Hi:
I am having a bit of a problem trying to root my new HTC evo.
My hardware info is:
Hardware Version: 0004
Baseband version: 2.15.00.09.01
Software #: 3.30.651.3
Everytime I try to root it. It tells me something that it couldn't update because the version I had on my phone was older version. I think that's what it said.
is there any way to root my phone?
Please let me know.
Thanks!
i am having the same problem...
nothing i have tried has worked at all so far
find 2.2 s-off thread in this section and follow steps closely. if you still are unsuccessful post in THAT thread.
ps this thread should not be in the development section, read the rules
Thread moved to Q&A.
i cannot find the thread your talking about...
its because the software on your phone is prolly 3.30 like mine since they are new or have been updated
find unrevoked on twitter and you can fallow them
there last post was
3.30 Evo folks -- XDA has a solution for you in the interim; we'll package it up nice and clean when we get a break from work & school.

Seriously, searching is not hard.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
I looked through that. People are saying it works and it doesn't. I have 2 Evo's one is rooted, and the other one I bought last night for a friend and he won't root. Is there any way to do it for his evo? Said Main folder is older or something.

if the op's instructions in the link above doesn't work for you, then you may want to look at page 120 in that same link. you'll know the post i'm talking about on that page once you see it.

I'm sorry if I'm going off topic here but you got your stock phone with 3.30? I thought that was the unofficial leaked update.
Not sure I bought it off craigslist brand new. Is that why the root isn't working? is there a way to bring it down an update?
Thanks for all the help!

Not quite sure. Which HBOOT version is the 3.30 phone?
Im going to look at page 120. from page 120 and after everyone seems to say it worked. how do I find out the Hboot Vers?

Turn off your phone. Hold VOL DOWN + POWER till you load into Bootloader. It should be listed at the top on the second line.
but I have 3.30 and 0004 will it still work?
tigercranestyle said:
not sure what you mean by "unofficial leaked version". page 120 in that link referenced is a simplified way performing the original instructions in that thread. my stock evo indeed was 3.30 and 003. instructions were very easy to follow.

Many people are still stuck on 3.29 with no OTA coming out for 3.30. While some people are saying they have 3.30 stock from Sprint so some people aren't sure whether its official or unofficial.
There is a 3.30 ROM that was leaked from a source to XDA forums a week or so ago. Hence why I said it was unofficial.
3.3 is official...unless the guys at the sprint store are playing jokes on me. I traded in my evo today and received a "fresh" (non-refurb) one that is hardware version 4 and 3.3 software. I am having a WONDERFUL time rooting right now...gonna try the hboot202soff thingy here when it downloads...unrevoked was no dice!

like dude said earlier what hboot do you have? Hold VOL DOWN + POWER till you load into Bootloader if you dont have 2.02 then you can use unrevoked one click root if u have hboot .97 or below. And there are a hundred threads about this
Sorry guys I know I am a pain. I clicked that link and went to page 120. AND everything worked perfectly. thaks for all your help guys!!
I love xda..so great. thanks again!

Hello,
I am willing to offer someone 20USD if they can tell me how to fix my HTC desire. I was running on a Asia ROM which was upgraded to a Euro one so i could update. Upon updating to 2.2 I have no wifi, or SD and "process system" keeps crashing
The details of the phone are:
Model A8181
OS: 2.2 (from OTA)
Baseband: 32.36.00.28U_406.00.02_2
Kernel: 2.6.29-0cb9f166
Build is 2.09.405.8
Please Help Me.
You need to flash the newest radio, should fix all your problems.
You're using a radio from eclair (2.1).

With the 2.2 ota, im not sure if there is a way to downgrade, as I read one of the devs accidentally upgraded to an OTA release. This is due to the bootloader being updated to one that hasnt been hacked yet.
My 2 cents is hold tight and hope one of the devs figures a way to downgrade, that way you could install a custom 2.2 which doesnt have these issues.
Good luck, sorry i couldnt be of much use :/
EDIT- i completely missed that flakz0r lol, can it still be flashed through recovery if he used a 2.2 OTA update? if so http://android.adamg.co.uk/bravo/radio/32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
you still have the older 2.6.29 kernel too
flash the radio to the latest and flash one of the 101 roms people are releasing based on the new ota 2.2 as that should update your kernel

Did you download the ota update, or have you got root and installed one of roms on this forum? If it's ota I dont see how your radio can be the one you've stated. If it's a rom from the forum flash the new radio 32.43.00.32U_5.09.00.20.zip
I dont know, but it should be possible. Also, the official OTA update comes with the new radio, so i dont understand how he was able to update the rom but not the radio. That is assuming he isnt rooted, of course.

