so I just got a new EVO with the Gingerbread 2.3.3 already on it.I cant not find a way to root it or get S-off can someone please help
build number is 4.22.651.2
I know ill get into trouble by posting this here but oo well at this point I dont care
Take the OTA. Should root it and give you admin powers to all the worlds nukes. :-D lmao! geeze. there isn't even a reason to use the search. the answer is right on the main pages!
BUT really. not joking about the OTA. just wait a few weeks. Sure HTC will submit an update for sprint to send to us. oh wait, sprint would NEVER let us have that update. haha they would make sure we couldn't root it. Well, search temp root for the evo.

is there a temp root and ive seen video's about downgrade to 2.2 but idk I cant do it
Look man, I usually don't post replies like this but seriously this question if getting annoying. Look at this point there is no ROOT for this OTA that also includes a temp root....its really right in your face and plastered all over this forum. If you just checked Q&A section or even General section you would find it. Or even if you searched this forum itself you would have seen people like yourself post the same exact question.
HTC will be adding magical powers to the next OTA update. :-D
HOWEVER, WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET HTC-signed files. BOOM ROOTED!
There is no Easter Bunny, over there that's just a guy in a suit!
Run unrevoked one click while your phone is in the microwave.
This next step is very important, the microwave must be in the "on" position
This achieves full s off root. Worked without problems for me.

I guess these posts are going to become the 'norm' with the EVO becoming a budget device. Same thing happened to the HeroC.

If the microwave on trick doesnt work you can always try what I did to get S-Off.
Simply climb a telephone poll and plug your phone directly into the power line. Once you do that you need to flap your arms six times and screem "I'm a pretty birdy" as loud as you can so thst the voice to text on your phone can pick it up. Once you do that unplug your phone and you will have s-off.

Stuck up on telephone pole after ladder fell down.. Did what you said and still no s/off. I even tried yelling before flapping my wings, after flapping my wings and while flapping my wings. I think I may have been tricked.... You're a ****.
Go to radio shack and get cool with the service guys. Have them call u when someone swaps a evo with 2.2 for for evo3d. Then swap your phone with there's. If it means anything to u really to be rooted get a 2.2 evo off Craigslist and then sell your evo back on it. Sprint wont be allowing no more unlocked devices if its up to them. They not stupid, I'm sure the techs troll these type websites. When the next firmware update arrives they gonna do it again. If it means that much take it upon ya self to get a rooted device or 2.2 evo. At this point late in the game you gotta pay to play.

To achieve root with the latest OTA simply shove the EVO in your anal canal. This will confuse the phone and force it to root unrevoked style. Once you relieve yourself of the anal obstruction you will be fully rooted. Try it and see!

OMG! THIS WORKS! NO JOKE PEOPLE! IT REALLY WORKS! I also tried the climbing of the electric pole and hooking my evo 3d upto the hardline and a secret government script that is monitoring all our phone calls rooted my phone for me! This is really great!

I love it, there is no root out for it yet (much like 2.3.3 for the evo) but other then that it is fantastic. It is odd switching from it to my evo and thinking man this is a tiny phone.

My wife took her Evo to the Sprint store to get a new cover for her phone. She set her phone on the counter to get a credit card when a Sprint employee grabbed her phone and hooked it up to a computer. Any ideas on what they did..... btw she is rooted and now recovery is acting all screwey. Thanks in advance.
Dave
How long was it on the computer?
They may have run SLATE on it, which goes through all settings in the device to check for errors and battery saving methods. It shouldn't screw with recovery but it WILL NOT work on a rooted device.
She said it was pretty quick. Maybe the saw the super user icon or whatever and didn't do it. But her recovery is acting weird.... when I hit reboot it goes to the cwm icon and I have to do a battery pull to power down. Not a big deal I can still backup, restore, flash etc but can't power down from recovery screen.

Yea, I think that feature was implemented in the last update of the xda app. It definitely has not always been there. I just figured it out a short while ago myself! It comes in handy, for sure. Burn up those 5 thanks per day even quicker! Haha.
And yea, why the heck did the employee just grab it and hook it up??! Did he ask for permission? My anger level would not have remained low.

While the techs at the Sprint store were working on my phone, they had another phone that someone had left with them so they could move everything over to their new one (or something to that effect). There were nudie pictures that the dude had taken of his girlfriend, and instead of just looking past that & moving the files, they were actually looking at the photos. They told me that they get that a lot - people bring in their phones with dirty pictures of their girlfriend and ask them to move them over. I guess that's what you get for not knowing how to transfer files AND leaving said files with horny 20-something male employees. So you know they do look through people's phones instead of just doing their jobs.
But yeah, they shouldn't have just picked up the phone & started messing with it. Call Sprint and complain... if you complain enough you might get something out of it.

What would I say? They effed up my wifes rooted Evos custom recovery? Her phone has been acting a little dopey since they did whatever they did.
For your recovery issues... have you tried reflashing the recovery?
And I would definitely call up Sprint. You just tell them that your wife was in there, buying a case, and was getting her card to pay when they took her phone without asking or explanation and plugged it up. Tell them that buying a case is irrelevant to running tests on the phone and demand an explanation for it. Tell them that your phone is acting finicky and that it wasn't before they plugged it up. They'll have to explain for themselves or back into a deal. Oh how many times I have called, and they have offered something to make up for their mistakes....

true.
im contract free because sprint sucks and i call them on it. ive also received hundreds in credits...your voice needs to be heard. dont feel bad about complaining...it may take many calls and many different reps but stick with it. escalate, escalate, escalate. also, dont forget the better business bureau is on your side.
i hope you(op) get this rectified to your satisfaction...
i myself am disheartened about sprint services being turned off, disabled or roaming agreements being terminated across the country and may switch to either other carrier.
I got the inc2 s-off，

Well that's good to hear that progress is being made. I have an upgrade available but i'm reluctant to buy anything right now. Thunderbolt is too big, the Inc2 sounds perfect for me i have the Inc 1 right now and 4g isn't going to be available in my area for quite some time.
Would you recommend just going ahead and getting the inc2? I can live with temp root i rarely reboot my phone, and never let it run out of battery, tethering is my main concern for root.

