I just simply consolidated all the information into a single place with notes to make things easier to understand and execute. You are welcome to share this information anywhere you want. Please do credit me for writing it. Lastly, please link back to the original site if possible. I try to format the text in such a way that it is more easy to understand. Lastly, I ask that everyone who uses this pays it forward by helping others figure out their own phones. Now on to the procedure.
I am running Windows XP SP3/32bit.
= = =
Steps 1 and 2 can be skipped. You just need to download the latest version of the SBF file (currently 2.3.20). Link coming soon.
1. Download 2.3.20 SBF file for D2
You can find it here: http://www.iamthewalcs.com/Support-Files/Droid 2 2.3.2 SBF.zip
2. Extract the .zip file and put the .sbf file somewhere where you can easily find it.
3. Download RSD Lite 4.7. (RSD Lite 4.7 is not the same as RSD Lite 4.7.2)
[RSD Lite 4.9 works as well]
Reference: http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-2-how-tos/4393-how-sbf-flash-droid-2-a.html
RSD Lite 4.9 Here!
http://droid2files.com/tools/RSD Lite 4.9.zip
New: Download to RSDLite 4.7 with patch.
http://kimete.com/droid/RSDLite47patch.zip
There is a link to download RSD Lite 4.7 + patch here as well. Includes an installer (.msi) and the patch (.ini).
4. Install the program (rsdlite_4.7.msi) or RSDLite 4.9. Follow instructions until completion.
5. Next, extract the patch (pst_flash.ini) to the Motorola/RSD Lite folder. It'll ask you if you want to overwrite the file. Choose yes. (Don't think you need this for version 4.9, but don't quote me on that).
(My file path to place the file was: My Computer -> C Drive -> Program Files -> Motorola -> RSD Lite)
6. You'll need to have the Motorola Drivers. You probably already have them, but if you don't, you can get them here:
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
KalenXI noted that you can't use the same Motorola drivers that you used for root from the other thread. You must use these updated drivers with MotoConnect. Thank you sir!
7. Now would be a good time to back up anything on your SD card to your computer. Plug in your Droid2 to the computer via USB cable. Pull down the notification menu/blind, choose USB connection, and then choose USB Mass Storage Device. Now there should be a removable storage in your "My Computer." Go through your SD card and back up your important things. Probably the DCIM and download folder. You should also make sure that your phone is set up to "Back Up Data." Go to the system menu (the 4 squares icon/button in the lower left), choose Settings, then Privacy, then make sure the "Back up my data" and "Automatic restore" are checked.
8. You now need to put your phone in bootload mode. In order to do so, power down your phone. Slide open your keyboard, hold the "up" key (the arrow closest to the enter button), and power on your phone. You should come up with a black background and text with something along the line of d2.35 and usb okay.
9. Now you can open RSD Lite. Go to your Start Menu, Program Files, and you should see RSD Lite. In the title of the newly open window, make sure the version is 4.7.
Edit: If you opened RSDLite and your device is not showing, you might need to open it as an admin. Go to program files/motorola/rsdlite/sdl.exe, and right cllick and run as an administrator. Reference by JonandRoid. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8000565&postcount=12
10. Wait a few minutes until your device shows in the table. It should say A955, port 1, connected, etc.
11. Toward the top of the window, there is filename/blank field. To the right of it, there is "..." button. Click it. Now find your .sbf with the open window that popped up. Select "Droid2_X6_2.2...SECURE.sbf", or the latest version of your sbf, and press open. Back to the program window, press Start (right next to the "...") Your phone should now start flashing the firmware to the phone. Just let it run it's course. It's going to reboot and start up again. You'll know when it is done when the Progress field in the table of RSD Lite says complete. This may take a little bit. Maybe 5-10 minutes.
After your phone reboots and doesn't get past the boot animation (wait at least 5 or 10 minutes),
a. Turn off your phone
b. Hold down X on the keyboard
c. Turn on your phone while continuing to hold X
d. When you get the Android guy with a '!' in a triangle push the search button on the keyboard (the magnifying glass button, two keys to the left of the space bar)
e. Select both 'wipe cache' and 'wipe data' from the menu.
f. Reboot your phone
If you do steps a-f, you probably won't need to do these following steps.
12. I do not know if this will work or not, but if it does, you guys might not need to do the rest unless you truly do want to fully factory reset your phone. This step is UNCONFIRMED.
To get back onto the Verizon Wireless network, dial *22899 and press send. It should update your phone and you'll be back on the network. (Referenced from ITGuy11 at the link below.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7933189&postcount=12
13. Your phone still has everyone on it. You'll probably realize that you now have no 3G or phone service and are roaming. Now you need to Factory Reset your phone. Go to the system menu (the 4 squares icon/button in the lower left), choose Settings, then Privacy, the choose Factory Data Reset. Follow the instructions and agreeing to wipe your phone clean. It will ask you to confirm, and/or ask you to enter your security pin/security pattern. It'll reboot itself and run its course.
14. Your phone will eventually be put back to factory settings. You'll then be greeted by the new user/account wizard. Follow the directions. They'll ask you to program/update your phone, enter in some login info, and then your phone will be back to brand new, just like the day you walked out of the Verizon store, except with the BackUp Manager service, all your applications and contacts will be downloaded back onto the phone!
That's it! That wasn't so bad was it?!

