New evo owner.

Ok. I am coming from the epic 4g. I ended up getting a evo to replace it. It's already running 2.2. What do I need to root it?
Sorry I failed to see the q and a section. Epic fail.

Ok thank you for the info. I am used to the epic and there is really only
One way to root.
On the evo I am seeing alot of different ways.
Seems I need to figure out which hardware version I have. Right now I don't have a pc and from what I am seeing is that since im already running 2.2 I can't root without a pc.

It was flimsy. I don't need the keyboard. The battery life sucked. The radio always was spotty. It was a decent phone but I feel the evo is better.

Don't use clockwork use amon_ra for recovery. Clockwork does not back up the 4g keys and it has some issues with wiping.

I think you should be fine. That's what 4g does if you're not in the coverage area. I've used and flashed with both Amon and Clockwork, never had issues with either. There was a version of Unrevoked early in the Evo's lifetime that borked people's 4g radios, but I don't recall any other instances that caused problems

Do you notice better reception or battery life? I want to flash the latest radio but now with different versions of hardware going around I didn't know if certain versions of the radio were made for different hardware versions. What hardware version is your evo? Mine is 0003. Thanks for the reply.

0003 nova screen
great reception, no issues at all I highly recommend it. make backup in ra recovery first to avoid rsa keys being wiped

Anyone who has this flashed can you confirm a software number of 1.66.605.2 instead of 1.66.605.6?

Good bye all!

Loved all the work the devs did for the EVO 4G but mines officially retired...just ordered my insurance EVO 3D today. I appreciate all the hard work from the people who still keep this device alive.

See you over on the 3d side. (I have both, you'll have fun in 3d land)

I just recently got mine as well. Love the qhd resolution and speed. Check out InfectedRom Eternity. It's awesome!

I will indeed I used it on my EVO and it was pretty good, so with the EVO 3D being newer I would imagine the ROMs even better on that than the OG EVO. And I checked the phone out in stores and you are right the speed and resolution is amazing

I take it so you basically have to "break" your evo. Or just wipe all and not place a ROM back on. lol.

lol, I can't do it anyway I didn't op for the insurance. I will when I upgrade though.

Updated OTA to latest version but...

So I recently unrooted my phone to have Sprint connect it to their services. I updated to the newest software version 2.3.5 but, nothing changed as far as the sense goes. It's still the same old sense since like 2.2. And what I mean it doesn't have the theme changer or shortcuts in the drop down menu. Am I missing something?
I remember unrooting my old EVO to see what the OTA updates were like a while back and seeing the new features. But I remember having to install that update via Sync. Problems is I looked on HTC's website and all over googleville and couldn't find it anywhere. Can somebody please help me with this? And possibly refresh my memory on how to do it via Sync. Thanks in advance.

HTC never updated us to sense 2. Kinda sucks really...HTC even updated phones with less ram and slower processors (for example htc wildfire) but left us with the OG EVO on the old original Sense.
Kinda bullsh*t if you ask me but whatever at this point I get to upgrade in Novemeber, though I would still like to see sense 2 before then.

It wasn't the full sense 2 but it has some of the features like the new lock screen, the drop down menu shortcuts to WiFi networks and such. And the themes changer

Those features have never existed on the stock ROM for the EVO 4G. You must've been running a custom ROM.

Those features came on my evo. I rooted and went to aosp, but they are on my stock ROM

You had quick settings in the Notification pulldown and the Sense 3.0 lockscreen stock on your EVO? I don't think so . . .

I am running stock software and I can assure you it does not have quick settings and the unlock screen is the same as my old Hero had so there is no difference. You can download the app called quick setting which will give you the settings in the pull down menu but this is not from HTC.

Oh well maybe I was mistaken but those features are on the stock EVO shift. I don't think I can root since I hot Tue 2.3.5 update

Oh so what would I use to root it? Unrevoked 3 or Forever or another method. Because for some reason my computer can't perform ADB correctly so a manual root is out of the question. Is there a little bit of info for rooting from 2.3.5 somewhere I could reference?

You have to use HTCDev.com to unlock the bootloader on the 2.3.5 version, which allows you to get root. The only other exploit is TacoRoot, which allows you to downgrade to a version rootable with unrEVOked or Revolutionary (you can likewise downgrade after unlocking with HTCDev).
