Unrevoked hasn't worked since Froyo, at least 6 months ago. You used to be able to use Revolutionary to root gingerbread, but since the latest update the only way to root it is to use the HTCDEV unlock method.

Theres no one click app that works yet,but you can try revolutionary root...
1: Download and install HTC drivers HTC drivers
2: Download the rooting tool/program revolutionary . You will need to enter in your Evo's serial number (under the battery) and be sure to save the beta key.You'll need it later,you will also need to copy and paste,sometimes it won't take if you type it in.
3: Enable USB debugging (settings>applications>development>turn on USB debugging) and connect the evo to your PC as charge only
4: Un-zip the S-OFF tool and run the program, making sure to install the custom recovery when prompted. (unless you already know what you're doing and want to put Amon_Ra or TWRP recovery on there)
5: Download SuperUser and boot into recovery. To enter recovery: power off completely, yes battery pull while off too be sure, then hold volume down+power and from there go to recovery and confirm.
6: install superuser from recovery (you must put the Superuser zip on the SD card first, before booting into recovery. Or mount your SD card while in recovery to take it too your Evo. OR, download it too your phone before booting into recovery )
YOU ARE NOW ROOTED.
7: (optional but highly recommended) Make a nandroid backup via recovery and then put it on the PC just to be sure nothing will happen too it.
Now you said your friend installed the new update,there has been an issue with rooting after the new update,because the bootloader was updated and locked.If thats the case,then go here .

Unlock bootloader via HTCDEV method.
Flash your custom recovery.
Mount your phone, move your ROM zip onto your SD card.
Reboot phone/bootloader/fastboot then in your cmd prompt (pointed to your SDK folder) boot your phone into your recovery.
In your recovery flash the zip file of your preferred ROM.

two days ago, i rooted my phone using simple root, nand unclocked and flashed clockwordmod and everything. i was using fresh rom, and i wanted to use the vanilla lockscreen. but in order to do that, i needed to flash amons ra. i tried doing that, and somehow i got rid of my clockword recovery mod (and amons ra didnt work) so whenever i went into recovery mode, it just stayed at the screen with the phone and triange and red exclamation mark. i tried running the recovery windows .bat file, but it didnt work. and i tried running the ruu .exe file to unroot my phone, but everytime it said it couldnt find my device, even though it was connected via a usb chord. i tried it in charge only mode, disk drive mode, and htc sync mode and none of them worked. i tried using rom manager, but everytime i tried doing something it said error attempting to run privilidged scrips or something. i tried downloading the superuser .apk file and installing it onto my phone, but that didnt work either. the terminal emulator didnt work when i tried to flash something, it just said it couldnt find the file on my sd card, even though i put it on there. help?
Okay, number one: Did you try holding volume UP + power at the red exclamation screen? I think that's how you enter AR recovery.
Number two: You can flash Fresh tweaks without using AR. You just have to reboot into ClockworkMod and flash the .zip files manually.
Are you able to boot ANY ROM right now? If so, is it rooted? If it is, try to reinstall ROM Manager.
Sounds like you went a little off the deep end when you couldn't get into AR.
any suggestions?
Yeah, answer my questions or provide more info so you can get better direction.
you can reflash either recovery with the simple root program or you can follow the first part of toasts root method part 2 to restore recovery.

ill try your first suggestion. and i cant boot any rom right now, because rom manager isnt working. and im pretty sure my phone is rooted, because i still have dev tools and CIQ settings and all those rooted apps.
update: your first suggestion worked, except once i entered AR recovery, the only options i had were: reboot system now, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, and wipe cache partition. at the bottom, it said "E: can't open /cache/recovery/command,

