Just wondering if its the same method as the o.g evo. I tried to root it once but I needed to updated my adb, but should I use the kingdom root method or will revolutionary work for it as well? Also what roms will work on it?

You need to use the evo design root method because revolutionary does not support it im pretty sure

Even if it does, it will only root and nand unlock, unrevoked is the way to go for both ease and efficiency

Unlocking NAND will allow you to install a custom recovery and completely open your phone, the rooting will just alllow certain apps to run temporarily at that moment, basically rendering your time useless

No, unrevoked just roots your rom with root access, ect. You won't lose any data, apps, ect.
this works for me can't promise that it would work for anyone else....but if you use z4root and get temporary root you can then use rom manager to fully root your phone which will last after reboot and everything....
z4root gives you temporary root and Rom manager lets you flash a custom recovery/roms.
I don't see how a combination of the two would or could give you a NAND Unlock.

He is correct... s-off / nand unlock is necessary for full root.. the evo is easy to root anyways....

Thanks for this. I've had evo since launch, and it was easy to root 2.1, but am terrified if i need a freeplacement.
I'm sure ill try this first.

Typically you don't have to worry about it for a freeplacement, If you root it all you have to do is flash a stock RUU and everything will go back to orignial. I had to take my wifes for repaired yesterday due to the flash quit working. I just installed a stock RUU from sprint. Had it fixed, went home re-rooted and restored with nandroid and you would never know.
Just use unrevoked. Its super easy to fully root your phone.

worked for me on a friends htc hero. The download I used though gave my computer a virus and was caught by windows defender after the fact so be carefull were you download it from.
but the thing you will be missing is the ability to do a NANDbackup! Among other things that full root gives you.

Hey, guys. needs some advice here.
I rooted my evo like long time ago. However, I unrooted it since I have to bring it back to Sprint store to fix the charging port.
Anyways, i checked here, xda, and a few youtube clips. unrEVOked 3.3.2 from unrEVOked website, auto root from XDA, and the guide by Fred from here. I just wonder how you guy feel about these 3 ways, which way you guys recommend best to do now?
Just one quick question, unrEVOked 3.3.2 will trun NAND off too, right?

This method is newer and its pretty good. When I used unrevoked I successfully rooted but my fastboot doesn't work. Everything I have to flash is done in hboot or recovery. Unrevoked is pretty damn good though.

True dat, I noticed that the latest 2.5 auto root is just out like a week ago. And I watched the video guide about that, it takes much longer than unrEVOked. But it seems very automatic, just need some patient.

like the first time, i chose toasted method, since it was the most complete way to root back then, even it's much more steps than unrEVOked. I want to do it more right this time too. i have to admit that all methods improved a lot now, just want to hear you guys' recommendation.

Again, thx.
any one else would like to share some experience here? I really appreciate it.
I have seen to many users run into problems with unrevoked. I did it manually using adb commands and it took a while but I knew what was going on if something messed up. That said, I watched a vid on that autoroot tool and it gives you a decent step-by-step with log if something messed up. I would recommend it, or of course, you could still use the manual method in the dev forum. The title says they are no longer updating it, but no releases have occurred since then so everything in it still applies.

I have used the auto root method on about 5 evo's worked like a charm everytime.. I spent about a month researching countless forums.. Was about to use unrevoked however was detoured because some people were not getting full root and various other problems.. From what I read now they all work.

I've rooted 2 evos 2 heros a g1 a g2 an incredible and an eris all with unrevoked3 and it worked flawlessly. Just follow instructions and enjoy
Rooted 3 evos, 1 over xbox live, with unrevoked, and no problems. Just need the hboot drivers, install then uninstall htc sync, then run.
And don't forget to turn on usb debugging.
I'm opposite of some here, I've heard of tons of issues with Autoroot & the Evo, but fairly few with unrevoked.
I'd have to place my vote with unrevoked if you're looking for an automatic rooting process. Just remember that whatever you do, read the directions thoroughly.

I agree, most people have issues with autoroot, from what I've seen and dealt with.
Thanks for those reminding and experience sharing. I guess it's much simpler to use unrEVOked there, besides, i m using MacOS, so no need to download those driver or sync for unrEVOked, am I right?

Everything you need for the Mac is contained in the unrevoked pkg. I've rooted 4 Evos using my Mac and it doesn't get any easier. Enjoy the root goodness and good luck!
Before I updated my Desire to official Gingerbread 2.3.3, I had used Visionary+ to temp root my phone. It doesn't work with Gingerbread and also looks like the app has come to end of life.
I tried searching the forum and Google, found many solutions but only to perm root.
I don't want to downgrade or change any ROM or do perm root. I'm looking for temp root only, like with Visionary+. I install it in my phone click temp root and done.
If anyone knows about this app, please let me know. I'd appreciate it very much.
Gingerbread closes the exploit visionary+ used for temp root. As far as I am aware, there is no temp root app yet. Can I ask why you don't want perm root?

I only want root, nothing else. No different ROM or loader or other fancy stuff.
I don't think I can say give me perm root like visionary+ temp root but don't change any stuff in my phone. I sincerely hope I'm wrong here.
You can go perm root and still use your stock rom.. You don't have to change that if you don't want to.

Oh! I can. I tried unrevoked but it only talks about custom ROM. Am I misinterpreting something? Please advise.
Unrevoked doesn't work on GB. You have to use revolutionary.
Yes it opens the door for custom Roms, but you don't have to.

The FAQ in unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/revolutionary says:
Does Revolutionary give me root?
No. You will need to flash this zipfile from recovery.
So this means I don't need revolutionary for rooting?
How to flash that file from recovery?
You need first revolutionary, then recovery then you can flash zip. You need s-off first provided by revolutionary to get root. You can't get it without it

You may have to install the Android driver manually. I had to when I rooted my Incredible. For some reason when Unrevoked tried to do it, it failed. But it installed fine when I ran the standalone driver installer.
Does unrevoked work with the Gingerbread update? I am getting a replacement phone from Verizon tomorrow and I am sure it will come with 2.3.4 on it and want to make sure I will be able to root it again.

You can root with it but you cannot achieve s-off. To get s-off back you will need to downgrade first to 2.2 gain root and s-off then upgrade to a gb based ROM.
