Hello everyone first time writing in the forums and need a little help. I am looking to root my HTC Evo for the first time and going to use it through a MAC with Unrevoked. I downloaded the reflash and I have Snow Leopard 10.6 on my comp and for whatever reason when I am prompted to connect my phone along with the debugging active on the phone as well, nothing seems to happen at all and in some instances even freezes up my comp. I was wondering if I have to update my phone to the newest update(3.70) which I haven't done yet? will that make a difference? any advice or help will be so appreciated, thank you!!

Okay so the other day i was searching for any new updates for my wildfire and apparently there was one (not firmware update just software) i wasn't sure wat the software number was.... but there was an update.
But after i completed the update i realize my wifi was unable to start. (meaning every time i try to turn it on it gives me a message saying it wont turn on) so i called htc tech support and they were no help at all (wasted 30 of my minutes)
after that i decided to factory reset my phone but still no hope. so does anyone know what i can do?? root? but how will it help me if i root my phone?? also i cant go on the market cuz there's no wifi so i cannot download astro or any file manager to help me install the root applications.
any suggestions? cuz right now i cant even retrieve my contacts or anything...
thank you in advance for any suggestions.
Exactly the same problem here
Hey mate,
Have you had any luck with above, I have exactly the same problem and after contacting HTC they said it is a Hardware problem send it back for repairs. How could that be it was all working fine before the Firmware update ah!!
Anybody got any solutions for this, thanks in advance ?
So I just got the latest version of CM7 for my Droid 2 Global and apart from all of the awesomeness there seems to be a fairly big problem: my pc will not recognize my phone being connected. It used to work (I used it to unbrick my phone, flash CM, root my phone, unroot it because GB raped my root, and I just used it to charge my phone on a daily basis). I've looked for this issue everywhere, and I either can't find somebody that has the same issue, or the way they resolved it doesn't work for me. What's interesting though is that if I plug in my phone then reboot it, my pc recognizes it... But if I unplug it, my pc won't recognize it if I plug it back in again. Hopefully this is simple enough that I can solve it (with anybodies gracious help of course) but not too simple that I feel stupid (even though I know almost nothing about what I'm actually doing).
Any helps and/or flame is greatly appreciated.
You probably would have much more luck solving this problem by heading to the forums where people actually work on this CM7 port.

I don't know about the above advice, but,
I do know that I have read many many posts where the problem was resolved by getting the most recent drivers for your device. Unfortunately, I don't have a link to these to post, and I am not sure this will solve your problems but...
Just my 2¢

Could you be a little more specific? I've got the latest version of the google USB drivers installed available on the Android SDK tools.

It's not a problem with the latest drivers. It works fine when the phone is connected to the computer and then the phone is restarted. When it comes back up it is recognized perfectly fine. It's definitely something wrong in the build.
I have an urgent question regarding rooting my new Optimus V (Virg Mob), that if possible, i could use an immediate answer for i have very limited time.
I recently purchased a like new, used Optimus V 2.2 o/s off a friend, that is currently not-activated on the Virgin Mobile network, but have been sending/recieving calls and texts through Wi-Fi apps such as Line2 and netTalk. Is it possible to use sublimewulf's method of rooting the opt_v without service (prefer one click root)? i understand that it says it must be activated, but im curious if Wifi will work just as good, or if there is a simple ''one click root'' method i could use. im just not sure why it must be active, im not sure what is done during the one-click method.
Can I root my Optimus V with a One Click root program/app WITHOUT service/activation? If so, could someone please point me in the direction of the download + instructions? Much thanks, its greatly appreciated for all future help- you have no idea..
Thanks XDA Dev team + members,,

Just click the thank button ;-)
Thank you very much, is it normal for the file to be especially large? not sure if the optimus could fit a 173mb file.
Also, what are the chances of this bricking my opt.v or ultimately destoying the operation of the phone??
Also, could you recommend a few ROM's? I heard cyanogenmod is rather popular, but what is it? whats it do- what makes it so special, i guess is what im trying to say. also, is it possible to put the new gingerbread o/s on my opt? would it run as smooth as it runs as is? thanks again, so
what would be a nice ROM to install, and where can they be found (free). also, what are the chances of this root device destroying my handheld, or bricking it? thanks again bro for the fast and accurate response! +thanks for sure!
Oh also,

(DEPRECATED)
I no longer support or care to support this is someone wants to take over and deal with this and the complaints go for it. It has not been tried on the 2.2.2 version of android in case you want to try it.

What is the meaning of this, under the fastbootroot thread? if this program at least works, why would he tag it as being deprecated? also saying he is tired of the complaints. please exp?
thank you. im trying to avoid the slightest bit of damage done to my new phone.
***EDIT::: Do i download the files (from the link you posted) to my phone, or my pc??
He means the complaints of him not working on it.
All you have to do is download this on your computer, as well as the LG drivers, and choose the [Full Package] option, and it will root your phone. Afterwards, see if you can get into recovery, and if not, run the program again and choose the [Flash a custom recovery] option.
Ive used this several times, never a problem.
Best ROM for me was Harmonia, which can be found on Android Central.
i tried both quickbootroot (your link/app posted above) , and also SuperOneClick v2.2, and neither one worked. I tried SuperOneClick, opened the program, and clicked [Root], (after connecting USB to droid, and turning on debugging), and it froze at Stage 2. How do i fix this, and what could cause it?
Im not sure if the cable im using is a charging cable ,or a data cable. i didnt think it would matter, but anyway, how can i tell, and would this cause it?
When i tried the quickbootroot, i opened the .bat file, the disclaimer came up, i hit [y] and enter, and it just went away- nothing happened...
I also ran the usb drivers exe on the computer (i hope this was right), and nothing happened from it neither.
What did i do wrong, and how do i fix this problem? I just want to root my device already...
Hello fellow xoomers, im having a problem hope some one can help me. first off i'm a noob to rooting. I have a xoom wifi running android 3.0 , kernel version is 2.6.36.3 build HRI39. I was adventurous and tried to root my xoom and needless to say it didn't go well. I honestly thought I bricked the damn thing, to my shock and welcomed surprised I was able to do a wipe and erase all the data on my device and return to factory settings. but when it went to connect to the wifi all it's saying is wifi error every thing else seems to work fine. so i was wondering should i try to re root my xoom again??? will this correct the issue i'm having with my wifi?? and can some one point me to a guide that's made for the version i'm currently running seems likes there's a million and one different types of software and you have to have the right one for the version your running or every thing goes from sugar to well you know the rest. Any help would be greatly appreciated if you need any more info please let me know. thank you all in advance.....
I am in desperate need of some help. I falshed a rom to my phone using odin that was not for my device, since I am new at this and actually don't know much about it. So I looked for guidance on this forum and messaged many ppl but I have not gotten a response. I have tried links on the forum for the roms but they are all removed from the links. I flashed a rom for a shg-t959d and it boots up but it will not read my sd card says blank card but its not balnk my computer reads it, also my storage says 0.00gb. I just really want my phone back to a working state any help would be greatly appreciated.
Find links?
Any luck with your phone? I am looking to root mine as well, but like you I can't find any working files, or anybody to help. I have also posted and emailed people with no response. Very frustrating for beginners. I would be great full if you could pass any info on to me, and I will do the same for you. Were you able to root your phone without problem, and if so how? I was going to use odin, then I got nervous, so I was going to try superoneclick. Any help you can give would be great.
