I got the root, took 5 minutes but anything after that, not so good.
I spent all day trying to root, nand, flash and am left with nothing but frustration. I had problems with htc sync, still do. Clockwork recovery won't flash and I can't flash a rom from the sd card or usb cable.
I like to tinker but it just doesn't seem worth it. jailbreaking my iphone was a cinch compared to this. I'm very frustrated because I was looking forward to what a custom rom could provide and to getting froyo early.
Thinking of going back to stock and trying the unrevoked method (can I just apply the unrevoked method or do I have to revert back to stock and then try it?) and if that doesn't work just stick with the root.
What method are you using? What errors or problems are you running into? You need to provide more details in order for anyone to be able to help you. Rooting the Evo and nand unlocking has never been easier (unless you are running the latest OTA).
Edit: You don't need to post multiple threads for the same issue. If you're not get any replies, it's most likely because you didn't provide enough info.
yeah i been trying to get that clockwork to install too i cant find a zip for it or anything. I am rooted but still dont have any idea how to enable su to use the rom manager app. i tried that idiot proof which is missing the link for clockwork. I also tried the the simple root but when i hit the exe i get a error. i had almost no issues with the hero i been trying for all day too. I am amazed no one else had another link for that clockwork recovery.zip i woulda been done hours ago. very very frustrating but i am sure its my own fault for being a nubbbbb lol. sucks too cause i work all weekend and i wanted to get this done on my day offf.. which was today
you don't flash recovery using a zip. You need to flash the img. I just checked the clockwork thread, the links do appear to be down. Use Amon_RA

About half way down the page you'll see a list of phones, click the EVO. Clockwork recovery will begin downloading.
imo don't use clockwork, people have been reporting problems with wiping with it.
Where does the recovery clockwork img go?

It is if you had apps2sd stuff on it from another rom. That's where I ran into problems. I've seen other threads where people reported it not wiping cache correctly. I never saw that personally though.

Hey guys, I'm running Froyo OTA on my DX and I was wondering if someone could help me speed this bad boy up a bit. I want to overclock just a little so my PSX Emulator will run a bit smoother. I am fairly new to the Android community and do not have much knowledge when it comes to this stuff.
I have SetCPU but it only goes up to stock CPU speed. I have come to understand that I need a new kernel that will allow me to bump it up over stock clock.
I do not want to go too high (Was thinking around 1.1Ghz, maybe a little higher?) because from what I understand, it is already clocked pretty high out of the factory. If anyone can help me understand a bit better I would greatly appreciate it.
I need to find the correct kernel and figure out how to install or whatever without turning my phone into a paper weight.
Help please?
You can't OC the DX on the Froyo yet. We could do it on 2.1 but not 2.2.
Also, the PSX emulator is not coded very well and the stuttering and horrible playing experience on it is due to bad coding and also a fairly weak GPU on the DX.
If you want the best gaming experience at this point in time, get the Sanding Fascinate. Its CPU and especially GPU runs circles around the DX. However, you will still have to wait until the coding gets better for that emulator.

Yes- you do need a custom kernel and there aren't any yet. The bootloader is locked and they are working on cracking it. Until then- no goodski.
Thanks, but there is a new problem...
Ah, I see. So I wait then. haha, but I have a new problem now.. I installed Tranquility and now all my stupid phone does when I power up is show the loading screen. It's been doing it for a good 15 minutes now. I know it is off subject but can someone tell me how to remove this Rom?

Well the first and most important question is - did you back up your original rom before you loaded tranquility- bc if not - it is bad news. If you backed up- then you can restore your back up. If you didn't- well- I am not sure what you can do. I will wait to hear if you have a back up.
If you can't figure it out, you could flash the newly released sbf.

