Im not new to XDA tho, I've been on the Epic forums for a few years. But I couldn't take the lack of support the Epic has. So i just traded in my Epic today and I was wondering what the best, most stable way to root, and install a custom recovery on my Evo. Also, I'm not new to flashing, or adb shell. I know there's a few different ways to root, and install a custom recovery, so I'd be very grateful for someone to point me in the right direction. I heard that the Evo forums are the best at XDA. Thanks so much for your help.

We haz some good people here.
Easiest method is to use unrevoked; download the hboot drivers, install then uninstall htc sync, enable usb debugging on phone, then run the program.
For recovery, it'll come with clockwork [unrevoked flashes it], you can then switch to amon_ra if you wish via PC36IMG file; both can be found in the development section.
And welcome, be wary of the trolls, don't feed them.
If ur phone has the newest software (2.3) on it then u r SOL. If ur are still on stock 2.2 then just run unrevoked or look for the auto-root thread and follow that.

if you are using Gingerbread (software 4.22.651.2 or the new OTA: 4.24.651.1), there is no method of root just yet.
but if you are running FroYo (3.70.651.1) you are in luck
the method i used was this: [ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02/2.10 SOFF - Goodbye Stranger - Upd. 02.25.11 - xda-developers
but you can use any of the ones that are in the stickies in the Development section
after you are rooted, I highly recommend using Amon_RA recovery (and so do most on xda lol) follow the instructions in this thread: [Recovery] [09-Feb-2011] RA-supersonic-v2.3 - xda-developers
hope this helps you out. and welcome to the rEVOlution!!
I got 2.2 on my phone. Thanks very much for the help guys/girls. So what would happen if I had 2.3, instead of 2.2?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You would have a locked bootloader that couldn't be rooted since there is no root method yet glad you still have 2.2

I came from your exact situation and I can tell you this THIS PHONE IS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more supported and FIXES are HERE! and not in the works =P like the (EPIC)
I'll answer your questions with what I did and also point out that the method I have used for root isn't the most recommended way.
Unrevoked is what used to root do it at your own risk people say, my response(It works for me) ALSO YOU CAN'T ROOT IF YOUR ALREADY on Gingerbread =/ so if you are you gotta wait till they figure out how to root it.
Also I came from an epic i KIND OF FELL in love with Miui rom on the EPIC EVEN WITH ITS bugs, battery on Miui is amazing I also love having just 1 homescreen with 3 folders of apps(tools,Misc/Games/Navigation) BW clock so easy to find what I need and the app management and ect is so fluid even settings menu and all menus for that matter ARE FAST and the built in explorer app is fantastic... try miui for evo u wont regret it my man!
flash amon ra recovery! dont use clockwork its buggy sometimes
if you need detailed instructions i dont have them in front of me and im not a big fan of XDA's search it kind of sucks NO OFFENSE but the filtering process needs work it should be like the forum.mobilisim.org BY FAR THE BEST SEARCH PROCESS! always gets me what I want in 1 search
Definitely try MIUI rom its the best its very sexy

Hey I'm just coming from the Hero forums (much respect to those guys, they deserve it) and I now have an Evo 4g. So basically after reading up and trying unrevoked 3.21 I still cant find a way to root my evo. Any suggestions.
I would also perfer the simplest way possible but please provide any info you think I should know.
Heres my Evo's info:
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: 2.15.00.09.01
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e [email protected]#11 (could some one confirm whether this is open gl es 2.0 or not?)
Build Number: 3.29.615.5 CL252548 release-keys
Software number: 3.20.615.5
Browser version: Webkit 3.1
PRI: 1.77_003
prl: 60670
If there is a unrevoked version that I havent heard about it would be really nice if you guys let me know about it. And a step by step for it would be cool. But dont forget I can to it the hard way through ADB as well. But I just really dont have the time.

If you have hboot 2.02 or 2.10 you can root the evo following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045

Your Hboot # is what's going to tell you how much (or how little) of a pain rooting your Evo is going to be
check this thread out too since he has pretty solid video walk through's. as others have stated the hboot is really going to drive your root method
linky
Ok I kind of got inpatient and jumped the gun. I used the latest Unrevoked and rooted the device. Or at least it seems to be rooted. I have the superuser app but its the 2.1 version with the black ops guy instead of the pirate andy thats in the current market. Dont know if this is because of the current from that comes with HTC and sprint. During the install the program booted into clockwork recovery so I guess that makes it official.
I am going to start my nandroid backup now.
EDIT: I havent the faintest idea on how to boot into revocery. I just tried to hold down the volume down button but that just sent me into the HBoot screen. With the Hero we just hold down the power button but the evo has capacitive ones. Any ideas while I search. Ill prolly just youtube it though.
The 2.1 root has the black ops guy. The rooted 2.2 has the pirate. Good job on root. Great call on nandroid and good luck on finding the best rom kernel combos for you!

