[Q] HTC EVO 4G 2.2 Root

Hi:
I am having a bit of a problem trying to root my new HTC evo.
My hardware info is:
Hardware Version: 0004
Baseband version: 2.15.00.09.01
Software #: 3.30.651.3
Everytime I try to root it. It tells me something that it couldn't update because the version I had on my phone was older version. I think that's what it said.
is there any way to root my phone?
Please let me know.
Thanks!
i am having the same problem...
nothing i have tried has worked at all so far
find 2.2 s-off thread in this section and follow steps closely. if you still are unsuccessful post in THAT thread.
ps this thread should not be in the development section, read the rules
Thread moved to Q&A.
i cannot find the thread your talking about...
its because the software on your phone is prolly 3.30 like mine since they are new or have been updated
find unrevoked on twitter and you can fallow them
there last post was
3.30 Evo folks -- XDA has a solution for you in the interim; we'll package it up nice and clean when we get a break from work & school.

I looked through that. People are saying it works and it doesn't. I have 2 Evo's one is rooted, and the other one I bought last night for a friend and he won't root. Is there any way to do it for his evo? Said Main folder is older or something.

I'm sorry if I'm going off topic here but you got your stock phone with 3.30? I thought that was the unofficial leaked update.
Not sure I bought it off craigslist brand new. Is that why the root isn't working? is there a way to bring it down an update?
Thanks for all the help!

Im going to look at page 120. from page 120 and after everyone seems to say it worked. how do I find out the Hboot Vers?

Turn off your phone. Hold VOL DOWN + POWER till you load into Bootloader. It should be listed at the top on the second line.
but I have 3.30 and 0004 will it still work?
tigercranestyle said:
not sure what you mean by "unofficial leaked version". page 120 in that link referenced is a simplified way performing the original instructions in that thread. my stock evo indeed was 3.30 and 003. instructions were very easy to follow.

Many people are still stuck on 3.29 with no OTA coming out for 3.30. While some people are saying they have 3.30 stock from Sprint so some people aren't sure whether its official or unofficial.
There is a 3.30 ROM that was leaked from a source to XDA forums a week or so ago. Hence why I said it was unofficial.
3.3 is official...unless the guys at the sprint store are playing jokes on me. I traded in my evo today and received a "fresh" (non-refurb) one that is hardware version 4 and 3.3 software. I am having a WONDERFUL time rooting right now...gonna try the hboot202soff thingy here when it downloads...unrevoked was no dice!

like dude said earlier what hboot do you have? Hold VOL DOWN + POWER till you load into Bootloader if you dont have 2.02 then you can use unrevoked one click root if u have hboot .97 or below. And there are a hundred threads about this
Sorry guys I know I am a pain. I clicked that link and went to page 120. AND everything worked perfectly. thaks for all your help guys!!
I love xda..so great. thanks again!

Is it VZW/Sprint? If so, it might be months until you get it.. that is if they approve of the update anyways. GSM you will get it mid july.. rooted.. you have it right now.

How can I check it? I haven't got even to 4.0.4 so it makes sense for me that I wont be updated..
If I root my phone, will my sms(which arent sycronised) deleted?and what about the rest of my information on the phone? can it damage my phone?
Rooting and flashing ROM's can damage your handset if you don't know what you're doing. Most flashing errors can be erectified though.
Where are you located in the world?
Verizon and Sprint are US based LTE handsets, they arent sold outside the states since they cant work on other LTE networks. Take a picture of your "About phone" page (screenshots can be taken with pressing "Volume down + Power" simultaniously.
Im from Israel.. so its not Verizon probably..
the site doesnt allow me to upload images because im new.. so:
Android Ver:4.0.2

i dont get this update, that what makes me worry.
when I press the' check now' button it ALWAYS says:
your system is updated
last update checked at {this time}
Jellybean isn't officially updated yet mate. You won't get the update for at least two weeks if you have a stock phone. Those of us running it all have rooted phones or were at google i/o and got given jellybean phones.

Have you tried to clear Google framework data and the try to check for updates again?
Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
I understand your confusion. A Nexus phone should get the update as soon as possible.
I just updated my phone yesterday, thanks to efrant how to guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170&highlight=yakjuzs
the problem is so many builds, I learned that yakju build is directly supported by google. However, today I learned that the build takju got the Jellybean update. Question what about the rest, yakjuux, yakjuzs, yakjujp.....etc.? I don't know, only android team knows the update process, so I hope they post something about that in google+, but I doubt that.
We have to wait, either get it OTA(which my never happen) or flash the update manually as soon google post the update URL's specified for your phone build.
If you have quadrant standard installed you can see your build under system information.

[Q] strange idea! would it work

Since Verizon is several updates behind on the CDMA nexus. I read an article that said it was possible to update to 4.2. Using the unlocked version of the the software. Any thoughts
What do you mean? You want to install a 4.2 stock ROM on your CDMA VZW GNEX?
If so, are you new?

please wait for VZW to update your device's software.
I'm gonna but I saw the idea on an article and just wondered if it'd work. I'm fairly new to xda the Gnexus is my 2nd android coming from an HTC incredible 1
Yessir, you can have 4.2 on the VZW Gnex. Problem is, if you have to ask.
Go to the VZW dev forum, read the stickies, read them all. Find a 4.2 ROM, read at least the first few pages of the thread. If you have developed an understanding of all that you need to do to get 4.2, then good luck. If you read and still do not understand, then you need to keep reading until you do. If you keep reading and still do not understand, then you will want to just wait until it's made available OTA.
I got pretty good understanding of the process need to put a ROM on it. I'm gonna wait for the ota though. I'm pretty satisfied with 4.1 stock with an unlocked bootloader

Advice on Root and Lollipop

I was pretty excited for Lollipop to come out, but I didn't know I wasn't able to receive the OTA if I had rooted. I've been getting the attached screen. So, I'm trying to update it through Kies, but I'm not seeing the US version out yet. Will the tablet even update if it's rooted? Should I just go for a 5.0 ROM? Which would be the best? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I forgot to specify: I have the 8.4 (T700). :-/
Only Korea is available at the moment.
