I would read through the faq and you shall find your answer young jedi.
Long story short. Not yet. It's in the works. Keep checking back periodically ( I think I dispelled that ).

I originally thought Unrevoked Forever had solved this problem, but you still need a custom recovery. So you're still waiting for an exploit, sorry.

Funny thing another guy just post the same question in the general thread. New guys need to search more....

no way jose

Hungry Hungry Hippoooo!

ok I'm sorry guys. I will work on doing that before posting. Thanks

Has anyone tried the CyanogenMod for the EVO?

I was thinking about installing this mod. I saw it running very smoothly on an HD2 dual-boot a friend of mine has.
Is there anyone running the latest version of this image? If so are there any hardware issues? Does the 4G still work? Does it make coffee now?
Thanks,
Nick
I don't think you'll have much luck here. I don't think anyone around here is running cm on their EVO's. Is he even working on a version for the EVO?

It's okay, just do the 2.2 OTA and then root from there. I think it's pretty painless, I know there's a thread about it somewhere . . . can't find it right now.

Thanks Laydros,
My friend just told me that his HD2 just went to sleep and he had to reboot so it is surely not stable yet on the HD2. I would still be willing to try it on my EVO if anyone else has tried it first.
The UI looks pretty nice with a draggable menu at the bottom for multiple home row buttons.

yeah i know right? lol
i think what you have to do is flash a 2.2 rom, and while its installing, yank the battery. this will take you to the froyo debug screen and ask if you want to flash a cyanogen mod.
edit: ok that was a joke, I have to say that because I know there are people that will try it! sorry...

I like how on your 2nd post, after making what has to be in the top 5 mind boogling stupid questions I have seen on here, you act like you really did ask a valid question.
Don't tell me you are a nuclear scientist, I won't believe it. I would need credentials.

I thought you were supposed to flush it around the toilet bowl for five minutes pull it out of the water and magic. Totally automated installation.

So explain to me how my question was stupid? I got a response from you apparently. Do you make a habit of flexing your intelligence on "stupid" postings?
This could very well make you a stupid person.
Read! Have you even looked at any posts at all here? Or did you just post your question and only focus on it? Seriously man, you are getting bashed here sooooo bad. Take ten seconds and look at other posts, either here in q and a or in the development section. Just trying to save you some pain.

The question is somewhat puzzling.
I thought it was a simple question.
I got every tom **** and harry jumping in to say something. Yet no one can answer the question. Maybe I need to create my own forum just for dumb people like me. O wait a minute XDA beat me to it.

Thanks, I spent five minutes searching. What did you find before you advised me to "READ!" and search?
Don't advise me to search unless you know for sure that I missed something. Your guessing there is a better thread and calling me stupid for not finding it.
Again, has anyone successfully gotten this mod on their EVO? If there is another thread talking about Cyanogen Mod 6 on EVO then direct me.
Dude, there's a thread in development dedicated to the RC with thousands of replies. I think we can all safely say that at least one other person has tried it. The water is safe. Hop in, but don't forget your life jacket. I'm sure you'll need it.
And before you complain that we're not helpful... no, the 4G doesn't work. Your mms may not work either.

[Q] Rooting HTC Evo with Froyo

Hey guys, I am looking to root my Evo that is running Froyo. I have absolutely no idea how to do it as I just switched over to Android. Is it possible to root on 2.2? What is the easiest way to do it? How can I back up all my pics,apps,contacts,messages?? Thanks for any help!!!
see here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7738116#post7738116
Damn ok!! That sucks!! I was hoping to get a new theme
smh
dude,, it is not yet possible to root 2.2 .
and to my knowledge not a way to downgrade to 2.1 to get root
Just letting you know before every one flames you.

Dude really, come on thats a lame excuse, you came onto the boards, had a question that needed an answer, most people would say "hey look they have a question and answer forum all setup" and then go use it.
And then right at the top is this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747495
Which states in bold letters "THERE IS NO KNOWN WAY TO ROOT FROYO 2.2", question answered and you never even had to hit the search function.
Your question is "root froyo" try typing that in, get back a crap ton of results.
If your ever in doubt as to what to search for just type in a natural language question, ex: "how do I root 2.2" and you will get an answer.

I dont know if you realized but you wrote the sentence as if you were making a comment and not interpreting it as a question about how to go from 2.2 to Stock 2.1.
Also you posted in the wrong forum. This forum is about Development only and you posted a question. You seem to not have realized that and it is fine Don't expect to get hugs and kisses from your comment when you initially did not read clearly about where to post questions. If you are still confused then maybe you this community is not the place you should be at and you should not modify your phone.
First of all... AWESOME!
There should be a thread on this! Or numerous ones! If there was only a way to find them without looking through every thread manually....

ClockworkMod 3.0.x.x

Ok what does this one fix?
Hopefully fixes the flashing issues people on different hboots are having. I had to restore 2.5.0.1 with the PC36IMG.zip just so I could flash anything at this point. Did anybody else have this many problems with previous 3.0 builds?
i'm having the same problem as you. currently very frustrated
3.0.0.3
im testing as we speak with cm7.will report
It still sucks. I downloaded cm6.2 and it flashed it but refused to flash the gapps that were downloaded along with the rom. Sucks. Starting to regret donating
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Issues out the ying-yang with all the 3.0.x.x builds. I went through Koush's site and found all the files for Clockwork.
Here is the image you can flash through fastboot...
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-supersonic.img
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-supersonic.img
Here is the flashable .zip. Should be able to flash this through the borked recovery. If not, use the above.
http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.2-supersonic.zip
Here is the page that I got these from. There are more versions in there too...

I think he's implying the proper area in said "forum".....this should definitely be in General!
Thanks -viperboy-. I have flashed back to 2.5.0.1 and all is working. I'm just curious what the newest version is changing. I'm sure they are seeing and reading about all the problems we've been having with the newest update. Which, by the way, is the reason that I posted this post here. It will obviously be seen by more eyes. Hopefully the right eyes.
We need a definitive answer to all these questions. We need to hear from ClockworkMod what versions we should use on what devices.
Have you checked his thread for clockworkmod? You would probably get a lot more responses posting in q&a instead of cluttering the dev section.

Quick Question....

I know it's supposed to go in Q&A, but.... I know I'd get a quick one time response.
If I want to undervolt, do I need to install a kernel other than the stock one in order to do so with setcpu or CPUBoost?
Yes, you need a custom undervolted kernel.

Rant:
The bad part about asking in the wrong section is the information isn't available to someone else with the same question "they will be looking in Q&A" which is what the forums are for this also clutters up the forums aside from the fact it makes more work for the mods.
