Why don't you just sell it rooted?
I believe that someone will pay more if is already rooted because recently if you buy an EVO it comes with the new 2.3 release from Sprint which can't be rooted.

Yeah leave it rooted the latest OTA isn't rootable..yet.. leave it rooted and get more money for it..

There are a few PC36IMG.zip files you can put on your SD card and go into HBOOT to flash it.
They're all over the place. kind of hard to find.
do you have a link by chance I have no luck with search

The Q&A Forum is more suited for this.
Thread moved to Q&A.
How about you give us some details about your phone and what you have tried? What software version are you running? Clearly you haven't tried every method because the Evo is rootable.
Unrevoked 3 will work I used it day before yesterday its really easy

I'm rooted and I have that exact version. I used unrevoked 3 to root my EVO.

I have the same evo got it like a week ago I used the hboot s-off guide under android development but only problem I had with that program was that I couldnt access recovery so then I used unrevoked to flash clockworkmod revovery do this at your own rish though I messed my first evo up by just using unrevoked camera wouldnt work im 14 I think you will be able to figure out how to use the hboot guide but when you flash a rom make sure its a 3.30.651.3 other wise you camera wont work im using OmegeEvo v1.1 by racism

Where do u get unrevoked 3 at? Do i get that from the market and will it brick my phone? Can i use any rin with it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
do not use unrevoked it will permanently curropt your radio. unrevokied 3 is now out of date, thanks to htc's latest security update. use an alternative method if you happen to have a mac, i have a very nice 2 or 3 command root kit for you... testers wanted
So u cant use unrevoked 3? I do not have a mac i have a pc. I really want root mine. Im coming from the hero

I did not have any problems rooting my EVO using Unrevoked3. I followed the simple instructions and the process was painless. Before getting my EVO, I rooted my Droid Incredible using Unrevoked3. As for it being outdated as stated by someone else, I'm unaware of it. Check out the second link above and read for yourself. Happy Thanksgiving.

unrevoked does not work on any 3.30 evo software because of the new hboot security. it will not gain root, just corrupt the radio.

S-ON tool. Flash BEFORE you run the RUU.

Download the 3.70 RUU
And they will say use google, cuz it will turn up the answers.

That only happens if you use that z4root thing, which gives you a temporary root, and lost upon rebooting.

Sent from my HTC EVO using XDA App
If it didn't work, I personally can't advise you because I've never used it. I think it more beneficial to go for the solid root. Unrooting for whatever reason is easy to do.
OK if I root my phone with with unrEVOked and Its update come out will I have to unroot my phone or can i just update it like regular and it will just unroot the phone??

If you root your phone with unrevoked, you'll be fine. You don't have to re-run it when a new version of unrevoked comes out. If there is an update for your rom, you just flash it in recovery.

Picked up a g2 with android 2.3, unable to downgrade

This phone was not rooted, htc upgraded it to 2.3 and I'm getting errors downgrading, and ideas?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
You need to provide more details...
1. By what means did you get it?
2. Did you root the phone?
3. Do you have a warranty?
4. What kind of error?
5. A screenshot perhaps?
Explain your problem more in detail, also I think this is the wrong section for that. check the general questions section.
cant downgrade 2.3, you are stuck on there till there is a new root for it sorry
You tried using a gold card to downgrade it?
When did T-Mobile send the upgrade
Also I think this is in the wrong section

Wrong section. You should either be posting in the QA section, or one of the root threads with the error you get.
When was gb released? My sister hasn't gotten it yet.

but is the OTA for gingerbread being pushed to those who arent rooted yet?
Got the phone on craigs list the previous owner sent it in for repair for hinge issue and got it back with 2.3. The phone isn't rooted. I like 2.3 but prefer my freedom. I'm at work and can't recall the error but I can push the files with adb but get the error when I run adb shell p.... I did the goldcard. I'm thinking I'm stuck, but ill give it another shot later

Meanwhile, those of us with root have had Gingerbread for a couple months now. If it's not available OTA, it's not officially available.

yup i have it too as well not a big deal, no its not OFFICIAILY OUT, but the Official stock rom is here to flash for those that want to try, this is the latest one and most likely gonna be pushed out.
as my sig shows i have one g2 rooted running cm7 and my other on stock gingerbread no root or s-off
as well this Leaked officail rom was able to fix those that had soft bricks and could not unbrick
and everyone knows to do that the roms have to be signed officialy by htc/tmobile
