I dont want to ask questions that have already answered and have searched the forum so hopefully noone has discussed this yet.
Link removed
Is that website legit? Has anyone tried it? Just got my G2 and don't want to brick it with a dumb easy way out...although it looks tempting. Ive never tried to gain root access on the g2 and by the looks of the tutorials, its a bit more complicated than my former g1 and vibrant!
ANy suggestions??
Yea also curious.

I'm not sure what to think of that.
But, I do know that the safest and absolute best way to root your g2 is in the wiki.

The reason you don't find any info on it here in XDA is because its boogus and all post with it in it have been deleted by MODs, they want you to do survey and then can't root your phone, do not use this, its not legit, I would erase the link.

The easiest way I did mine was from xda it was the visionary temp root and perm root with gfree pretty simple

All the info is in the wiki here. That looks a somewhat dodgy site. There's no need to be filling in surveys - everything is here and for free in wiki

Indeed. I too dislike humans.
There is no Root
There is no root out for 2.2 yet. A sticky are the posts that are always on top of the forum list you will see a pin icon right before the title. The XDA devs are working on finding an exploit for 2.2 but as of right now no one has made any or mentioned making any progress on rooting 2.2. I along with many other new EVO users bought it with the damn 2.2 already up an running. But worry not it may take a few months but no one has ever built a perfect un exploitable system. Some one some day will figure it out just give them some time until then cheers.
Sorry dude, there is no root method for Froyo yet. I'm sure its in the works. Not saying this to be mean or sarcastic, just a heads up, try to familiarize yourself with the search feature here and do alot of reading to make sure your question hasn't been answered yet. It will save you from getting flamed by other members for posting something that's been asked multiple times already. A sticky is basically a thread deemed important by the mods. It will always be at the top of the thread list. There's one that explains all the forum rules. Hope this helps and enjoy XDA.

dont mean to sound like a ****, but can anyone give me and ETA?
im a complete noob when it comes to the current root process and im much more familiar with the APK process, like the one with the MT3G.
so can any devs give me an ETA?
sorry to sound like an asshole
As far as I know, no one is developing a "one click" apk to root.

Correct. My policy: if you're unable to follow the simple directions currently used to root the Espresso, you have no business rooting your handset in the first place. Great root comes with great responsibility. Having a little background knowledge should be a prerequisite.
Moved to Q&A, please don't post question threads in Development.

It may be supported on future universal androot apks but I doubt it to be honest

Ohhhh you can soft root with the new version of universal androot.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Isn't that explained in the S-OFF status thread that is stickied in the dev forum? It says once they get the S-OFF working 100%, they'll attempt to apk it to hide how they did it, only so official phone devs don't use it to make it harder to root on future phones... or somethin like that.
Yeah they should so they can't make them harder to be rooted indeed

I'm thinking of rooting my EVO but I don't know how to and I don't know how to unroot if I had too. I'm hoping to get some good info and maybe some links..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Read thru the Dev sec there are threads on how to unroot
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
All the info is here. You are in the right place. Check out the dev section and you will find exactly what you are looking for. I started right where you are at and came here, but instead of asking people to show me the links, I read and read and read every post in the dev section that had to do with rooting and unrooting. Now both are very easy for me. I suggest that you go to the dev section and look for [ROOT] at the beginning of the thread title and read them all. That's what everyone else did and I seriously doubt someone is going to give you all the links to root your EVO.
Why would you want to unroot your EVO? I've never wanted to go back.

Is anyone working on how to root the 2.3.3, if there is a way would somebody help me. I tried unrevoked 3 and it says there is no way to root my new evo as of now.

Root for 4.24 ota with hboot 2.16 has not been accomplished. In the meantime you can peruse the thread in my signature. The one about being unrooted.

Or you could have read the rules and did a search first before starting a new post and clogging up the boards and found about 100 threads answering your question. Just my 2 cents. Helping out the newbies.
This has to be the best response so far.

Yep...thinking about keeping that list of topics in a txt doc because we will be answering the same question over and over again forever.
I need Visionary for temp rooting. However, I can't download it anywhere! The official link is dead. The app is no longer in Play Store. I have spent 30 minutes searching for it with no luck. Can anyone help?
Yep I'll m you later

Same here I am looking for the Visionary download. any help would be appreciated.:good:
total noob, spent the last few hours reading various threads
Using visionary is not a great method, even for temp rooting. Rather follow the xda wiki or one the threads linked here to root properly

Ok, I will up other methods thank you Demkantor.
I have a G2 (gingerbread 2.3.4) and have been bummed since T-mob 2011 OTA made z4Root unusable.
since then I have gone down the rabbit hole of sitting in from of my computer trying to sort through terminology.
I haven't been able to find specific G2 temp root info that I felt I could complete on my own. I'm pre-noob.
I'll poke around here some more. Thanks again
