Ok I just rooted my Evo not too long ago and I'm interested in the CyanogenMod 6.. now my question is, do I just have to download the mirror where it says 6.0.0 supersonic and follow the steps or do I need to download any other part for this root?

Now I just rooted with the newest root that came out for the 2.2. Where I had 2 downgrade to 2.1. I know I used unrevoked forever.. how do I know if I have nand unlocked?

Use unrevoked forever then go to hboot.. phone off power + volume down button till hboot is up. Check on top left to see s-on or s-off. Itlf it says s-off you are good to go and nand unlocked..

My buddies EVO has never been rooted and he got the GB OTA. He wants to go to CM7. His bootloader says S-off so I don't know why I can't install superuser.
Oh, I searched dont cop a 'ttude
His phone is rooted, but the ROM doesn't have superuser privileges. Download a rooted 2.3 version and install it for superuser privileges. Flash AmonRa as a PC36IMG if need be

Wait whoa just read that. He has never rooted his phone, but it says S-Off? And if it is S-Off, just flash AmonRa and go to the CM7 thread and download it and flash it.

How could that be how could he have s-off and never have been rooted?
Is that possible?

Got to admit he is right how is that possible. Sounds like it was rooted and had unrevoked forever then he updated. Why he updated is another story but like you were told just run Amon PC36IMG file and flash away
Try z4root

so i just went threw and attempted to room my evo 4g with unrevoked says failed due to to new of firmware? need help please
I'm guessing that you have a newer or updated evo 4g that is running Gingerbread 2.3.3. Unrevoked won't get you rooted. You need to use Revolutionary to root. There are many threads on how to do it. It's very easy and only takes 5 minutes.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
ok thanks basicly same process?
Idk I've never used Unrevoked. All you do is go to their website, put in your phones serial number to get a beta Key. Install their program, extract their program, plug your phone in to computer, run the program, type in the beta Key exactly as it is, and let it do its thing and bam you're rooted.

Make sure you have debugging checked

Also makes sure your phone has a good charge on the battery. Rooting through Revolutionary is very simple but find a thread that explains it and follow those steps exactly.

I just used the revolutionary.io method
It is very simple if you just follow the tutorial

I am finally ready to root. I want to root for one purpose only......wifi hotspot. I know it has risk, but I'm eligible for an upgrade so worst case scenario.....I'll upgrade. I really don't want to, though.
Soo......I really don't want to try this if the risk is too great for bricking. But if the risk is minimal, then could someone tell me the best step by step guide out there? I'm not that savvy but follow directions well.
I have the very first EVO 4g that came out on June 4, 2010. I have upgraded to 2.3.5 ota. Baseband version 2.15.00.12.19, kennel version 2.6.35.10
Build number 4.67.651.3 XL239674 with software number 4.67.651.3. PRI version 2.33_003, PRL version 60687
Imho its hard to brick your evo and if all you want to do is use it for tether I wouldnt bother with the s-off process untill u get more advance in rooting..here's an awesome guide by captian_throwback make sure u think him

Bricking is actually difficult to do unless your screwing around with your system lol. Its actually quite simple. After you root, you download a ROM(Its basically a UI and how the phone works) and then you Flash it(install it). Youl have a lot of terms to learn lol
I finally rooted mine today for the first time with 2.3.5 and h-boot 2.18 and I used HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader and I must say that it was a pain in the butt. I got it unlocked and tried using the PC36IMG.ZIP to install a Amon RA Recovery and it kept telling me that the main version is newer or something like that. I ended up having to use fastboot to flash the recovery image. Then after installing recovery I had to use the option in recovery to install superuser (really glad that was there)
Then after all that I found the thread using revolutionary plus to root h-boot 2.18 which I'm sure would have made it a lot easier.
I too just wanted root for one reason, to remove bloatware

You should first check your bootloader to see which root method you need.
I have 2.18

rowity and
I'm currently using hboot 2.10.0001 with radio 2.15.00.11.19, I was using hboot hboot 2.18.0001 I read that I could downgrade my hboot to 2.10.0001 that way I can use unrevoked3 to root the phone. I followed all the instructions and used the boot unlocker from htcdev.com to unlock the bootloader and use captain throwbacks method. When I installed the pc36img.img from captain throwbacks guide it seemed to mess everything up. I don't have a custom recovery but I should have one at this point right? I am so confused. I have s-off but it says I don't have root. I did have HTC sync installed when I tried to root it the first time and it failed so I had to uninstall HTC sync.
I can't remember but shouldn't it be "PC36IMG.zip"..? Been a while since I rooted my phone.

Your radio is too new for unrevoked u need to bump your hboot up to 2.16 and use revolutionary.io I don't know any way to downgrade the radio with s-on so u can use unrevoked
