I just bought this Evo today, and I really want to root it just like I did my Hero (so I have experience with roms and command prompt) but I dont know which root guide to use. There are a few I found, and since it's a brand new Evo with the latest OTA's, software's etc, I don't want to use the wrong guide and brick my phone. What would be the best guide to follow for this latest model?
Everything I see is for different softwares and hardware 0004.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Sorry, thanks. Right now I'm looking at this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045&page=4
Anyone else have any ideas?
I'm having a few issues with the first few steps. If anyone could help, it would be awesome. Kinda a drawback of having a brand new version. Also making sure all my Android SDK is all installed
Im having trouble with step 2.) Open a command prompt and change to where ever you extracted the files to.
I have the folder extracted to: C drive -> HTC Evo
All the extracted files are in HTC Evo folder. How do I do this in command prompt? The rest I can do. I rooted my old Hero just fine. I just need the steps for the first few parts. I get HTC or whatever is not recognixed as an internal or external command etc. I have the HTC sync software all succesfully installed and everything rebooted.

Honestly the easiest way to root these days is using Unrevoked
As far as I know it will work on any Evo. You will need to hboot drivers which you can find here. Also, make sure that you have HTC Sync uninstalled, as it gave me problems when I rooted.
edit: I am not sure of the new versions you speak of, but you could probably give Unrevoked a try anyways.
Do not use unrevoked or it could pemanently corrupt your radio or boot loader
I never heard of that happening to users using the unrevoked method.
I suggest subscribing to their Twitter. They let us know when and how to OTA update.

I am having problems as well. I've tried unrevoked and several other manual methods to root the EVO I just bought yesterday, and no luck!
From what I can tell, the HBOOT version is 2.02.0000 and everything I've found online is for an older version of HBOOT.
Does anybody know how to downgrade this new HBOOT? The only thing I've found in the forums is for downgrading an older version of HBOOT. And please no methods that require .NET.
Try zBoot on the market. I used it to root my GF's Optimus-S. It works with a lot of phones, and although they say it isn't supported with the EVO, I have read that some people have had success.
Ok, I cross-posted to the CM forums too, here's the response that I got:
You won't be able to downgrade the hboot. and your camera will not work on cm for now since htc is using new hardware for the camera in the 2.02.0000 versions.
Follow this to root and get S-off.

Goddamit stop trying unrevoked it doesn't work with new hboot (software 3.30) and that zbot thing doesn't work on NAND protected devices like the evo. You are shortening your phones life. i consider it my duty to help people root in extsnge for downloading all the developers roms. My email, gtalk, and im are all [email protected].

I just rooted my brand spankin new Evo using the below and it worked like a charm! It is even easier than the methods for the older Evos.

that was what i was going to suggest
So I'm looking into this unrEVOked thing, and it seems as though I could root my EVO just fine with it. However my HBOOT is 2.02 and my build number is 3.30.651.3 (this is the part that worried me, since my friend said that a EVO with the hardware version of 0004 and that build number won't be able to be rooted).
My question is basically is there any method of rooting that I could do with no worries? Somebody mentioned to me this method right here but I want to be certain I would be alright with that before I get started. The steps aren't the issue, I'm just trying to do my homework beforehand and be sure I'm ok.
the method you linked will work. unrevoked will not. pm me or gtalk [email protected] for help. i sitll havent gotten a hboot 2.02 person to give me enough time to let me help them root.
I have a 0004 hboot 2.02 device, and used that method. I had many issues during the middle of the process, but made it through using a microSD memory card reader to rename those pc36img.zip files...
Worked great!