To be honest, I'd hold off on purchasing it. Not to be negative, but I just don't see perm root happening anytime soon. And for me personally, I find temp root to be more of a gimmick than anything else. You can't tether with temp root for example.
However, if and when we get a real rooting method, I'd say, hands down, get the dinc2. The battery life is amazing and this device is super snappy.

I just updated my EVO to 2.3.3 without knowing that unrevoked can't root it. I was just curious if anyone knows if there is any way to root the EVO with the most recent update? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You can't root or downgrade the OTA yet, you'll have to wait.
If you had to guess, how long will it take? I'm just really anxious to root my phone and put Cyanogen 6-7 on it lol.
In the same boat. Just got a replacement phone today.
It sucks, I just want to root my phone lol. I mean I love sense, don't get me wrong but I just like to completely customize my phone. As well as get more apps.

I would like to know where our root is as well. It is quite unacceptable. It should have been done before or directly after the update was released.

Yeah, probably not. It's still a sweet phone, just relax and enjoy it. There's more than enough to do to keep you occupied.

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.

The best place for you to get information at this point is following some devs on twitter: alpharevx,Agraben,Unrevoked. I'm sure others can add to this list.

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 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

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.

Hello everybody,
I..am...retarded. I saw a lot of dust in my microphone port so naturally i got a can of compressed air to try to "fix" it. Well it broke my microphone, it still works but i would have to scream like a woman in a porno for anyone to hear me...not an option lol. So I'm running CM7 and I need a way to put everything as close to stock as possible so that the technician won't update my phone to the newest gingerbread update. I found THIS post but I don't know which one to install (being the noob that I am). I plan to uninstall ALL of the apps that require root permissions and back them up to my sd card...then install the stock ROM and hope and pray the technician doesn't see that i'm rooted.
So what do you guys think? is that enough to fool a technician? And what rom do i need to install? deodexed or odexed? and what's zip aligned?
Sorry for the noobiness but my mind has gone blank xP
thanks for all the help
If you are S-OFF just flash a sense rom and let it ota update. If you used unrevoked to root your phone then the ota cannnot set it S-ON. Then take it in. When u get phone back flash a custom recovery and go from there. Also put in an old sd-card that has no signs of custom roms and such. That's what i would do
Honestly if I were you I would just use a bluetooth headset. If you return the phone to sprint you are going to be screwed over, for now at least, with the unrooted 2.3.3. Wait till they get a root for that, then get sprint to replace it.
Unless you get a mentally handicapped tech they will check to see if you have s-off. They see you do and you are screwed.

Hello everybody,
I..am...retarded. I saw a lot of dust in my microphone port so naturally i got a can of compressed air to try to "fix" it. Well it broke my microphone, it still works but i would have to scream like a woman in a porno for anyone to hear me...not an option lol. So I'm running CM7 and I need a way to put everything as close to stock as possible so that the technician won't update my phone to the newest gingerbread update. I found THIS post but I don't know which one to install (being the noob that I am). I plan to uninstall ALL of the apps that require root permissions and back them up to my sd card...then install the stock ROM and hope and pray the technician doesn't see that i'm rooted.
So what do you guys think? is that enough to fool a technician? And what rom do i need to install? deodexed or odexed? and what's zip aligned?
Sorry for the noobiness but my mind has gone blank xP
thanks for all the help

it only picks up your voice if you moan "OH GOD YES DEEPER!!"? lol joking aside.
your mic is built into your top panel. so replacing the phone is POSSIBLE, but check with your local sprint store and see if they can just replace the touch panel. thats what we do at my store.

-.- well here's hoping mine doesn't haha. And either way, I can wait a little while to get root again. But I'll miss my CM7 :'( I'm not much of a fan of UI skins on android. I hope sprint gets the nexus prime

You can hope all you want, but you're gonna have GB on that phone.
HOWEVER, some refurbished phones were sent in with S-OFF and they are being sent back out with S-OFF so pray to the refurbishing gods that you get lucky
You can just take it in and they will usually just replace the mic, just let them know you don't want any software update.

You better be extremely adamant about not updating the OS. Like almost paranoid about it, people upfront often won't relay that info to the tech. I'd even put a mini post it on the battery or inside the back of the battery casing saying "DO NOT UPDATE SOFTWARE" or something of the likes. lol
The sprint tech said he couldn't repair it but didn't give a reason. Since they are sending a replacement can't they just use the parts from that phone to repair mine and send back that phone?

Well my replacement turned out to be S-OFF but I didn't find that out until i got my evo 3d and got home and checked xP. I figure I might mess with it for a while, keep it, or just sell it once cm7 comes out on the 3d (or a good stripped down sense version). So if anyone is interested in buying it, I'll provide some pics of the phone to show its S-OFF so you can know its legit.
