[Guide] How-to root Evo 4G gingerbread! via Revolutionary

[HalizDad]

Thanks alot i been stuck on this since last week...muchos kudos for your help

My bad...I meant under revolutionary...when you select...choose windows and not Linux.

 

[HalizDad]

If that doesn't work...you have to EXTRACT the drivers before installing them...dbl click, choose EXTRACT, dbl click choose INSTALL. Sorry for the confusion...I can't see your phone from here That was the another typo I found in the structions

 

[dreday82]

I did choose Windows the first time around and the correct HTC driver so what can my problem be ????

when you have the drivers there, dbl click and EXTRACT...then dbl click the exe and choose INSTALL

 

[HalizDad]

lol...I'll assume THAT worked and now you're "busy"....

 

[dreday82]

Not really driver was already extracted...still lost in limbo

Ok...I've only got one other thought...You say you have USB debugging ON, but do you have the phone on CHARGE ONLY?

I keep trying to get this to work. Yesterday it kept saying it will take a minute and I left my phone their for 30 minutes and nothing. Now I try and this is the error I get, even though it's not disconnecting. Please let me know how to fix this problem.

OK, I followed the instructions and I've got to say they were very vague. For a first timer, I've read All I could on rooting and there's not really any decent and detailed instructions on how to root. Do I have to run these instructions everytime I want to root my phone? How do I activate root once I've disconnected my phone? Are the backups taking it off? And do I need to use the Revolutionary file to root? Am I doing something wrong?

 

[harry46222]

Update...My phone is rooted now. An app I use for memory tweaks doesn't notice it right away (and still doesn't but it's in my superuser list so I'm thinking it has access). Forgive the sour tone of the earlier message... it was late and I was getting into something I wasn't mentally prepared for and got a little over excited. Everything's going well and much simpler than I made it out to be at first. Thanks for the info. Reading the notes after a good night's sleep does wonders!

Worked perfect, def the best Sense to date!!

I need someones help. Im hitting a snag in the creating a custom recovery for the phone. I was able to exit when i was in the boot loader. So no harm done. I use my phone for my internet connection since my DSL line is down at the moment. But when it asks on the S-Off tool if i want to create a recovery & that it needs an internet connection does it need a internet connection from the computer or can it be done from the phones internet connection?

Phone is now rooted thank you

I'm another one that just can't get this to work. I've been working on this for several hours now and can't get past the invalid beta key message. I've uninstalled HTC Sync. Uninstalled the HTC Driver Installer. Reset my computer. Run through the HTC driver installer, Revolution installer, beta key. My phone is set to charge only. Debug is on. Nothing works. The beta key is still invalid and everything stops. Do I need to reinstall HTC Sync? What should I try now?

Thanks!

 

[prbloodeyes]

snoopie, Make sure that you don't have htc sync install and running. Uninstall it.

 

[ReggieTee]

Is there a guide out for unrooting Revoluntionary yet?

 

[dlneal86]

Could be a alittle more deyailed on the root instructions, but othe then that thanks.
