OTA 2.3.3 update

I have had 3 evos since they 1st came out and was wondering could I root with the new update that the evos have...
I'm hearing multiple things about I can't root and/or I can root...
Im a noob at the rooting stuff and with this new update made things more of a head ache...

I don't understand why people aren't being reamed more for this! The first time this happened when 2.2 dropped, people were getting flamed hard for starting new threads. We know that they know the answer... but they still want to pester and ask the question... as if it will bring the solution sooner.
Just do the pre-order for the 3D and get that phone. It will be permanently S-OFF out of the box!

This is not necessarily true. The final release was leaked on the EVO3D forum and shows s-on.

They don't even have to search, they are just 3-4 threads down from this

They really need to enforce those new rules they where talking about a while back. The basics of xda!

Ignore some of the people on here. It is okay if you are noob, but be sure just to search next time. And if you manage to not find an answer when searching, don't be afraid to post a question. There are a lot of good people on here that will help you.
Don't be sorry my friend.

cry me a river dude. you didnt take the time to try and solve the problem yourself. a simple search would have turned up the 700 other threads on the same subject. in fact, when you start a new thread and type in the thread title it automatically loads a list of similar threads which you obviously ignored. no sympathy from me. next time, dont be lazy and search

I don't understand this attitude... If it wastes your time then don't answer. Some people use the xda app which all of you xda cops should know is not search friendly. I get it though... its easy to tell someone what they should or shouldn't do on these forums.

[REQ Close thread]I've been getting a few messages lately

Different people have asked me privately if I would mind if they nominated me to be an Epic 4g mod. So, I'm saying this so everyone knows. I thank those that think i'd be a good mod, I really do, but I don't have time to be a mod. I'm only on xda a lot because of the app, I'm hardly ever on a pc. And school and soccer are starting back soon. So, thanks, but please don't request me anymore .

EVO 2.3.3 hdmi out

I'm curious what the steps are to unlock the current bootloader that is on an EVO White I just received from insurance. My previous EVO had the charger port unattach, which I hear is pretty common, had it for only four months, but I was able to mirrior netflix and hbogo via a program I paid 5 dollars for on the market. The program is called hdmi out and is no longer on the market. Please help!!

If you had spent more than 30 seconds, you would have found over 80 threads asking about root for 2.3. You cannot root it yet. End of conversation. Next time, search.

Looking at the top 10 topics in this forum 3 of them are about 2.2.3 root not counting yours.
It is hard to be helpful when you clearly didn't take the time to find the answer on your own. Sorry for being harsh. A new day another question about 2.2.3 root........
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

To be fair to the newcomers, I don't see why this forum can't add a sticky post that says 2.3 OTA can't be unrooted. Would make it a lot easier for newcomers and make it completely inexcusable to start a new thread asking for 2.3.

It's just to hard to pass a topic up regardless if your any help or not vs upping your post count eh?? Cuz that's all your doing.. posting nonsense that has no meaning to anyone but yourself since it gives you a stiffy to be able to let someone know you feel superior to them by knowing pointless information..
2.3.3 has no root yet.. even the white version.. Sorry, but join the many of us waiting patiently for this to happen. I feel your pain though as I had root before and also received a replacement. Hopefully soon we'll be back to our flashing ways..

NOT Another Goodbye Thread

Well its not... eh sort of just ordered my gnex today. Soo pretty soon here I will being jumping forums. Id just like to start an appreciation thread. I don't know if most people realize this but, this forum is in pristine organization. Looking at my new forum... it is SO unorginized so crowded, and people hardly get along. Here people collaborate, help, and inform. However we do have our flame wars.... but those are soon resolved. Also people here are very appreciative... I don't know how or what exactly I did to deserve 900+ thanks... but people sure do appreciate things. Anyways to wrap this up id just like to say thanks for the wonderful expierence with android and xda. Had it not been for the orginized and close-nit community we have here in the Epic 4g forum I would still be running an out-dated version of android or a bloated version.
Thanks

Nice to hear you're learning lots.
Just some friendly advice, please some time soon read the rules so you understand how and where to post and when to create threads, correct posting saves the moderators a lot of hard work and prevents you getting flamed.
Really you should have posted this in the general forum/general thread which is always welcoming apart from some grumpy old gits like me ....joking aside, if everyone plays their part the forum is much easier to use and find information on.
All the best....the moderators will probably lock this thread,, so read the rules and help them out :thumbup:
