Well here's the thing im running 2.2 already because I recently bought my evo ......wen I tried the guide on here it says tht adb doesn't exist and I don't have adb drivers on my evo

The Q&A Forum is more suited for this.

Thread moved to Q&A.

How about you give us some details about your phone and what you have tried? What software version are you running? Clearly you haven't tried every method because the Evo is rootable.

Unrevoked 3 will work I used it day before yesterday its really easy
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

you have to get the right drivers for adb to wrk also u need to install htc sync then uninstall it after that follow directions on post on how to root

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 unrevokied 3 is now out of date, thanks to htc's latest security update.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 As for it being outdated as stated by someone else, I'm unaware of it.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.

Man i dont think i can root it via ADB. never done it before. There is no one click root method?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

i am trying to work out the bugs in a 3-command method... adb is not that hard to setup and use.

If u can do that 3 way command that would be easier.

I know its not that hard to use but typing all the commands is what ****s me over

[Q] Goldcard?

Hello just one question, I have rooted my desire with unrevoked and using a custom from LeeDroid, all working great only thing is if I wanted to get my phone back to stock Ruu, do I need a goldcard and can I create a goldcard even now that I have rooted and using a custom rom?

superb just reading up on it now, unrooting not that I want to just in case.

What was your original rom? If there's one on shipped roms from your provider, you may not need a gold card.
Have you got the original roms details?

Yes I have already downloaded the original one
RUU_Bravo_Froy2_UK_2.14.207.1_Radio_32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2_release_144166_signed
done that befor I even started rooting with it being signed that mean I dont need goldcard I hope so

If that's the same rom that was originally on it, then you wont need a goldcard
You could still create one tho! now you've been reading up. It wont do any harm at all.

S-ON tool. Flash BEFORE you run the RUU.

Download the 3.70 RUU
And they will say use google, cuz it will turn up the answers.

That only happens if you use that z4root thing, which gives you a temporary root, and lost upon rebooting.

Hey I used the Z4root on the evo but it doesn't work
Sent from my HTC EVO using XDA App

If it didn't work, I personally can't advise you because I've never used it. I think it more beneficial to go for the solid root. Unrooting for whatever reason is easy to do.

OK if I root my phone with with unrEVOked and Its update come out will I have to unroot my phone or can i just update it like regular and it will just unroot the phone??
Sent from my HTC EVO using XDA App

If you root your phone with unrevoked, you'll be fine. You don't have to re-run it when a new version of unrevoked comes out. If there is an update for your rom, you just flash it in recovery.

G2 with desire z hboot problem

Normally when you flash a DESIRE Z HBOOT ON A g2 THE PHONES DOENT COME ON AND IS NORMALLY AT THE HTC LOGO WHICH IS NORMAL (I KNOW) MY QUESTION IS WHY IS MY PHONE NOT SATYING ON THE G2 LOGO BUT RATHER BOOTING INTO MY PREVIOUS ROM BEFORING UPDATING THE HBOOT TO THE DESIRE Z'S?

Didn't the wiki guide have two sections during the root process? One to setup DZ hboot and another for regular if you didn't want to do it at that time? Perhaps you followed the DZ hboot setup during rooting thinking it was part of the normal process?
Or maybe I'm just nuts. It was a long time ago when I did mine.

I followed the link on the virtous site

If it was to load a sense based ROM then I'd assume that loading the DZ hboot was part of the tutorial. It is required to run sense ROMs.

That link for the DZ Hboot isn't going to work because it's to my Dropbox account and I've deleted the file... I don't use DB for long term storage. If anyone needs it and can't find it elsewhere you can PM me. And if you want to share it please link to your own hosting service.

I sent Ptaylor09 the file a couple days ago and I'll make sure I send it to bombaider in a bit. If you want, I can send you a Dropbox invite which will afford us both additional storage space. Then you can easily share files thru your public folder. Just PM me with your email if you're interested.

You're NOT going to want to use Visionary... it's outdated and when you use it you run the risk of bricking her device. Should be stickies to this effect in several places. The best resource for rooting is going to be found here under "Rooting the Vision (G2/DZ)".

They are separate... SIM-unlock, hence the name, allows you to use different carrier's SIM cards... if you followed the wiki thoroughly to root with gfree, you'll have SIM-unlock... otherwise, no those "one-click" methods do not unlock your SIM.
