I have the Evo and used Unrevoked 3.2 to root it. My girlfriend is getting the Evo Shift this coming weekend. I am trying to get her to let me root it. Does the Unrevoked method work on this phone or is it currently in the works?

Answer to question: NO!
There is a proven root method already available and its "stickied" right at the top of the forum. Only use Unrevoked if you plan to give your girlfriend a rather expensive paperweight.

Thank you..

It's stickied near the top of the "EVO Shift 4G Android Development" sub-forum. Title is "{GUIDE} Perm-rooting the HTC EVO Shift!!! Recovery added". Here's a link:

Well I've read through the wiki and I'm still lost... what's the best way to root a new Evo for 004 hardware? I've been told Unrevoked is good but I've also read threads that it doesn't work with 004. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

I heard they updated unrevoked to root 004.
Search the dev section. You will find the root guide.

it is not the easiest way.. but it will teach you want you are doing at each step and why.
uses unrevoked and amon_ra
these are solid.. and will be great for future mods.
Unrevoke is the easy way off rooting, but make sure to have hboot drivers install( windows only) before rooting
sent from my evil evo!!
No worries
I use Unrevoked all the time and it works flawlessly on Hardware 2 through 4 phones. Just make sure you download the latest version at:
http://unrevoked.com/#evo
Other methods as mentioned above work too but can be somewhat complicated. In the end, they all use Unrevoked to achieve S-OFF.
Add one more vote for Unrevoked.

Awesome... thanks for the reply everyone... I'll hit the Thanks button for each of you once I get to my PC later.... Just one more question... what's the best way to unroot and get back to stock Rom if I need to go for a warranty exchange in the future? Thanks again...

Run the Unrevoked S-ON tool and then run a current RUU. Easy as pie.

the all in one root method. search the dev section for it. very easy & simple.
Ha... I'm familiar with Adb, have Android SDK setup on ubuntu and windows, but the sheer amount of info here for the Evo, its overwhelming, a lot of defunct procedures and conflicting info, I just didn't want to start down the wrong path. I'm seriously considering getting the Thunderbolt, I'm in the 30 day trial with Sprint and although I like the Evo with all the development here, the Thunderbolt is looking
awfully appealing... Cheers to everyone for your assistance...

Ive never heard of the flyer but it sure doesn't sound better than the EVO lol come on teamwin (the good people behind the temp root) the EVO needs your help

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've seen A LOT of people ask the same question... "can I root my Shift if I took the Gingerbread update?" or "Can I downgrade to froyo and then root?"
Just to eliminate any confusion
Update: Thanks to otaking71 and scaryghoul you can now downgrade your hboot and use the froyo root method

I'm just waiting for the device to arrive. I don't have cost associated with it except time. So I'd ask donations to wait for me till we have perm-root. Obviously, he has upfront costs getting the devices for us devs and shipping them out. So he can use the donations now to cover what he is doing for the community.
