So I rooted my Evo using toasts root method both part 1 and 2. I am having a few issues though.
Now I haven't flashed any ROM after doing a nandroid restore at the end of the Part 2 tutorial.
Issues I'm having.
Can't set up Exchange email account. I keep getting an authentication failed. I have double and triple checked my settings. Is there a known issue with this after root?
Superuser Permissions just blank and things that I know should be asking for permission aren't? Before when I had unrEvoked things like WiFi Tether and Overclock Widget asked to be granted Superuser Permissions and now neither do and WiFi Tether won't connect.
I did have to load the apk for Superuser Permissions from a backup due to it not being there after I rooted.
I also know there has been mention of toasts root having issues with Android Market protected apps. Has this been fixed?
When I went through the root process I didn't get any unusual errors. Just a few that were my fault like not having the phone in charge only mode.
Should I just flash Flipz stock rooted rom? Should I wipe and start over?
Everything seemed to go smoothly I'm just a smidge new to Android so I'm hoping I might have just missed a step somewhere that I thought might have been optional.
Thanks in advance for the help
Flash to flipz now, thats what I ended up doing. I was also having problems with the stock rom that needed to be installed after root. Same problem with superuser, I actually had to install unrevoked, just to get superuser back, and so I could use the wireless tether. I did a wipe and installed fresh, and everything worked right away, no problems at all.

Yeah looks like I'm just going with flipz. I just tried unrevoked to get back superuser permissions working and well it worked and wifi tether works now. I have now lost usb connection. Phone will charge but doesn't ask me if I want disk drive mode etc.

Alright, so I previously rooted my slide; installed the SU.apk, ect. ect.
I had some cool stuff namely Wifi Tether, Root Explorer, and Droidcap. Anyways, I got a message saying that the OTA update was available AND STUPIDLY without backing up via Clockwork I ran the update.
None of my root programs seem to be working, some will open but wont function properly. Yeah I messed up :/ But what now? Do I have to reroot or is there a slightly simpler solution? Thanks guys
UPDATE: Oh wow, I didn't even realize there was a new root method, and it particularly concerns my problem. I feel bad for posting this, and the mods should definitely delete this.

There are plenty of threads now with all the info you need. Since I did the same thing as you just go to this thread and follow what Beartard took the time to write out. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710056 You should be back up and running in no time
Hi, I'm new to rooting. I bought a Viewsonic G Tablet this weekend and that was my first rooting adventure (to TnT Lite). Now that I have the tablet, I want to root my HTC Evo so I can broadcast wifi for it.
Overall, I'm happy with the setup of the EVO, so I don't feel the need to change anything as far as a massively different ROM.
What's the least invasive suggestion for getting my phone to broadcast, short of paying sprint for the feature. Thanks in advance.

Use Unrevoked 3.3 from there website http://unrevoked.com/ then pick the evo and follow the steps listed. Then go to the market and download wifi teather for root users (it's a green wifi symbol). After that you should be good to go.
Or you can download a rom that has all that in it already.like sprint lovers rom.

hey there - I actually just did this very thing - I can't answer as to unrevoked but I did this without that method and without flashing a ROM or flashing a recovery tool (technically my phone is NOT rooted though)
I followed the long procedure as to backing up my wimax/RSA keys and I downloaded z4root
I could not get z4root to work until I factory reset my phone - let me just WARN you that resets EVERYTHING even your gmail account (which I can't remember the password at the moment)
it even removed some apps I had on the phone when I got it (like flash)
I then had to manually download a file explorer (trying to install z4root through adb shell would not work without su access it seems)
second thing I did was install z4root through the file explorer (I used ES btw) - then I chose temporary root access and all was well through adb shell and my phone prompted me to allow the su
after that I installed wireless tether & barnacle wifi tether (after testing with my friends iphone 3 it seems barnacle doesn't have the latest wifi settings/security but it sure ports a lot faster than wireless tether - at least in our case)
I rebooted my phone (and checked about the rooting to be sure) and once back in the OS I did have to activate z4root again(temporary root access) but it worked and I was able to launch barnacle wifi tether again
this is by no means a test I can guarantee & I just did it like 4 hours ago so I haven't really used my phone hardcore or reinstalled any apps but so far very noninvasive to the phone (i'm still looking into getting complete root access with my stock ROM - can update when I have more progress)
As a previous user said, the quickest and easiest way is to go the unrevoked method, and it should put you in a stock htc rom, that has root access. I think it comes with the wireless tether app, if not, just search wireless tether, it is a green wifi signal. The app allows you to password protect it or allow connectivity via mac address labeling.

