easy way to root stock 2.2 ota for evo - EVO 4G Android Development

I was able to root by simply step 1 download.ing the PC36IG.zip to the phone. Sept two I used androzip (get it from market) to movie the PC36IG.Zip to your SD card. You do this by going into android.zip go to downloads and long press on the pc36ig.zip scroll down and select move. Use your back arrow to get out of downloads and click move here. Step 3 turn off the phone then turn it back on and hold down vol down. Phone should try to install it but it will fail but turn it off and turn back on holding down vol down. This time it should go through. Once phone booted back up I was on 2.1update. Step 4 I used unrevocked3 to root and then I installed a custom fresh 2.2 Rom. I did this on my Evo running stock ota 2.2. This worked and was lot more simple to do. P.s make sure u install the drivers for unrevocked when rooting

Has anyone else verified this yet?

Yeah Im curious too, this sounds to easy to be true.
But Judging from his post count I think it is BS!

Also possible he had a replacement from sprint that was previously rooted and then updated to the stock 2.2 before it was returned but still had the hacked bootloader and such on it.

Verfied that this **** dont work... tried it several times ... keep getting the error "Main Version is older" ... this guys evo is probably rooted already or hes just trying to get some guinea pigs to test out his theory...

I thought it was confirmed no update had the new PRI...
Is this hex edited to look like it or is it legit ... how to tell?
Dude, I'm, on this... I was up with the guys last night on the unrevoked thread debating this. Going to do so, right now. You said the one ending in .6, of course, but the ruu, or custom made..
Links to what's what and where you got them would help.
Thanks.

The question that needs to be asked is;
What PRI did you start the above process with?
if you already started with 1.40, then you did nothing new.
if you started with 1.34, well then you may have done something worth while.

[Q] Help noobe flashing problem

I have been reading threads here and I can't find an answer to my question.
I have an ATT Captivate running ATT 2.2. I ran the super one click app and have superuser available for the apps. I have rom manager free edition but no matter what I try I cannot get it to flash the Clockworkmod Recovery. When I try to flash it I get the message that it's been succesfully downloaded but never get the succesful flash.
I've spent a big part of the day at this and can't figure out why this isn't working. ANY ideas would be appreciated.
TIA, Jeff

It won't actually be flashed to your device. It creates an update.zip file on your internal sd card. What you have to do to get into clockwork is turn your phone off, hold down vol up+vol down+power until you see the AT&T logo show up on the screen. When you see the logo show up, release power but keep holding the volume keys. This will take you into the regular stock recovery. Once you are there, select the 'reinstall packages' option. The phone should reboot, at which point, hold down the volume keys again to get back into the stock recovery. Once it boots into stock recovery for the second time, select 'reinstall packages' again and it should put you into clockworkmod this time around.
At one time in all my trying I've been thru this as well. When I select reinstall packages I get:
E: Failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted
I really want to get away from this ATT 2.2. I waited for the ATT upgrade but since it still won't support bluetooth voice dial I'm going to go this route if I can get it to work.

It is a way to do it but Odin can easely brick a phone if not used right.
It's alot easier to just prompt the command (.bat) from our computer with our phone plugged in debugging mode and let it do its magic. Takes a few seconds and it's done

[Q] got my broken captivate replaced lost 3 button combo

The power lock button broke on my cappy. So i took it back to AT&T and got a new one. At first the 3 button combo worked, I went to flash to complete stock 2.1 because i was about to go to GB. Well then i lost the three button combo and cant get it back. Should i try to take the phone back saying it wont go into recovery and try to get a new one. Idk if having to get into recovery is a must to them or if they'll say you dont need it. What should i do I got it back to stock 2.2 using kies from 2.1.
I really dont want to put up with a non 3 combo phone. What should I do? Get a JIG or go back to AT&T?

