Trying to do this for my daughters phone and getting stuck at this point...

dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

In term. emulator it tells me what I do not have READ access to this MISC.IMG. Also I was unable to PULL the battery without the device shutting down.


Any clues as to where I went wrong?

The audio in the videos was very hard to hear through my crappy computer speakers. May have to start over again..... sigh

Make sure you have the misc.img on the Root of your SD Card, and in the platform-tools folder of your computer. Also as VICODAN said make sure you watch the videos all the way through at least once, and re-read the Instructions a few times.

Thanks!

Thanks Vicodan, I followed your videos and instructions (from 2.3.4) and rooted my first Android device without too much trouble. The videos helped a lot. Are you still using UKE as you preferred rom? I know that a lot of ICS roms have popped up for speedy since you created this tutorial. Thanks again!

Good luck :fingers-crossed: . Be sure and read, read, read, and read again before you start. There are also Videos which would be a good idea to watch a few times. Any questions, just post up. There are usually plenty of people around here on the Forum that will help out.

Where you watching when he did it? Reason I ask is because it sounds like he did not downgrade your HBoot. By skipping that step it limits what you can do to the device. In other words you do not have Full Root. BTW you should still be able to achieve S-Off.

I would if possible ask him what he did, like what steps. Then go from there. I would recommend being fully rooted. Even if that means starting the whole process over. But that's a choice you have to make.

You're copying and pasting the unlock code improperly.

Please watch the videos and follow the instructions on HTCDev.com very closely.

Thank you.

I'm getting the 132 error as well, but don't quite follow what you're saying about pasting the unlock code.

I've pasted over the rootkit into the platform tools folder.
On htcdev I'm selecting "EVO 3D (Sprint)" on the menu.
I run the exe and it fails with the [132] error.

I don't feel as though I'm required to do much until this point, so I don't see where I could be going wrong. I watch the video, but you skipped through this step pretty briefly.

Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

There could be spaces in the token you are copying from the phone or from HTCdev. Please make sure there are no spaces (on the right or left side) of the tokens.

Between steps 13 and 14 for rooting 2.3.4 I installed rom manager and downloaded/installed cyanogenmod. Now my phone boots to the white/green htc logo, and goes no further. I can still hold power down and get into boot loader. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or have I permanently bricked my phone?

I was fighting with this one last night. Unlocked the bootloader. Got clockwork on there, got superuser on (su went from $ to #, so I should be good up to there). However, the Shift Rootkit I downloaded had a bit of an issue. winRAR said the PG06IMG.zip file was corrupted. I couldn't figure out how to pull just that .zip from the archive to either push or drag & drop to my SD card, and the Goo.im site was down a good part of last night too. Any help?

You did not finish the process for downgrading, and rooting :( . You have to complete the entire process before you try and start flashing Roms. Re-read the instructions, and watch the videos. I would start the entire process over to be sure it's done correctly.

You should be able to view the file with WinRAR, WinZip, or 7-Zip in archive. Then just drag and drop onto your SD Card like you normally would.

Finally got some time to get back to it. My original download was indeed bad. S-Off is a go, and NewSense has been flashed. I also flashed the radio per Vicodan's link. Not sure if the 4G radio works (not quite in range at my house; I"ll have to check that tomorrow. Now to dl all my apps and move them to the sd card.

Thanks for the writeup and videos. My Shift now has some more life left in it.

Glad you got it sorted :) . NewSense is a very good Rom, 4G should work with zero issues. As for moving your Apps to the SD card, newSense has A2SD built in. All you have to do is activate it.

Open Terminal Emulator
Type su
Then type a2sd reinstall

It will do it's thing and reboot. After that any App you DL will automatically go to your SD Card. no more moving them manually.

    -1) Check your phone's version in settings -> About phone.

    2.2: Whew! Life is easy, skip to the bottom of this thread for rooting 2.2 after completing the prerequisites.

    2.3.3: Skip to the 2.3.3 section after completing the prerequisites.

    2.3.4: Follow every step from step 0. Skip 2.3.3 section.

    PREREQUISITES:

    0) A PRECAUTIONARY THING TO NOTE: YOU WILL BE ON BASEBAND 1.07 AND WIMAX 27167 AFTER ROOTING! YOU SHOULD FLASH 1.08.01.0111 AND WIMAX 27240 AFTER ROOTING. ALSO NOTE THAT BEFORE YOU FLASH THE RADIOS MAKE SURE YOU ARE STILL ON STOCK 2.2 TO AVOID BOOT CORRUPTION AND MORE WORK. AFTER FLASHING THE RADIOS YOU SHOULD REFLASH CLOCKWORK RECOVERY, WIPE CACHE, WIPE DALVIK, FORMAT /SYSTEM, WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET AND REFLASH YOUR ROM OF CHOICE!

