Correct. Revolutionary does NOT root your phone for you, however they do give you the flashable zip to root the phone.
You can find the zip here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary
Look under the Common Problems & Questions section. A few lines down will be the link to download the zip.
thanks for the info if you can keep your ears on i may reply back with more question if it doesnt work

Not a problem. I'll check back soon. Should be straight forward and you shouldn't have any problems. Just put it on your sdcard and flash like any ROM
so i downloaded the file and tryed to load it but it says meta-inf and system and not else what should i do
Don't open the zip. Put the whole zip on the root of your sdcard, reboot into recovery and flash the zip.
ok ill try again but thats what i did if it doesnt work what else can i do to make it work
Hm... try redownloading it? Might be corrupt. Other than that I don't know, shouldn't have a problem with it. Thats the same zip I used to root my tbolt and I had no problems.
ok i just want to say thanks for all the info it worked

Hi Guys,
I used the easy root method and i want to unroot and return to stock. From my understanding when rooting you actually downgrade your software/radio version. I downloaded the file under the thread easy unroot, but how do i load it?

Download that file and rename to PG05IMG.zip, boot into hboot and phone should do the rest.

Try fixing permissions and rebooting always works for me. If it doesnt works maybe its the rom u are using cheq on its tread for buggs and fixes
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using XDA
if you keep having problems you can always just flash one of the RUUs and start the unlock process over.
Busybox won't install if you don't have superuser, re-root via hasoon's tool then try installing busybox, the wifi issue on the other hand is gonna require you to most likely flash back a stock RUU, or just try flashing any rom, see if that solves it.
relock the bootloader.
Backup the microSD card
Put the stock rom on the root folder of the SD card.
reboot into bootloader and let it install the stock rom. (it will erase the SD card i think).
Then re-root/re-unlock bootloader....flash away

I have superuser and root access confirmed with a root checker. I can't get any roms to install nor can I find good directions to flashing an ruu. Does flashing an ruu bring you back to stock?

Yes, flashing a ruu restores everything to complete stock, try rooting again, then install busybox, after that, get 4EXT recovery, should be able to install any rom from then.

I have a EVO 4g and im trying to root it. the other week i updated my phone. so idk if that has anything to do with why my phone is being difficult to root. but my brother had this phone before me. (he now has iPhone). he had it rooted but factory reset it before giving it to me. i downloaded superuser app from the market and cant use it so im sure my phone isn't rooted. I've tried using the unrevoked method and when i run the program i get a failed error mesage asking is my firmware too new? and i notice sometimes i boot to HBOOT menu the phone checks for some PC36IMG files that arent there. here's what on my phone when i look at HBOOT:
-Revolutionary-
Supersonic EVT3 Ship S-OFF
HBOOT - 6.16.1002
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL - ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO - 2.15.00.12.19

I've read around on different forums that i could just need to use the recovery tool and update it and reboot. im not sure what files i need although PC36IMG.zip seems to pop up alot. and i want to make sure i download and install the right version of any files im gonna use to avoid Bricking my phone! so im trying to be extra sure. I dont know if i need to treat it like im rooting for the first time ever or maybe update some files to get root permissions? Anyone with any info. Plz help!
Thank you in advance!!

Hey guys, so I came home from work to find my girlfriend trying to root her vibrant as you can probably tell I own a Samsung Epic. I believe her phone is bricked and I can not get into download mode. I have watched numerous videos but all shows what to do when in download mode. I can't get past the screen with the exclamation point. Please help because I can't stop her crying. Thanks in advanced guys.

Also she is coming from froyo..
You can root it in froyo but the question is what do you want to do. If you are going to flash a custom ROM then you need to go back to stock (eclair). Either way, short fuse super one click is best way to get root. Google how to root vibrant with super one click, you should find files and directions. The update zip you referred to is directions to get CWM recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
You can download the Superuser.zip and/or the CWR zip from my signature.
If you are just going to root it and leave Eclair on there, then pull the Superuser zip from my signature.
If you are going to flash a custom ROM on there, then pull the CWR zip from my signature (but make sure you have already downloaded a ROM.zip to flash with this).
For Root. Put Supersuser.zip in your Internal_SD card and make sure it is named Update.zip and the only thing on there named that. Boot into recovery using the key combo (Volume +/- and Power, when you see Vibrant come up, release the Power button but keep ahold of the Vol+/-) It will boot into "stock" recovery. Scroll down to Reinstall Packages and hit it. Might have to hit it twice, then reboot. You should have Root.
For CWR/Custom ROM. Same as above only no need for the Root.zip. Find a ROM that you want to flash (make sure to read OPs) and download it and put it on a folder where you know it will be in the phone. Just put the CWR on your Internal_SD and again make sure it is named Update.zip. Boot into recovery, scroll down to Reinstall Packages, hit it. It will cycle through and the stock (blue) recovery will turn to CWR (green) and you can then scroll down to Install From SD card and find the ROM that you downloaded beforehand.
Some things. Booting into recovery isn't easy and can take you a few times to get it. Also you can root using Z4 app, but you'll have to find that on your own.

A few things id like to note.
1.I have rooted my icon via Bin4rys root with restore v35.
After rooting,my root apps seem to function to their fullest potential.
2.i was able to get into stock recovery via terminal,im unsure of the button combo if there is one.
"su reboot recovery" gives me that android recovery 3e.also there is am option,"apply update from sdcard".maybe thats a way custom recovery can be loaded?
Im not a pro at all this,i just know some basic info about bash.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:i was able to dump stock recovery,but i have no idea how to build on windows.
heres a link to my dropbox with the "recovery.img" file & also the recovery.fstab file as well.

after reading thru the script, and several other tools that use this exploit, i have noticed that my phone doesn't have /system/app/Backup-restore.apk (best i can tell thats a xperia app) or /system/bin/ric. it seems the exploit works via some bug in these two files. could you look and see if your phone has these files? and if so, what version of the system software are you running?
System software version is 1.003BT,& i have a backuprestore apk & odex file in my /system/app directory.
The /system/bin/ric file is not present also.

Hi i read your help request in twrp thread and i can try to help you.is there any source about your device?
you will need to provide more than these 2 files for twrp to be compiled...
kernel would be needed but also device information...and some others file(s) like init.rc
can you provide kernel, stock boot.img(or working custom boot.img) ...might be needed some part of official recovery .
What is device resolution?
you can pm me if you want, i can try to compile Twrp for you...
i don't own the device so you will be on your own to push recovery in device and test it.
I can get you the stock boot img,im not sure about the kernel id have to be near a pc to split it to get the kernel.as far as i know there is no source.
EDIT:I found a guide to dump & split the boot image on my phonr,and succeeded.i will upload the boot.img,kernel & anything else you need t my dropbox folder ive shared.

Thanks a ton. I had tried every option in many different ways numerous times. After placing the correct file in the correct directory my phone was rooted. Did not give me verification...only errors. I had to download root browser and attempt to change system files as well as use titanium backup for verification. Although root checker would have worked as well. Lost root numerous times trying different things aka rom toolkit and safestrap just trying out a few things but was able to recover root very easily again. In it.d support working for me as well as a few scripts. Thanks for the help. Let me know if I can help.

How did you root the Hydro Icon? I have it on the Latest OTA cuz the Boost Guy did it when I told him NOT TO Specifically!
But trying to see if it'll still work. I've discovered Roms Before and I'm curious for this Lil guy. Thanks! And I hope an Official Tool to get this Device rooted come Out (More better the one we can root with in the Device!!!)