Rooting and changing roms voids your warranty, so if you tell them what your up to not only will they not help you, but they may void your warranty. Try a jig, or if you really want to take it back, return the phone to stock and tell them the gps still sux. Good luck
This is my signature, this is my gun. One is for posting, one is for fun.
Im all the way back to stock, Im still showing the correct product code and everything so that shouldnt be a problem. Im just thinking how i can get them to give me a different one. I guess i can say i use recovery to wipe my phone clean every once in a while to speed the phone up. Oh and you need recovery if you get ota updates right
Not a big deal in the least.
If you were going to gingerbread anyway all you need is that first boot into download because once you flash gingerbread bootloaders you will have a working combo.
Its software not hardware, button combo is contained in the secondary bootloader, no reason to replace a phone because of slightly faulty software.
Ok so i guess ill work on getting the three button to work tomorrow then go to gb, cause the three button fix by design gears wasnt taking, thats why i got a little scared, and i guess i better order a JIG. Ive been without one for 10 months but now im a little nervous lol
and i guess once i get a JIG it will completely eliminate the use of the three button combo anyway. Cause im one of those people that goes back to stock on every flash and it would be a pain to have to do the three button fix. So i guess ill order a JIG from mobiletechvideos.com
Though it wouldnt help recovery as much but rom manager will take care of that.
Didn't they have a three button combo fix a while back? I haven't been on here in a while since my captivate is broken but i seem to remember something like that...
Yea i have the zip file to fix it but now my phone wont go into clockwork at all to even install it. It keeps saying signature failed
Did you apply the 3e fix?

There's a .zip for that, too. Somewhere in the threads you can find the zip that will get you to recovery. Look for 3e recovery without signatures.
The 3e sticky is at the top of the page...i thought you flashed 2.1, you shouldn't have 3e that is a stock froyo recovery, what did you do?
i had 3 button when i got the phone and then i went back to 2.1 cause i was gonna flash gb. so once i went to 2.1 i was mad that i lost it and updated it to 2.2 through kies thinking i would just take it back to att and thats when all this start happening.
So i got clockwork to work and the three button combo is now working also, so ill just flash gb straight from 2.2. That is fine right its still a stock rom with root but thats it. or should i now go back to 2.1 then get three button and then flash.
I hate that i have to add all these steps compared to before which was so easy and fast.
You can flash gb over whatever. I went from firefly to stock gb.
Thanks alot i should be good to go now, Im never going to go to stock 2.2 unless im taking it back again.
I guess I'm gonna definitely order my JIG today too.

I was part of the beta test team. It worked fine then.
I ran it this weekend. It did the s-off after 3 tries (had to reboot computer one time between tries) then it offered to install the 4.0.1.4 clockworks mod recovery. Other than having to try several times, it worked great.
So is it confirmed if this will work for the Aria. Are there instructions on how to do this? I used Unrevoked when I first rooted. I haven't s-offed my phone because I don't understand SDK tools and using command prompt so I'm glad a "one click" finally came about.
How is this different from AlphaRevX? As I recall the second beta version had the option to install CWR as well. Does this version also install Superuser.apk?

You don't have to understand how to use the SDK tools or much of command prompt. Like when AlpharevX came, it basically did the work for you. All you had to do was download it and enter the beta key for your device and it does the rest.
I was finally able to S-0ff my phone! Took a while to get 3-4 hours but I just had to read A LOT and have patience. So I will say to anyone trying this don't panic just follow the instructions and read as much as you can. Chances are whatever problems you face have already been addressed somewhere.
My first issue came pretty early on when I kept getting invalid beta key's from the key generator. Turns out an "L" was really an "I". Once I got that I had to uninstall HTC sync and download the fastboot drivers. Once I did that Revolutionary took care of the rest. Once I was rooted I just restored my CM7 that I had backed up. Thank you all for the great writeups provided by XDA.
At Last !!!
After 2 days of buggering about I finally decided to start all over again. So I downgraded my Desire to its original and unrooted state, then I did the official OTA upgrade to give me Hboot 0.93.0001 ... and finally I ran Revolutionary on it from a Linux NetBook ...
I now have a properly S-Off-ed Hboot ... and I can start from scratch on formatting my new SD-Card, and looking at a few new de-branded roms ...
And the whole job only took about 45 minutes from beginning of the downgrade to the S-OFFed end.
THANKS GUYS ... Clean as a whistle
I used this method to root and get s off and now my power key is acting funky. I got a replacement aria and used this method then flashed cm7, now whenever I push the power button I get the power off menu instead of just turning screen off? Anybody have any ideas? I tried going back to stock Tom and same issue.