i tried reflashing with simple root but it didnt work. can you give me a link for toasts method?
i had a similar problem, i used the OTA simple root, get that and plug ur phone back in with debugging on , one of the drop down menus will let you flash a recovery so flash clockworkmod
okay so somehow i managed to unroot it by wiping my data/cache..but now whenever i try using simpleroot or OTA simpleroot it doesnt work, because it says device is not found. i have it plugged in via usb, usb debugging is on, and ive tried it in charge mode and disk drive mode. anyone know what the problem is?
I'm sure there is a way to fix this, but I would suggest using the full root method by toastcfh.
okay i'll just reroot using that method, thanks. also, whenever im on my computer and im using command prompt, none of the adb commands ever work. do i need to download something for it to work?
Yes, you need the ADB framework. Read the guide (or the one by TheBiles, which is basically a rewrite). The ADB framework is a part of the Android SDK. You have to run ADB commands from the ADB directory (which is actually the "tools" folder inside of the SDK directory, wherever you extract that). Just cd to the tools folder, then run your commands from there.
If you have Unrevoked 3 installed:
1. Download stock Evo Recovery image (Can't find it anywhere... EVO Stock Recovery? - xda-developers)
2. Place the file in root of SD card and reboot into HBOOT (volume down/power button)
3. Do the update that HBOOT asks (vol. up for YES)
4. Reboot
5. Once rebooted, download OTA and install (should work now)
6. Once install finishes successfully you can reinstall a custom recovery using the same method (a list of them are here: public:forever [RootWiki])
7. Once you have a custom recovery back, you will need to reinstall Superuser as an update.zip through recovery ([APP] Superuser 2.3.6.1 - Now on the Market [2010-09-05] - xda-developers)
8. Reboot and enjoy!
Well I followed the instructions and the update went through... HOWEVER I have now lost root.... Help please.
EDIT: S-OFF does appear when I boot into the bootloader...
If you have S-Off, than you have not lost root.
YOu probably just lost your recovery, and you need to reflash it.
This tutorial from tws101 worked for me (I can't post a link as a new user):
"This guide will allow you to install the new OTA 3.29.651.5 when you have clockwork installed and will guide you into re-rooting the phone afterwards. (This does NOT wipe your data)
I am sorry if someone already posted this.
Requirements
1. Froyo 2.2 version 3.26.651.6 (Stock)
2. Clockwork
3. S-OFF
Files to Download (If you have a file manager on your phone you can just direct download them with the EVOs browser)
1. OTA_Supersonic_3.29.651.5 This is the new OTA update
2. ClockworkMod recovery for EVO 4G Clockwork (I know you already have it. This is to reinstall it)
3. su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip Superuser (This is also to reinstall)
Step one
Place OTA_Supersonic_3.29.651.5 on your SD cards root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. Once the bootloader is up goto recovery so clockwork loads up. Choose apply zip from sd card. Choose select zip on sd card. You will see the OTA file on the list flash it. Just wait for it to install it will reboot the phone show a progress bar reboot again they show a percentage etc it takes a few minutes.
Now you have the update installed, but the update removed clockwork and root.
Step two
Place ClockworkMod recovery for EVO 4G on your sd card root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. The bootloader will scan the new will and ask you to press Volume up to install. Install it.
Now you have clockwork installed again. Please remove the clockwork file from the root of your SD card before going to step 3.
Step Three
Place su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip on the SD cards root folder. Power off and reboot holding Volume down. Once the bootloader is up goto recovery so clockwork loads up. Choose apply zip from sd card. Choose select zip on sd card. You will see the SU file on the list flash it.
Now you are updated and rerooted. (I have been told it is possible to just rerun unrevoked instead of doing step 2 and 3. I did not test that method. I am simply showing a different method.)
Update
I am now getting 53 FPS with FPS 2D"
Thanks tws101

You dont take updates once you are rooted, just flash a rooted ROM
First of all - Once you have rooted your phone - NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER do an OTA update from sprint............
Not sure what your software version is or your hBoot, but if you have 2.02 hboot and 3.30 software, then you can do it the way I did...
having said that - You have not lost root, S-Off = Root, you just lost your recovery... all you need to do is flash a new custom recovery. I use Amon_Ra, but clockwork will work as well... what ever your preferance is...
I cant find the amon_ra that I used, so here is the new CW (attachment 1) - download it - rename it to just (all CAPS except extention!!) "PC36IMG.zip" - Then save it to the root of your SD card. Also save attachment 2 to the root of your SD card.
Boot into hBoot, it will scan the SD card for the PC36IMG.zip - when it asks to do update - click yes... After update completes it will ask to reboot - click NO, then scroll down to flash the superuser app (2nd attachment), I forget what exactly it says but its some thing like "flash from SDcard" or some thing like that...
after you flash the SU.apk, then reboot and if all is good - download ROM manger and flash the Amon_Ra recovery (3rd attachment) and make a NAND backup with Amon_Ra first - cause I'll be honest - I used the CWmod first and I had a bunch of Force Close issues after I did a NAND backup with CW...
Good luck!
Unrevoked ecc... Do not work
The current HBOOT of the 2.2.1 RUU or OTA can not be rooted. Try flashing a shipped ruu of eclair (2.1) and try rooting, then flash wilddpuzzle or danne_jo's safe ruu pack.
So is there no way to root 2.2.1 ?
still no way to root 2.2.1 on wildfire?

