If so..
2. Are you guys still able to root?
And...
3. What version should you have on your epic to root?

1. No, she probably got an old OTA update
2. Yes
3. You can root any baseband version with the lastest one click method (EC05 is the latest official).

They were confused because our Gingerbread official release appears to be around the corner, and you were mentioning an OTA update lol.
So man... how can you live letting your woman get the better phone? I mean I can't see any reason why unless she cooks and cleans constantly....
When gb comes out though u will root using odin or heimdale. Our phones are not locked down by the bootloader like the evo is.

The Epic would be a great phone if it had the same level of Dev support as the Evo.
Christ, the Epic doesn't even have a fully functional AOSP ROM.

I've always wondered why...
Is it just because Samsung doesn't have as much dev interest or Samsung doesn't release all their source code or...?
Its advertisement. The epic did not get much advertising your right amazing hardware the super amoled display is the best ive ever seen on any phone. But sprint just didnt advertise it much alot less people hear about it. Like the evo sprints flagship they advertised the hell out of it and therefore created a much larger comunity for the evo as compared too the epic sprints red headed step child
i'm pretty sure it has more to do with the fact that one's made by HTC and the other is made by Samsung.
Yeah i think so too... I think that advertising would affect how many users... but devs are gonna know about all the choices anyway.
Ahhh, one of those people my sig applies "too". I guess the epic was a bit much for you? What's the saying....can't take the heat........ had to edit, this thread is littered w/ ya folks, LMAO...guess it's an EVO thing huh?
Nice! Got to love the Evo!

Yeah but by the time I figure it out the EVO will have gone the way of the dinosaur. I wouldn't even know where to begin. I have thought about development (creating a rom) but I have little knowledge about coding and script writing.
Edit: it wouldn't be a concern for me but my usb port failed and my replacement came preloaded with the update.

Yes, it is being worked on. I've seen a couple rumors that the Unrevoked team is getting close.
Also, keep in mind that the same root exploit is likely to work on both the OG EVO and the 3D, just like the rageagainstthecage exploit worked on multiple devices running Froyo.

Depends where the exploit is -- if it's in Gingerbread, yes. If it's in Sense 3, it wouldn't help us.
But regardless, I'm glad to hear unrevoked is making progress, even if it's just a rumor at this point.
omg I hope this is cracked soon. I had to go to the sprint store with my phone and doing so caused me to load the newest rom by sprint. Long Story but my power button broke. I am waiting for a replacement and hope it comes with older software. I really miss root and need my Synergy fix. I hope progress is made soon.
Sorry to hear that best wishes on the draw I'm in the stock box too
Omgadroid is Linux only
I might just be too used to jailbreaking ipads and iphones for friends, but is there no way to "downgrade" the evo to a jailbreak-able version?
Don't use it to downgrade don't update till ruu downgrades to a higher version then mod that ruu to in a sence upgrade to root
Omgadroid is Linux only

We should have an uproar! We should be running the beta of Ice cream Sandwich as their should always be a beta available to everyone who wants it. Heck I want Android Version 5 just because outside of google no one knows about it.

TBH i had no clue if that was right not, But i know OG's as Original Gangsters and theres Froyo and GB Evo's. I just got high and put two and two together, ya know. It works.
Well you put OG before a phones name when it's succesor is released hence the evo 3d was released so now the Evo 4g is the OG Evo 4g same with the droid incredible Now that the droid incredible 2 is out its the og incredible.....same with droid 1..droid 2 is now out so its the og droid.....basically it means original lol
