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. Root evo 4g 2.3.5 ...oh wow look the answer but let me make a thread wait 2 hours and bump it instead of taking 2 mins to use Google

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

Like he said, no temp root. Go all in and make the plunge, its well worth it.
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

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.

Dude, if it existed there wouldn't be new threads asking. The Unrevoked team would be the ones coming out with it, assuming they will root the Inc 2.3.
Bottom line, the OTA has been taken, root added, and flashable zip has been made in the Development forums. It's the same exact thing, so if you're unrooted and S-ON you're out of luck. Period. No flashing back, no flashing recovery, no root as of now. You're stuck on stock 2.3.

I'm sure they're already aware of GB being out, its just up to them if they want to try to get root access.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running some random CM7 nightly.
Correct, they are under no obligation to provide root access, it is merely up to them if they want to pursue it. I know that they've teamed up with AlphaRev to work on root and S-OFF for the newer phones coming out.
I don't know what to tell you as far as contacting them. They do have a website, so try that. Otherwise, anyone who accepted the 2.3 OTA with S-ON is out of luck.

I hope not. One would think that if he rooted, he would know about Unrevoked. Chances are, if he could root, he'd be here then asking if his phone's bricked.
MODS, this thread should be closed in my opinion.

I completely agree and also with Loonatik. If this guy doesn't have a language barrier then he is a complete idiot. And his tone from all his post make him sound very impatient kind of as if here were doing us a favor.
If I've helped you, hit the thanks button!
I don't see it happening...it would involve the unrevoked crew to have an s-on unrooted incredible with
GB and unless someone donated,pulled some insurance trick(no bueno) or there was a dev out there with said inc(chances are most if not all don't or don't care) the chances are slim to none
The reason that i ask this question is that i bought my mother a droid incredible 2 as she needed a solid phone to use for her business and something for her emails, easy web access, amongst many other things business oriented that her LG flip phone couldnt do. The issue is i dont live anwhere near her so i cant do the only root methof that we currently have, bc im not there, and it would be overly dificult to remote in and explain to her and all that. My question is, is there going to be something as easy as unrevoked or revolutionary that will come out for this update? THat i can explain over the phone, not a problem. Dont flame me for asking, if you look at my stats ive been here for some time and dont need someone telling me to wait if im a noob, im not, i just dont have easy access to the phone. also, is there any easy way to to tether? without root? like changing something in the service menu? that is a fool proof tested way to work? sorry for all the questions, ive stopped coming here for a while bc f some dooche in the fascinate forums, that ended up in the thunderbolt forums, that then ended up in the bionic forums and i just got tired of him. Good to be back all, thanks in advance for any help

"Any progress on 2.3.4 Root update? Besides Clip?"
I've read through the forums and the answer seems to be, "Yes, you can now obtain root without the clip. But only if you're competent in Swahili, like everyone ought to be. Otherwise, you don't have any business asking questions about how to do it."

I'm new to all this I paid a guy to root my phone. He seems to have done it right it's sff, and I have superuser, and opengarden wifi tether. Most rooted apps require busybox, do I need it? And if so how do I get it?
Please help and thanks again!

to get busybox, use busybox installer from the android market
Thank you I didn't think it was that simple.

Do I have to open it it's not in my app drawer?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yes. It should be in your app drawer. On your phone open the market and search for the app again. Check to see if it is installed. If it is installed, you should be given the option to either open the app or uninstall it. In that case select open.

I downloaded tha installer it opened told me to choose my version chose v1.9 it said succesfully download but busybox itself is not in the drawer just the installer
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
oh then in that case, you are done. busybox installer is the app that you will see in the app drawer. busybox itself is a file (so it will not be in the app drawer).
in case you were wondering where it is located, it is located in either /system/bin or /system/xbin, depending on where you installed it (which can be found when you open up the busybox installer app)
Ok another question my evo is rooted but I have no custom rom or kernal is it juss me or does rooting alone basically kill battery life?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
rooting only gives you superuser and so should not affect battery life at all

Suggestion: save your money. It's not hard to do at all, just scary the first time. And you don't want to have to pay someone every time you want a new rom, need to update, need to unroot, have a problem, etc.
If you need help, send me a pm and I'll link you to some good resources and help you if you have any problems. And it won't cost you a dime. You root your phone to gain control over it, not to lose control and money.
There's a plethora of information and folks willing to help on this forum. Use the resources that are available for free and earn a hobby that you can be involved in, the outcome will be much better than paying this guy to do everything for you.

If you don't mind throwing away $35 then throw it to someone worth throwing it to.....like donating to developers. There are a ton of step by step instructions on how to flash custom roms to your phone. And 99% of these guides are designed specifically for noobs and first time rooters. Look at the stickies here in the Q&A section. They are packed full of information to know before you root as well as clear and noobproof step by step instructions. You can even find videos on youtube. Rooting and flashing custom roms the first time are always nerve racking because you are full of fear that you'll be "that guy" that bricks his phone. But once you've done the whole process from start to finish the first time you realize just how easy it is and then you laugh at yourself for being so worried in the first place. Save your money. Put it toward gas, beer, or donating to developers. There are plenty of people on here willing to do something like a video chat to walk you through it step by step for free.
You can not brick your phone by flashing ROMs.
The only way to brick thr EVO is by doing a battery pull while updating radios. That is it!
Read sticky's on these pages, pick a rom to try, download it to the main directory of your phone, reboot into recovery. Nand backup your phone, then flash the zip file you downloaded, enjoy! All free.
Donate to the Dev that created the Rom you like as they are the ones that make rooting fun and keep new ones coming.
Everyone on this site, started out just like you, only most did not pay to have a phone rooted.

Easiest way is changing the build prop. You need root explorer for that. Why not just root?

Lol that's funny. But maybe you can root and hide the super user app. There is no way of doing it without root as the two files need to be flashed through custom recovery and editing the build file needs to be edited at root level

That thread contains the official firmwares pre-rooted that are flashable using odin. Just follow the instructions.
IMO, tell her it's rooted and explain to her what that means. It would kind of suck if she did run into issues and found out and got mad / screwed something up because she didn't know what it meant / freaked out / created an actual security issue due to lack of information / et cetera.