This is awesome, thank you. This tutorial and your rooting instructions (with all of the extra clarification) are very helpful. I know it's not much but I am going to try to send a few bucks your way (from one poor college student to another? ).
USB debugging should also be enabled. It's found in the Settings -> Applications -> Development.

I had that same error, upgrading to the latest Motorola drivers fixed it. I'd post a link but the forums won't let me so just search for "motorola drivers" on google, go to the first link, go to "USB Drivers and PC Charging Drivers" and download the "Motorola 4.6.5 Driver with MotoConnect" drivers.

That makes sense. I got my drivers from when I installed Easy Tether. Driver files were on the phone. That's probably why it worked. So, solution to the problem is downloade the latest drivers!
I think a youtube video of this is possible. Would people be interested in that?

Thanks! What is everyone's experiences with this tutorial? I want to make sure that it makes sense and is complete. I wrote it from memory after flashing my phone.

Do you have updated drivers? Don't quote me on this, but maybe flash one file and then flash the other?
That's what I did, I flashed the other file (successfully) and rooted. Didn't bother factory resetting or anything.

How exactly do you download the device drivers? Ive tried a million times and the link given on the motorola website just keeps giving me zipped up documents. Really starting to piss me off.

You are moving in the right direction. Inside the zipped file, there is the install file, .msi, I believe, that you double click to install your drivers and MotoConnect.
First of all I noticed there is not an individual post that gives the entire root process for those that have never used ADB and probably don't have the SDK installed. In other words people that have never rooted a phone before and didn't think they ever would because they think it looks SUPER complicated.
There are several tutorial threads on this subject but I can guarantee that these are the most simple and detailed, START to FINISH, instructions regarding the root process of a HTC EVO Shift that you will find on the web. My information is compiled together from numerous sources and my own personal experience to give less confident people what they need in order to root their phone and remain at ease.
RED-REALLY IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT YOU NEED TO READ
BLUE-Notes from my experience and further explanations
Purple-File names color coded for easy identification
NOTE: I'm not responsible if you mess up your phone, however this process worked perfectly for me and it is pretty hard these days to brick your phone unless your trying.
Rooting Process
1. First, on your computer download the program "SDK" from Here. Download the file called "installer_r10-windows.exe". Install it. When prompted for the install path paste "C:\AndroidSDK" over the default path. Once finished, open it from the Start Menu. It should be right on your "C:\" drive. Now, select "Install Packages" and make sure you install "Android SKD Platform-Tools". Once finished, close out of Android SKD and AVD Manager.
2. ONLY FOLLOW THIS STEP IF PROBLEMS INVOLVING LOADING SDK OCCURS. Next, Go to the start menu and right click on "My Computer". Select "Properties", then select "Advanced"/"Advanced System Settings", then "Environment Variables", now go to the lower box (system variables) and select "path" then "Edit". Paste the following as your path "C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools", then select OK. This seems to have fixed most peoples problems.
3. Now, on your phone, press "Menu", then "Settings", then "Applications", then "Development". Check the box that says "USB Debugging" and press "OK" when the confirmation box appears.
4. Now, install HTC SYNC. There should be a folder on your SD card that came with the phone that has a HTC SYNC Setup in it. Just drag this to your desktop and run it. Otherwise download HTCSync. After installation, plug your phone into the computer and select "Disk drive" on your phones prompted menu.
5. Next, download the VISIONary app from Here and save it on your desktop. Once downloaded, Copy "com.modaco.visionaryplus.r14.apk" and Paste it to the SD Card root. Or in other words, drop the file in the first folder of the SD card on your phone.
6. Next, switch your phone's connection status back to "Charge Only". Use any file manager (free from the android marketplace "ES File Explorer") to install the VISIONary app on your phone. On your phone just find the visionary installer in the file manager and click to install. (Icon should look like a caution sign). Once complete, open VISIONary on your phone and click "Temproot Now". Wait for the rooting process to take place. Shouldn't take long at all. At this point your phone is rooted. However, you may noticed that your phone is running slower than normal. Go back into VISIONary and put a check next to the box that says "temp root on boot". Now power off your phone and then turn back on. This will root your phone before background apps are running, thus making it much faster.
7. Next, Download the root file Here. Once installed, connect your phone to your computer as a disk drive and right click on the "shift-root.zip", select extract here, then use browse to locate your phone, more specifically the root of your SD card. If you are having trouble extracting, download 7-Zip. Now change your connection type back to "Charge only" again.
