What is saying your phone isn't rooted? You probably just accidentally denied superuser permission to whatever root app you were messing with.
my phone has never talked to me, let alone told me if it was rooted or not.
Terminal Emulator said it tibackup all my rooted only apps even su .....

What?!? I have read in several places that the EVO doesn't support "permanent" root.
First of all, technically what does that mean?
Second, what does it mean for a "lover of ROOTed EVOs" like my self??
Just a little confused and worried now...lol

Could you link some of the places that you heard this? The original unrevoked 1 was a on phone app that was not permanent. I think it might mean you can unroot if you choose to. Not sure though. There is defietally permanent root.
Well if it's not permanent it is sure lasting me a long time. Like 6 months now. How much longer do you think I have before my root runs out? Please answer this is very important.

I'm new to the whole rooting thing and I wasnt sure what it meant... I will try to find the places I read that... I know one was in the market for a one click root app... And when I saw that I googled it but couldn't find anything conclusive....ghats why I thought I would ask the experts here

hehe sorry. We absolutely have permanent root. Like The Dude said, the original unrevoked was not permanent but every method since has been permanent. I'm sure whatever you read was old and/or possibly misinterpreted. Rest assured, your root is permanent and will not run out any time soon
Cool... I didn't think it meant it would run out, but it tricked me into thinking that something could happen...

I think he's talking about z4root which isn't permanent with the Evo due to requiring Nand unlock.

I don't know if any one has found this but the incredible has been able to do it by changing the system software without rooting it. My friend did this and he was able to use the tether on/off switch on the settings menu without ever having to pay the extra amount. Does anyone know of a method like this for the EVO? I believe its called dun hack.
Yep just run the mikfroyo Rom and its already built in.

@Swaze - he says without rooting the phone. Installing a ROM would require rooting.

If you would like a good step by step guide go to WWW.androidforums.com and go to the EVO section then look in the 'All about Root' section. There will be a 'Rooting guide for Dummies' at the very top. Follow this guide and they will help u with any problems or concerns

Thanks for your input all. But my primary goal is to enable wifi for free without rooting the phone at all, just re programming the setting do that using wifi would use my data plan.

He's not rooted cuz all he did was turn on the tether on the phone from the setting menu and I was able to connect my evo on the verizon network. He has actually done this for two months already without verizon knowing our an increase in his bill.
sounds like he's rooted, that's how you do it on a rooted phone. some reason you don't want to root?

I installed new roms almost weekly when I used Windows Mobile devices, but I'm a little shy about trying it with my Evo. Other than this hot spot stuff, I don't even see a benefit. Should I just suck it up and do it?

Yes. Just go to unrevoked.com and do it, simple, easy peasy...
Then flash a rom, they all have free tether..
I just did this yesterday, took 10 mins. DONE.
some ask me and i dont know my self but can you still perm root your shift after the new update GB 2.3.3.??
and if so can anyone shared the easy way to do it ?
Nope, nobody has found the exploit in it yet. if you do the update, you are stuck without root for now...neither perm nor temp work. I totally screwed myself.
oh damn lol welp my friend is iish outta luck im sorry u screwed your self over as well
please if you find anything sometime soon please let me know it be strongly appreciated thank you

The only thing I really NEEDED to be rooted for was tethering. So, for now I'm using PDAnet. It's only USB and Bluetooth, but good enough until somebody fixes the rooting problem. Otherwise i actually LIKE Gingerbread.
I just got a new shift from Asurion this past Friday and it did not have the update pre-installed, had Froyo

won't you end up with a refurb? Or is that just for warranty returns?
I just got a new one due to a bad speaker, and it's a refurb. Doesn't have the update installed, so if I get the ambition I'm going to have to root the new one today, and run the RUU on the old one later tonight lol.

Pay for the wifi hotspot?
i already pay 90 a month.. sprint gets enough. i tried tethering with usb using pdanet and then once it was connected i set up my computer as a router.. unfortunately pdanet's mtu setting is inadequate. wish i could revert to 2.2. but don't know how. just hope someone can break 2.3.3. i can still access bootloader. just remove the battery and volume down and power and that loads it but i can revert.and suggestions?
i did. im friends with the tech at mine and he said it wasnt a good idea.
You are going to have to be patient and wait for an exploit to be found like the rest of us. I'm about ready to re-activate my old Palm Pre and use it until this gets figured out...the wifi tethering works GREAT on it and it was EASY to hack/install and OTA updates don't kill it.

It's the tablet that's on par with the evo 3d in specs, and was released shortly before. Probably has some of the same programming as the evo 3d and the sensation.
Regardless, there are plenty of devs working on finding root for the evo, but it's not something tangible and it takes a lot of time and hard work. Sit back and be patient, and root will be found.

Thats it right there. All the "How can I root?" threads will be replaced by, "How do I root?"
I just got this 2.76.651.5 update OTA and so far it seems to have fixed the Sense UI reloading issue from the last OTA update. Here to hoping it's finally fixed.
Will there be any issues when this comes to achieving root? The last ota i got totally screwed me. Can anyone confirm whether or not this will inpead root ability?

I guess it depends on what all was changed, but i have always "thought" any ota closed a exploit, but this one hasnt been found by any dev for them to need to close it, so thats up in the air

I screwed myself by accepting the last OTA update. I'm certainly not accepting this one until know for sure it won't screw me further.
I'm personally not going to take that update atm. Still not happy with my current phone situation anyway... Had an Epic 4G but my fiancee wanted to upgrade from her dated Samsung Moment. So i looked around on Craigs and bought a Shift 4G. She didn't want the shift though, because she got so attached to her game-gripper on the Moment. So I gave her my Epic and took the Shift. Too bad it already had 2.3.3 on it =/
I'm just waiting on a new root exploit and I'm afraid to update anything on this sucker until then lol
I would never accept any OTA update. If root is ever discovered again and it requires the update you can always get it...can't really go back once you have it. On the other hand development for this phone is really slow and I believe root will only be found if it happens to be the same exploit as the newer phones so you may be without it for quite awhile and if the sms/mms issue affects you then you may want to take it. I know it is tempting but think about how it feels not having root just because you wanted the newest update.

So for anyone taking this ota, we need a favor before you flash it, atleast hook up to your pc find the update and throw it on dropbox,multiupload,megaupload,mediafire, somewhere so a dev can get their hands on it

+1 Be careful. If anything, just see if you can DL it without loading to phone. That way we can take a look at it.
