The only way i know of to brick a phone is to flash a GSM Radio and there should be none on this forums
hey whats up. i live in tampa. theres really nothing to the root though, if you can follow the simple steps you should be fine.
I upgraded my evo to .6 update and then ran the unrevoked app and am sticking to that root as of right now for homebrew and wifi tether. There's not much incentive to flash a rom since not much is out there yet. Give it a little time but for now the unrevoked is as simple as can get. Install the app, run the program and it will "root" your phone every time you boot up as long as the app is installed. Uninstall the app, reboot and your phone should go back to stock (i think)
Keep in mind that the nand is still locked so you wont be able to flash custom roms with the unrevoked method but its fine for wifi tether and the sort...lemme know if you got any more questions

Just follow the step-by-step instructions. Figuring out how to do it on your own will help a lot when you have other problems.

Hi guys, I am brand new so bear with me. I JUST got my EVO today, and it came with the upgrated .6 software. After 2 hours of trying, I finally figured out that the software prevents you of rooting your phone.
So I guess what I need to do is roll back to a different version. I've read some threads about it, and I am feeling a bit confused. Most of the threads assume common knowledge, and that is something I just dont have yet. Could someone post a step by step walkthrough on how to get my phone back to a state that I can root it? Or maybe its just easier to just wait till someone figures out a way to root the phone using the .6 software? Any help would be appreciated, cause Im sure as hell not going to pay Sprint 30 bux a month for tethering....

You need to get back to the release version of the software, ends in .1. Since the version you are using is newer (.6) the system is rejecting the flash.
This thread has the version of the software the evo was released with. It's an .exe file so you just save it somewhere on your computer and double click.

If you look at step 2 here

Yea, I dont fully understand what step 2 means. So I get the .exe first? then what? Also what does "go into your shell" mean? I'm sure I'm making it more complicated than it really is.
I had .6 on mine and used biles guide and it worked fine. It's in the development section. That may help
I just went and looked (to make sure I wasn't crazy) and it does work with .6

OK. Just got my evo 4G last night (6/20/2011). It came with 2.3.3 on it. I want to root it.. seems not possible. So ive heard you should flash it back to 2.2.x for you to be able to root it. Wellllll this is alot different then my samsung captivate which was cake walk. Does any one have any ideas/link/how too's on how to do this? is it possible?
Thanks, Matt.

Don't think it's possible with a new device. If your security level is set so s-off from being opreviously rooted then you can downgrade, but with a new phone already sporting 2.3 I don't think there's currently a root solution. Be patient is the only advice at this point.

Not possible. The only people that have been able to do this had rooted their phone previously using unrevoked forever and have s-off. You are going to have to wait for an exploit.
damn. Hopefully its out before july 18th lol. I kinda need it rooted by then... damn Thanks for the help tho

HTC locked the bootloader that came with the OTA which means thats no bueno for us lol. Unless HTC sends out an update that unlocks the bootloader or devs find an exploit (loophole) it could take MONTHS to achieve root.
So, my evo is rooted with unrevoked. Im running 2.2 right now and want the 2.3.3.
If i do the update through sprint that it keeps telling me to download EVERYDAY...will it mess up my phone cause of the root..or what will it do?
IF i accept it...
please let me know. Its starting to annoy me lol

Unless u ran unrevoked forever and have s off forever than by running the update u will lose root. Even if ur s off forever u run the risk of losing root as well. At best u can flash one of the gb roms in the dev section.
what if it is s-on?

Then you're kinda outta luck til they find a root for the new OTA.
i used unrevoked3. does that make a difference between the forever? im kinda new at this stuff. my roommate is the whiz at this **** lol so ya. im tempted to unroot it and forget it all cause its actually messing up my phone more than ive used the gratefullness of the root

If ur s on then ur not rooted. If u haven't taken the update then rerun unrevoked. If u have run update then u sol till new root method is found.

