I just bought an Evo today, trying to NANDROID right now- I get to the bootloader, click on recovery then it shows the phone with the green arrows then changes to a red triangle and that's as far as it goes. Any help? I want to get this thing rooted tonight.
Well you have to be rooted to do a nandroid

So root your phone and achieve s-off and you'll be able to nandroid with a custom recovery

D'oh, guess I misread the tutorials. I rooted my Evo Shift as well and I couldn't remember if I did the backup before or after root.
If your evo came with gingerbread, revolutionary is the root method you're after, I believe.
Have fun.

Yeah I'm working on revolutionary. But for some reason my settings menu does not have a power option menu so I can't enable/disable fast boot.

You need to follow the tutorials a bit more closely.
Run revolutionary to get s-off.
Flash custom recovery.
From custom recovery flash superuser. There's a link to it on the revolutionary site.
Alternatively you can just do a nandroid backup and go ahead and flash whatever rom you want.
Don't install Rom Manager, do everything manually to minimize error and know what you're doing should you ever get yourself in trouble.
Done!
Also, Amon Ra is a better choice of recovery for the Evo. If you're used to ClockworkMod and want to use that then that's fine too. You may need Amon Ra to flash certain zips though.

Ok bought an evo on eBay, after getting rid of my evo for a blackberry and realizing I made a huge mistake. It's used but like new.
I go to the boot screen and it says s-off. Then I select recovery but it goes to an evo with a red triangle.
What can I do?
Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If you can acess the bootloader, I would recommend searching in the rooting wiki and look for a PCIMG file place that in the root of the sd card(hopefully your comp has a media reader) and insert the sd card with that file and the bootloader should detect when you select recovery.
What that file does is resets everything on the phone to stock. if you could find a RUU that might work but if your comp cant see the phone its useless i hope this helps
oh hey just stole this from a post from mattykins(thanks for the link) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060

If you're s off, your rooted. The triangle means you have no recovery. All you need to do is flash a PC36IMG of recovery, using the bootloader. Once you do that, you'll have recovery, and can flash a rom of your choice. That's it. No need to re root or ruu or anything like that. Just recovery, that's it.

This would probably be the easiest thing. DL clockwork from the market and install the recovery I prefer amon_ra it will be at the bottom under alternate recoveries. Also do a nand backup as soon as you have a recovery.
I agree with above, just get rom manager from the market and flash a recovery...simple
We're comin from a pure power source.

SUre, give me one sec to upload a file for you. And as the other guys suggested, flashing a recovery using ROM manager would be your easiest bet. HOWEVER, if you dont have the SUPER USER app, (which i bet you do not), rom manager wont work. t herefore you cant flash anything with it.
So give me one sec, and i'll upload what you need to flash, with instructions for ya
EDIT: I attatched a recovery for you. It's Amon Ra V2.3. Download the PC36IMG, and leave it named exactly as it is. Place the file on the main directory (root) of your sd card. Power your phone off completely. Then boot to the bootloader by holding the power and volume down buttons simultaneously. When it gets to the bootloader, after a sec it will scan for files, and find the PC36IMG. It will then ask you if you want to update, so select yes (volume UP). Once it's done flashing, it'll ask you to reboot. Select no. Then choose the 'recovery' option from the bootloader menu. You should now successfully boot into Amon Ra V2.3 recovery. From that point, you can create a backup of your current setup. Then you can perform a full wipe, and then flash the rom of your choice.
And what ever you do DON'T restore a nandroid from your old phone. You will wipe out your 4g if the wimax partition is included in the nandroid.

Ok that worked. I now have Amon ra recovery
But, lol, one more question. Amon ra has changed since I've had an evo.. now when I select backup, it has a list of things I want to back up with "[x]" next to them. Which items should I select? It didn't have that feature in the past so I'm a little lost.

Right, that feature was added after version 1.8.0 (which I still use). I believe you want to check all of the boxes, for your first backup. (I'm not sure if you need to have everything checked after that, but I'm sure it couldn't hurt). I've seen people say that you only need to back up your wimax one time, then keep the file in a safe place (it's your RSA keys), however I just can't see what the problem is with backing it up each time. I kind of like the simplicity of 1.8.0, just hit backup and let it do it's thing. Whatever the heck 1.8.0 automatically backs up on its own, works perfectly fine for me, lol.
So I would just check everything off, and then let it perform the backup.
EDIT: and sorry I don't have more info on that for ya. I'm sure someone else who regulrarly uses ar 2.3 will chime in, and give you a more solid answer. I just simply don't use that recovery, as I never saw a need to 'upgrade' from 1.8.0, because it has always worked flawlessly for me. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'd say you could use 1.8.0 if you wanted to, but I believe it won't work on the 004 hardware phones with the 0040000 size erase block.
Ok cool.
Thanks again
And yes i remember the simple way, things are supposed to get easier as time goes on, not more complicated, haha!