    1) Install HTC Sync and Android SDK with platform tools so you have adb!

    Android SDK available HERE:
    http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

    INSTALL PLATFORM-TOOLS ONLY!


    HTC Sync available HERE (only needed on windows):
    http://dl4.htc.com/setup_3.0.5557.exe

    DOWNLOAD THE Shift rootkit here EVERYONE NEEDS THIS:

    MIRROR1:
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/tjnn1b
    MIRROR2:
    http://d-h.st/m8U
    MIRROR3 (BROKEN RIGHT NOW):
    http://www.goo-inside.me/roms/VICODAN/shift-rootkit.rar

    2) Check your phone's Android version. If 2.2 skip to rooting Android 2.2 section. If 2.3.4 continue to the next step. If 2.3.3 skip to 2.3.3 section.

    WARNING: THIS VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY AND YOU WILL LOSE ALL DATA IN UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER

    3) Watch these 4 videos before starting:

    Here are all 4 video howtos on rooting from 2.3.4:



    ===============================================

    ROOTING ANDROID 2.3.4:


    3) Be running stock 2.3.4 latest OTA update from HTC

    4) Register at htcdev.com

    5) Unlock the bootloader by choosing HTC Evo 3D for Sprint and follow instructions

    6) Once you have unlocked bootloader flash clockwork recovery by downloading the following file:

    http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-speedy.img

    Place file in adb "platform-tools" folder.

    From the adb folder run "fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-speedy.img"

    7) adb reboot recovery

    8) You will see the beautiful clockwork recovery screen.

    9) Goto mounts/storage, mount usb storage

    10) Download su from the following location:

    http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

    11) Go back, install zip from sdcard, choose the superuser zip.

    12) Reboot, open market, search for super user and install it.

    13) Open superuser app go to preferences and choose update su binary.

    14) Download terminal emulator and run "su" to test if you have root. $ should turn to #.

    15) Place misc.img and PG06IMG.zip on sdcard using windows explorer or "adb push /sdcard/file.xxx" via usb. Again, please note that PG06IMG.zip is case sensitive.

    16) Unplug the phone from USB.

    17) Remove the battery cover and flash misc.img using the following command via terminal emulator or you can use adb shell with the phone hooked up via USB. Personally I feel more comfortable running this from terminal emulator on the phone:

    Code: 
    dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
    and press enter.

    18) REMOVE THE BATTERY WITHOUT SHUTTING DOWN THE PHONE as soon as you run the misc.img command. DO NOT SHUTDOWN OR POWER OFF.

    19) Hold volume down button and hold the power button for one second and release while still holding the volume down button.

    Phone should find PG06IMG.zip and RUU to Android 2.2. From here you can flash engineering s-off bootloader. For instructions on flashing the engineering s-off bootloader skip to the rooting Android 2.2 section.


    Again before you ask, make sure you have a freshly formatted FAT32 microSD card. If your phone can't find the zip, you are doing something wrong, your SD card isn't formatted in FAT32, you aren't using CWM, or you need to try another SD card.

    You will have to manually upgrade to the new cellular radio after obtaining s-off and downgrading to Froyo again.

    Radio flashing instructions here:

    =================================================================================================================================================

    ROOTING ANDROID 2.3.3:

    Note: If you are running Android 2.3.3 YOU MUST follow the instructions below to get downgraded to 2.2 and from 2.2 you can get full s-off root!

    1) (ANDROID 2.3.3 ONLY) Obtain temproot using Fre3vo:

    Code: 
    TEMP ROOT Instructions:


    Download http://tinyw.in/1lI

    Unzip if required and put in your ADB folder

    Launch command prompt (or terminal on mac/linux) and navigate to your ADB PLATFORM-TOOLS folder (note: ALL FILES MUST BE COPIED TO THE PLATFORM-TOOLS FOLDER)

   1) adb push fre3vo /data/local/tmp/ 

   2) adb shell

   3) chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo

    /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start fbb58a00 -end FFFFFFFF (if this doesn't work, try rebooting phone)


    Download these 2 files here and put them in your ADB directory:

    su-3.0-alpha7:
    http://www.mediafire.com/?81pxf3wp4pnhh1k
    Superuser3-beta1.apk:
    http://www.mediafire.com/?4djxewue85lgl0c

    or here if link is broken:
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14927732#post14927732


