You can update to the latest ota. Then go to revolutionary.io then follow the instructions to root your evo.

Create a nandroid, install a 2.2 rom, like warm 2.2, and you're good.

Can i unroot my 2.2?

I just recived my replacement evo loaded with 2.1 yay. can i unroot my 2.2 phone to send it back to sprint?
Yeah, just look for the official RUU. It's in here somewhere as people were using it to help update from the leaked .3 release to the official .6

Tryin to figure out

Ok I just rooted my Evo not too long ago and I'm interested in the CyanogenMod 6.. now my question is, do I just have to download the mirror where it says 6.0.0 supersonic and follow the steps or do I need to download any other part for this root?

UnrEVOked Forever help needed

HTC Evo rooted via UnrEVOked 3
Using stock Rom Froyo 2.2
H-BOOT # 0.97.0000
radio # 2.15.00.09.01
Will using UnrEVOked forever to get Nand unlock wipe out everything ?
Is there a way not to loose data ? Or just a better way ?
I'm not so experienced with rooting ;-)

If you rooted with unrevoked 3 then there is no reason to run unrevoked forever. You are s-off I take it? If you are still s-on for some reason running unrevoked forever will not wipe your phone.
But will give me S-OFF ?

Update OTA , help needed ! ! !

Can i update the OTA on a rooted Evo through Rom manager ?
I'm using the stock Rom Froyo 2.2
Should I update ? Do I need to update ?

If you want to update, download a rooted stock rom and flash. If you already have a stock rooted 2.2, it isn't necessary to flash the new 3.70 release....the new release is just a sprint maintenance upgrade...you really wont see any new functionality.

Friend's EVO, never Rooted, S-Off, cant install Superuser???

My buddies EVO has never been rooted and he got the GB OTA. He wants to go to CM7. His bootloader says S-off so I don't know why I can't install superuser.
Oh, I searched dont cop a 'ttude
His phone is rooted, but the ROM doesn't have superuser privileges. Download a rooted 2.3 version and install it for superuser privileges. Flash AmonRa as a PC36IMG if need be

Wait whoa just read that. He has never rooted his phone, but it says S-Off? And if it is S-Off, just flash AmonRa and go to the CM7 thread and download it and flash it.

How could that be how could he have s-off and never have been rooted?
Is that possible?

Got to admit he is right how is that possible. Sounds like it was rooted and had unrevoked forever then he updated. Why he updated is another story but like you were told just run Amon PC36IMG file and flash away
Try z4root
