There is no news because, well, there is no news. Not once has there ever been news other than bullcrap rumors that "they" are working on a hack to the locked bootloader (thanks HTC). Face it, we're never going to get root on OTA 2.3.3. HTC wins and the hackers / modders lose.

Sleestax come on bruh don't hurt my feelings man Ahahahaha

Dude...we've all had our 2.3.3 phones rooted for a few days. Didn't you see that thread that talked about the exploit? You had to run it this weekend, though, because Sprint pushed a silent update to patch the vulnerability this morning. Sorry you missed it.

knowing how long 2.3.3 has been without root and how many phones are affected by the OTA and knowing how anxious everyone is to find root, you never thought to yourself, "hmmm these boards are probably going to be littered with threads about someone FINALLY finding root"...? jesus christ, use your f'ing head.

I see this is turning in to troll city..lol

Short answer... NO. No one cares about the og EVO anymore. Atleast not enough to root it because it would have been done already if they did.

If you goto the irc #unrevokedtest it says right at the top they are not working on our phone and don't ask eta in caps. So I'd say we gotta get new phones or new skills. Hate to be a Negative Nancy as I lost my root to insurance but its not looking good for us unskilled folks

Um yeah I already got banned from their channel on IRC for asking when "revolutionary" will include the og evo or if it will ever. They didn't ever answer me and I got banned so I have to assume they don't give a damn about the og anymore. But hey atleast agrabren reports that he is working on finding a way to port fr3vo to the og.

just boycott htc and upgrade to another phone when you can, also if at all possible make sure to let sprint know DIRECTLY (by email dumbasses, not the store manager whos going to forget about anything bad you tell him by the time you walk out of the store) about how disgusted you are with the latest OTA, if you can exchange your phone a couple of times (cost them money) , and let them know that "their" software updates might make you not take them in the future at all, you can go all out and tell them how now you actually want to root because of it, and how you might change companies if they are going to ruin your phones with their bloatwared software
htc doesnt give a ****, but sprint just might

I had a EVO that unfortunately was locked due to the bootloader changing with the 2.3.3 update but instead of waiting 1) we are talking about a device that has been out for a year, 2) the bootloader unlock that HTC promised which I don't believe included the OG EVO 4g. I think its about time to move on or wait for hopefully one of the many hackers out there to do there thing. I moved onto the Sensation 4g but in my personal opinion I believe that a lot of the hackers and developers are focused on the EVO 3D and The Sensation 4g then the EVO 4g.

There are stickies about rooting that will be updated when there is news. They even say "Updated mm/dd/yyyy" in the subject line to let you know when they are last updated. No need to post any questions about rooting, they just open the flood gate to stupidness and trolling.

Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can answer this.
When I had my Hero, it was rooted with s-on. I remember when they figured out the S-OFF thing, because it meant you would never lose root, if you flashed a RUU.
So I guess my question is, Why do we have to have S-OFF to be rooted?
Or was the unlocked bootloader used to obtain root in the first place?

This is an email that I recieved from HTC after emailing them asking about the sense 2.0 update (some things removed from it for my privacy):
Dear ,
Good question! We understand how important it is to have the latest updates for your device.
I'm happy to inform you that your phone, the HTC Evo is definately on our list to recieve the 2.3 Android OS update. This update is expected to include an update to the Sense UI.
At this time, we don't have an exact launch date. However, we estimate that it will be available in the second quarter of 2011 (anywhere from the beginning of April, to the end of June), assuming that there are no major setbacks. Once we have a better idea of when this update will be availble for your phone, we'll be sure to announce it through Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/htc) and Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/htc), and of course, HTC.com.
Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number.

Uhmmm what? If i wanted the iphone i would have gotten it already. Screens to small. Os is eh.. i have an itouch for apps and music so there is no plus there. The evo is getting gingerbread...
So what about the iphone 3g? Apple is no longer supporting that phone either. hmm...
The fact that you're posting in forums designed specifically to incite interest in rooting phones and installing the latest firmware tells me you are either an idiot or troll, op.
Likely both.
I don't have an iPhone so, well, I'm not sure I'll ever have an iPhone.