    Code: 
    TEMP ROOT Instructions (continued):

    Exit back to command prompt if you aren't there already

    adb push Superuser3-beta1.apk /data/app/

    adb push su-3.0-alpha7 /data/local/tmp

    adb shell (should now see # instead of $)

    cd /data/local/tmp

    chmod 777 su-3.0-alpha7

    ./su-3.0-alpha7

    cd /

    mount -o remount,rw -t rootfs rootfs /

    rm vendor

    mkdir vendor

    mkdir vendor/bin

    cat /data/local/tmp/su-3.0-alpha7 > /vendor/bin/su

    chmod 4755 /vendor/bin/su



You now have temp root. Disregard any notification about outdated SU binary. Root will go away if you reboot. If you reboot your phone you can obtain root again by just running the following

    adb shell
    chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/fre3vo
    /data/local/tmp/fre3vo -debug -start fbb58a00 -end FFFFFFFF
    adb shell (should now see # instead of $)
    cd /data/local/tmp
    chmod 777 su-3.0-alpha7
    ./su-3.0-alpha7
    cd /
    mount -o remount,rw -t rootfs rootfs /
    rm vendor
    mkdir vendor
    mkdir vendor/bin
    cat /data/local/tmp/su-3.0-alpha7 > /vendor/bin/su
    chmod 4755 /vendor/bin/su

    2) To check that you have temp root run "adb shell" and you should get a #. Be sure to check your phone for a super user confirmation when running adb shell to allow it. If you don't get one and get # instantly that's fine.

    3) Exit adb and mount your phone's sdcard as USB storage.

    4) Copy misc.img to the phone via windows explorer/finder/etc.

    links to misc.img here:

    http://www.box.net/shared/0l8ex73zne0tfr10ob69
    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15373824/misc.img
    MD5Sum: c88dd947eb3b36eec90503a3525ae0de

    5) Unplug your phone from the computer

    6) Download terminal emulator from market, type "su" and go from $ to #

    7) After you get # in terminal emulator type the following:

    Code: 
    dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17
    and press enter.

    8) Once this is done you are ready to downgrade to 2.2

    9) 2 ways to downgrade to 2.2. RUU or PG06IMG.zip.

    a) RUU is slower, but easier
    b) PG06IMG.zip might not work on a lot of sdcards.

    Anyways here are the instructions on downgrading to 2.2 if you don't want to run RUU

    1) Copy PG06IMG.zip to the SDcard via windows explorer/finder/etc just like the misc.img.

    2) Using adb type "adb reboot bootloader" and IMMEDIATELY UNPLUG PHONE FROM USB

    3) The phone will reboot. Select bootloader by pressing the power button. The phone will search for a few files and will eventually find PG06IMG.zip REMEMBER THE FILENAME IS CaSe SEnSiTiVE AND THE ".ZIP" PART MUST BE LOWER CASE. SO FILENAME SHOULD BE EXACTLY PG06IMG.zip

    If the you see a status bar on the top right corner of the screen it has found the file.

    4) If your phone cannot find the PG06IMG.zip check filename case sensitivity and/or try a different sdcard and/or download of the file was corrupted.

    JUST RUN FROYO RUU. IT'S EASIER IF YOU CAN'T FIGURE THIS OUT.

    5) Press volume up to accept the update and come back to your phone in 15 mintes. It should tell you to press the power to key to reboot. Once it does that you are now on Android 2.2 and can do the normal root steps from the bcnice guide (which I will write out here anyway).

    ====================================================


    ROOTING ANDROID 2.2:



    1) Download this file (shift-root.zip) http://www.mediafire.com/?h568sgdmkb1dkis
    mirror: http://www.multiupload.com/VZOSJHIZYA

    2) Extract it to the root of the sdcard of your phone

    3) GET TEMPROOT USING VISIONARY, NOT Z4ROOT. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH Z4ROOT.

