Hello guys. I was wondering if someone.could please help me with rooting my wife's evo. I'm not familiar with the evo. I've been researching it the.past couple days. My question is in the wiki I see the universal auto root but that uses unrevoked. I have just been reading that unrevoked causes problems so I was wondering if there.is a better way than using the unrevoked. My wife's evo is hardware 4 hboot 2.10 radio-2.15.00.11.19 and on software.version 3.70. So does using unrevoked cause.problems? Thanks for.all your help.
Nope unrevoked is the best way I love it, press a button boom follow simple instructions and your rooted!

no issue with unrevoked for me have used on 2 evos
if you want to get adventurous, try the link in my sig.
Thank you guys alot. I haven't been keeping up on the evo like I wanted to with the.epic finally getting 2.2 about time. Damn you guys had it for a while and are getting honeycomb to boot up. Amazing work. So if I use unrevoked forever and an update comes out how does that work? I know you get to keep root but what steps do you take? Thanks alot guys for the help.
Dkdude36 that rooting way.looks fun. Its alot.more involved.
haha ya that rooting method is 'fun' its not as hard as it seems though. to update, just flash a rom with the new software. if you dont know how to do this, then you probably should have used the manual root to learn, but i will tell you anyways.
Oh ok I got ya. Think you so much.bro. I appreciate the.help and support. One.more question. I know.its.personal preference but what is your favorite rom/kernel?

my favorite is the newest cm7 nightly (whichever is newest at any given time ) plus savagezen's newest nosbc. savagezen needs like a day of conditioning so you might get bad results the first day. just stay on it and you will be impressed. i get 30+ hrs battery and high 1550's quadrant scores.
Awesome. You guys have alot of options to choose from. I guess I'll look at what you showed me and show the wife and let her find one. Her problem is she loves htc sense. So I might be limited on what I can pick. I really just want to get that bloatware off and overclock it for her to speed it up. So if I use the universal script it flashes Amon ra recovery right? I've never used that before. I have always used clockwork Mod before.

I've always used unrevoked and then when its done I go into recovery and flash amon RA. Its worked multiple times for me. There are a bunch of different sense Roms out there. Warm and mikfroyo are most popular though. Plus a ton of themes and overclocked kernals to go with them. I myself use cm7 but its all personal choice.
If I use the universal root doesn't that flash amon ra recovery for me? Or do I have to do that after.I complete the root?

yep xhausx's auto root does the whole thing. try it it works. and if he doesnt he responds fast and makes it work within the hour.
Will do thanks bro. It looks really easy. I would.love to try cm7 on the evo. I know my wife would hate it but oh well. Once again thank you. You have really helped me understand everything. I always thought the evo was hard to root cause of the nand lock. I guess you could say I was intimidated by it. Just looking around you all have a great community here. Ill definitely be hanging around here a little more.

I'm running mikfroyo 4.6 beta at the moment to tes along with net toast 4.3.2 havsmore sbc... you cant go wrong with mikfroyo 4.5 with net toast 4.3.1 havs...quick. give it a shot and see how you like it
The sbc and nosbc is just how it trickle charges right (nosbc doesn't trickle charge)? How is the battery life with the nosbc one?
Definitely want some better battery life but don't want to kill my battery either. I'm running the sbc one now.

I'm presently running The New Guy v5, and liking it pretty well. I'm curious if someone has tried both The New Guy AND rEVOlution. If so, could you hit the high points of why one might be better than the other in your opinion. I'm just looking for some subjective feedback. These seem to be the predominant ROMs based 100% on the EVO framework. It would be really cool if you've tried the latest and greatest rEVOlution ROM (v9). Trying to decide if it's worth the trouble to flash it and try it out when I am already pretty happy with TNG v5.
Thanks in advance for your input.

First of all, next time don't post a question in the dev section, that what q and a is for!
A little behind huh 2.1 lol. Just flash any Rom most are updated with the latest goodies. Don't bother flashing stock roms, flash a custom.
Youtube a few videos on flashing evo and read some text instructions. Then put two and two together.
Edit: If you what a pure google rom flash a aosp rom. If you are a Htc sense fan then look for custom stock.
Sent from my Hydroid Liquid Evo
please, please, please just answer me this. do you know where i can get a stock custom? i recently flashed cyanogen 6.1.2 and i love it, ****ing amazing. but i like htc sense, because i use the apps alot, and somethings i like more. and i miss my 4G. i dont think a stock custom will have 4G but idc, i just want one like that. a good idea would be something like cyanogen mod but have it sense.
Im running fresh 3.5, netarchy 4.3 no havs no undervolt, seidio 3500 and its great. Been off the charger for 12 hours and at 74% life...very very happy! Running 1190 is my sweet spot. 38ish mflops 1500 quadrant and been completely stableat the speed

Hey guys! I figured you guys can help me out with this question.
I'm considering rooting my phone but I don't really want any custom ROMs. I'm happy with my current theme. I can already tether.
All I really want to do is root and have a move to sd enabler (for those pesky apps that are really cool, kind of big and don't have the move to sd enabled) and freeze my bloatware.
Can I root my phone JUST to do this without changing ROMs?
Can I root my phone and still get updates on my current ROM?
Thanks for your time and your patience with this noob.

