I know, I know, I know...
I am a member of a few different forums for other things and there is always a neb that comes on and asks a question that has been beat to death.
I have heard that God kills a kitten ever time someone post a thread before doing a search on what you are trying to get answered. So for my sake, God's sake and that poor kitten sake, I did read through a lot of post before I had the sack to post this question
I am posting this question because there seems to be a lot of different answers to a lot of different questions, so, I was hoping for very direct answers to these questions that I know have been asked plenty of times...
Here it goes...
I have purchased the HTE EVO w/ android 2.2 and I have had it for about 2 weeks.
I want to root my phone, which is my first ever smart phone.
This is what I would like to happen...
1) I want to be able to have the restore point so that I can flash my phone back to stock so that if something happens the warranty will still be good.
* Does this save on my home pc or sdcard? Or Both?
I have read that you need to download here not there(ruu...clockworks/rom manager)...no here not there...If you download anything but this you will not be able to get it back to the stock setting and Sprint will know you have rooted the phone...The whole thing started to get a little confusing.
I am a very simple person so I am hoping for a very simple answer, if there is one.
1) How do I root my HTC EVO that has the android 2.2?
2) How do I make sure that I can have a recovery point incase I mess it up (brick, etc...)
3) How do I make sure that I can flash my phone back to the original settings just incase I have to send it in to be fixed for some reason, which rom manager lets me do this?
4) Is it legal to do this?
5) What might be the biggest no-no to do before, during and after you root your phone?
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.
Visit the wiki, that should answer most of your answers.
1. Rooting voids warranty
2. Always perform a nand backup if you want to revert to your previous state.
Visit the wiki, the instructions are simple.
EDIT: Actually the wiki will answer all of your answers.

DO NOT RUN UNREVOKED OR YUO COULD PERMANENTLY CORRUPT YOUR PHONE!!!!! at the moment, there is no brainless way of doing it. you need to manually set up the adb and usb drivers, and then do some coding work, along with downloading like 1/3 gig of files.

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???????
What method are u using? Try unrevoked 3, its very simple

Thanks for replying guys, but I got it to work finally late last night. Anyways, I can't get wireless tether to work. It keeps force closing. I know I have root and everything because I was able to make a nand backup and I flashed Damagecontrol.
Please Please someone help me! First off, i apologize if this is in the wrong forum but i figured it would be the best place to get help. I just got an EVO a couple of weeks ago (came from an iPhone 4). I understand that root is almost like jailbreaking. I'm trying to update my phone with a new rom but evidently it can't be done without being rooted. I've searched and searched to be able to find a way to root the new sprint update 3.70.651.1 but i just cant find it! can some one PLEASE HELP! I've tried unrevoked 3 but to no luck...

The best place to get help is in the correct forum. There are lots of grumpy people here who would take the time to bust on you for posting in the wrong section, tell you to use the search button or post a link to lmgtfy.com.
Fortunately I'm still noob enough not to do that. Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448 and see if that helps you.
This one is also a good one to try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
You gots to know what you are doing. Read thoroughly!
i would for sure use the one suggested by atapia984. it is a little harder, but it is a lot less risky in the long run. also, rooting is not too much like jailbreaking, mostly because you can do everything you can with a jailbroken iphone on an evo without any hacking at all. rooting lets you actually replace the phone's system (and other partitions) with custom roms made by the talented devs here at the xda. you also have total control over hardware of the phone. if you are really stuck on the root tutorial, i might be able to help you out, or even give you a walkthrough if you are too afraid of nuking your precious evo.
I would like to start with an apology,
I have been reading what I could for a couple weeks now and am just honestly confused.
I have a sprint evo 4g and would like to root it.
I have seen a few posts saying it can't be rooted because I took an update a few days ago and don't know if I blocked myself from root. Also I was wondering if I just reset to factory would it undo the block?
Again I'm sorry if this question has been previously answered.

I swear, I wanted to find if there was a STOCK ROOTED ROM, available to me, and all I could find after an hour was a listing of I think maybe 50 ROMS, and NONE of them stated it was a ROM that would unroot my phone, or if my phone would stay rooted after the flash. I still dont know. I gave up looking.
I purchased a launcher pro license also, but I'm finding that I like GO Launcher EX and most of the GO Dev team's apps better. It's far more customizable and bacon-y.

Crappy? I own both phones and the 3d is nice, it has a couple bugs that need to be addressed but the dual core makes it much faster and I'm getting about 13 to 16 hours battery life on a stock battery, I'm barely getting a little more than that on my extended battery in the EVO... Sidenote: the OTA gingerbread update made me switch phones, my og evo hasn't been the same since

some people with your version were rooted prior to the new software upgrade so that is why you see them rooted. Right now you have to wait and believe me when it is rooted you will know and no need to ask anymore. Keep checking Develpment section.
Read the Unrevoked 3.21 thread or even the HBoot 2.10 downgrade thread just for an fyi on how things work

Yes, you are able to acheive root through flashing a pre-rooted rom but aside from that, no, you cannot get root just by re-rooting. S-off just means the security flags are off for your device meaning the boot loader doesn't discriminate files. As long as it's PC36IMG.zip you should be good to go. If you want an appropriate way to flash roms, I suggest looking at twrp. It's sexy as hell and I love the red rum theme for it.
It's the first themable recovery, and it looks great. Then you can look at getting cm7 or any other rom you want regardless if you want AOSP or Sense.

