Best for rooting evo - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was just wondering what would be the best way to root your htc evo. I'm a noob, and looking to try this out. Plus what can I do when it's rooted?

Please tell me you don't have 2.2 installed...

Search the forums. There are at least 3 different methods currently. If you have Android version 2.2 (Froyo) already, there is no root method yet.
Posting such a vague question like that is not noobish, its lazy. Put forth effort before asking for help.

[Q] Help with root

Okay so i been lurking around XDA for sometime now and i own an HTC Evo which i love, and would love more if i could root it with some cool Roms but every tutorial i have seen, I get stuck or it just gets too complicated or it's outdated and i just quit because i really don't want to brick or damage this phone. I don't know if it's me or the tutorial probably both or just me but too me this feels like rocket science so if anyone could help me root my phone i would very much appreciate it, I can Chat through Gmail or a different messenger.
Sorry if i posted in the wrong section but i figured since this is the development section mostly everyone in it must know how to root.
Check this thread out from android forums. http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies-extras.html
I recommend using the unrevoked method if you do not have the new h-boot. Whatever method you end up using just make sure you read/follow the directions carefully.

going to try out the method you posted since my Evo has 3.29 and not the new hboot

Rooting and UnRooting Sprint HTC EVO 4G.

I'm thinking of rooting my EVO but I don't know how to and I don't know how to unroot if I had too. I'm hoping to get some good info and maybe some links..

Read thru the Dev sec there are threads on how to unroot

All the info is here. You are in the right place. Check out the dev section and you will find exactly what you are looking for. I started right where you are at and came here, but instead of asking people to show me the links, I read and read and read every post in the dev section that had to do with rooting and unrooting. Now both are very easy for me. I suggest that you go to the dev section and look for [ROOT] at the beginning of the thread title and read them all. That's what everyone else did and I seriously doubt someone is going to give you all the links to root your EVO.
Why would you want to unroot your EVO? I've never wanted to go back.

Root for 4.24 ota with hboot 2.16 has not been accomplished. In the meantime you can peruse the thread in my signature. The one about being unrooted.

Or you could have read the rules and did a search first before starting a new post and clogging up the boards and found about 100 threads answering your question. Just my 2 cents. Helping out the newbies.
This has to be the best response so far.

Yep...thinking about keeping that list of topics in a txt doc because we will be answering the same question over and over again forever.

[Q] HELP: Looking for the latest Rooting method for Desire Z

Hello Super Nerds,
I bought a Desire Z 2 months back. And I think I am ready to root her now. I actually been having this mad rush about rooting for quite a while now and want to do it ASAP. My knowledge on this is 0. But been reading about the terminologies and the guides for a few days.
I would appreciate if you can post the link to the latest method to Temp/Perm root here. A very detailed guide preferably.
I ve seen quite a few here but not sure if they are the latest.
Is it even wise for me to attempting it? I would love to give it to a professional for a few bucks but I don't think there are any in India.
Thanks. Any help will be appreciated.
What software version is your dz currently running?
Assuming you are still on a 2.2 rom, this is the best guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
It's is updated regularly and is very easy to follow.
If you need any help hop over to the #G2ROOT irc channel.

You can start your search for info HERE.
And when you are done reading that you can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473373 . Which is currently the thread right below this one. There's probably literally hundreds of threads here on rooting. You have to read...especially the stickies.
