Well it seems sprint is hard at work to patch the exploit to regain root. They are pushing 2.27.651.6 OTA (over the air) update today. do not download or install untill it has been verified safe, it is beleived to be a patch to fix the root exploit.
This is just a friendly warning.

I figured this would be for EVO only to fix their SDcard issues.
it is only for the EVO. only update for heros that ive heard of is the gsm heros getting updated to 2.1 and thats it.
Just checked for firmware update, No Update Available.
Why is this posted here OP, is there something you know that this will be pushed to us Hero owners too?
I did the RUU then root fix, after starting up i got notified about an update also. So hmmmm. Maybe something in the update makes the system think it's an evo.

You need to do the optional Cert stuff at the bottom of the guide to disable OTA updates.
Well there are reports that Sprint HERO customers have recieve a notification of an update. So I figure better safe then sorry to atleast post the info....
Besides I'd rather be wrong on this then to not post anything and have people updating to find out it was true.
If they want to remove my post then that is fine. Also I posted this hear for any new hero owners that may have just started exploring the options to root there Hero's
Have a great day, and hopefully I am wrong about the update.
The sprint community forums has confirmed that there is an update available directly from HTC. There are posts at various android forums that is confirming an EVO update this morning to fix the sdcard issue also patches the root exploit. Most people are saying that this OTA update for the Hero patches root as well.
I can confirm that there is an update for the HERO today also, "System Upgrade 2.27.651.6 (3.17 MB)" has come up on my HERO
ok, well that proves me wrong. sorry about that. in any case, does anybody know what the update does?

Probably patches root.
I find it hard to belive hero has had a root exploit less than 24 horus and sprint already has a patch for it.
The hero uses the same exploit as the EVO and the EVO patch today gets rid of root. Putting two and two together means that this update was probably really easy for them to push out.
No official list out yet but with 3.17MB, there's gotta be more than just regaining root. I would hope anyway. There's so many other useful things they could update.
Just renamed system/etc/security/otacerts.zip TO /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip.bak using root explorer.
That should hold em.

On the How to Root Sprint 2.1 Release thread, someone updated to the 2.1 RUU from Sprint website today and it put the .6 version on (or at least updated immediately) and they lost root. However, the team is trying to see if they can gain it back or at lease roll back to the .5 version.

The exploit is based off of the EVO exploit, which was announced last week. Due to the similarity it may be more believable.
I just update the info on the first page I have downloaded and extracted both from sprint and htc and it is confirmed to be the new version
http://community.sprint.com/baw/com...-update-available-for-htc-evo-4g-and-htc-hero
Sprint says it only fixes the SD Card issue and the "Security Vulnerability" on the Evo, so obviously the Hero update was just patching root.
I find it really ... annoying.. that all they did was concentrate on patching root.... That should be SOOO far down on their priority level.
And hopefully, my comment will be seen by a lot of people, albeit a rude one, but my thoughts none the less...
@unrevoked
unrEVOked forever v1.1 is now available. S-ON, more EVO radios and CDMA Hero: http://unrevoked.com/forever
@unrevoked
Amazing work from Sebastian Krahmer. His latest exploit also works on Froyo 2.2 on the EVO: http://c-skills.blogspot.com/
Looks like we now have what we have all been waiting for.
Update: I Followed the last link I shared on here for the guide and have successfully rooted my evo. So if you want your evo rooted go the the development forum and follow the guide. but here's the link again if you need it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765496
i was thinking this as well.. but thinking about it further.. unrevoked rorever requires a custom recovery to be installed first. to get that custom recovery you need to run unrevoked 3. unrevoked 3 still has the disclaimer: Unrevoked 3 does NOT work on Stock Froyo (Android 2.2) Phones
:-/
Yeah, little skeptical still.. Wish I wasn't at work, I'd try it out.
It looks like unrevoked found the exploit to get into the phone now and then you have the programs to run it. They will probably update something to show us how to do it all together.
But they found out how to get in that's all that matters.
So from what I'm understanding is the new way to root the droid 2 is the same exploit that works for the evo and will work.
Here's the thread for the droid 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=764950
So from what I understand is if you follow those instructions it should work.
@unrevoked
If you're desperate to root an EVO with Froyo, watch this space for a downgrade/unrevoked^3/unrevoked forever method: http://bit.ly/dg2Fu4
nice ill wait until this method is thoroughly tested on the evo, but glad to see 2.2 rooted!
DAMN! This will lower the value of my EVO when I go to sell it in about a week. Booooo!
Great, now I can send by mine back for replacement since my 4g keys are borked.

Follow the last link I posted under the update on the first post.
not to sound ignorant, but what does this new root entail ? caz i have evo (came with 2.1) did root it with unrevoked forever and have been using custom froyo roms. currently i am using fresh evo 3.1.0.2.
so back to my original question, what does this new root do? is it just for the new evos which comes preloaded with 2.2?
thanx
It works great! A little lengthy but well worth it!
All it is.. is to make root for people who had 2.2 froyo or had it installed when bought.. brings it back to 2.1 so you can root your evo.

I just tried it and it does work just follow the instructions works perfectly dont worry about it does work
Since I didn't want to unrevoke and have full access I actually used the step tell it asked for me to unrevoke so my phone was on 2.1 and then I went for another rooting option for 2.1 and it all worked and I'm not on the CM6 nightly. It is wonderful and it's amazing how much more I can do now.

