[Q/Help Needed]MD5 Sum HTC Evo Shift - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I've temp rooted my Evo Shift, and am in the process of trying to perma-root it, but once I get to the point I need to do the md5 check, I always get "No such file or directory".
I've tried md5sum /sdcard/Shift/hboot_orig.bin AND busybox md5sum /sdcard/Shift/hboot_eng.nb0 and neither have worked.
Any suggestions? I've seen this as a problem in other threads with no resolution!

What was your start point 2.2 or 2.3?

Really the main question to ask would be do you even have those files on your sdcard and are they in that specific folder?

Oddly enough I've seen someone have the same issue. They had the right files in the right place but kept getting the same errors. I think he just ended up using Shiftrr to root.

My starting point was 2.3, but I'm not new to rooting, I just got a replacement Shift after dorpping my old one. I've reverted back to 2.2 and rotted with ShiftRR, but I'm, hoping to use this thread to update back to 2.33 rooted.

Yes that's what your looking for then. It's the Stock Rooted 2.3 Rom. Runs quite well from what I remember .

[RUU] Official 2.31.651.7 in ZIP Format, Flashable from Fastboot

As the title says, here's the Rom.zip extracted from RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.31.651.7_signed_release.exe for those that don't use Windows, or prefer to have their RUU in zip format.
This will flash your phone to 2.31.651.7 STOCK.
http://www.mediafire.com/?m6x4sr682ruk027
Simply rename this to HERCIMG.zip and place on the root of your SDCard.
Power your phone completely off.
Press and Hold VOL DOWN and POWER until your phone boots into HBoot mode.
Wait for it to verify the zip, then click <ACTION> (Trackball) to update, or <SEND> (Green Call) to cancel.
Enjoy!
Here's my guide to rooting .7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804296
Personally..I want to say THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I have spent the last four hours searching for this. This needs to be stickied. I'm bookmarking it for sure. This got my phone unbricked..I thought all hope was lost and I would have to call in for warranty support (I got mine refurbed through Sprint last October..so I don't even know if I would still have any warranty support), and see if I could try my luck and getting it replaced, since that is what others have said to do as apparently this file from OP, did not exist.
And so for future reference, so that others don't go mindlessly searching through the forums.
If you
a.) Managed to overwrite your Recovery some how or completely delete it. (I did..and from searching this and many other forums over the past couple hours..I can see I wasn't the only one), and also have no boot (or a corrupted boot loop)
b.) Still have S-ON (You can find this out by powering off your phone and then pressing and holding the power button and the lower volume button), I recommend you turn S-Off for future reference if you're going to be dealing with customer ROMs a lot (so you don't have to go through the hell I just did..). See here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759955
c.) Have an updated Hboot (1.47) (you can also find this info. in part b.)
....then you KNOW that you are stuck. Because you
a.) Cannot flash a ROM in Recovery because you cannot access it.
b.) You cannot access ADB because your phone won't go that far and will only go into fastboot..
c.) But even though you have access to fastboot you can't do ANYTHING like flash a recovery image or a ROM..or anything for that matter..because S is still ON. (this is the "not allow" messages you will see pop up.)
d.) You have bootloader 1.47 so if you for example, were like me couldn't use this file here.. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=657086), because it would say there was a newer version and wouldn't install it.
So this file right here..was the only thing getting my phone back to a usable state. And considering that my searches have shown to pretty much give up all hope and have it sent it for warranty repair, then I think this thread deserves a bump for all those that have screwed up.
Yeah..I have to start ALL OVER now from a stock ROM (thank god for nandroid), but at least my phone isn't a dead brick.
Just thought this needed a well deserved bump.
I wonder if there is a RUU for the latest .2?
Wanted to say BIG THANKS. This worked like a charm to update prl/profile. Keeping two copies of this one on the sd and on the laptop. Thanks again.

Forgive me for seeming NOOBish... but I can use this to do the same, then restore Nandroid back and it will keep the PRL/Profile update?
Just wondering... lolz, thanks!
Yup But you will have to reroot. This takes root from you. You will have to reroot with the Hero rooter from Reg or Z4 or one click root. But read read read. And as far as the prl/profile yup it will stick. When your phone boots up after running this just go into settings and updates and choose update profile and update prl don't update firmware. I repeat don't update firmware. After that just reboot and check your prl should be 60675. After that reroot, then flash a recovery and then nand restore. Hope this helps good luck
Remember this returns you to stock you will loose root and recovery..
Yea it's me Again. With the

Why don't you guys just flash NFX's or LS's already rooted and way faster stock sense ROM to update PRL, etc?
Running stock ROM has to be one of the worst things ever after being on custom ROMs for so long.
I tried flashing almost ever sense rom on here pmgrands port, ninfintes stock odex and deodex and his apps 2 sd builds he has like 4 or 6 different builds. Tried flashing liquids builds beta and stable. All gave me a error. So I had to use this. I couldn't flash any sense rom
and it was easier to use this than try to figure out y. If he can flash a sense rom then yea that's the easier way but if not this is a for sure way to get back to stock.