    Visionary instructions:

    a) Go to phone settings and allow installation from unknown sources and enable USB debugging.

    b) Download visionary at the following link:
    http://www.filesonic.com/file/1974858134/com.modaco.visionaryplus.r14.apk

    c) Copy the visionary apk file you just download to the same folder as adb..
    (i.e. C:\program files\android-sdk\platform-tools)

    d) run adb install -r com.modaco.visionaryplus.r14.apk

    e) Should work. If you do not see the app, reboot your phone.

    f) After phone reboots run visionary, get temproot.

    g) run adb shell, and then then run the command "su" (without quotes) and look at your phone. Click allow for the superuser prompt and then verify $ goes to #

    h) move on to next step, do not exit adb shell yet

    4) Verify md5sum of hboot bin files from shift-root.zip

    Run the following commands with adb shell:

    Code: 
    md5sum /sdcard/hboot_orig.bin
md5sum /sdcard/hboot_eng.nb0

    386c19451e8dd18f9b98fad6b11be4c0 hboot_orig.bin
    60ec1006e6ec2e8acb370d6aad35b17e hboot_eng.nb0

    WARNING: If these do not match do not continue redownload the files then check the md5's again


    6) If md5sum's match run this command:

    DO NOT FAT FINGER THIS COMMAND. YOU COULD BRICK YOUR PHONE. I WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.

    Code: 
    dd if=/sdcard/hboot_eng.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

    You just flashed the eng spl!!! Now lets make sure it took.

    7) Check the md5 of new flash hboot and restore if necessary. Run this command to pull the newly flashed hboot to your sdcard

    Code: 
    dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/hboot_check.nb0

    now we check the md5 to see if it matches

    Code: 
    md5sum /sdcard/hboot_check.nb0

    It should read 60ec1006e6ec2e8acb370d6aad35b17e

    8) If the md5sum matches then congratulations its safe to reboot!! Before you do reboot please make sure you run rm /sdcard/PG06IMG.zip

    Check hboot and perm root!

    1) ok now reboot your phone into bootloader by running "adb reboot bootloader" or by removing the battery and reinserting it then hold the vol down button and press the power button.

    3) Look at the top and make sure it says s-off

    4) If so reboot the phone back into android

    5) put the phone into airplane mode

    6) Temp root with visionary (again)

    7) After temp root then attempt to perm root with Visionary

    8) Your phone will reboot and you are now officially perm rooted any changes you make will now stick on reboot

    9) Download Rom manager from market and flash latest clockwork recovery (USE WIFI).

    10) adb reboot recovery (or use ROM manager) to get into recovery and flash your ROMs! (Basic instructions and links below). But there you go! Enjoy!

    HOWTO flash a ROM:

    1) Download ROM zip file, copy to phone and boot in to clockwork recovery.

    2) If AOSP you will want to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, advanced wipe dalvik cache, and wipe /system and /data. Then you will want to choose "install zip from sdcard", flash aosp rom zip file, and flash gapps zip. You should also flash a custom kernel if you plan on doing so during this step.

    3) If flashing SENSE based ROM, just flash the zip file. If you want to flash a custom kernel I recommend dodge kernel 1.6, flash this right after you flash the ROM zip file. Follow the same steps as AOSP for wiping cache,dalvik, etc. Before flashing rom.

    4) Reboot phone, wait 10 minutes, and enjoy!




    BACKING UP YOUR PHONE:

    2 methods. You should use BOTH.

    1) TITANIUM BACKUP available from market. PURCHASE the full version. WELL WORTH THE MONEY!

    2) NANDROID from Clockwork recovery.

    a) boot in to recovery
    b) goto backup and restore
    c) run backup


    Links to popular ROMS that are in current development:

    Yes its on the root of my sdcard.
    And i already did the pasting of the htc code they sent. That all went well im rooted with the clockwork recovery. Im now stuck on flashing the misc.img using the following command via terminal emulator. I type the following code "dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" in but it says its not recognizing it. My android folders is on my C: drive so im doing everything else correctly just 17 is stumping me.

    Um, it kinda sounds like adb is not in your path command line or you need to cd to the same folder where adb and fastboot are at which by default for the sdk is in the platform-tools folder. For example mine is just simply C:\Android\platform-tools. Since adb is in my command path I don't have to cd but you may need to cd C:\Android\platform-tools or whatever the path to your android sdk is.

    Also Vicodan I found out you don't need root to flash misc.img. once you flash the recovery you can boot straight into recovery, type adb shell and it gives you root access with the "#" symbol ;)
    Then run # mount /sdcard
    In order to be able to flash the misc.img from the sdcard.

    Once you do that just make sure PG06IMG.zip is on the root of sdcard (transfer over in recovery if need be), then pull the battery to boot into bootloader to downgrade. Saves an extra step of having to boot up with root just to loose it all over again after the downgrade.

    If it is that big of a deal, why are you not creating it yourself? Is it because you do not have the ability to? Because you lack the skills required to do so? Exactly, you are here to sponge off everyone else s hard work just like the majority of people here, so stfu already and go back into your hole. Quit your whining and crying unless you are ready to step up to the plate and do something constructive.
