No, you need S-OFF in order to root the evo. Which root method will depend on your version of hboot your bootloader has.

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

Ok I have a rooted EVO with the 2.10 hboot. I'm considering trading with my friend who has an EVO with the for now, unrootable 2.16 hboot.....If we were to swap phones, SD cards, numbers, the whole nine.... Would my phone lose root?? Thx in advance!
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
since your swapping for the unrooted Evo with hboot 2.16, then yes....you will lose root. hboot 2.16 is still locked and there is no way to root it as of yet. be patient tho....there will be a rooting method out soon...you just have to give it time

No it won't unless you accept an ota etc or unroot it yourself.

correct...that will keep root...as long as your friend doesnt update with OTA
If youre on an AOSP ROM flash a Sense ROM to provision the phone (don't know about about all AOSP ROMs by Cyanogen wont let you put in ## codes or update profile to program), and flash back to whatever you want afterwards. Just don't accept the update.

I am finally ready to root. I want to root for one purpose only......wifi hotspot. I know it has risk, but I'm eligible for an upgrade so worst case scenario.....I'll upgrade. I really don't want to, though.
Soo......I really don't want to try this if the risk is too great for bricking. But if the risk is minimal, then could someone tell me the best step by step guide out there? I'm not that savvy but follow directions well.
I have the very first EVO 4g that came out on June 4, 2010. I have upgraded to 2.3.5 ota. Baseband version 2.15.00.12.19, kennel version 2.6.35.10
Build number 4.67.651.3 XL239674 with software number 4.67.651.3. PRI version 2.33_003, PRL version 60687
Imho its hard to brick your evo and if all you want to do is use it for tether I wouldnt bother with the s-off process untill u get more advance in rooting..here's an awesome guide by captian_throwback make sure u think him

Bricking is actually difficult to do unless your screwing around with your system lol. Its actually quite simple. After you root, you download a ROM(Its basically a UI and how the phone works) and then you Flash it(install it). Youl have a lot of terms to learn lol
I finally rooted mine today for the first time with 2.3.5 and h-boot 2.18 and I used HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader and I must say that it was a pain in the butt. I got it unlocked and tried using the PC36IMG.ZIP to install a Amon RA Recovery and it kept telling me that the main version is newer or something like that. I ended up having to use fastboot to flash the recovery image. Then after installing recovery I had to use the option in recovery to install superuser (really glad that was there)
Then after all that I found the thread using revolutionary plus to root h-boot 2.18 which I'm sure would have made it a lot easier.
I too just wanted root for one reason, to remove bloatware

You should first check your bootloader to see which root method you need.
I have 2.18

If i install a stock unrooted rom will i loose my custom recovery and s-off?
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
A ROM will not remove either S-OFF or recovery; I believe a RUU will replace recovery.
A ruu will replace both bootloader and recovery. But you still got S-OFF.
Hello guys. Never used a HTC device (Moto junkie). What must be achieved for root and loading a custom recovery on the One? Also, anything I should know before diving into CM11 nightlies?
Sent from my XT907 using xda premium
For root you must have S-OFF and and an unlocked bootloader. Go find the Rumrunner S-OFF tool which will also help you inject root. Then you can SuperCID your phone to use HTCDev bootloader unlock. Then you can easily flash in a custom recovery, kernel, ROM, etc.
I'm not sure what process the other guy followed but rumrunner will unlock bootloader and soff device. If it runs properly you will also have root. You will probably have to fastboot flash a custom recovery afterwards but that's about it. If you don't have root after using the tool just download supersu zip and flash in recovery.

For roms, I recommend either CM11 or the GPE port (both are 4.4). Both are great. Good luck with S-OFF!