Yup. That's way better and faster. Just go into settings / updates. Then just update prl and profile. Don't update firmware. After you confirm that your updated just nand restore and you should be good.

Thanks for the reply's all... I like Sense and have NFX rom on my Hero, loaded a few ROMS but they won't update, so no worries, when I have some free time I'll sit and do it then. I don't like the one click rooters nor the clockwork recovery, I guess I'm old school and do it the hard way, lol, but thanks for letting me know it'll work (prl update) and stay on the handset!

Without opening a huge can of worms I would like to know whats the best newest rom out there with sense I just searched for like 3 hours and lot of threads are old and I want what ever is new with sense also would like to upgrade to 2.2 im on Honeybun v.-2 lite firmware 2.1 update1

No need to reroot because it was a nandroid. Can't make a nandroid if you're not rooted.

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!

Guess it would help to answer you question. Bootstrap is how you reboot into CWR. Its cuz of the locked bootloader from what I gather that its needed

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.

[Q] New OTA? Or am I just way behind somehow?

I've a rooted G2X that's still running 2.2. Just over an hour ago I got a "T-Mobile Update Service." notification. Surprisingly there's no talk of a fresh OTA here so I'm not really sure what's going on. Not that an OTA would work for me since I'm rooted, but I guess it's going to keep bugging me until I do something about it.
2.3.3 was all the rage about a month or so ago.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Well, sure, but all news says that T-mobile stopped doing OTAs some time ago (started late July, stopped August 10). So why on earth is my phone just getting it now? I even do a manual check every so often and never got it. I didn't do anything special today that I can recall.
you should update it. you dont have nothing to lose. ifd your still rooted it will unroot but then you can flash nvflash recovery and go back to any rooted roms you want

T-Mobile removed the 2.3.3 update from their servers long ago. If you are getting something else it is new most likely. You can do an OTA if you are rooted as long as you have not modified any system files other than adding su and superuser.apk to get root..

Well, I let it update but of course it just booted into CWM instead of doing anything. I'm guessing I'd have to flash back to stock in order to apply any OTA. If someone tells me what to search for I can run logcat and see what it downloaded, but I didn't see anything obvious when I looked (and there's a lot of stuff in there).
I'm on froyo to and rooted but no clockwork mod recovery. I tried to check for an update and it said some kind of error i dont remember.

Check in the /cache directory for the zip file for tthe update. If you can, before you install it can you save a copy of the zip to a separate area on your sdcard and thn upload it to a file sharing site so others can download it? Once you install it, it gets deleted from the /cache directory but if you save it elsewhere those copies will be saved.

Yes, you need to be on stock recovery and your phone's system partition must be stock. LG stores some OTAs very differently than other vendors.
Do a backup of your phone first to preserve the OTA image. It might be in the cache but it might be elsewhere. If you wouldn't mind giving me a link to the system and cache images I can try to find the OTA and see what it is for.
I just got the 2.3.3 ota update about 2 weeks ago which i thought was real late also. I used to check for the update and i would always get an error too. i was rooted in stock froyo for tmobiles g2x (LG P999DW). I didnt have to re-root the phone and last night i just flashed clockworkmod recovery and flashed the 1.55ghz overclocking kernel on to the 2.3.3 that i got from the ota update.

Did you flash roms and then restore an old backup? That backup could have had the OTA on it and you did not notice it before. T-Mobile pulled the OTA months ago (was available less than two weeks). Doesn't seem likely it was pushed to you recently.

(SOLVED)[Q] how to tell if phone is already rooted.....

So I just picked up a skyrocket and I went to update OTA and it downloaded the update and when it went to restart to install the update the phone booted into clockwork. I wasnt able to find a thread for this specific device about it so I am asking here now. MOD if there is one please point me in the right direction. I did notice that there is no att bloatware on the device. Thanks.
Terminal editor, type su, press enter, see what happens.
Other clues: presence of Superuser app.
You have a custom recovery also which will need to be ODINed away.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, it does have superuser. As far as Terminal editor/ODINed i'll be honest I have no idea what you are talking about. First sammy device that I have had long enough to keep and want to keep. Use to HTC branded devices. But thank you I think it is rooted because of the superuser app.
Questions should be posted in Q&A. Moved.
Side note: I recommend you read a lot before you mess with it. Although this device seems to be very difficult to hardbrick misusing ODIN can lead to one.
Cheers
Go to market download root checker. Run it. If a super user prompt appears, that's a good sign.

