[GUIDE] One Click How to Root EVO with Unrevoked 3.21

I first want to thank everyone at UnrEVOked for what they've done. I'm posting this because the UnrEVOked post doesn't really give any instructions. Its an easy enough root, but I know I've been there before and even the simplest things can be tough if things aren't laid out. So here's a step by step tutorial.
Due to some bugs, Unrevoked 3.2 was taken down shortly after being released, but the updated version is now LIVE! So obviously we're going to bring you a video tutorial on how to do it! Thanks to the guys at Unrevoked for giving us this simple solution to rooting the HTC EVO 4G.

I've been having problems whereby when I turn off the EVO and then hold the "power" and "volume-down" buttons it goes directly into HBOOT - not giving me any option to select HBOOT USB. I press the voume-down button, but it doesn't do anything. Of course it winds up not being able to find PCIMAGE.zip and the root FAILS.
Any advice? All my drivers are current (I even tried to install the drivers mentioned and it said all my drivers were already current). I am in "charge mode" only, and I am in USB debugging. I am also on a Windows 7 machine.
Many thanks for your help in this matter.
Sincerely,
Kevin

can i install even if already rooted

you need to get the correct bootloader pcmimg file. Take the file drag and drop onto your SD card and then boot into hboot screen. Install and apply updates. Find the correct H-boot zip located in the eng bootloader thread located in here within the first 5 pages.

Why do you need a PC36IMG.zip ? this doesn't use one.

Probably trying to flash a ROM and ran into this problem

Thanks for posting a Guide this will help a lot of us.
If my My phone is:
Firmware version 2.1-update1
Baseband version 2.02.00.06.10
Software number 1.47.651.1
Can I use this Unrevoked 3.21 method, or is it better to use other posted methods like Whitslacks or the thread by fastRX8. Is one method better than the other?
Thanks for your advice!

You're safe using this. Easiest method IMO. Good luck
EDIT: Since you're on 2.1, go ahead and update to 2.2. You may be fine running this on 2.1, but I'm not certain.

There's no need for the RUU. What does the unrevoked app say its doing right now?

Video walkthrough has been posted. Check the OP for the link

I didn't use this I updated the pcm36.img but it says boot- fail pu
But it will update everything else, I bought the phone from someone he gave me the phone on the older 2.1-update1 it was originally rooted it does say S-OFF so I'm not 100% if that's my issue then towards the end it said partition failed, is my nbest bet to start from scratch from what it seems?? Flash stock evo ruu and root with unrevoked from that

awesome OP!! thank you!!

and this now works perfect for 2.2? and no 4g issue??

[HOWTO] Update to JH7 using Kies Mini (USA)

Decided to make a thread on it since I have two posts floating around that have helped people:
I was once one of the large group that the OTA JH7 Update failed at 50%
However, Today after downloading Kies Mini, I was successfully able to upgrade and remain "stock" JH7 from update without root etc.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
THERE APPEARS THERE MAY BE ISSUES WITH KIES MINI ON 64BIT SYSTEMS - USE A 32 BIT OPERATING SYSTEM
Launcher Pro and Kies Mini may not work well together, if you are updating from a NON-FRESH JF6 you must revert to TouchWiz (Stock) Launcher
1.) Flashed a fresh JF6 ODIN One-Click. (With power off, you can enter download mode by holding both volume buttons and inserting USB once ODIN is open)
2.) Enabled USB Debugging and Ran Master Clear.
3.) Installed Kies-Mini on the PC and let it install the new drivers etc.
4.) Checked phone to be sure it was clear of any additional files on the SD.
5.) Under Settings - Applications - USB Settings - Selected "Ask on connection" (you MAY also need to re-enable USB Debugging, try without it first)
5.) Started Kies-Mini and then plugged in my device selecting "Kies"
6.) Upon device detection it notified me an update was available.
7.) Ran update and I am now Official STOCK JH7 including the new QuickOffice and Media Hub
Proof that it made it to 100%: (This screen shows after download & install - It is verifying the install)
You find a download to the JF6 ODIN One-Click here: (Thanks to DESIGNGEARS)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
You can download Kies Mini for the Captivate Here: (Thanks to SAMSUNG)
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/c...0737296/Kies_Mini_For_Captivate_10082_8_1.exe
Special Thanks to Krad for notifying the community that Kies Mini was now available!
Thanks to shawnl01 and ScottyNuttz for discovering that "Enable USB Debugging" may solve a few problems
Thanks to Dxtra for pointing out that Launcher Pro and Kies Mini do not work together