Have fun with your iPhone. One less troll on xda.
Whaaaa? I thought April Fool's Day was on the first. In so far as I can tell, the only thing Apple has to offer that Android doesn't is the number of higher quality games, and that gap is shrinking in a big hurry. Beyond that, my Evo does everything an iPhone does, and I don't have to put up with AT&T or Verizon. Bonus!
And at any rate, didn't Apple and AT&T brick a bunch of iPhones last year with OTAs?
Yea, and they will brick it remotely if its jailbroken now too, bunch of phone-nazis!

Grr .. New Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread build for Droid X reportedly is pushing OTA

http://www.androidcentral.com/new-a...ing-over-air?utm_source=ac&utm_medium=twitter
A new build of Android 2.3.3 for the Motorola Droid X is making the rounds this afternoon and reportedly has hit up a few people OTA-style. Here's the deal:
We're looking at Android 2.3.3. That's Gingerbread, folks.
It's system version 4.5.588 -- the leaked build we played with last month was 4.5.573.
It's said that the update might be pushed out silently -- you could get it an not even know it. We'll believe that when we don't see it.
If you don't feel like waiting for the update, you can update manually. (We've got instructions after the break.)
And if you do update (manually or over the air), the old 2.3.340 SBF file will still work, just in case you need to roll back.
So, that's that. We're halfway expecting Verizon to let us know if this thing's for real -- they've been really good about announcing updates the past few months. Anyone actually seeing this over the air yet? If you wanna give it a go the manual way, head on past the break. [Droid X Forums via P3Droid and Android Central Forums]
Same sh!t, different toilet.......GB will come when its time.

HTC is losing their edge to Motorola. They'll even let you downgrade from GB.
Not a good look for them since many people are so loyal to HTC for that very reason. And now that Motorola is talking about easing up on the rooting crowd...

Uhh. One of the first is kinda general.. there is no definition for it.
Being THE first and ONE of the first is a huge difference. If 30 android phones eventually receive the GB update and the EVO was tenth.. then yes it will be one of the first, especially if the EVO gets it in June and the other 20 don't get it until November.
I think you just like to argue or you got defensive thinking I was talking about you.. when I don't think I was.
Either way, all I ever said was the EVO would not be the first to get the update since there were leaks already for Samsung and Motorola phones.. and I got flamed for it.

To me, it's like going to the Doctor for a health problem, and getting great results from his prescribed treatment, then someone tells you about some new trendy cure, and without even asking your doc, you just jump on the bandwagon....
Why would people have not come here and checked with the experts for just taking the OTA, I will never figure out.
So is there a stock root for 2.3 yet? I am rooted on a stock kernal of Froyo right now and would like to go to 2.3 but only if I can keep root.
Did you get a popup or something notifying you (and allowing you the choice to install it or not)? I have a friend with a rooted phone, and I gave her the warning not to install it if she got warning.
If it installs automatically, I guess she's out of luck for wireless tethering for a while (and not going to be happy about it).

There is no way to root the OTA update once it's been installed. yet.

I been rooting phones for a long time now and the stock EVO has been doing the trick for me sorry you guys think Im behind times but if this post dose not apply to you then why reply??
So does the new OTA cone with the GB battery icon in the top bar ? I flashed the rooted 4.xx OTA and couldn't find an option to enable it...

I think the point is you're posting on an enthusiast board about a stock update that has nothing to do with rooting. Why would anyone here care about that, most people have been running some form of GingerBread for months now. So to post about an OTA which every single customer gets, and then wondering why people are making fun is really just strange.
I accepted the OTA and still have full root.

Whats strange to me is how people get off on getting on other post to prove a point. I know about CM7 and all the other Roms they are all good but i didn't post in the rooted section this is just general EVO talk section bro you guy r a trip.
You seem to be making this out to be a bigger deal than it is. You made a somewhat (unintentionally) funny post, a few people had laughs and the discussion evolved from there. There's not much reason to get upset over it.

I didn't say you posted in the rooted section, because there is no such thing. I said you posted on a phone enthusiast board, as in xda-developers.

Bad news for EVO 4G owners on 2.3

I just finished chatting with a Sprint customer support ("expert"), and he confirmed that the bootloader on the EVO 4G (I made sure he understood EVO 4G, NOT 3D), will remain locked.
So, unrevoked, team win, or whoever else, if you can get root for the EVO, you rock. Heroic work you are doing BTW.
So... Yeah... Not the best news... I think my next android phone will be stock google...
Discuss.
While that "customer support expert" was talking out of his or her ass, I think its widely known in the rooted community, where bootloaders have never been unlocked, but hacked, that they were never going to unlock the the EVO 4G bootloader. They said Sensation and 3D, and Ill eat my own **** if those are unlocked before the end of the year.