Do you have SDK and working fastboot? That is step one.
Yep
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
*note* i did not develop this method entirely i scrapped it together from multiple posts found here on xda. I give credit to those who did the work first. it worked fine for me hopefully it works for you too.
download sdk tools and install
download fastboot drivers and install
both found here
after that, download clockwork recovery
also download superuser files you want eclair/froyo su it works for gingerbread too.
open command prompt and enter the following
Code:
fastboot devices
if it doesn't return your phone in the following line double check that your fastboot drivers are properly installed.
if it does enter the following
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
follow the onscreen prompt on your phone. volume up to "yes" and hit power to confirm
Your phone is now unlocked. next step installing a recovery.
navigate to the folder where the clockwork recovery image is located.
Code:
cd C:\users\#username#\downloads
or wherever the file is on your pc.
then enter the following
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img
you now have a proper recovery installed on your phone you may now vol dn to recovery and hit power to confirm
VERY IMPORTANT
in recovery vol dn to "backup and restore" power to confirm
select Backup and hit power again.
you just created a nandroid backup of your phone if you ever mess it up you can restore it back to when it was stock and problem free
In recovery vol dn to "mounts and storage" power to confirm
then choose "Mount USB storage"
copy the SU zip to the root of your phone's storage
then "Unmount"
then "+++++Go Back+++++"
then "install zip from sdcard"
then "choose zip from sdcard"
Choose su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip
then select "Yes - Install su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip"
Reboot your phone and you should now have a stock rooted phone.
Ty Joe I will do this as soon as I get home

Just remember to make a nandroid backup in clockwork after you're done rooting, so you always have a working setup to fall back on if something should go wrong in the future

i just came from the evo and rooted that phone way before any one click roots where out. Trust me the nexus s is 100 times easier to root than any other phone it's actually pretty quick and easy, i just went into great detail so anyone could be able to follow it hopefully. I think i have seen some 1 click roots for the ns but i never looked into them once i saw how relatively pain free it is to do this way.
i remember having to copy and paste adb commands and spamming them while my phone rebooted. and hopefully... hopefully it would unlock the evo.
just out of curiousity as i wont know until tomorrow, but does gingerbreak work? if so just using the sdk and using adb to push it seems like it would be faster..

Yes there has been success using that. You could i suppose gain root with gingerbreak and then use that to flash clockwork recovery. You would be rooted and able to flash Roms through clockwork. Bootloader would remain locked.
Thanks all. I'll try this later tonight and report back. I've seen a few root methods around here but wanted to make sure it was no different for the ns4g before I actually got into it.
So to confirm one more time Joe's method he posted here should work for the ns4g as well, right?

Make sure you've renamed the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh script (if you haven't already) as well so clockwork isn't overwritten by the stock recovery.

Good to go I think - thanks netarchy!
So for you all that are trying to follow joe's steps, they are correct except the download linked in his post will give you the 3.0.0.4 version of Clockwork and you need the one referenced by netarchy (3.0.2.4). All worked as planned after that.
Rooted and ready to flash netarchy's kernel on ns4g!
When I saw the port for ICS come out I got really excited and flashed it right away. Then I realized for whatever reason I didnt have SU permissions so I couldn't tether to my computer. I was disappointed but I thought, "no biggie, I'll just restore from my back up." When I flashed my back up the SU app was in my app drawer but I still couldn't tether. As a matter of fact I can't do anything that requires SU but the bootloader still reads unlocked. WTF?
I can't flash a new recovery either. I tried installing from ROM manager, I tried pushing it from my computer but I can't get to the recovery any more. ROM manager says that I have CWM 5.0.2.0 currently installed but I can't get to it at all. Again, WTF?

No suggestions have worked so far. It does not matter what the recovery image name is, whenever I try the flash it Terminal says that it cannot load "***.img" or if I try an install command it says that it cannot find "***.zip" I'm on a snow leopard iMac so I don't need drivers n such.
Let me pose the question like this, what would I do to completely restore the phone to factory condition and try to root it again? Like I said before, the bootloader says that it is unlocked but I do not have any root privileges, could not access the recovery I had before nor install a new recovery after having locked the unlocked the phone's bootloader again.

using custom recovery will provide more useful functions

Not for those of us unlucky ones (maybe I'm the only one) that the custom recovery will NOT work for. No matter what I try, it wont mount data/recovery, so no backup can be made or flashing a custom rom. Plus I have a new problem. Had to rsd the sbf back and now I can't even gain root on the phone.
What os are u on now? Also what methods have you tried?

I've got the froyo on it. When trying to root, I've used the method that worked for me originally, superoneclick. It just keeps not responding on my windows 7 machine but didn't use to. As for the recovery, I did exactly as laidaxins post but it would give me that above error on the phone. I have tried getting help from laidaxin and winsuk to no avail. I even tried getting ahold of romracer to build a proper recovery since I can donate my flipside for the cause, but haven't gotten a response from him at all.
Use z4root go to 4shared.com and search for it there. Then download and install it. Make sure usb debugging is on and unknown sources is checked. Then run z4root and let it sit. Let me know if that works for you.

Gotta be a member to download.
Edit: found the apk here on xda. Doesn't work. At step acquiring root shell, it just closes out. Upon reboot, no superuser. Wasn't meant to be I guess. It was rooted at one time, but guess it just got tired of being told who the boss is.
Just join its free lol

super one click is the easiest way to root ( i used the newest version and 100 % success)
and u must root before install any custom recovery

That didn't work either like it did in the past on my win 7 machine. The program stops responding on killing daemon server.
Superoneclick doesn't always work. That's why I recommend using other options. Also there is a one click root for the Droid x Droid 2 etc on droidforums I have used it on many different Motorola's with a lot of success.
