hello,
This might be nood request I just rec my replacement phone in that has 2.2 after no 4g issue with my rooted 2.1
question
1. In 2.1 the toast (easy) way of rooting was the best way with nandroid that work best on all custom roms. unrevoked had issues from my understanding.
2.what is best
unrevoked 3.2
or
How to root Android 2.2 on the EVO 4G
or
??????
3. which one way is the best way to unroot if need be to return to stock.
Thank you in advance I am looking into aVa v7 or virus series roms after I root 2.2 what is the best?
The how to root one uses unrevoked also. Its easy and unrevoked released how to put security back on the phone if need to be. Unrevoked 3 roots and unrevoked forever nand unlocks the phone. Give it a try. Don't be afraid..

I still do not like using unrevoked for root.
I did the beginning steps in "How to root 2.2" to downgrade to 2.1. After that, I just used Toast's method for root and NAND unlock.
It's all personal preference.
If you go this route, you do not need to download any of the unrevoked files in the 2.2 thread.

I unrevoked my EVO and am now gonna root with damagecontrol. Do I have to remove unrevoked first then root with damagecontrol? Or can I root over unrevoked. I never rooted so Im backing up all data and giving it a go.
a good place for this will be the evo forum
DamageControl is a ROM, not a root method. You need to root with Toast's method to install custom ROMs.
Read through the links provided here (click) to find root, custom ROMs, etc.
you do not need to uninstall the unrevoked app to root your phone, i rooted right over it. since unrevoked is a joke anyways lol.

it's handy for some people, say those who are returning their phone soon and don't want to deal with un-rooting it when they have to, or those who are too scared to actually root.
It's just an app, doesn't matter what you do
shouldnt be a problem, just restart the phone and ur phone shouldnt be rooted anymore since once you reset thats it.. then root according to toasts method
Basically I'm new to the Android world. Just upgraded to an Evo4G from a good ol' WinMo 6.5 phone. What I want to do is simply root my Evo so I can take advantage of root-only apps, but keep the stock Sprint Froyo ROM with Sense UI.
Thanks a lot in advance. Much appreciated.

Root your phone with unrevoked from unrevoked.com.
Then flash the rom from here:

Everything will be exactly the same, except you will have root and access to any program you would like.

to clarify, if you root your phone with unrevoked 3.21, it ONLY gives you root access and sets s-off. this means you still have your stock 2.2 rom.
the link provided above is the new OTA update. while you can install that, it's not necessary.
you should be able to do all the OTA's then unrevoked/forever.
no need to flash any other rom.
I'm ready to root and I've been reading and reading and reading and reading and I just don't understand how to root. I need a dummy proof way a step by step system to get this done. I know that my hboot is 0.97.0000. Someone please help me. I ready just need a more detailed root method. Thanks
Try this and skip the ota if you want to keep 0.97. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever You can later flash the latest ota ruu in recovery
Unrevoked Forever doesn't root the phone. It does NAND unlock (S-OFF) which allows you to flash custom ROMs.
You said your HBOOT is 0.97, so you can probably use Unrevoked 3.21/3.22 one click root to root your phone.

Is there any reason for me to update my already rooted 2.2 Evo to the latest just to update? Do I get anything out of it?
If so, where can I get the original PC36IMG.zip to flash? Thanks.
If you're satisfied with the way your device is performing then no, there is absolutely no reason to upgrade. Having said that, if you want to see how newer roms look and perform on your rooted device then yes, you should upgrade from 2.2.

Any idea where or how I would get that original zip file and go from rooted to non-root?

No need to unroot and re root. That is just plain stupid. If you want the features of 2.3 flash a 2.3 based Rom.

I think your question is more around whether the new root method gives you a "better" root than the original, or if it "updates" something. In this situation, no. You're either S-OFF or you're S-ON. If you'd rooted with the old methods and you're S-OFF, there's nothing gained by re-rooting with revolutionary.
Just sleep better at night knowing that if you ever need a replacement, it can be rooted!

If you're on 2.2 (Froyo) and already rooted, you can simply get a new rom with the latest Gingerbread kernel included and flash it (recommend doing Nandroid and app backups first).
MikG 2.45 is a nice sense-based rom which has is gingerbread (2.3.3) and incorporates the new sense 2.1 and some 3.0 widgets. Very nice, just follow Mik's recommendations for installation (wipe everything but SD card) for first install.

I apologize for any redundancy but I am letting you know of this because i went through this whole process about a month ago and I want make sure you don't have to go through the headache that I did. Keep in mind that you must use Unrevoked 3.22 It Will Not work if you try to use 3.32 or any other later version. Also note that this must be done after downgrading your device to android version 2.2 (froyo) because 2.3.4 patches the exploits that unrevoked uses to flash CWM. Good luck and happy rooting!
