this works for me can't promise that it would work for anyone else....but if you use z4root and get temporary root you can then use rom manager to fully root your phone which will last after reboot and everything....
z4root gives you temporary root and Rom manager lets you flash a custom recovery/roms.
I don't see how a combination of the two would or could give you a NAND Unlock.

He is correct... s-off / nand unlock is necessary for full root.. the evo is easy to root anyways....

Thanks for this. I've had evo since launch, and it was easy to root 2.1, but am terrified if i need a freeplacement.
I'm sure ill try this first.

Typically you don't have to worry about it for a freeplacement, If you root it all you have to do is flash a stock RUU and everything will go back to orignial. I had to take my wifes for repaired yesterday due to the flash quit working. I just installed a stock RUU from sprint. Had it fixed, went home re-rooted and restored with nandroid and you would never know.
Just use unrevoked. Its super easy to fully root your phone.

worked for me on a friends htc hero. The download I used though gave my computer a virus and was caught by windows defender after the fact so be carefull were you download it from.
but the thing you will be missing is the ability to do a NANDbackup! Among other things that full root gives you.

Yes. The easiest way would be to use Titanium Backup to delete everything.

Unrevoked alone will not get you where you want to be, you also need to run unrevoked-Forever(nand-off) which when combined with unrevoked(rooting) will give you both Root and Nand-Off, for simplicity sake, let's call this "full root", albeit the unrevoked team would correct me on my interpretation, the process remains the same.
Use unrevoked 3.21 ...it will give you full root. Then download root explorer and you will be able to go in and delete any of the sprint or other stuff you want. There are guides on here how to use root explorer and really its not that complicated. You can even save the apks you delete in case you decide you want them back. It worked for me.

Well you'll need to run unrevoked again because z4root only gives you temporary root, and goes away once the phone is rebooted, meaning you'll have to run it again.

Not trying to scare you, just saying from what I heard, you lose root after rebooting after z4root, unless the unrevoked did work. But if its all good, no need to go messing with it.

ok if you just got the phone you probably have the newest hboot. I got my phone in december and i had the newest one at the time. (i dont know if its been updated). i wasnt able to use unrevoked, but maybe that has changed since. If you cant use unrevoked, then there should be a sticky on one of the categories, ( i think android development) that will tell you how to root your phone using SDK, abd, and your PC ( thats the way i did it).
As for kernels, like everyone has been saying, it really depends on how the device accepts the kernel, but I am currently using netarchy toastmod 4.3.1 cfs no havs sbc more universal. I would try using the netarchy toastmods, they seem to treat me the best. Download a few and then give them a try. For hardware version 004, dont use BFS... they will cause reboots constantly...
Enjoy your new phone and welcome to the family.

Just plug your phone into your PC and launch the program. The program does all the work until your phone is rooted and nand unlocked. After it's rooted, you can install custom kernel, ROM's, radio's, etc.

Hey, guys. needs some advice here.
I rooted my evo like long time ago. However, I unrooted it since I have to bring it back to Sprint store to fix the charging port.
Anyways, i checked here, xda, and a few youtube clips. unrEVOked 3.3.2 from unrEVOked website, auto root from XDA, and the guide by Fred from here. I just wonder how you guy feel about these 3 ways, which way you guys recommend best to do now?
Just one quick question, unrEVOked 3.3.2 will trun NAND off too, right?

This method is newer and its pretty good. When I used unrevoked I successfully rooted but my fastboot doesn't work. Everything I have to flash is done in hboot or recovery. Unrevoked is pretty damn good though.

True dat, I noticed that the latest 2.5 auto root is just out like a week ago. And I watched the video guide about that, it takes much longer than unrEVOked. But it seems very automatic, just need some patient.

Again, thx.
any one else would like to share some experience here? I really appreciate it.
I have seen to many users run into problems with unrevoked. I did it manually using adb commands and it took a while but I knew what was going on if something messed up. That said, I watched a vid on that autoroot tool and it gives you a decent step-by-step with log if something messed up. I would recommend it, or of course, you could still use the manual method in the dev forum. The title says they are no longer updating it, but no releases have occurred since then so everything in it still applies.

I've rooted 2 evos 2 heros a g1 a g2 an incredible and an eris all with unrevoked3 and it worked flawlessly. Just follow instructions and enjoy
Rooted 3 evos, 1 over xbox live, with unrevoked, and no problems. Just need the hboot drivers, install then uninstall htc sync, then run.
And don't forget to turn on usb debugging.
I'm opposite of some here, I've heard of tons of issues with Autoroot & the Evo, but fairly few with unrevoked.
I'd have to place my vote with unrevoked if you're looking for an automatic rooting process. Just remember that whatever you do, read the directions thoroughly.

You may have to install the Android driver manually. I had to when I rooted my Incredible. For some reason when Unrevoked tried to do it, it failed. But it installed fine when I ran the standalone driver installer.

You can root with it but you cannot achieve s-off. To get s-off back you will need to downgrade first to 2.2 gain root and s-off then upgrade to a gb based ROM.

Check your Hboot version first, if you haven't already done so. You can check the version by going into the bootloader (volume down+power). If it's 2.18 you'll have to use the Htcdev method to unlock the bootloader, install a custom recovery and root the phone. Revolutionary won't work with the newest Hboot. Incidentally, you don't have to have S-OFF to install a ROM or flash kernels, for that matter. So long as the bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted with a custom recovery, you're good to go.

Okay, dumb question. When you entered the serial number of the phone to get the key, did you make sure you didn't use O for 0 (zero)? Not sure that could be part of the issue but worth looking at. I honestly can't think of anything else at this point. I remember when Revolutionary first came out last year, people were having a lot of issues with getting the beta key accepted. I for one didn't have this issue so I'm at a loss at this point.

If I recall correctly, there is a su binary file that you have to flash from recovery once you've run Revolutionary. It's a zip file that's in the Revolutionary guide. Running the su binary is what actually gives you root. You'll need to make sure that you have the app Superuser or SuperSU installed, as it will actually give permission for root apps (such as Titanium Backup) to operate. As far as kernels and such, look under the development section there, as there is a ton of great info there
Also, once you get rooted, I'd suggest going into Recovery and making a full Nandroid backup, especially if you plan on flashing a ROM or kernel. It'll come in handy if you get in a tight spot down the road.
