Hello everyone I have been surfing these forums for some time and finally want to root but I have some questions and have searched so please I will just take a minute of your time.
First I have a stock evo with all the current up dates. I want to root by unrevoked3 and maybe do the forever part also, but the outer cover part on my camera is cracked and my camera doesn't look good anymore and I am also getting a good amount of dust under my screen so I am thinking about gettin my evo replaced.
So here are my questions.
Would I be able to get my evo replaced with out going through insurance because my screen has dust under it, but since my camera is cracked I feel like they would say it is damaged and make me pay.
Would I be able to unroot my phone so I can get it replaced even if I do the forever part. I feel like the answer is yes but I haven't been able to find a 100% clear answer.
And finally I want the hulu app on my phone but I am not 100% sure I need to forever my phone for that app.
Thank you all for your time.
Unrevoked forever is included in unrevoked 3.21. With that said yes you can unroot you will just need to flash the s-on tool from the unrevoked web site prior to unrooting. Now as far as unrooting im not sure if there are any changes to the unroot process since you have the 3.29 ota update. I know for sure it can be unrooted but unfortunatly the pc36img zip that dj re3z posted if for 3.26.
Edit: from what I have read over at android central on the unroot sticky there is a link to grag the latest pc36img that should work with the ota.
I thank you for your reply but I am a little confused on what you are talkig about.
I know that you can unroot from stuff that is provided on unrevoked's website and now I realise my question wasn't very clear but I mean that if I root my phone it breaks the warranty but if I unroot it is there a way sprint can tell that it was rooted and tell me I don't have a warranty and have to pay. Incase I ever want to get a warranty replacement. (If I even can regarding my first question)
To answer your question yes if you unroot Sprint will have no idea you were rooted prior. But what I was trying to let you know is that from what I've read the new ota (3.29) can not be unrooted as of yet that I know of.
From what u r describing i can almost garantee u they will refuse to replace it for free. I sugguest u avoid all that nonsense and just report the phone lost and pay the 100 to have it replace.

@warpkgb
okay now I under stand thank you. Now I will not be rooting, I did not know you couldn't unroot the newest ota.
@ eusthebest
I have been out of town for a while now but am heading back soon and once I do k will go to the sprint store up there cause here is a very helpful guy that works there and I will try and talk him into replacing my evo if he wont then I'll do what you said.
Thanks guys
I really wouldnt bother going in there, if they see the damage and think you did it they will note it in the system. This will look very funny to them when a day or two from now you call and say you "lost" the phone. Just my 2 cents

Ive searched and couldnt find my answer...
I made the mistake in updating my evo yesterday when I recieved it in the mail, thinking I wouldnt root it and just run launcher pro, etc. Now with the battery life and wanting to run baked snack, im lookin to root my phone. Does anybody know a method of rooting 2.2 froyo updated phone? Or do I have to take the long route and downgrade, then root? TIA
you are kind of sol right now. there has been no word of a process for rooting froyo from ota
As of right now, you just set and wait...no root for froyo yet.

Another one!
You are stuck with what you have. No known ways to root yet, and it will probably be a long wait until it's cracked.

I feel you on this. I received a replacement Evo in the mail (as my current one, which is rooted, has screen separation issues)... but I took the 2.2 OTA update after seeing that the replacement had an Epson screen and thinking I was going to return it and get a new replacement. I asked them to send me a new replacement, because I didn't want an Evo with an Epson panel, but they won't. So, I'm stuck with stock unless I decide to just return it and keep my current rooted one.
Here's to hoping for a 2.2 root method...hell I'll put a bounty on it if I have to!
+1 on that bounty.

Without a big debate, why don't you want the Epson screen? Just want to hear your reason I'm just being curious.
since no oen else pointed out there is no way to downgrade currently either for Evo, so yuo dont really have an option besides wait.
there has been lucks now with going to repair centers and asking them
Question About unrEVOked Forever and the S Protection on/off....
Is there any reason to actually use it? My phones fully rooted, NAND is unlocked etc so do I really need it? I mean I know I can do everything I need to do now but what was the purpose of turning S Protect on and off? I read the thread, I saw what it said about being able to flash official updates but then still being able to go back to rooted ones but WHY is this important?
I'm just trying to understand WHY I may or may not want to do this and what ill affects it might have down the road.
Unrevoked currently permanently unlocks/roots the phone. While it is conceivable that Sprint/HTC might patch this exploit in the future, the prevailing sentiment is that they won't because it would break the legitimate Evo engineering phones.
What it does is unlock the phone at a level below the radio and normal hboot/rom process. So, if you take an OTA update in the future, you may lose root on that new rom, but you will still be unlocked and so can reinstall the custom recovery and root.
This currently is a permanent unlock with no known way to relock it and no promise/guarantee that it will ever be reversible. So, you have permanently voided your warranty for the ability to hopefully never lose root in the future.

