New Evo w/pre-installed update

I just got a new Evo that had the 2nd update pre-installed. Do I have to revert back to the original ROM before attempting to root?

Sorry dude, frankly put your screwed until they figure out a way to undo the lock that HTC put on it.
I did the OTA when I got home without thinking, and BAM, no root for me.

That thread makes the assumption of already being rooted, this person has the 1.47 OTA installed already, so at this point there does not seem to be a way to root it.
Someone posted a tweet from unrevoked in the thread dealing with this, saying the might have something no ETA though. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7042722&postcount=148

I meant that I had the 2nd RUU, i.e. the one ending in .6, i do not have 1.47. Im trying to root using toast's method without downgrading to .1, ill let you know.

You should be fine with ending .6. I got my replacement today with .6 and I'm able to root Toast method without a problem. Enjoy!!!

Anybody can confirm if UnrEVOked rooting method works with the new FroYo update?

As the title goes.

A little early don´t you think?
Give the guys another 15 mins and probably we´ll get lucky.

have u tried it?

they guys from unrevoked tweeted the response already, it dose not work.
And considering HTC's track record on updates you will have a hard time rooting again if you update to official froyo
It's up on HTC now: http://bit.ly/cCiIQu You *will* lose root. We have no root for this. Repeat: no root. Enjoy

The message is chilling "We have no root for this."
Well I give it a week tops till some genius comes out with a rooting guide.

no, but the hboot is différent, i have read and compare the code with hboot 0.80.

Guide: downgrade hboot using an older ruu and hacked misc and root again. Presto.

so it's best to stay rooted instead of updating to the official froyo?

Yes, for now I'd say. Unless you can live without root for a couple weeks
By the way can you help me look at this? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7442796#post7442796)

Patiently awaiting a proper custom ROM or a new hack/exploit that will allow rooting

Been out of the loop, now have some questions

Hey, its been a while since ive checked the forums and the progress of everything, and am really glad to see what I've come back to. Im very impressed with the progress so far. I just did the Unrevoked forever last night and now have s-off. My question or concern is...
Currently my phone has the original stock 2.1-update 1 firmware, with original stock rom. I am running the Hydra kernal v0.7 overclock with undervolt 1.113 w/n. My H-boot is 0.77.0000 and radio is at 1.00.03.04.06 with custom recovery 2.5.0.5.
I'd like to upgrade my radio to the 2.15xxxxx but im not sure if the kernal will work with it or what steps I should do first. Should I load the lastest kernal the way my phone is now, and then flash the radio? Or do I need to be running a 2.2 froyo rom first? Im not sure what exactly is compatible. I would have liked to wait for the ota but its taking forever and I want to try out froyo. Thanks.

I'd probably start off by doing some research and read all the 8 biazillion threads already open like this and then next make a note to post in the general section next time instead of development.
kthxbye

yup looks like I'm a jerk along with the 2 other ppl that posted above as well

OP... I had issues with the 2.15 radio, .92 hboot and .29 kernel.(landed me on the ozzeh wall of bricks ) If i remember correctly leave the Hboot alone and you'll be good. If I am wrong, someone chime in.

I guess we'll have to wait it out and see. I thought I was being specific and it would have been a simple answer. I guess more and more threads might just pop up on this then.

The way I went from stock to Sky Raider 2.5 was:
Install new rom, kernel, radio update.
I did this all at once, but you don't need to do the kernel update right away. Right now I've using Sky Raider 2.5.2 Sense and it's pretty awesome. Good luck to you and remember to nandroid backup. Backups never hurt anyone!

NEW Hboot with OTA update Dont root !!!!

Hi all I updated to the OTA 3.29 though sprint this is what I did....
I was rooted but the update unrooted which we all know we were told that.
So I ran this method 1st with the org stock 3.26... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141 that was rooted via unrEVOked 3.21: one-click root for Froyo, no downgrading...
then ran the 3.26 ruu to get the phone back to stock everything when k...
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 )
When I try to run http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141 go turn S-OFF back to S-ON it FAILS...
I know the Devs will fix this soon but I just wanted to let everyone know just in case you are thinking of rooting your phone after the NEW OTA 3.29 update that once you root u cant go back.....

run s-on before flashing unrooted rom.

john, as it has been posted in many threads. there IS NO WAY to go back to 2.2 if you accepted the OTA update to 2.3 this assumes that your s-on.

Well he is s-on cuz he said he never rooted.
And also John, there's no way to root it yet, so you can't even look to downgrade. Hopefully there will be a method within the month.

Fu*k My life .. so there is no way to even go back to 2.1 or some thing ..., ok brings me to my next question .......
can some one with 2.3 scan the memory for possible meid locations... ive been having trouble or is possible for me to downgrade my radio?

To the OP, if you haven't done so, call Sprint's tech support and ask if what you seek to do can actually be done by them and if so, ask how?

Sorry, but you need to be rooted to downgrade the radio.
