OBSOLETE.

In the event something happens to your phone, -I'm- not responsible for the damages to it, you are. The end. I've personally tested this method and it works flawlessly.
This tutorial entails gaining full root access on your Evo. That means we -will- be unlocking NAND. But most importantly, we'll be doing it all without the use of a computer. Needless to say, this is going to take a while, especially if you don't have access to a wifi signal. The PC36IMG.zip files are rather hefty and are going to take at least 30 minutes to download. So I suggest you start downloading both of them now.​
Prerequisites: Download Astro File Manager from the market. Open it up, hit the menu key on your phone, select more, select preferences, then scroll down and make sure Enable Browser Download is checked.
This is a template for you guys that'll explain to you how to move a file to the root of your SD card using Astro File Manager.
The files that you've downloaded from the links below are going to be located in the Downloads folder that is on the root of your SD card.
Unless you're using a browser like Xscope or Dolphin, then you'd have to navigate to the particular browser's folder that you're using, open it up and find the downloads folder in there.
When you first open the Astro File Manager app, you're going to be staring at what is the actual root of your SD card. Remember that.
Code:
When I tell you to move something to the root of your SD card, you're going to:
Locate and open the appropriate download folder that contains the file I am referring to.
Long press on the file.
Select Edit.
Select Move.
Press the Back key on your phone 'til you've reached the root of your SD card in Astro File Manager.
Click the Menu key on your phone.
Select Edit.
Select Paste.
When I tell you to rename a file you're going to:
Long press on the file.
Select Edit.
Select Rename.
Rename it accordingly and select done.
Step 1. Download this file http://link.geekfor.me/rootedromzip and move it to the root of your SD card.
Step 2. Power down your phone.
Step 3. Hold down the Volume Down and Power key simultaneously and keep holding it down until you've reached a white screen with 3 android dudes on skateboards.
Step 4. It's going to give you some options, whether or not to install the PC36IMG.zip, select yes (volume up is yes) for any prompt you get.
Step 5. Once you've rebooted you will officially have root access. Just not full root access, we still need to unlock NAND.
Step 6. Navigate to the root of your sd card and rename the PC36IMG.zip file whatever you want, doesn't matter. Just don't name it update. You can even delete it if you want.
Step 7. Download the mtd-eng.zip file here. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=342668&d=1276481802 And the flash_image.zip file here. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=342667&d=1276481776
Step 8. Navigate to the root of your SD card and locate both of the .zip files you just downloaded. Open them, and long press on the files inside of them, then select Edit, then Copy, navigate back to the root of your SD card, press menu, select Edit, and then paste. Do the same thing for both files.
Step 9. Open up the Android Market and download the terminal emulator app by Jack Palevick, it's free.
Step 10. Open the terminal emulator app and type in these commands exactly as they are written. If you get an error, try again.
Note: After each line is completed, hit enter. A # sign means you've run the commands successfully.
Code:
[B]su
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image misc /sdcard/mtd-eng.img[/B]
Step 11. Download the new PC36IMG.zip file here -http://sdx-downloads.com/sdx/evo/troot/eng-PC36IMG.zipand move it to the root of your SD card, then rename it to "PC36IMG.zip" because the is named eng-PC36IMG.zip, which is wrong. Then power down your phone.
Step 12.
Hold volume down and power to boot into hboot.
- It should now find and verify the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard. It'll show a blue status bar on the top right of the screen.
- After a minute or so it will ask u if u wanna flash Select YES.
- After it flashes the PC36IMG.zip it will ask if you wanna reboot. Select YES.

Step 13. Once your phone has rebooted, download the recovery.img file here - http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-evo-v1.7.0.1.img Then move it to the root of your SD card and rename it "recovery.img"
Step 14. Still know how to use terminal emulator? Open it up and type in these commands.
Code:
[B]su
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
chmod 755 /data/flash_image
/data/flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img[/B]
You now have full root access as well as a legit recovery.
If you want to flash a ROM or the newest radio and you don't know how to do that, there's already guides for that. So I won't include that in my tutorial, just click here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710513

I must look like a douche what with the bold CAPS asking to note the donation link in my signature, which used to be a link to Dr. Cloverdale's paypal, not mine. Just thought I'd clear that up.