Hey Dkdude36, I have questions along the same lines. For hboot 2.02, what other rooting options exist that DO NOT involve the use of Unrevoked's components. Looking through the download files, you'll notice both referenced methods (this and this ) use the file unrevoked-forever. So, what gives?
I am personally on the lookout for a rooting process (for hboot 2.02) that doesnt use that method. The reason being that it's a bit tedious to unroot.
unrevoked forever is different than unrevoked. the methods are completely valid. unrevoked-forever seems to be the key ingredient in rooting 2.02

So, if I currently have hboot 2.02, and I want to 'downgrade' to the eng build .76.2000, what are the steps? Root with whatever flavor of unrevoked-forever that works with my EVO (hardware 003), then flash the hboot .76.2000 downgrade zip? I don't even understand why I need hboot 2.02 versus the earlier builds. Besides it also appears the earlier root methods (1 or 2 clicks, Simple Root 1.47.651.1,etc detailed here will not work on 2.02.).
Got around to rooting the phone just fine using the method I linked. However I can't installed CM 6.1 RC at all. It gets stuck at the white EVO 4G splash screen. I'm assuming it's an issue with 0004 EVO's?

I don't know if that's going to happen anytime soon. I just installed the lastest nightly with snap's 7.6 cfs kernel. Everything works, and I'm super happy! Still use Frost, Fresh, MIUI, Myn's Warm, and everything else too...
tho this may seem like a dumb question i just got my evo over the weekend and i havent stumbled upon the answer yet....how do you know what hboot you have? i see that i have hardware 004 and i see that i have the newest build number i just not sure where or how to tell the Hboot version. Any ideas? Thanks.
Just boot into hboot. Power off, and then hold power and volume down. You are now in hboot.
I've been going back and forth on whether or not to root my evo for the past week, and I think I'm finally up for it. I've done some basic looking around and I believe that I need to follow this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765496. I would like to keep 2.2 and not have to go back down to 2.1. One thing that I did notice was the whole HBOOT ordeal. I checked and I have the .97 version. Is there anything special that I need to do before following the instructions in the link above? I plan on using the stock 2.2 rom and possibly experimenting with different roms in the future. I'd say I'm experienced with computers, although I will admit that I'm new to rooting and have yet to toil with coding. If anyone has any suggestions or a better method, I'm all ears.
i would suggest you follow this method instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
i rooted my evo with the method that you mentioned but that is an older process, it involves downgrading and then upgrading. even though the process will still work, you will be better off using an updated method.

With your hboot you can use unrevoked 3.21 and not have a problem them just download Rom manager and get amon ra recovery img and flash that through Rom manager and you have full root nand unlock and a good custom recovery. Plus its ten times easier

Not to hijack your thread, but I'm also considering rooting my phone to stock android, but have never rooted and have a couple questions.
Why do it? And the software (I guess?) That Evo comes with is designed to work specifically with the Evo(right?)...well if I rooted, is that software or whatever its called (yes, I'm a newbie) designed to take advantage of the Evo hardware etc..?
Thanks
Edit: oh and if I don't like it can I undo it like I never did it in the first place?

First off, Jbcarrera thank you so much for the links (and I LOVE your avater, being a huge AC fan)! I just rooted my evo in I'd have to say about 10 minutes. That's a good question for the seniors here, josh. My phone right now (rooted) looks exactly the same as it did beforehand. All apps still there, sense is still on it, and for me, I'm going to use this to turn on my mobile hotspot feature for free. My way of seeing it (and I'm sure others see it this way too) is that android is OPEN SOURCE carriers will lock features down, and rooting just unleashes the full potential. again, thanks to everyone here, I am sure to visit back often for many tips and tricks!
Hmmm if I were to root I'd want just deadstock original froyo 2.2. No sense no nothing lol.
10 mins is all it took? I'm just nervous, my luck I'll ruin my phone lol

firstly what hboot do you have? 10 mins is for anything with hboot under 2.02. if you don't know how to get to your hboot its easy just turn off your phone and let it power all the way down, next your hold the volume down and power button at the same time and voiala you are in hboot at the top of the phone it will state a few things one of them says hboot that number is your version of hboot if it says .97 or below your good to go if not then you will have to root with a more complicated method.

