Im going to make this simple...since froyo..sniff...multitouch and tethering tried rooting and i did do th ota update btw so i guess thats my initial issue

So what is your question? Not to sound like an ass, but you sound like a 5 year old who just dropped his ice cream cone!
Have you searched for what you are looking for already? There is a lot of threads that deal with 2.2 and tethering.
From what I can decipher from your horrid grammar is that you installed the OTA over your root and now multitouch and tethering don't work.
For right now you're screwed. Should pay attention to the forums when it said to NOT apply the OTA until it was rooted. Oh well. Sorry.

I was thinking more along the lines of Capt. Kirk on the original Star Trek: ""Was rooted....did ota....now...my...phone...doesn't.....work" LOL
ya and just like alot of us he is waiting for scotty to beam us up...
I;m given her all I gots cpt...The froyo is pushing 2.2...anymore and she gonna blow...LOL!!!
You've been here over 2 years and don't know to avoid OTA's or even more pathetically how to ask a question?
not sure how you installed ota over a rooted device. maybe you only rooted with no nand unlock and stayed on stock rom. i rooted and nand unlocked when I first got the phone and went to custom roms, and this would give me an update error of the triangle with the ! in middle when ota updates were released and i tried to install update. don't make it simple, try to give more detail please. there is talk about droid multi touch keyboard not working on 2.2 and talk of no wireless tether working either. it's been said that certian roms with godzsons kernel will get you wifi router to work, but it changes your cam down to 3mp. I have htc ota froyo 2.2 (rooted) odex rom from netarchy and was able to find that a search for wireless tether come up a new version not on the market. search for wireless tether 2.0.5 pre7. If you still have root on your phone, that will give you wireless tether without messing up your cam. good luck
I know this has probably been asked before, and I know that it is probably in the forums but I don't have the actual time to fully search right now. Is it possible to downgrade to an earlier version of android on the Evo, then root? I know when 1.6 was released for the G1 and MyTouch, you could go back down to RC29, exploit the loop and then root with the new 2.1. Any answer, no matter how simple of one, would be greatly appreciated.

Not yet. I wish I knew more about how to find and expose exploits. I'm such a noob. I tried a bunch of old methods, but couldn't get any to quite work. I'm guessing that the Flash flaw should work, we just need to get a custom hack to exploit it in 2.2. I hope someone starts working on this soon. I did the update on purpose, but I wouldn't mind having root again. I can wait until then, just hope someone figures it out soon, because there will be a lot of people after the update looking to root, and I don't think that downgrading is going to be an option. I'm guessing most devs are waiting for the final release before they start hacking it.

I had my reasons. I really don't care about root right now. The only thing I want root for now is to fix my PRI to be back to official, but since that isn't even possible yet, I decided to just update to completely stock without root. I don't use root enough to outweigh the possible security risks. I used to use it for tethering, but since I found out that I can turn tethering on and off and just pay for it prorated, its worth it. I just would rather pay and have it legally than have it free. And since I can do so affordably, I decided to just forget about it all together. Anyways, I'm willing to test a root method when someone comes out with one.

True, each has his own opinion and reasons. The rooted Froyo are still not fully functional at this point anyhow, that is one more thing that stops me from upgrading to it. I bought a phone with an 8mp camera for a reason. (granted it's no DSLR)

Fella's, there is froyo 2.2 rooted fully functioning. camera works, as well as 4G. i have my phone on 2.2 fully rooted and let me tell you, its 1000% better than 2.1. there is actually someone who already started making their own custom roms, but he posted the only 50% of the people reported that wifi tethering was working, but if you do the "STOCK WITH ROOT" it all works.

good man for showing initiative. i think they are looking for a way to root the 2.2 OTA update. Not for a 2.2 that has been rooted already. 2 different fish to fry
I have never rooted my phones (HTC Hero now HTC EVO) but after I the update on my phone, it added Blockbuster and Nova to my phone and I can't delete either. And Nova is not even the full game, its a limited version and asks me to buy the full one.
So I would like to root my phone if possible to remove this bloatware crap.
Do I have any options via a one click method that will allow me to root and do this with a permanent root effect?
Thanks,

no one clicks. look in the dev forum for the fly like a kite method though. easy enough.
UnrEVOked is releasing their new version for hboot 2.02 versions very soon.
heh and we just got the new 2.10 hboot. are they compatible? probably not. if htc is going to take the time to update, it is going to have some new features.
Ack! I didn't know that updated the HBOOT too.... *grumbles about accepting update*

