New software ROOT
- Thread starter gbert88
- Start date
anyone will that'll work. my bootloader is unlocked already. i saved the ph44img already. i guess from there.
I'm going to give you another tool to download (it will also root your phone in one click of the bat file). Ok. This is what I did for my htc hero s (same phone as the htc evo design 4G). I did not do the fastboot command but flash the img file in hboot. Since the design doesn't work that way here is a work around. I can't guarantee this will work or for the safety of your phone so do this at your own risk. All files except recovery are attached as you said you already have the recovery downloaded. credit goes to 2fast4u88 for the recovery and one click root tool, android for the access to the fastboot file, and Lou Ziffer for the fastboot work around to flash the recovery. I'm assuming that you do not have the android sdk and fastboot already and is the reason for this mangled up guide and workaround.
Download OneClickRoot (v1.1)
(file is attached to this message)
[Tool] One Click Perm-Root & Busybox Installer • Htc Hero S • 2FastRoms
Windows htc drivers
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/37835945/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe.zip.
Fastboot.exe
(file is attached to this message)
Unzip files and make sure htc sync is uninstalled before you install the drivers.
Install the drivers.
After the OneClickRoot_1.1 is downloaded and unzipped we will use the one click script to place a few files in its tools folder. This will give you access to adb and fastboot.
On your hard drive create a new folder called Android and move the "tools" folder from OneClickRoot folder into it (for example C:\Android/ - so it will look like this: C:\Android/tools). The tools folder will have the files adb.exe and AdbWinApi.dll and you will place the fastboot.exe file posted below into this same tools folder as adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll . This should allow you to do the commands below.
Take the recovery img zip you downloaded for the custom recovery, open with 7zip, take the recovery img and put in the same folder as fastboot.exe file is located in the C:Android/tools/ (same tools folder you placed the fastboot.exe in above).
Plug your phone in to the computer and make sure it's set to charge only and reboot to the hboot and then select fastboot.
Open the terminal (or cmd prompt on windows) then navigate to where you moved the tools folder C:\Android/tools to get its path to type into the command prompt. CD the tools folder. (For Example: If you created the folder in C:\Android, then you would type in Command Prompt:
"cd c:\Android/tools" (without the quotes). Hit enter.
It should return a line and show that you are in pointing the command prompt to the the correct place. If that is correct, then type in the command prompt
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (again without quotes).
It will do its thing and since I did not flash my recovery in fastboot I'm not sure of what the command prompt or your phone will do after you type in the fastboot commands, but once this is done you should have a working cwm recovery. Please make sure that if you placed the recovery img file on the root of your sd card (not in my instruction) that you move it from there (delete or move to your computer for safe keeping) because it will keep your phone from booting if left there. I hope this works for you.

thank you so much.......i finally got my custom recovery..........now all i have to do is flash that superuser zip file and hopefully i have been rooted again.
hey another question. if i am now with a custom recovery and i have confirmed that i am rooted again with superuser rights can i flash a rom now. i did a backup of my current settings before i flashed the superuser zip file.
No problem on the help. Yep, you can flash roms, but make sure it's for the design or the hero s. ROMs are interchangeable, but remember that the hero s roms may disable your wimax (4g) You can also play with kernels.
Any good Rom out there that you can advice on. Which inert are you running

Right now I'm stock. I have flashed a different battery. You can run rom tool box & system tuner to tweak your rom & sd card for speed. Tweak your ram usage also. There's a build prop editor app to tweak other items. Themes are fun. Flash different kernels that are undervolted & overclocked. Be careful of what you flash, making sure your phone is compatible with it.
I have one rom (sense 3.0) I'm waiting on over at www.2fastroms.com There was one over at http://vaelek.com but he pulled it & is supposed to post it up with an update. There's a stock design rom over at http://www.sdx-developers.com/
Someone over at xda said that they were going to work on an aosp rom (cm7). And our phones are supposed to see ics also in the 1st part of 2012.

Oh and how do you tweak your RAM. I am using setcpu to tweak my phone to 1700 processor speed

Using rom tool box or system tuner. I think you can edit the build prop too.
This guide says it's for the OG evo. So use with caution.

[KERNAL] Merge 2fast
It says merge, but it's for the design / hero s. By the way, how are you running 1700 mhz on a stock kernel? Is this number your quadrant score?

I'm sorry it says 1200 on my setcpu, lol. When I flash the zip for merge2fast and I boot back up the kernel information is still the stock one from the new update.

[APP] Flash Image GUI
Or thanks to skuddy on xda try this:
"your doing it wrong.....
take the recovery.img out of 2fasts ph44img for cwm. put it in root of C:\
then in cmd cd to your android sdk folder
for instance mine would be c:\androidsdk\tools <--- this is where my fastboot lives.
then type fastboot boot c:\recovery.img
from there it will boot into cwm, which then magically allows you to flash a custom kernel zip"

Oh so from now on I have to go thru the cmd prompt on Windows. I can't just do it thru the phones hboot. So to install a custom ROM. Like in example the one from sdx that's deodexed I have to do it from the cmd prompt.
So after inputing the cd c:\Android/tools and then I type in then i type fastboot boot c:\recovery.img
From there I choose what options

No, you only have to do that with custom kernels. Roms can be flashed like normal in cwm on the phone. The method outlined above for a custom kernel flash is only using the cmd prompt to give you access to flash the kernel in cwm on the phone. Once the cmd prompt is entered your phone will boot to cwm & you then flash the kernel zip on the phone in cwm. When I flash kernels in cwm I clear the partition cache & the dalvik cache, then flash the kernel zip & reboot.