This i do not know. I would assume not.
Root your phone and flash sprint lovers rom. Or any 2.2 sense rom still lets you update. Plus you get to remove bloatware and look into other kernels that could give you better speed/battery. Why root and not change roms?

Because I don't know a lot about phones. I don't really want to screw anything up such as my GPS, wifi, or 4G. I'm comfortable with sense and froyo and I like them. My friend has the same phone, rooted his, and I've played with it. It's cool, just not for me. I like the layout of sense.

We're all here to help you bud, no worries. The sprint lovers rom is pretty much just a stock rooted rom with the normal sprint goodies with nothing removed along with a few extra tweaks. The rom is great and sounds about what youre looking for. If you search around the development section you can find really easy methods to root your phone and the sprint lovers thread is also there. I would link it up for you but I'm on my phone not home yet. But ill edit this post and link it up for you check back in like 30 mins. Rooting is very easy now a days and so is flashing. As long as you read first you should be fine. The only people who screw things up are people who don't read or research. If you need anything just pm me ill help you. Good luck
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
hey bro, yes you can root and keep the stock one, but remember IMPORTANT, dont accept sprint OTA updates they will unroot you, also you should consider titanium backup after you root it is usefull for freezing those sprint apps and keep them out of the way.
then try any app2sd of your choice, good luck
and if you ever decide to try roms, is not that hard and instructions aren't that hard my favorite sense rom is azrael xv4 very stable good battery life.

no prob, anytime man.
I just went through this earlier this week. Some of the rooting techniques require you to wipe your phone or flash a rom like sprint lovers, but if you just want root, I used unrevoked. quick and painless, took less than 15 minutes.
Unrevoked will do a lovely job for you, no confusing instructions or mess required. At that point, you can keep your phone on the stock ROM. Rooting does not change your ROM, it just turns the security off so that you have the freedom to do so.
There are many really nice ROMs out there and kernels that will provide better performance and substantially improved battery life.
It's at least worth the research, even if you stick with stock.

You will not be able to accept OTA updates from Sprint while rooted, at risk of losing root, perhaps permanently until someone finds another workaround to exploit.
Most people just wait until their favorite ROM developer releases the new Sprint base.

Haha, jerk. But ok, she just really wants to root it. But yeah, i totally understand your point. She really wanted a temp root because she doesn't like all the bloat. But all y'all have is perm.. She isn't dumb, just new to everything. And I mean 100% new. She won't know how to fix anything. I've explained to her what backups and all that good stuff is. She knows what an RUU is. But if something does go wrong, it's only me. So, I will just tell her to wait a bit and see if a temp comes out.

lol my thoughts exactly.
To be honest though to the OP, if she would come on the forums she would be able to learn real easy with step by step instructions on each ROM she wants to flash.
although if she just wants ROOT then that is fine aswell, but to just have S-OFF isnt much until you install SuperUser and BusyBox. you also want to get Titanium Backup so you can get rid of the bloatware either by freezing it or uninstalling it

Great choice man on a phone but forget the way you thought with the Evo in some cases and do hardcore reading up on your new phone prior to doing anything since it will save the million and one questions you may ask.

Thank you....I do like the thinness of the phone compared to my evo.....it is pretty large though!
I am VERY familar with rooting and restoring roms on my evo, I think I did it about 100+ times.
It was pretty simple, download Unrevoked and bam! I am looking at Odin and Sfhub's one touch root method.....so...One of them should be fine.
I dont understand what the modems are used for. Do most ROMS come with them? I understand that they are used to communicate with Carrier towers...but is the higher version always better? What are they compared to on an Evo, if at all.
Thanks!

Yeah, I just got mine last night and this is what I plan on doing at work today. Mine is on el29 so as I understand it I would want to flash rooted el29 then install cwm in autoroot. Once I've had it for a few days I'll probably start testing out third party roms but I have a weird thing where I like to run stock(ish) for a little bit just so I get to know the phone and know what "baseline" performs like. Also, I already like this phone stock more than the Evo with Sense. Touchwiz seems much less intrusive and overly glossy. Only little annoyance I have is that when I did OTA update to el29 I lost scrolling wallpaper so I may jump to calkulins rom just to get that back.

Ive had my Epic 4g Touch for a couple of days now. Im coming from the Evo 3D. Touchwiz sucks compared to sense but this phone feels more powerful and smooth. Evo 3D also has a bigger dev support here in xda. Hopefully this changes considering this is a relatively new phone. I love the big screen on this phone and how thin it is. Im keeping it untill HTC comes out with at 4.5+ inch phone. Go to youtube and looks for qbkimg77 videos on this phone. They are very helpful.

First of all unrevoked is only for HTC devices in the Dev section you will find the Auto root its quite simple not as Unrevoked but quite helpful, then I would recomend you to run stock with root a couple of days and start with Calkulin's ROM, UnNamed, and other stockish roms with goodies and then flash everything you like as kernels(Rogue Hitman, LosKernel,etc) Modems(EG30, EK02, EL29, etc) of course rooted and other ROMs (CM7, CM9, etc) and always have a backup and Odin installed in your computed