Scared S!ht-less
I recently purchased a White Evo a few weeks ago. I've been reading the forums and in a few months i'll probably look back at this post and LOL at myself. Anyways I have HBOOT 2.02 with S-On. I tried installing Unrevoked when i first got the phone (easier way), but got the infamous "misc error"
I want to make sure I do this right and root the right way. I want to do a complete back up of the stock rom, but i tried doing a recovery with the HBOOT and all i got was a phone with a red triangle. I pulled the battery out and the phone restarted. Got scared.... So how do i do this the right way? Looks like I need to do some sort of nandroid backup, but what and where do i download nandroid? I also want to install this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808656 I also don't want any radio problems since i have great 4g service. Do i need to do a backup of radio files since i also want to do this mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073
Thanks and hope you can help me out.

Yeah - This Thread is pretty helpful to me as well... Im still reading greek 'cause - although Im no noob when it comes to tech challenges I am a noob to rooting. I taught my self Homebrew for PSP, How to build themes for my PS3, how to write HTML for my website and have always been good at learning this kind of stuff on my own, BBUUTTTT I also like to read ALOT before I do some thing. This thread is now book marked and will probably be referred back to a million times...lol - THANKS!!
I have a ton of questions but I am searching the forums for the answers - I will probably be posting up my own thread when I get done doing my current research.

Exactly if you have .97 or below simply use unrevoked3 one click root works great and installs clockworkmod recovery bootloader. My one recommendation after that is to then download Rom Manager and flash the bootloader to Amon_RA and do a nandroid backup before deciding to flash any roms. Clockwork does not create a wimax image and people have been having issues while trying to flash the wimax. I personally created a nandroid using clockwork then flashed to Amon and did another backup with it. Safe is better then sorry.

I don't think.... no I'm pretty sure that he can't use unrEVOked on this device. He has 004 hardware and the latest build which leads me to believe he has 2.02 hboot. Which won't work with unrEVOked. But I'm sure if he followed the post ↑ above mine he has it rooted already.

Do not use unrevoked, it will hose the new phones.
If you turn off your phone and hold vol down while turning it back on it will come up with a white screen and give a hBoot version at the top. That will determine what method you need to use. If it is 2.02 you'll have to use the method made up for that one, otherwise any of the other methods for Froyo should work fine.
Extract to a folder of your choice. I recommend the root of C:\ into a folder of your choice or on the desktop. Make sure you have the drivers installed for your phone (recommend: SDK Drivers, unrevoked hboot drivers) and USB debugging is on.
does anyone have the links to the drivers, and the unrevoked hboot drivers?
14) You Should be in the recovery menu now (green text screen). Do a backup by navigating the menu. Once thats done, follow the on screen instructions and reboot or flash a rom of your choice. Reboot. If you flashed a custom rom cool. If not no big deal eitherway. Do a PRL/Profile update while in the rom after the phone is done rebooting. Your Done.
do I NEED to flash a custom rom? or can I use the stock rom, while being rooted?
Bump, sorry for this..
is the unrevoked hboot drivers this?
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install
also where is the SDK link?
I'm excited to do this, but I don't want to mess up my phone, since I just got it yesterday, lol.

I just rooted my gf's 004 white evo using http://www.wackynoodle.com/hboot202-s_off-V71.zip
from this thread. However, the instructions from illogos in the quotes on page 121 of the same thread would probably make things easier. Make sure to follow all the steps. I have Myn's current warm 2.2 rom running on her 004 evo now and it's buttery smooth.
I just got my girlfriend the Droid Incredible yesterday, retunred that POS LG ALLY. She's not a phone fanatic like me, so she wont be changing Roms everyday. I just want to clean it up for her, remove some bloatware, speed it up, give her more battery life, etc. I know there's probably a 1000 threads about rooting the Incredible, so I do apologize, with my son and work it's very hard to search through all these topics.
I'm just curious where to begin? What is the best root method, what does S-OFF S-ON mean and so on? I'm guessing the best root method is unrEVOked, but there is a unrEVOked Forever and unrEVOked 3.22? I wish there was a F.A.Q w/ all this info. I have my Droid X rooted but it was a lot easier than this, all I did was use Z4Root and w/ 1 click I was rooted. This seems like a lot?

