Can I still re-root my evo after this?

I had rooted my evo before then I wanted to unroot for the update and loaded this Ruu-Supersonic-1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253
Can I re-root my evo?

Anyone has any suggestions? I really want to re-root my evo

Just follow toast method!! You can still root I did just read and if your not sure read some more!! My wife hates me I spend hours a day reading trying to learn lol

Similar question along the same line but a bit different...
I did the OTA update and have been using unrevoked to run my root apps (was waiting for more roms to become available)...
Do i just follow toasts method, OR do i have to revert to the original RUU before the OTA and THEN follow toasts?

just try it, it's really easy.

Just follow toast's guide. It'll be fine. I did the same thing

I appreciate the comments, how ever I have rooted my phone prior to this and I know for sure I can't root my phone right now for some extrange reason. It doesn't see the pcm file on my SD card. Is it maybe becaus my SD is not the original?
My original SD card died and I was not able to use it anymore, extrange

OTA Froyo 2.2

http://community.sprint.com/baw/com...rd-winning-htc-evo-4g-beginning-tuesday-aug-3
I'm at a loss, as I remember reading it but can't find it any where to verify. When Sprint releases 2.2 Aug 3rd, since I'm rooted I should NOT accept OTA or force it to update...or ever do it, right?
Sorry for the dumb question, just wanted to make sure!

You should not.

thanks for the quick reply!

hi im using unrevoked3, how do i go about updating to froyo 2.2 when it comes out OTA? thanks!!

you dont until someone here roots it.

And go ahead and get off unrevoked now. Do a full root and use a rooted rom even if its a stock rom. You will be happier in the end. There are several methods posted in the Dev forum. Just pick one that matches the sweet version your currently running or follow the instructions posted previously in this forum.

Actually, I don't recommend full root if you can get by without it. Full root permanently screws up your PRI, even after unrooting. Until its fixed, people should only do it if they absolutely need it. You can use an ota update, but you will lose root until someone finds a way to root 2.2. Also, you can flash one of the stock 2.2 roms that are rooted. They should work with unrevoked.

It doesn't screw up your PRI, it just makes it a lower version. For some people this causes lower speeds on 3G; others are fine. But yes, once you do NAND unlock your PRI is stuck like that until someone figures out a way to update it.
I think flashing a 2.2 ROM with unrevoked and expecting it to stay rooted is a risky thing to do. I wouldn't recommend it personally. That is, unless someone has tried it and it works.

NEW Hboot with OTA update Dont root !!!!

then I did the ota 3.29 update the phone now has the new radio 2.15.00.09.01, hboot 0.97 and prl 1.77. (NICE)
After that I ran this... How to Unroot the EVO in 2 STEPS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776477, it rooted the phone again... (NICE IT WORKS)
But then I said ok I want to start over just to see if something goes wrong with the phone I will be able to go back to unroot to bring the phone to sprint for repair or replacement and to my surprise (BIG NOPE )

Any updates regarding a new version of Unrevoked?

Title pretty much says it...was wondering if there are any updates as to when those of us with new(er) Evos can expect the new version of Unrevoked that will work on our phones
Thanks in advance

I saw a thread from joshua at unrevoked. They updated the unrevokedforever.zip file to include the newest radio version and said they are actively working on getting a new version of unrevoked in place that will work with the newest phones. I imagine it will take a little while as the newer phones have different data partitions than the older ones so they need to figure out some very complex methods to create a one click root this time.
If you feel the need to root now there is a thread with instructions on how to do it manually in this forum.

unrevoked forever is just a zip file you flash with a custom recovery installed that sets your phone to s-off....
unrevoked is a one step process that you use as an executable file that flashes the zip as well as giving you a custom recovery and adds superuser to your phone achieving full root.

well according to their twitter, it seems they are done with the evo 3.70 ota support, but their release may be delayed because of weather.

Ahhhh ok....thanks for clearing that up. So Unrevoked Forever is only good on a phone thats already rooted...so I'd need to root my phone with unrevoked first(whenever the new version is out) and then run unrevoked forever to keep any new OTAs from unrooting my phone.
I'm a LONG time blackberry user so all this is new to me...that's why I'm patiently waiting for the new unrevoked rather than going through the multi-step process

That's awesome news! I've been holding off on updating from to 3.7 OTA because there wasn't even a version of Unrevoked that works on my current 3.3 software. I didn't want to have to wait even longer for Unrevoked 3.7...But it looks like they killed 2 birds w/ 1 stone

The one click unrevoked method will automatically run and install unrevoked forever. But there are times when people have noticed it fails to install successfully but are still rooted. So at that point, you can just download and flash unrevoked forever yourself to get S-OFF.

You shouldn't update ever. You're basically unrooting yourself then rooting again. It might be easier to just flash the new things that come with 3.7/whatever new OTA comes out in the future

Ok, here my Issue i have a EVO that never connected on the 4G network, the Tech said if the phone is rooted that caused to not connect 4G, so I finally took it to the store and got a new one last night does anyone knows which process to follow that wont jack my RSA or MAC Address on my EVO? or can I just use unrevoked to root my phone?

If you just got a new one you probably have hboot 2.02 or 2.10.
I have 2.10 so I used this

I was worry about doing it @ first but if you follow the very detailed instructions you should be fine. Plus my 4g is not broke. Read everything first, even the detailed FAQ the OP included. I just couldn't wait for new unrevoked myself

According to the their Twitter account, a beta version of the new unrevoked is expected "tomorrow-ish." Since it looks like the new Unevoked will be available in the near future I'm just going to keep waiting for it rather than messing with the manual version.

[Q] Root 2.3.4

So, did I screw up? I reflashed to stock 2.2 in order to fix a few issues. I got the OTA message to update and I did, so now I'm on 2.3.4 with no way to re-root because I can't turn s-off. Would it be safe to use the unrevoked s-off forever tool or should I go with the gingerbreak.apk method. I feel like an idiot for updating, so take it easy on me... LOL! Thanks in advance.

I used this guide to get my Incredible rooted.

My first time ever rooting an andriod device. May work for you, may not. You didn't say which device you have. I ended up using the zergrush method to get mine rooted with s-off. Not sure I needed to use that method since I had screwed up and made myself think I had to try it that way.

Thanks, but it didn't work for me. Not sure if it's because I'm a Mac user or what, but it was definitely a no go. I don't want to be stuck un-rooted forever! LOL!

The method in the link above is the only way to root an incredible on android 2.3.4 that is s-on. Your best bet would be to find a friend with a pc and try it again.

I'll give it a shot and see what happens. Thanks.

I've been trying for two days by doing the method mentioned and no luck. I am following it exactly, but I keep getting an error message stating that my firmware is too new.

I also was successful in rooting my Inc using the older version of Unrevoked in this thread (version 3.22 I believe). I stopped before doing the full downgrade and S-OFF... I haven't decided if that is worth the hassle or not.

Kind of a pointless video. Of course you can root 2.3.4 if your already s-off. That is the whole point of being s-off, so if newer firmware comes out that isnt supported by unrevoked or other rooting programs, you can still easily get root by flashing a custom recovery thru hboot and the su binary thru recovery, and your fully rooted again.
