[Q] Shift Root files - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am good at evo, 3d and design. The shift is making me crazy. My wife has one and she is finaly willing to let me root it. Problem is that all the files I need are not found when i click on the link. Does any one have them. It is running 2.3 I got the other three evos down pat if you need anything for those.

Which files do you need?

Recovery img file and root zip

Here's the Shift root zip http://db.tt/0XVvO0Kv and you can use ROM manager to flash clockworkmod or look in the development section for twrp recovery. The link for recovery in the original how to thread is extremely outdated.

I figured about cwm but thanks for that file it was driving me nuts.

Clockwork won't stick, any ideas?

So I'm on 2.3.5 and I rooted using (one click root) method and everything is cool but I find myself having to flash clockwork every time via rom manager, is there any way to make it stick?

Two recoveries?

After downloading the newest ROM manager from the market, it now looks like I have two recoveries installed. If I boot into recovery from ROM Manager, I get the new blue one (with int SD support). But if I boot from the power menu, I get the old one. Something tells me I screwed something up, and I'm not touching anything until somebody tells me how this is even possible. WTF did I do?

No problem there. ROM manager is only updated false flash rom. Old one is the nvflashed real one.

Ah. So is it safe to flash from either one? Having access to the internal SD would be a lot more convenient.
Also, is there a thread somewhere pertaining to this situation?

There is an even better scenario...download the utility by tgagunmann in the development section, and flash the latest cwm, which allows both internal and external from boot recovery.

Thanks for the assist, gents.

Remove CWM. Possibility?

Okay so my friend flashed cwm through rom manager on his SGS 4G before realizing it wasn't the correct way to get cwm. Is there any way he could remove the bad cwm so we can replace it with the correct cwm? Even if we have to completely wipe the phone to do so that's fine, I just don't know how. A guide or link would be great! Thanks!

Tell him to get astro or another file manager and find something called update.zip, delete it, them install the right one. For the sgs4g just search the development forum for CWM FINAL. Hoped i helped.
Thank you that is exactly what I needed!

I ran across one like that and I simply flashed Revolutionary and that took care of the problem.

nope. use fastboot to flash recovery. nexus s hacks has links to everything you need. (USB & fastboot drivers, recovery img files, and su zip files)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
replace the recovery.img with the actual filename of your recovery IMG file, then place the su zip on the root of your SD card & flash through recovery. I use cwm, but there are others available.