Worked for me. Kies-Mini, not the full Kies. Just "Unmount SD Card" and leave it unmounted. Set USB setting to "Samsung Kies". Uncheck "USB Debugging Mode".
This assuming that you've done Odin3 (JF6 flash and Master Clear) correctly, and cleared user and data cache.

Included, thanks for the notification of the release of Kies mini and making this possible for so many!

A little nit picking, there is no such firmware as JH6. Please update your OP with correct information. The first release firmware is JF6.

You sir are correct, thanks for catching the mistake!

JH7 over Kies Mini
OK, I decided to give this a try. Here is what I did:
1) Flashed back to stock (JF6);
2) Cleared cache & user data;
3) Formatted SD card;
4) Connected to PC and Kies picked it up and quickly indicated update of JH7 was available;
5) Kies updated - it took about 15 minutes to download and install.
The first think I did was test the GPS and it locked indoors in less than 10 seconds. I did not have WiFi or "Use wireless networks" on. It gave 10 meters accuracy within about 20 seconds.
I also noticed the media scanning was very fast and there seems to be very little lag. All-in-all, so far, I think this is a good update. I will post again after I've tested the GPS out and about and a week or so of use to see if the lag remains minimal.

This whole update ordeal is sorta tickin' me off.
For whatever reason, I have not been able to install OTA. "Update is failed." message appears every time.
Attempted update last night with standard UK Kies. Said no upgrade was available.
Just attempted Kies mini and every time the phone is plugged into the computer is causes the application to throw an "Application has stopped working" error under Windows 7.
Phone shows JF7. CSC and PDA show JF6.
What... the... hell!

I am also on Windows 7 and had no issue, did you try using the software provided above? Also, did you remove the other version of KIES and follow step by step?
Also maybe try using a different USB port, and run the application in compatibility mode

Yes. Software provided above. Removed all traces of previous Kies. Attempted in XP compatibility mode. Ran with Administrator privileges. All of it.
Still nada.
Guess it's on to Odin, reflash stock JF6 and start fresh.

Anyone have any ideas about the unregistered I get on kies mini? My phone is registered with samsung if thats what it means.

When I was on Cognition etc, I was still able to connect my device to Kies Mini just not update it.
Try this:
On your device, make USB connection to Kies as default by going to [Settings] > [About phone] > [USB settings].
Then unmount both of your SD Cards, Internal and External.
Go where your installed Kies. For example:" C:\Program Files\Samsung\KiesMini" look for AMiniLauncher and start it
Then try to connect your device.

Now im getting a "failed to connect to the model information server" Anyone else experience this?
EDIT: Seems to only happen when in USB debugging mode. When I switch out USB debugging I get the unregistered error.

I heard somewhere that launcher pro and kies don't work together, go back Touchwiz default launcher. Hope that helps.

This is true, I didn't make note of that because the instructions assume that they are starting by flashing a fresh JF6 through ODIN.
But If they make the attempt from a non fresh install that would be a very good point. - added to the instructions! Thank you!

Make sure you are using Kies USB mode and has TouchWiz as your default launcher and you're on your home screen when you connected your USB cable. All three must be met and if you're doing right, your phone will show MTP Application screen.

[Q] Rooting Samsung Galaxy S II

Hi guys. I'm totally new at this rooting and all. I tried rooting my Galaxy S II so heres what happened.
I used Odin v1.85 and that worked out perfectly. But when i used SuperOneClick v2.1.1 to root afterwards, it goes up to "waiting for device" and hangs out and the next thing i see is that the SuperOneClick is not responding. I have all the things required like .NET Framework 2.0/Samsung Kies 2.0
I also had no choice cause i dont have any SD card in my phone to try the other process.
I would really appreciate it if you guys could help me out here. Thanks

uninstall super one click then try flashing with ODIN.

