Is it possible that someone here starting to working on rooting EVO after Froyo OTA?

I've been using my EVO for a while, and I did OTA to Froyo last night. I would like to try root it after a while, just want to know if there were anyone starting to work on the way for the EVO after Froyo upgrade?
Or, for non-rooted evo, can i do downgrade to old version official ROM, then root it?

Not possible yet...if you were previously rooted and updated to OTA im sure you knew what you were doing and the consiquences because its all over the forums...for now you're just going to have to wait it out....no word on root-able 2.2 yet.

I know unrevoked is working on a root but unless it has full nand unlock I wouldn't use it.

Well will be happy when someone does I want a stock rooted 2.2. Now im also wondering if there is a new way we have to root. Seems like everytime we get an update they have to come up with a new way to root. I have looked and read almost everything. Was wondering if someone can help a little. Sorry for hi-jacking OP.

almost every update they will fix the current way we root. there already is and has been a stock 2.2 rooted in development forums. Before you can use it you have to be rooted however and if you are already on stock 2.2 that could be a while for them to find a way to exploit a bug to let you root again.

OK was making sure that rooted stock was good. Also i thought there wasnt a way to root yet from a 2.2, just making sure. Thanks!

You are right.. If you have 2.2 unrooted on your phone you cannot root it at this time. However if you have a 2.1 rooted phone you can flash a 2.2 Rooted ROM. Rooting a ROM pre-installed is different than rooting a ROM that is already installed on your phone.

nah, i didn't root my phone on 2.1. and i do know if i rooted, I should avoid official OTA when it cames, cuz it's highly possible to brick your phone, and at least, you will ruined your root for sure.
I guess i have to wait for a while to see someone publish confirmed way to do that.
what about downgrade? if so, how does it work?

You cannot downgrade. The upgrade to 2.2 updates your HBOOT. None of the RUU's will accept this updated HBOOT, causing the installation to error out.
Sorry man. You're just going to have to be patient on this.

Will there be an effort to Root HTC 2.2?

[Q] How to Root Evo 3.26.651.3
Hi,
I'm stuck on the leaked Froyo update, had tried simple root and unrevoked and not luck, does anybody knows how to root HTC EVo 4G Froyo 2.2
software version 3.26.651.3 (beginer here)

Not possible on that version yet.

for now their is nothing you can do untill either HTC sends an OTA update to allow you to get the newest OTS Update or untill someone figures out a new root method for 2.2

God forbid a question go in the Q&A Forum.

Maybe you can flash a stock previous OTA (the 1.76 one) then try simple root? Maybe you can install 2.2 rooted after that?

There is another forum post that says you can go to the sprint store and they will downgrade you to 1.47 as long as you have .3. I am going to go try to do this today and then try to root after.

Is there enough demand for someone to develop a root for the new Froyo on the Evo?
I wonder if everyone who wanted to be rooted did not update on the OTA Froyo.
I did not see any reason to root when it seemed that all the roms had issues before the update.

It is not a question on will there be people trying to do this. I am sure a lot of the devs are. The question is will they be able to find an exploit to be able to.

There just does not seem to be any urgency to root Froyo. I see not mention in any of the forums I monitor.

????????????????????? uh What?
Q - Is there enough demand for someone to develop a root for the new Froyo on the Evo?
A - Of Course... really doesn't even need to be asked
Q - I wonder if everyone who wanted to be rooted did not update on the OTA Froyo.
A - Everyone that wanted to be rooted, were rooted, and probably upgraded to the rooted .3 pre-release and then upgraded to the rooted .6 final release
Q - I did not see any reason to root when it seemed that all the roms had issues before the update
A- What? You can root without flashing a rom... Why? Many reasons of which one is to be able to tether without paying Sprint a stupid fee for using the wifi router which doesn't need a custom rom.
But I don't quite know what you mean by "all" the roms had problems.... Simply not true, Most of the roms are and have been nothing more than stock roms with root access, with Sprint crap removed or mabey small changes in icons, lock screens, or rosies. The only time people start having issues in when you get into overclocking and changing kernels for reasons like higher fps's or 5 point multitouch. I have been running 2.1 roms with nothing broken or not working and 2.2 roms (.3 and .6) with everything working fine(4g, wifi tether, fps fix, overclocked, 5 point multitouch, etc)
The only people at this point that are waiting for a 2.2 root are the people that were too stupid impatient to wait 2 hrs before the .3 was rooted and reverted to stock to flash the pre-release 2.2 or people that updated first before realizing how much nicer it is to have a rooted phone.
Everyday new EVO owners are bringing there new phones home by the thousands and getting online trying to see how they can get root. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to find out that the devs here have found a way to root a new 2.2 EVO before you even read this.

The Unrevoked team is working on it, but they don't have real root in the first place.

+1 Exactly

Its only been out for 5 days calm down. Im pretty sure the devs chat with each other through im and what not. as well i rather see them working on a root process then posting on here. if you want root then you should of not updated if you had no choice because you got the phone after the 31st - 1st then your sol right now

Two wrongs don't make a right....
OP....be patient young grasshopper....

Don't see no reason why not. It's an open source OS it's only a matter of time for a dev to find a way. Let's just hope for all of your guys that are not rooted or decided to un root to get 2.2, it's sooner rather than later.

I am willing to test it when it come out. It's only a phone.

