What are you using to root, Unrevoked?
Is it possible to update your hboot without being rooted? I'd think not but I don't really know.

I don't think so due to S-ON.
HBOOT may have been updated when the official 2.2 Froyo came out via the OTA, but since I was running 2.2 before that and updated HBOOT also, I am not 100% sure with that.
RMarkwald: yeah

I rooted 2.2 froyo, and used unrevoked forever. S is unlocked but I am unable to install any cm6 roms. Does this mean nand is still locked on my phone? And if so what do I do to unlock it as I am wery about repeating the wrong steps. Thanks

You are going to have to install the eng-bootloader in order to use the cm6 ROMs.
If you have not flashed any ROMs on your phone you should be at 2.1
Now you need to follow the rest of the instructions and install the eng-bootloader from the pc36img.zip

I have installed other roms currently running the latest fresh rom
I never updated my bootloader when I rooted my 2.2 froyo.. I have cm6. Maybe I lucked out.

Ok I have a rooted EVO with the 2.10 hboot. I'm considering trading with my friend who has an EVO with the for now, unrootable 2.16 hboot.....If we were to swap phones, SD cards, numbers, the whole nine.... Would my phone lose root?? Thx in advance!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
since your swapping for the unrooted Evo with hboot 2.16, then yes....you will lose root. hboot 2.16 is still locked and there is no way to root it as of yet. be patient tho....there will be a rooting method out soon...you just have to give it time

No it won't unless you accept an ota etc or unroot it yourself.

correct...that will keep root...as long as your friend doesnt update with OTA
If youre on an AOSP ROM flash a Sense ROM to provision the phone (don't know about about all AOSP ROMs by Cyanogen wont let you put in ## codes or update profile to program), and flash back to whatever you want afterwards. Just don't accept the update.

What is the stock bootloader version for non rooted Evos? I need to take mine in and I got S-On but it won't let me flash the PC36img and it is stuck in a bootloop now.
2.15 I believe
And I believe s off is needed if you wish to flash.

It is fine to take in with 2.10 Hboot as long as you are running Froyo - just use an RUU PC36IMG file with 2.10 Hboot and you will be fine.
So I have already heard that you do not want to do the ota update because it has not been unlocked. I'm not sure which version it is but my phone came with 2.2.3, 4.24.651.1. Which version is safe to attempt root?

You cannot root if you have 2.3.3 with s-on.
(To check if you have s-on or s-off you go to your bootloader and look next to the radio version)
Being has your preloaded with 2.3.3 you're probably s-on and out of luck.
With all due respect, search button is your friend.
Only 2.2...so you can't root.

My phone wouldn't charge the last couple days so I Unrooted and returned to stock, s-on. I used a PC36IMG to return to stock. I took the phone to Sprint and somehow it started working again. They said it wasn't the charging port and it wasn't the charger or battery. I also have 2 different chargers and 2 different batteries of my own I tried. Anyways they gave me the phone back and told me to give it a couple days to see if I have any more problems, he didn't do anything but it started charging again somehow. Anyways before I left he said it is rooted still, even though I thought I Unrooted, s-on and return to stock. Superuser is not installed. How can this be possible???
PS I rooted with revolutionary

That guy was way off unless he looked at your sd card no way he could tell it was rooted

I probably should have taken it out. I didn't have any file explorers installed so I figured he wouldn't be able to
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Which HBOOT do you have? If it were the Revolutionary one it may have tipped him off. Also check your SD card. I've seen them go to Market and look at purchased apps and see if root apps were bought, so don't sync with Google. Run an RUU for good measure, take put the SD card and go back

He also said to bring it back if it has any problems. I didn't think he would say that if he thinks it's rooted. Thanks man.

I would just let them know that any root apps that are synced to my Google account are for a tablet at home, an older phone, or some other BS.
To my understanding; if you take the stuff off your SD card, running Stock and have S-ON, there's really no way they could prove that you were rooted.
It's all about covering your tracks.

The 6.17 hboot is what tipped him off. Stock hboot only goes up to 2.16, Revolutionary gives you a s-off'ed 6.16 hboot. Getting s-on with Revolutionary involves flashing the 6.17 hboot (which isn't stock) which is s-on. If you run the RUU for the latest update, you should get the 2.16 hboot back. You'll need it to re-run Revolutionary.
