So anyone have any info on whether this root method for the 3D will work on the 4G?

Considering the Evo and the Evo3d are two completely different phones, I highly doubt that would work for ours
From what I have read it is a gingerbread kernel exploit... which may work.

Ever notice how the rage exploit was used on multiple phones.... unrevoked

Seriously, I know that I'm anxious, but correct me if I'm wrong... Any general exploit, OS or application such as Adobe, can be used to gain root on any system running it. Since we already have eng hboot and recovery for the evo this may be what we have been waiting for.
I don't know a ton about kernels, but I don't think every phone has a different one...

If I was forced to guess - I'd say yes.
They're both coming with the same bootloader, and they're both coming from the GB update. The only real difference between a 3D and a 4G is the kickup in hardware specs. Otherwise, they're the same thing for all intents and purposes.
I kind of always suspected that those GB OTA updated 4Gs would be "saved" once someone came out with a 3D exploit/root.
Getting root is only half the battle. The locked bootloader needs to be fixed, as well. Can't do much with root if you can't mess with recovery at all. At best, it gets you Wireless Tether and root-needed apps back - but nothing in terms of flashing any roms or the like.
Thanks. When did HTC start locking the bootloader?
This may help clear up the confusion regarding root and s-off...

"20:05 <@agrabren> We don't believe it will work on the EVO 4G."
so it doesn't look like their exploit works with the 4G
I sure hope so......Not only do I have a 3D, but my wife's Evo bricked itself while charging last night. I'm quite sure that the refurb I'm supposed to be getting will have the GB update already on it when I get it. :{

Dammit!!!! Well, at the very least we know there are still weaknesses in HTC's armor.
I just got my replacement a week ago, brand new evo, after my phone fell out of my pocket on the freeway while on my bike, and it came with GB on it, I tried swapping the logic boards on the phones but no go, it was fractured.
Any word on "progress" <---(PROGRESS NOT ETA; hents, 'going good', 'not even trying', 'hit a brick wall', or 'too busy playing with myself') with the new B.S. hboot 2.16.S*thware? Searched and came up with nothing, and been searching religiously everyday and no sign of anyone saying anything. Is every Dev working the 3d over like a $2 hooker and forgetting phones break and have to be replaced?
I am waiting also, my speaker is blown on my 003 hardware EVO, and I'm not going to subject myself to flash withdraws until the new one gets rooted

I just ran fre3vo on my EVO 4G and it said...

This device is unsupported by this exploit.

Just tell insurance you flashed something to it and now it doesn't work. It's not like warranty replacement, with insurance you can get it fixed no matter what you decided to do, so its not illegal. If you want to call insurance feel free to tell the truth

Learned my lesson with the erris.
I think your best shot is to see if there's anyone near you who's willing to let you borrow their XTC clip. You could buy one but they are rather expensive. Good luck.
What is an xtc clip? I have herd of this but I dunno what it is or how to use it. Pardon my HTC noobness! I had a fascinate.

Are you sure this is even because of 2.3? I flashed it. So I'm kinda concerned now.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
A XTC clip is a piece of hardware that can change bootloader security to s-off allowing you to flash custom roms or in your case return your phone to its stock state.

Like the posting above says, re-do the RUU exe that you used the first time.
After that, take out battery, and restart with volume down and power, then
do a factory reset. After you activate the phone with VZN, it ought to be OK.
Well I didn't have much time to mess with it today, but this evening i formatted the phone twice, and you want to know what fixed it, turning back on auto rotation and then back of again...then magically the screen was letting me type normal again...
But now I'm annoyed seeing cm7 out for this phone, with no way to root the leaked gb rom..
We need s off and root for this phone and the gb leak asap.....