Yes- just in time- you can now restore your system bc the SBF was just leaked last night. Google...

and you will be directed to several sites that have the file hosted.
That is just great news! I have to find a way to charge my battery though... I am friends with a few of the verizon guys so maybe I can get them to charge my battery on one of the DX's in the store. Thanks guys, I'll try the new VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01.sbf!
u dont have to use 2.2 SBF. if you can reload back to ClockworksMod Recovery, dl the OTA 2.2 Deodexed Update.zip file here.

Got it to 1.15 Ghz, I managed to get it stable at 1.17 Ghz. still tinkering though.
Hi peeps, I'm looking to install a custom kernal like Phoenix 1.49 or Xtreme 1.0 and possibly a custom rom. Everytime I've tried to flash them via Rom Manager/CWM it says Signature Verification Failed. What am I doing wrong. Titanium Backup says I have Superuser access so I believe I still have root. I bought the paid Rom Manager so I could do all this but I am still getting this error. It's really starting to push me towards the edge. I'm off work till the 3rd of January due to knee surgery so I decided to read up on rooting and flashing custom roms and kernels. I have no clue what I am doing wrong. Someone please help me.
Thanks
Tom
Did you use the one click root with clockwork mod? You can't use Rom manager to install clockwork mod while on stock kernel. I'm not sure what steps you have done but you don't have clockwork if u did it thru rom manager
http://forum.androidcentral.com/epic-4g-roms-hacks/42178-rooting-ultimate-guide-v1-0-2-a.html
This is the link that I followed to root. If I'm not supposed to post this on here I apologize. But if you have the time to check this through I would greatly appreciate it.
Tom
You cannot use ROM Manager to flash anything while using the stock kernel. Perform the following steps to boot into ClockworkMod Recovery.
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Hold down VOL DOWN + CAMERA + POWER
3. You should be in ClockworkMod Recovery (Green Text)
4. Flash Phoenix/Xtreme kernel.
5. Reboot
Now you can use ROM Manager to flash anything.
When I do that all that comes up is
Reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition.
Nothing about my kernel on my sdcard. Does it not have to be in a zip folder or something?
Oh, you never installed ClockworkMod Recovery, which is a requirement to flash 3rd party mods.
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388
Followed it and still the same thing
I was getting this error when I first got my epic and it was because I was booting into stock recovery (red text). Make sure you are in Clockwork Recovery (green text) as mentioned above by holding Vol down, Camera, and Power when your phone is off. Hope this helps.
That's exactly what I wasn't doing I was just rebooting from Rom Manager Manually lol. My noob mistake. I have it working and installed BakedSnack 1.6 rom any feedback on this rom or is there a better rom/kernel combo that I should use?

It's all about what you prefer. I used one of the new odin updates to install dk28 and flashed Mammon's rom and have been loving it especially after applying the gingerbread theme. I'm so content with it I don't plan on flashing anything until they get cyanogenmod or a ported gingerbread out.

I was flashing CM7. This is what I did:
Rooted, ClockworkMod v3.0.0.5 from Rom Manager.
From recovery did a BackUp (seems useless because it doesn't do anything.)
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe Cache partition
Install zip from sdcard - selected cm7 - got a Status Error 7
Now the phone won't boot, stays on the Google screen, I can get into the recovery though.
Any ideas? I am downloading the Stock 2.3.3 image.
Thanks!

I think your problem is because you are using the clockwork mod for I9020, where as for rogers you should be using clockwork for i9023 -- at least this was my case, I have i9020a rogers
you can get it from this link 2nd file.
after using this one you shouldn't be getting "E: can't mount cache" and you shall be able to repeat rooting/flashing steps.

Hi all,
Here's short history of the phone:
Friend of mine drop his on the concrete about June of last year and whole screen was cracked (not pretty). About month ago I found LCD Screen with Digitizer on ebay bought it and replaced it.
After turning it on everything was working except random reboots. Phone was not registered to any account so there was no internet only WI-FI.
So I started going into system updates and downloading HTC updates it did two of them and I think on the 3rd one it just starts to boot white HTC EVO 4G screen comes on and then it reboots.
Only pulling the battery will stop it.
This is all on stock HTC Sense ROM, rooting was never attempted!
I've searched thru the forums here but everything here relates to failed rooting process.
Can someone please make any suggestions?
Bellow is the pictures of boot loader.
Help is greatly appreciated!

