No options yet. BTW, this belongs in the Q&A forum. If you had looked there, you would've seen the sticky thread at the top which says there is no way to root 2.2 yet.

You have two options.
Wait for a developer to gain root on 2.2.
or
Figure out how to do it yourself then come back and post in the "EVO 4G Android Development" section and post away.

I think one person was enough to get the message across. Smh

I was in Radio Shack where I got my phone and the manager told me that none of her EVO's had been shipped with 2.2 yet. This was just 2 days ago also.

Picked up two at the sprint store yesterday and they both had 2.2 pre installed.

I had a new one from RS about 2 weeks ago and it did NOT have 2.2 but manager tried to install it, I said HELL No!! Sent it back due to hardware issue. This time I went through Sprint CSR and the rep said he is sending me a brand new one. HE him self said, "dont do the 2.2 upgrade, it kills your battery." I hope it comes with 2.1

Im getting mine delivered today from an insurance claim i had made thru asurion the insurance company and they were out of stock on them for about 5-7 days and they finally got one and its being delierved today, I have my fingers crossed that it does not have 2.2 preinstalled!!!!!!

Then you talked to an idiot. If anything, 2.2 will improve battery life, but only if you use reasonable options, and even then the difference (either way) won't be dramatic.

I'm sure at Asurion's refurb depots they flash the newest version, its just what they do. That being said, at MY Sprint office, we have never had a NEW EVO come in with 2.2 pre-installed.

Yea I was one of the lucky ones that assurion sent me an evo with 2.2 preinstalled, is there ANY WAY that even sprint could downgrade 2.2 to 2.1

Ive been on the phone with Sprint technical support multiple times and their answer is no, they can not revert the phone to 2.1. I also went and talked to the repair guys at my local Sprint store and they also said there is no way for them to revert. I have decided I will be patient and wait for the Devs to root 2.2, I am confident they will do it soon.

From what I've read, the stock HTC Froyo kernel is terrible for battery life. Worse than the stock 2.1 kernel. The custom Froyo kernels significantly improve battery life. I have no actual experience with Stock Froyo though.

[Q] New to rooting questions, any dummies guides?

I have a few questions that would probably be answered by a dummies guide to rooting, I haven't found it yet.
Can someone point me to some threads that may help?
background.
I have 4 Evo phones sitting on my desk in various states of disrepair, either Sprint or Asurion have been expecting them for a few days. I've only destroyed one phone myself, the others are gifts from sprint hoping to silence me on the FroYo issues my phone has been having, or refurbished phones that are defective. All in all, I'm expecting my 6th Evo tomorrow.
Until today I've never rooted a phone. This afternoon I have successfully followed the instructions to root a 2.2 Evo from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765496
I performed this on one of my non-enabled phones just for grins.
I am planning on performing this procedure on my new replacement tomorrow out of the box.
Here are a few of my questions as an example of my level of experience, or lack there of... Please feel free to answer them, or point me in the right direction to find my answers.
In a nutshell, what can I do with a rooted phone?
Will I be able to use the phone as a modem tethered, and use the wireless router feature?
If I wanted to use a custom rom, where do I start? What features are good to look for for a beginner?
How much hell am I going to get for returning this 'damaged' phone to sprint now that I have rooted it, and what can I do about it?
Thanks
Andrew

One thing you can use a rooted phone for is to search these forums for the answers to your questions that have been posted so many times already. At least you posted in the right forum.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

hahahahah - sorry andrew but he is right.
even though i truly do believe the only dumb question is the one not asked, the best help you coudl ever receive is from yourself.
forums, including this one are a rats nest of uncontroller blabbering and nearly unsearchable threads. (unsearchable because of the countless worthless results you get) but the answers are out there.
yes you can usb and wifi tither
yes you can turn on the vibration feature, wrap it in a jimmy and give your wife a good time
expect pain and heart ache if you are a former iphone ipod touch user... you will hate android for its lack of anything even remotely like the quality of gmes and apps you find on the apple devices.
(hate me for saying that but android cant come close to the graphics and games available from apps) and althoug the apps list is growing, there are countless upon countless repeated apps, all doing the same thing, and only a rare few that actually work.)
and you have how many replacement EVO's ??? for WHAT froyo issues... i find it highly suspect that sprint sent out new phones without sending you to a sprint store to have them reload the phone.
sorry but sprint doesnt send out multiple MULTIPLE phones for supposed issues....
i would love to know what issues you are having.
i think its more of a phone issue than a Froyo issue...
or maybe its the good ol "the problem lies between the keyboard and the chair" issue.

