Dude...coming on here and asking the most vague question in the world will get you nowhere and will get you flamed. You cannot expect anybody from this forum to be able to answer your question without way more information that:
I want to root my EVO
You sir, need to do a little searching in the forums as this has been answered a thousand times.

Well not a dude.....

Here is the linked to the Unrevoked Forever wiki:
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever
Look at this section in particular:
Since you have already installed the OTA update, start at step 4.
Reinstalling an official recovery
If you wish to install a stock over-the-air update in the future (OTA), the safest way to do so is to install the recovery that originally shipped with your phone. To install an OTA:
Install unrevoked forever on your phone.
Download or create an appropriate PB31IMG.ZIP, PC36IMG.ZIP or HERCIMG.zip for your phone that contains the original recovery image.
We do not supply these images; since the recovery code is owned by HTC, we don't distribute it. You may be able to find these images on the XDA-Developers forums.
From the phone operating system, install the over-the-air update.
When the update is done installing, you will probably want to root it with a custom recovery. Download one of the following recovery restore images:
Amon-Ra recovery for EVO 4G
ClockworkMod recovery for EVO 4G
ClockworkMod recovery for Incredible
Amon-Ra recovery for CDMA Hero
Place the appropriate file – with that exact file name! – on the root of your SD card.
Reboot your device into HBOOT by removing the battery, pressing VOLUME DOWN, inserting the battery, and pressing POWER.
When prompted Do you want to start update?, press VOLUME UP for Yes. When prompted again Do you want to reboot device?, press VOLUME UP for Yes.
Your phone now has a custom recovery. To restore superuser access to your phone, you can apply any appropriate update.zip; such a file can likely be found here: Superuser App

No you need to respect the questions that some ask in forums. We may not all be brainiacs in here but some respect will be appreciated. And as far as a sense of humor I did not see anything funny in Wat you wrote...

Since you're still S off, just download a PC36IMG.zip of amon ra recovery. Place it on your SD card, boot to the bootloader, and it will ask u to update. Say yes. That will flash a recovery for you. After that, you can boot to recovery and flash a rom. Then you'll be back in action.
Edit: I attatched a PC36IMG.zip of Amon Ra 2.3 recovery. Place the file on the main directory of your sd card. When you boot to the bootloader, it'll scan and find the PC36IMG.zip, then ask you to update. Hit volume up. When it asks you to reboot when it finishes, say no. Then from the bootloader menu, select 'recovery'. You'll now be in recovery. At this point, you'll just need to use recovery to flash a rooted rom of your choice. So be sure to have a ROM on your sd card, then go ahead and flash it as you normally would. Hope that helps a bit.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App

ok maybe I can help...i believe I saw or read somewhere that if you accepted the 2.3.3 OTA you can RUU back to 2.2 with a bootloader you can root with...at least that's what I think I heard...but if you have one of the new batches of EVOs I believe you'll have to wait til they find an exploit.
And next time just try to be a little more specific with what you are trying to accomplish and if you don't already, try searching for your answer before posting so we don't end up with a million of the same thing (like we do already)
But try doing a little more digging into what I said cus I don't want what I say to be the reason you get a pricked phone.
Hope this helped.
Edit: oops, sorry didn't see that you still have s-off...just listen to k2buckley haha

Wow...no offense but I am no brainiac but I know how to ask a question. And let me quote the Rules of XDA Forums:
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.

[Q] How I should root my Galaxy Nexus

I've searched and read many ways to root, install CWM and many of the tutorials I've found were differents.
So I decided to ask people who did it what they have used. Did you use the nexus root toolkit from Wugfesh? The Galaxy Nexus toolkit? Or did you use the CLI (Fastboot , ADB) ?
What is the safest way? The easiest way?
I would to root my Nexus. I did it with my Galaxy S and I realy think it worth it but I always feel a little bit unsafe when I know it could brick my phone.
So again, according to you, how should I root my Galaxy Nexus?

Just don't use a toolkit.

[VZW/SPRINT/GSM][Guide] Ultimate Galaxy Nexus Guide (Unlock/Root/Flash Roms/FAQ)

It LITERALLY takes 5 mins to root, flash custom recovery, and then a custom ROM. The "hard" part is installing the drivers on your computer.

I used the Wugfresh toolkit. It was very easy. You can also use the toolkit to flash roms. I like it.

Is it possible to root a stock Galaxy Nexus without installing a custom recovery? I have no real interest in flashing a ROM. I would like root access on my stock ROM though with as little modification as possible.

You can temporarily boot a custom recovery

If you have previous experience with rooting/ unlocking, using ADB and Odin, in case something goes wrong, then there is nothing wrong about using toolkits.
If you don't have previous experience, read a lot first, then go the safer way, use ADB.
Download the correct .tar file for your phone, download Odin and always keep them handy, when you tinker with your phone, you never know when something may go wrong

I think what Mach3.2 was trying to say is that if you use a toolkit:
1) you don't learn anything;
2) if something doesn't work, it is very difficult to figure out what, as the toolkit hides everything from you;
3) if you follow a step-by-step, you see EXACTLY what goes wrong where.

Did all the images flash successfully?
If so, try re-flashing the system, boot and userdata images, and re-erase the cache.

Then you are saying everyone who doesnt want to learn command lines shouldnt have access to rooting and flashing new roms to their phone. Toolkits are easy and fast when you are in trouble and need to get back to stock. There isnt anything wrong with using them just because you dont have to put a command line in.

Anyone coming into the android rooting, flashing roms, ect are kind of ignorant because they dont know everything. If we stay in the days of only using command lines and not coming up with faster ways to help our devices then that is being ignorant. There is just more than one way to do something. Just because someone uses a faster way it doesnt make then lazy but makes them open to new ways of doing things...

Using a toolkit is what is ignorant. With adb it is virtually impossible to "accidentally" do anything. Anybody who believes toolkits to be superior is either an idiot or too lazy to learn adb.

i would say that i have always tried to learn here, thats my goal , i dont know about other people and i dont criticize them , but it really frustrates me if i dont know whats going on when i am doing something. still TOO MUCH to learn:good:

Toolkit is only faster if you don't know how to use adb/ fastboot. Its only faster because you don't know what you're doing it takes me the same amount of time typing commands than using a toolkit basically I'm just waiting for the files to flash and move on to the next step. It isn't like when you're using a toolkit it can magically type and execute all the commands at the same time there is still a process being done.
