unrevoked vs other root methodes? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ok i have searched and lurked and nothing really explains this
1)how or why is one better than the other?
2)Does any keep the latest PRI? Before bust out the flame throwers i beleave i know the answer but someone on another forum is trying to convince people that lates unrevoked keeps pri.
3)I am already rooted (simpleroot)and using fresh 3.1.0.1 and loving it but would anyone have a better running system if they used a different method and why?

1) Using the engineering boatloader is the best ATM. It allows access to everything.
2) I believe Unrevoked would keep PRI, but if you have ever used the engineering boatloader you can't get it back to the latest (at least not yet).
3) Nope.
Edit: Also, post in Q&A next time, it'll save mods the trouble of moving the thread.

[Q] Can 2.2 be rooted? I CONTINUALLY get "Main Version is Older"?!

I've scoured every post I can find on here, tried unrevoked, simpleroot, and every other means I can find on here.
If I already upgraded to Android 2.2, am I screwed? Is there no way to root this piece of ****?
Thanks for the help guys ...

I know that there is a new update. If you look at my second post there is a link with similar information from your post. The Radio that I post is Gingerbread OTA 2.15.531.3 and the new OTA is 2.16.531.5.
I'm just trying to share in case someone need it.
If someone think that this Thread is not helpful, go ahead and deleted, no problem at all.
Thanks!

The market looks like this from 3.0.27 version, which is 4-5 months old.
SwiftKeyed from my HTC Desire using XDA App.

also just tried to install zip from sdcard and it failed and reset my phone to stock, I used a recovery img I took just before I starting trying to resolve this issue tonight. kies says there is no update, can anyone recommend a rom to flash? all I need is root and the latest rom. thanks in advance
The latest rom is MD4. I see you tried updating to MB1. Here's a nice stock rooted rom by freeza. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1910947
Follow installation instructions in thread and you're good to go.
Sent from another Galllaxy
Yeah, just flash the stock rooted. You don't need to take the official update because you'll probably root out afterwards anyway.
You can also flash optionally flash the MD4 firmware (modem and such), it's also listed in freezas thread.

Rooted, then unrooted, now screwed :d

Hey guys,

Really appreciate any help that can be given.
Just an FYI - this is the HTC One M8 Windows forum...so expect the mods to come after you with a vengeance...lol. I'd re-post this question in the Android group, or ask the moderator to move it. There's a few different Android forums depending on what network you're on too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/
I'm guessing there was an update in-between the one you're trying to install and what you currently have, and for some reason, your phone is skipping it...but that's just a guess. My only recommendation is try re-flashing a stock rom on it (FYI - it'll wipe data off internal storage, so hope you have a backup of your contacts/photos/etc. before attempting this):

Agree that the error message indicates its looking for a newer build, and not finding it.
To the OP, did you manually put the update file on the phone; or did you download it the "usual" way when notified or by checking for an update in Settings?
What hboot number? What stock ROM (software number) did you put on the phone?