Great Work!!
Wow, great work!! Seems easy enough to me. I have a quick question as i haven't rooted yet and don't know all it entails.
First, you say after this method that we have a "legit recovery"...does that mean if i hard reboot, that there is a rooted, nand unlocked image you put there already that will flash with a hard reset? And if so, what image did you use? (or is it exactly the same as stock but rooted)
Second, some of the other quides state we need to root, then unlock, then flash a custom recovery...it looks as if you have all 3 steps included right?
Finally, is there anything else you recommend i do after i complete root using your method?? I am looking forward to maximizing this phone!!
Thanks for this guide!!! Can't wait to try it out.

Legit, as in the most legit recovery on the scene, that being Amon_RA's.
Yup, got all three covered in that order.
Here's a link that shows you an in-depth guide on how to flash ROM's and what-have-you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710513
No problem, man. Let me know how it goes for ya'.

Does this method still work with the latest OTA patch on 6/28/10?

Aren't you supposed to have Superuser Permissions after flashing the first ROM?

and you do get super permissions after you flash a CUSTOM rom....

what's your definition of 'CUSTOM'? This isn't my first time rooting, I unrooted lastnight and decided to try this method to see if it would work. I know for a fact that during the original rooting process the first PC36IMG you flash, you have Superuser permissions. And the second one that is flashed is the ROM to unlock NAND. However, doing this method, after flashing the first PC36IMG, I do not have Superuser permissions

However, it does seem that this method works. So I'm happy. It's good to know that I don't have to rely on a computer to root my phone now. Now the only thing I need to do, is figure out how to UNroot my phone without a computer.

Android believer, did you update to the ota update yesterday? Do you know if this works with the ota v1.47.651.1?

I would assume it doesn't, as this is still toastcfh's method of rooting except it's done without a computer.

@ neckface
Hope you're not tired of hearing from me. First, thanks mass for this.
You say this is Toasts method without computer. I'm on the orig stock ROM, no 1.47 update. I WANT to do the update (for better battery mainly). I want to do whitslacks method. He says you need eng hboot 76.2000. He says use Toasts part 2 to get that.
Should I : use this to get eng hboot, then go to whitslacks for the 1.47 update? You seem to have a pretty good grip on this, so I thought I'd ask your opinion.
(if this is still Toastcfhs method, are these links to the same files he has posted? Meaning, will this get me eng-Hboot 76.2000? )
Thanks a lot.

anybody
Really interested in this. Anyone have success with this from 1.32 SW, and does it give you hboot 76.2000 ?
Thanks in advance.

OK i must be the dumb one
I have already used the "Unrevoked method" so I thought I could just skip to the Nand unlock. Now the phone(EVO) will not allow me access to my sdCard...and..will not read when I plug it up to my USB PC(windows) instead of it coming up as android like it use to it comes up as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM(new found hardware wizard)....and the phone can only charge when the phone is powered off. Its like the usb is not responding and I can not have access to the SD card via teh device..i need advice

Thank you
Thank you,
I don't know if it was the wrong recovery.img or what, but I could not do a nand unlock. This worked great and did it all off the phone..... Awsome

[Q] I can't root gtablet

This is my first droid product and I really am getting frustrated with it. I can't seem to root into it. Is there some program that I need to download to access the root folder. I have the clockwork mod and TNT but I can't install them. When I try to flash but the stock box with the arrow comes up. Please help I'm retarded.

Use z4root to root, then root explorer to make mounts R/W.

Read the first post of both those threads. You don't need root to install Clockwork or TnTlite.

okay just installed cwmod and tnt but the tab still is starting up regularly. this is step by step of what im doing. i plug my gtab in and activate usb transfer, then on my desktop i have folders such as :android secure,andriod,apps,backup,dcim,download,gtabtntlite,lostdir,recovery,update.zip. so did i put the rom and clockwork in the right area? then when i go into recovery it loads like normal. what the heck am i doing wrong???????

When you boot your tab holding the power/vol+, hold the vol+ until you see "recovery key pressed". If you don't get the clockwork menu then clockwork is not installed.
Read the first post of those to threads carefully and make sure you have the correct command file in the recovery directory.
There are 2 clockwork zips. If you use the internal one you will need to put the update.zip on the root of the internal sdcard andthe recovery folder with the command file on the root of the internal sdcard.
/sdcard/update.zip
/sdcard/recovery/command
the command file deletes the first time you boot. You have to hold the Vol+ when booting until you see "recovery key pressed"

Look in the recovery directory. There should be a file named "command" (just "command", with no extension). Bring that into your PC, and look at it with Notepad or some text editor, and see if it says "SDCARD" or if it says "SDCARD2". Since you put your update.zip into /sdcard, the command file should say "SDCARD", otherwise, recovery is going to look on the external/microSD card, rather than then internal sdcard.

