It boots and hangs on the HTC evo white screen?
If it does that then you should be able to boot into recovery I would think

If we get this... does that mean we can get rid of the ugly HTC splash screen at the beginning of booting up? I'm praying so!
EDIT:
I don't even know how it happened, but I wrote my answer to A2SD corruption in this thread. Lol. Too many tabs in FireFox

[Q] Rooting is cool, But not for me...

Rooting my HTC EVO 4G was cool, but it isnt for me at all. I dont have any service anywhere, my wifi sucks, when im in a 4G area, i dont get any 4G coverage. I drop the majority of my calls like my service is with AT&T or something, and overrall, this s**t sucks. Can somebody give me step by step instructions on how to UNROOT my phone and get it back to NORMAL..?

Rooting literally doesnt effect any of that... maybe you should check your rom bro.

Well none of that should be going on, something else has got to be causing issues. The majority of Evo roms are very stable, in my experiences. What rom are you having trouble with?
To answer your question, the easiest way to unroot is to download and flash the unrevoked s on tool (only if you've ever used unrevoked forever, which most likely you have). That'll turn S on in the bootloader. After that, download an RUU from here on XDA, and run the RUU from your computer. That will flash you back to stock, unrooted.

Nothing you've described should be related to rooting, unless you've flashed something that isn't playing nicely. You are of course welcome to go back to stock, but maybe post what you've flashed and what you were hoping to accomplish by rooting. We may be able to give you some guidance.

What bk said. Believe me, rooting and customizing it makes it perform better, not worse.

Rooting your phone shouldn't have any affect on your phone that way unless you installed or horrid ROM. Check the modem you downloaded with your ROM, maybe you could use a better modem?
Why did you post two nearly identical threads? One would've been enough to obtain an answer.
But then again, so would the search button.

need help

so I just got a new EVO with the Gingerbread 2.3.3 already on it.I cant not find a way to root it or get S-off can someone please help
build number is 4.22.651.2
I know ill get into trouble by posting this here but oo well at this point I dont care
Take the OTA. Should root it and give you admin powers to all the worlds nukes. :-D lmao! geeze. there isn't even a reason to use the search. the answer is right on the main pages!
BUT really. not joking about the OTA. just wait a few weeks. Sure HTC will submit an update for sprint to send to us. oh wait, sprint would NEVER let us have that update. haha they would make sure we couldn't root it. Well, search temp root for the evo.

is there a temp root and ive seen video's about downgrade to 2.2 but idk I cant do it
Look man, I usually don't post replies like this but seriously this question if getting annoying. Look at this point there is no ROOT for this OTA that also includes a temp root....its really right in your face and plastered all over this forum. If you just checked Q&A section or even General section you would find it. Or even if you searched this forum itself you would have seen people like yourself post the same exact question.
HTC will be adding magical powers to the next OTA update. :-D
HOWEVER, WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET HTC-signed files. BOOM ROOTED!
There is no Easter Bunny, over there that's just a guy in a suit!
Run unrevoked one click while your phone is in the microwave.
This next step is very important, the microwave must be in the "on" position
This achieves full s off root. Worked without problems for me.
True story bro

Ok after I have the microwave in the "on" position how long do I set the time for? Also if I have a 3d should I wear the glasses? Will that help. Please reply asap!

I guess these posts are going to become the 'norm' with the EVO becoming a budget device. Same thing happened to the HeroC.
"I bought me a Sprint HTC Hero but where do I put my AT&T SIM card? Anyone help? LOLsss "
If the microwave on trick doesnt work you can always try what I did to get S-Off.
Simply climb a telephone poll and plug your phone directly into the power line. Once you do that you need to flap your arms six times and screem "I'm a pretty birdy" as loud as you can so thst the voice to text on your phone can pick it up. Once you do that unplug your phone and you will have s-off.

Stuck up on telephone pole after ladder fell down.. Did what you said and still no s/off. I even tried yelling before flapping my wings, after flapping my wings and while flapping my wings. I think I may have been tricked.... You're a ****.
Go to radio shack and get cool with the service guys. Have them call u when someone swaps a evo with 2.2 for for evo3d. Then swap your phone with there's. If it means anything to u really to be rooted get a 2.2 evo off Craigslist and then sell your evo back on it. Sprint wont be allowing no more unlocked devices if its up to them. They not stupid, I'm sure the techs troll these type websites. When the next firmware update arrives they gonna do it again. If it means that much take it upon ya self to get a rooted device or 2.2 evo. At this point late in the game you gotta pay to play.

To achieve root with the latest OTA simply shove the EVO in your anal canal. This will confuse the phone and force it to root unrevoked style. Once you relieve yourself of the anal obstruction you will be fully rooted. Try it and see!

OMG! THIS WORKS! NO JOKE PEOPLE! IT REALLY WORKS! I also tried the climbing of the electric pole and hooking my evo 3d upto the hardline and a secret government script that is monitoring all our phone calls rooted my phone for me! This is really great!

I love it, there is no root out for it yet (much like 2.3.3 for the evo) but other then that it is fantastic. It is odd switching from it to my evo and thinking man this is a tiny phone.

Evo Wont Boot

I rooted my 2.3.3 Evo and it booted up the first time. Now it wont go past the screen that says 4G in yellow font.

Hold the power button. Once it begins booting, set the phone down and leave it there for at least twenty minutes. If it has not come on by then don't pull the battery or anything, but post on here your result. Patience is a virtue lol.

What does completely stock Recovery look like?

I'm going to the Sprint store soon and I want to make sure my phone looks completely unrooted so that they can replace my bricked one. Does anyone remember what completely stock recovery looks like, before having CWM or anything?
Is it just that black screen with the white text and you need to enable ability to use the Power button to select?
Or is it that one blue-ish screen with the Android dude in the back?
I remember having both of these screens before but I don't remember which one comes with the phone. If anyone remembers, please say so. Thanks
once again, I will repeat, you do NOT have to make your phone look "stock" to get it fixed /replaced at Sprint...
this has been posted over and over and over and over by Sprint techs, Sprint employees, and others...
