Use unrevoked forever then go to hboot.. phone off power + volume down button till hboot is up. Check on top left to see s-on or s-off. Itlf it says s-off you are good to go and nand unlocked..

Look im not trying to be mean but searching is usually your best bet. I am willing to bet your answer can be found in the first 4 pages of this forum. Try searching ENG Bootloader .

I believe the unrevoked forever does that for you but you have to select it.
from www.unrevoked.com
unrevoked forever is a tool to set your Android phone's security level to S-OFF. The security level is a flag stored on the radio; when the flag is S-OFF, the bootloader (HBOOT) will no longer check the signatures of firmware images before flashing them. This allows custom firmware images to be uploaded, including unsigned boot, recovery, splash1, and hboot images (as well as official images that have been modified). When the system is S-OFF, the NAND flash memory protection is also reduced; this allows all partitions (including /system) to be written to while the operating system is booted.

Great response REM

What are you trying to do, could you be more specific? Unrevoked gives you unlocked nand, so i'm not sure what problem your running into?

I used unrevoked..tried to install cyanogen n I get a error message
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

are you sure unrevoked worked, sometimes you have to do it a couple times....do you have superuser permissions? I would make sure unrevoked is correctly installed...also redownload your rom and make sure the download is completed successfully, i never dl to phone, always to pc...

I have superuser..I used unrevoked
should I use unrevoked forever

Boot the phone into bootloader and you should see S-ON or S-OFF. If you see S-OFF you have nand unlocked.

Yes, that is what I said earlier a couple posts up.

Ya can't flash cm6 directly from unrevoked you need eng boot and amon recovery to flash it. You are most likely nand unlocked but trying to flash through clockwork. Easy fix is download Rom manager from marketplace then choose change recovery or whatever it says. I haven't looked at it for aong time then choose amon ra recovery. Then do another nand backup because clockwork and amon don't really work together. Then you should be able to flash cm6 no problem. Though having already done this I would personally suggest vaelpak over cm6 its almost all aosp and everything on your phone will still be functional. Plus its just as snappy as cm6 and I seem to get a far greater battery life with it.

If you want to be able to install CM6 you need the ENG Bootloader.

[Q} Bootloader

What is the stock bootloader version for non rooted Evos? I need to take mine in and I got S-On but it won't let me flash the PC36img and it is stuck in a bootloop now.

2.15 I believe
And I believe s off is needed if you wish to flash.

It is fine to take in with 2.10 Hboot as long as you are running Froyo - just use an RUU PC36IMG file with 2.10 Hboot and you will be fine.

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

I probably should have taken it out. I didn't have any file explorers installed so I figured he wouldn't be able to

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

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.

I used Revolutionary to download root. Would that be Gingerbread?

I'm 3 days new to rooting. Any help and advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes that's gingerbread. Go to settings applications and make sure fastboot is NOT checked then power off the phone then hold the power button and volume down at the same time and post everything you see

I checked for the fastboot status under settings applications but did not see the option.

So you completed the entire revolutionary process but it never gave you s-off but do you have revolutionary on the top of your bootloader?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I did complete the revolutionary process and it was on S-Off when finished but somehow I did something to turn it back on. Will I need to reinstall the program.. is there a quicker way of turning it back off?
BTW, looks like you have your Evo really set up! Any chance you can send me some links to set up mine? I'm running on Cyanogenmod 7 and I'm not completely happy with it.

Hey evo4gnoob, sorry about the delayed response friend. If you could still help me I'd appreciate it.
If I could recall this right, here's what happened: I was able to successfully root my evo4G through Revolutionary. I then tried installing the Cyanogenmod7 rom and ended up with a bootloop problem. I then flashed the Evo4G RUU to return it to manufacture settings. That process fixed the bootloop and installed Cyanogenmod7. I'm pretty sure that was what S-ONed the phone.