Hey Andrew, I would be glad to give you some guidance; however, next time try a search in the forum first, as your question may have been asked before.
To search through the forum, click on "Search this Forum" in the upper-right hand part of the screen when at the EVO Forum site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=619
You say you have a handful of EVOs? Lucky you!
Wel first you need to find out if they have Android 2.1 or 2.2 installed onto them.
To do so, press "Menu" when at your home screen, then "Settings," then scrool to the very bottom and press "About Phone." Click "Software Information" and you will most likely either see "2.1-update1" or "2.2."
Rooting 2.1 is much easier than rooting 2.2. A rooting method for stock 2.2 was actually just released a few short days ago.

It looks complicated, but I promise it's not. JUST follow the instructions.
There's even a video guide now!
Hope I could help!

Thanks, I will read through yall's messages in more detail after lunch.
my first replacement was from asurion because I broke the screen, inside the body glove case, inside the leather carry case, dropped from about 2'..
after the 2.2 update my phone has continually reset anywhere from 2 to 15 times a day, the gmail push is highly unreliable. Sprint says it is aware of the problem and they are sending out a replacement phone which was supposed to have 2.1 on it, however, it did not. I've got 2 phones from them on this basis. I decided to finally give up and just wait for a new update.
That's when I discovered that I could in fact go back to 2.1 as part of the rooting process.
I plan on testing the push issue when my new, new, new phone arives today. This one was sent because the last replacement had a defective earpiece. It is almost unusable, I have to use my bluetooth headset, or speakerphone..
Thanks
Andrew

ok, I'm all read up. I think my problem with searching the forum is that I'm not sure that I'm searching for the right thing.
First of all, just to be clear, I have successfully followed the instruction on rooting my 2.2 phone.
I have just received a new phone from sprint that I have not activated yet. I guess I'm hoping to get some guidance as to how to proceed.
Should I just follow the instructions again and root it as I did my other phone?
Are there some other ROM builds that anyone would suggest that I try?
Some real time advice as to how to proceed would be appreciated..
Here is the software info, my new one is only slightly different than all the others have been, perhaps someone could explain what the PRL Version means.

I guess let me rephrase the q.
I am now sitting on a brand new (sprint refurbished) Evo. I have not activated it yet.
What should I do?
(also, I'm wanting to experiment more, I'm not an idiot, but I do need my phone to be reliable, being self employed, it is the hub of my business..)
a) Root it and put 2.2 back on? and then do what?
b) Root it and put ? back on?
c) Leave it stock and ???
d) ReActivate my Samsung m330 and go home, beaten with my tail between my legs and check my email on the library computer like a homeless geek?

I needed to get my Front facing camera fixed (they attempted two weeks ago and failed) and they didn't want to fix it right there again, so i just asked if i could get a whole new Evo. After some talking i just said send me a new one, so I paid the $35 (because i don't have insurance), the guy started to order a new then the manager walked up and saw what was going on and just brought me up a new one! If your having issues with yours (hardware related) then take it in and just ask for em to order one for ya, it only takes a couple of days.
But you with the insurance if you cracked the screen or something they could get ya a new one. Though i don't suggest purposely breaking it...

If you have the insurance get a car battery and a couple of wires and plug it up to the electrodes on the phone. It will smoke and cry and then die a very permanent death. Works if you were rooted and you want to make sure they dont give you grief about the root too. Pull the card out before your do.

if it breaks/frys etc, do i have to give them the old one?

yes but if you unrooted before you kind of break it you will be fine, or just fry it and you will be safe from them finding out you rooted. Im not sure if the warranty covers water damage...you could look into that.

Root, return or report lost?

Me and my girl both have the evo, mine is the 003 and it runs great, rooted and all and my girl has the 004 model. Now here's the thing, the 004 evo has the random reboot issue and its her second one, both had same problem. I don't feel like returning it for another because its getting annoyin.
So my question is more of asking your guys opinion, should I root and flash it so she can enjoy the wonderful roms, return it and try to get another and cross my fingers it don't have the same defect or report it lost and get the nexus s 4g?
Let me know what you all think, thanks

What does your girl want to do? Personally, I would probably root it with unrevoked and then flash amon RA v2.3 over the ClockworkMod recovery that unrevoked will put on it. Flashing amon RA has fixed a great deal of phones with reboot issues. After that, I would flash a rooted ODEXED stock 3.70 rom since your girl is already familiar with the default layout.