Ensure you have USB debugging enabled.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk

Make sure:
a. Kies is installed but not running
b. USB debugging is on (Settings>Applications>Development)

Well, Kies is installed and USB Debugging Mode is on. But still it does not work. I have done all things step by step but doesn't work.
Will flashing with Odin do the same thing (I mean like rooting) ?

Maybe your USB drivers need updating. KIES has the option to update drivers - or you can download drive and app from PDAnet.
With your phone plugged in to USB (debugging on), can you -adb devices- and see your phone? If not the you have a driver problem.
With the drivers fixed everything else should work for rooting the device.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

Start from the beginning if all else fails...
Flash to stock with Odin, make sure you have the correct drivers installed and debugging mode is active. Then try super one click again... If that fails again, try tonroot manually by reinstalling the update.zip package

[Q] Forgot to select USB Debugging before rooting

Hello there, I have just finished to root my note 10.1 (n8010) and I realized that before the procedure I forgot to activate the USB Debugging. The tablet works fine, it shows that I have root access, the odin download mode works fine and the CWM works as well. Do I need to redo the procedure or not? what are the implications of having forgotten to activate USB Debugging?
Thanks

USB debugging may be required for the process, but not after it's finished. Unless you want to hack your system some more, which is what I'd do

Click to collapse
WARNINGS & DISCLAIMERS
Proceed with caution and at your own risk - I am not responsible if your phone self destructs, gets bricked, or melts.
Please keep in mind that both these methods will yield ROOT only - as of know there is no way to unlock bootloader on AT&T
Rooting and any other modifications to your phone will void your warranty - do not root if you do not know what you are doing.
Rooted devices will not be able to receive OTA updates. You may have to unroot and restore stock in order to accept updates.​

FAQ:
Q. Will this reset my root counter in the hidden settings menu?
A. Based On my experience - YES - After restoring using this method the root counter showed NO ROOT and the Root Checker app from the market also showed Not Rooted.
Q. When I tried to follow the above method I get a "Can't change to download mode" error referencing "Error 00000064"
A. I experienced this several times when attempting to un-root using a USB 3.0 port. Connect the phone using a USB 2.0 port preferably connected directly to the computer - and make sure the phone is already in download mode. Occasional you may need to unplug the USB cable from your phone for a couple of seconds and reconnect to get the process started.

Don't need it now and hopefully won't, but if I do this is where I'm headed. Thanks man.

Had to do this for a boot loop I induced trying to remove CarrierIQ. I was following the thread from the general section which has all this information but spread out through the thread. Very simple. Nice to have all the links to the ATT specific stuff so thanks for posting this thread. Would have saved me 40+ minutes of searching around.

I followed the guide but every time I am at Step 15, process fails with message "Can't change to download mode" 00000064. I am still able to get to download mode and do the steps again and again but it doesn't get past this same error message and fails.
I did a factory reset before running the flasher tool. After a couple of failed attempts, I enabled "usb debugging" thinking that might have to do something with the reset process. Still no go ...
Any suggestions? or solutions? Thanks.

Having this same issue. Driving me crazy >.<

USB 2.0 with OEM cable and Windows 8 machine. So no USB 3.0 here. I am trying to arrange a windows 7 machine. I read somewhere around here that LG drivers don't play well with Windows 8/8.1 so thought its worth a try.

Followed this sequence too. Still same. Can't change to download mode. This time around it didn't show "00000064". But hey thanks for suggestion. :good:

Finally I was able to get a computer running windows 7. I setup the machine with fresh download and installation of drivers and tools. Reset process went through without a hitch. It took 277 sec for the entire flash process to complete. I verified the root counter in LG RCT menu and its says "Not Rooted" now. All traces of root gone. Time to box it up and send it to the new owner

Absolutely. Followed the steps in OP and got a nice looking G3 all reset to factory specs. Thanks.

Anyone have the files to do this on the Verizon version?

So this doesn't work with Windows 8/8.1 at all?

Question about drivers. I installed LG pc suite on my computer. Will the drivers that come with it work with this, it should I uninstall and reinstall the drivers from the op?

Although it may, I recommend using the unified drivers.. Those have adb drivers built in.
