Hey everyone I'm a total noob to rooting. However yesterday I tried rooting with revoked afer getting the evo last Friday. I followed the step by step instructions on Droid demons. Every thing goes fine until it reboot the evo an says "failure to flash recovery image" all three times I tried. What can I do to fix it? I don't have HTC sync or anything else on my pc. An I downloaded all of the drivers. Please help. Thanks in advance
Little more info would help. Did it go thru the entire process. Did it reboot. At what point did you get said message?
It went through the process up till the reboot at which that's when I get the message.
Did u change the drivers in device manager?
Yeah I did the drivers too

Sorry to be a hassle, but I just can't figure this out!!
I've rooted my phone with the "new clarified method" thread, gotten to the clockwork mod and everything, but once I've done that I just cannot get the Unrevoked 2 to work. I've tried it on Windows 7, xp, and osx, and nothing seems to work! The main issue I'm getting is that it'll do the whole process, and then I think it says "reboot to recovery" and then I just get that old phone with a red triangle error. What could I possibly be doing wrong??? It can't be driver issues, because doesn't OSX do that automatically?
I had a similar issue on windows 7 and a simple pc reboot seemed to work for me.
Nope, still no luck. Am I supposed to put these Reflash files on the phone somewhere? I just feel like I'm missing some big step or something. Why is there no good tutorial on this process yet?
Oh my god I think I'm going to go insane! Please someone, point me in the right direction! I have done this hundreds of times now, I'm gonna die. All I can get is "Done!" and then my phone is showing me a big dumb red exclamation point triangle thingy. What am I doing wrong??????
Was I supposed to do something once I first reached the clockwork on my initial root? Cuz all I did was reboot to OS. I don't know if anybody can tell, but I'm kinda desperate. hah
Did you make sure that the phone is recongized in the device manager once plugged in? Need to help us out tell me what you have done so far? Did you install the SDK USB Drivers?
when at the command prompt, did you type adb devices? Does your device show up as connected?

I was having the same problem also until I ran reflash.exe and the command prompt both as admin. I also reran Android SDK installing all of the updates. After plugging in the phone, the SDK picked up two more updates, one of which was USB drivers. Once I did that, things seemed to have worked.
Use attn1's method. The clarified method didnt work for me properly.
I assume you never flashed a rooted rom after reaching clockwork mod. If not the phone is not yet rooted. You have to get back to clockwork recovery and flash a rooted rom (either attn1's liberated one or his stock rooted rom). Both found in his liberated thread. Then set up all the drivers for unrevoked and run it. It should work then.
When my phone is just sitting in bootloader, it is not recognized by adb devices.
You have to go through the whole loop process again booting your phone into recovery and connecting the usb cable.

Thats not good, try reformatting your sd card on your pc with an external reader not with your phone and try again. I'm almost certain it needs to be recognized by adb devices when in bootloader.
Just managed to install the Liberated beta ROM, but now unrevoked can't even get past superuser privelages. it's not popping up anymore
Nevermind, it gets past superuser now, but now it just says "waiting for reboot" and completely reboots the phone to the point at which i can use it regularly
Have you installed the hboot drivers?
Re-ran unrevoked?
Edit: Does it reach "done!"?
Yes, yes, and yes. And my phone just keeps getting to the red triangle. doesn't make any sense to me! And at this point, I'm positive I have no drivers getting in the way like Sync etc., and I'm sure HBoot is installed correctly.
Go to the android market and download titanium backup. It requires root so if it installs we know that you are at least rooted.
Try this, because I had the same problem. Go into device manager with Revoked2 says waiting for reboot. Look under devices above my computer or below cant remember and right click uninstall and remove the android device. reboot your computer then see if it installs are does it automatically, if not don't do anything just plug the phone in and get to hboot/ red triangle screen, then try revoked2 again. This finally got loop to read my device then when I got to clockwork I loaded "liberated rom"
Screw revoked2, just get to clockwork recovery and have liberated rom on your SD card ready to go. Then after install I ran revoked2 for clockwork mod.
Good Luck

