Please Please someone help me! First off, i apologize if this is in the wrong forum but i figured it would be the best place to get help. I just got an EVO a couple of weeks ago (came from an iPhone 4). I understand that root is almost like jailbreaking. I'm trying to update my phone with a new rom but evidently it can't be done without being rooted. I've searched and searched to be able to find a way to root the new sprint update 3.70.651.1 but i just cant find it! can some one PLEASE HELP! I've tried unrevoked 3 but to no luck...

The best place to get help is in the correct forum. There are lots of grumpy people here who would take the time to bust on you for posting in the wrong section, tell you to use the search button or post a link to lmgtfy.com.
Fortunately I'm still noob enough not to do that. Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448 and see if that helps you.
This one is also a good one to try:

You gots to know what you are doing. Read thoroughly!
i would for sure use the one suggested by atapia984. it is a little harder, but it is a lot less risky in the long run. also, rooting is not too much like jailbreaking, mostly because you can do everything you can with a jailbroken iphone on an evo without any hacking at all. rooting lets you actually replace the phone's system (and other partitions) with custom roms made by the talented devs here at the xda. you also have total control over hardware of the phone. if you are really stuck on the root tutorial, i might be able to help you out, or even give you a walkthrough if you are too afraid of nuking your precious evo.
What is the correct thread to follow on XDA with regards to rooting an HTC EVO?
I actually purchased one and have been reading that the older rooting threads are outdated.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you.
look in my signature. i can help you out with it too, if you like. it is sort of confusing, but not very hard at all, and by the end, you will be a pro already.
if you want to take the easy (wimpy) way out then use www.unrevoked.com you will learn nothing and probably have problems later bcuz u know nothing but you will be rooted.
Hi all,
I am giving this a deadline of one week, if I don't have it unlocked in one week I will be putting a video on youtube of the phone being destroyed at my discretion
Hold me to it if you like, its useless to me as is anyway plus it was free so I don't care
I have tried to follow every guide I could find, I have what seems to be a really painful phone.
I cannot get the GOLDCARD done, no such luck, it seems to not see the SD cid at all!
If someone could please give me a link to the most basic guide ( I mean the DUMB guide where if you scratch your nose its in the guide) because I am either missing a step or something is wrong.
Then on top of that my phone is locked to Telstra (an Australia company) and the HBOOT is 0.93.xxxx so I have also tried to downgrade with NO LUCK, again a dumb-dumb guide please because I am over trying to work out whats wrong with this phone.
I have used the Downgrade2.3 and the unrevoked3 plus a few others with no luck.
HELP PLEASE!! i'm losing my mind here
The phone is a month old but I am at the end with it already.
Search for gold card helper on android market, its by far the easiest way
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
There is a sim unlock utility. You do realise that there is a search feature for the forum right?
I do realise there is a search feature on this forum, and after a solid day of searching I have given up looking and posted, I am at the point of make it or break it, either way I will enjoy the outcome

No rooting, goldcard or anything else. It took several attempts but I managed to unlock my phone.
Hi can anyone point me in the right direction for starting to unlock bootloader 1st timers, ive been to htdev.com but seems i cant do any thing intill they have updated there software? thx in advance
First up,Post in the Q and A section
Second,YOU might have to update your device to unlock the bootloader
I seriously can't get why many newbies cant read the instructions that are on HTCdev.com
I was trying to root my M8 but somehow ended up derping and wiped my OS. I've look around for solutions and came to the conclusion that I have no idea what I'm doing because I don't know a lot of the terms being used, so here I am asking for help.
Could someone help me reinstall the OS and help me root it properly?
I'm on the T-Mobile network, but I'm not sure which variant my M8 is. I'll provide further information as we go. Thanks in advance Q_Q
Note: I'm a total noob when it comes to these things so please be patient with me

Hi!
Post one here has tonnes of info... How to root, terms explained, like RUU... Which is what you may need to get back up and running...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711073
And another,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744194
And then you'll likely need to find the correct RUU for your device (correct CID version and same android version you were in). You can look at the RUU collection threads found in the general section, or search Google for it. Then try this flashing guide,

Yes, much to read and learn... But that's how this hobby goes. It's best not to attempt anything without thoroughly reading about it and understanding it first. Or bad things can happen.
Good luck!
As @Darth stated, read and read more. It's not that hard once you start understanding how things work, and what the terms that are used actually mean.
I will give you a push in the right direction.
Here is a link to HTC's US website where you can get instructions on how to use an RUU, plus the download for the T-Mobile RUU. You'll want the manual update instructions. The download is at the end of them.
But only use this if you are on T-Mobile US. It doesn't work for T-Mo International.