So what your saying is... If I ever need to file an insurance claim on my phone, it's best that it falls into a lake.
Here is another question then.
Can Sprint/HTC force an OTA on you that would kill the current root? If not then there really isn't any reason to use unrEVOked right now for me, I know not to take official OTA's. I know it would have been handy for some people, the ones who took the official OTA 2.2 like idiots because they couldn't wait. Look what being impatient got them! I knew when it dropped it was bad news. Hell, I'm still on Fresh Rom 1.0.1 (Eclair 2.1, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. You know what I mean?
Well, I DID try a couple rooted 2.2 ROMS but I knew to wait is what I was saying. Being in a rush can come back to bit you in the ass sometimes, like it did for some many. Guess my only concern is forced updating by Sprint. Never heard of such a thing but you never know. If that was even a remote possibility, turning the protection lock off could be a good thing I guess.
Hey everyone.
So I have finally decided that the dust being under my evo's screen has gotten annoying enough to where i want to get it cleaned. Problem is that i'm rooted. My question here today is that will flashing a barebones stock rooted sense rom and removing the superuser app be enough to get by the sprint repair techs? I really don't want to have to unroot and then turn s-on.

Any input?
Nobody can really say if it's enough or not. It's a gamble. I used a ruu for mine and put everything back to stock. I also removed my sd card because I had read about someone taking their phone in and the tech saw on the card there was root related stuff on there. The guy must have did something or the tech was an ass because he said they refused to fix it and flagged his account that it's a rooted phone.
If you can run the autoroot method, then it's not difficult to do. The script does all the dirty work for you.
If you were too lazy to put everything back to stock and they found out, you would be kicking yourself in the ass for not being more thorough. I'm not trying to be a **** or insult you. I'm saying better being safe than sorry.
If the tech discovers tampering, and they are a ****, then it's all over for your hopes to get it fixed man. Good luck
Here is where I got the one I used before taking it in. I got version 3.70 at the bottom.

Agreed
I agree with the hammer. It isn't that hard to unroot your phone at all, it should only take 15 minutes or so. I have heard of some Sprint tech's being cool, and working on a phone regardless of whether it was rooted or not. I have also read of people being given a hard time, and even having their account red flagged. There is no way of knowing if you will get a cool tech, that won't care, or a guy that takes his job too seriously and plays by allt he rules. Due to it being such an unpredictable outcome, I would recommend just unrooting before going in. If you rooted with unrevoked, flash their S-on tool in recovery, then RUU back to stock, or run a PC36IMG of a stock rom through the bootloader. If you never ran unrevoked or unrevoked forever, I don't think you need to flash the S-on tool, just running the RUU should turn your S-on. Once it's all fixed up, use one of the many root methods available, and it'll be like a clean start!
I appreciate both responses and am just gonna run with the unreveoked s on since that's how I rooted. My nands should still be good though correct?

As long as you end up with the same phone (which you surely will). You just don't really want to interchange nandroid backups between different phones, as you run the risk of over writing your RSA keys. If you do, you need to remove the wimax.img from the nandroid backup before running it. And one more thing. Not to be paranoid, but I've seen someone get screwed from it...you should remove anything from your sd card that is related to rooting, flashing, etc. I've seen a guy report of getting his account redflagged and service was refused, because the tech found ROMS, kernels, mods, and other stuff on the sd card. That was supposedly enough evidence of rooting to red flag the account. Surely that is unlikely, but you never know. So it may not hurt to copy your sd card to your computer, then format the card before bringing it in. Or just taking the sd card out all together before you bring it in. Take it for what its worth, and good luck on getting your screen fixed!
I gave the advice that probably 99.9% will get you to where you need to be to safely get it fixed or replaced. It is up to you if you do or do not want to take a chance with a modded phone.
Hello,
I used to be a Service an Repair Area Manager. In the MI area.
I personaly did not care if the phone was rooted or not, being the screen is just dirty I personaly would have never even looked at software.
If Your really worried about your sprint tech's looking into things its also not hard to just take the digitiser off and clean it yourself, let me know if you want to know how to get it done.

Non-software related issues do not warrant checking software. If you bring a rooted device into my store for hardware issues, I probably won't even check it. And if I do notice, it's not a problem since hardware != software.
Now if you come into my store complaining that your device is freezing, camera isn't working, etc and you're a jerk when I say it could be the root or ROM, then I'll flag your account.
All in all, if you're having software problems on a root device, don't take it to Sprint. Hardware is still a go.