I think it is more then that, because even to turn on the phone it takes a few presses of the button. I think I'm going to return it completely to stock with s on and no root and start all over to see if it happens then.

Okay a little background bought my aria used in January so since I had no warranty anyways I was rooted and running a custom rom within hours of getting the phone but this whole S-off thing had me a little worried because of the upgrade to a non rootable hboot if something would have went wrong I would be stuck. So been watching and reading since Alfarev showed up on the scene. I worked up the nerve tonight to go for it. I am happy to say I was S-off rooted and had my nand back up restored in half an hour. Just a couple things I wanted to mention the link in the original Alpharev thread now takes you to the same place this link in this thread does the Unrevoked+Alpharev and it was pretty easy after entering my key code the app s-offed my phone and then asked to install recovery I said yes and it grabbed the file on its own from the site and installed revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4
So for those that are a little worried about trying this I have to say it was much easier than I thought it would be. Well that my story and thank you to team Revolutionary!!!!!

Also special thanks to Gene Poole for the 2.2 flash update zip he made.

Rooted giingerbread leak available on TBH app

Just wanted to tell everyone that TBH released the rooted gingerbread leak on their app a while ago, here's the steps to install it:
1. Sbf to be completely stock, you must have all the stock apps and be on the 2.4.330, so if you sbf to the .29 firmware, update it to the .330 firmware
2. Root your phone and install bootstrap, don't boot into recovery yet!
3. Install the TBH app (if you don't have it, donate to team black hat to get it) and download the 2 files for gingerbread, there's a part 1 and part 2, don't rename them.
4. Boot into clockwork recovery using bootstrap
5. In bootstrap, flash part one of the update, then immediately after without restarting, flash part 2.
6. Restart, you should get the red M logo and boot into gingerbread, if you bootloop boot into recovery by holding the x button on your keyboard when you turn it on and then hold the vol up+down buttons to unlock the menu, once in the menu do a factory reset.
Rooted GB is pretty fast and stable, haven't encountered any bugs yet, battery life is pretty solid (a bit better than froyo), I'm in the process of freezing apps, its difficult now that they added a lot more bloatware that, I have to figure out which of the new apk's to freeze without breaking anything, just a heads up.
Hope you all enjoy your leaked gingerbread!
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL running Leaked Rooted Gingerbread!
I installed the non rooted version of this and it's been working perfectly since last night. No issues at all so far and the battery life seems better but it's still too soon to tell.
All in all, I'd say this is a great release and appears to be better than Froyo even with a ROM. I'm just currently waiting for a way to root it that doesn't involve me having to flash it again and starting from scratch.
You may wait a long time. ..
Any method that can root this without using TBH's files will require a new exploit for GB.
Dumb question, since I'm currently running a DINC2. What's the bootstrap? I've still got my old D2G, and want to put it to use now that this is leaked, but need to learn some of the terminology over here.
Thanks!

not gonna happen, currently the only way to get a rooted version on the other moto droids (except the OG droid) are to install a rooted version, theres no way to root from within gingerbread.
Hmm... I didn't know that last part there... I guess I should install the TBH version now then before I do any more customization on it. That way It doesn't hurt so much to SBF again.

so basically no need for the TBH root app?
I've seen that posted on some other sites as well since this morning. Apparently it's the same files from the TBH app. I believe you only needed the app initially to download them and nothing else so now you can flash them on your own.
the rooted version on the tbh app was released first, if you know tbh you know that when they have a leak, they like to release it on the app first, then maybe a day or so later release it to the public, when i made this post it was only available on the app.
I've been asking on My Droid World, but I haven't gotten any replies yet. I need the /system/etc/security/cacerts.bks from the new release, because I altered my cacerts.bks to add CAcert's root and now the checksum doesn't match, and therefore this won't install. Can someone send me their cacerts.bks?
There you go.
But this is from stock 2.4.330 version which I presume is what you actually need for the verification to complete.

Which files are missing? You don't need to extract the ZIP files on your PC, just flash them.
use the 2nd mirror i had no trouble with it
Way to go Team Black Hat... GB is such an upgrade over Android 2.2!
For anyone else having trouble booting CWM: I finally realized I needed to ditch DroidX bootstrap for Droid2. I'm quite happy TBH gets to keep my second donation/payment on Market.
Make sure you root with Z4root first!