8. Next, Open the command prompt (Start > Run > type "cmd") and paste the following...
Code:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
Hit enter, and type the following...
Code:
adb
If adb runs you're golden. Type this...
Code:
adb shell
Hit enter, you will see this...
Code:
$
Now type...
Code:
su
Hit enter... Now switch back to your phone. Superuser (an automatically installed program) will prompt you to "Allow" on your phone. Click it quickly to allow permissions! Now you will see this in the command prompt...
Code:
#
You have root permissions. If you didn't click allow fast enough just retype "su" and click enter again.
9. Next you have to Verify md5sum. Basically just make sure you copy and paste this EXACTLY...
Code:
md5sum /sdcard/Shift/hboot_orig.bin
Then hit enter.Your result should look like this...
Code:
386c19451e8dd18f9b98fad6b11be4c0 hboot_orig.bin
Make sure the numbers match. You may have some extra path in front of hboot_orig.bin.
If a message saying that the md5sum is not found, paste this code before verifying the md5sum. If it worked in the first place then ignore all this red...
Code:
busybox md5sum /sdcard/Shift/hboot_eng.nb0
It should work now...
Next copy and paste this exactly...
Code:
md5sum /sdcard/Shift/hboot_eng.nb0
Then hit enter.Your result should look like this...
Code:
60ec1006e6ec2e8acb370d6aad35b17e hboot_eng.nb0
Make sure the numbers match. You may have some extra path in front of hboot_eng.nbo. If these do not match do not proceed. Delete the "shift-root.zip" file on your sd card and redownload.
10. Now we're going to flash the "eng spl." This is where the unpleasant things can happen. Make sure you are in "adb shell" with superuser root permission (Granted a "#" symbol). This was explained in Step 8. If you are not in "adb shell" with root permissions (Granted a "#" symbol) then DO NOT proceed.
Now DO NOT REBOOT until you are instructed to do so!!! In the command prompt, paste this EXACTLY...
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/Shift/hboot_eng.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Hit enter. You have flashed the "eng spl." Now we need to make sure it flashed properly.
11. Run this command to pull the newly flashed "hboot" to your sdcard. Copy and paste this EXACTLY...
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/Shift/hboot_check.nb0
Hit enter. Next you need to check the "md5" to see if it matches. In the command prompt, Copy and paste this EXACTLY...
Code:
md5sum /sdcard/Shift/hboot_check.nb0
Hit enter. It should read...
Code:
60ec1006e6ec2e8acb370d6aad35b17e
if the "md5sum" matches then congratulations its safe to reboot!! you can skip the next bit and continue on to step 12.
If you absolutely cannot get the eng hboot to flash right then copy and paste this into the command prompt...
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/Shift/hboot_orig.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
Hit enter. Then pull it to check "md5". Copy and paste this exactly...
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/Shift/hboot_check1.bin
Hit enter. Then check the "md5sum" by copying and Pasting this exactly...
Code:
md5sum /sdcard/Shift/hboot_check1.bin
Hit enter. It should read...
Code:
386c19451e8dd18f9b98fad6b11be4c0
If it doesn't, keep trying the previous 2 codes until it does but DO NOT!! reboot till it matches.
12. Now we can Perm root!!! First you need to reboot your phone into "bootloader". Do this by turning off phone and hold (power + volume down) till it boots into bootloader. Look at the top and make sure it says "s" off. If so, reboot the phone back into android by turning off and then back on.
13. Next Put the phone into airplane mode (hold down power and then click "airplane mode"). Go to setting, applications, manage applications and uninstall superuser.
14. Next, temp root with visionary. After you are temp rooted then attempt to perm root with visionary. Your phone will reboot and you are now officially perm rooted any changes you make will now stick on reboot. If it didn't stick, try doing steps 13 and 14 again.
YOUR PERMROOTED
Simplified Backup (with WiMax Backup!)
1. Find "ROM Manager" in the Market (free or paid) and install the app.
2. Open it and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery".
3. Click on "HTC Evo Shift 4G" and then give the app root permission if it prompts you.
4. Once the flash is successful, you should see a dialog box that says "Successfully flashed ClockworkMod recovery!"
5. Press OK.ClockworkMod should now be installed on the HTC Evo Shift 4G.
6. Before you backup your phone, open the ROM Manager application and select "All Clockwork Recoveries".
7. Select the most recent version, currently it is v.3.0.1.4 (If you already have the most current version skip to step 6)
8. Press OK.
9. Your phone will flash the most current recovery image.
10. Now once your phone finished, open ROM Manager and select "Backup Current ROM".
11. Press OK.
12. Your phone will begin the backup process, including backup of your WiMax Partition.
13. Once finished your phone will restart. DONE! A backup is now on your memory card.
UnRooting
1. Be sure HTC Sync is installed on your computer. (Link to download near top of first post)
2. Download the sprint RUU Download.
3. Plug your phone in to your PC, select "charge only", then run the RUU File