Thanks!
Wildfire froyo ROOT***
"REQUIRE S-OFF can be achieved only by an XTC clip
After a fruitfull search i found that this is the only method currently available for rooting wildfire.
First of all let me say I'm not the developer of this steps..
To do the rooting you must have your Wildfire with S-OFF, HBOOT 1.02.0002 and Android 2.2.1 . You can check it by booting into HBOOT (power on your phone by holding the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button) .This method is strictly for the 2.2.1 owners. How you can turn the S-OFF is your headache, you can try the alpharev (ask the team if they can get you a 2.0 test version... ) or you can wait for Unrevoked 3.33 or you can straight off go to market and hunt for XTC clip. Either way, try it and don't attempt to anything before you get S-OFF. Actually the notorious S-ON flag is the cause rooting wildfire is such a pain in the a**.
What I have to correct is "The only way to keep S-OFF is using an XTC clip (as i did) there is no version of alpha rev available for wildfire yet and unrevoked 3.33 is also not available.."
If you are successful in keeping S-OFF kindly follow this steps........
I used to have this
and I converted it into this
or this =)
Anyways, here is how you can root HTC wildfire 2.2.1 and get htc wildfire Android 2.3
What you need ?
HTC wildfire with S-OFF , HBOOT 1.01.0002 , OS Froyo 2.2.1
USB Drivers (http://www.feedblitz.com/t2.asp?/37...unrevoked.com/recovery/android-usb-driver.zip)
RUU Rom 2.1 / RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_130814_signed (http://www.feedblitz.com/t2.asp?/37...45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_130814_signed.exe)

Disclaimer
I am not responsible if your phone gets bricked, by following the process you are voiding your warranty and significant damage may be caused to your device.
Its all for educational purposes only, if you are dumb enough to screw somewhere then I will be the one who will be laughing at you.
Software are unpredictable in nature, one may/may not act as predicted especially in case of rooting (personal experience). Hence my friend, tread carefully.
in short,
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR STUPIDITY.
Step 1 - Installing the USB drivers
Download USB drivers and extract them on desktop. Turn off your wildfire and boot into HBOOT by holding the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button. Connect your phone to your PC and it will show "drivers installing" or similar there for Android device. When prompted , install the drivers by going to device manager and browsing to the folder where you extracted the drivers. Once installed, disconnect and reboot your phone normally.
Now you need to install the Android bootloader interface. Connect it to your HTC wildfire to the PC and it will ask for drivers again, now go to device manager, click on unknown device,
click on update driver -> install from specific location -> No i will choose to install -> choose Android phone and click on adb interface -> click next -> when asked to install click on continue anyway, just install them.
Once done you will see your phone recognized as "Android bootloader interface". Now disconnect your phone and go into
settings -> applications - > development - > enable USB Debugging.
Congratulations, the first step is complete.
Step 2 - Downgrading from Android 2.2.1 Froyo to Android 2.1 Eclair
Download the RUU rom which is an original stock rom. Plug your phone into the PC and set it to "Charge through USB". Double click RUU rom .exe. Follow the on screen instructions and then let it install. Your phone will reboot into stock HTC 2.1 This will be the last time you will be seeing it though.
The HBOOT version will be now 0.80.0002 (check it by powering on your phone by holding the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button) Once done disconnect your phone.
Step 3 - Gaining root using UnrEVOked , get clockworkmod and set your phone free
Download the test version of unrevoked. Let me repeat, DO NOT USE UNREVOKED 3.32 as it will lead to CID errors or to be precise this error
"validation error backup cid is missing"
This may be caused as the 3.32 doesnot support HBOOT 0.82.0002. Hence You need specific test version of Unrevoked 3.2 to do the job. Download it, save it on desktop, and run it. Now connect your phone and the rooting will start. Once donw, you will have Clockworkmod recovery installed on your phone. Reboot your phone now (using the VOLUME UP/DOWN key for navigation and clicking using TRACKBALL, the POWER button takes you back in menus). Once rebooted, you will see the superuserapp in your phone and congratulations, your phone is successfully rooted
Step 4 - Installing Cyanogenmod 7 or Android Gingerbread 2.3.3
Download the Cyanogenmod 7 with google apps and save it on desktop, connect your phone as USB diskdrive and transfer both zip files on SD card. Once done, reboot your phone into ClockworkMod Recovery (booting by holding the VOLUME DOWN + POWER button and clicking on recovery)
Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the side VOLUME buttons to move around, and either the POWER button or the TRACKBALL to select.
Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard.
choose update-cm-7.0.0-buzz-signed.zip & Let it install.
Once done, Select Install zip from sdcard.
Select Choose zip from sdcard, choose gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
Once the installation has finished, to get back to the main menu by clicking the POWER button and select the Reboot system now option.
Congrats..The HTC Wildfire should now boot into CyanogenMod.
Enjoy Android 2.3.3