^Seriously...I've been trying to find a quick root guide, but the quick root guides are not so quick lol. In order to know what you are doing, you have to do so much research to know what the heck they are talking about. I used to do customer ROMs and crap all the time with my Touch Pro 2 Windows mobile phone, it was SOOO much easier. And this is coming from a Sprint Service Tech, I've been messing with phones for quite awhile...
Personally, i just started all this root & mod stuff recently. Its interesting but very time consuming. Like you said the method may be quick but we have to do an hr's worth of reaseach to make it make sense 1st....
**Headache.....i know**
Again, i am offering a step by step walkthrough. Macs too in case those pc methods have you stumped. People deserve root! Heh. No but seriously, I will help...
Hi i have a mac with HTC evo 3.70 need root please help

I HAVE A THEORY THAT REQUIRES NO ADB WHATSOEVER AND I NEED TESTERS! pm or email me and i will tell you what i plan. it is as simple as using rom manager to pull a fast one on z4root then using unrevoked forever. PLEASE HELP MY CAUSE...
Have no fear guys...the new Unrevoked should be out soon. The developers have been updating their twitter page daily...and their updates look promising
www.twitter.com/unrevoked
This new update is said to work with software version 3.30 as well as the new OTA 3.70.
I'm also too chicken to try the multi-step method so I'm just patiently waiting for the new Unrevoked to be released
I'm right up there with you. Successfully rooted my hero (adb) although I'm still not sure what I was doing. I'm still trying to get all the clockwork, RA recovery stuff clear in my head, and now I'm trying to root my new evo with 3.70 ota. The new headache begins!

Read those threads its not hard... Thats how I rooted this evo... I got it when it 1st came out. Manual was the only way. Even if could have used something like simple root I would have done it manualy.
As far as I know that is your option right now.

The only root for 3.70 right now is the manual one. No unrevoked no auto root. Come back in a few weeks if that's what you're looking for.

I agree.... plus, you get to learn 1 or 2 things (if you care).
I am in the same exact boat. I tried what I thought was the manual way but that didn't work. I then tried a couple of auto root options that of course didn't work. I wonder if I tried a different manual root method than you all are refering to? Can someone link me to the exact manual method please? I prefer the manual way myself, it just didn't seem to work for me. Is it possible that the latest ota update put a stop to the manual method as well? Can anyone confirm they have used said method on said version, successfully? Sorry for the long post, anxious to get a new rom put on this phone and unlock it's real potential. Thanks allot everyone!

Not ready yet.
I've been looking for a while about rooting the Evo 4G 2.3.3. It's not possible yet. You can try the downgrade and such, but it won't work (tried it). Just stay on this site and check the boards every few days. Once it's possible, thee will be a massive sound around the world of cheers and other....unsightly....sounds.
My friend isn't tech savvy so he had me try to root his on the ota update, so i tried gingerbreak and it sat there for at least 30 minutes not doing anything.

I purchased a launcher pro license also, but I'm finding that I like GO Launcher EX and most of the GO Dev team's apps better. It's far more customizable and bacon-y.

some people with your version were rooted prior to the new software upgrade so that is why you see them rooted. Right now you have to wait and believe me when it is rooted you will know and no need to ask anymore. Keep checking Develpment section.

Yes, you are able to acheive root through flashing a pre-rooted rom but aside from that, no, you cannot get root just by re-rooting. S-off just means the security flags are off for your device meaning the boot loader doesn't discriminate files. As long as it's PC36IMG.zip you should be good to go. If you want an appropriate way to flash roms, I suggest looking at twrp. It's sexy as hell and I love the red rum theme for it.
It's the first themable recovery, and it looks great. Then you can look at getting cm7 or any other rom you want regardless if you want AOSP or Sense.

Thanks. I remember when I took OTA update and thought that I was screwed, but only to find I was S-off. There was a thread where I flashed amon ra recovery and was able to flash a custom rom (mikmik). I went back stock and have not messed around with my EVO (other phones and tablets Lol). Just been out the EVO loop lately and was not sure if flashing amon recovery was the preferred method still.
Going to take a look at the recovery you suggested and give it a go. I'm just so use to cwm. Even having amon was a different feel for me.
The dual core processor is probably the difference other than that is the same crap and I forgot to mention about the 3d camera its horrible!! Htc said you don't need glasses I just a video for a few seconds and got dissy it doesn't make any sense about the whole 3d deal. And also why would they lower the megapixel of the camera specially if your going to have a 3d phone? I think no body is able to use the 3d feature because of the quality