I understand there are already guides but they are not necessarily for people that have never rooted a phone before... And that is what this guide is for.
Other guides assume people have all the required software preinstalled and that they know what the guide is referring to when it says to "flash" certain things. They also assume people know how to Temp root using VISIONary and how to check the md5sum. This is for people that have done absolutely nothing to an android phone before and have no clue what the other guides are even talking about.
And yes I understand there are simplified guides that involve individual steps but this is a BEGINNING to END guide for Dummies so there is no need to jump across multiple threads.

The process in the first Perm Root guide seems simple now, but when I was first looking at the guide it was a foreign language. Did my research by looking through about 6-7 other threads and finally had some idea as to what it was talking about.
Completed a successful root on my own phone and made the first draft of this tutorial along the way. More and more info has been added to this guide as I learn more and more. Now its about a month later and I've learned quite a bit about my phone and whole rooting process in general. I've once again updated the guide to make it as simple as possible with my newly acquired knowledge. This guide has over 2500 views on another thread I initially posted and numerous people have used it to root their phone so I figured I'd post it up here as well in order to help more people.
Nice A-Z guide. When I rooted mine a month ago, I needed to get info from 2 or 3 threads and tie missing pieces together. This ends that. It is a great start to finish guide. The other ones assume that you have done this before or only provide half of the entire solution needed to get everything done.
Only suggestion, clockwordmod backs up wimax after a particular version, you may want to state that as a disclaimer...else someone may grab an old version, assume they are fine, and will/could be screwed...

I initially posted it on androidforums.com
Similar, but I went one step further than Brando and explained every process in detail. For instance, rather than saying "setup adb" and "temproot your phone using visionary" I explained the process. I know that I myself looked up how to setup adb and temp root my phone when I got to those steps. Figured I'd put everything in one thread to make it easier for people that have never touched an android before.

Small complaint, but kinda a big deal. You need to make sure to actually list your sources especially when you're taking directions word for word out of other threads. You must give credit where credit is due. That said, it is a great writeup, though a bit overwhelming. I wrote a guide that looks very similar to this at SDX: http://forum.sdx-developers.com/evo-shift-development/(guide)-root/
Not quite as detailed as yours, but informative nonetheless. Overall, great work, just site your sources in the OP and you'll be good to go.

My sources are, and always have been, at the bottom of my post...?
And basically everything has been changed rather than just taken word for word due to the fact that I wanted it to be as understandable as possible. Most of it I wrote myself using other guides as a framework but the steps are all the same...
Sorry about that. I read through the whole thing but totally missed it. I apologize profusely for missing that and the post that resulted from it. I guess I'm just used to seeing credits at the top. Again, my bad, I'll be more careful in posting criticisms in the future.
Lol. No hard feelings. I was just really confused.
Thank you !!!! Im a dummy and this helps alot!! I thought my phone wasnt getting temp root because it was running so slow using visionary,and now i know why!!!!

