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

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.

I got this EVO yesterday and I like to root it, how do I know if it rootable or not?
It says Android version 2.2
Software number 3.70.651.1
On HBOOT says S-ON
Thanks guys!
Yes. You can root it. Head over to the Evo forums and do a little reading. Check out the "stickies" and there should be a one-click root process for it.
Directions will walk you through it step by step. Read, take your time, read, and then go.
Best of luck.

How on earth did you get a phone with 2.2 on it? lmao. not fair! hahaha. Love how no one ever gives real answers on here and tells you to read 4000 posts just to get the information you need. lolz. I'll just give you hints. starts with unr?????? lets see if you can figure it out. lmao
Thanks guys I think you mean unrevoked.
I been around for a while but I'm new to the EVO.
Funny it still on 2.2 just got it for $100 yesterday in mint conditions.
A winner I think

Done rooting it using the following guide:

Now which rom do you guys recommend? I always used CyanogenMod before in my Nexus One and also on my HD2.
Decks 2.3.4 builds with savage zens kernel line has always been pretty awesome for me. Great battery, hella fast, and rock stable, its cyanogenmod with some cleaning up and tweaking. I've always felt it was faster and got better battery, just my opinion though

Thank you for the link.
Check out my sig, depends on whether you like Sense or not. Personally, I flash whatever ROM drops the day, but AOSP is my best friend for battery life

Do you mind if I asked where you bought it.
I am thinking that maybe Sprint stores have new stock with 2.3 on it and maybe if I go to Radio Shack their stock would have 2.2 on it.

Asking which rom to update here is like asking which super model to slip the roofie too.
It doesn't matter they're all awesome.
However, our most popular dishes are (in no particular order):
2.2
MikFroyo
Myn Warm TwoPointTwo
Koni's Elite Series III
2.3 (w/sense 1.0)
SNS
Steelh
2.3 (aosp)
You've already got most of the list for that one
2.3 (sense 2.1/3.0)
MikG
Synergy
2.3 (sense 3.0)
Virus Kingdom
Mik and Myn also have 2.0 Roms but they aren't as good as the 2.1/3.0 ones so don't bother with those
Hope I helped out, welcome to the Evo forums.
What ROM do you plan on using??

I bought one from Radio Shack a few days ago and it already had 2.3 on it. I went to exchange it at a different Radio Shack to see if any of their stock had 2.2 but they wouldn't check so I just returned it.

If it has Froyo then yes it is rootable and you can flash a rooted 2.3.3 ROM.
Don't get your hopes up though; most of the replacement ones are now being shipped with Gingerbread... Hopefully we'll see a breakthrough soon though as far as gaining S-off on the updated OG Evos.
Its a new one not refurb my first evo came with 2.2 but i was not aware 2.3.3 wasnt rootable and let it update
Well I believe even now the new ones come with 2.3.3.
Hopefully not cuz my current one was 2.2 and its new
Just need root to remove bloat that's all

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.

If 4g isn't a need for you, the DInc2 is the best phone on the market IMHO, especially for the price.
I have 4g in my area, but always use wifi if i can, im leanin towards dinc 2

If its hacks an Roms you want? THe Dinc 2 is great!!!
The dinc 2 is a great phone with plenty of Roms to choose from. If I had an upgrade i would get the new $300 HTC smartphone (but thats just becuase of the specs).
If you get a dinc 2 it will be running android 2.3.4. THat version is not rooted yet.
but you can downgrade to android 2.3.3 using this

for Rooting Revolutionary gives permanent root for some devices , and for others it give root but not complete permanent root ( incredible 2 is in the second group i believe ) , go to thier website for more . still you can install do all rooted things
as for Roms , if you are using CDMA there is plenty of excellent Roms Sense 3.5 . if you want GSM very few Roms for that and the maximum is Sense 3 for a stable bug less GSM Rom
the phone is nice , and battery is Very good in my opinion
Got mine at Costco for $30.
Might be a good time to check eBay/CL for a used one...

I say go for it. Rooting was fairly straightforward and I have never used adb before that. I love it so far though. It gets way better battery life than the thunderbolt and has cynanogen mod as well as really good sense roms. Also the dev have a pretty decent ICS beta out so if you want that it probably it will be stable I a bit. Enjoy
