[Q] has the 2.3.3 ota software been rooted? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

sorry if this is a lame question but a friend of mine asked me to root his evo 4g with the 2.3.3 ota software update and i was wondering if unrevoked would work for it. thanks a bunch

Just rooted mine last night, don't no where there link is, you have to search

ok cool. but did you use unrevoked?

I'm pretty sure this guy is trolling you. I have an evo on 2.3.3 that I got last week, and I'm patiently waiting to root. When a method comes out this forum is gonna light up with posts about it, you won't have to search for it to hard.
Heres to hoping we get root soon!

You CANNOT root 2.3 yet!
There has been at LEAST 100 threads about this is the last month. I have personally responded to 3 threads in the past day alone. Please do a search next time, it would literally have taken you 10 seconds.

You aren't a friend for allowing him to take the update. And if you know how to root then u should know there is no root for 2.3 ota... In fact there will never be again... If the amount of new devices that have dropped or will in the 3rd and 4th quarter including iPhone 5// like really if u want root... Go buy a rooted device....
Let the developer move on to bigger things.. and learn on your own to gain root access just like they did.... No one wants to take the time out to learn... They expect these guys to do it all...
I say no more root for evo... why.. so u can gain root then complain when you can install them rom or kernel right...nah.... Make em like them guys on Craigslist....

Nope.

ok enjoy your dropped calls all XD and thanks
what about sbf back to 2.2?

I rooted my Orig Droid running 2.3.3 with unrevoked!!!

Someone on TeamWin did root 2.3.3, but "it pushed the phone to the max" and he is not releasing it, for fear of bricking phones.

Based on that type of logic, this place would not exist. If every one had to learn how to root on their own I don't think there would be too many rooted devices out there. I agree about the complaining but that doesn't apply to everyone. And if people took the time out to successfully port 2.3.3 with sense 2.1 for the hero, I have to believe someone / some group will successfully root the Evo again.

Has froyo been rooted yet?

Ok... I'm one of the idiots that updated to froyo thinking that I would be happy with it and not miss having root. I was wrong. Fat chance that froyo will ever be rooted so maybe its time to buy a phone from someone that hasn't applied the ota. Has anyone been keeping up with the latest developments? Is there a chance that someone will manage to root froyo? I think I know three answer. I had no choice at the time. Phone was rebooting everytime I got a call while already on another call and I couldn't afford to have that happen as I was out of town on business.

Well sometimes I wonder... If all the noobs installed the ota then why would the leet devs bail them out? Wouldn't it just be easier to keep developing onto whats already been cracked? Thanks for not jumping on me

Well, what about the people that bought their EVOs with 2.2 already.
I would be a super sad panda if I was stuck with an unrooted/unrootable phone.
On the other hand, almost every EVO forum out there has a sticky of this sort: "2.2 NOT ROOTED YET!!!!"

xda-developers is a community. A great community at that. People's hard work and collaboration produce great things.
Instead of crying and instructing others to "get to work", Why don't you help out and contribute to this community and offer some value so others can prosper from it too?

Beggars can't be choosers. Either root it yourself or STFU! Besides, Gingerbread will be out in a month or 2. It will be a remake of Android where Froyo is just an update of Eclair.

I'm not really sure what you mean: I think most of the current ROM's are based on FroYo.
I think he means root froyo on a phone that wasn't previously rooted before you applied froyo. I assume he's one of those that just couldn't wait a couple hours for the rooted version of froyo, and applied the OTA update thinking it would only be a few days until Froyo was rooted, despite numerous warnings to not apply the unrooted version.
Wow sorry guys I was just being silly ..... now that I'm reading my own post. but any*hoo,, I salute all the developers. I got and still get help from the forum so don't take offense. besides I'm on fresh"s ROM now that I down graded thanks to this forum as always !!

You cant root the Htc Wildfire with 2.2.1 at this moment.

With most chances going to "whatever"
If I understand it right you can't root the Frojo update by using software only.
It can be done by using something like an xtc clip to get S-off, but that way is expensive £105.- +shipping to buy one.
What unrevoked does is giving us an oportunity to root using software only. But as said before 2.2.1 version in curently not supported by unrevoked

Never
It never can be rooted.
No-one do root for Wildfire.
I think so - -
I thought (wishful thinking) that some people were working to root wildfire froyo, but you guys think the opposite?
Better bought another thc then...

