Hey guys, been looking and tinkering all day with this. Just got a new Evo 4G that came with Gingerbread on it. rEVOked doesn't work on it to root it and I cannot seem to roll it back with an RUU.
Phone Stats:
Android 2.3.3
Baseband 2.15.00.05.02
Build 4.24.651.1 CL61076
Software 4.24.651.1
Any idea what I need to do to root it? Even if I could find a shell process to root and load Clockwork I'd be happy.
Thanks in advance for any help you guys might have for me.
Should have done a search, everyone is going to give you crap for this but, no root for now

Thanks for that I did search, I've been searching on here, androidcentral, cyanogenmod, xda, google, rEVOked, etc. I have seen some people be able to roll back the RUU but I've had no luck, that's why I posted the question. I understand the search functions on forums, but haven't found a definitive answer. Apparently though, there is no root for devices with 2.3.3? or just the Evo?
The lucky ones that were able to downgrade with an older ruu already have s off. But I know its not just EVO 4G its other devices as well. The sensation just recently hot s off if I'm not mistaken.

The 2nd poster is right, I'm gonna give you crap, because this is beyond annoying. There are THOUSANDS of posts now, including plenty of threads on the front page of each section that say that there is NO ROOT!!!!!!
I know you 'claim' to have done a search, but there is no WAY you would have posted this if you did, because you would KNOW that it cannot be rooted. This reminds me of the guy that lied to Chef Ramsey on Hell's Kitchen last night....
Either you are too lazy to do a quick search or glance, even on Google, or two naive, so turn in your internet privileges card. It's been revoked....

Really annoying? **** off and learn to spell. I love how you have this big bad persona on the internet to where you want to tell me how annoying I am and claim that I am a liar. If it annoys you, don't ****ing reply, jackass. Forums are areas for discussion, by definition. How about the next reply, you try to help instead of berating someone... or are you 'two naive'?
But in all honesty if you would look at the evo forum you would easily see that there is NO ROOT!

You guys are totally right. I'm just some idiot that doesn't deserve to be on here. Even after the hours of my attempts and searching and trying today and then posting a question after everything I've done didn't work... despite seeing some people able to roll back the RUU and then root it. I have no idea why I even attempt to get help. There is always someone who wants to jump in someone's **** for asking a question. I wouldn't have asked if I knew definitively that there was no way to do it. I figured I was in the right area to ask if anyone knew any tricks for this, but apparently I was wrong to ask a question at all.
Thanks for all the 'search for it' replies...oh, and calling me a liar and whatever else will happen itt besides answering a question like an adult.
Dude don't worry about this crap all locked EVO users are pissed right now, including myself lol, check this forum out...

You asked a question that has been asked and answered 100's of times on here. If you truly did a search, which I do NOT believe you did, you would have seen it said, over and over and over and over again that there is no way to root your phone with the version of Android you have. There is no mistaking it, no gray area, no maybes. It's been definitely posted in onther posts RIGHT ON THE FRONT PAGE, there is no root.
typical reaction from someone who just got called out and exposed....
"Hours" of searching, huh? You seriously deserve the crap you've taken. There are even countless posts about attempts to downgrade the RUU. I suggest you actually search next time, instead of lying about it.

just to test a theory i pretended i was newbie coming here to find 2.3.3 root
so i typed "2.3.3 root" on the search box...
that turned about 10 threads in wich any i could easily see that there is still no exploit / root for 2.3.3
now , notice i am not being an ass about it, but its as simple as that bro, if you dont want to put in a wee bit of effort on finding the answers , dont expect people to put in effort to try to answer them either, that is being selfish
but i hope your question is now answered, trust me , you WILL see stickies , you WILL know when root is achieved if you just chek in these forums every couple of days, but for now, dont be suprised if people get mad at you for wasting their time answering stuff that has already been answered a thousand times for the last month
Just gotta say there is a new thread like this every stinking day, sometimes 2 or 3. Any research or just plain looking thru a few threads would have answered your questions.

If you really searched, you should be ashamed of yourself. Its pretty embarrassing when I count 5 threads in the first 2 pages on this very matter that you some how missed. No excuses. Do a better job next time and you will receive hospitality instead of hostility.
To answer your question. No root for 2.3.

How do i give you a thumbs up. Sooooo perfectly said.
Edit* Thumbs up found. Dude deserves to be burned. I know he didnt do the look up because google will tell you in two seconds that there is no root.
Can an application I have purchased and downloaded for my SGII work in other phone or device? or do I have to buy it again to install it on the other device?
Thanks all; Just wondering and learning
If the app was purchased on Android Market you should have no problem redownloading it onto any future phone you buy and enter the same google account at initial setup that you used to purchase the app.
Do not post in the development section.

Yes all of the apps I have which have the paid versions are from Android Market; it happens i got also Mytouch 4G and thinking in getting a galaxy tablet besides my SGII phone and wondered if i rooted these devices if i would have to paid for the same apps to run on all three different devices or just downloaded individually to each and fire them away as i use one or other device.