I just fixed something like this today. It's a bit of an involved process though. Send me a pm so we can talk via IM.

I flashed one of the stock roms from here to get it to be a euro one instead of asia.

Yeah, you just need the radio. Put it on your sdcard and flash it like you flashed the rom. Dont touch your phone, let it work, takes a while.
so....who got the 20 dollars?
lol i think it should be falkz0r he was the first to provide a solution...
btw...he managed to go from asian to european version through goldcard and the RUU file. Done that to my previous Hero too.

I got him through the entire process using teamviewer and MSN. Still haven't got the $20 though....
And flashing a radio isn't a solution

Wouldn't have worked.
Wasnt expecting to receive anything, XDA is a place to share knowledge and help each other. I expect people to help me too when i'm in trouble.
UPDATE - AUGUST 26, 8.38am: It is official. The Unrevoked team has developed a root method for the Evo 2.2 OTA. The basic process is a downgrade to 2.1, then using Unrevoked 3 + Unrevoked Forever and a new PC36IMG along the way to get full root access. Here is the guide. I guess this thread is now dead. It's a good thing.
*** Everything below this line is now outdated! ***
This question is asked several times every day here. This is the answer: If you have a new Evo with Froyo (Android 2.2) or have accepted the OTA update to Froyo, there is currently NO KNOWN WAY to gain root access. You cannot root until somebody finds an exploit in the new system.
There is also no known way to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 and then root that either.
The new release of Unrevoked Forever will NOT root an unrooted 2.2 system. It is instead a safeguard against losing root in the future even after OTA updates.
If you are a 2.1 user and would like to upgrade, you must root your 2.1 system FIRST, then flash a ROOTED ROM. If you flash an unrooted 2.2 ROM, you will not be able to root it even if you were previously rooted until somebody finds a way to root 2.2
Bottom line: If you have stock 2.2, you are stuck until further notice. Period.
This is true for the "leaked" .3 release and the "final" .6 release.
The "Easy Root" app by Unstable Apps has been reported to NOT work on the Evo.
I will change this post the minute a 2.2 root method is discovered.
CLARIFICATION: In light of a recent dialogue between myself and toastcfh (our forum mod whose work I highly respect) I want to make it clear that there may someday soon be a way to root 2.2, but nobody has reported that they have made any progress on this yet. There are talented developers looking for a hole in the system, and I have every confidence that something will emerge in the near future. I also encourage anybody who thinks they can make headway on this front to TRY! I do NOT want anybody to think that it cannot be done. I just want to make it clear that we do not know of a way to do it yet. I want this to happen as well. Please don't be discouraged!
If you are reading this, please bump it until it's a sticky topic.
This thread is now a sticky courtesy of our forum mod.

Just caught another one, first post by a new user asking about how to root and/or downgrade his 2.2 RUU.
I feel like I'm holding the vaccine and nobody's taking it.
Bumping for justice.
HTC needs to stop being lame and just ship the phones rooted.
You know what really aggravates me about this site..... the sheer number of idiots!..this thread is an example...SilverZero made a great post to sticky explaining he will take time to post as soon as a root is available. Within 45 mins somebody feels the need to post a stupid ass question that was clearly explained by the OP in the first freakn post, which was the reason for this thread. Thanks SilverZero for wanting to keep is up to date and trying to keep the evo threads a little less cluttered regarding the possibility of a root. Unfortunately we know that these idiots are going to continue not reading and just posting same **** over and over and over! Give it a rest morons! This is a great site I just wish we could weed out the idiots!
Hey guys, I have an OTA Froyo 2.2, how do i root my phone?
Edit 1: Jokes aside, appreciate you trying to root us 2.2 boys; wish I was capable.

If you can hex edit the PRI to make it appear to be a higher version, could you hex edit the verision number to allow a RUU to downgrade? Probably wouldn't work, but worth asking.

Not helpful but an attitude like that won't get you much help.
There are guides in that forum section that will help you root, make sure you find the most updated one or you will end up wasting a LOT of time and possibly brick your Evo.

You should relock your bootloader before using the hack kit. I think...

using an old version of the kit might mess your bootloader, as in the first version froyo RUU's were used. Make sure that u use the last version of it.....just a tip: follow my signature...