Yes it does, superuser prompt comes up. I really would just rather have this back to completly stock running 2.3.6 until the 4.0 update rolls out. Not sure which is better. Rooted or unrooted????? Also am not sure if it has ODIN....I tried to boot into recovery to run ODIN3 and upgrade to 4.0.4 but when trying to power on into bootloader it just vibrates and will not boot until I release the volume up rocker. Other than curiosity the phone works and performs flawlessly. With superuser being installed and after installing titanium I am sure it is rooted. Still not sure what ODIN is (like I said used to the HTC branded phones and never cared about root) Thanks for all the information. Also I am not sure if I will be able to update to 4.0 when the OTA update rolls out, im not concerned about it being rooted or not (have not found a reason to have rooted yet). Anyone know if it can be updated OTA even though it has root?

You need stock recovery. You need to read the stickies for a few days before you do anything.

Restored from a backup on newly half-rooted Shift

I got into a tiffy...and Im in fear I may have bricked my phone with a boot loop.
Somehow my shift installled ROM manager in process. It is acting as if I am getting SU .. I had "temproot" though I guess i screwed it. I'm going to try to jump on a PC if I can to get this all running. We'll see (osx snow leopard here).
HBOOT screen:
Speedy XE SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.98.0001
RADIO-1.08.00.0506
eMMC-boot
My phone came with it like this. gahhh is this still true?
I cannot use the recovery either.
Help!
If your HBoot is 0.98.0001 with " S-On " your going to have to start the whole Root process over. Check THIS thread. Watch the Videos, and Read the Info. It's all fairly straight forward. The biggest thing is to take your time, and make sure you do the process correctly. I would suggest watching the Videos several times. Also reading the Instructions several times before you start.
Good News *
looks like I was able to make a Nandroid backup of an unrooted Shift I still have that was unrooted. After much trial and error I was able to Restore from a backup. However, the HBoot was HBOOT-0.93.0001 on the other model, the newer one is HBOOT-0.98.0001.
One problem, now the wifi does not work, probably due to the HBoot.
I think a previous user left ROM Manager on it which is how this all happened that a another user tried installing and made it all messed up, somehow CWM 5.8.1.6 was installed already. I was getting ready to install 5.0.2.0 onto it. Now I am trying to recover this persons errors. Funny.
Any of the obvious methods of running a "Back to Stock" routine or using RUU was not working whatsoever since the HBoot was different.
Basically troubleshooting at this point. No idea what to do. I am calling CREDO to see if they can help me update my radios but i am betting i'll probably just get another phone from them. This may be the end of my Shifting since i'll be upgrading to something in the next few months..hopefully htc will save me somewhere, but samsung may be where I land next.
LASTLY :: I found the RUU HERE..but it gave me the same error... "Customer ID Failed"
man.... what a pain in the arse. Guess I'll be getting another shifty from them soon, unless anyone else has any brighter ideas.
So are you saying the 2.2 RUU ran all the way through ? The "Customer ID Failed" is when you boot up ?

RUU ran through but stopped at customer ID, I tried running through bootloader, running the original back to stock 2.2 Froyo, and none of this is working. The phone came with Froyo 2.2. I also tried removing the boot.img from newSENSE in a zip and placed that on the SDCard during another reinstallation of the zip, and none of that seemed to work. I feel like I have tried virtually everyhting and nothing is seeming to work.
I think I am almost figuring out how to crack this new egg, but no idea what's up with it.
If you got it booted but wifi isn't working, that means in system/lib/modules the modules are not matching the boot.img and will throw a WiFi error everytime

Push either the modules folder from the ROM your on now, or reflash the boot.img again. It depends on where you are at now

Yeah you will need the modules from the boot.img your running. So say you were on newSense while being s-on unlocked and wifi was working, and then you decided you wanted to run a new kernel so you fastboot flash a new boot.img, well when you boot in, the modules in system/lib/modules won't match the new kernel your running, so you have to grab the modules folder from the kernel and push them one at a time to be sure they all go to the right place. I don't remember all the modules names by memory(just know where they are in a ROM and after a compile) but ill give an example command to push a module with an easy module name my simple mind can remember. So place the modules in your platform-tools folder, plug your phone in on charge only and open a terminal to cd to platform-tools then enter these commands*
adb remount
adb push tun.ko /system/lib/modules (tun.ko and cifs.ko are not used in every kerenel)
adb push *the rest of the modules* /system/lib/modules
adb reboot
We are trying to get you on the right page, but on the weekends I dedicate all my free time to my family, and don't mess with xda or anything untill Sundays

Modules are not pushed while in fastboot, their either pushed while running or in recovery

Yes, i ran it in recovery. it acted like it pushed, and probably did, but did not work. it is what it is :\
Basically it ended up being some weird halfroot that seemed it had no way on getting it to work . somehow the hardware was flashed earlier on before.
I had it and had the newer CWM, I wonder if that had anything to do with it.
Well, thanks all for the help!
best
