After doing hours upon hours of research yesterday, I have come to the conclusion that if you have a White Evo, it cannot be rooted yet. I have a black one - hardware version 003 and it rooted just fine using Unrevoked.
My wife, however, decided to get the white Evo - which is also hardware version 003. I ran the same steps for her except Unrevoked came up with the "[Internal Error: Can't find Misc]"
The reason I come up with blaming it on white Evo's is because I saw threads by other people around the internet who couldn't root their white Evo's either.
Is anybody working on this? Although I am a tech geek, I am nowhere nearly as geeky as you all that make the hacks, roms, and cracks.
Unrevoked is not the only method of rooting.
I have a white evo and its rooted on hardware 0003......I used unrevoked with no problem....

I didn't find any other ways up to date yet... plus, last I heard, new Evo's can't be rooted yet.

Hmmm wonder what the differences are.

hmmm, wonder where this should be posted
is it h-boot 2.02?
Hmm this is a question but also a development question. Hmm maybe I should double post this in the Q and A forum as well!

Driver
Is you driver working correctly?
I just got an EVO today (white one) with HBoot 2.02 and had to read the "Like a Boss" Guide to root it but had 0 trouble. Running Myn's Warm 2.2 and everything works perfectly.
Yes the drivers work. I used the same configuration to root my black Evo.

I will find that and do some reading. Thanks for the heads up!

There really should not be a difference other than color as you stated your wife's "white evo" is using the same hardware as your black evo "0003" so you should be able to root it the sameway. Now the second time I had to root my black Evo #0003 it took doing the operation 3 times before the root was successful.

I updated my EVO from the Sprint update not paying attention and now I'm not rooted anymore. Trying to figure out what happened and how / if I can get rooted again. Think I updated to a 3.29.651.5 build version and it still says I'm on Droid 2.2 any help is appreciated.

Does your phone still work? If so, you should be able to just run Unrevoked 3.21. That would be the easiest option.
Yeah the phone works fine. I just kinda freaked when I realized what I did. Pissed right now cuz I can't wireless tether!

Alright my droid inc2 willbe here in a couple of hours and m coming from a fassy I am reallying confused on the rooting process for this phone and Rome and stuff of that nature if anyone could point me in the right direction it would be great. Like do I ever use Odin? Hemdiell? Cwm? Bootloader? Ill be honest compared to the galaxy s it seems like a totally fifteenth scene and this was the first phone I rooted. Any suggestion is welcome

Root from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160511
simply dl, unzip to desktop, install other files on website, plug in phone "with usb debugging" and set to charge. Run Alpharevx and it will do all the work for you. It will also install Clockwork Recovery.
From there I did this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160745
and after that simply install the ROM you want in the Dinc2 Android Dev section of this forum. I have used CM7 and MIUI 1.7.8. I was a CM fan but am really enjoying the MIUI interface and themes. You can DL Rom Manager from the market and have it DL and install the latest version of either one of these themes, or you can dl them from this site and install them manually.

It came with it preinstalled I read that much and when I saw that got a little frustrated
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
first thing to do when you're DInc2 arrives is check the software info. If you're still on Froyo, then you're golden, you can use a free software utility made by Alpharev X to S-OFF (bypass the digital signature that prevents unauthorized software installation). If it comes preinstalled with Gingerbread, you're boned; the only way to S-OFF is to use an XTC Clip which will cost you abit of cash. If you find yourself needing to go that route, PM me, I have an unused PAYG XTC Clip with 1 credit.
In came with gingerbread is there not a way to flash the froyo Rom like the fascinate if not I don't think ill root for a while in case I need to take my phone in

So since I messed up my first Droid by rooting and then OTA updating I was cautious about rooting my shiny new Droid Incredible 2. I updated to 2.3 OTA because I was excited about some of the features I saw in the Nexus S but unfortunately not all those features made it to my phone. Soon after I read that I saw a post of an OC Incredible 2 with a Quadrant score of over 3000. I am asking anyone out there, is there a way to root OTA 2.3 and if there isn't can some one as soon as they hear how to post here. Thanks.
Look into XTC Clip. I don't know if it can or not, but it's probably ur 1st choice right now.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
XTC clip is currently the only method, unfortunately. And in reality, that is only getting you S-OFF. However, from there, you can move on to rooting.
No GB root at the moment.

well if your wife's phone is still on froyo, you should be able to use alpharevX to s-off then root it.
EDIT: just realized the title of this thread. too many threads open, got confused.
I see the thread that says there is no root for Gingerbread but I've seen other posts that say there is an experimental beta for root.
Can someone enlighten me?
I have a buddy with a INC 2 and looking to root it, but it has Gingerbread already loaded.
There's currently no software root. The only option is the XTC clip.

awww.. makes me sad.
will check back here in a few weeks, maybe some luck then
Yup.. no root for people who updated to GB or got it preloaded. Stock isn't horrible though. I haven't had any real problems except wanting a couple more features like abit louder speaker or stronger vibrate options.
You can always get an XTC clip to S-Off. So no, it's not impossible. It's just not free
Edit: sorry, Nasty, didn't read see you already mention it

I may be wrong, but I don't believe gingerbread has a known exploit yet, for any phone. So even if you get s off, I am not sure it will help because root is a whole different thing.

Well, you are wrong. AlphaRev and Unrevoked have implemented a GB root exploit for both the HTC Sensation and the HTC Evo 3D in the latest Revolutionary solution.
In Twitter land there has been some success with other HTC devices, but the Dinc2 is proving to be troublesome.
Actually, I am rollin' a Moto Droid X2 and they just released a rooted GB update before my phone allows OTA update. Root it up!

Must be a new exploit. Last I checked the only root path for phones with gingerbread was a rollback to froyo.

You rooted it when it had froyo though. It is easy to flash a pre rooted rom, op is asking for a way to root an already installed gb.

If you manage to s-off the phone I would think you could flash a custom recovery with fastboot and from there flash a rooted rom.

Revolutionary uses the same temp-root exploit as it did with alpharevx, which means, that temp-root exploit is patched in GB. So revolutionary only works on froyo Inc2s.

Well considering we aren't concerned with those phones and there isn't a gb root for our phone, then you are wrong.

Why is he wrong? He said there's no GB root for the INC 2 but was pointing out to kingsway8605 that there is such a thing as a GB root.
Gingerbreak, it's been out for a while. But since Verizon likes to patch to OTA's and cover that exploit (Just like they did with the Droid X) Yes, it's proving to be rather difficult.

I reads kings post as gb on inc 2 doesn't have an exploit yet. Because if I remember correctly he made a comment about temp root on the 3d a while back. Either way no big deal

I have searched through this forum and the development forum, and I can't find any threads on how to undo a revolutionary root (2.3.3). My screen is unresponsive in certain sections and I need to send the phone in for a warranty. If someone could link me to a thread with a solution, that would be great.
Thanks!
