Solved.

Ok, so I have a samsung captivate, and with the captivate i do not have to root to flash recovery and then a custom ROM.
But, my friend has an EVO and wants a ROM. Only problem is he's running 2.2, which as I've read hasn't been rooted for evo yet.
So, can I bypass needing root by simply flashing recovery and flashing custom ROM?
Regards
Smith

Yes, you can root 2.2 and no you can not bypass it

You need to provide more details...
1. By what means did you get it?
2. Did you root the phone?
3. Do you have a warranty?
4. What kind of error?
5. A screenshot perhaps?
Explain your problem more in detail, also I think this is the wrong section for that. check the general questions section.

cant downgrade 2.3, you are stuck on there till there is a new root for it sorry

You tried using a gold card to downgrade it?

When did T-Mobile send the upgrade
Also I think this is in the wrong section

Wrong section. You should either be posting in the QA section, or one of the root threads with the error you get.

When was gb released? My sister hasn't gotten it yet.

but is the OTA for gingerbread being pushed to those who arent rooted yet?

Got the phone on craigs list the previous owner sent it in for repair for hinge issue and got it back with 2.3. The phone isn't rooted. I like 2.3 but prefer my freedom. I'm at work and can't recall the error but I can push the files with adb but get the error when I run adb shell p.... I did the goldcard. I'm thinking I'm stuck, but ill give it another shot later

Meanwhile, those of us with root have had Gingerbread for a couple months now. If it's not available OTA, it's not officially available.

yup i have it too as well not a big deal, no its not OFFICIAILY OUT, but the Official stock rom is here to flash for those that want to try, this is the latest one and most likely gonna be pushed out.
as my sig shows i have one g2 rooted running cm7 and my other on stock gingerbread no root or s-off
as well this Leaked officail rom was able to fix those that had soft bricks and could not unbrick
and everyone knows to do that the roms have to be signed officialy by htc/tmobile

HTC EVO 4g Gingerbread HELP!!!

Ok so I updated my phone to 2.3.3. Now can I still root it without loosing anything including the stock ROM?

If there is a root method that works for 2.3.3, then yes. Check the unrevoked website and other root related sites and see if it is possible.

No root method for 2.3.3 yet. If you're s on, you're out of luck until a new exploit is discovered.

Unless your s-off with hboot 2.18 your SOL sorry. When you said you reverted to stock did you switch back to s-on also or just leave s-off?

If he's on the newest update which would give him hboot 2.18 , htcdev.com is what u would need to unlock it