I get the message of the JDK is not found. I have installed/reinstalled 3 times with only the same results.
Steps 3-7 went through without any problems at all.
Any thoughts?
Your going to need to install the Java Developement Kit (JDK) in order for the android SDK to be able to install.
Download
It will prompt you to register it and make a Oracle account after it installs.
It should have prompted you to download the JDK during the SDK install if you don't have it on your computer already?

I assumed that it would have been, but it wasnt. I've done it a couple of times already, but was not successful. Even after it was registered. It still keeps telling me that I need to install the JDK as it was not found.
OK, I've read a lot of comments about people having trouble installing MoDaCo clockworkmod, or even turning their devices S-off. But my guide is going to go step though step of how to turn your device into a lean, mean killing machine. It took me days to accomplish this when i first got my device, hopefully this will take you under 30 minutes! I'm a junior member, i know, so cut me some slack, PLEASE.
WARNING AND DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK, EVEN IF IT FALLS APART IN YOUR HAND, OR BECOMES GODLY FAST!
1. The first thing we need to do is turn S-OFF for your mytouch 4g slide. It is probably the easiest thing to do, other then installing a rom on your device.
a. You will need to download the usb drivers for your phone, DON'T SKIP THIS STEP, or you'll wonder why your phone isn't discovered by the software. You can find those drivers at this website right here:
http://www.htc.com/managed-assets/support/software/htc-sync/setup_3.0.5579.exe
After you have that software installed, plug in your phone, and give it a couple minutes to install all the correct drivers for your device, then make sure you go to the bottom right of the computer and exit out of that software, it can't be running when your trying to S-OFF your device. Now I dont think you have to have the fastboot drivers installed either, but why not, lets go ahead and download those files and get those installed too.
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe
After you have those installed, its now time to move on.
b. Now thanks to unrevoked and AlphaRev and their team, you will go to their site at http://revolutionary.io/ and you will scroll down and click on Download for Windows (If you can take everything I'm saying and do the linux version, right on!) at that moment a download box will appear, but do not download those files, download the files from this website http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BP2E3ZQ3 .But you will need to enter some information in the box below after you click on windows download, just remember, you don't need those files. Your operating system, device, HBOOT version, and serial number. Your HBOOT version can be found by taking your device, going to apps, settings, power, and uncheck fast boot, then power it off, i always power it off and then pull the battery out, makes me feel safer...and soon as its off, holding the volume down button, camera button, and power button all at the same time. You'll then see a screen with the android bots on the bottom are rolling on skateboards. At the top should be your HBOOT version, and there is only one option on the site, so hopefully your in luck! For your serial number,take the battery out from this screen, don't push any buttons, and on the sticker under the battery, your serial number will be there starting with HT--- or power your device back on, then go to apps, settings, about phone, phone identity, and wala, your device serial number. After you enter all that information into the site, it will generate you a beta key, YOU NEED THAT IN ORDER TO S-OFF AND ROOT YOUR DEVICE!! So write it down somewhere, copy and paste in word, do what you do
c. Now we have everything downloaded, we have our beta key, its time to get to work!
d. The file you downloaded from megaupload, "MT4GS-ADB-WINDOWS" you need to extract that file into a folder on your desktop. Make sure you open the folder mt4gs-adb, and extract the files out of the folder, so you should have 12 items in your folder on the desktop, not just a folder in a folder! I created a folder called "root mt4gs". You want all the files in one location. After there all extracted, open your folder on the desktop. On your phone, go to apps, settings, applications, development, and click on usb debugging and make sure the check mark is blue on the right. Now plug your phone into the computer.
Now in your "root mt4gs" folder, double click on revolutionary. At that moment it should ask you for that beta key i told you to save. Go ahead and enter that now (its case sensitive). Let the software run for a couple minutes....
Now after it says S-Off, your halfway there!! Your HBOOT will now say 1.44.1107. That way you know its done! It will ask you to install clockwork recovery mod, say NOOOO, it has hella problems. It gave me problems when i said yes the first time, i'll show you another way.
e. At this moment, we're going to install clockwork recovery v4.0.0.9, thanks to Paul O'Brien/MoDaCo, the gods lol. First, turn your device off/pull the battery out, thats what i do. Then hold volume down button, camera button, and power button at the same time. It should show you the skateboarding androids, and at the top it should say -Revolutionary- in purple. If it doesn't, don't continue, retry all steps or message me. Then plug your phone into the computer, and using the power button as the selection button, push the power button as your highlighted over FASTBOOT. It should say FASTBOOT USB at the top in red now.
Now believe it or not you already have the file you need in your "root mt4gs" folder. Your now going highlight all the files in your "root mt4gs" folder to the root of your hard drive. Click on My computer, double click on your c: drive, and paste those files right on there, do not copy the folder, or put these files in a folder!! Now your going open a command prompt. {Hold the windows key and tap r}. Then type "cmd" without the parenthesis and it should open up a black box.
Now type cd\
Your command prompt should now just say c:\> thats what you want it to say
Now your going to type adb.exe
You should see a whole bunch of words flash on the command prompt, the last couple words should say "bug tags are printed." That means your right on track.
From here, you are going to type in fastboot devices
it should have the serial number of your device and the word fastboot right next to it!
Now, here comes the tricky part that i got stuck at, but i know you can do it! Now this will work if you put the files exactly where i told you to put them. you now will type fastboot flash recovery c:\clockworkmod.4.0.0.9.img
it should say " sending 'recovery'
okay
writing recovery'
okay
finished. total time: (mine is 10.400s)
Now to make sure it's intalled, on your phone, click power button and you should now see fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock, and imagecrc as options, use your volume button to go down to recovery, and click power button.
You should now see clockworkmod recovery 4.0.0.9.
f. Now lets put superuser on your device so you can be free!
click on this file and download it, DO NOT EXTRACT IT
http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
Now after you have downoaded that file, on your phone, use your trackpad, and scroll down to "mounts and storage"
then scroll down to mount usb storage. now you should be able to put files on your sd card, make sure you put it on the root of your sd card, not in a folder, it doesn't matter, but i prefer it!.
Now unmount on your phone by clicking the option, click go back, and then scroll down to "install zip from sdcard" and click on it, then click "choose zip from sdcard". Find that file we just put on there "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip", and click on it, then click yes. Now click on go back, and click reboot system now!
Now if you want to stay stock, your done, your rooted, so now just install root checker, and busybox, and your good to go, if you want to do some roms, keep on reading.
Now you cross your fingers, and grab a soda, because we're 75% done!
g. Now is the easy part, all you do now is download the roms from other developers, copy them to your sdcard, then turn off the phone, hold volume down, camera and power button, go into recovery with using vol up and down buttons as the selector, and the power button to confirm your option. As you enter clockwork mod, you can then go follow the directions of the developer as to wipe certain sections, and how to install there roms/patches. YOUR DONE
If you have any questions, please let me know, also I didn't make ANY of this software, this guide just has every link to get you everything you need at one spot. I also have the original file to make your phone completely stock, so if you need that, let me know and I'll upload that and send the link out.
If you want to donate to me, donate to all the other og's first!

