How To Root Evo HTC 4G and Flash a Custom ROM

Evo 4G is one of the best seller by HTC which was launched in the year 2010. This smartphone was special because it was one of the initial phones that could run on the 4G network and surprisingly, Evo 4G is still considered the best 4G capable phone till date.

Powered by the Sprint WiMax network, this phone has a big bright screen which provides a movie experience which is simply unbeatable. Apart from this, the phone also provides a very rich video calling experience using a 1.4 megapixel front camera (and an impressive 8 MP camera at the back) all within a price range of more $200.

To gain extra control over this beauty and customize every inch of it, we need to Root it. Rooting will not only provide you freedom to play with advanced settings including the ones related to CPU, it will also allow you to install/flash custom ROMs. But before you root, you should know a couple of things that are very important:

  • It will void any official gaurantee or warranty you may have with your phone.
  • If done wrongly, you may end up with a bricked (dead) phone.
  • Lets waste no more time and harness the power of the 4G device.

The process will be successful only with HBOOT 2.18. Make sure you have the same on your phone. If not, we will be writing another tutorial for the other versions soon.

  • The First Step

The first and foremost step is to create a backup of all the important data in your phone. This will make sure that if something goes wrong in the process, you will still have all your data safe with you.

  • Gather The Tools

The first step is to get the Bootloader from the HTCDev. Proceed to HTCDev website and from the drop list on right, select the last option that says ‘Other Supported Models’. We also need the root package for HTC Evo G4 which can be found easily through a Google search.

  • Launching Flying Monkeys

Following are the most important steps. Please read closely and do not skip any step.

  • Extract the root package downloaded in the last in a folder on the desktop. There should be a fastboot.exe file on the desktop.
  • Now switch off your cell phone and start it by pressing the down volume key+power button together. This will open the bootloader mode. From this menu, select the fast boot option.
  • Now connect your phone to the computer using the USB cable.

Now run the command window on your computer. Press Windows Button + R to open the run dialog (or navigate to Start Button >> Run). Write CMD and press enter to see the command prompt.

  • On the command prompe, enter the following command:
  • fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img
  • Wait whilea custom recovery ROM is flashed on your device.

Now on the device, select the bootloader option using the Power Button. From the options on the screen, select the recovery option. Now select USB-MS Toggle.

Above step will make your device behave like a disk drive on your computer. Transfer the CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip file you extracted from the package to the root folder of the SD-Card.

  • From the recovery menu, select flash Zip from SD card and then select Choose Zip from SD Card.
  • Browse to the file we just moved on the SD-Card.
  • Reboot the phone to finish the Rooting process.
  • As soon as the phone boots up, open your app drawer to see the Super User icon and enhance your experience.
  • How To Flash a Custom ROM on HTC Evo 4G
  • Since we have already Rooted our phone and have the super user status, lets flash a custom ROM and change the experience of using our Evo 4G.
  • To start we need to find a custom ROM which can be easily downloaded from the internet (use Google) and ROM Manager Application which can be downloaded and installed from Play Store.

After you have both the above things, attach your phone to computer and transfer the downloaded ROM to your phone. Once done, remove your phone from USB run the Rom Manager App in the phone.

Follow the process below to flash a custom Rom.

  1. Reboot in recovery mode using the rom manager app.
  2. Select back and recovery form the menu displayed after the phone reboots.
  3. Now backup your existing system by selecting backup. Wait for the phone to complete the backup process. It will take 5-10 minutes to complete. Once done, proceed to next step.
  4. Now navigate to Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
  5. Select flash from SD Card and navigate to new rom we copied to the device.
  6. Wait for the flashing process to finish. After the flashing is complete, the phone will reboot.
  7. And that is how you can flash a custom rom on your Evo 4D.

Please note that when you run a new rom, the phone needs time to adjust the settings the first time it reboots and hence feels a bit laggy and slow. Do not start judging the rom on the first restart itself. You can flash any custom rom on evo 4g using the same process again and again.

Electron Beam Evaporation

Making Progress

Over the years, there has been plenty of progress shown in machines that complete numerous services and jobs for humanity. Technology and innovations has enabled machines to work faster and do specific jobs more efficiently. The result is that world is better and safer place to live.

Looking at History

In the days of old, people may remember how machines used to function and look. Individuals may remember how a computer used to take up an entire room of a building. As technology has improved and computers have become faster, many computers can be in one room and perform various tasks. Another machine that has changed over time is the telephone. People have been amazed at how a telephone used to be connected to a wall, but there are wireless phones that enable people to talk on a phone all over a home. An answering machine used to be extremely popular a number of years ago, but technology changed as people had valid complaints about the fallibility of that machine. Voicemail and other types of digital tools enabled people to leave messages and become more efficient at communicating with each other.

Making Adjustments

Machines do get old and need help. There are times that all a machine needs to function well is to change a simple part. People may think of an engine of a car. A new sparkplug can enable a vehicle to function well for a long time. Little parts can make the difference in many different machines, and technology certainly has made an impact that cannot be overlooked. There are other occasions that a machine needs many new parts. In fact, it may make financial sense to invest in a new unit as compared to trying to replace worn out parts of a machine. Technology helps companies make and improve various parts and can improve performance of a machine. Whether a company uses electron beam evaporation or another type of technology, machines can become more efficient in everyday use.

Humanity has used machines to do great tasks that were seen as impossible many years ago. A machine recovered parts of the Titanic. Machines bring people to where they need to be. Businesses are thrilled because of quality machines that do important jobs. Machines have made important progress over the years, and there are plenty of opportunities for machines to improve tasks on a daily basis.

No doubt individuals and businesses alike find it challenging to live without them. Electronics, however, has given rise to waste disposal problems, particularly computers. A big percentage of our computers today end up inside the closets, attics and even in illegal dumps. And for environmental concerns, computer recycling is highly recommended.

You need to make sure that the service provider you’ll hire processes the equipment in compliance with the federal standards and issues certificate of disposal so as to mitigate the environmental liabilities of your company.

Not all of us may be aware but computers may contain components that are proven to be harmful to the environment. Among these harmful components include the cathode ray tube. This is the computer tubes inside our monitor screens. It contains lead. Another hazardous component are printed circuit boards which contain chromium, lead, mercury and cadmium. Computer batteries also prove to be harmful to the environment because it contains lead, nickel, mercury and cadmium. This does not mean however that they pose danger the moment you use your computer. The fact is that they become a concern during the time of disposal.  Columbus Computer Recycling will help in the disposal of such electronic equipment.

The good thing about these recycled electronics is that they may also be contributed to charity. Various established programs often refurbish computers.

There are also some refurbished computers that are contributed to non-profit organizations or to some individuals who can’t afford new computers. So if you are thinking of disposing your computers, find a good Columbus Computer Recycling company now.

Southeastern Data believes that it is very important to provide proper disposal solutions for our electronic equipment. If disposal of old computers is not safe enough, that means that such disposal may lead to environmental degradation.

The damage that this may cause our environment may range from distortion of existing habitat to land and water contamination.

Whenever people dispose of their old electronic equipment, they disturb the habitat’s natural balance. To understand it fully, consider this. Think about the animals that decided to leave the habitat due to the contaminant. All the other living organisms that rely on that animal will also be forced to leave the habitat. If not, they may starve until they die. All the consequences mentioned above will be greatly avoided if you will hire the right recycling company.