Not to be a jerk-face... but stop making excuses. If you break a law , do you avoid any sort of punishment just because you are new?
Ignorance isn't a good excuse. Just apologize and do the right thing and start a thread in the appropriate place.
It's ridiculous the amount of people just tossing things out without taking a moment to stop and see what the deal is. Being new doesn't give you the right to just do what you want. If you are new, you should be even more careful... no? That's how people brick their phone--they don't take the time to read things carefully and that's what gets them in trouble.

This happened a lot in the 4G forum. I stop being a "jerk-face" and just send the link of the thread to one of the mods and it is usually moved within that day. Helps prevent them from double posting in multiple threads.

I know it can be frustrating at times especially when you need an answer asap.. but there may be a few reasons why no one answers your question
-its been asked way too many times (search for it)
-no one understands your question or knows the answer
-the evo 4g isn't neccesarily "new" therefore there's less traffic in this forum
-People work have other things to deal with and it may be a while (sometimes a long while) before you get an answer.

Basically covered all the reasons why not to reply.
And when your question is about MetroPCS (I checked), you're less likely to get replies because the vast majority of members here use Sprint.
If there's a specific site for phones flashed to other networks, you'd be better asking there. People can't answer what they don't know.

Don't know your question but if it pertains to flashing to other networks maybe try Howardforums

Not going to beat a dead horse here but another tip here that you didn't hear from me is the bump. You posted that question 5 days ago and I assume was 3-5 pages back by now. I usually give my post a day then go back in and post the "anyone figure this out yet?" bump. Usually it will get a response. Like they already said, this forum is over a year old. Most have moved on and the ones that are here with the answers usually only bounce in and out of their own Rom threads.
teh roxxors is one of the RARE people that come slumming back to us from the 3d world to help out lol.

Lol the whole reason I posted this was to see what replies this would get or should I say an answer. The question wasn't really that common I posted I searched everywhere I got an answer right away elsewhere so it couldn't have been the long while issue. No big deal just seems kinda useless to have to post in q and a at first. Give me the secret society/Howard forums feel.

I'm sure there is plenty of experience on this forum.

Experienced users do post in the Q & A section. And to make a thread just to see if it gets attention seems like a trap / childish [to me] , just like a person would pretend to have a fake bf/gf to see if the other gets jealous. Though regardless, experienced user do post here, I've seen it quite frequently. IF there were some question that wasn't answered and someone knows someone who can help, 9/10 that personal would say, "I don't know how to help,but if you look up _______ they can help you."
Also, the only place you can't post til abot 20 posts or so, if the development section. That's only because a lot of new users post Q & A questions there, clogging up that board, when they belong here. You can still read and download rom, just can't post there til ~20 posts, when you are more 'educated' on the forum. No bad mouthing, just saying.
I totally understand cause yea you do see it all the time where at the end of a guide full of roms. Someone asks what's a good rom or where do I find it. We should be able to take a test on experience to bypass the 20 post thing. My frustration came from knowing my answered would of lyed on this forum but no one even viewed it for days. I'm over that's what I get for getting a device that's over a year old. But hey its a big step up from my old one.

Well a lot of people still have the evo. And you can always try the bump, or if you see someone active on the forum, shoot them a pm; they'll most likely help you.
Maybe ill make my 20 posts of this thread. Jk I shouldn't really need much help on this device now that o know my data stays even when I flash roms that was my main concern.

Am I missing something? ;-)

This phone is still relatively new.
Gotta give it time.
More support couldn't hurt though.
But yeah give it time.
Yeah, Like he said. Give it more time. If you don't wanna wait hop on the galaxy nexus bro. More deb's over there. I just really hope when G4x is out there is a lot more dev on that device.

lol so true.
I have my share of trolling people for posting repetitive questions and in the wrong section, but sometimes people really don't know what to do or where to go. Each device's subforum are setup differently. Usually these threads should be replied once or twice at most and the thread can be moved or die out. However, we're in no position to talk down on anyone. We're all people behind these words. It can be a kid, an adult, someone's grandparents, who knows. But condescending words can totally ruin someone's mood and day and that will be reflected upon.
Wow.

Sometimes people dont know where to go or what to do, really? Yea I'm not not gonna lie I was bit of an asshole, but im sure if he made to the GS2 forums that he passed the Q&A section on the way in. And I also understand that he wonders why there aren't any MIUI ROMS, but come on. How would it seem for me to go into the SGS3 forum and be like "Where are all ROMS? I had a SGS2 and there alot of roms, (insert name) has alot of great ROMS for the SGS2. Am I missing something?"
I do apologize for being such an ass, but if you dont understand what I'm tryin to say then all hope is lost.

