I guess that's what the devs were referring to in recent days about reproducibility. You have to get a little lucky with the toggling.After you do these next 2 commands, start toggling Airplane Mode over and over until you acheive the desired results mention in a few steps.
I'm not exactly a noob, but after reading the xda step by step, I'm gonna wait until someone comes up with an easier process or program to help out. I just see too much room for small errors that will create problems.
For me the issue is that the developer assumes some terminology and processes that I am not familiar with. I never heard of Android SDK before reading his post. Where is the "adb tools directory"? What does "Now we chmod a few things" mean. I've heard of a "root shell" but not sure what that is either.
I'm also concerned about having to back up all my "user data". What all does that include? How can I do it? and how to I re-install it later?
There are a few other steps that scare me as well. He did say he would make it easier tomorrow, so I'll wait till then. All I really want is to get the hotspot without paying through the nose.
Boy the more I look at this, the more I do feel like a noob. I'm not really, I'm just not a developer!
Once back to stock 2.1, can i use simple root? or do i have to use unrevoked?
Assuming I understand the new procedure correctly, you can use simpleroot once you're back on stock 2.1.
As of a few hours ago,a new root has been posted on xda forums on how to root 2.2. The member who posted it will be posting a more simplified and comprehensive explanation in the next couple of hours so keep checking.he has already done it on his brother's phone.just thought I should share this with you guys
Root works, once you do the root, you can use simpleroot or unrevoked. I used simple root since with my first evo unrevoked did not do what i wanted. I believe now that unrevoked does full root and such, however simple root worked for me, and my fresh backup is restoring from my original evo! Thanks to all who made this work, and the waiting was worth it!
Great to hear that you got Simpleroot working once you were downgraded to 2.1. It's so much simpler than having to do the unrevoked3 and 4 stuff.
And for those that don't know, Simpleroot is a full unlock and root of your phone. Link is in my sig.
