Well here's the thing im running 2.2 already because I recently bought my evo ......wen I tried the guide on here it says tht adb doesn't exist and I don't have adb drivers on my evo

The Q&A Forum is more suited for this.

Thread moved to Q&A.

How about you give us some details about your phone and what you have tried? What software version are you running? Clearly you haven't tried every method because the Evo is rootable.

Unrevoked 3 will work I used it day before yesterday its really easy

you have to get the right drivers for adb to wrk also u need to install htc sync then uninstall it after that follow directions on post on how to root

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 unrevokied 3 is now out of date, thanks to htc's latest security update.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 As for it being outdated as stated by someone else, I'm unaware of it.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?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

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.

I know its not that hard to use but typing all the commands is what ****s me over

Questions about unrEVOked???

Can I unroot it if I root it??

Yes, search & Google are your friend
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yea..you flash the S-ON tool, then run an RUU.

OK if I ask a question in the Q&A I think should get a answer not telling me to go to Google I don't think that the question I ask

S-ON tool. Flash BEFORE you run the RUU.

Download the 3.70 RUU
And they will say use google, cuz it will turn up the answers.

That only happens if you use that z4root thing, which gives you a temporary root, and lost upon rebooting.

No problem man.

Hey I used the Z4root on the evo but it doesn't work
Sent from my HTC EVO using XDA App

If it didn't work, I personally can't advise you because I've never used it. I think it more beneficial to go for the solid root. Unrooting for whatever reason is easy to do.

OK if I root my phone with with unrEVOked and Its update come out will I have to unroot my phone or can i just update it like regular and it will just unroot the phone??
Sent from my HTC EVO using XDA App

If you root your phone with unrevoked, you'll be fine. You don't have to re-run it when a new version of unrevoked comes out. If there is an update for your rom, you just flash it in recovery.

Htc sync

Sorry for the intrusion..my friend has a desire and lives 3 1/2 hrs from me..im trying to walk him thru the root process..we installed hboot drivers..and now stuck..he cannot figure out were htc sync is located to uninstall to run unrevoked3..i told him its in his add/removed programs on his pc..he said its not there..tried running unrevoked and it says make sure ur htc sync is uninstalled...need help..and ive read and searched how he can uninstall this in the root threads here and cant find an answer..plz help..using windows pc.

Maybe he didnt even have it installed? Go to HTC site and download HTC sync, install it then uninstall it

Unrooted, returned to stock, to it to Sprint and they say I have basic root???

My phone wouldn't charge the last couple days so I Unrooted and returned to stock, s-on. I used a PC36IMG to return to stock. I took the phone to Sprint and somehow it started working again. They said it wasn't the charging port and it wasn't the charger or battery. I also have 2 different chargers and 2 different batteries of my own I tried. Anyways they gave me the phone back and told me to give it a couple days to see if I have any more problems, he didn't do anything but it started charging again somehow. Anyways before I left he said it is rooted still, even though I thought I Unrooted, s-on and return to stock. Superuser is not installed. How can this be possible???
PS I rooted with revolutionary

That guy was way off unless he looked at your sd card no way he could tell it was rooted
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I probably should have taken it out. I didn't have any file explorers installed so I figured he wouldn't be able to
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Which HBOOT do you have? If it were the Revolutionary one it may have tipped him off. Also check your SD card. I've seen them go to Market and look at purchased apps and see if root apps were bought, so don't sync with Google. Run an RUU for good measure, take put the SD card and go back
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

He also said to bring it back if it has any problems. I didn't think he would say that if he thinks it's rooted. Thanks man.

I would just let them know that any root apps that are synced to my Google account are for a tablet at home, an older phone, or some other BS.
To my understanding; if you take the stuff off your SD card, running Stock and have S-ON, there's really no way they could prove that you were rooted.
It's all about covering your tracks.

The 6.17 hboot is what tipped him off. Stock hboot only goes up to 2.16, Revolutionary gives you a s-off'ed 6.16 hboot. Getting s-on with Revolutionary involves flashing the 6.17 hboot (which isn't stock) which is s-on. If you run the RUU for the latest update, you should get the 2.16 hboot back. You'll need it to re-run Revolutionary.
