[Q] ROOT 2.2 FROYO OTA update 8/2/2010 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am awaiting my replacement EVO which will more than likely have FROYO 2.2 OTA on it when I recieve it, fortunatley my phone guy will give it to me unupdated in the event it dosen't have it. My guess is that is why I haven't recieved my replacement yet ( been two weeks on back order from Sprint) they are probably updating the replacements to break Root, so I'm just wondering if the Dev's have anything in the works yet...
Must have Root...
Thanx

Wrong Forum.
Questions go in Q&A Forum.

To reiterate: If it's a question not pertaining to a specific devs work, and is not in that dev's thread, it should be in the Q&A section. Q&A stands for Question and Answer, for people that aren't aware.
To answer you question: No there is no root yet for the OTA 2.2

Hi i got my evo 4g with already intalled new update froyo 2.2 two weeks ago.I will like to know if it possible to root my evo 4g ?? Please i m been reading alot ,i find that is not possible to root the update froyo 2.2, but from forums post from last month .i will like to know it there a new fix. please could someone help me with that.thank you
.......Smh
Hi eddyfalmaguer86,
From a sticky post in the EVO Q&A forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747495, which was last updated on 8/10 as of this post (8/21), it appears that there is "no known way to root a stock Froyo at this point."
This appears to be the inability to downgrade the 0.93.0000 HBoot which comes with stock Froyo, but my guess is that perhaps in a few more days or weeks, some brilliant guy will find a way.
Good luck.
Sorry to jack the thread, but in froyo release it said we are able to add and search unknown friend on friend stream. Anyone know how the hell?

If you read "in forums post from last month" that it was not able to be rooted, if you wanted to know if there has been any change from that, wouldn't you read "forums post from THIS month" to find out the latest news?
I think the admin should make a popup window when someone signs up, that says in huge fonts.. "Evo with version 2.2 already installed on stock phone or with OTA update, is NOT rootable at this time"
Click OK if you understand this.
When they click OK, it pops up again and say's the same message, but with "No, Do you REALLY Understand this"?
Click Ok if you REALLY Understand
Then a popup comes up and says "Ok, if you REALLY do understand, please type
"I understand Evo with version 2.2 already installed on stock phone or with OTA update, is NOT rootable at this time"
Once the person has successfully typed that in, registration advances

PRI 1.90_003 - Where it be at?

So far, none of the various radio or nv updates have updated my PRI to 1.90_003. What gives?
To anyone who installed the real RUU or OTA, was your PRI updated?
Joeykrim claims that the RUU *does* contain an rcdata.img, yet Virus claims that it does not.
We need some answers people!
That is a great question. I would like to know the answer to that as well. So far I have asked a buddy of mine at work who has a bone stock Evo and he reported no change.

The flashable zip that virus posted in one of the initial 3.70 threads for the radios also includes a rcdata.img. But just because the NV updates to a new version doesn't mean the PRI will have changed. Two separate things.
Firstly, do you mind posting in the correct section? This is a question... post it in the Q&A forum...
Secondly, Do you mind NOT using a title that suggests that you have POSTED the update...?
People see your title and click on it thinking that there is the update inside, because everyone is looking for it... but they just find another rant about how it's not out yet... This is extremely counter-productive...

+1, also lets put this in perspective for a minute. I remember all the time spent trying to get the pri 1.40 and it was not worth the trouble. Virtually no difference in performance and alot of wasted hours. Eventually it was posted here by our great contributors, after 80+% of us spent countless hours trying different methods getting it to update. So I guess what Im saying is, not this time my friends. Not going to sit here and worry about the stupid PRI. When it updates or is posted great. Not going to lose sleep over it because I know it will be done at some point.
I ran the full ruu and mine is 1.77_003.
The PEI gets updated by Sprint until someone pulls it out and posts it here, there is really no big deal about it right now.

“Where it be at?” is a question guys…. Chill a little. Everyone gets so damn worked up all the time. What's counter-productive, are the rants... Although true, this IS in the wrong section. MODS will move it accordingly.
Just be patient grasshopper, it'll make its way soon enough.

It was changed from "[pri] 1.90_003" and it was in the dev section.
I certainly miss the old Windows Mobile days, when the PRI was updated just by running a CAB file on the phone...
The RUU does not have an rcdata.img, but the OTA DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there any way to flash the OTA if you updated using the RUU and you're not rooted?