THANK YOU
man you guys are awsome i finally got the hack to work and let me tell you its worth all the hair i pulled out. thank you guys for tall the patience and understanding the gtab is bad ass now. im using vega 5 and i love it.

[Q] How do I keep ClockworkMod?

OK, so after fighting with my Nexus S 4G for three hours trying to get it rooted (it took 15 - 30 minutes for my Hero and Evo Shift) I finally established root and wanted to install ClockworkMod. Of course I've come to learn that it's just not that simple, and I have to rename the default recovery, which require r/w permissions, and just more hoops to jump through.
Long story short, I rooted, set r/w access and renamed install-recovery.sh and used ROM Manager to install ClockworkMod. Reboot to recovery, and all seems well. Except that the next time I reboot, I'm back to the default recovery, my renamed install-recovery.sh.old is no where to be found and low and behold, install-recovery.sh is back.
Considering how easy this was with HTC devices... I'm starting to get a little pissed off.
Anyone have any idea why I can't maintain ClockworkMod?

Why don't you just use fastboot and flash the recovery image? It will be permanent if you do that... It takes about ten seconds.

Download the clockwork mod recovery and rename it to recovery.img then reboot your phone into the bootloader (hold volume up while you power on your phone). With the Android sdk installed and in your path, type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and enjoy. If you want more specific help, you can pm me. I'll need to know what type of computer you have, Windows, Mac, or Linux in that case.

If you're sure you did the renaming properly and after that the file got restored back, I'd suggest you trying to trick the system by making a backup of the original install-recovery.sh and then instead of renaming it, just delete everything in that file so you still have the file named install-recovery.sh which will do noting to the recovery partition

OK... tried this. No go.
Reboot still shows the default and not clockwork.

The file I renamed on my i9020a to prevent stock recovery from being reinstalled was in the folder \etc and was called install-recovery.bak
Cheers

So you're saying that your NS is rooted but when you boot into recovery, default recovery replaces CWM right?
1) Download 'Root Explorer' and 'ROM Manager' from the Market (Skip this step if you already have done so)
2) Reboot
3) Open 'Root Explorer' and open 'etc' directory
4) On the top right hand corner, click the 'Mount R/W' button
5) On the same directory, find 'install-recovery.sh' and rename this file to a different name (e.g. install-recovery.sh.old)
6) Open 'ROM Manager' and click 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.'
7) Reboot

Have you tried to lock it back up and return to stock? I suspect you are using the latest clockwork mod too right? I feel your pain. My Hero was a PITA to root and it had all kinds of wanky problems one day and the next.. Blue skys.

See, the Hero was easy for me. The Nexus seems 10 times harder to do things to.
I have noticed this, I have an:

and
system\etc\install-recovery.sh
Do I need to rename both?

This is what I did and worked perfectly. But I allready had KD1 which I recomend you get. Download the recovery and update.zip and put both of them on the root of your sd card. Then get root explorer from the market. Open root explorer and go down to sdcard. In the sd card you are gonna find the recovery file you placed in there. Your long press it and its gomma say copy. Copy that and press back button and then your at the main page of root explorer again. Its gonna say paste and cancle at.the bottom but dont press anything yet. You go all the way down to system and go into it and then into /bin. In /bin your gonna press the mount r~w button at the top right which allows you to paste the file. You press paste at bottom left and its gonna ask if you want to overwrite say yes.(if it didnt ask you overwrite that either means the file you downloaded was renamed.or there was a (2) or (3) on it if you downloaded various times. Just take the ending out so its.just.recovery)
Now back out to homescreen of your phone.and if you have kd1 you can get into recovery from quickboot if not then turn off your phone and hold powerbutton and both volume keys while the phones turning on normally it will go to a bluish screen with an android.(recovery) here you click reinstall packages and your done

you have to flash a rom using cwm!
btw please post questions in general section not the dev section

ok well if a mod could move this thread...i understand how to flash it what i dont get is why i have to modify the binary to run cwm and why android commander wont run to push the file

You need to modify the binary because a stock recovery can't flash unsigned roms, which any rom not from samsung is. Android commander won't push that file because system needs to be remounted as read/write, rather than read only.
You can use my modified oneclickroot script to push the correct modified binary and install the update.zip to get you into CWM
