Why can't EVO. Get rooted?

Why is the newest EVO. So hard to root than other android phones? I had 3.3 and now upgraded to 3.7. Unrevoked doesn't work for it yet. Why is that?

It's a process to find a security hole to achieve root.
That being said, weren't you rooted previously?

That's what you get for not paying attention. Don't ever run an RUU. And this doesn't belong in the development section But I guess that's another symptom of not paying attention

Google is your friend, my friend.
If you have a new Evo you need to use an alternative method to root your phone!! The old methods and UNREVOKED will brick your phone. Here is what you need to know first.
I'm sure there are instructions here at xda to achieve the same thing but I'm not going to search it out for you. This is the method we used for a co-worker's Evo v.003

I never rooted before. And yes I do know that unrevoked worked for the older EVO and not the newer. I was just wondering what would be the cause for it being so difficult to do since other phones seem to get it solved more quickly. But thank you for your responce.

Thanks for being an ass. I ask a simple question based on what I have read, haven't tried to root because of what I read, and get talked to like a kid. I have been a member here for several years and am brand new to android. Thanks for the welcome

HTC is getting better at blocking our rooting methods. That and the update only came out a few days ago, it takes time.

Permanent root

Where's the love for the Inc 2??
Gimme some love.

is this post development related at all? as in is this a rom/mod/kernel/think tank post? no
read through the other threads and posts before making another super awesome thread like this

jmaddox31,
1.) Your post doesn't belong here in the development section. It doesn't really belong anywhere on the site as it has no value.
2.) We're waiting for you to root the device and post procedures on how to do it. You aren't done yet? It only took 2 days for the Thunderbolt. You are pretty lazy for not having it rooted yet.
3.) We are not your trained monkeys and you are not paying anyone (I just checked my Paypal). So go back and quietly sit in the corner.
PS: Mr Clown, could you close & trash this thread, please?

this phone will most likely never be rooted... by software anyhow.. might have to return it for a tbolt.

Why wont it be rooted??

1) we had the thunderbolt for months before the release, we were familiar with it when it was released.
2) We perm rooted it on release day, s-off on day 2.
Thunderbolt was a similar situation, however because we were able to locate firmware vulnerable to scotty2's wpthis exploit, we we able to downgrade, then replace the bootloader.
We don't have this option on inc2, yet.
I have a inc2 eng hboot, and once a way to write it is found, we will have s-off root.

Hey man appreciate all your doing and when root happens it will be awesome. But on a positive note this device has the best battery life since my og Droid. It kills my tbolt in the battery department. Again thanks man.

I would be surprised if a signed ruu dating before ~jan 7 exists.

if raskal comes up with inc2 support i can S-OFF and jcase said he'd help from there getting and RUU and making a recovery.

So that basically means a different exploit must be found then. One that exploits the code that is actually loaded.

Tried it for our phone. I get a "your device not supported at this time" error message.

I didn't figure it would work. Thanks for the reply. Hopefully it ends up doing us some good.

Was intending to attempt some binary hackery but it looks like the binaries are obfuscated. It seems like at this point trying to hide hacks from the manufacturers would be pointless, so I don't really understand why obfuscation would be desired.
I'll jack with it later.

I hope so this would be amazing. just hope they can crack the code!

The software can't be that much different. I don't really know how their hack works so I can't say if they are trying to crack it still or just need some testing.

seems like raskal is having a hard time considering the htc sensation has had support fir a while now and just cmae out.. i just want root i dont care how

It's just a matter of time before Alpharevx saves us. But the real question is... what do I do with this xtc clip? lol

The Sensation doesn't have temp-root, which is needed to develop Alpharevx for the device.

[Q] How Do I downgrade my software on my incredible 2

Is there anyone out there that can help me take my inc2 and downgrade to the stock software so I can root it?

No, not yet. Once you get the Ginerbread update you are out of luck and must wait for a new rootable exploit to be discovered. Both the AlphaRev team and the Unrevoked team as well as others are actively working on trying to find new exploits.
The other choice is to find someone that has a XTC Clip diagnostic device that can be used to gain S-OFF on your device which will then allow you to install a custom recovery and custom rooted ROMs.

There is a number of threads on this. There is no way, as of now, to downgrade. The only way to get root, if you have 2.3.3, is to buy an XTC clip.
Edit..... I type too slow

I don't think anyone is actually trying. I think people just think people are trying. No one has come.out and said "hey. I'm working on it"

The devs don't normally come in these threads and post. Some people would be bugging them for ETAs, or flaming.

If you visit the Revolutionary site, there are a number of links to some of the developers that are working on GB root exploits. With a little investigation into Twitter land, you will see that they are working on several HTC devices. One of the exploits will work on the Desire S, so it is only a matter of time before they figure out how to make it work on the Incredible S/Dinc2, too.

After what happened with the froyo root, I'd be surprised if the root devs ever came into these forums again. They will probably not say anything until they have a working method.

Look in the inc 2 forums at rootzwiki. there's a sticky on downgrading (how to)
Sent from my rooted GB ADR6350

That is only for those with S-OFF via AlpharevX to downgrade back to Froyo and the stock boot loader. You need to be S-OFF and, correct me if i'm wrong, will still be S-OFF after the downgrade. It will not work if you're S-ON with GB, unfortunately.

If I had a few more tools and was more up to date I would do it. Unfortunately I have always relied strongly on the skills of the members here. I know someone will be through here in a bit after the phone has a little more exposure. It looks like we probably do need a few files that are more specific to this device. 1 thing I already noticed is that some variants of this device do not have a notification light.
