Use this recovery instead of ClockworkMod (CWM):

Once you're rooted, make a Nandroid backup through recovery, so you'll have something to fall back on in case you get in a tight spot flashing ROM's later.

Hi:
I am having a bit of a problem trying to root my new HTC evo.
My hardware info is:
Hardware Version: 0004
Baseband version: 2.15.00.09.01
Software #: 3.30.651.3
Everytime I try to root it. It tells me something that it couldn't update because the version I had on my phone was older version. I think that's what it said.
is there any way to root my phone?
Please let me know.
Thanks!
i am having the same problem...
nothing i have tried has worked at all so far
find 2.2 s-off thread in this section and follow steps closely. if you still are unsuccessful post in THAT thread.
ps this thread should not be in the development section, read the rules
Thread moved to Q&A.
i cannot find the thread your talking about...
its because the software on your phone is prolly 3.30 like mine since they are new or have been updated
find unrevoked on twitter and you can fallow them
there last post was
3.30 Evo folks -- XDA has a solution for you in the interim; we'll package it up nice and clean when we get a break from work & school.

I looked through that. People are saying it works and it doesn't. I have 2 Evo's one is rooted, and the other one I bought last night for a friend and he won't root. Is there any way to do it for his evo? Said Main folder is older or something.

I'm sorry if I'm going off topic here but you got your stock phone with 3.30? I thought that was the unofficial leaked update.
Not sure I bought it off craigslist brand new. Is that why the root isn't working? is there a way to bring it down an update?
Thanks for all the help!

Not quite sure. Which HBOOT version is the 3.30 phone?
Im going to look at page 120. from page 120 and after everyone seems to say it worked. how do I find out the Hboot Vers?

Turn off your phone. Hold VOL DOWN + POWER till you load into Bootloader. It should be listed at the top on the second line.
but I have 3.30 and 0004 will it still work?
tigercranestyle said:
not sure what you mean by "unofficial leaked version". page 120 in that link referenced is a simplified way performing the original instructions in that thread. my stock evo indeed was 3.30 and 003. instructions were very easy to follow.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Many people are still stuck on 3.29 with no OTA coming out for 3.30. While some people are saying they have 3.30 stock from Sprint so some people aren't sure whether its official or unofficial.
There is a 3.30 ROM that was leaked from a source to XDA forums a week or so ago. Hence why I said it was unofficial.
3.3 is official...unless the guys at the sprint store are playing jokes on me. I traded in my evo today and received a "fresh" (non-refurb) one that is hardware version 4 and 3.3 software. I am having a WONDERFUL time rooting right now...gonna try the hboot202soff thingy here when it downloads...unrevoked was no dice!

like dude said earlier what hboot do you have? Hold VOL DOWN + POWER till you load into Bootloader if you dont have 2.02 then you can use unrevoked one click root if u have hboot .97 or below. And there are a hundred threads about this
Sorry guys I know I am a pain. I clicked that link and went to page 120. AND everything worked perfectly. thaks for all your help guys!!
I love xda..so great. thanks again!

You shouldn't need to downgrade. Just follow the threads in the dev section on how to root your device.

Use The Advanced Ace Hack Kit. Very simple to use if you read the Effen Manual
How to Root HTC Desire HD
thanks but does this work for 2.3.5 ?

Did you even read the Addvanced Ace Hack Kit thread? About 20 lines down in huge red letters it states this:
•Sense 3, including those with RELOCKED HTC BOOTLOADERS (NOTE: NOT UNLOCKED - MUST BE LOCKED OR RELOCKED) is auto-detected in hack step. Option is given to download a GB RUU and downgrade or abort. This WILL wipe data.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sense 3 is the 2.3.5 ROM. So yes it will work but it has to downgrade the ROM and it gives you the option to do so.
The Hack Kit works for all version of sense. Don't follow tutorials, just read the OP thread, the effen manual and follow instructions. It you do so, will work as a charm.

No, that video is missing a lot of information. Do as glevatin advised and read the kit, if not chances are you'll post again saying your phone is "messed" up

Where is 2.3.2? I m having trouble rooting with 2.3.3
some people said it has to do with security issue?
Anyone has a back up of 2.3.2 so I can try?
On the 2.3.3 I'm stuck on step 7...
I can look on my laptop when I get back to it tonight. It might be 2.3.2.
If you can't get superoneclick to work at all try DoomLord. I got impatient and rooted with DoomLord. It worked on the first try.
Sent from my LG-P930 using xda app-developers app
so instead of typing that into google or bing, finding several 2.3.2 sites to choose to download it from, doing that and getting on, you choose to start a thread and expect someone to upload a copy and you'll just wait for them to take care of it for you.
got it.

Well what version is your phones software? If its v10J I've read its unrootable and so I used the ubricking guide sticky at the top to downgrade my phone to the Korean rom and get root and ADB'd back to stock ATT 2.3.5. But to answer your question you can get Superoneclick 2.3.2 from - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597488 the nitro unbrick guide sticky its in post #1 try mirror 2 it worked for me.
dude? I actually searched several different websites. The official download from the website leads to some random weird website. Found one on 4shared but the link isn't working, another one on 4shared and it's dead. I also went to a website under a user signature which lead to a german forum, link also dead...

You don't need it. In other words its not needed to root. Besides it only worked on ATT's v10f Gingerbread dated Nov 2011. Any newer version, doesn't work.
