Evo Shift root

I just have a quick question thats holding me back from rooting my shift. IF i do it will it erase my flash that i have for cricket?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you

I believe if your flashed to Cricket your already rooted. Easy way to check, is to power down the phone. Hold Down the Volume Button, then press the Power Button. You should boot into a white screen. At the Top it will either say S-On ( NOT Rooted ), or S-Off ( Rooted ) .

it says speedy xe ship s-on

If it says S-On then your Not Rooted. From the reading I've been doing, it leads me to believe that rooting it should not affect that your flashed to a different carrier. But I would still do more research on the subject before jumping in.

You put the zip anywhere on your SD card. Don't unzip it. Then you flash the zip through recovery. Partitioning your card is not a must unless you plan to download a lot of apps and are low on internal memory

I firgured it out i started off with cm7 since that was alwuays my favorite. It was ok. Then i used 2 different miui s and i didnt like the fact that i couldnt remove home screen icons. So now im using supreme sense and absolutely love it but.thank you guys for the help i thanked you guys as many times as i could. Idk if theres a limit

Glad you got it sorted out . If you go into Tweaks in settings or the app drawer there are a bunch of customizing Tweaks that are built in .

Flash splash screen

Ok, I've been trying to replace my splash screen with something dope but when I try to flash PGO6IMG.zip I'm not getting the update option from bootloader, wtfff! Somebody helllpppp!

Backup your SD Card to your PC. Then reformat your SD Card. Transfer your stuff back onto your SD Card. Then flash the PGO6IMG.zip in Bootloader.

Thank u! If I reformat do I have to repartition as well?
Let Me Put My Shift In U

Yes you have to repartition also.

Thank u for da info, but it did not work. Is there anyway to replace the file via root explorer? I just don't know where the file is.

You can give this EZ Splash Screen Flasher and Image Converter tool. You can also check THIS thread out.

Does anyone have a working mirror for the RUU for 2.2.2?

I've been scouring the internet for a working or non filefactory link of the RUU for a while now with absolutely no luck. I keep finding broken multiupload links or the aforementioned filefactory, which apparently never has an open download slot.
I'm unfortunate in having no ability to get my SDCard to recognize PG06IMG.zip while I attempt to root. So please if you have it, save me from my torture.

Phone won't boot after rom flash?

I got my one x last week and rooted it a few days ago via the all in one method found here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426 ) and everything worked including superuser. After a few days of use I decided to try the icecoldjelly aokp rom found here ( http://onexroot.com/one-x-roms/icecoldjelly-aokp-rom-for-rooted-one-x-android-4-1-2/ ). The rom flash said successfull and so did the gaps zip. Then when I pressed reboot the phone never cam back on. I tired living it charging overnight in case it lost charge (even though it showed almost full before I flashed). I'm not sure but I think I may be out luck?
Is there anything I can try to get this thing to boot up?

You flashed an international ROM, you now probably have an expensive paperweight. Sorry, please read the stickies next time
You may be able to dd a partition 4 to your phone if someone dumps one for you, and if you know how/someone is willing to help.
First go try this http://unlimited.io./qhsusbdload.htm

I hate seeing all these hard bricked phones I'm sorry but yeah u shoulda read:/

They are already bricked so it won't hurt any more than it is right now
If I can fix this guy's phone, then i'll consider starting a tutorial.

Right now we are trying to time it right and get his phone into emmc mode.. one that's done, I think we should have this problem fixed.
Windows recognizes it as QHSUSB_DLOAD (so its still alive), but when he holds down power, no lights flash, making this hard to time

Is your mmcblk0p4 from 2.20? I don't know if that would matter.
I think it's because we are using Ubuntu 12.10 and not 12.04, will report back eventually..

12.10 is not happening, if it's successful on 12.04, even just the unbrick method, I'm not concerned about the downgrade anymore, this could be good news for our little international rom lovers
Will try 12.04 sometime today

sorry i was out...no partition is from 1.85 or maybe even 1.73 don't remember,
any luck ?? have you tried to talk to beaups or 18th.abn ?

Unbricking has been a real pain in the butt using ubuntu, we found it to much easier and more successful using tinycore from a bootable USB. I don't know why, but it's been proven on several devices so try that. Also, p4 holds the device imei and cid, when it gets corrupted in may be causing the soft brick because p12 is dependent on its information since it also displays the device imei and phone info, so do p12, make sure your using a signed image and do p4, which can be any p4, the imei will just have to be repaired afterward. It will spring to life, I promise you

@crappy, nah we had to stop for the night cause I had to get up early and get senior pictures taken.
I had him install Ubuntu 12.04 rather than use a LiveCD, so we'll try it again later today.
@18th
We got to the point where it starts writing p4, but hangs and continuously sends the Reset, I posted in the thread over at the evo LTE forum asking about it, holding the power button for 30+ seconds as suggested prints an error cannot reset device
I am using mmcblk0p4 from crappy, and your hboot from dropbox.

On the hox, you only need to hold down the power button for about 10-12 seconds so 30 may be too long and sending a time out to the emmc recover tool

[Q] Can't unlock bootloader on htcdev.com

I've reviewe dthreads with similar complaints, but...
1) I'm trying to root from linux
2) none of the threads match my conditions
Problem:
I can't get bootloader unlocked from htcdev.com. The website is super slow, and times out my login every 5 minutes. Grrrrr! When I run "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" it
1) returns a different blob every iteration
2) fails with:
Error Code: 173
Error Reason: Check rule failed with exception.
I gotta get past this before I can move on. I've spent hours preparing to do this, i.e. watching vids, reading instructions, etc, and I can't get past step #1. Grrrr!
Any help?
Thanks

Are you using the fastboot binary built for linux? You might have the one for windows by mistake
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium

I downloaded the one for linux. It's not an .exe, and when I run "./fastboot devices" i returns listing: "HT0CNHV02877 fastboot"

Have you tried Indirects method to downgrade? After you downgrade you can still root it when you go to 2.2
You have to do the manual method though since you're on linux
But other than an incorrect binary, I dont know what the problem could be

What's your os? 32 or 64bit?
If its 64bit have you installed the 32 bit libs.
Have you tried a different USB port or USB cable?

"Indirect methods"? I'm not aware of them. Any links? Also, by "manual method", I presume you intend the one I've been following, as opposed to to your "1-Click Shift ROOTility"? I don't mind the manual method, as I've studied them for some time, and I'm familiar with the command interface. I'd like to proceed on Linux, especially if I can help clear up some issues along the way. But it sounds like most folks root from Windows?

I read alot of people having the same problem (today), its probably the site (HTCDev) itself.
I've been trying all day to unlock my (newly repaired) HTC One X without any success.
Hope it gets sorted soon.:fingers-crossed:
