Does everything works with Toast's root method?

Considering Toast's method is the only way to load custom ROMs I think his is the clear winner.
I started off with Unrevoked's and it was great for things like Titanium backup, but I decided to follow Toast's guide and it was really pretty simple.

I cant use the adb with the evo, no matter what i do windows dont find the drivers.
If i root with toast method, do i need to flash a custom rom? does everything works on yours?

For the drivers you have to goto the htc sync folder on your sd card and install the htc sync program.

You can't flash custom ROMs with unrEVOked. Instant fail. I also like having my ROM actually rooted, and not just reliant on some other app.

I dont have any htc sync folder, do i have to?

The poll should read what is the best way not what did you use. It is misleading.
Toasts root is the best because of the recovery. That is needed for custom ROMs, nand backups, and a host of underthings.
A lot of people used unrevoked because it was easy and are new to android so they don't know the difference yet at least.

Toast method ftw! Been following his work since the hero. What's the point of rooting if you can't flash custom roms???

Did you format your sd card? you can just download it from htc. goto the evo support section at htc.com and it is in the download section.

I hope this isn't insulting but just to cover all the bases, you have USB Debugging turned on, right?
I had a Hero before this so I didn't have to mess with drivers and cannot remember exactly how difficult it was with the Hero. What Operating System do you have? You can easily find adb drivers by Googling.

I've got it now, i was missing the HTC Sync part, gonna start backing up and see what happen, oh....can i unroot or uninstall unrevoked?

Don't worry about it, you'll be flashing a ROM over it. I was using unrevoked before I did Toast's method and it went fine.
Did you flash back to the .1 shipped software (upgrade was the .6)?

Go toast! though unrevoked is nice for those who don't want to tinker too much with the phone but want root

Unrevoked by far. Very clean and simple.
To reverse it? takes 20 seconds..
The REAL winner is who gets r/w access. THATS a rooted phone in my opinion.
flashing custom roms is awesome, but what good is it if you can't r/w the system. pfft.
I have faith that all the devs working on r/w access will pull through. Your work is so very appreciated!

z4root not working

i have been reading the noob root guide and have a problem. with 2.10 hboot installed, when i log in to shell, command for super user i get permission denied.the phone never showed anything on the screen. titanium backup shows not rooted.so at this point i think z4 root is not working.any ideas?

Did you take the 3.70 OTA update?

Last I checked, z4 doesn't work on the evo. There are other methods that work for the evo.

yes.
i hav been fallowing the noob root guide.

Well there you have it. It seems 3.70 patches the exploit that z4root was using to get access to root. AFAIK, there are no new exploits that can be used for root access on 3.70 so you'll have to wait.

you need to hit TEMPORARY root on z4root. make sure you are using the 1.3.0 version of z4root, because none of the earlier ones have temporary root. the temp root feature definitely works on evo. it is just a few simple lines of coding. not too difficult for an app.

did you ever figure out your radios? I figured out my issues with bad 4g.. I had to deroot my phone then reroot. So from day one I had 4g, I rooted and didnt check on sprint lovers rom if I had 4g. then I flashed fresh and didnt check until later and noticed no 4g... so then I flashed myns and nope.. but Istill had my RSAs and MACs...
so then I derooted and then rerooted. 4g from stock, 4g after root, 4g on sprint lovers and 4g on myns.

ruu is a program for pc that flashes over most partitions with the stock sprint unrooted rom. it is ALMOST the whole process of unrooting and is considered 'starting over'. google is your friend on these sort of things.

I am on 3.70, and like the Hulk have had issues getting z4root to work. After about 15 attempts, reinstalling the program, clearing data, etc. I got the program to work one time and did a Titanium backup of a few apps. Since then, I have been unable to get it to work again. Something in the process also rendered several of the apps that I moved to the SD card inoperable. I imagine a factory reset or RUU might do the trick, but I haven't taken those steps yet.

Rooting: Help, can't get passed Step 6

Ok, I'm ready to root my phone and wanted to install CyanogenMod on my MyTouch 4g. I'm following their wiki document (can't post the link here, it won't let me), but can't get passed step #6. When I enter the string "adb push su /sdcard/su", I get "failed to copy 'su' to '/sdcard/su' : Permission Denied
I skipped down a few steps and tried the 3rd line, "adb push rage /data/local/tmp/rage", it returned "5 kb/s (5392 bytes in 1.00s)." So that appears to have worked.
Any ideas?

Try using this method

If you wish to use the CM method you need to download/install VISIONary, and temp root the phone phone with "set system to r/w" and "run VISIONary.sh" both checked marked. prior to doing anything.
IF the link i supplied earlier i would high suggest looking for the thread called "post your eMMC serial number" in the general section, some information you might want to read.

The link i posted will turn your s-off, so yes you can do what ever you want given you know what your doing.
just a side-note, once your s-off you can flash whatever MyTouch 4G ROM you want. Cyanogen or other.
just make sure to install the Recovery Image. That is where you flash stuff from.
and keep in mind that is a Wikipage, anyone can edit it. Someone may of removed it.
When you see a "permission denied", that means you have a lack of SU access. Visionary will restore that SU access.

Wow, thanks for the info. I think your few posts put all the research i've done into perspective. Just to clarify, when you say "install the recovery image," what exactly do u mean? Is that like running the ClockWorkMod Recovery in ROM Manager?

pretty much, you can download Clockwork ROM Manager from the market place and having it "flash the recovery image". Or if you are familiar with ADB you can download the image directly from Koush's website and flash it from the ADB command prompt.

