If your not rooted accept the OTA ONLY IF ITS 4.24 OTA OR 4.54. Then nand unlock with revolutionary

2.10 is a froyo bootloader

Yeah that's what I thought, OP no need to upgrade. Just use unrevoked forever method.

quick NAND unlock question

I rooted 2.2 froyo, and used unrevoked forever. S is unlocked but I am unable to install any cm6 roms. Does this mean nand is still locked on my phone? And if so what do I do to unlock it as I am wery about repeating the wrong steps. Thanks

You are going to have to install the eng-bootloader in order to use the cm6 ROMs.
If you have not flashed any ROMs on your phone you should be at 2.1
Now you need to follow the rest of the instructions and install the eng-bootloader from the pc36img.zip

I have installed other roms currently running the latest fresh rom
I never updated my bootloader when I rooted my 2.2 froyo.. I have cm6. Maybe I lucked out.

I'm rooted and I have that exact version. I used unrevoked 3 to root my EVO.

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

Where do u get unrevoked 3 at? Do i get that from the market and will it brick my phone? Can i use any rin with it?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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 unrevokied 3 is now out of date, thanks to htc's latest security update.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
So u cant use unrevoked 3? I do not have a mac i have a pc. I really want root mine. Im coming from the hero

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 As for it being outdated as stated by someone else, I'm unaware of it.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.

Man i dont think i can root it via ADB. never done it before. There is no one click root method?

i am trying to work out the bugs in a 3-command method... adb is not that hard to setup and use.
If u can do that 3 way command that would be easier.

[ROM]Glacier_Gingerbread_S_TMOUS_2.19.531.1_Radio_12.58 .60.25_26.11.04.03_M_release

Here TMOUS Glacier Gingerbread ROM
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cc6...60.25_26.11.04.03_M_release_200756_signed.zip
Enjoy!
seems like this wouldn't be safe to flash since i'd bet you would loose root. but looks like a new radio as well? any insight?
DO NOT FLASH!!!
until this has been tested by a dev. There is a good(99.9%) chance that you will lose root with this.

WHAT IS SO Different IN THIS ONE for the old one
A new tmo radio would be great if it boosts their crappy signal
i am going to give it a try to compile...we will see how successful i am (i am a newbie dev)
Is this ROM has ROOT access???
unfortunatly i cant get the system to extract properly....guess it might be time for a more seasoned dev to take a shot at it
edit: nevermind...got it
Thanks Football
any screenies for this?

4.24.651.1 root?

So I have already heard that you do not want to do the ota update because it has not been unlocked. I'm not sure which version it is but my phone came with 2.2.3, 4.24.651.1. Which version is safe to attempt root?
Sent from my Supersonic using XDA Premium App
You cannot root if you have 2.3.3 with s-on.
(To check if you have s-on or s-off you go to your bootloader and look next to the radio version)
Being has your preloaded with 2.3.3 you're probably s-on and out of luck.
With all due respect, search button is your friend.
Only 2.2...so you can't root.

So I just got a new EVO 4G LTE and am going to sell my EVO 4G to a friend, will this work to restore it to stock unrooted?

Yes. It will also replace recovery to stock. The bootloader will still be unlock, unless it is upgraded. If it is on the latest boot loader then it will remain unlock.
