Z4 Won't work. You have to use alpharevx or revolutionary.

Yeah asking how to unbrick your phone. Look I understand being around the root process, o switched time roms twice a day on my fassy. This thing is a diffrent beast. So humble yourself and read because you need s-off. Then flash a recovery then root by flashing Su or installing a Rom. But welcome.
Ps I hate you for getting a froyo filled inc2. Jk lol

You said something about z4root...something this phone can't use. Then when someone told you that wouldn't work you got all snooty about you knowing what to do. They just don't want you to brick your phone bro.

If your Inc2 would happen to come with 2.2, the most you would get with s-on is temp-root, no custom recovery, no custom roms, no custom kernels, and you'll lose that temp-root after rebooting. Inorder to achieve permaroot you need s-off. Software s-off can be reversed btw. So run Z4 if you want. Most you'll get is temp-root and nothing further with at, if that at all.

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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Ever notice how the rage exploit was used on multiple phones.... unrevoked
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
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...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
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...

Uh... Each device has its own kernel. You can even have different kernels for the same device. Each with different hacks and features. Sorry don't have an evo. Just browsing recent posts/threads.

Gotta get back to stock..

I'm not rooted, and am on the leaked Gingerbread. Is there a stock RUU anywhere? Or any other methods?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
sorry you are out of luck. a ruu wouldnt do you any good since your version is newer than the ruu. You can't downgrade using ruu with root. You have to use xtc clip or wait for root on the gingerbread rom.
Is anybody working on rooting it?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
Lol there were warnings all over the place about flashing the leak. I am sure people are trying to find an exploit though, sooner or later incredible 2s will be coming with gb stock.

You might get lucky, there's been several of us who received their phone brand new with 2.2 on it. But if yours comes with 2.3, I'll say, even with all the bloat, it still as fast, if not faster, than the Fascinate was debloated.

Root my evo... should I? Is it safe?

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.

[Q] Any truth to this Vulnerability?

Which tutorial did you read? Try the noob one. Flashing custom ROM and custom kernel will help you play games smoothly even without overclocking. Once you have successfuly unlock bootloader and install custom recovery, you can freely install custom ROM which is extremely fun
