Hello, I'm new here and I see some similar posts here, but am not quite getting the right combination to unlock my hboot on my htc evo 4g from a windows 7 64bit machine.
Here's a list of my problems when following the taco instructions in the beginning of this thread. The first potential issue is that I'm getting this:
C:\Users\yeffocb\Desktop\android>adb push tacoroot.sh /data/local/
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
188 KB/s (2129 bytes in 0.011s)
C:\Users\yeffocb\Desktop\android>adb shell chmod 755 /data/local/tacoroot.sh
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
I then continue on with the --setup and --root and things appear to go well
However, after the boot and when I run the adb shell command, the following command is not found:
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image
/sdcard/flash_image: No such file or directory
It should also be noted after the abd shell command above runs, the "su" command is not echo'ed like the example shows. I attempted to run su manually and this command was not recognized. I also traversed the directory structure to find out why cat of flash_image did not work. I feel that the something might be wrong with the sdcard mount (I have a 32gb sd card in it - it is a class 4 card (yes, I saw that class 6 or better was recommended, but I don't think this is the reason why unlocking is failing). I noticed that there was obviously no flash_image file written to the /data directory. I then checked /sdcard and /mnt/sdcard and these directories were blank (It is apparently unable to find the flash_image file or successfully mount (yes, this file was copied to the root of the sdcard as requested.
I then proceeded on anyhow realizing things were not looking good and came up with this on this screen:

Do you want to reboot device?
<VOL UP> Yes

So, I'm stuck. I think there is a problem with the drivers as I tried multiple times and believed I combed the instructions thoroughly. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

FASTBOOT
RECOVERY

SIMLOCK
HBOOT USB
When I select "recovery", it shows the white HTC EVO load screen for a second and then goes to the black ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.2 screen. These are my options:
-reboot system now
-apply update from sdcard
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-install zip from sdcard
-backup and restore
-mounts storage
-advanced
-power off
-+++++Go Back+++++
I'll leave it at this screen until I hear back from someone...just to be safe lol I'm scared of doing anything to the phone and making matters worse :/
not familiar with clockworkmod recovery, however, select wipe cache partition then tell me what comes up
Hello there and welcome to AF!
quick question, I see sometimes that some people miss step 5...perhaps you missed that?
I selected wipe cache partition and this was the next screen:
Confirm wipe?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
-Yes - Wipe Cache
-No
-No
-No
-+++++Go Back+++++
Should I confirm Wipe Cache or go back? I wanted to be sure of what you were thinking before I jumped the gun and confirmed. Thanks!!
Thanks for replying, Mikestony...
That step:
==>
5.now we will need to reboot the phone into the stock recovery. power the phone off then press and hold power+vol down to get into the bootloader. on the bootloader menu select recovery. wait until you get the red triangle with an exclamation point. next press and hold both vol up and vol down along with the power button. this will give you the stock recovery menu select the top option to reboot the phone.
<==
Yes, I did follow this step. I did the [power]+[down button] and then selected recovery. It rebooted and then came up to the red triangle with the exclamation point. I then did the [power] + [up button] + [down button] which caused the phone to reboot again. I did have a question with this the pressing of the buttons, though. I clicked all the buttons at the same time - how long do I hold the buttons down? I think I did it right, but just want to determine how long I should hold them down.

