Ok so I had my 1.47 Evo and finally decided to root. I ran unrevoked 3 and got root. 1 week later froyo for Evo came out and I got the unofficial .3 update. It gave me 2.2 but I was left with the superuser apk file. Now I'm at the official .6 update but still have the superuser apk. I try to run root apps such as wireless tether but it opens and when I make it tether it says it was unable to start tethering. Running universal androroot I touch it to root and it tells me I already have root. When I touch it to unroot it says it was unable to unroot. Can anybody help me? Please and thank you.

did you install the OTA or the rooted 2.2 release? if you did the OTA, im sorry but you'll have to wait for 2.2 to be rooted just like everyone else who did.
You lost root when you upgraded to 2.2. No way around it.
How do u update a 2.2 rooted evo without un-rooting the phone. And it was rooted with unrevoked forever, keep getting the Ota update but scared to download it.....please help
please search

Hey guys just a quick question about rooting and s-off. I am running the latest stock Vodafone update for my desire hd 2.3.4, and I was wondering am I able to root and s-off it? The reason I'm asking is I came across Chainfire3D to play Tegra games and found out it need both root and s-off, I suddenly felt very gutted
I hope someone can shed some light on this for me.
Many Thanks
No you can't to need to downgrade, root, S-OFF, etc... Then upgrade again.
i canot get my arc rooted after the update
when we can get the gingerbreak
tried all versions with a formatted sd no luck
how can i root my ARC without unlocking the bootloader
i also tried the one click root last version could not root my device
Gingerbreak doesnt work on the 2.3.3, nor is it ever likely to (this isnt exactly news).
Fortunately there is a way of getting root on 2.3.3 with a locked bootloader. There is an entire thread on these very forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115542
I am tired of watching useless YouTube videos, reading useless comments, and doing it from November until today. My Desire HD is updated, as you all DHD users know, the latest update is the Sense 3.0 update, and now it's a 2.3.5 ver. Android on it. The question is? How can I root it?? I REALLY want to root this phone but I couldn't find a solution for 2.3.5 Desire HDs, just the Froyo ones. Help please! I tried GingerBreak, SuperOneClick. Nothing happens, they run forever and do nothing.
Hey dude.
Did your DHD come with Gingerbread or did you OTA update to it?
If your DHD came with Froyo and you updated to GB, you can factory reset your DHD to take it back to Froyo, then follow the instructions here to downgrade to 1.32 then you can root etc...

Thank, it came with Froyo as I've bought it when came out.
You can use AAHK (advanced ace hack kit). Search for it on the site. It is updated to root all versions of Android officially released for DHD. No need to this manually as the AAHK does it all on its own in mere minutes. Just make sure you really read what needs to be done before running it. It really is a very simple process. If you get stuck running it, AAHK has an irc support chan so you can ask there or in the thread directly.

Donno if I am missing something but i cant find this AAHK thing, and the factory reset does not downgrade my phone, just removed all my stuff, but still 2.3.5 and sense 3.0. Why is it so complicated...
Use search in xda. Aahk will find the thread.

I found Jkoljo's method easiest. One click root s/off Downgrade , then root. Easy as 1,2,3
Hey dude.
Here is the link to AAHK http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259821
Hope that helps.

Hi there,
I'm in the same situation as the TS, also with the stock OTA Gingerbread update. So, I understand that a downgrade is unavoidable during the root process right? I understand that AAHK is the way to do it. My question is, will it OTA update back to my current version of GB 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0 after the root and downgrade? Or is OTA updating after this process dangerous or will it undo the root? I'm kinda guessing that flashing the stock 3.12.405.1 ROM manually will undo the root process?
I know there are probably many magnificent ROM's out there that I could flash. But I just don't have the time to identify the differences, try things out and maybe change to another ROM because of bugs. I did do that back in the old WinMo days. Then I would probably flash a new ROM weekly, because there was something faster or more bugfree. Because, even a ROM from the greatest chef has some bugs. I don't have time for that anymore unfortunately, so I'd like to stick with the stock ROM which is good enough for me.
In fact, the only thing I want is root, in order to control permissions from apps (Permissions Denied app) and make better (Titanium) backups. I want nothing more.
Please help me out!

You could OTA update back to 2.3.5, but you would lose root! ;-) Here is a pre rooted stock ROM you can use after rooting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382235