Now this is how you give a tutorial!!! If i had some extra cash i would totally donate bro! I was trying to install 4.0.0.9 for two days from the dude that made its site and his directions were not thorough enough. Thanks dude.
Oh dude no worries, a thanks is just as good. I appreciate it, it took me days, so I'm happy I could help brotha!

Ok let's figure this out.. on step f, you did unmount your sd card, right? I haven't dealt with this problem before so if I ask a stupid question, I'm just trying to solve this. Also you don't need to wipe anything to install superuser, so that could be the problem also, so reboot ur fone, and let's try step f again! Keep me updated please!

It took a lot of us several attempts to flash the superuser zip. The 4.0.0.8 recovery isn't the greatest. Keep trying until it installs and you get root. Then upgrade to the modaco 4.0.0.9 recovery right away. It's not perfect either but it fixes a LOT of the issues known with 4.0.0.8.
And a comment to the OP, this is an incredibly helpful walkthrough! If only people would actually search and find this before posting new threads like "how do i root" and all that crap.
Thank you.
Great job on this and thanks for your work. I wish I would have had this tutorial when I did mine.

An app to reboot from? Not understanding the question throughly... In this cwm, it has the option to reboot system as every other cwm that I've used has. But an app... I do not have an app though...hope I answered your question!

OK ill reexplain is there an icon in the apps drawer for CWM to select to reboot etc. because it didnt install one on the MT4Gslide as on my MT4G.
I know something is goofy as SU wouldnt flash, I had to install the new version from the market.

Oh, now i understand. No there isn't. I don't have one at all, as soon as I installed clockworkrecovery, and superuser, I flashed undeads rom on there. And I've been reading that superuser is being buggy when installing it on this phone through cwm...I'll look into that tonight, see if i can find the root cause.
Thanks...This is my wifes phone, she just upgraded from a CLIQ (one of the two people that loved blur)she likes my MT4G and wanted a KBD so here we are....
I want to change the lock ring so need root for the wonderful majic you dev's do....