TRUST ME,
your problem is not the leaked RUU.
It's as stable as can be.
it's a hardware issue and you should just file an warranty claim with vz, don't tell them about anything upgraded unless they ask.
The more i use this leaked RUU, the more i believe it's as close to an official to be released build as possible.
Hi, I didn't want to post this in the dev section, but hopefully you guys can help me out here.
My nephew has a evo 4g (sprint)...with 2.3.3 stock on it...He wants me to root/custom rom/theme it for him....I have a t-mo vibrant I've done it on many times, however I'm not sure if it's safe to do it on the evo??? My Vibrant is "unbrick-able" for the most part and I'm wondering if the evo is about the same or not...I googled evo 4g brick and seems it mainly happens with "RADIO" updates?? not sure exactly what that is, but, if I refrain from "RADIO" updates, can I..
1.. root his phone and put on recovery (or evo's equivalent) and flash him a rom/theme without taking a huge risk?
2 Does the evo have the same option as my vib, to flash back to a completely stock phone, in case of a warranty issue?
3. Synergy seems to be the popular/stable rom for this phone...??..any thoughts...
4. Will he have any random issues I can't think of right now?? (for example...any txt/mms/gps/ect bugs?)
Any help would be much appreciated...thanks in advance
First you need to boot into hboot and check to see if s is on or s is off. If it says "s on" at the top "in hboot" than you are not able to move forward until root is obtained.
As of right now there is no root method for 2.3.3 but I'm sure there will be soon as far as bricking it yes radio updates are the only time I've ever heard of any one really bricking their evo .

Power the phone off and then hold the vol down button and the power button then it should go into hboot. Also we are still waiting for the latest ota update (software version 4.24) to be rooted.

I haven't read about it working but I've been rooted for a long time now so I really don't know.
Rooting can be a little scary but once you have root and a recovery its really easy to flash ROMs themes mods ect.. just make sure you read everything about it before you try anything and make sure it worked for other PPL first.

Rooting is only as safe as the person handling the phone.
No root method for 2.3.3, although they do say they are close to coming up with root. At this time for eta, it does suck for everyone who purchased an EVO after bootloaders were locked.
First off I want to say thank you to everyone on this team for being able to get S-OFF for the majority of our phones. My question now since S-OFF is only temporary for the recent exploit of HTC Evo 4g 2.16.001, how would we or can we get S-On in case the phone has to be returned in the future for whatever reason. I have not seen RUU or drivers, many inquiring minds do want to know.
Thanks fellas.

Since sprint supports rooted devices you wont need to unroot to take it in for service.

Just because Sprint may service the phone might not mean that your warranty will cover it. That's why people would like to turn it back to S-ON before having the phone serviced.
Our devs are great love them all, but just letting everyone know if you're still stock like me i got the OTA this morning. I'm probably going to try rooting and unlocking later so we'll find out if it's still possible after updating.

CA stands for California and I did a little research and this is what I found.
"According to an article in the business section of my newspaper, written by Dana Hull of mercurynews.com, the California Energy Commission on Thursday will consider adopting the nation's first energy-efficiency standards for battery chargers. The Commission staff says that these new regulations could (eventually) save the state as much as 2,200 GWh per year. The new regulations will cover every form of battery charger, from cell-phone chargers to industrial-sized chargers and would go into effect by January 2013. "
EDIT: Also with the 2nd LCD thing, I have no idea what that means but I googled it and found this. Seems to be people talking about enabling the 2nd LCD, like I said I have no idea. BUT I did read a few updates for other phones that enabled the 2nd LCD is getting them ready for Jelly Bean.

I checked the sources a few days ago, and zv9 does differ from zv8. I am not a kernel dev, so I'm not sure really how or how much, but I'm sure we can get someone who knows more to take a look at it.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I can confirm that stock v9 is unrootable meaning if you think you might want to unlock your bootloader and use custom roms its best to do so from v8. If you already upgraded to stock v9 and want to root and unlock you can use lgnpst to downgrade. This is what i did, the instructions for lgnpst are in the dev section. Theres a stock rooted v9 rom up right now so thats the way to go, plus you can get rid of bloatware.
