I just recieved my EVO and it currently is running build number 3.26.651.6 and I revieved an update notification for 3.29.651.5 and did not execute the update. I intend to Root my phone using unrevoked3 and want to know if I can upgrade it before rooting or need to update it first and then upgrade using a custom ROM. Your help is greatly appreciated....Chuck
If you plan on rooting your phone why even bother with the update. Just root and flash a rom based on the latest OTA. I don't have an answer if unrevoked works with the latest OTA.
Revoked definately works, cause I just got my Evo a few days ago, and did all updates. Now I'm rooted and running CM6.
Depends on if you want to install a different ROM or not. I'd say go for it, root, and then create a nand backup as your original.
I was in the exact same situation. I did the official OTA update so it would flash all the new radios, PRI, PRL, etc. Then ran Unrevoked and installed Amon's RA recovery, then ran Unrevoked Forever, and then flashed Fresh.
Is there an advantage to running Amon's RA? I can't find a tutorial on how to install that. I'm using Clockwork recovery, and I'm just not a fan... I hated it on my Hero! =)

It wouldn't work. So I had to go old school, and flash the recovery image. Thanks so much, this is so much nicer!
Chuck, how's the progress?
You can also flash Amons RA when you run Unrevoked 3.21.

Thanks for all the help. I went ahead and rooted using unrevoked3 without updating. Worked great. Next I'll work on the update

Oops.. guess I'm too late, but for anyone else wondering, I would say do all the updates up to 3.29 so everything is latest.. radios etc. Then root and make a nandroid. Now you have rooted 3.29 stock, which is a good place for first time rooters to start. Also this way you keep all your data if rooted stock is all you want.
All I am interested in is Wireless tethering on stock android. Is it possible to do the OTA update no that i am rooted and then root again using Unrevoked? Thanks for the help...Chuck

Make a nandroid, then try and do the OTA. See what happens. If it goes through, you'll lose root, so just re-root and install wireless tether and you're done. If not, you'll have to grab a stock rooted rom and latest radios/wimax and flash them all, then add the wireless tether app.
I would have advised updating. It would get you the updated radio and wimax in a more proper fashion.

ok, I just rooted my evo 2. 2 with the new root method and been able to flash other roms except CM6 RC2.. can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or this new root method doesn't unlock nand.?
sent from androikay evo =]
1) It works for ALL EVO's.
2) Give us details! What doesn't work? What error messages do you get? What recovery are you using? We can't help unless you give details!
Had same problem. Follow Toasts part two method for full nand unlock. Then remember to wipe, flash rom, and flash latest radios. Done

wtf are you talking about?
clockwork is working fine here flashing CM6 and always has.
For the members who had 2.2 unrooted, and are using the new root method, cm6 needs an extra step before it can be flashed.
After doing the root process with unrevoked, you need to do this step:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764062
After that's done, you can flash cm6
So I really want to try out the new mashup rom, however it requires the latest version of hboot.
I have a few questions regarding hyboot.
1. What is hboot
2. Are there any advantages/improvements/differences between the newest version and the one that came stock?
3 . If I upgrade to this and find out I do not like the rom, would a nandroid back up resore the previous hyboot?
4. If a nandroid doesn't restore the previous, does cm6 work with the newest version? If not, how would I go about downgrading?
I think you mean HBOOT...

1. Bootloader.
2. none that I know of or noticed
3. No a nandroid does not change bootloader. You need a special img file to use in hboot to flash back to an older version and also need S-OFF (unrevoked forever) to do so
4. You should not have to update hboot to install any rom. The latest OTA works fine on any hboot I believe, I have hboot .79 on my phone. You don't need .92 for anything to work properly. CM6 will work fine with all hboots.
hyboot is far superior to hboot....... duh

Thanks for mocking me. Incredible does rom (the cm6 mash up) needs hboot. 92 A
Adrynalyne has a ROM (Fourth Wave) that needs .92 HBOOT as well. First mock is free.
yes .92 is the latest and it rules. lol.
apparently the new kernel source is picky about hboot for some reason.
there are some differences with .92 but who cares really. if you need it for the rom/kernel you want then flash it. plus you now will have the latest.
can someone post a link for the 92. HBOOT i have been looking for it to Flash please

Would I upgrade this like I would with a radio?
Installed like a radio,ended up in the reboot loop in the boot loader. Had to access clock work recovery and do a nandroid backup.
now I have the latest version without any additional problems
I also got in to an hboot loop after updating to .92. I was able to get it running again by accessing Clockworkmod and doing an advanced restore of boot from my last nandroid backup.
I guess I just can't help but tinker with these things. One day it will catch up to me I guess.
FYI, the hboot loop occurs because installing hboot wipes your kernel. Install a kernal and you'll be good to go, no nandroid required.

