so i just went threw and attempted to room my evo 4g with unrevoked says failed due to to new of firmware? need help please
I'm guessing that you have a newer or updated evo 4g that is running Gingerbread 2.3.3. Unrevoked won't get you rooted. You need to use Revolutionary to root. There are many threads on how to do it. It's very easy and only takes 5 minutes.

ok thanks basicly same process?
Idk I've never used Unrevoked. All you do is go to their website, put in your phones serial number to get a beta Key. Install their program, extract their program, plug your phone in to computer, run the program, type in the beta Key exactly as it is, and let it do its thing and bam you're rooted.

Make sure you have debugging checked

Also makes sure your phone has a good charge on the battery. Rooting through Revolutionary is very simple but find a thread that explains it and follow those steps exactly.

I just used the revolutionary.io method
It is very simple if you just follow the tutorial

The Q&A Forum is more suited for this.
Thread moved to Q&A.
How about you give us some details about your phone and what you have tried? What software version are you running? Clearly you haven't tried every method because the Evo is rootable.
Unrevoked 3 will work I used it day before yesterday its really easy

I have the same evo got it like a week ago I used the hboot s-off guide under android development but only problem I had with that program was that I couldnt access recovery so then I used unrevoked to flash clockworkmod revovery do this at your own rish though I messed my first evo up by just using unrevoked camera wouldnt work im 14 I think you will be able to figure out how to use the hboot guide but when you flash a rom make sure its a 3.30.651.3 other wise you camera wont work im using OmegeEvo v1.1 by racism

do not use unrevoked it will permanently curropt your radio. unrevokied 3 is now out of date, thanks to htc's latest security update. use an alternative method if you happen to have a mac, i have a very nice 2 or 3 command root kit for you... testers wanted

I did not have any problems rooting my EVO using Unrevoked3. I followed the simple instructions and the process was painless. Before getting my EVO, I rooted my Droid Incredible using Unrevoked3. As for it being outdated as stated by someone else, I'm unaware of it. Check out the second link above and read for yourself. Happy Thanksgiving.

unrevoked does not work on any 3.30 evo software because of the new hboot security. it will not gain root, just corrupt the radio.

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??
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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?

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.
So I had already unlocked the phone using HTCDev's boot unlocker. Everything seemed fine right up until it came time in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751796 to run Revolutionary. The phone is bootlooping to the point that Revolutionary can't get the root, it fails and says hit almost any key to exit.
Any help would be appreciated, I'm about to throw this thing through the window.
is it GB 2.3.3 or 2.3.4?
try flashing a newer radio
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Do you happen to have a link to one?
crap the only place its even stable enough is at the bootloader and adb can't communicate with it. I don't know what to do. This blows.
search this forum for radios. there's a thread on dev section. and what android version were you on when you tried to root? might have to use taco root for 2.3.4 I think
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Well, if you unlocked through HTC you have to relock in order to s-off. Not sure if you knew that.
