Can 3.26.651.6 be rooted?

Hi,
Today I bought my wife a Sprint Evo with 2.2 & 651.6. My evo is rooted already. I used a one click root application.
Can hers be rooted?
Thanks
Rich

yeah i was gonna say .6 has been rooted a while ago

I can confirm the unrevoked method on the ve
rsion you are asking about. As it is the same one I am using, and now rooted with.

Is that fully rooted & you can install Anon Recovery? I keep seeing -s or +S, & I am not sure what thats about.
Is the unrevoked method full nand unlock as well?

yeah its full nand unlock

Thanks guys! I am all set & running Fresh (well she is)!

just so you know everyone of the guides is using Unrevoked forever to unlock nand there is nothing better right now since the unlock they use is actually as they say forever

Yea there's nothing wrong with the newer unrevoked. Full nand.

Unrevoked is the easiest way
I just rooted my evo like a week ago.. with unrevoked.. and its working great.. i think its the easiest way to root it. just install the drivers first. really easy..
GOOD LUCK

Thanks to everyone! Then i just probably'll use unrevoked!

Same here, I've used unrevoked for some time and no problems

I'm new to the Evo. (Q) about rooting and recovery.

Im not new to XDA tho, I've been on the Epic forums for a few years. But I couldn't take the lack of support the Epic has. So i just traded in my Epic today and I was wondering what the best, most stable way to root, and install a custom recovery on my Evo. Also, I'm not new to flashing, or adb shell. I know there's a few different ways to root, and install a custom recovery, so I'd be very grateful for someone to point me in the right direction. I heard that the Evo forums are the best at XDA. Thanks so much for your help.

We haz some good people here.
Easiest method is to use unrevoked; download the hboot drivers, install then uninstall htc sync, enable usb debugging on phone, then run the program.
For recovery, it'll come with clockwork [unrevoked flashes it], you can then switch to amon_ra if you wish via PC36IMG file; both can be found in the development section.
And welcome, be wary of the trolls, don't feed them.

If ur phone has the newest software (2.3) on it then u r SOL. If ur are still on stock 2.2 then just run unrevoked or look for the auto-root thread and follow that.

if you are using Gingerbread (software 4.22.651.2 or the new OTA: 4.24.651.1), there is no method of root just yet.
but if you are running FroYo (3.70.651.1) you are in luck
the method i used was this: [ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02/2.10 SOFF - Goodbye Stranger - Upd. 02.25.11 - xda-developers
but you can use any of the ones that are in the stickies in the Development section
after you are rooted, I highly recommend using Amon_RA recovery (and so do most on xda lol) follow the instructions in this thread: [Recovery] [09-Feb-2011] RA-supersonic-v2.3 - xda-developers
hope this helps you out. and welcome to the rEVOlution!!

I got 2.2 on my phone. Thanks very much for the help guys/girls. So what would happen if I had 2.3, instead of 2.2?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

You would have a locked bootloader that couldn't be rooted since there is no root method yet glad you still have 2.2

I came from your exact situation and I can tell you this THIS PHONE IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more supported and FIXES are HERE! and not in the works =P like the (EPIC)
I'll answer your questions with what I did and also point out that the method I have used for root isn't the most recommended way.
Unrevoked is what used to root do it at your own risk people say, my response(It works for me) ALSO YOU CAN'T ROOT IF YOUR ALREADY on Gingerbread =/ so if you are you gotta wait till they figure out how to root it.
Also I came from an epic i KIND OF FELL in love with Miui rom on the EPIC EVEN WITH ITS bugs, battery on Miui is amazing I also love having just 1 homescreen with 3 folders of apps(tools,Misc/Games/Navigation) BW clock so easy to find what I need and the app management and ect is so fluid even settings menu and all menus for that matter ARE FAST and the built in explorer app is fantastic... try miui for evo u wont regret it my man!
flash amon ra recovery! dont use clockwork its buggy sometimes
if you need detailed instructions i dont have them in front of me and im not a big fan of XDA's search it kind of sucks NO OFFENSE but the filtering process needs work it should be like the forum.mobilisim.org BY FAR THE BEST SEARCH PROCESS! always gets me what I want in 1 search

Definitely try MIUI rom its the best its very sexy
I actually had like six girls tell me my phone was sexy

Pay for rooting my phone....

So I recently received a new or refurbished EVO from Sprint. It has the new 2.18 hboot and 5.0.....update. question is I'm willing to pay someone to root my phone using revolution method. Only if ur near the Downey, California area.
I had an old EVO that got the bootloop of death after 2years being rooted using unrevoked. I was reading that unrevoked can sometimes cause this issue. I want to use the revolution method.
Thanks for any replies.

Can't use Revolutionary to root Hboot 2.18. You have to use the HTCdev method. Info can be found here:

I didn't know the HTC dev and revolutionary was 2 different steps. Nice to know.

Another question if you or anyone else can help. There's a specific part on the video he states that if all I want is tethering and bloat removal I don't need s-off.
All I want is the Sprint stuff removed tethering and maybe add a few 3g and 4g speed tweaks. Can I do that without being s-off?

Yes. The only thing s-off offers is flashing kernels thru recovery and flashing radios pretty much.
Btw use flash image GUI for kernels if not s-off

Interesting. I've flashed kernels on my current phone through recovery, and I'm still s-on. No issues, either.

Very nice. That's exactly what I wanted. Kernel with sound enhancement.
Tether and data tweaks. I always thought I had to be fully rooted with s-off for kernels to work.

Getting excited now. Last couple questions... There's other tweaks caine has for 5.07 roms(quick settings...). Can I also flash those? Or do I have to be s-off?
Last question the wireless tether app should work just by having supersu and being unlocked or do I have to tweak the system to unlock the tethering service(sprint).

Not exactly sure what you're asking in the first part of your question, but you should be fine. As for the hotspot feature, you just have to be rooted, not s-off for that to work. Most rooted ROM's for the EVO include the hotspot, although some users prefer to use one of the apps from the Play Store.

Love the roms out there,but I want to keep my phone close to stock. I noticed most roms have the hotspot added. Most say hotspot tweak or unlooked hotspot added. So I thought I needed a specific tweak. Or remove a system file.
As for the first question. A dev created or added quick settings flashable zip to the new ota Rom. I wanted to know if I can successfully flash this zip? Hopefully that makes more sense.

This is the feature I'm talking about. Calkulin made a new deodexed ota Rom and ca1ne created this feature in a flashable zip.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31007484

That should work fine. It's just a script to add some customization to the ROM.

Great.... Too late now. Lol. Even if I leave s-on it voided right? I'm guessing yes since I entered that long token code.

I wouldn't sweat it.

The "simonsimons34 Wildfire S tool" that is used in that thread is not available. The service that was hosting the download file, some how messed it up or lost it or something, and the developer is having to recreate it. No time estimate on availability that I know of.

[Q] EvO 4G... ruu update help

Hey guys. I recently rooted my HTC EvO 4G and installed a bunch of custom roms and i wanted to switch back to the stock rom for the EvO. I downloaded the ruu and flashed it and everything's fine, but its running 2.2. I hooked it up to my computer to check for software updates, and it said it had one. I downloaded it and clicked update now. The problem occurred when the update was taking place. It looked like it was updating in recovery.. im not sure.. it said that it could not update and now im stuck with 2.2. Please help??

You could always run Unrevoked to re-root and then flash a stock rooted ROM, that way you'd have the stock feel to the phone so to speak, but still have root access.
