the clockwork on there first . and then reflash the nandrod ru file to get the nandroed recov

Mikestony · Jul 18, 2013

Hiya mikemike

I see you have done the Cap't method?
And you have just completed step 11?

mikemike1234 · Jul 18, 2013

yes and i confused on which way to go i beleave i found the way but unsure

Mikestony · Jul 18, 2013

I have heard here and there the unrevoked does not work....don't quote me on that. The evo's I have rooted, I have gone the revolutionary route....meaning that in step 10, I used the alternate PC36IMG...not Froyo.

Captain_Throwback said:
If you'd prefer to root/NAND unlock using Revolutionary, you can substitute the Froyo ROM file (in Step 10) with a Gingerbread ROM file (any version up to 4.54). The latest version unlockable with Revolutionary can be found here.

Quote taken from here:

[GUIDE] How to achieve S-OFF after unlocking 2.18 HBOOT with HTCDev.com - No More Watermark!

- theMikMik

I think Ocn may know if Unrevoked is working or not.
Or, you can install the PC36IMG file and then s-off with revolutionary.