Q: 2.2.1?

i'm planning to root my G2, but i need to be on 2.2.1 first. i'm still on 2.2, and i have to wait for an OTA, which i really dont want to do. is there any way to get to 2.2.1? maybe an update.zip?
Firstly, to avoid getting flamed, I'd post further queries in the Q&A section. (Now it's been said, let's not harp on the guy.)
Second, try a search of the forum. I'm willing to bet the update is around somewhere. (Again, now it's been said.)
haha thanks man. i'll look around.
It's in the rage thread. Follow the instructions to the letter and you can root while still on 2.2.

[Q] 2.3.3 Root (Question)

A friend of mine just got his Evo yesterday and it came shipped with 2.3.3.
I've searched the forums on multiple sites and couldn't find an absolute answer, is it possible to root this, or downgrade to a rootable version?
no you cant root as of now and you cant downgrade either
sorry
and just to help if your new people become douche bags if you post something in the wrong section you will get more help if you post this in the Q and A section
Sadly no
They are working very hard (see Evo 3D and Sensation forums) so it shouldn't be that long but as of now nope. BTW watch out for the troll police and their smarmy (but usually hilarious) comments. Maybe move your thread if u don't wanna hear them.
cool rom! try going to the q&a im sure u know howz to readz!
WOW, AGAIN!!!?!??
MODS, clean up on thread 1160843...hahahahaha

[Q] verizon m7 sense 6 update caused root failure on weaksauce plz halp me justincase

What's going on xda? I wanted to post this in the developer forum, so that possibly Ya know, a developer would see it and read it but the site said "no" so I have to post here. I had my phone rooted with weaksauce I was gonna go all out and unlock the boot loader and s-off but weaksauce made it so easy to have root access I was pretty satisfied with just that for a little while at least. Then I got an update Download from Verizon. I pressed where it said update now. I was curious. I'm sorry, anyway now I have the Verizon version of sense 6.0 and weaksauce shows me root failure when it runs. It's been like this for quite some time now and I've been searching around for any info on it but I'm the only person who has made a post about it so far. Other people also have this problem, I made a post on android forums and many others are sharing the same issue. Developers please. Let me know if you share the problem or know the solution or if you are currently working on the solution because I am getting slightly impatient. Thanks
Why not post this in Verizon HTC ONE forum? There you will receive more help.

If it was actually that simple I would have already done that. I have a VERIZON m7. Weaksauce was the only root method I tried that worked, so it's not that I'm too lazy to search around for the correct thread, it's that that correct thread doesn't exist yet so I just keep making threads on different android forums until I flood the internet with my words and someone finally notices.

Whats Going on? What is going on is that you really didnt pay attention to the rules when you joined. Had you then you would know why you cant post in the Dev forums. You would also know that had you posted this in the dev forums, it would have been deleted on site.
Now I am gonna move this to the proper device forums and advise you to take another look at the rules before you post again.
Basically, you are SOL until Firewater/Weaksauce/Towelroot is made to work on our latest OTA.
Had you run Firewater when you had root, prior to updating, you would have been able to update and retain s-off and root.
Since you didn't, you are now stuck without root until/when/if an updated method/exploit is posted.

Dude, keep moving it if it makes you feel important.

You guys are like maids for this site do they pay you well? Is it just fun for you to move threads to the correct place? pretty much: LOL @ false sense of entitlement thread police

Your thread got answered after it was moved to the right place, so that mod with "a false sense of entitlement" is the only reason you got a accurate reply.
Your call, but a bit of appreciation for those who keep this site running and volunteer to help is never a bad thing. Running a site of this size is not an easy task.

Wow so let me get this straight. You come to a development sight and want to ask a question? Tthen you post in the wrong section so you get the least amount of answers. So not only does a mod come along and move it to the proper place so you have a chance of getting an answer, but tells you where you messed up instead of just deleting your post. So you proceed to call names and insult me? Then break the rules again. Well how about this. The next time you decide to insult someone you will be banned from the site and then you be stuck with what ever simple minded questions you may have. Take this as your only warning. I would normally just remove you from the site for good but I am in a good mood today so I will let this one slide.
