So I went on youtube to find out how to root my phone cause I use to hack Ipod touches and psp's, and I wanted to root my phone. Now I went on theunlocker and did the SDK thing and it worked as far as i know. However, is there loader for the root still running. Cause I was reading nbetchers method and I am a noob and very confused. I dont understand most of the steps because to me they seem out of order, so if someone could please help me that would be great.
nevermind. I did the unlockr thing and im running a root now. I got 2.2 running.

I've had my Evo for about 3 weeks now and am now wanting to root now that I see cyanogenmod is coming to Evo. I've rooted my Nexus and G1 with no problems but it seems the Evo is more difficult, what is the easiest way to root my Evo? And would someone be willing to help me with rooting it via IM or something similar?
There are tons of threads in the android development forum to show you how. Not to mention there was a one click root at some point if I am not mistaken, although I have no idea if it still works.

Yea, I've seen all of them and they all seem tedious compared to Nexus rooting. Which is the best method to go about rooting? I want to use Amon RA recovery if that helps. I'd really appreciate if someone could help me too.
Can anyone help?
Simple Root is 3 clicks & you're rooted & nand unlocked. Running win7 x64 & worked great for me.
I was reading up on it, do I need to uninstall HTC sync and the HTC drivers to get it to work??
I believe for unrevoked you need to remove those items ( the last time i checked at v2 ).
Versus Simple Root... I believe those are all required to get it to work.
What Version is your phone it would be much easier to know

Its 1.47.651.1 I'm going to try the 1 simple root method, but just have one question, am I supposed to have it on charge only or disk drive?
Charge-only
Awe crap, I forgot to put flash recovery, was I supposed to do that first or can I do that after step 1 or something???
Ok, so I got to part 4 and it just says starting part 2, thats it, it doesn't do anything more. Did I do something wrong, or....? Please help.
So could someone please help me???????

i am running windows 7 ult. 64.
also, any links where i can get apps that only rooted phones can get?
any help would be great. sorry for the noob questions
Root using Unrevoked. It is the easiest method by far. Once you have root and s-off, you can worry about flashing custom roms. I'm not sure what you mean by "simple root .1" so you may want to post a link to what you tried so we know where you stand.
Also, it'd be easier to help if you provide your phone info as far as which hardware version, what software is on it now, which hboot, etc. If this is all new to you, then read some more and get a better understanding of this before you mess up your phone.
Can you boot your phone normally or is it stuck somewhere?
Simple root it outdated, you can check out the following thread for info on how to root.

I'm really frustrated with my phone since the gingerbread upgrade and i have been looking for links to help me root my Evo, i've heard i need to downgrade or use gingerbreak so i'm confused. If anyone knows and takes the time to provide the links it will be greatly appreciate it.
IM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM DO I USE GINGER BREAK OR DO i need to downgrade FIRST PLZ HELP
Not ready yet.
I've been looking for a while about rooting the Evo 4G 2.3.3. It's not possible yet. You can try the downgrade and such, but it won't work (tried it). Just stay on this site and check the boards every few days. Once it's possible, thee will be a massive sound around the world of cheers and other....unsightly....sounds.
My friend isn't tech savvy so he had me try to root his on the ota update, so i tried gingerbreak and it sat there for at least 30 minutes not doing anything.
Root for GingerBread, EVO

I've done a bit of researching on rooting but most of it has been evasive to me at best.. I can do the typical jailbreak on an iPod, but lets face it, that's pretty easy. I'm looking to root my HTC Incredible and I've seen such word of a ?program? called "Revoked" or "unrevoked"... and I was hoping someone could give me knowledge about that or even better & easier rooting help.
My Incredible is at 2.3.4 and I'm running an HP with windows (I've heard its needed to know that when rooting hahaha)
I'm good at following directions but I'm not the geek of the family; mainly I could use some help as my battery is dying extraordinarily quick even though I have the extended battery,
I also have looked at scotty1223's "root2.3.4,downgrade..." but I cant seem to make much sense of it..
Thanks for your time,

I actually JUST wrote this post to explain how to root in plain English. Let me know if it works for you!

Ok, let me ask you this, are you just wanting root access? if so just do the first and second part of Scotty's method, I did this to my Dinc and got root access, but you have to follow it to a (T) or it wont work, just take your time.
Then I did the the rest of his tutorial which involves alot more time on your pc with a command window and typing things, or you can copy and paste the commands like I did straight from the tutorial.
PM me if you need more help and I will help you....

the dang thing is being a pain! the user met their bandwidth or something -_-
I bought a used lgg3 running 5.0.1 a few weeks ago and i cannot for the life of me figure out how to fix the root on it. I'm not a complete noob, but im not also the most experienced in rooting.
I purchased it for the sole intention of Pokemon Go (little did i know they would shut out root... -.-)
SO, my main question is...
whats the best way to go about fixing this thing without bricking it or screwing it up any further?
There was no SU, no busybox, no anything, but it is rooted, just somehow screwed up. the kid mentioned kingroot, but he said thats all he knows.
Any other information you may need, just let me know and ill get back asap!
I appreciate any help i can get

Flash the stock rom from either here on XDA or with the actual LG updater.