I see. Well i guess the only way to boot into recovery is through hboot so i guess thats it. And yeah thanks for the info on the superuser.
Pretty stocked for the Sense HD roms. If they get Wimax running I can have my cake and eat it too.
To boot into recovery, make sure the evo is off and then hold volume down and then hold power until u boot into white screen...this will boot you into bootloader....wait 15 seconds or so and the evo will look for the pc36img file and not find it ( this is normal) scroll down to recovery option with volume down and then press power to load into recovery

Myns rom is the smoothest rom that I have used. I use it with a netarchy kernel. The stock rooted 2.2 rom with htc 15 or 17 kernel is awesome too. You really can't go wrong either way,its all about personal preference...just make sure you nandroid backup everything just in case a flash goes wrong,but im sure you know that....I spent alot of time choosing the right rom kernel combo...there are alot of sense based roms out there that have 4 g working, so you have alot to chose from!

hey guys quick question. I have my Evo with a rooted ROM on there right now. I believe its Kingdom 3D or something along those lines. I just purchased an Evo 3D and want to sell this Evo as is rooted and all. I tried punching in the ##2382# or whatever the code is to get into the settings to see if it would work so when the person that buys it wont have problems with sprint on the phone and it didnt work. Is there anyway to activate a rooted phone if the ## doesnt work over the phone? I'd hate to go back to stock.
They would have to flash another ROM if ##3282# didn't work.
Leave the thing S-Off and flash a custom 2.2/3 ROM, something not based on the Shift. For example, Sprint Lovers or Azrael or SNS or Warm 2.2.
Oh, and flash AmonRa please. Don't let the person start out with ROM Manager / ClockworkMod

Why? You are selling the phone. The easiest way to do this is to just unroot and return to stock. Its way easier than trying to explain what a rooted phone is to the buyer, and explaining all the problems and bugs that come along with rooting. Plus, if that person would take the phone into sprint to activate it, THEY would get in trouble for bringing in a rooted phone.
How much are you asking for your phone?
I'm gonna sell it for $100. Front camera for some reason just stopped working. I have also an extended battery on it (Not Seido).

Rom Manager is an app. Clockwork Mod and AmonRa are both recoveries. People are pretty much split 50/50 on which is the best, I personally only use clockwork, I have never had a problem with it.

No, clockwork and Amonra are both recoveries. Completely separate from a rom and apps. Recoveries are used to flash roms, but they are not part of roms.
Rom Manager is an app that lets you USE the recovery, without actually booting into the recovery yourself. So Rom Manager uses recoveries, but it's not part of the recovery.

Did the camera stop working after you rooted/flashed? Or is this a hardware issue?
I would think it would be best to flash back to stock on this phone, and sell it that way. Let the user root/flash after they activate it.

Hello everyone, I obviously have a n00b question. I've searched around but can't quite find anything specific enough.
OK, so I bought my Sprint EVO 4G a few months ago used, and only a few days ago realized that it was rooted (I'm a dummy . I do believe I have full root access judging from info on the restore menu. I don't know if I have a stock ROM or if it was flashed. I don't see anything obvious, but then again this is the only EVO I've messed with.
Here's my phone info: Android version: 2.2 / Baseband: 2.15.00.11.19 / Kernel: 2.6.32.17gee557fd HTC-kernel"at symbol"and18-2#15 / Build Number OMJ's 4.5 / Software Number: 3.70.651.1
Jeesh, a lot of info, I know, sorry. Anyway, what would I need to do to get the latest software (or ROM - gingerbread?) and keep full functionality such as wifi, 3g, 4g, tethering (i have wifi tether) etc? I'm not even sure what I could be missing now, I haven't had a chance to try 4g.
I would like to stay rooted and be able to tweak. I don't know if the phone has ever had an actual sprint update or not. I don't know what root technique was used or anything. I'm lost.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work.
Dan.
Do this: Battery pull then hold your volume down button and power button until a white screen comes up then tell me what it says there.
Looks like you're running OMJ's rom. Google "Evo OMJ Rom" and you'll see what i mean.
Yeah omj is a rooted ROM so your on a costume ROM ,to check if you have full root (s-off) go to your bootloader by either hold down power and when the menu pops up you might have the option to reboot to bootloader or download an app you can use quick boot or turn the phone off and turn it back on by holding volume down and power then look at the top and see if it says s-on or s-off . If your s-off you have full root .
Then just read up on flashing ROMs and mods check out the developer section for ROMs

Ok, I checked and it says s-off. That's cool. Do I need to do anything special since I have 2.2 or can I flash right to a gingerbread Rom? I've read conflicting stories. Thanks everyone.

