I'm sure it's a basic/silly question but if I just run Unrevoked3 is it safe to assume I end up with a S-OFF rooted stock phone?
No. You ****ed yourself. Do you know what root or s-off is, or what you've done?
What does your HBOOT say?

Wow that is basically a rude asshole of a response. I have been rooting phones for a couple years so yeah I know wtf I am doing... just never used unrevoked before . if all you were going to do was make rude unproductive responses you shouldn't have wanted your time.

And BTW it's hard to **** yourself when you haven't done anything yet....perhaps u should have read the question more closely....in particular note the use of the word if..

Yes, if you use Unrevoked your phone will be both rooted AND S-OFF when the procedure is finished. Just don't touch your phone while it's running. It will reboot at least a couple of times during the process. Just be patient.

You're correct. And I apologize. I misread your question, and was being a sarcastic jerk. Have you read Unrevoked.com? Not only will you get s-off, it is reversible with a flashable s-on zip. Just don't be 2.3.4 with s-on, or things are tough. AKA accepted OTA.

I had 2.3.4 s-on and he is right took 2 hours and a combination of Adb, downgrade, pushing files, gingerbreak, more Adb, and finally about 20 runs of unrevoked, this phone is unbrickable. But man it took awhile to figure out since after doing Adb you could only do it once, and it didnt work first time so had to just keep playing with it and make smart choices.

I had rooted with unrevoked 3 amd lost my 4g. Had to unroot my phone to take to sprint for other issues. I used RUU to unroot along with the s-on file. Will I be able to reroot using unrevoked 3 again??

I've used Unrevoked on 5 different EVOs, one of which I used it multiple times. Out of those 5 EVOs, 5 were rooted successfully and all 5 still have 4G.
Thanks ill give it a try again.

I've rooted two with unrevoked. All work just fine. Its easiest way possible
Unrevoked does NOT touch your wimax keys.
Thanks everyone, I had read that using RUU to unroot might prevent you being able to root again thats why I asked.
If I have any files on my sd card from unrooting like unrevoked s-on do I need to remove them?

Just use what I posted above, its the easiest method to root 2.2. All you need to do is restart to clear the temp root.

Unrevoked will install clockwork, then you can install amon RA. Lets not jump the gun you still need root lol.
the way your rooting right now is the way i rooted my phone! i think i ran into that exact same problem back then too....i think i pulled my battery and started over....i cant remember...its been like 7-8 months.
also...what you can do...is run the RUU for 2.2 to wipe your phone (also do a factory reset beforehand too and back up your sd card on your comp) and then start over.
or try a different way...try unrevoked or xHausx's method: [ROOT] ~~~ HTC EVO - Auto Root ~~~ v2.5 (4/25/11) - xda-developers
after you got your evo rooted....flash Amon_RA recovery ([Recovery] [09-Feb-2011] RA-supersonic-v2.3 - xda-developers)
hopefully this helps ya out!

The method of unrooting is all dependent on the method you used to root with in the first place. Unrevoked (pre 2.3) vs. Alpharev (post 2.3). what is your hboot and radio and recovery?

I am a "noob" and I tried the htcdev way but was not sure on some things and didn't want to brick my phone. Any advice would be awesome. Running Android 2.3.5 with hboot 2.18
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2
If you're trying to unlock the bootloader with the HTCDEV site and then root, you're not going to brick the phone. Bricking the phone while rooting is pretty much a thing of the past. All that talk about bricking is really more to scare you out of rooting than it is realistic.
Yea I just don't know what I'm doing with the adb and sdk programs.

If you search root 2.18 in the general section, a user made a very detailed guide to root; you should have any problems.
Is there anyway possible to root my og evo without computer? My usb port is broke :l

I think if you downgrade hboot and firmware far enough you could use unrevoked. I think captain Throwback has downgrade PC36imgs available for that. He's got links in pretty much all the root tutorials here in the general forum.

You can always get a sd card reader and put any necessary files on it. However any method of unloicking or rooting does require PC access. Google put a stop to rooting apps quite a while back.
Koush, author of CWM, was working on a CM app store that would be able to host all of these kinds of apps... so we just need to be patient and those days will return.
