If it has Froyo then yes it is rootable and you can flash a rooted 2.3.3 ROM.
Don't get your hopes up though; most of the replacement ones are now being shipped with Gingerbread... Hopefully we'll see a breakthrough soon though as far as gaining S-off on the updated OG Evos.
Its a new one not refurb my first evo came with 2.2 but i was not aware 2.3.3 wasnt rootable and let it update
Well I believe even now the new ones come with 2.3.3.
Hopefully not cuz my current one was 2.2 and its new
Just need root to remove bloat that's all
Too much roms to decide on lol

I remember the syndicate rom and their kernel were best for the epic

Hey guys. I know I can always count on XDA to get my info. I just got and EVO a few days ago. I have it fully rooted using unrEVOked method. I had T-mobile before and had the MyTouch 1.2 which I learned inside and out thanks to XDA. This EVO blows that phone away. Even though I just bought this EVO, I got the 003 hardware version and not 004. First off is the only difference between the two the camera? Second what is the difference between 3.30.651.3 and 3.29.651.5? Will the 003 hardware version get the OTA update to 3.30.651.3? If I flashed a 3.30.651.3 ROM to my 3.29.651.5 phone would it cause some major problems or should I wait until the OTA comes to my phone if it does? Why would I get an outdated phone sent to me when there is an updated version available? I know these are probably n00b questions, but we all have to start somewhere. Thanks for the help in advance. I have been reading to find the answer to some of these questions, but the EVO threads are huge and am having a hard time finding the answers I am looking for.
Im running a 3.30.651.5 rom on an 003 evo with no problems but iv heard others have excessive battery drain. Id stick with an older version that is actualy for your hardware though cuz your not missing out on anything, the newest ota was for a camera fix on 004 hardware phones.
Ok thanks cynic. I don't see how the ROM would cause excessive battery drain when the only thing changed was an update for the camera. I guess I could try one of each out and see if I notice anything.
Im sure theirs more to it but thats just the major difference that i know of
I understand. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Also are the cyanogen nightlies based on 3.29 or 3.30.

Glad to help :-D im not sure about cyanogen though. It may not be either if it was built from the ground up. Shouldnt give you problems though, newest is cm6.1
Yeah I thought about cyanogen being an AOSP after I asked the question and figured since it wasn't posted in any thing that should be compatible with both. Thanks again for your time.

cyanogen is based on android source. currently it is android 2.2.1 build FRG83. sprint/htc still currently use 2.2 FRF91 or something.
So it is safe to use CM on any hardware version as long as the kernel works? Also, does anyone want to give me their experience with certain ROM? I am not asking which is best for me, but just want to get an overall on which ones are working best or are the communities favorite for the EVO. I am rooted but still running stock rom. I want to use a custom rom but am still reading & trying to get familiar with this phone & its development.
Oh yeah. One more question. I received an update while rooted. It was a PRL update. Is this normal? I know that probably sounds very n00bish, but I just thought rooted I wouldn't get any OTA's. Will I still get OTA's from Sprint while running stock rom rooted?

Seems to be true.

I run virus roms, he has a sense version and one without sense. Myns warm 2.2 is quite popular as is fresh rom.

Yes you will still get notifications to update, hardware updates are not recomended for rooted users as they may break root, but prl updates are fine
Everyone was a noob once, just glad to pass along the info.

When the gingerbread update comes out, if I update to it will I lose root? I rooted using unrevoked3 then flashed unrevoked forever.
Swyped from my supersonic
well DUH
unless its a modded version
Just wait for a dev to cook a rom based on gingerbread.

As a rule of thumb never do OTA updates. You could potentially lose the ability to root forever.
Just check on here when the update cones around. The devs will most likely have a modded rom within the same day.

I doubt the Evo will get Gingerbread. I believe the phones will only get one major upgrade, thus Evo started with 2.1, then went to 2.2. I think we will see the Desire Sense come to the Evo though to get the phones on HTCSense.com. This is just my opinion. Sprint will come out with a replacement phone for the Evo which will come with Gingerbread and it will be almost the year mark for the Evo which is about the timeframe of phone life.

I have no idea what you are talking about and not sure you do either but the evo will get gingerbread and I'm certain cyanogenmod will bring it to the evo long before HTC and sprint.

Who cares if Sprint puts out a Gingerbread update for EVO? Just flash a rom that does. They should be ready within about 2 weeks of the release. This stuff only encourages users to root.

It could be a very very long wait seein as there are a bunch of new phones for them to pay attention to while ignoring the Dincs.
Go ahead and root, tons of us applied the update manually to 2.2 without issue.
I have a family member working for a Verizon as a DM, I try to get information out of him, all he told me is that the Inc is "supposed" to get 2.3, had no timetable when.
When the Evo 3D comes out and the source code gets released for Sense on 2.3 hopefully the guys over here can make it work on the DInc.
I agree with Ben. Root and get 2.3 now. Why wait for a buggy IT'S when we've been building and debugging the source already.

If VZW releases 2.3 for DInc, XDA ROM-ers will do loads of stuff with it anyway...

It says Android version 2.2
Software number 3.70.651.1
On HBOOT says S-ON
Thanks guys!
Yes. You can root it. Head over to the Evo forums and do a little reading. Check out the "stickies" and there should be a one-click root process for it.
Directions will walk you through it step by step. Read, take your time, read, and then go.
Best of luck.

Now which rom do you guys recommend? I always used CyanogenMod before in my Nexus One and also on my HD2.
Decks 2.3.4 builds with savage zens kernel line has always been pretty awesome for me. Great battery, hella fast, and rock stable, its cyanogenmod with some cleaning up and tweaking. I've always felt it was faster and got better battery, just my opinion though

Thank you for the link.
Check out my sig, depends on whether you like Sense or not. Personally, I flash whatever ROM drops the day, but AOSP is my best friend for battery life

Do you mind if I asked where you bought it.
I am thinking that maybe Sprint stores have new stock with 2.3 on it and maybe if I go to Radio Shack their stock would have 2.2 on it.

Asking which rom to update here is like asking which super model to slip the roofie too.
It doesn't matter they're all awesome.
However, our most popular dishes are (in no particular order):
2.2
MikFroyo
Myn Warm TwoPointTwo
Koni's Elite Series III
2.3 (w/sense 1.0)
SNS
Steelh
2.3 (aosp)
You've already got most of the list for that one
2.3 (sense 2.1/3.0)
MikG
Synergy
2.3 (sense 3.0)
Virus Kingdom
Mik and Myn also have 2.0 Roms but they aren't as good as the 2.1/3.0 ones so don't bother with those
Hope I helped out, welcome to the Evo forums.

I bought one from Radio Shack a few days ago and it already had 2.3 on it. I went to exchange it at a different Radio Shack to see if any of their stock had 2.2 but they wouldn't check so I just returned it.
I'm trying to decide if I should file
a claim for my broken dinc1 with asurion and in turn get the dinc2
that they are offering but...
What are the chances that it will
get sent with 2.3.4 making s off impossible?
Id almost rather take the chances
on replacing the screen on my dinc if that's the case :/

You wont get a DInc 2 with 2.3.4. The official gingerbread build is 2.3.3. and it is rootable through revolutionary.
I think the original DInc is getting 2.3.4.

Well that's good news...I guess I got thrown off by the warnings that it wouldn't root 2.3.4 ie that it was a recent ota update. Thanks!