Wow, the instructions don't say that! I'm all confused. So I went ahead and did that, then go into ROM Manager, go thru the steps of installing CM7. It confirms my actions, then reboots. Upon bootup, I get the red-triangle. Battery-pull and back to square 2, I think... (since I still have s=off)

Some phones are tricky and wont root with the same methods. If you are daring you may try gfree method, but again like above read the emmc serial thread to gain perspective on whats happening with supposedly inferior emmc chips.

Ok ill look into that cause I tried this method didn't work was gonna try adb method Idk to much bout gfree

Without sounding like a jackwagon. You might want to take a peek into the "post your eMMC serial number" thread under the general section. It's becoming obvious that if you cannot root with the root.sh method your phone might have a bad eMMC. I would highly encourage you to look into that, along with the thread in my signature to get ADB up and running to determine if you have a serial number for a problematic eMMC.
If you do have have a problematic eMMC, i wouldn't perma root it or flash a new ROM.

Hahhaha, "sounding like a jackwagon!" that was funny. I'll check it out, thanks for all your help...

I have yet...
to figure out how to root my MyTouch 4g, nothing seems to work!

To All Those That Helped...
I was finally able to root my phone and start installing custom roms. In fact, I think I've turned into a ROM-Whore.
What I think did it, someone previous wrote, there seems to be a delay with the cache partition on the MT4Gs. So after I got S=off, I didn't immediately try and run Visionary again. Instead, I waited several hours (not by choice, something came up). When I attempted after that, whallla!
I've since been wiping and flashing, wow.
Now if I can get Swype to install.... LOL

I had trouble getting s-off with the unlockr,adb,wiki,z4root,newer visionary guides. Just gave up last night after that, he next morning did another search and found this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=995549
I had s-off in like 2 minutes... smh
THANK YOU HTC for finally realizing this shyt is a headache and unlocking your future phones /rant

[Q] Rooting without a sim card?

So I have an old MT4G laying around that already has a void warranty and I don't think it can be activated anymore either (used the insurance to get a new one after the screen cracked and they said to not bother sending it in because of all the problems we were having with them).
Anyway Iv'e been wanting to learn to root for quite awhile now (since I got the original moto droid a week after it came out) and this seems like the perfect opportunity to learn. If I brick it it doesn't really matter since it doesn't get used anyway but my question is can I root it without it having a sim card?
Thanks guys.

yes you can

Yes you can, believe you just need the sim card to access t-mos network. You can still use wifi with the phone to play around with...

Thanks guys, gonna start it today sometime so hopefully tonight I will have my first rooted device

So I used VISIONary and it seems I'm permrooted after temprooting? I have done a battery pull and left it out for about 30 secs, "restarted" and shut down and turned it back on twice and I still have superuser. Not complaining just thought I had to hit "Attempt Permroot now" in order to perm root it.
Any ideas? did I just not leave the batt out for long enough?

VISIONary.apk will NOT perm root your device if the device has not been S-off. the superuser app will always be there, but that doesn't mean you have perm root. go to terminal emulator, type "su" (no quotes) and it will give you "permission denied". you must have an S-off device to perm root. there are plenty of guides out there that will tell you how to root, easiest method is using visionary/root.sh found here:

[Q] Clockwork Won't Boot Into Recovery (RED EXCLAMATION MARK)

Hey trying to help my brother with his phone and I've never encountered this problem before.
He downloaded Rom Manager from the Market and proceeded to flash CWM.
After flashing I told him to use the "Reboot into recovery" in order to create a NANDroid back up.
His phone reboots and then gets stuck on an image of what he says is a "phone with a red exclamation mark."
I've checked with him and he says "fast boot" is off. His phone IS rooted.
Obviously this is the first time he's ever needed to use CWM.
I've never personally encountered this problem and I've rooted 10 (6 replacements for me and one for my wife, 2 for my brothers and one for their girlfriend lol.) MT4Gs and have installed custom ROMs.
If you guys have any suggestions or ideas PLEASE let me know.
Thanks a lot.
The forum search yielded some threads about turning off "fast boot" or maybe a bad flash.
I've had him reflash CWM. Still no luck.
Again, thanks for any help.

I'm assuming he's rooted right? With S-OFF? In any case, it seems that it's not sticking. One common mistake is that he might have accidentally denied the SU permissions while opening RM. So un install and re install RM and make sure you accept SU permissions.

Yeah Macky...he is rooted. I'll have him try it again. He did mention something about su.binary something or another.
I told him to update Superuser. We'll see if that helps.

Yeah try updating the latest SU and make sure he didn't deny RM. That's might be what happened. If not, try updating his CWM manually via terminal emulator, ADB or Fastboot.
Here's how to do that.

For clockwork recovery to actually work, you have to download rom manager and from within rom manager install clockwork first.
You just do not download rom manager and right away boot into recovery.

Whoa! Why don't we chill out a bit yea. I just mentioned it because some people think that just downloading rom manager and trying to boot into recovery that's how you flash the thing and get it working.
And I did read the whole thing and did read where you said rom manager got downloaded and prceeded to flash cwr. But you also stated you told your bro to press reboot into recovery. Which made me think he probably mistakenly, try booting into recovery before actually flashing it. I was just trying to cover steps to help you guys out.