I hope your evo breaks and you have to get a replacement and join the tards on 2.3.. Come to think of it.. you could probably be the tard leader since you like to be a ****.. gg

In for youtube vid
The Evo 4G doesnt even have a "locked" bootloader like the sensation and E3D. The sensation and evo 3d have signed and encrypted bootloaders which are nearly impossible to crack unless you find away to disable the key check like Alpharevx has done. The current Evo 4G bootloader is locked in the same way that all previous evo 4g bootloaders were locked. The problem is, the exploit which was used to gain a temporary root shell in the 2.2 firmware (rageagainstthecage) was patched by google in 2.3. So before s-off can be achieved by hacking the hboot they must first find an exploit that allows for temporary root access.
lmao! sprint expert? omg. almost every tech on the phone does that! hahahahhaa who the hell would be stupid enough to talk about root with a sprint tech anyway? HE'S NOTING YOUR ACCOUNT THAT you're liking attempting to root your phone! hahhahahaha! They are required to tell you stories that claim that they will always be in control. That little tech IS A TECH ON THE PHONE! HE DOESN'T MAKE ANY choices in the company. hahahhahaha btw

All females that are hot must contact me for a good spanking. :-D

Except that if I understand correctly, the new bootloader no longer allows the system to be downgraded. Previously you could run any version RUU you wanted; now we're stuck with 4.24.
Also, the EVO bootloader requires HTC signed images as well. I'm curious what is different about it from the 3VO our Sensation?

The only thing different is its on the EVO 4G and not the Sensation or 3D...Kinda funny how people say its not "locked". Its always been locked, and just like alpharevx found a way around it on the 3D/Sensation, people have worked around it on the 4G.

Really?? I talk about with them all the time, and almost all of them are using rooted phones, btw, because we talk about ROMS, and stuff

I am well aware of those things. HTC wont unlock the bootloaders, and alpharevx hacked them, so I dont see your point?
*Wait, mind linking me to s-off for the 3D? I cant seem to find anything posted...

What do you mean HTC wont unlock bootloaders? Are you saying its all a big lie? If you can't find a link mentioning that alpharevx got S-OFF for both devices than you are not looking hard enough.
Lol the only thing good you can get out of sprint tech reps is your MSL number (and i had a rep gladly give me mine yesteray). I talked to HTC and the furthest I could get up to in the chain of command was "tech support", who happily informed me that there is no confirmation the EVO will be included in the devices being unlocked.
I wouldn't ever expect sprint to allow an unlock anyways. They really don't want you to be able to do whatever you want, they only want you to do what they want with the phone. Not to mention getting things like tethering for free and not paying them...umm yeah they like their money.

The unlocked scam was put into place to get customers to believe HTC was going to change. BUT IN TRUTH, we won't ever get unlocked phones from them. I find it funny that anyone in here believes we will. Lets get a REAL employee for HTC to give it to us first before we believe it. lol. Just like everyone has said... it will always be locked for our own safety and security. But what I'm hoping they'll do is just unencrypt it. or just give us their key so we can sign it and apply it. :-D
OKAY, I HAVE A PLAN. SOMEONE APPLY FOR HTC and steal the HTC key and quit. :-D

I see where s-off is "coming soon". Its not released yet. And no, I dont believe HTC will unlock the bootloaders. Thats just my opinion, I dont want to fight or argue about it.

Please don't whine.

Im a new account but ive been watching XDA for over a month now. I have an important message for OG EVO owners
Please don't whine/complain/mode/b*tch about Revolutionary not supporting the OG EVO
The developers are still going to be working on s-off and root
They have lives
And jobs
and things more important than OG EVO root to do.
Let the *****ing commence.

With the OG Evo being systematically phased out, the reasons to continue working on Rooting 2.3.3 are less and less every day. If people don't whine and ***** (hopefully respectfully- or at least somewhat respectfully) that they want root access they really will stop working on it.

sure, because it makes perfect sense that even the crappy aria is supported...
but i agree, i wont whine about it, but ive learned my lesson, wont ever take an ota on any phone ever again, and the only way ill buy another htc phone is if its rootable, wont ever use stock **** ever again , what a fiasco, gingerbread singlehandedly showed thousands of noobs to root their phones