You probably just have to download ROM Manager from the market, I think that's what you're referring to. There isn't a whole lot of support for our device in ROM manager right now, however, and I haven't checked to see if the "reboot into recovery" works. Go into settings > power > and uncheck fastboot. Then, shut down your phone, wait 10 seconds, hold down the volume down button and turn your phone back on. That'll get you into recovery. Did you get superuser to install? Are you rooted?
Mine won't switch from "revolutionary" in purple at the top to "fastboot" at the top.
It says fastboot USB about 6 lines down, but that's it.
When I type "fastboot devices" it errors and says:
'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
anyone know what's up?
I installed the Sensation XE HD ROM with no problem and it seem to work well. But I've been trying to install the recommended radio and can't get to first base. The instructions say to click "start Here" and I assume that is supposed to be after you have started HTC Sync. The problem is when I start HTC Sync there is no "Start Here" box to type in. The first HTC screen looks like this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=751753&stc=1&d=1318791953
The second screen looks like this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=751754&stc=1&d=1318791953
If I click on "Device setup" I can enter the "adb reboot bootloader" command:http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=751755&stc=1&d=1318792639
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I've read these forums until I'm half blind, deleted and reinstalled HTC sync, and I deleted and reinstall the adb tools.
HTC sync recognizes my phone, and it shows up in windows device manager. So now I'm at my wits end. I'm a rank novice with the android phone so I'm sure I'm missing something and would really appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction.
The second screen after entering the above command is a dead end

Hi,
Yes ,you do seem to be a bit confused.
When you plug in your phone into the USB,press charge mode.
Then click start here and it will open up a command prompt window.
Copy the commands,and right click on the top edge of the command prompt window,and you can edit ,then paste.
Follow on screen instructions carefully,and you should be fine.
Must have SDK installed to use adb. Or you can download the PGI5800 file, turn fast boot off in settings/power and then power down device. After which hold volume rocker down and power button. A prompt should pop up asking to accept PGxxx file and press volume up or down to accept. Once its done it will have flashed new radio.
Remove the file from sd card, or it will try to flash that every time and you won't make it into recovery.
Sorry about the vague file descriptions. Been awhile since I flashed radio but the steps are correct. Let Me know if this has helped. Thanks button
Make sure the radio downloaded. Downloads as PGI5800.zip Or something like that. Not a .tar file or something.

I have sdk installed, adb is active, and the PG58img.zip is on the SD card. The instructions for installing the new radio say not to flash it using recovery.
As you can tell I'm very new at this Android business. I'm fairly good with computers, but this is new territory for me.
I just rooted my sensation last night. had it since the day it came out and am not new to rooting. rooted the first mytouch and nexus one.
the file you are looking for is within the zip file that contained the radio. you have to extract that zip radio file and then you will see the start here file. when you open it and your phone is connected a window will open up then follow the rest of the directions to input the information.
You don't need htc sync in order to update the radio.

Just try it it works, if not then your in the sane spot your in now. I was having the same issues you are. And I got into it with a couple of senior members. But someone came along and gave me that info and it worked like a charm
Where should the file be extracted to? The phone or the computer?