That is what I did to mine the day I got it and was thinking about doing the same to hers. I just heard from other people about the reboot issue getting worse over time and didn't want to take the chance of rooting then having to unroot to return if it does get worse, that's my fear and the reason I didn't root it yet but I want to lol

If its not working right send that thing back and make them give you a brand new one. Don't let them talk you into using your insurance or taking a recertified one. If it is rebooting while unrooted and with the stock rom odds are rooting will just make it worse.

I kind of agree with this. Everyone has pretty much come to the conclusion that most phones with frequent random reboots cannot be fixed and will only get worse despite being rooted or not.
I'm also thinking that since this has happened with two of hers, it could be an app she has used on both phones - this, the sd card, and the battery are the only things the two phones should have in common. Did it start happening straight out of the box, after setting everything back up, or some time after? If it is one of those things causing it, a new phone will not help.
Rooting may not solve the problem, but it will definitely make the phone more fun/useful while not rebooting.

I used the same SD card on both phones but once the new phone started the rebooted I changed to a 2gb I had that was fine but it still did the random reboots. The only apps she uses us Facebook and Google talk, she's a very simple person lol

Well you can try rooting them, and if you still get them, then it seems like just unlucky hardware issues.

From a consumer perspective, xhausx is 100% right. The device that you purchased is defective and being that it is the second defective device, you should indeed *demand* a brand new one. I tinker with stuff so I would root it and try all sorts of fixes, but if it still didn't work after that, I would then unroot it, flash a ruu and eventually return it.

[Q] Evo 4G Gingerbread 2.3.3 Root?

Okay, so I ordered my Evo 4G back in June right before Sprint emailed me about the Evo 3D coming in 12 days from that date. When my Evo arrived, I activated it by calling sprint, made a test call, checked the software (2.2.1 I believe), threw the phone in my pocket and drove to soccer practice. When I got back home from practice, my phone had updated to 2.3.3. I suppose autoupdating was on or something and it ran the OTA itself while I was at practice. So now I am trapped with a 2.3.3 Evo with S-ON and I am furious. I am sure that there are others like me with a never rooted Evo dying to get theirs rooted as well. If anyone has any information as to the progress of either a real TEMP ROOT or FULL ROOT then don't hesitate to post it in this thread. I don't want this to be a discussion thread; just a simple "Post What You Know" sort of thing.

Wht is your Hboot version?

well it does not really matter the hboot. i can tell you, it is hboot 2.16. all gingerbread 2.3.3 regardless of software version (4.22.651.2 and 4.24.651.1) will have that hboot.
and unfortunately the devs will not post any progress. they may or may not post when an exploit is found. they may just post only when a temp root is available. it is all hush hush for fear of htc or even sprint releasing a silent ota that can close the exploit. so for now if you do not see any threads about an exploit or an ability to root your evo, then you should just wait. there will be posts (more like thousands, lol) about it.

I see. Well alright. I'll just wait patiently. I know the Devs will come up with something. They always do. Thanks for the reply.

I just bought my Evo 4G (RadioShack is having a sale on them now that the 3D is out) It also self-updated. I would really like to get it rooted. It comes with so much Sprint Bloatware I can only download a few apps before getting the "low space" warning.
Any help is appreciated.

Well... Is nothing you can do for now... Just waiting with all of us.
Unfortunately I received a new Evo from repair center with Hboot 2.16.0001 and last OTA included. I miss my rooted EVO...
Hope devs find a solution soon, thanks to everyone working on it.

I doubt very seriously its an auto ota update. If that was the case no one in the evo threads would still have root. It would've auto dated every evo still with 2.2, besides it says make sure the battery is full before u take it. #justsaying

Now I am waiting for the guy with a refurb that is 2.3.3 S-Off to show up and say he has no problem flashing PC36IMG.zip files.
Rinse and repeat.

I just got my asurion phone today and while im pumped that its a brand new phone and came with new box and charger (YAYYY! i lost my old cord and charger a long time ago) i am deeply saddened by my findings today. Ill live since I like the sprint themes and functionality better than CM since my GPS stopped working on CM7 but i want to root so i can get wireless tether and whatnot.
in the mean time can anyone tell me how to shut the phone off all the way without pulling the battery. power off by pressing power button pretty much just puts it to sleep you cant get to recovery or hboot when powering back on.