hold them down until the stock recovery menu showed up. Did that menu show up? I would assume since the phone rebooted, you are o.k....however, it did not get you into the stock recovery which I think is key...
yes thats fine...go for it...no harm will be done
Okay, it's done. It says "Cache wipe complete" and is at the original ClockworkMod screen (the first one). Do I select "reboot system now" or do/select something else? Sorry I'm dragging step-by-step and thanks so much for being so patient!
no problem....I am looking for "dalvik cache" now to wipe...
Like I said, I am not familiar with clockwork, so select advanced and tell me what is there...
Well, I got the menu after clicking [power] + [down button], which I selected recovery which causes a reboot, but I think there is another menu that comes up after the triangle with the exclamation point and clicking [power] + [up] + [down]. In my many attempts I saw a menu once, but the end result whether I saw that menu and selected the first option to reboot, or the phone rebooted without that menu coming up was the same: (a reboot)
I think I follow you...
you did, at some point, select reboot from the stock recovery screen, and the phone rebooted. Then you started the commands correct?
Selected "Advance" and this is the next screen:Advanced and Debugging Menu
-Reboot Recovery
-Wipe Dalvik Cache
-Wipe Battery Stats
-Report Error
-Key Test
-Show log
-Partition SD Card
-Fix Permissions
-+++++Go Back+++++
So I selected "Wipe Dalvik Cache" and got the same confirmation screen as before but for wiping Dalvik Cache instead of "wipe cache". I confirmed, Dalvik Cache is wiped, and it sent me back to the Advanced and Debugging Menu.
Nice...now do it again, 3 times, then go back and wipe cache 2 more times..then choose "go back" until you see reboot, then reboot.

Wiping cache and dalvik cache helps with alot of issues.
Clockworkmod is kinda sucky at wiping, hence the wiping 3 times
Only once (I believe it was the second time). I'll try again and see if it comes up. I would think that somehow the reboot is getting selected without me actually seeing that menu. I try and hit the 3 buttons simultaneously.
okee dokee, and just make sure the files are in the correct folders etc.
I know you are careful in checking, I'm sure, just re-iterating that's all.

Haha Gotcha
I did each one several times and went back all the way to the original ClockworkMod Recovery screen. Now should I reboot from the ClockworkMod Recovery screen by selecting the "Reboot system now", or go back once more to the original hboot screen and "REBOOT" from there? I feel kinda unintelligent at the moment :/
No worries. You can reboot from there. Once you get it working we can get you a new recoveryHaha Gotcha
We've all been in your shoes at 1. or another

Thanks for understanding
Well, it's no-go
I'm back to the screen that the Sprint guy got it to before Sprint told me it's rooted/corrupted and I'm SOL. After I selected reboot system now, it went to the white HTC EVO load screen, then to what I'm guessing was the ROM load screen that said "Android". Then it went to a screen that looked like a wallpaper, but blank (no icons, apps or anything), but had a notification bar at the top (signal strength bars, battery percentage icon and time). A second after it got to that screen, a text message came through and showed up in the top bar. Except I cant extend/swipe down the notification bar. So basically what I see is just a blank wallpaper screen with a notification bar that won't extend :/ Any thoughts?
**Also, none of the bottom keys work (home, menu, back arrow, and search)**
Sounds to me like you need a rom to install as whatever rom it has now is borked.Thanks for understanding

Have you flashed a rom recently or do I recall correctly, forgive me, this is a replacement phone?
Edit: just read your first post...got it...I think all you need is a rom there buddy
@thmper...I believe all you need to do now is flash a rom.
Go here and download to your computer, the full wipe version.
MikG v3.11 [3/9/2012]
Go into recovery on your phone, plug in phone, go to "mounts and storage"...in there should be an option to mount phone, or usbms toggle, or something like that. Select that option... That option will enable you to transfer the rom from your computer to the sd card. Transfer the rom to sd card.
After you do that, then unmount phone.
Now you are ready to wipe and flash, but we need to wipe more than just cache and dalvik...ready?

Oh, damn
Yeah, it's a phone I got, but it's not a replacement from Sprint. I'm guessing it had a rom put on not that long ago. Do you know of a place or thread off hand that I could get another rom for this phone? Or do you think Im able to safely and completely unroot it the way the phone is now (without leaving the watermark)? I'm not sure if I should try putting a new rom on, see if all is good and dandy once that's done and then unroot, or if it'd be okay to go ahead and do the unroot the way it is.
see my post above yours....we must've posted at the same time.Oh, damn
Lol yeah, I think we did reply same time. Yes, I'm so ready to get this phone up and functioning! We've got a little one on the way (just 6 more weeks left, but labor could come anytime now) and I can't not have the phone working when I go into labor lol So thanks so much for all your help so far! It's way appreciated
I followed the link and now I'm not sure if I'm supposed to download the 3.11 Full Wipe or the 3.11 Update. I'm guessing the 3.11 Full Wipe?
