Make sure your phone is on USB Debug mode. (MENU > Settings > Applications > Developement > USB debugging = Checked )
How-To
Click on Step 1 and you have Root!
Click on Step 2 to flash recovery! You must flash a ROM manually after rooting!!! For whatever reason it is, ROM Manager does not operate correctly after the downgrade.
Remove all the file not need after you've completed all the step by clicking Extras > Clean root-files

What recovery is this going to use?

Lets you choose

After I just finished a few hours ago reading every post in the other thread and following all those steps!
Way to go, jiqqaman! This will help out quite a few folks on here.

Awesome. I rooted my phone earlier (at least I think I did) and I can't get any rom to install. I think it has to do with the amon-ra recovery so I'm glad this will let me choose.
Does it matter that my evo may already be rooted?

Damn your quick.

Wow Amazing if this works I like very much. Great work put up a more prominent donation button

Such a tease!

so this will root a phone that did the 6/29 OTA? just by following these steps?

Where do I get this util?

Jiggaman, you are DA MAN! BTW, check your PM. =)

also jigga, i noticed the first step is a factory reset. is there any way to back up any of my apps and/or data before doing this considering i dont have root privileges at the moment.

Will this do full NAND unlock?
Sorry if that is a noob question.

I dunno anything bout unrevoked , but this doesnt give you the latest radio/wimax that the 1.47.651.1 OTA has. Theres a guide that shows you how to add the latest radio/wimax somewhere on the forum.

I'm using this as my very first post here.
On my old evo I used simple root and it was amazing! I had to return the old evo and get a new one, and as luck would have it it came with the new update.
I can't wait for this new simple root to be uploaded, I keep checking this thread every 5 minutes.
Anyway, one this program is up, running and working I assure you I will be clicking the donate button.
Thank you for the work and effort you are putting into this.

well unrevoked basically let you do anything root would except remove bloatware and flash roms
cuz what i was planning to do was install the update directly from my phone and then root with this method .. if i do that will my phone have the latest radio wimax added on to it already?

It's got the best of both worlds! Stock AT&T ROM for good sound quality, but it's also rooted!

But does rooting the stock rom enable hsupa upload speeds? If not, we need s combo rom with a desire and am inspire, sound issue fixed, hsupa enabled.

Is this perma-root? If so how did you do it or can you provide a cwm zip file?

If he simply roots the stock AT&T ROM, it still will not have the Settings Checkbox for allowing non-market apps to be installed, thus he must still use a sideloading app or use "adb install".

That's what I figured.

This.
The problem is, the way I rooted, ro.secure is still set to 1 (adb sees the phone as a non-rooted phone) which means I can't use "adb remount".
If I could use adb remount, it's a really simple script to update the settings.db file to allow for sideloading

Couldnt you use the method described here to do the "temproot" in order to get the adb root prompt and change it that way?

I also meant to ask if this has wifi tether enabled. I'm assuming it doesn't.

Edit: it seems unroot didnt work, though like mentioned above you would only want to unroot incase of hardware issue or you want t replace the phone wit T-Mo, but thats all good now cause i posted a working Odin image earlier.

So cwm doesn't work for the sidekick 4g

First off thank you for the easy root But now I have an issue, the SD card wont work, looks like it wont find the extension anyone know how to fix this? Ive used many different card and none read but I know all work. Without this I cant do a ROM

Try reformatting the card? Did they work before you rooted? do they work again if you unroot?

They worked before the root, I didn't unroot yet. When you out then in the phone and go to the SD card setting it shows nothing. Just says unavailable. So I can't even format it on the phone. I've formatted them in many ways on the pc too
HTC EVO = my best friend

did you try pulling out the sdcard and putting it back in? does it show a blank sdcard, or no sdcard at all?

need a mirror, site is down

I cannot get # in adb. Only $. Can anyone tell me why? I rooted with this method and have smooth maximus v2.0 and bali kernel v2.0. Any ideas?

Can't Flash any Kernels

I've tried flashing jac0bs kernel and both the normal and novc rohan kernels and to keep things simple lets just say I've been using the app "Flash Image GUI" to do it. For some reason after rebooting nothing changes, I don't understand why literally nothing happens. I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.

after you flash the boot.img from flashgui, you're supposed to go into recovery and then flash the actual kernel.

Your problem tells me you're on hboot 1.14. You won't be able to flash kernels with that. i suggest downgrading your hboot to 1.09. You won't have any of those issues. You'll find a manual tut in the General section and a JET tool in the Android Dev section.

That will only work if the kernel has a specialized aroma installer. I don't know if they still use it or not anymore. Venom probably does

With hboot 1.14 I'd say that's his best bet. Unless of course, he goes the fastboot way.
Sent from the best d*** phone I've ever used

I would highly recommend downgrading your hboot. It seems daunting but it works great.

Whoa, lots of replies lol. Ok so I'm just gonna downgrade the hboot since it would probably cause other problems too I'm sure. Just haven't had a chance to do it until now, I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks guys.

Sorry dude, but I can't find this manual tutorial. Could you please do me another favour and link it to me or something? Or perhaps be more specific as to what I'm searching for?
EDIT2:
Nevermind. Finally got hboot working.. you have no idea how much **** I ran into trying to do it but. First Linux just kept freezing and crashing so I had to actually install the thing so I didn't keep losing all my progress. Then I got the Jet Tool started and after a few minutes the screen was black and unresponsive resulting in my phone bricking. I tried the unbrick command and recover commands in the tool and nothing would happen so I read up on how to unbrick plus other sneaky Linux commands which I had to use and eventually I kickstarted the Jet Tool again and it started working and got to a point where it became stuck again BUT my charging light was on. So I opened up bootloader and I had hboot 1.09. Longest most frustrating 4 hours of my life -__-
EDIT3:
No matter what I do now, after flashing the kernel the phone gets stuck at the screen:
Code:
Android is Upgrading...
Starting apps.

Sorry for spamming but I'm gonna assume no one knows the answer to my problem so maybe the following screenshots will help. I managed to get the phone to boot completely by flashing the kernel via Flash Image GUI and then flashing my ROM boot.img via fastboot but once again the kernel remains unchanged. Is there something wrong with CyanogenMod or something??

Look through QBKings videos found here. Please note, his videos, on the M8, are all listed in the black box on the right.
All of his videos regarding the M8 can be found in this link. You may find what you need in his tutorials.

Great Information
:good:

I'm wondering if "how to videos" that discuss rooting, custom recoveries, custom ROMs, etc. should also include a warning about accepting OTA updates?
Lots of Galaxy S3 and S4 users unknowingly accepted OTA updates to find their phones were now hopelessly locked down and no custom recoveries could be installed.
I personally believe ALL carriers want their phones locked down securely and do NOT want anyone to be able to mod a phone in any way and with this belief comes the thought that any phone such as the M8 will sooner or later receive an OTA that will lock the bootloader.
A warning about OTAs couldn't hurt anything...

Hi ppl, looking into how to threads, I am still looking for a way to disable SIM from unknown source msg on my m8, how can I do that?
