Ok, so I have a samsung captivate, and with the captivate i do not have to root to flash recovery and then a custom ROM.
But, my friend has an EVO and wants a ROM. Only problem is he's running 2.2, which as I've read hasn't been rooted for evo yet.
So, can I bypass needing root by simply flashing recovery and flashing custom ROM?
Regards
Smith

Yes, you can root 2.2 and no you can not bypass it

it says step 4 wipe?
and step 5 install rom? what does that mean.. im already rooted with unrevoked 3
i was on 2.2 i downgraded to 2.1 then did the root...is there any clearer instructions? thanks !
Unrevoked isn't correct root look in the sticky topics to root correctly you need to boot into recovery to wipe when you do you select wipe the select dalvic catch and wipe data factory reset then select flash rom select cm then wait until its done then reboot you have installed cm I'll see if I can find I link for rooting

i did wipe then i went to install and it didnt work
Yes you can should be fine unrevoked isn't full root i.e. root/nand unlock its just root you need nand unlocked so follow the tutorial from the beginning. Its like starting over no biggie the reason it said to use unrevoked because its a root method just not a full root method

Yes. If you want CM6 you need the ENG bootloader. Look in my sig.

Did you change kernals I heard there were gps problems with cm and kernals what cm are you running? Cm6 rc2 from 8_15 or the nightly? Also try putting the power control widget on you're screen and pushing the gps button on that that's been my fix in several roms some of them have it off by default

I just learned that the current iteration of BFS breaks GPS on many devices. BFS isn't part of CM, but if you're using one of the custom kernels with BFS and your GPS isn't working, thats the cause.

finally got CM6 after unrooting Stock 2.2 Evo with unrevoked method after installing eng bootloader.
I rooted 2.2 froyo, and used unrevoked forever. S is unlocked but I am unable to install any cm6 roms. Does this mean nand is still locked on my phone? And if so what do I do to unlock it as I am wery about repeating the wrong steps. Thanks
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You are going to have to install the eng-bootloader in order to use the cm6 ROMs.
If you have not flashed any ROMs on your phone you should be at 2.1
Now you need to follow the rest of the instructions and install the eng-bootloader from the pc36img.zip

I have installed other roms currently running the latest fresh rom
I never updated my bootloader when I rooted my 2.2 froyo.. I have cm6. Maybe I lucked out.

I'm rooted and I have that exact version. I used unrevoked 3 to root my EVO.

I have the same evo got it like a week ago I used the hboot s-off guide under android development but only problem I had with that program was that I couldnt access recovery so then I used unrevoked to flash clockworkmod revovery do this at your own rish though I messed my first evo up by just using unrevoked camera wouldnt work im 14 I think you will be able to figure out how to use the hboot guide but when you flash a rom make sure its a 3.30.651.3 other wise you camera wont work im using OmegeEvo v1.1 by racism

Where do u get unrevoked 3 at? Do i get that from the market and will it brick my phone? Can i use any rin with it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
do not use unrevoked it will permanently curropt your radio. unrevokied 3 is now out of date, thanks to htc's latest security update. use an alternative method if you happen to have a mac, i have a very nice 2 or 3 command root kit for you... testers wanted
So u cant use unrevoked 3? I do not have a mac i have a pc. I really want root mine. Im coming from the hero

I did not have any problems rooting my EVO using Unrevoked3. I followed the simple instructions and the process was painless. Before getting my EVO, I rooted my Droid Incredible using Unrevoked3. As for it being outdated as stated by someone else, I'm unaware of it. Check out the second link above and read for yourself. Happy Thanksgiving.

unrevoked does not work on any 3.30 evo software because of the new hboot security. it will not gain root, just corrupt the radio.

Ok so I updated my phone to 2.3.3. Now can I still root it without loosing anything including the stock ROM?
If there is a root method that works for 2.3.3, then yes. Check the unrevoked website and other root related sites and see if it is possible.

No root method for 2.3.3 yet. If you're s on, you're out of luck until a new exploit is discovered.

Just use what I posted above, its the easiest method to root 2.2. All you need to do is restart to clear the temp root.

Unrevoked will install clockwork, then you can install amon RA. Lets not jump the gun you still need root lol.
the way your rooting right now is the way i rooted my phone! i think i ran into that exact same problem back then too....i think i pulled my battery and started over....i cant remember...its been like 7-8 months.
also...what you can do...is run the RUU for 2.2 to wipe your phone (also do a factory reset beforehand too and back up your sd card on your comp) and then start over.
or try a different way...try unrevoked or xHausx's method: [ROOT] ~~~ HTC EVO - Auto Root ~~~ v2.5 (4/25/11) - xda-developers
after you got your evo rooted....flash Amon_RA recovery ([Recovery] [09-Feb-2011] RA-supersonic-v2.3 - xda-developers)
hopefully this helps ya out!