Yeah, that didn't work for me. Flashed the new HBOOT, stuck in loop, pushed Kings #4 w/recovery, still stuck in HBOOT loop. Reflashed ROM w/o wipe, everything's back to normal.

Thanks for the link... anyone have a hashfile to compare the download to?
The .92 HBOOT has a larger partition size than the previous versions, so yes there is an advantage to the newest bootloader. Just be advised that flashing the .92 will result in your old backups (nandroids) to no longer work. You'll have to make new backups.
I really would like the ability to completely backup my Evo, wipe batt stats, clear caches, wifi tether, and some other things but I DONT WANT A CUSTOM ROM.
i am perfectly happy with stock sprint rom.
everywere i read about rooting the way the tutorials are worded they make it sound like you have to use a custom rom...
id like to use unrEVOked.
could someone help me out, thanks...
I used unrEVOked Forever and rooted my phone. It was easy and quick. It rooted it and kept the stock rom. I used it for like 2 weeks then decided I would try Warm. If you use unrEVOked, it should keep the stock rom and be rooted. After that, it's your choice to swap roms. I like Warm because it has the stock Sprint hotspot enabled.

You can do all of that and still use a stock ROM.
You don't have to use a custom rom unrevoked installs a stock rooted and you can still update it ota but you loose root if you do custom roms sometimes add some tweaks and functionality that you don't get from stock so they are worth looking at.

Use unrevoked forever after unrevoked 3 so you have nand unlocked to do the full backups the other reason is you can get root back slot easier after update

Your right it does but if you read on just about any forum here it's not a full unlock but by using unrevoked forever you get s-off or security-off which when you're talking about stock rooted lets you upgrade and root without waiting for someone else to produce a stock rooted update rom.

Does anyone know when unrEVOked will be able to find a root for the Wildfire on 2.2.1? I hope they find it soon. From how much they've been delaying it seems like they just don't want to even try. Should I disable the Search online for updates feature so my phone stops updating?
* They will release it when they want to. We have no option or control over them. If they want to try, it is their wish, if they don't want to try, again it is their wish. Live with it.
* If you are already on 2.2.1, there's no point disabling search for updates because it is extremely unlikely there will be any.
*Sigh*, why cant you read already existing threads before creating another one? Is it too hard?
omfg! seems like you have disabled search function for this forum, this topic gets posted at least once a day

WildPuzzle 2.2.1 (Or rather, ANY custom ROM), removes the updated HBOOT. So, obviously, 2.2.1 will be rootable in such cases.

No. You will not be able to use a Custom ROM over Stock 2.2.1 because installing a Custom ROM requires root.

If I understood what you said, then I dont think you have installed the official 2.2.1 update. I cant see that anywhere in your post. (Saying you applied the official 2.2.1 update).
When you went back to the Stock ROM, it was still at 2.1, which is why the HBOOT was still at 0.80. To install the official update, from the Stock ROM, you would have to accept the OTA Update, and then install it, which I don't think you did.

Not possible. There is some error in communication somewhere, but, if it were possible to directly put Custom ROMs over the official 2.2.1, we wouldnt have had threads like this everyday.
unless after you rooted and flashed, you then installed a ruu then updated you did not have 2.2. when you went back did you restore a nandroid backup?
you are able to install ota update on rooted phone

this is the rom i used to get the 2.2 upgrade http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LF2TWEHJ
But isn't it possible to modify oryginal rom from HTC to downgrade HBOOT , and then make Wildfire rootable? Or make some crash in HBOOT witch will allow to root? That's a lot of ways, is it possible that HTC make Wildfire really unrootable on 2,2,1? That they make unlockable bootloader? Like a motorola?
Hey there, my friend has a shift and has not updated it to GB. He wants it rooted and I want to do it for him. I am good with the HBOOT and flashing roms with HTC. I was just wondering if there are any rooted stock roms or any rooted kernals I could flash without having to go thru one of those rooting programs. Much more comfortable flashing from Hboot lol.
THANKS

If he is still on the shipped 2.2 ROM then you can use the perm root instructions found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932153and then use rom manager to flash your recovery and there are optimized stock ROMS like MikShift V1.1 and BCnice20 has some great kernels.

I think he's asking if there are any roms he can flash through HBOOT instead of using a recovery. And the answer would be no. Are you scared to flash a recovery? Its easy as pie.
