unrevoked problem

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

I tried to ROOT 1.72.405.3, now my phone is slow :'( SAVE MEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!

I've got 1.72.405.3 Android 2.2.1 on my HTC Desire HD. I made a mistake by deciding to ROOT it :'( Went thru the following steps:
1) I dloaded SuperOneClick 1.55, turned on USB Debugging, turned off access to SD card then clicked on ROOT. It kept getting stuck at "Waiting for Phone to Respond...." So I dc'ed the USB cable & then my phone hanged entirely & I got really scared So then I removed the battery & turned it on again. But it was running rather slowly & was lagging quite a bit.
2) So then I read that SuperOneClick kept giving the "Waiting for phone to respond" msg cuz it needed its proper adb usb drivers. So then I went thru the whole process of trying to dload the Android ADB USB Driver. I dloaded Android SDK, then opened its console & tried to dload the driver from the options given. I searched & I searched but I don't knw wot the hell I was doing wrong bcoz I cudn't find the Android ADB driver ! I tried PDANet & all the other available choices from different websites such as this one (XDA Developers) & theunlocker.com. I even accessed the Android SDK folder thru cmd prompt but it wasn't showing any SERIAL.
3) so then I realized rooting was near to impossible at the moment. But my phone was lagging bigtime bcoz of the crap I had just made it go thru ! I tried fiddling with USB Debugging & everything but NO SUCCESS. It's not speedy & fluid like before. So I accessed FACTORY SETTINGS & reset my phone. It seemed to b fine after the reset but was still not as fluid as before (before I tried to ROOT it). But stubborn that I am, I then dloaded VISIONARY+ & made one last attempt at ROOTING my phone. I clicked on TEMP ROOT & save an image. But it got stuck at the screen where it says "ROOTING."
4) After finally accepting defeat, I wanted to remove ALL traces of any kind of rooting so I ran FACTORY RESET once more. This time after being reset, my phone seemed more fluid but still NOT like it originally was before the all ROOTING. I installed Go Launcher which itself is quite speedy but the phone still doesn't feel fluid & speedy like it originally was.... :'(
PLZ HELP ME !!!!!!!! WHAT DO I DO ?!?!?!

Download 1.72 RUU from DHD android development forum, posted by football, then just run that

Meaning I shud dload it, put it on the root of my SD card & then just run it thru ASTRO ? That's it ? Anything I shud b looking out for ??? Is it possible for me to downgrade the firmware & then root it & then install this 1.75.405.3 firmware over it whilst keeping my root ???

Downgrade is not possible. The RUU.exe is PC executable file, just run it and it will guide you through the process.

since when did SuperOneClick work for the DHD?

It does not.

didnt we already warned u 2 days ago, in your other thread, that since ur phone is already on 1.72, u cant root it?
Why did u still attempt to root it?

I don´t see how this is helping

:'( I cudn't help it... I messed up, I accept that :'( I also want root

Can't you boot into boot loader and wipe from there n u r back to stock again?

I've had the same since I tried it without knowing.
What you do is the following;
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Take the battery out, leave it alone for 10min.
3. Put the battery back in, and start it up again and wait 30min.
if I'm right, you wont have any lag troubles no more.

Actually, I dloaded 1.72.405.3 RUU by football as directed by jkoljo Then I flashed my DHD & voila everything was superb. But I still want roooooooooooot :'( Ahhhhhh one day..........

[Q] Is this a bricked phone?

Hey guys, sorry if Im repeating a thread, I looked the first 3 pages and found nothing.
Well, the thing is like this:
I downloaded z4root, xrecovery 0.3 busy box and proceed to root my phone. It all went well, root was succesful, but when I tried to install a custom ROM, that's where I think I screwed up. From xRecovery I went to "install custom zip rom" and tried to install Eminence v1.8. "Installed it" and nothing happened, it all looked the same... the thing is that later I read that this was only an extention of the X10 Res Mod, so I downloaded it and tried to install it, but when I booted the phone it got stuck in the Sony Ericsson text logo and it does nothing more... I need help :/
I can access the xRecovery menu, so I tried to do a Factory reset, but it didnt fix the problem... I dont know if with that I f%cked up things a little more.
PC Companion recognizes the phone being plugged but since I cannot mount it I cannot acces to it.
Is there anything that can be done here? Help much appreciated.

Try SEUS.... Follow instructions and you are back to a straight out of the box clean x10 again....
sent from my 2.2 X10

Thanks, I'll try that and let you know.

Thanks a lot PollPixx, it worked great. Now I'll go back and try it again, this time I'll try to read all the steps before actually start doing it ..
cheers

[Q] Problem in rooting.

i have official gingerbread 2.3.5.
i want to root my phone but no method works.
when i follow steps indicated to use superoneclick, the program goes on till step 7 and then stops responding.
i have tried one click root but makes issue of driver. i have installed drivers from many places, even from where the one click program states. still no success.
when i try to use the boot.img method, i cant do it because when after the pressing the keys to enter the pink screen, when i connect it to the pc, no drive shows up into the computer so i cant copy the boot.img file.
i dont know what is the problem. No rooting method is working.
by the way i have installed wondershare mobilego software for android on pc.(Do you think this could make a problem). And on my phone i am using go launcher(Do you think this is making problem). By the way my phone randomly restarts and shutsdown (the reason why i am switching to cyanogen mod). Do you think i should first again do a clean install of gingerbread then do all this rooting and flashing of cyanogen. Please respond quickly.
(If there is a problem of drivers, kinldy post the link that HAS the drivers in it that will allow me to root)
A big thanks in advance!

Did you try with Z4root? I think it works well on Gingerbread. You can try to "downgrade" to your stock rom and then update to GB.

I had this problem with SuperOneClick. Happens because all steps are not done properly. Make sure you do all steps and before using SuperOneclick make sure you reboot your phone.
If that doesn't work then PM me and I will send you proper steps.
Good Luck.:good:

P9 Lite - can't access developer options and phone soft reboots when uninstalling app

Here's the story:
After I've broken my screen and voided my warranty. I've decided to root my phone. Some time after, I got a notification that a new system upgrade was released, which was supposed to update my phone to Nougat and EMUI 5.0. After I installed the update I've noticed that my root was gone. Eventually I've decided to root my phone back, but something went wrong.
Now I can't access developer settings, every time I click on it Settings crashes. And every time I go and try to uninstall an application the phone soft reboots.
I've tried to clear dalvik cache trough TWRP, didn't work.
I've done a factory data reset didn't fix anything.
I can't uninstall apps trough ADB since I need to enable USB debugging and I can't get to dev options.
I can't authorize the PC either because the authorization popup doesn't appear and I think it's because the dev options don't work. As such I can't use the toolkit to do anything.
I tried to follow the steps from the Unbricking tab from the toolkit: I flashed the boot, system, recovery, cust images and stopped at the point in the instructions where I had to use TWRP. I stopped because I can't flash TWRP anymore. I flashed it at least 10 times but it didn't work, every time I boot into recovery I get the stock huawei recovery.
Is there any way I can fix this, or is my phone "half bricked" for good?

Use dload to get back to mm and from mm use firmware finder and proxy instal b370 . PV . Don't instal anything else cuz everything else will make ur phone act like that again .

Sorry for taking so long, I've been pretty busy, but I finally got a chance to try what you said.
It worked, and it was very simple to do.
Thank you very much, I can use my phone as intended now.
I have one more question tough, if u don't mind. Since you said not to install anything else since the phone will act up again, does that mean there is no way to root my phone? And if there is, can you point me to a tutorial?
Again, thanks a lot.