While Samsung Captivate owners are grabbing their GPS fix, HTC EVO 4G owners might want to check their handsets for an update as well. Sprint is pushing out a new update (3.29.651.5) today which should address some issue that EVO users have been complaining about for a while.
The minor update fixes the calendar editing and multiple Gmail account sync problems. I have not been able to download the new firmware update yet, but if you want to manually check for the update, follow the steps below. As usual, Sprint is being pretty quiet about the update, so we have no indication as to how fast it will be rolling out to all HTC EVO 4G users.
Manually check for System Update
From the home screen, press Menu
Select Settings
Scroll down and select System updates
Select Firmware update

Will update potentially eliminate Unrevoked 3.21 Root?
I've not heard a decisive answer on this one. But is it safe to assume that a Sprint update will reverse my EVO's rooting via Unrevoked 3.21 or possibly cause problems with the device?
Not firmware update....HTC software update
Wow, there is an update coming out today. Would have never known if it wasn't for all the other posts about this in the correct section......

It'll probably be in your sdcard download or downloads folder. Then usb it or email it to a pc (generic sense) then post it. I haven't tried to load attachments from the evo to the forum, though that would also be a method. You may even be able to use "share"..
So can I install this on my full root fresh Rom and be good to go, or do I have to wait till fresh puts out an update.zip with this included?

No you will loose root wait until a dev releases a update.zip of the Rom
The Unrevoked folks have confirmed the update fixes the 30fps cap:

I just got an Evo 4G yesterday, the last time I rooted an evo I had was a few months after release. But I left sprint for another carrier for almost a year, it was a 002 verison. Any how this evo has the Following
2.10 Hboot
004 revison
Baseline 2.15.00.11.19
Build 3.70.651.1
Software 3.70.651.1
PRI 1.90_003
PRL 60676
I have no idea which root method to use i've searched and seen so many but not sure which one to use, last time I was using unrevoked, cant remember if I had to use shell commands like it was during the first rooting process of the Evo. It seems that it has got a little more confusing. Can anyone give me a LINK with a method that would work with my EVO. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the speedy reply, giving it a go right now.
Wow, where are the people saying "Unrevoked sucks! You're lazy if you use it and if you do, you deserve to get herpes!" that usually come out for questions like this?
I second unrevoked. I know what I'm doing, but unrevoked worked fine for me. Why do extra work if it's not needed?
3rd vote for Unrevoked.
4th unrevoked for noobs there's no better way and its quick

I am in the Exact predicament, just got a new Evo today. My old rooted/nand unlocked one broke and my best-buy warranty got me a brand new out in box, 100% free. Now im looking to re-root it. Last time i rooted i used toasty's method(think that was his name) and it took a while with some adb terminals. Does unrevoked root and unlock nand? I just want to be able to run Cyanogen Mod and tether wifi.
Thanks guys.
I just tried Unrevoked 3. I have the correct Evo drivers installed via HTC Sync, i had uninstalled HTC Sync, and i had successfully installed the Hboot drivers. I then ran unrevoked and it found my Evo but after a few minutes of the program working, i got this error.
http://www.imagebam.com/image/ed5368123295155
Anyone know of a way to root/nand unlock brand new Evo's? mine came with 2.2
Just ran it as Admin and all is well. My stupid fault, and wow was that allot easier then the like 80 step guide i fallowed for my first evo.

Go ahead and give it another try and run as admin. Make sure you have HTC sync uninstalled and have the Android USB Driver installed. And also make sure your downloading the latest version of Unrevoked.
EDIT: I just noticed your last post... Oh well.. Glad you got it rooted.
+1 sometimes with the newer hardware you have to try it a few times before it'll work.

I was in the same boat in February. Spent two weeks reading through every thread on here trying to decide - especially since mine is a company phone and I didn't want to brick it that quick.
I ended up doing the Auto Root. I watched the youtube for the 25 minutes, then ran it on mine while the video ran again. Worked in perfect time with the youtube video and have not had a problem with it at all.

hah i am usually one of those people saying unrevoked will give you herpes, but it has gotten better over the past few months, and now works perfectly fine.
if you want to take the hard/fun way, use the link in my sig. it is the manual way to do it that teaches you how to use basic adb and flashing and stuff. very helpful if you want to learn fast.
again, my unrevoked hating days are over, but i still reccomend this method.
I have rooted several methods. Manually and with unrevoked. Unrevoked works fantastically and I have never had a problem. Noob or just lazy like me, its perfectly fine
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
same here unrevoked 3.32 worked flawlessly for me i was very curious about rooting and if hadn't been for unrevoked i probably would have never done it i saw a video on youtube and looked so simple, it was like for clicks it worked for me in two i was so surprised i didnt belive i was rooted and checked and rechecked and i was fully rooted
unrevoked here as well. I originally rooted using Toast's method back at launch, but my new phone came a few days ago and I had the same debate. Unrevoked just plain works fast, and it has a tiny download.
Is there a version of "Unrevoked" coming for the EVO Shift or is anyone close to developing a "one-click root and recovery"? I am new to the HTC side of Android coming from Samsung Galaxy S line.
