Nope, you will need a PC.

There are already multiple thread for this, but yeah you'll NEED a PC.
I thought it'd be a really cool idea to do all this without one, but realistically you'd run into some huge trouble if your device was bricked in the process of an app sending files to your /root

[Q] Root for Android 2.3.3

How long do you think it will take for a ROOT to come out for the Android 2.3.3?
Between now and the end of time.
We don't know and asking for etas won't get you anywhere.

I don't know... but glad someone finally thought to ask!
(sike!)
i am patiently waiting. I miss my old evo rooted. I was actually given a brand new evo that had 2.2 on it and the ota showed up and without thinking i updated. So mad about that.
Thanks, I'll be patient.
I understand this is hard work and you guys are doing it all for love (or for something other than money), so I'm not going to add my voice to the chorus asking when the root solution for 2.3.3 will be ready--even though I'm a-yearning and a-craving to upgrade and re-root my phone. I'll just say thanks for now to all you geniuses for making these phones so much better!
Hope it's soon because I'm ready I just got my evo 4g yesterday and tried to superoneclick root and z4root and it didn't work.. Never thought to check and see if 2.3 can root. Damn

the more people ask, the less likely it will be done!
And if you had searched, you would have seen this has already been asked!
I bet root will be available when you stop making new accounts just to make the same thread asking the same question over and over again.
If anything, the devs are probably getting tired of the obnoxious kids in the Evo forums badgering them. Instead of trying harder, I'd give up if I were in their shoes.
Believe it or not, there are worst things than not being able to root your phone.

why are you going to wait a week or so? why not just do it now?
Welcome to the E4GT and welcome to XDA...
Hopefully the reason for waiting is because you never rooted a phone before. If that is the case, as easy at it is to root this phone, reading about everything first is the way to go...
If you do not about rooting and have done it before, no need to wait. It can be done in a matter of minutes.
Wait... Whats the point of this thread again? lol.

This right here. It requires drivers for the phone to work correctly oddly enough... I'd have never guessed it beforehand myself either..

"Rocket surgery"... Lol didn't know there was such a thing haha
Since you are on EL 29 you should be able to use the exynos exploit to obtain root without a computer by using the apk in the thread below.

I have two d710 and I too would like to know if there is a way to root with out a computer. Currently one of my d710 does not charge(I have to remove battery and charge the battery separately from device, its not so bad I have multiple batteries).
I have tried different cables to no profit. I have one of my D710 rooted rocking CM11. But would love to be able to root the wife's phone to.

There's tons of threads how to root your phone, its not hard to find.... and bumping your thread every 2 hours isn't gonna get anyone to give u a handout when you could simply use your Google Fu and find your answer rather quick.

There is no temp root you just need to root :-| you have to use htcdev to unlock the bootloader and then fastboot flash a recovery and then flash superuser and its binary files and if you Googled or even looked around in general and q&a you would know how to do this because its been asked and answered at least 2 dozen times since the OTA was pushed

I know but my warranty... My dad won't lemme root it but I've had alot done with root... EVO 3D... Evo... Samsung... Ya know just want a temp-root... I Create apps so I use that in root too... But thanks

Easier to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission ;-) Besides, as long as the sprint worker doesn't know how to check your root, you're fine. Find someone stupid.
I've never used an s-on tool to remove my root but i'm sure you could manage getting your phone back to normal. if you ever need to use your warranty. And your Dad will never have to know.

TacoRoot can temp root your device, but you can't really use your device while it's rooted (it makes it unstable). But feel free to try it, if you'd like.
Ok thanks

Damn man!! Look harder and you will find it. Hell Google search will give you several results. If you can't do either of those just Google kingo root it does work for 4.3. Next time look before posting. There must be a dozen stupid post just like this already in general and q&a.

Use a program (for Windows) called Kingoroot.
First turn USB debugging on in developer settings, then go to your homescreen.
Start the mrogram, wait until it says that your device is connected and press then the root button.
You should be rooted + the KNOX counter stays 0.

Yall about some retarded fools. While I did give him a hard time for be a lazy person I did also state that kingo root is what he needs. So kiss my fat hairy arse.
I mean heck if you cant read a few of the threads you should just get yourself an iPhone like the rest of the idiots.
Talking about idiots. Why aren't the mods stepping up? Since 4.3 has been out there must be 2 dozen of these exact same threads. While I understand people might need help but all these repeates just keep the real questions from getting answered.
