Revolutionary released for S-OFF and no EVO! - EVO 4G General

Well they released revolutionary for almost all phones but the EVO.
The thing I dont get is why do they hack the phones that will have S-OFF shortly and not the ones that will not??????
http://revolutionary.io/

I dont get that either. Im half tempted that if something does not happen within a week or two (due to my 30 days) taking back my evo for a samsung. I know the developers are working on a solution, but i cant go without wireless tether now that i have my tab back. This is frustrating.

Yea I didn't understand that either, but maybe it was just because they wanted to see if they could do it? I hope now that this is out we get a root solution soon.
who cares what this says anyways

perhaps, because the evo4g is an old phone near it's EOL, regardless of how you look at it? these devs have moved on to newer and better phones. why would you expect them to still take care of a phone that's well over a year old?

it dosent work on evo it reads device

don't count the OG developers out just yet.

You know what. I don'tget this at all. They started unrEVOked for the Evo 4g. But the suprising thing is that they still support the desire and aria. If it doesn't come out, we should try looking in the code for the desire or aria roots to seeif we can use any of that for the evo.
I am unrooted now because sprint tried to force me to buy the evo 3d for the full 500 dollar price, so I have to wait til april to upgrade (but I'm waithing for kal-el processors.

I believe the exploit they have found isn't available on our phone. If that's the case its an exploit only in sense 2.1+. Please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong.

Cause the newer phones need root first.
Now they can focus their time on OG Evo and older phones

If someone has access to an EVO 3D ill trade my rooted EVO 4G for it lol

about 6 hours to late

did they get S off? lol i know the 3d is and now i want it!!! Ill have to sell my stupid iPhone and try to get the 3d lol

Dont be sad guys im sure the evo will get root soon. Yes alot of devs jumped ship to 3D but theres still plenty great devs that are using their evo 4G's. They had root a while back for the 3D but couldnt release it just yet because it could potentially show htc how they found root or what exploit they found and htc would patch it. I dont know who's trying to root the latest gb on evo but im sure someone is doing it...Now just gotta find an exploit in gb to take advantage of to unlock 2.3.

from root wiki:
Will you release the source code?
At this time, we are not disclosing the vulnerability we have exploited.
That doesn't seem fair! Android is about open source.
In some senses, we agree; but at times, a tradeoff needs to be made. Releasing the source code for this, we believe, would compromise the greater ability to unlock devices like these in the future. Given the choice between sacrificing the liberty of running code on our handsets and the liberty of reading the code by which we unlock it, we feel that the millions of handsets are more important. It is unfortunate that we must make such a choice, and we look forward to the day in the future that no such decision need be made.
ie progress for OG EVO?

I love my rooted evo. I cant see myself going back to stock ever

seems like root is almost coming

Well if root is coming soon it would be nice to hear from a dev. like its coming , hold on, soon, working on it or something please.. p.s. don't leave the OG in the back of the bus..lol

When, when, when!?

I have a rooted Evo running 2.3, and I know a lot of you won't want to take time to help a fellow OP out, but. When will Sprint release an OTA 2.3 update for the HTC Evo 4G? Any ideas? Facts?
Youre input would be much appreciated, thnx.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Probably never...it's been suggested that manufacturers will be skipping 2.3 and just move to 2.4.
And Sprint won't be releasing anything anyway, this is all on HTC.
Manufacturers make the updates, send to carriers, carriers approve and and bloatware apps and release.
Yeah 2.4 sorry, so probably not then? Wow that's lame.

My guess would be within the next 45 days.
We know the Evo is getting Gingerbread [2.3/2.4] so it will come.
It makes sense that it would come before Spring.
Ohh he meant sprint doesn't release updates and that its up to htc, no I know that I just meant sprint actually getting ahold of the final product and sending it out to us. I thought he was saying regardless of htc having a 2.3/2.4 update sprint will just be all natzi about it and not give it to us after they have ruined it via, bloatware and other disgusting apps. Lol sry my bad, so hopefully in 45 days cause this has taken way too long.

it's gonna be awhile for them to implement the new sense into ginger. then sprint would have to test before releasing it. if anything at best we might see it by late spring. ive never seen any documentation that even stated htc was working on it for the evo. just like the evo2 is nothing but a myth at this point.

