Not to mention several confirmed bricks
Come on HTC.. messing with our hboot is like messing with our emotions..
I would advise anyone against trying to root a device with the new 2.02 hboot until a method is confirmed safe.
Damnit this is messing with my ability to make money!

Isnt that against your company policy to openly void a warranty of your clients to make a profit? I know at best buy its against our policy but i do it for free so they cant *****.

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.

You need to get a replacement brother. So it was your actual camera. Sprint will probably give you one at no cost if you have insurance. Hmmmm
Yea I think it is man that's what I'm gonna do
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm willing to bet you $100 bucks if you walk in a corporate store and let the tech look at it you'll walk out the store with another device at no cost. Just don't tell them you EVER rooted or tampered with the device in anyway. I would would say "the camera just all of a sudden went out when taking a picture". Sprint reps are usually idiots (no offense to xda sprint reps) but these techs will bite on anything you tell them.
Like which corporate store? And yea Sprint reps are so stupid man

Even if you don't have insurance you get a one year warranty anyways, I'd just walk in there anyways and make them swap it out. Just handle the situation good man, I've had about 2 evos lol (not my fault). Just go in there and at least act like you know what you're talking about; conversation rules the nation!

Did you unroot and flash a stock rom or did you merely unroot keeping a custom rom & kernel in check? If it is the latter, I would have suggested that you flash a different kernel. The ONLY time I had problems with the camera was with kernels that my device didn't play well with. If it is the former, then take your device to the Sprint store and attempt to get a replacement device.
Ohhh hell yea I'm going tomorrow

I was under the impression that when you unrooted you ran the ruu lol. If you haven't ran the official htc 3.70 ruu you should do that man. You will need to already have htc sync on your computer. If you do this and still have cameras problems I'd get a replacement.
Here's the link to the official ruu, it will bring your phones completely back to stock.
http://goo-inside.me/supersonic/sto...15.00.11.19_NV_1.90_release_161482_signed.exe
But how ima do that if I'm unrooted already? I unrooted my phone using the Unrevoked method
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The unrevoked just put you S-ON, it didnt unroot you. You need to run a RUU, either via your PC or through the bootloader, the bootloader would be easiest for you. Search for unroot thread, should be able to find the ZIP right away.

I'd run the ruu anyways just for peace of mind. It can't hurt anything at all its just a windows exe program you run to update your rom to factory image.
Just rename this file to PC36IMG.zip and flash in hboot like cordell said.

Can you post the link of the method you used, if I'm not mistaken as cordell stated above I will only put s-on. You still need to ruu. What rom are you on? Can you go into settings and check what kernel you have?
In the Unrevoked method I have another file named PC36IMG.zip so what I'm gonna do, download that one anyways?

Oh yeah lol. Well Delete that one you already have, then you will have to download the one I posted, rename it, then put on root of sdcard and flash in hboot? Before you do all that do you mind telling me what kernel you have? Don't list all the letters just tell me what # and what's at the end.
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.

How long do you think it will take for a ROOT to come out for the Android 2.3.3?
Between now and the end of time.
We don't know and asking for etas won't get you anywhere.

i am patiently waiting. I miss my old evo rooted. I was actually given a brand new evo that had 2.2 on it and the ota showed up and without thinking i updated. So mad about that.
Thanks, I'll be patient.
I understand this is hard work and you guys are doing it all for love (or for something other than money), so I'm not going to add my voice to the chorus asking when the root solution for 2.3.3 will be ready--even though I'm a-yearning and a-craving to upgrade and re-root my phone. I'll just say thanks for now to all you geniuses for making these phones so much better!
Hope it's soon because I'm ready I just got my evo 4g yesterday and tried to superoneclick root and z4root and it didn't work.. Never thought to check and see if 2.3 can root. Damn

the more people ask, the less likely it will be done!
And if you had searched, you would have seen this has already been asked!
I bet root will be available when you stop making new accounts just to make the same thread asking the same question over and over again.
If anything, the devs are probably getting tired of the obnoxious kids in the Evo forums badgering them. Instead of trying harder, I'd give up if I were in their shoes.
Believe it or not, there are worst things than not being able to root your phone.

Yes they will because securities are off. Check out the development threads and download the stock (e.sprint) image zip. Youll need the PC36.IMG and stock unrooted rom. There is a helpful guide that will help you as well. Good luck!
Probably depends on whose checking it. How would they find out? Do they plug it in to something and it tells them?
Perfect thanks. I have the s-on tool and the ruu zip. Hopefully goes smooth

Really they just make sure phone turns on and that's it. They are sending it out to be refurbished and reload software.... but unrooting should not take so long