My GSII is running stock 2.3.6. I lost root after the update , so the old root method wont work. I want root but I HATE! HATE! HATE! ODIN. (can't even count how many times iv'e bricked my vibrant and GS4G.) I know what i'm doing ive been rooting since my cliq! I have never had any issues with htc devices. (I think rooting and such is easy as long as you read instructions, ask questions if your not sure, and NEVER do anything that can't be found under your device on xda. )
Reading around XDA Iv'e seen threads where people say clockwork doesn't work right or normal reboots caused hard brick. and it's freaking me out! I don't event want to risk soft brick. Should i just get it over with and root now or wait for development to pick up and get the bugs worked out?.....Because I don't know what i would do if i lost my (second) favorite device of all time.
Root using odin. Takes 2 seconds. I never had a samsung before or used odin before, so I went to android monsters in austin and had my buddy do it. But, the info in the sticky is what he used and it worked great.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
I forgot how I did it but is easier than rooting and unlocking the bootloader on a Nexus One that's for sure.
its easier than newer htc phones. just use a the updated superuser apk wit root
Maybe it's just me, but how can you dislike a simple program so much that you refuse to use it to root a phone? From my own experience, it's quick, easy and painless. It's as simple as flashing ClockworkMod Recovery and Superuser with Odin. I've yet to have any issues with Odin and even if you did mess something up, you have all the resources here to get back up and going again with stock - that's what backups are for. There is no reason not to root your phone if you're at least somewhat tech savvy and have a reason to do so.
I think ODIN would be the best tool in the android world if it were more stable. For example something as simple as flashing back to stock on a custom rom-ed vibrant took me 3 tries with all the right files and I know its not my computer, used mine then a friends. I think I have a phobia of the phone to computer screen or yellow triangle lol

I couldn't own a phone without root. Too many apps that need it, and too much bloat. Stock vs. how my phone is now, rooting and flashing a custom ROM is 100% worth it.
I rooted with superoneclick on 2.3.5. Does superoneclick work with 2.3.6?
IMHO there's no point in flashing superuser via cwm..... just flash a custom rom instead. Mr x has a 2.3.6 rom you can flash.

Oh, CWM, how MUCH I can't stand thee:
Anyway, here's a long version:
I can't stand using CWM for recovery.
(I initially had an OG Evo, and it was nothing but a headache, so I always used AmonRa, successfully, and use that or TWRP on my ALL my other devices, where I can...
I'very made other posts about its issues, and have gotten into it with Koush online before about all the problems with it, and how he just let's so many versions out into the wild that aren't working for different phones...
With the ET4G, I kinda had to use it, and was able to flash a working version thru Odin.
Whatever, I was able to use it.
Lately, Koush releases a touchscreen version, there are stories about it all over the web: so I go into Rom Manager to check it out:
It tells me that it's not yet compatible with the ET4G, but that my version of CWM is outdated, so I should flash a newer CWM....
LIKE AN IDIOT, I agreed.
Now, just when I finally have a chance to flash CM9 on my ET4G, after waiting SOOOOO long?
I can't.
Because now, my recovery's totally borked.
I can't even get my phone to do anything but bootloop the CM7 animation, and download mode is the only thing I can get into.
Now, I'm gonna have to spend all this time today fixing what shouldn't be messed up in the first place instead of enjoying CM9 like I should be doing.
(BTW: Koush, if you're listening: this will be the last time for sure I ever fall for that again.)
Yeah, I'm mad, Bro.

I never use ROM manager but doesn't cwm have to be packaged with a kernel in order for it to work? ie. we can't just flash a recovery like we could in the evo 4G days. Methinks if you just use odin to flash a kernel+cwm package you'll be back up and running in no time.

Edit: And, yeah, I knew that used to be the case with CWM (needed kernel flash), but when a known high-level dev is telling me basically, that "this updated version will work for that very specific Android device that you have", and that "I can use his app to flash it", I guess I wanted to believe him...
Eff that guy: He needs to spend less time stacking his money, and more time having some accountability for what he releases to the public.
/End rant.
So, this has nothing to do with Clockworkmod, you are really pissed that samsung requires recovery and kernels on the same partition.
Koush can only do so much magic.

For our phone.
There's definitely nothing wrong with CWM. Blame rom manager if you must place the blame anywhere besides yourself.
I bought rom manager to support clockworkmod and have access to the latest clockworkmod versions. I think they have provided a wonderful tool. Anyway, I actually never used it except to check for roms and latest clockworkmod.
I've flashed the touch version of clockworkmod (downloaded the .img file from the clockrkmod web site) on my ns4g using adb and fastboot (thanks to Paul627 for the tutorial).