Z4 root is good for temp access. It won't nano unlock. That's why you have to do a temp root every time you reboot. If you never want to flash a rom it won't be to much trouble to temp root again.
Sent using my EVO running AZRAL X V 3.1
As previously stated, use Unrevoked. It will root your CURRENT rom meaning no wiping necessary. When it's done your phone will be exactly the same as it is now except with root access. Then the app you want to download is called Wireless Tether for Root Users, it's available free from the Android market. That's all you need to do, the whole process should take you maybe 10 minutes.
thanks
Thank you to everyone for all the replies. I'm goingt to do it today. I'll. Let you all know how it goes

i almost posted this same thread just now... but i'm a searcher lol. I will also be unrevoking a friends evo soon for the same reason and wanted to keep it stock.
Thanks again everyone
Had to try a couple times, not sure why. but it's all good now. Broadcasting wifi via wifi tether, and nothing else is different. Thanks to everyone for the help.
i bet you will change roms in 2 weeks...
you wont be sorry.
I've searched high and low for a solution to this that works for me, both here and everywhere else Google would point me, but I have yet to find one that works, so I hope someone can help me.
I've an original Desire running a rooted Froyo ROM, which was rooted using unrevoked ages ago (probably a year or so no). When I originally rooted it, everything worked perfectly. A few months ago I ran the newest version of unrevoked over it again to update the recovery to the latest clockwork and it appeared to work fine, but ever since I did this the superuser app will continually pop up asking for permissions every time any app that needs root is run (sometimes MANY times, as when Titanium backup is run).
I've tried different things to see if I could fix it - clearing the data for the Superuser app, clearing the Dalvik cache, even reflashing the older clockwork recovery back onto my phone with the older version of unrevoked which originally worked, but with no luck. The phone is still S-ON, but I don't see why that would matter when I had no problems with the original rooting of the phone.
I'm stuck and am not sure where to go from here, so any advice would be very appreciated.

When you're on Superuser app, do you see your apps with green button on the rigth ?
Witch version of Superuser app do you use ? Mine is v2.3.6.3 with cmd su v2.3.1-ef
Also, when being asked for permission, is "Remember" checked?
why not just re-root?

Yes you should have a list of allowed apps on opening the su app itself - click apps on top left. The allowed apps shouldn't keep requesting permission each time.
You coukkd uninstall su app then reinstall from market?
Nandroid backup first!
Thanks for the all the replies, much appreciated!
@punky.mtp & @stringer7: Yes, I can see the apps I've granted permissions to in the Superuser app, each has a green button against it. I'm not sure of the current version of SU I'm running, but I know it's not the latest version. I've tried to update it from the Market but it won't over-write the existing installed SU. I'm doing a nandroid as I type and will try uninstalling and reinstalling to see if that helps.
@HiVoltage85: Yes, I've set the remember checkbox as well for each app when granting permission.
@BigMrB: I've already re-rooted with different versions of unrevoked, several times, which hasn't fixed the problem.
I'll let you know how I go.
Sorry, I'm giving away my ignorance, but how do I uninstall my current Superuser app? The uninstall button is disabled in the manage applications part of the phone's setup.
Edit - Never mind, I found how to do it.
Looks like I have it fixed. I was able to remove the old Superuser app and install a new one from recovery (v2.3.6.3) which works properly and doesn't keep asking for permissions repeatedly. Thanks for the suggestions and help!
I attempted to root my phone using 1-click root app and it looked like everything went well. I was able to tether, titanium backup could access what it needed to, etc. As I continued to try new apps I started to see an error message more and more "<app name> as been denied super user permissions". At first I thought nothing of it but now Im starting to question it my phone is fully rooted.
I down loaded Root check basic which tells me that my SPH-710 is not rooted as I once thought. Now Im not sure what I should do?
It should be noted that when I go into recovery mode sometimes I have issues when attempting to boot. (I know this isnt much to go on but I havent exactly documented whats happening and Im paranoid to try it right now).
So here I am looking to you phone gurus for advice. I should have the correct drivers and development kit installed, but again this isnt something I do on a daily basis and would rather not go into this blind and brick my phone. The last phone I rooted was my EVO 4G and once I got that configured where I wanted it I never touched it again.
Anway.. any links, apps, sites, etc, that you could provide would be appreciated.
Thank you.
The easiest way is to flash a rooted kernel in odin, download a ROM and install it through the recovery if you want to after that.

If you were able to run Titanium you were rooted. You probably got an OTA update recently which disables your root. Just re-run the rooting package and you'll have it back.
Re-root Post OTA
+1, got the update a couple nights ago and also lost root even though I still had the Superuser app and could run the allowed programs there as root.
I used sfhub's method to root again and it was a snap:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
Bonus is s/he now supports a way to turn off CIQ!
I am on 2.3.6 and used the latest root method (odin), installed SU3.0.7 and everything was great! Bought TiPro and froze the wifi apps and tried to tether and browser went to the TMO gotcha site. I thought I must have missed something so I tried to go back into TI and it says that I am not rooted! Rebooted into recovery and flashed recovery.tar again just to make sure, successful. Open TI again, no root. Open Super manager, go to "enable root" SU grants permission. Any Ideas? I just wanted to get wifi sharing working, nothing more really. Apologies if this is posted elsewhere, I could not find it.

bump....anybody got a clue on this? I really miss the tether I had on my TP2
are you on a custom rom? Have you tried going into recovery and wiping cache, wiping davlik and fixing permissions?
Did you freeze wifi tether I beloved its called..also T-Mobile account manager...I froze both while running into same issue. Had to clear cache, data and fix permissions and did trick. Just make sure to freeze those two apps....hope it helps
Just fixed the Tibackup issue. The box for forcing the system busybox was checked. All good there. Trying to freeze apps again for tether.
sometimes it helps to step away and ty again later. i had frozen the Wifi apps but missed the tethering manager. all is good now. the busybox check was a real problem. must have been my big fingers accidentally hitting it or something. appreciate the help.