Ok yea....sorry again just tired or reading post that people started and its a stupid question that with the tiniest amount of common sense could have been answered by the OP

Why do you hate that guy? You don't even know him. I agree with what he is trying to say, just not the manner in which it was stated. The op has obviously been around xda long enough to know about miui, he should know where questions belong. There is a reason there are different sub boards. There is no sense in filling the development section with ridiculous questions. A little research goes a long way. If he wanted a miui rom he should of checked the dev board before purchasing the device. Since he didn't, he should have read a little and would have noticed that cm and miui is lacking on our device...

Agree with jdubb a 100 pct. Phones like the hd2 have been out for a long time and we all know of about its huge dev support. Our phones are relatively new and people just gotta be patient. Straight up. If not, sell your phone and go get a Galaxy Nexus.

Reported - wrong forum.....bunched panties.
The op might have posted in the wrong section but the post is helpful in reminding DEV's that there is still interest in the ROM. From what I was reading on XDA and other sites was that MIUI for the TMO SGS2 should have come out around Xmas.
The delay as I understand it is due to lack of Cyanogen support, which is another ROM most of us are waiting to try and as far as I know the development of that has been halted until V9 is available.
Yes, I donate!

Sometimes people dont know where to go or what to do, really? Yea I'm not not gonna lie I was bit of an asshole, but im sure if he made to the GS2 forums that he passed the Q&A section on the way in. And I also understand that he wonders why there aren't any MIUI ROMS, but come on. How would it seem for me to go into the SGS3 forum and be like "Where are all ROMS? I had a SGS2 and there alot of roms, (insert name) has alot of great ROMS for the SGS2. Am I missing something?"
I do apologize for being such an ass, but if you dont understand what I'm tryin to say then all hope is lost.

Lol i wasn't talking about the op, he obviously deserved to be flamed, but im speaking of a general n00b. There is no need to be an ass, but i agree with the point you're getting across.

I agree with mainmast on this one, and I think he answered the question and the root cause of the problem quite succinctly. If his was the first response to the OP, we probably wouldn't be having this discussion. This type of quick question in the dev forum can indicate a certain level of interest in the port. I come here looking for ROMs, and I have a specific interest in MIUI, as I love to use that on my Nexus One. Admittedly, I don't frequent the Q&A section as much as this forum, but I still want to know about the progress on a MIUI rom.
Not to add to an out of place post, but we can agree that the post from our military friend (thanks for your service, btw) was pretty strongly worded. Subsequently, the additional comments (including mine) have just added to the legitimacy of this question... we're all invested enough in the question or the forum to respond.
There is interest in an MIUI ROM???

Well I just joined and can not contribute to any of the conversations I would like to contribute to because I do not have 10 posts yet so I guess you can count me as unsatisfied at the moment.. I can't even comment on stuff in the marketplace? So I'm forced to contribute BS to conversations I don't care about to get 10 posts so I can join the discussions I want to join. There seems like there has to be a better way.

Give it time and you'll be able to contribute knowledge that the devs don't get to. While they're making sweet roms for us to use the rest of is are here to help others get to know how they work and contribute fixes for people who get unlucky and brick there phones. It took me a couple of weeks to get enough understanding to be able to help and soon enough you'll be there as well.

Would have to agree with you kentu3. MOst of the questions have already been answered if you search.
Another thing that I do before posting a question about ROM "xyz" is to read the whole thread on that rom. You would be or not be suprised as to how many times the same question gets asked.
Thanks again kentu3 for this thread, and a big thanks to the DEV's and MOD's who make this site worth visiting
Hi! New here. I for one like the 10 post rule because it helps keeping it clean and when you surpass the limit you have proven yourself worthy.
Coming from a wide range of other communities, also as admin or moderator, I instantly knew XDA's rule was brilliant. Looking forward to contributing in any way I can.
Now I'm gonna try and find out how to find this Thanks-button in XDA app

It is quite an ad-heavy site unless you use a blocker of some description. There's also a mammoth amount of content. I've seen a lot of people mention load times as a downfall, but to be honest I don't notice it taking any longer than some of the other tech sites I frequent
Load times are such a subjective thing though, everyone will differ. What browser do you use? Firefox seems to pop up a lot re: slow load times.
Well I typically do most of my surfing at work, which I use IE right now. Don't have much of a choice. I downloaded Firefox a while back but it never worked right. Not sure if it's because of the firewall or whatever here, (I have no idea how that all works) but Firefox was terrible. I tried to get Chrome but it's blocked too.
The slowness to me isn't really a huge deal, just curious why as other forums I frequent load pretty fast. But the more I surf around here, there is a TON of info.

I use IE (6) at work too Ed, and it's noticeably (horribly) slower than Chrome at home. Likewise, all other options are restriced here for me.
For personal use at home, the latest Chrome with Ad Blocker Pro (free) works extremely well at speeding up the genera;l browsing experience here at XDA. It is a resource-heavy forum so it still takes a little longer to load, but that's the price I pay for the wealth of information here, to me personally anyway
Could be worse, I was on 56k at home until last year when they upgraded our RIM (out in woop-woop)