Followed the instruction, run RUU and it starts to check the phone after this I get error[170]: USB connection error.
I've tried over 10 times.
Step 4 says "Make sure USB debugging is enabled on your phone."
I can't even log into Sense?
The only other thing you can do is find a PC36IMG.zip and put it on your microSD card, then reboot into the bootloader. It should find it and reflash everything, the same as using the RUU.

I've tried using this method found here
I placed PC36IMG.zip in root of the SD card. But when I boot into recovery I can see for about 3 seconds on the right side status bar how it checks PC36IMG.zip file but then it goes back to recovery. It never ask me if I want to update like it says in the above tutorial "Do you want to start update?"
Any other suggestions?

I had to unroot mine and I found that u have to have the right pc36img file. If you dont know what ver rom was running then you may need to try them all. But I had the same problem it just wouldent install the file. Keep trying and if you need help finding them Ill help ya.
I found this but its not the same place I got mine from. http://www.filecrop.com/htc-evo-4g-roms.html
Thanks for the reply!
Somewhat of a progress. I tried countless times and it always gives me USB connection error: Then I downloaded HTC Sync and and I think I went to Hboot and I heard sound on windows it seemed like phone got recognized and I was able to finish the processes. It was flashed using RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.70.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed. Then when I went to again in recovery it was again red triangle over the phone.
After that I just let it try to boot and it finally booted into HTC sense!
Turned on WI-FI and wanted to check if there's any updates and it said no updates?
This is what recoveries I've tried so far:
Amon RA 2.1.1
Amon RA 2.2.1
Amon RA 2.3 (Added 02/09/2011)
Stock Recovery 3.26.651.6 (Added 01/18/2011)
Stock Recovery 3.29.651.5 (Added 01/18/2011)
Stock Recovery 3.30.651.3 (Added 01/18/2011)
Stock Recovery 3.70.651.1 (Added 01/18/2011)
One by one I tried each one renaming to PC36IMG.zip and none of them asked me if I want to do the update. It just checks it and goes back to bootloader.
Why do I get red triangle?
What should I do now?
Help is appreciated!
My wife got me a brand new A500 off ebay a couple of months ago for a Christmas gift(for me it's only three days old). So far I love it but it will not take the OTA update that it keeps bugging me about. The download starts fine but then stalls out mid download. I looked here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878 but did not see my current version there. Can anyone point me in the direction of the OTA I need to download and flash with recovery? My build is Acer_a500_1.145.09_com_gen1 I'm running 3.0.1. It looks like it's trying to download 4.010.11.
Further info:
According to the log the file name is Acer_A500_1.145.09_4.010.11_com_gen1_1311243587838_bd1ab95c.zip
I can't find that file anywhere on the net.
The reason I would suspect is because someone replaced the stock recovery? Off eBay you say, was it brand new and never used? It sounds like it was used or someone tampered with it?
If that's not the case, then you can just install the update manually. Download the update you want and put it on your external SDCard and then enter recovery (using power and volume). The recovery will install the update for you.

It said it was brand new. My wife would not buy something like this used. The weird thing is it knows it has an update and it starts to download and get's up to half way downloaded and then it just stops. It shows that it still is pulling data but the downloaded file size doesn't increase anymore after it stalls.
Ive been looking into rooting it and since I'm on 3.0.1 it appears Gingerbreak is all I need. The next question is what rom should I get and how do I go about installing it? I've never rooted droid before and most instructions on XDA are written for the experienced level and not the new guy. I'd like to stay fairly stock but rooted.

Yes, if you want to flash 3.2.1 stock with root read the instructions in the download. The download has everything in it.
The soft reset everyone talks about is using the paperclip in that little hole next to the USB port.
