I have a EVO 4g fully rooted and romed and themed up so my friend with a DX wanted to the same on his phone. So I read forums and wiki here and still a bite confused trying to make sure I know what I'm doing before I root his phone. Bear with me please. So as I read I can root his DX with z4root app then get rom manager to flash clockwork mod recovery and go into recovery and flash roms?? I got confused becuase some roms and places talk about a bootstrap x recovery. Can someone please help me understand the process for the DX aka Evo's Moto Half Brother lol. Thanks guyz
Wrote up a quick Guide over at the INFECTED ROM forums. Here's the link if anyone is having trouble rooting and flashing. If you're completely new to the game head over and check it out.

Thanks for this
No problem. at the time of posting there were no guides out and I noticed a lot of people having problems so I threw one together and put it up.
Just flashed the Synergy ROM on my EVO, but it has been at the white "htc EVO 4G " screen for about 10 minutes. is that bad?

THANKS! worked great.
my question is about this part
"From here the first thing I did was download the AMON RA recovery because it's generally more stable and will allow the flashing of older roms and zip files. The newest version can be found in this thread"
Is this required? I am a complete rooting newb, have wanted to for a while, then as i was ready, the update came.
U can simply use the su-2.3.6..3 ef signed .zip
that u flash in recovery to get superuser on the phone that blue clockwork mod flashes all the roms back and forth froyo to ginger and back just fine
or download rom manager and flash the orange cwm that does all of them too for sure!
okay so iv had my tab for awhile now and had no need to root it since i used my phone for everything. iv been playing around on android for a bit now and before my milestone i had fun with windows mobile. so please do flame me as dumb and that i didnt look first. i see the bible for our tabs and that the root method doesnt work now. i used heimdall to flash a stock rooted ver of froyo and now it boots but i cant get past the activation screen. yes i have dont the vol up once vol down twice thing. it wont work and just sits on the screen. i can get past it. so now im about to go all the way back to stock and start over. if someone who is more familiar with the fourms then i am can post the links and steps i need to do to get back to a rooted tab that would be great and id be forever thankful. from then on im ok i bought that bootstrapper from the maket to save me time (plus i enjoy giving money to those who work hard for my free entertainment) oh btw should have said it first. i have the vzw i800 tab. thanks so much folks i really just want a working tab again. oh one last thing i have cm9 running ony my phone and love it...whats everyones thoughts on it for the tab?
once again thank you
so i get it this was a tall order and after getting everything working last night im up and runnning with a cwr rooted and on froyo....i wanna jump up to hc or cm9, or some kind of ics but i dont see much and the two i looked at and tried, the dl links are broke...so can anyone point me to the links of working hc or ics for a vzw tab please

i guess at this point i just need to make it ext 4. what vzw kernel is best for this? thanks for the replay
You don't need to make it ext4, you need a custom recovery so can flash ICS using CWM. The ICS zip will repartition and reformat anyway, so you have no need of converting to ext4.
You need a kernel with custom recovery (version 3.x or greater).

im good then i have cm on it and i think its 3.0 i tried flashing 5.x with rom manager and t started acting funny till i rebooted the recovery. i tried to install cm9 but it told me there was a problem with the package and gave me a code 7 i think. maybe it was a bad dl. ill try and redownload right now and try again. the first time i did everything manually but this time i was lazy and bought the bootstapper. i should be good right? thanks for your help.
i just re dl it and checked the md5. everything was fine. tried to install it and gave me the same thing. error in sd card/cm9 blah blah blah.zip (status 7) this is the step im having problems with
Which cm9 you tried to flash.
Maybe the GSM one?
Better go to rootzwiki.com and look for jt1134's ICS built there.

going to that site now. i hope it works. im kind of pissed off. every rom i try the dl link is broken or it doesnt flash. im back to stock re rooted and did the bootstrap. i just wanna get off of froyo at this point.
sorry if I am leading you on a chase.
I am not a CDMA user, that is why I don't really know where you should get your CDMA build.
But I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24986629&postcount=756
Go there, and find on 2nd line that says Alroger's Downloads.
That points to Alroger's external site.
He has a P1000CDMA build of the "TE4M version of CM9"
That will be your best bet.
jt1134 is also a TE4AM dev I think, or at least lots of his code in it.

no your not leading me to anywhere bad. its just a lack of upkeep on a old deivce its just harsh. im on that site you told me about and im finding a lot. im thankful youre helping me with this. do you know why im getting a error code (status 7) any and everytime i try flashing cm9? this is the nly things that stands in my way
from what I understand, error 7 is when the device you are flashing is not supported by the package.
Say earlier you tried to flash a p1000 rom into a cdma device.
I am almost convinced that if you get the right package, namely the one for cdma or "p1c" build, you should be able to flash it.
jt1134 is the most knowledgeable on CDMA CM9 builds.
yeah im on p1c builds and cdma builds....do you think its because im trying to go from froyo right to ics with out gb? should i flash cubbed in heimdall (3.2.x) before going to ics? or does it not matter on this device?
once again im so thankful for your help
which CWM version you have?
Apparently you need to have the latest 5.x.x ?
3.0...damn i didnt even think of that and i sould have thats whats going on with the photon right now. trying now thanks
that worked! thanks for the help

Start with asking in the Q&A thread before you get flamed here.

Sorry
i still don't understand why people post questions in the Android Development forums instead of the Q & A...like seriously...do they think their questions are considered "Android Development"?

You have not successfully flashed recovery if you get the red triangle. Keep trying.
Slow way down and read the guides more carefully. The fact that you posted this thread under development shows me that you obviously aren't reading directions very carefully.

Hi guys, this is my first time posting anything here but i made an attempt at putting together a root and cwm installing .bat file.
Basically what i did was mix thecubed's and WACOmalt's root and cwm code so that you can do everything in one go.
If you guys feel up to it can you try it out and let me know what you think.
btw: i'm believe this should go in G2 Android Development (Verizon) but im not allowed to put it there yet.
finally here is the link to it...