here's how i managed to do it :
1. s-off with alpharevx beta
2. root with superoneclick 1.9.5
if you want to flash clockwork recovery (needed to flash custom roms like cyanogenmod)
3.download clockwork recovery.img for wildfire
4.copy recovery.img to root of sd card (must be named recovery.img)
5.install root toolbox from market
6.erase current recovery (root toolbox->advanced->erase recovery)
7.flash recovery.img (root toolbox->advanced->flash recovery)

Whenever i try flashing htc desire with alpharev cd method...i get an error as soon as my device is found..sumthing like cmd.exe not found
please help..
HTC DESIRE..with android 2.2 rooted with unrevoked 3.2
please guide
Do i need to put the bravo_alphaspl.img file in my ph first and then try the cd method..
or first i have to go thru the cd method
then palce the img file on my ph and use it thru boot loader??
please guide as i am totally confused and i dont want to brick my ph
Is your phone in USB-Debug-Mode and connected with "only charge/ never ask for connection mode" to your computer?
Maybe it's because htc sync is installed?, i've never heard of that error before..

With the alpharev cd method you start computer from a cd with a linux-live-system, which was only made for s-off. So your OS installed on harddisk does not start at all. Therefore HTC Sync, which is usually installed on windows, or rather any program installed on your computer is unable to disturb.

You just download the alpharev iso to your hard drive, burn it to CD and boot from that, following on screen instructions.
I had a problem with "device not recognised or unsupported at this time" and I wonder if yours is similar. I had stock sense 2.2, rooted with unrevoked 3.3.2.
As soon as I flashed a rooted, non-sense rom (oxygen as it happens), it worked first time!
I have tried almost evrything..still i am not able to make alpharev work for me..
I dont want to flash a new rom..cos the only thing i want is some extra internal space by deleting some system apps..
so is it possible to re-root my ph using unrevoked 3.32 ( as it provides s-off and nand unlock which will allow me to install bb) from unrevoked 3.2 directly
or should i first unroot unrevoked 3.2 and then root it with 3.32
You have rooted your phone with unrevoked right? So you must have a revovery-system. Do the following:
1.) Download an AOSP-Rom like oxygen or defrost (which i used without any problems)
2.) Copy the zip on your sd-card
3.) Reboot your phone into recovery
4.) Do a complete nandroid backup
5.) Do a full wipe (nandroid backup won't get deleted)
6.) Flash downloaded AOSP-Rom
7.) Reboot phone completely
8.) S-Off your phone with alpharev by following the steps on the screen after booting your computer with the downloaded cd
9.) Boot your phone completely
10.) Reboot your phone into recovery
11.) Restore nandroidbackup
12.) Reboot phone
13.) Have fun with S-OFF and your previous rom
I did it so a few days ago and it worked properly without any problems ;-)

thanks ppl for the help
now i have another noooooob ques..
why do i have to flash hboot with bravo_alphaspl.img??
what is the use of it??
and how to do it??
i placed the img file in the root of my sd card and tried to access it in the fastboot mode but i didnt find ""flash hboot bravo_alphaspl.img"" option there
so what am i doing wrong??
also i did a nandroid backup..now how should i check the md5sum generated in the backup??
another thing...i rechecked the system folder properties through es file explorer..and it still says that the folder is not writable?? and still i am not able to install bb in my device...
Download the .img file
Then download Android Flasher
Then select HBOOT and choose the partition table you have.
What's the use of it? I think it was explained a million times in various threads/ROM threads etc. - shortly more internal memory for apps (ROM dependant).
You have to check the root exlorer- option in the settings of es datei explorer. But it only works for CM and HIAPK- rom... imho you have to buy root explorer to get the best root exploring.