Hey guys,
Im not new to flashing roms etc,
but this is the first time i have so much trouble with it.
I read the streak how to PDF and followed the instructions on installing superboot.
when i installed superboot, the phone reset itself, and when it turns on, the dell logo shows up and the "home and menu" led starts flashing on and off and the restarts again.
I tried following the instuctions on how to restore the phone, but none of it worked. i specifically followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=805112
and when i try to flash the update.pkg, i get an error at the end about the boot bin or something like that.
anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
I heard something about a QDL tool i could use...not sure what that is and i couldnt find an exact answer searching the forums.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: found a guide on using the QDL tool, im going to try it now wish me luck lol
If u got yours from best buy u need to use QDL. Read carefully and just do as it says
thanks for the tip, it is indeed the best buy exclusive white one....running qdl as we speak
ok everything is good now!
i just need to figure out why when i try to install dj steves rom it gives me
"failed to verify signature"
ok so now i am having a hard time rooting the phone.
I am using the android 2.2 provided from QDL and am trying to root via universal androot which isnt working for me.
any other ways i can root?
note: im using a best buy dell streak
If you are updating to his 1.6 then you dont need to root it.
It it pre-rooted
thanks, I figured it out.
It turns out that the "how to pdf" (while an amazing guide) linked me to outdated versions of the the recovery which is why it would not work.
everything is working now,
running steves 1.6 and loving life. Thanks every one for your help!!!!!

Moving to General
ok so I try to load a Update.pkg file and i get the following error message.
FOTA model name mismatched
what is the FOTA?
Ok so I managed to install 2.3.5 Official!
Now I need to root, install CWM and flash Aurora!
The problem is I CANT ROOT, SuperOneClick crashes after a few seconds from the time I press ROOT!
Please I need major help , I am stuck at this ugly ROM!
Have you installed the ADB drivers? When I was rooting using Superoneclick I forgot to install them. If you need to go to this page:
huaweidevice.co.in/Support/FAQ/
scroll down to the bit that says "How do I install the ADB driver?" without quotation marks and open that. I used the instructions there for my phone and it worked without a problem.
Yeah that was the prob, I installed the drivers and everything happened as it should but now I am facing another problem -.-
I rebooted the phone and its bricked, It is stuck at a BLUE screen and cont do a ****, I am tired!
I wiped cache data dalvik or wtvr but still nothing I dont know what to do know!
The pink screen aint working to detect the mobile!
I am desparate -.- And I REALLY did everything as I should followed instructions step by step after reading a thousand times!
HELP
-Sorry, bad advice, just look at the other thread you made-
I am back at this situation! I cant root I installed drivers I did everything! SuperOneClick jsut crashes
Pretty sure I soft(hopefully) bricked my phone. I had my phone unlcocked and rooted with the darkside rom. I had been putting off installing the new update because I knew doing it OTA wouldn't work and I wasn't quite sure how to do it otherwise without step by step instructions on here. The update thing kept popping up and at one point I accidentally clicked yes to download it and just now after a about a week of the install thing popping up I clicked yes. Now when the phone starts up, it fully loads to my main screen and then shuts off and goes to the little android guy installing and then it has the yellow exclamation point screen. It's been a while since I've done anything with the phone like unlocking it or anything so any help would be greatly appreciated.
try to wpie data, cache and dalvik. Next step is reflash Darkside
Ya as long as you can still get into recovery and or fastboot should be a easy fix with a little searching (i would check the noob guide for a butt load of how toos)
Dear reader,
After rooting my phone for a while and downloading all these apps I came upon ChainFire 3D. I downloaded it without checking and installed it without a big thought about the warnings it showed. Now when my phone reboots, the Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-i9500 logo appears but then the screen turns empty blank. So I went into recovery and wiped data. When I reboot, same thing happens. So I searched and panicked but didn't find good results. I thought if I use Odin it may work, so I flashed the stock recovery and root and then CWM. Tried again...still fails! So I downloaded the adb thing from Android, opened in cmd, everything fine but when i followed these instructions(from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362873) it did not work when I wrote 'su'. So I skipped to the next one, comments saying mount /system which already happened but it did not work. Now I don't know what to do and I feel sad and disappointing.
If anyone has a backup file which I can use to start and then reset or a solution to my problem please help!
Thanks to everyone!
Phone: GT-i9500
Recovery:CWM
Rooted:Yes
P.S I can tell more details about my device but you may need to reply.
Why do you post in noob thread, then about 5 minutes later open up this thread.
If you waited about 7 minutes you would have got an answer.
Obviously you spent as much time reading the rules as you did with chainfire 3d install instructions.
