Hello all, I just rooted my ota 2.3 EVO using the new revolutionary. I got root, awesome. Did a back up and them tried installing a new Rom. I tried the synergy rc1 and rc2 and after booting either one I get constant Android force closes. Any ideas or maybe the best roms?
I did a search first and found nothing so any help gets a big thank you.

Also, should I stay with 2.3 or use the ruu thing and go back to 2.2?
And yes, I am a root noob

Did you install an recovery menu? Isnt your evo running revoked root?
I rooted for first time yesterday using the new revolutionary s-off. During root I was prompted to install clock something and did so. I also made a backup that I have used successfully after the failed Rom. I assume I have recover because I can access it from the bootloader

Hi all,
My Tbolt is rooted. But when I try to install an app its rejected because its says my phone is not rooted.
It's there an app that's I can down load and have it verify my phone if indeed rooted?
Much appreciated.

You can just download an app on the market called "root checker", but if you are not able to use root apps you might have messed up somewhere and will have to redo the process.
Did you root manually or use one of the other programs?
Hi
I did it manually....
But not sure if this unrooted problem started after I did new ruu update.
Manual rooted method.
Update. Just install root checker n it show I have no root access. Wtf...
My phone has been rooted for at least 1 month now.without any issue. Damn... Must be be the new RUU.
Thanks for your quick respond.

Pro-tip you can also just open up the terminal emulator and type in "su" and hit enter. If the doallar sign changes to a hash you have root.

there are at least two versions of the update RUU floating around. from the two that jcase posted in the the development section, one keeps root and s-off and the other returns the phone to complete stock with s-on.
maybe you flashed the wrong one?
try going into ROM MANAGER and click on Fix Permission..see if that may help

Ok sorry if this has been discussed before but this is the first time I Rooted a phone. Last night I followed the Guide and sucessfullly Rooted My EVO 3D. I have S-OFF and Titanium Backup shows super user access.
I seleceted "NO" to clockwork recovery during the rooting process because the guide said that it could crash and I wanted to make the process as seamless as possible. Now I want to install a custom ROM and want to know how to install Clockwork Recovery manually on my phone.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

+1. I'm used to using clockworkmod even though TWRP has more features. Use Rom Manager app to flash clockworkmod 4.0.1.5

Viper all the way.
I used Unrevoked, everything went smooth. I currently have TeamWin's recovery, but can I also install ClockworkRecovery? I have no idea if they would interfere with one another, or if having both is even possible?
If you use the revolution tool again its gonna tell you that you already have s off but it asks you if you want to download and install clockwork recovery. Y and enter and you got clockwork Found this by accident when I tried rooting a friends phone but didn't know he had s off already.

Nice Dood. This did it for me, even though i already had S-Off for like 8 days, I was lost. Does what it says, asks to download CWM since ur already S-off'd... AWESOME

to directly answer your question, if you did a full restore (system, data and kernel) of android 2.3.3, you'd have a new radio loaded (from OTA) with older system software and kernel (from full restore). not sure that is the most ideal setup, but it is possible.
not sure why you would want to go from 2.3.4 (OTA) back to 2.3.3? partly defeats moving to 2.3.4.
for starters, you'll want to restore the custom recovery, as the OTA will have overwrote that as well as removing the setuid permission on the su binary in /system/bin/su.
to restore the custom recovery, if you haven't already done, you should be able to flash it thru rom manager, as you're still s-off. also can flash it thru the bootloader using the .zip or using my flashimagegui app.
not sure what exactly your goal is or why you're wanting to move back to 2.3.3 after doing the 2.3.4 OTA. hope the information provided helps!

Nothings going to happen.I have all the new updates except hboot.I built a 2.3.4 ROM its quick.but ya know what no over clock yet.so I went back to my 2.3.3 backup of my V6 ROM over clocked to 1.7ghz. I have no issues at all.
I'll go back to 2.3.4 when a oc kernel comes available.

Ok so I tried both ways and get an error that said I need to root my phone so i guess I'm screwed until there's a work around

Has anyone had any issues using the new Revolution root method? I have installed the fast boot drivers and run the revolution program and it ends up saying cant find root....what am I missing?
Got it figured out....thanks though.....
Did you have to downgrade?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Yes had to downgrade.
Sent from my unrEVOked forever Dinc, CM7.1.0
I had the same problem. Can you get it to root without downgrading and how?
I was rooted and soff long ago and I currently have a cm 10.2 rom installed. I installed supersu from the playstore to use AV4 on a 4.3 rom and I didn't realize I would lose root.
I can still access bootloader and it says I'm soff. I've completely forgotten how to root again. I've looked at most of the root guides on different forums but I'm still at a loss.
Can anybody direct me on what I need to do please?

In 10.2 ( dastins ) superuser is located in the settings menu.
Reread the op, the instructions are there.

Ok thank you for your response hossman. The only thing I see regarding superuser I dastins OP is to toggle back and forth in the settings between apps and apps & adb. I'm not sure if that's what your referring to.
My issue is that when I try to access an app that needs root it tells me my phone is not rooted.
Perhaps you can elaborate for me just a little please. I've literally spent hours last night and today trying to figure out what I need to do. But I'm at a loss. Thank you

Maybe you need to reflash, superuser works out of the box when following the instructions given

Guess I needed to flash the supersu update zip and then flash a ROM. Voila. I searched so hard for such an easy fix. Thanks for your help hoss