I noticed something interesting when I stopped by the Sprint store yesterday.
There was an older gentleman there purchasing an Evo. I felt a little sad because I knew that poor phone would never get hax'd. The manager instructed the sales person to charge the phone and make sure to run the update after activation.
My guess is that the majority of Evos from this point on will come with Froyo, so I'm sure there will be an effort to root.

I would like to see a one step method to root that has a hundred pages of "Thank You" rather that the hundred pages of problems and explanations I see now.

then do it yourself.

Did it work? Did they downgrade you?

Android-wifi-tether on Rooted 2.2?

So I justed rooted my phone and the first thing I wanted to try is the Wireless Tether app. It seems that I'm able to get my laptop connected to the wireless but no internet connection. Looks like I might need the Netfilter-enabled kernel to make this work. If so anyone of you know how to get this enabled or install? I know it will work with a custom ROM but I like the stock Sense ROM and I'm still waiting on the official Fresh 3.2 release. So in the mean time it would be great to get it to work on a stock rooted 2.2 ROM.

Install this and you should be good to go.

You are awesome, that apk did the trick. Uninstall the one I install from the market and install this one worked. Thanks a lot for you help.

Glad to help

Hi, I am Wondering what you mean by Stock Rooted 2.2 Rom. I have one of the First released Evo's. I have done a number of things to it. Right Now I am Running 1.47 with Full root (Unrevoked 4 ever s-off) I have Clock work Recovery. I am trying to get to 2.2. I sounded like I would be able to just revert Recovery and Flash the OTA to 2.2 then install the newest Wireless tether. That didn't work. It appears that super user wasn't working right so I uninstalled super user and Applied the newest version from the market.
I still can't get my phone upgraded. I tried flashing a rooted 2.2 but got stuck in an Endless reboot cycle.
I am just wondering what 2.2 Rom you used. I would like to keep my phone a stock as possible with the exception of being able to run wireless tether and my other root programs (autostarts, root explorer, titanium)
I just can't figure out what I am missing
Thanks,

I'm sure he's talking about the new root method for evo's that had the official 2.2 release installed. Once you go back to 2.1 and root they have you install a rooted version of stock 2.2 build with sense.

THANKS!!!!!
You made me look in a Different Direction. I was able to Apply the Sprint OTA update Using Clockwork and before rebooting Apply the 22root.zip people have been using to root on the 2.2 phones to Upgrade (No Data Loss) my phone a completly stock Sprint Software with 2.2 rooted.

Just wanted to say thanks for posting the .apk! I was having the exact same problem as the OP, and this fixed it for me too! I wonder what's different about this apk vs. the one in the market?

It is a rebuild that they are testing for froyo. The one in the market is for eclair.
You can get all the experimental versions and information and updates here http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

As long as i install the file, it works awesome.

Do u install on phone or comp and how do u do it I used unrevoked 3.32 to root but wifi-teather needs netfilter enabled kernel what do I do?

[Q] Problem loading HTC 3.29.651.5 Update

I just tried to load the HTC update 3.26.651.6 to 3.29.651.5 on an unrevoked EVO and ended up getting the little droid dude and a triangle with a exclamation point inside of it.
What does this mean? Is this an error and/or was I suposed to do something to load the software? Do I even want or need this update? Tethering at 4G is currently working great w/o the update.

same thing happened to me.
I think I'm just gonna install the fresh rom through recovery

It's probably failing if you removed any of the stock Sprint applications.
This is also assuming you are running the stock ROM.
The main reason to get the 3.29 update is that this unlocks the 30FPS cap on the EVO. The average FPS on this kernel seems to be in the low 50's. Everything feels pretty snappy. Really good update.
I'm really against updating OTA through Sprint when you're rooted, since bad things may happen (lose root, etc).
3 methods you can do:
1. Install the stock ROM backup as it was when you first rooted (you did backup immediately after rooting before you did anything,... right???). Then run the update and let it break root. Then run Unrevoked 3.21 again.
2. There's a method in the Development section on how to force the 3.29 update on your phone.
3. Install a custom ROM that includes this update. (Fresh 3.3.0.1 I know uses this update)

Thanks for the clues.
I do not beleive that I removed any of the stock apps and my rom should be stock. Yes I am locked at 30fps & I have heard good things about the battery life associated with the upgrade. I guess I started running before I was walking so I only did several drag and drop backups. I have since TB and nand backed do not like the Sprint upgrades, tried anyway and it did not work. Downloaded dev upgrades and will attempt them.
Thanks and sorry about the learning curve issues.

I too am getting the Triangle/Exclamation Point & Droid Dude after attempting to update....ugh, how do I fix???

Sprint updates do not work on a rooted device. Un root or re-rom

If your rooted do not ever try two update your phone via Sprint you could brick phone.

Rooting Evo with Baseband 2.15.00.11.19

I read and learned that I can use Unrevoked forever after rooting using Unrevoked 3. I would like to know what else I need to do before flashing MIUI 1.6.24. This is the first time I'm rooting a non-samsung device.
Thank you
Edit: I noticed that MIUI 1.6.24 currently has many bugs, which rom has decent battery life along with a different UI compared to stock sense.

I don't believe unrevoked supports any samsung devices yet; i think samsung has odin, or something like that.
Also CM7 is nice.

I was asking how to root an Evo, my Epic is already rooted using one click root.
I learned how to root the Evo and ended up putting Synergy nightly on it. Thanks for the help.