Hahaha! Not this time. But nice try. Hopefully u understand that it is a gamble and there is no real answer. It just depends on the tech and the actual store. My lcd was replaced and I was worried because I couldn't unroot mine without a display. Turned out they fixed it no questions asked. I got lucky. Some people don't. It is either rooted or not no matter how far u customize. And they either care or don't.

I went by the print store today to ask about getting my screen replaced. the guy I talked with said that for a hardware fix it wouldn't matter if I were rooted.
But they couldn't put my phone on any kind of blacklist or anything could they? I'd rather not waste the time unrooting if I don't have to.
Thanks

Sprint will work on rooted phones for hardware issues. It's internal policy for them now as of recently. I confirmed this with my local Sprint repair store.
They may work on them, but they may also take note of the fact that you're rooted in case you have software problems. Takes 10 min, just make a backup before you do, so when you root again, easy to get back to where you were.
Do not unroot your phone to take to sprint. Ive had 2 screen rep;acements and many other replacements rooted. And that was before the alleged new policy regarding root. Used to be, they would say (after fixing), 'yeah, as long as you atleast try to make it look stock, thats all good'.
But apparently/allegedly now, even obvious root is ok. I'd still flash a stock theme
Why are there so many threads about this? people no searchy?
thanks for the info.

I took my Evo's for screen repairs, speaker phone repair and battery issues many times, all while having MIUI flashed. No one ever said anything to me.
Sprint people didn't even know what it was. I just said "oh I downloaded a new theme."
I thought rooting was not illegal anymore. Maybe it depends on the technician you speak with. Some are cool, some are not. I say unroot just to be safe. Thank god for easy rooting practices...
screen fix and root
I think it all depends on what store you are taking it into, i took my rooted phone in and had the screen replaced no issues,
1) I rooted my EVO 4G using the following method: "How to Root the HTC EVO 4G with Froyo 2.2 [Video Walkthrough]"
2) I flashed many ROMs, but finally settled on CM7 (7.0.3.1 currently).
3) got excited that the official GB ota was available, so UNROOTED (back to S-ON)using "[GUIDE] How to Unroot the EVO in 2 STEPS"
4)Finally, i installed the OTA today.
MY PROBLEM:
I cant get back to Root & CM!!! there is not much help for this, ive been googling but cant find a method that will root my evo from S-ON/gingerbread (2.3.3)...or even back to Froyo...so that i can root and get back on CM.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS????
i just wanted to play around and see what the officail GB was like (knowing that i would LOSE root, not knowing that i wouldnt be able to GET BACK to root), and now im stuck in STOCK im desperate for all me settings, apps, and WAY OF LIFE with CM.
HELP!!!

You cant root. You ****ed up. The new bootloader is locked so root has to be updated to work with it. Everyone said DONT UPDATE.
Sent from my......ummm...let me get back at'chya!
There are a couple of threads on the topic. Basically, with S-On, you are out of luck, and need to wait for a new rooting method. For future reference, no need to unroot to get the OTA upgrade. Either wait the day (3 hours in this case) for a rooted version, or just flash the OTA version. So long as you keep S-Off, you are OK for flashing ROMs and stuff.
Probably gonna be awhile because HTC waited until the gingerbread root methods were patched before releasing the update. Honestly, I'm impressed that they did that. It means they are paying attention to security holes and actually fixing them.
Your best option was to wait it out because rooted versions of the ota were being created. I find that better because you can just flash it to check it out and restore back when your done.

Why do you geniuses keep taking ota's when you are already rooted?????? Seriously every update it is the same thing. Just flash the rooted version of the update. All you had to do was wait a couple of hours for it to be uploaded to xda. Maybe its for he best if the people who made this mistake yet again never be able to root.

Thanks....yes I made a mistake but I've only had my EVO, or any Android for that matter, for a couple of months so I think I've been doing pretty well until now with no help...just researching myself online and in the forums.
This was the first ota that came out since I rooted...now i have learned what not to do...and didn't know that the rooted versions pop up so quickly...hopefully they will release a new ota with the bootloader unlocked...and soon
Ps....I'm a girl. (Bobbi Linn)
Oh...noticed amazing battery life so far being stuck in stock...which is a plus!

So are you thinking that the refurbished phone will have a newer firmware? I don't know about that but it doesn't seem to make sense....is that some thing like asurion would do? And if you do get a new snazzy updated phone are you promising to donate your time to the cause??? Lol
