Did u check unrevoked method of rooting??

your details suggest unrevoked would be a good method for you to root.
hollar at me on gtalk if you need help
btw u posted in the wrong section

Your baseband and PRI versions are not up to date. I would suggest you perform an OTA update (should update you to version 3.29....version 3.30 is for hardware 0004). The one click Unrevoked 3.21 method will still root even if you are updated to 3.29.
Of course you don't have to do the OTA update, you can flash the radio/WiMAX/PRI by downloading the flash zip that's on the XDA forums once you are rooted and have either ClockworkMOD or Amon_RA recovery installed.

I have been trying to get this loaded but the zip file doesnt unpack a recovery file and an update.zip. Some help would really make a brother smile

? Just follow the unrevoked 3.21 thread to root your phone.

cannot install 3.29.651.5 update any ideas?

my phone couldn't update from 2.1 to 2.2 because i used the unrevoked method of rooting. in order for me to get 2.2 i updated my phone with the pc36img.zip file and then rooted again with unrevoked.
Now when i'm trying update from 2.2 with the new 3.29.651.5 update, the phone will have the triangle with a exclamation point.
Any ideas? thanks
You cant update to the new OTA with unrevoked forever. If you didn't use unrevoked forever, you will lose root access if you update it. You can flash a rom with the 3.29.651.5 update if you want.
thank you for the response, i didn't use unrevoked forever on my phone.
I'm trying to update to 3.29.651.5 with my unrevoked rooted 2.2 evo, but i get the triangle with the exclamation point. ideas?
Re-rooted, and grab yourself a custom rom from development section.

Hi all. I'm in deep trouble here.

Sigh... At the RED TRIANGLE, press vol up and power.. reboot.
After applying the OTA on your phone, you need to reinstall the "superuser" app.
If downloading the one from the market and reinstalling doesn't work for you. Find your favorite recovery, reflash it, then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 and reflash the superuser app.
Enjoy,

Thanks, however to restore Superuser ability I actually had to run unrEVOked 3 again. (Even though I was still rooted with S-OFF) This gave me back my superuser rights. Now Rom manager is backing up my rom.
Credit for this goes to Punchatron for posting this: Use Unrevoked 3.21 again to get super user back as stated on http://twitter.com/unrevoked

That is one way to let unrevoked do it for you. All you really needed to do is reinstall your su app.
But glad you got it...

An alternate method to re running unrevoked is just reinstall clockwork and then superuser.

Yes. As i mistakenly OTA the update and it would not install. I will never again OTA anything. That guide was perfect.
I'm back to where I was, but with the new update. Thank you !!!

Rooted with new radio version?

I am in need if some help. My EVO is rooted with unrevoked (not sure what OLDER version) it also has MikFroyo v4.2 Baseband version 1.39.00.05.31 Kernel 2.6.32.17 - gee557fd
htc-kernel (at) and 18-2 # 15 Software Number 3.70.651.1
I was wanting to put the newest versions of Unrevoked and MikFroyo, tried running the Unrevoked v3.32 and it said unsupported radio version. Is there any way to fix this problem since the phone still has root? I bought the phone and it came with this on it already. It also has a custom boot screen I would like to change or put back to stock. thanks
pleeeeeeeeeeese?
You don't need to run unrevoked again if you're already rooted. Just backup, wipe, and flash the rom
We're comin from a pure power source.

[Q] Best way to root from 2.2

Bought a used EVO and this is what it has:
hboot 2.10.0001
radio 2.15.00.07.28
android 2.2
build 3.26.651.6
pri 1.90_003
prl 01115
All the root methods are labeled as defunct for 2.2 in the wiki. Suggestions/links?
If I'm not mistaken you should be able to use the unrEVOked method to root your phone.

Correct, unrevoked works for froyo [2.2] and revolutionary is for gingerbread [2.3+].

According to the unrevoked Wiki, your baseband version isn't supported.
Code:
HTC EVO 4G, running radio baseband versions:
1.36.00.04.02
1.39.00.04.26
2.05.00.06.10
2.15.00.07.21
2.15.00.07.28
2.15.00.09.01
2.15.00.11.19
So, you need to flash a PC36IMG/RUU of a version that IS supported. Of course, you will lose your custom recovery, but unrevoked3 will take care of that for you. And I recommend using Amon_RA v2.3 and ditching CWM.
Whoops, didn't look past the first couple numbers..sorry
