Which root for older version?

Ok guys just got my new evo my old one was messed up it came with the OTA
1.32.651.6
Which root do I use?
I searched the xda forum and found *patches* but no root guides.
So should I just update to latest and root or?
Thanks sorry still learning trying to catch on fast.

I used toast's method. Works great if you can read and follow directions

this one?
tutorial-idiot-proof-root-guide
I can read and follow directions I am trying that one right now but it is asking for a update while doing it and the directions say it will ask to flash not update...
am i missing something?
nevermind im dumb I figured it out

I have been researching on the net and found a gazillion sites, videos and links for it, but not sure which one is really applicable in my case.
Also, based on my research on this forum, I found the following thre links that might wor, but not sure which is really applicable.

For your reference, the phone has HBOOT-2.02.0000 with S-on, Android version 2.2 and Software number 3.30.651.3.
Thanks

I was able to soft root my phone using z4root 1.3 (it has a permanent root option also). My wifi tethering app is installed but i am not able to connect to the network using it from my laptop.
I have an open question on the forum still on this so I am not sure this is the way to go but is an option.

Seems like z4root 1.3 does not work with HTC Evo.

Be very careful! I say that from experience. I have an Epic also that was super easy to root. But, I got the EVO the other day and have the same software as yours. Unrevoked root works with all EVO's except ours. And I bricked my EVO on a one-click method. Fortunetely it was so messed up that Sprint can't do anything with it except give me a new phone. I'm gonna leave root alone for awhile with this phone.

You can NOT root version 3.30, and you can NOT root using unrevoked3 if you are running Hboot 2.02
I mean you can root by going back to another version - but i couldnt even begin to tell you how to do all that...

I found this link on xda forums for HBoot 2.02: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
Would this method work?
Let me know. If it doesn't, I might have to wait for some time to have some Android genius find out a way to root my Evo version.

The first post is the one you need.

Yes you will need to downgrade in order to root here is a link to the guide to downgrade follow it and you will be able to root
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905003&highlight=downgrade
There are risks to rooting as always however if you follow the guides on XDA you shouldn't have any issues.

thanks
when downgrading do i loose any thing important on my phone not contacts etc but other stuff

No you do not loose anything your contact etc are backed up through Google, if you are going to try a custom ROM I recommend LeeDroid's Its very stable and fast with extremely good battery life.

[Q] Really confused :S

Hey,
After the news that HTC ain't gonna update to gingerbread, I've made the decision to root my phone. But I'm really confused what to do. What method do I use? Can anyone give a link to the method they used and worked? I've searched the web and they all say different things :S

Ever seen the stickies on the development thread??

Haha I remember last year when I rooted my phone. I downgraded my hboot then my phoen wouldn't work then I realised that there was unrevoked, hahaha.