Hi,
Use winrar or 7zip to extract the zip to your pc/ laptop desktop.
You will then see a read me text.
Read it.
Plug in your USB , press charge, then start here on your desktop.
Follow the onscreen instructions.
OK, thanks I finally got it to work. I appreciate the help.
OM freaking Lord, you have NO idea how much you just helped me!!! Your short, clear instructions saved lamer noob me from 2 days in a mud hut by the river Styxx.
I had almost given up on ever flashing the radio, I flashed wiped & s-off everything with ease to get Mikes great Revolution ROM, but this last tiny step became a real torment. hope the radio improve my simple mobile(T-mobile bases) hspda, its never been fast enough for streaming video, but at least I got the radio flashed!
instead of going through that 10 step process could have downloaded the radio extract the the radio.img
and boot into fastboot then use the
fastboot flash radio
and done! lol but everyone to there own
Righto. Before we go any further, jsut to say I am a relatively experienced rooter of Android handsets. Not tabs, granted, but handsets. Last night I rooted my TF and flashed Megatron and recommended kernel, no problem. I've had no problem taking nandroid backups or restoring as I've done that several times today, all with expected results.
Then I opened ROM Manager and allowed the app to update, I guess updating CWM too.
I then fiddled with SetCPU overclocking the CPU. This caused the tab to stutter a bit. Then freeze. Anyway, I hard rebooted and went into recovery to try and flash the backup I took about an hour ago. Now, CWM looks different (I guess this is where ROM Manager updated). I flashed the backup which seemed to go ok, but then when the TF rebooted I got an Android message saying that encryption hadn't worked properly, and that I would need to do a full (factory) reset. I hit ok and let it do it's think. The TF rebooted, but went direct into Recovery.
I tried wiping everything using Factory Reset, and wiping Dalvik, etc, but every time I tried I got a message saying "E: Can't mount /sdcard/" and then it reverted back to the main menu structure. Even when I choose "Install zip from sdcard" > "choose zip from sdcard" I just get a message up saying "E: Can't mount /sdcard/" and that's all she wrote. I think a) ROM Manager may have caused this and b) it's royally wrecked.
I did find teh following in a TF guide regarding cold booting:
-Quote-
11. Now do a Cold Boot (aka Hard Reset). This cleans system caches, but does not delete any user data.
Unplug the power cord and shut the unit off. Press and hold the VOL DOWN and then POWER button at the same time for at least 10-12 seconds until after the start-up screen appears and is joined by some small print at the top of the screen, then let them both go. If the TF booted the way it always does, you have not accomplished the task, try again until you have seen the 2 icons in the screen.
After a few seconds you should see a couple of icons in the middle of the screen called "Wipe Data" and "Android". The right "Android" will have a green highlight fading in and out. Wait a few more seconds until the term "Cold Booting Linux" appears in the list near the top of the screens and let it reboot. If you own a keyboard dock be sure you do this with the dock connected.
This process applies to all TF models, however, if your Prime or tf300 is locked up, there is a reset available using the hole just below the microSD slot, this is NOT the same as a hard reset.
12. Finally, restore your photos, docs etc & reinstall your apps from the backups, one group at a time & cold boot between each group that you restore. (Unless you are resetting because of system instability. In which case, read the next section, first.)
-Unquote-
I tried doing this but the TF froze at the point where the unit says "Cold-booting Linux". I left it for a good 30 minutes but no joy...
The other issue I have is that even when I attach my TF to my PC the PC doesn't recignise the unit. It knows I'm trying to attach something but it doesn't know what. Therefore I don't think I can flash anything like a new CWM version or kernel if the PC doesn't know where or what to flash to...?
I'd love to hear anyone's thoughts on this one...
Thanks in advance!
"Then I opened ROM Manager and allowed the app to update, I guess updating CWM too." - Never use ROM manager on the TF, it causes extensive problems. There is a warning thread about this in General.
You'll want to try running Roach2010's fix, either via my PERI tool (in my sig) or by manually typing the commands.
Lifesaver! One problem - when I plug my TF into my PC using the USB cable it doesn't recognise it. Won't this be a problem?

Alright you're going to want to download this while you read -- http://xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Asus/Asus+Transformer+(TF101)/STOCK+ROMS/ICS+.24
Quick guide:
1. Connect cable to computer and turn device on while holding down Volume Up. Screen will stay off, but USB will come on.
2. Find “APX” device in Device manager and update driver, then point it at usbpcdriver directory from the zip.
3. Run download.bat.
In the link below a driver package is also included, you need to either...
Code:
Open the Start Menu, type 'cmd' and hit enter, then type:
pnputil -a C:\path\to\driver folder\NvidiaUsb.inf file
exit
Then plug in the TF in APX mode and windows will find drivers automatically
Or you right click computer and hit 'Manage' and then hit 'Device Manager', find the ? entry that says APX and right click and hit 'update driver', then navigate to the folder.
Download the unbrick .zip from here: http://xdafileserver.nl/index.php?dir=Asus/Asus+Transformer+(TF101)/STOCK+ROMS/ICS+.24
(Before each file are 2 letters, (US, WW, CN, TW...) pick the one that is your Region. I'm assuming you need WW, which stands for World Wide, but if you reside in Taiwan take TW, China take CN and America take US.
Also download Wheelie NvFlash from here: http://androidroot.mobi/2012/05/31/wheelie-for-windows-beta/
Extract it, and copy the Contents of the folder into the Unbrick .zip folder's contents main folder, Overwrite any files that conflict.
Then you should be able to run Reflash_Sbkv#.bat to unbrick your TF in APX mode that is connected, try Sbkv2 first, then if you get access denied try Sbkv1.
Hope you're sorted out!