If I had to make a choice I'd go to the dev section and choose a rom that I liked and flashed that. Then u don't have to wireless bout it anymore. With root u unlock things but also can get alot better battery life and can customize things like percentage battery and different lock screeens and lots more. Just look around and test things out before u give up. Its not as hard as u think to get the hang of it.
ok wow im stupid.
unrevoked forever is what i used. my bad lol sorry.
s-off
we tried 3 but it wouldnt work for some reason so we did the forever.
phone is rooted for sure.
so if i did the sprint update from the "update phone" section on the phone...i would lose root? would it flash phone too? honestly at this point idc about the root anymore really. i am about to upgrade to the Evo 3D next weekend

If ur upgrading to 3vo then no big deal. Upon reading u might have to unroot phone to get update to work. If ur selling ur evo back to sprint when u get new phone then run the s on from unrevoked and then unroot and take update. If ur putting it on eBay or craigslist or selling to a friend u can unroot and leave it s off so other person can reroot if they want
ok. so where is the best instructions on how to unroot?
i seen one in the dev section near the top (Unroot in 2 steps)<---that one?

Yeah prob ur best bet is there.
Why take the update when there are optimized ROMs based on the update that work better and have in them than what you'll get from the OTA??

Correct yourself and stop spreading wrong information.
S off does not mean you are rooted nor does it have any correlation with being rooted.
S off is the security flag which allows the bootloader to flash unsigned/unofficial images to the partitions.
An evo can be rooted and still have the security flag s on.
Even the installation instructions for unrevoked forever state you have to be rooted FIRST WITH A CUSTOM RECOVERY ALREADY INSTALLED in order to apply the unrevoked forever patch.
You should get your information straight before you start to put it out.

Wow post like this deserve to go in the shutter. I was helping the Guy out. If he was s on then there is more than a large percentage chance that he isn't rooted. Instead of getting technical I decided to help out in q way he'd understand. So quit being a douche.

I wasn't being a douche. You ever heard of constructive criticism? Op stated he was still rooted and didn't take the ota. He was wondering what would happen if he did. He was also unsure if he was s on or not which has nothing to do with being rooted. You gave wrong information about the security flag when you should have told him to verify if he is s off even though he has a rooted rom. If he was s on then you could have told him to flash unrevoked forever and then he can accept the ota if he wanted.
Helping is one thing, helping with wrong information is another.
Good afternoon,
I searched as best I could for an answer. I recently had my phone replaced because of water damage. The new phone I recieved has version 4.2.651.1 software. Is there anyway to get it back to version 3.x.xxx.x? (waiting for slap) If there is a way, please let me know. I would like to root my phone but as I've read in the forums, 4.2.651.1 cannot be rooted.
Thanks,
CJ
It's funny that your FIRST POST IS AS GAY AS THIS. if it can't be rooted, then it can't be rooted. simple as that. There is an OTA online waiting for you. go update your phone. LMAO! no joke. that is going to be the answer in the long run. The problem to rooting the phone will be clearly in the next OTA. As everyone on here says don't upgrade an OTA, but well, that's the answer. :-D

There's no need for a reply like that. On topic - basically as long as you have the gingerbread update you can't root your phone. There are some phones with the gingerbread update that can be rooted but I think its a temp hack only.

No need for gay slurs man. Lets just be cool
As for the OP, no, unfortunately no way to go back...it's sad I know. I had to get s on and unroot for a repair (knowingly of course) and now i kinda wished I still had a broken screen. Hehe. Until someone hacks the hboot 2.16 to allow us to downgrade to an older one we cannot get s off and consequently no permanent root, not that there is temp root either.
But if you like different Rosie mods there is a link in my signature about being unrooted. See if you can find anything there

not cool.
OP, from what I've gathered, a few people have received refurbished EVO's w/Gingerbread that have s-off from probably previous owners rooting their phones. If you received a refurb'd evo with s-off, I do believe you can flash on old RUU. More authoritative figures could confirm or dis confirm this.
Please boot into bootloader and tell us of you are s on or s off.
To do so turn off fast boot in settings then turn off phone, then hold volume Down kkey and power button