Thanks. I remember when I took OTA update and thought that I was screwed, but only to find I was S-off. There was a thread where I flashed amon ra recovery and was able to flash a custom rom (mikmik). I went back stock and have not messed around with my EVO (other phones and tablets Lol). Just been out the EVO loop lately and was not sure if flashing amon recovery was the preferred method still.
Going to take a look at the recovery you suggested and give it a go. I'm just so use to cwm. Even having amon was a different feel for me.
The dual core processor is probably the difference other than that is the same crap and I forgot to mention about the 3d camera its horrible!! Htc said you don't need glasses I just a video for a few seconds and got dissy it doesn't make any sense about the whole 3d deal. And also why would they lower the megapixel of the camera specially if your going to have a 3d phone? I think no body is able to use the 3d feature because of the quality
I've searched, and I've searched, and I've searched...
And I'm still confused.
There's so much old info out there, so many different versions of the same phone, and so many new words I'm not used to, I just can't find the right set of instructions that I need for my phone. All I want to do, is a simple root, and get those stupid freeloading apps that "S" pre-installs off of my phone; I want maps and telenav to stop starting automatically on bootup; I want my battery to fully charge, and I want my mobile hot-spot! I don't want special roms (I'm only 95% certain I know what they are), or anything else special for that matter. Just access to fix my phone so it's not completely useless and constantly rebooting the home screen due to lack of ram.
Here's my stats:
Android version:
2.3.3
Baseband version:
2.15.00.0808
Build number & Software number:
4.54.651.1
If you need any more info, I'll happily post it.
I am NOT asking for someone to hold my hand through the process, just to point me in the direction of the correct guide. I must have read at least 15 different guides now, and haven't a clue which one is the one I need to use.

I used revolutionary and it was painless. Follow the instructions on the site and the assosiated information and you will not have an issue.
Once rooted you can install another recovery (amon ra) or just use clockwork which revolutionary offers to install. Perform a backup in recovery and reboot your phone.
Get titanium backup and you can start removing the apps you want.
That's what I did, hopefully it helps a bit.

Revolutionary is good. I recommend you read more about custom ROMs after that, there's a good chance you will find something that suits you better than your stock ROM. MIUI and CM7 are both great ROMs to play around with. Make a backup before you do anything with ROMs.
I've helped alot of my friends that are new to android/smartphones/rooting to understand it all and get up and running, if you need help just let me know.
I am having difficulty finding the thread here and I saw a few websites but not sure if I trust them. What is the best method, how-to for someone that has never rooted an android device before (done many iphones). Any good picture step-by-step procedures anywhere?

You amaze me but I will try one more time to help.
Look at the link I gave you in post 2. Download the app in post 1 of that thread. Install it and follow the instructions from that thread. They are there and detailed. You press a few buttons and are rooted. There is no ROM on that thread.
I say this in all seriousness and am not trying to be mean, but you need to stop and think before you move forward. If you are having trouble reading this thread and the one I linked to you, then you probably don't understand what to do without causing damage. Read, read, read, read, and then read some more before you go any further. There are also numerous threads in this forum giving detailed step by step instructions.

This video might help you, it exlains the thread/app Gvndeb60 posted:
http://youtu.be/G2_zHqsC4BE
There is a guide on Android Central with videos may help too! Same for process for the 4.1.2 update.
If you are having trouble understanding All those easy steps that are laid out for you. You should do research before rooting. Some things include learning what you can do when you root your device. It won't take long if you have some background in editing your phone system. But by the looks of it your going to seriously mess up your phone. And even if you are getting better responses on other sites. If you don't learn to respect people here you will be confused because every site that talks about rooting or provides a rom will lead you back here. This community is huge so learn to embrace and read threads before attacking our fellow members.

I did the root, but removed it since it broke my camera. So I need a root that does not break my camera and that doesn't require replacing those files as I saw online many not recommending it.

Do the root by itself. Don't patch the exploit, as that's what appears to break the camera. I believe there's an option to undo the patch.

Simple easy to follow took less than 5 minutes... as opposed to my htc inspire 4g which was a pain in the ass! Before you root anything ask whats the design goal..identify the risks and BACKUP everything and make sure you know how to restore it!

I've done it. Many others have done it. No 3rd eye has yet to appear on my face. I say it's safe.

Maybe this is a dumb question, but people say to backup your device before you root. I thought that making nandroid or titanium backups required root... So how does one restore to an unrooted device without first rooting?

I've never done any sort of backups prior to rooting any phones in the last 3 yrs. Everything u need to unroot are available online.

Probably not before rooting. Using the Exynos Abuse apk, you will root in 5 seconds. It will put Super user on your phone and you can get Titanium Backup and then backup all user and system apps to your SD card etc. You can then debloat apps etc. You should probably uninstall the app with TB and keep it for a few days to make sure your phones works properly before deleting the app. Before flashing a ROM you should always backup incase something goes wrong you have something to flash back to.
