Just wanted to let people know how I rooted my EVO in case it can help others. Unrevoked 3.22 would not root my phone after I did an Ota update, and I was not confident enough in myself to not brick my phone using other methods. I have almost no computer skills, and this sequence worked for me. My specs looked the following.
Android Version 2.2
Baseband Version 2.15.00
Kernal Version 2.6.32.15-ge2f608
Build number 3.29.651.5
Software number 3.29.651.5
PRI version 1.77_003
Hardware version 0002
HBoot 0.97
Radio 2.15.00
I first put the app ROM Manager on my phone from the Market. I then put the app z4root on on my phone. z4root can provide a temporary root on the EVO. The I used ROM Manager to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I then used ROM Manager to Backup Current ROM. Next I put unrevoked forever on my SD card and flashed unrevoked forever. Unrevoked forever turned the S-off. I then rebooted and ran z4root to permanently root. My phone is now rooted and I have not had any problems.
cool
will try on my friends new evo
I followed all these steps and although the temp root works, confirmed by running Cachecleaner, when I try to boot into recovery to flash Unrevoked Forever I just get the phone with the red exclamation point instead of the actual recovery menu. I really wanted this to work because I do have the software fully up to date.

Its a Clockworkmod recovery bug, and, will be present in a rooted phone with a Stock ROM also. There is no workaround as users who have installed the new version state this bug persists.

last time when i had installed the offical RUU it got rid of everything and all was working fine but this time i dnt no if i installed a newer custom rom or what but i cant seem to flash it back to the original
Have you wiped the system and the cache?
By my understanding you can't just flash the new gingerbread update 2.3.4 if your rooted and have s-off right?
(unless it's the rooted one which I currently have http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175536)
you need to be unrooted with s-on?.. So I'm thinking about unrooting my phone using the automated way
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924923&page=13)
so now my question is it safe to do this with the rom I have? Because I have read forms that once you update to the new ginger bread you cant downgrade? Or that it's just a little more difficult to do right? ( I don't know if has to do anything with the rooted one I have btw) so if I unroot using that method well it root since I'm technically going to downgrade right? Since the unroot instructions says you have to flash the PD15IMG.zip (which I think it would be an older version.) So that being said can I just unroot using that method but instead of using the PD15IMG.zip they give you can I used the new gingerbreed PD15IMG.zip file SO WHEN THE PHONE BOOT UP I WOULD HAVE THE NEW GINGERBREAD UPDATE 2.3.4 well that work?!?!?!
reason for unrooting have bad chip..
this update i think is no different than the full RUU we had before, if you flash this or that RUU, you will goto stock unrooted factory mode, with just one think that may or maynot happen,....
1: for me i still have S-off, so i still do whatever i like.
2: for many they turned to S-on and now stuck with this ROM as this version 2.3.4 is not rootable at the moment.

now im back with that fixed eclair that came with the guide
any one can help me and tell me why i keep getting black screen when ever i flash
any one can help me please ?
thanks in advance
I think that is because you flashed a level 5 sbf so you can flash a full sbf with level greater or equal than 5
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
Easy thing first, wipe. Check motto drivers and check if you are installing correct sbf. when it says pass, don't unplug phone. Wait for it to restart itself then wipe again
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
You flashed full 2.3.4 sbf which contains CG31.smg and CG39.smg ver=5
from now on you are stuck with limited options of downgrade. There is no possible way to flash a sbf which contains CG ver less than 5 now. "downgrade" to you now means you will have to restore nandroid and then flash fixed sbf which has had CG31 and CG39 replaced with those two Code Groups from one which is of ver=5. I'm not sure, but "maybe" you can flash any sbf you like and then flash fixed sbf from that sbf with these two code groups replaced with one containg CG=5
There's a Eclair (2.1) Chinese SBF with CG level 5. Use that, root, install 2ndinit, flash a fixed SBF.
Don't use the camera flash though!
Good idea!
But the fact remains that he is always stuck with CG31 and CG39 at level 5. Regardless of how he downgrades this will never change. As far as warranty purposes it will never be possible unless his region officially releases a system containing these two CG's at level 5. It is nice though to be able to "downgrade" and still install custom roms and stock froyo roms and the like but ALL of these will still need a fixed sbf containing level 5 CG31
Follow the steps from this tutorial and you will succeed.
Hi, I'm looking for a sbf file for my Defy (not +, red lens) with a CG version 5 or higher.
It's because I bricked my Defy so I flashed this sbf : JORDN_U3_97.21.51
It's US T-Mobile version so I can't phone in France with Orange. Someone told me it's a CG version 5.
If you have a solution to phone with this version in France, I'm taking it too
Thank you
So your phone is working but you have no signal or what?
ehhm, what do you want to do ???
is your phone booting and ready to go on the home screen? then you don't have to flash any sbf ...
if you can not call due to wrong baseband, there is a tool calles "Defy Baseband Switcher", that changes the Baseband to e.g. france orang version ...
hoped to help you ... and if so, please click "thanks"-button
The ~ same thing
I accidentaly installed the CM9 kernel when i should have installed the CM7 one with ICS. Then i made a nandroid restore of my previous CM7. Than... phone dead. Starting but no CWM no ROM booting.
As i have had CM7 with GB kernel i flashed ( not knowing) an old SBF than didn't booted. I tried the US T-Mobile 2.5.1. It boots, i can root it, install CWM.
But than when i try to install a CM7 nightly ( installed ok) it dies again. Starts but No CWM no Rom booting.
What to do? I don't know what SBF to flash or what method to install?

I tried Defy Baseband Switcher but it doesn't work. Thank you anyway.
SBF
You can download all the SBF's from the Wiki Page( Defy General Thread). But you are in my case. I have a thread opened in the Q&A. That SBF you installed is dreadful. So after 2 nights of searching until 4 am i got smth to work. For the record i didn't install a GB SBF. I wanted a Froyo one. The one that worked for me is this one > http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1&highlight=cg
Follow the first guide. Go to Recovery Wipe data/cache, reboot with volume up pressed. Enter programming. Flash SBF. It starts in Chinese. Don't worry. On the first screen you see press the button/box (with Chinese writing) in the middle of the screen> select English> then Next> then press Later (as you don't need the MotoBlur crap). Than Root it with Superoneclick, install CWM and flash whatever ROM you like.
Warning: Do not turn the flash on the camera. With the Kernel on this SBF you will burn it. Install another Froyo Kernel with your ROM. Don't know how> ask.
Thank you but your link is dead...
Link update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486731&highlight=cg
The one you installed is BL5. You can try the froyo above. Or someone PM'ed a couple o minutes ago with this option for the Eclair SBF:Root, install the cwm. Then wipe data, install kernel don't reboot and install cm7. I tried it and it did not work but maybe it works for you. Also if you don't know how to root the Eclair sbf you must do the following> Flash 2.21 , Run the archive(USB debugging On), let it finish/close by itself, flash the 2.51. Sorry, i can't attach files.. will try later