Also, Froyo was released to the Evo about four months after Froyo was released by Google.

OP here, Well I'm sure that we will but since its like dead and nobody talks or knows for sure you start to think if its gonna happen at all...I don't see the echo as sprints new flagship phone and as far as I know the evo sells more than the epic and shift so if they abandon all ships on 2.3 I think yours truly is gonna have to switch over to Deutsche Telecom.

I wouldn't worry about this too much. Yeah, there will be some jumping ship but if you peak XDA's front page the Evo is the most popular phone on XDA. I tossed the idea around to go with the 3d but I want to see reviews once its released. I would be willing to bet that with the first 3d phone there are going to be bugs like crazy. I know they test a lot but there are bound to be some issues.
cant wait to see what happens with the 3D. im sure everyone wont bail at first but it will happen
unless i can get a 3d for cheap ill pass on it for now and wait for the galaxy s 2 to come. i think the evo has a good 6 months of dev life left in it.

Yeah from what I've seen review wise about the galaxy s2 and say...the HTC sensation, the Samsung looks a lot smoother more snappy over all unless you can't live without HTCs UI (i like it personally) then I would go for the GS2 from what I've seen. And I don't think they're going to screw it up and put a keyboard on it this time. (that may change with other versions on down the line though)

EVO is the most popular currently because the 3D is not even out yet. With that being said I'm sure devs will work on multiple phones. Myn works on a few different phones for example.

Some of the dev.s for the Evo don't even have an Evo. It's not required to own the phone if you're a skilled enough developer. And we definitely have those on board with the evo.

root

Hey guys I'm coming from the HTC inspire to HTC evo. Over at the inspire forums they have a super one click option to take s off and root the device it was very simple with video instructions as well. What's the easiest way you guys have here to root the evo? I was looking at a thread but it has about 50 steps any other way around that? Is there a super one click option?
unfortunately... those of us with the OTA update are stuck with rootless EVO's...
the fortunate users had previously rooted their phones with a drag and drop i believe... (don't take my word on that, i joined the root sensation a little late... hence my rootless phone) but i think it was like 5 steps er so... it didn't look too bad and it was even easier for you if your on a linux platformed pc with unrevoked er sumthing like that...
either way the EVO is an outstanding phone and i stand by it, until something better comes out... (not the nexus s)
If you have a android 2.2 model go to http://unrevoked.com/#evo for the easiest to use tool around.
If you have android 2.3.3 go to http://vaseline.com/ and lube up because you are screwed until someone releases an exploit

Its certainly not going to be OG Evo oriented. That much is clear. However, progress is progress. These guys were talking about a universal bootloader unlocker. This could be it. If not, its root for 3d/sensation. Now they focus on OG Evo.

what i do know is they said the exploit they found would work across all bootloaders with some tweaking, that said however, the 3d is a lot more locked down than the evo is, and i believe the current temp root for 3d doesnt work for the OG evo because they work differently , even though they use the same or similar bootloaders, i could be getting some of it wrong but u get the jist of it

Sprint deading us?

So i recently heard HTC is officially deading the EVO 4g? what does this mean for us?? We will never get an official OTA update for ICS??
Also what if my phone breaks and i go to order a replacement.....the phone will be discontinued and wont be able to get it anymore? im a little confused.
1. We never were getting an official ICS this phone hit EOL (End of Life) status back in October 2011
2. You will get a refurbished evo4g or a comparable phone of no 4gs are in stock, usually a 3d
We are legion, for we are many
^^^ what he said .. EOL . means no more support.. just like they are doing the IDEN customers you will have a discounted replacement of equal options..
Why the jamaican slang?! Dx
$1 gets you a reply
Means nothing to those who follow the dev community. Especially AOSP users.
My Evo was dead to Sprint the day I rooted it, if we're being accurate.
2 years later, it's still very well supported on XDA, for which I'm very glad. I'm in no hurry to replace it.