Unrevoked 3.22 is the way to go. One click root, I believe. Unrevoked forever lets you flash things without them being signed, so you can root even if there has been an update released which isn't rootable (for a while at least, the guys at unrevoked are sly ). S on just means it needs the signatures and stuff. Also, I'm not sure if unrevoked 3.22 will flash the special recovery for SLCD screens (I'm assuming that's what your wife has since it was bought yesterday). If you have a black screen with white bars on the side while in recovery, download this http://dougpiston.com/files/Recovery/PB31IMG_cwm_mod.zip rename it PB31IMG.zip and put it on the root of the sd card. Then boot into hboot, wait for it to scan and pick it up, then vol up for yes to apply. I always reboot for good measure. I'm not sure if you have to be s off or not to run that and have it work. I'm pretty sure 3.22 makes you s off anyways, so you should be good there. And if you don't want to be s off, theres a way to go back to s on again. Theres a link for it somewhere on http://unrevoked.com/forever if you wish to go back. Need anything else covered?

Yep, that file is clockwork mod. And hboot is the menu that pops up after you hold either the trackpad or vol down and turn on the phone. And its ok, everybodies gotta learn sometime any other stuff that needs to be cleared up?
Edit: hardware number would help too, as it would clarify whether or not its a SLCD or AMOLED display. If its 0002, its AMOLED. If its 0003, its SLCD.

Bump for related Q:
I have used Unrevoked 3.22 to root my slcd inc with the slcd friendly image.
Been using warm 2.2 and loving it.
currently sitting pretty with S-OFF and curious as to whether or not anyone has more info on forever being slcd friendly.
Also can I flash a new splash with s-off even though I have not run forever.
I also noticed that the splash screen is an .img file and was unsure if that needed to be slcd friendly, or does that not matter?
Thanks!
Comming from an HTC vogue (followed incubus, amazing dev) that was super easy to unlock/root, and even flash to nand android, the incredible was definitely a bit more of a nuisance.
Thanks to a great community who has given me a whole new appreciation for the mobile phone!!!!!
Edit: Bal, that's definitely an slcd, follow the instructions to a "T" from the faq you linked earlier. Be patient and you will do fine, I went through the exact same process...

Everything should be set for unrevoked 3.22. As the other guy said, just follow the steps exactly and you should be good to go.

Since you ran unrevoked 3.22 its like you ran forever as well. Its built in with 3.22. As long as it says s off, you should be good to change your splash to whatever you want. I don't think the splash needs to be a different format, it SHOULD be ok. Not too sure, but I don't think it would cause problems. If anyone else can shed some light on this, it would be appreciated.

Thanks!
decided to roll the dice
Splash screen works!
Sorry for the thread jack but I rooted my phone a while ago and since than there is a system update that keeps coming back, if I enter restart and install it just counts down than stops and nothing happens, but I always keep getting the pop-up that an update is available, how could I turn that off? if becomes really annoying with it coming up all the time.
The update says its a software update of vcast, slacker and other things.
any help greatly appreciated.

If you want to make your phone think its on the latest software, go into build.prop in /system using your preferred method (adb pull, edit, adb push, or root explorer), and find the line that says "ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/xxxxxx:user/release-keys" and change the xxxxxx to 264707, (if in root explorer, save) then reboot. After the reboot, it'll nag you maybe once or twice, but then it'll go away and about>software update will say its up to date. Or, if you want to permanently disable ota updates, you can rename the file otacerts.zip (which is in /etc/security) to otacerts.zip.bak . That's just what I've heard, I can't personally vouch for that method, since I've never done it. But the build.prop works.
