Gingerbread update lose root? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When the gingerbread update comes out, if I update to it will I lose root? I rooted using unrevoked3 then flashed unrevoked forever.

well DUH
unless its a modded version

Just wait for a dev to cook a rom based on gingerbread.

As a rule of thumb never do OTA updates. You could potentially lose the ability to root forever.
Just check on here when the update cones around. The devs will most likely have a modded rom within the same day.

From what I understand it gives you permanent NAND access, but I still wouldn't update.

Yeah? Why do you say that. The evo was one of the first phones with froyo.

I doubt the Evo will get Gingerbread. I believe the phones will only get one major upgrade, thus Evo started with 2.1, then went to 2.2. I think we will see the Desire Sense come to the Evo though to get the phones on HTCSense.com. This is just my opinion. Sprint will come out with a replacement phone for the Evo which will come with Gingerbread and it will be almost the year mark for the Evo which is about the timeframe of phone life.

I have no idea what you are talking about and not sure you do either but the evo will get gingerbread and I'm certain cyanogenmod will bring it to the evo long before HTC and sprint.

Who cares if Sprint puts out a Gingerbread update for EVO? Just flash a rom that does. They should be ready within about 2 weeks of the release. This stuff only encourages users to root.

It could be a very very long wait seein as there are a bunch of new phones for them to pay attention to while ignoring the Dincs.
Go ahead and root, tons of us applied the update manually to 2.2 without issue.
I have a family member working for a Verizon as a DM, I try to get information out of him, all he told me is that the Inc is "supposed" to get 2.3, had no timetable when.
When the Evo 3D comes out and the source code gets released for Sense on 2.3 hopefully the guys over here can make it work on the DInc.
I agree with Ben. Root and get 2.3 now. Why wait for a buggy IT'S when we've been building and debugging the source already.

If VZW releases 2.3 for DInc, XDA ROM-ers will do loads of stuff with it anyway...

Yes. In regard to the information about the June 3rd Gingerbread update, it is my understanding that on June 3rd, 4th and 5th, users who want to update OTA must initiate the process and starting on June 6th, users will be prompted to update. I am referencing THIS article.

My roommate works at Sprint and he said they have been told it will come with sense 3.0 which is part of the reason it has taken us so long to get it.

Please forgive my noobness, but if I have a custom 2.2 rom on my phone, should I just hold out, or is it safe to upgrade OTA.
WAIT

So have Gingerbread hard update (after Sprint replaced my screen) but now cannot root.
XDA development is typically over stocked and Gingerbread roots seem none existent in the thread titles.
Any good way to monitor the 2.3 roots?

Thats where the "they say it wont work with 2.3.3 and not to ask about eta" is posted. I know its seems like time stands still without root, but trust me they are working on it. I sincerely doubt the day of the EVO is over.
I hope so I just decided to root my evo this week
Well since your saying gingerbread can't be rooted can I go back to froyo in any way to root and flash a gingerbread Rom to my phone

Yeah, development may slow down, but the Evo still has more development than most other devices. Despite developers moving to the 3D, there will still be development, and unless the bootloader is now encrypted (I know it has always been locked, I've heard that it's encrypted but I've also heard otherwise) we'll definitely see root for the new update. It may take some time, but it'll come.
If you know anyone with an Evo that doesn't care about rooting and hasn't installed the update, trade with them. You can activate the phones on your individual accounts, keep your number, and root right away.

Rooting a new Dinc 2 with GB?

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.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
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.

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

Evo 4g root

I have had the 3D for about a month or 2 now and can't wait any longer for roms and devs to finally kick in. My brother has the evo 4g and im going to give him my 3D since he doesn't know what the difference is anyways.
I just can't remember 1 thing, I just checked and he is on Android 2.3.3. Is he fine to root without HTC crappy method? I believe it was 2.4 was the update that locked their bootloaders but not sure completely.
I had the 4g whiles back so i haven't kept up on whats going on here.