To be honest i wouldn't buy another wildfire wether its an S or the old one. Bull%^$t upgrades just to bring up the price. S is what our current wildfire should have been when it came out... And for the price it has now...
Way offtopic here sorry
So still waiting for an update from alpharev. No news yet.
I am waiting on the pricing for the incredible S. Would seem like a good upgrade if the price is good
I bought the wildfire as a starter smartphone. It has exceeded all my expectations, but I don't think I would go for another phone with such low specs as everything else is getting soo much better!

Does anyone know how can i unlock my htc wildfire with 2.2.1, because it is has a sim lock just for telenor network, but i wanna unloc it for other networks too???
please respond
Hello!
Like I said in other threads, it's a shamer not letting the customer decide what he/she wants to do with her smartphone. IF I WANT TO INSTALL WINDOWS 98 ON IT, WELL THEN IT BE SO. But no, they have to block it, just so we stick with their software and can't fix thing for ourselves.
I think I speak for all when I say, next time I'm going to buy a phone which is not locked, so I can do what I want, not having to wait for someone to make a programm or hardware to make it according to be unlocked
yours truly
I can see the end of the road for my wildfire, the fire is already put out. Seen threads in the desire forum that froyo root by unrevoked but not wildfire causes frustration cos new users with latest batch handset would come with froyo.
I feel lucky enough to root my phone just in time.
So no official froyo rooting hope only check unrevoked website daily hope, or of course buy a better phone.

damn wife tried to help me, and i think she screwed me even more...

So I just got my Evo, and out the box it already had the Anti-Root OTA Update installed... well she took hers to sprint today since she couldnt get Netflix to work, and they told her there was an update availible to fix that. so she downloaded it on hers and now netflix wirks great for her.
So she comes home, and grabs mine and updates it for me... trying to prove to me that she knows how to do some things... Now my software number is 4.24.651.1... yay... wonder when THIS one is gonna be cracked so i can finally root this thing!
sorry dude the root method isnt availabile yet but devs and unrevoked are workin on it i think they will have root method out by october bro
Leave her...
I believe you can flash the ruu back to 2.2 and root.

You can't be serious?!? Within 6 days people can find a way to root the EVO 3D, but the Gingerbread update that's been out for a month, can't be cracked?
I'm in no situation to get upset, I guess. I don't know a thing about how to do it, but I had to replace my rooted phone due to a cracked casing, and I just received the new one 2 days ago.
I'm missing all the goods....like Synergy.
when they think they know it all, let them do the hard work

Originally the Evo was rooted before it actually launched (thanks toast!). HTC has gotten better locking the Evo down since then.
Does this give you free access to her purse now? LOL
nm....Frustrated with Spint
Tell her that you have made a choice to leave her for your phone. and you want to have great sex with the HDMI port on your phone. lmao!!!!! Cause we all know it is that small since you can't tell her NOT to touch your phone. lol! but then again, girls will be girls. they'll do what they want anyway because they actually think they know what they are doing because some idiot at sprint told her that. lmao. anyway. hahahhahahahahaha. The only reason I root is to use the SO CALL FREAKING 10 DOLLARS a month they are stealing from us. Use as much internet as I can. hahahahahaha
Every one of you who would even joke about your wife the way you are should be ashamed of yourself. As for the OP, you should be kicked hard in the junk for such a disrespectful thread title.
this entire thread is making me laugh my ass off. hahahahhaa

[HUMOR][EPIC 4G TOUCH EDITION] You know you're rooted when..

I saw this in another thread and I thought it was a neat idea.
Just add your own funny conclusion to "You know you're rooted when"!
Have fun!
Example: You know you're rooted when you spend more time on the XDA forums than with your family.
You know you're rooted when you flash every ROM available for the Epic touch!
Special thanks to kennysvgp08 for the idea
This guy below me has the best one so far vvv
You know you're rooted....
when you miss a call from friends or family, and they ask why....
You tell them that you must have been "in recovery", and don't understand the strange looks they give you:
"Mom, I DON'T have a drug problem!"
You know your rooted when you flash something in cwm at work and soft brick so you lite to your boss so you can leave early to access Odin at home

You know your rooted when you were younger and people asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up, you answered a Recognized Developer.
You know you're rooted when... you never have to clear out your sms inbox because you just do it when you flash a new rom.
You know you're rooted when:
- you forget what the "Sprint Zone" notification bar icon looks like.
- you have more memory taken up by flashable ROMs on your SD card than music.
- your wife won't let you touch her phone because of how often yours is soft-bricked.