you must set up ADB on your pc : http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ you dont need to do steps 3-5 since you already have the drivers (the same as rooting), you must download the ADB files from 'update' part after the step six, and dont do ADB devices cmd, do 'fastboot devices' while in fastboot mode (back+power) to check if you get a serial number (if yes it works if not you didnt do it right way)
when done, put your phone into fastboot mode (back+power) and in windows command prompt do :
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
this should fix your SD, then go into recovery and check if you can mount your SD (USB storage) to use it in windows, if yes you are good if not that is an USB-brick, it is fixable so dont worry
Thanks for the help .... Will try this ASAP....hope it helps
Also my phone is NOT S-OFF...Do i need this before proceeding or can I solve the issue like this..??
you dont need S-OFF and, if you have USB-brick i dont think you can make this procedure
first, do what i told you (set up adb and enable your sd card) and check if your phone has any usb-connectivity
also this will help you - How to set up pc to use adb and fastboot (if you wont make it with unlockr method)

thank dzumagos
I am now able to to mount SD card and able to see all files
but wen I run them thru recovery it show..
opening package.. then updating package.. then it returns to main screen of CWM recovery... does nothing ...this is happeing with all the zip files...
are you 100% sure the .zip file are OK ?
try downloading Oxygen ROM and flashing it.
also i do understand you can connect your phone with computer with USB cable [with USB storage enabled in recovery, does the windows see the FAT partition on sdcard] ?
check your md5 sums - or flash another recovery
Yes the zip files are OK i already installed them before (RCmixS)
but wen i mount from recovery the usb is not seen in windows...
but now m able to see the files in sd in recovery but cannot install ROM thru it..or run any zip file
usb brick ? Usb cannot be seen by windows?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=691187
If i insert USB separately thru adapter it can be seen but wen the mount thru recovery it is not seen..does this mean it has bricked ..windows says cannot recognize mass storage device...
plz help guys still no gain...cant install rom...
firstly lets try to flash a rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=839640&highlight=clockworkmod
download clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 ZIP file and put it onto your SD
then boot into recovery and flash the downloaded CWM.zip, it should now boot up into clockworkmod 3.0.0.5
now try flashing a ROM (rcmixs or some AOPS - Oxygen or CM7)
you can also try with clockworkmod 3.2.0.1 (but 3.0.0.5 is better imho)

now hopefully you will have a bootable device. now the usb-brick.
all you need to know is in the 1st posts of this two threads

also in the second thread there is 'visionary+' mentioned but you do not need it, since you are rooted already.
both threads describe the same method, read them and you will know what to do.
good luck
-----------------------
if for any reason you cant flash a ROM with a diffrent recovery then im outta ideas. someone else would have to figure out why cant you flash a ROM (not being able to flash a rom has got nothing to do with usb-brick)
just to be safe, try with oxygen.
----------------------
and if nothing works you could try a RUU (put phone into fastboot and then run the .exe file on PC and it will work) this should restore you to a Stock unrooted rom, but the USB-Brick will still be there, so you would need to do the method from 2nd thread with visionary+ to gain temp root
thanks a lot dzumagos
for all the help...will try it ...
simply try to change the recovery with unrevoked , download amonra recovery and it should work
But doesnt changing the recovery with unrevoked works when u have a ROM install...
As I do not have any ROM installed can I change the Recovery.....
the thing is I rooted the phone long back and now I forgot how I did it....need to search it ...
Also when I run CWM 3.0.0.5 thru recovery it changes to 3.0 but wen i reboot the recovery again CWM 2.5 comes
y is that so ??
yes it is the way it is supposed to be
it is called 'fake-flash' which means CWM 3.0.0.5 is flashed temporairly. so it is gone after a reboot. to flash it permanently you would have to be S-OFF which you are not but that is not a problem.
anyway were you able to flash a ROM using 3.0.0.5 or does is act the same as 2.5.0.7 ???? did you try with Oxygen rom ??
