Most likely a rooted 2.2 evo running a rooted stock 2.3 gingerbread rom; this has to be the case as there is no root for gingerbread.
Obviously.

what is a 2.2 rooted gingerbread rom? That doesnt even make sense.
There is absolutely root for stock gingerbread, just not if you accepted the OTA.
This guy probably just updated the phone to a pre-rooted Sprint EVO gingerbread rom obtained from right here on XDA.

Well you just failed, lol. Next time just type it out; 2.2. FYI gingerbread is 2.3.

I think he means it was rooted as 2.2 and then updated to a 2.3 rom

Sorry to everyone for that atrocious typo; I was on my thrive tablet, and xda wasn't playing nice. But yes, a rooted 2.2 running a 2.3 rooted stock rom.

Maybe so, but it got more attention than it should have, so it had to be fixed.
Though on the point, its people like him that scam everyone into buying something its not, then let someone new to xda buy it then start a thread of 'I HAVE S-OFF GINGERBREAD ROOT!'
Just calling it now.

RoyalGinger is as close to stock as you'll get, although any gingerbread roms will have some bugs since they're using dumps and ports for their base rom so once the update comes out we'll have the kernels and correct drivers etc. Making for a now perfect Rom hope I helped

It will definitely be out before the end of June, so if you can wait that long and you're wary of rooting, it should be here within 9 weeks.

Well yes if you install the OTA .. No if you wait for the great Devs to make a stock rooted ROM
Thanks for the heads up. It's about time they said something. Sounds good, but I'll wait till our Devs get there hands on it. Don't want the same issues some people are having with the EVO 4G update. Don't want to lose root, and have to wait.

Yes, but if you do the OTA and have the new HBOOT you have to wait to root. I'd raher just wait for the Devs.

The leak that is over in the Android Dev section has sense 2.1. I wouldn't expect the final release to have anything different.
This will be good once the kernel source comes out, and we can get some overclocking going.
Also, once the kernel source comes out, this should give the kingdom rom port a shot in the arm, as we will be able to OC that rom, and make it run like it should run.

Shift deck is AOSP, right? This is the sense rom update. You should only update to this rom if you want a sense rom again.
I will be waiting to install it as well. The root process on this phone is already involved enough. It will probably be a long time, if ever, before it gets rooted again after they patch the root method we are currently using.
The one thing I am curious about is if we are stock rooted will we be able to ignore the notifications about updating or is it going to constantly notify us to update forever?
According to Sprint's twitter account, the OTA is available now. I'm rooted, so I'm not going to mess with it, but for anyone who isn't rooted, and wants it, go get it...

Because there is still not a method to gain root access on 2.3
The good thing is you can root your phone.
Unrevoked has a linux tarball to root your phone http://unrevoked.com/recovery/
Once rooted, you can flash unrevoked forever to have permanent S=OFF ( and it's reversible if required) You will flash this from the custom recovery that you just installed.
Then, go get ROManager so if you want, you can use Amon_RA recovery (if you want)

A lot of people complain about Rom manger and cwm. Amon ra seems to work well with less problems. And roms that depends on what you like sense or asop. Newest sense is synergy(that is a team effort by the top devs) with sense 2.1 with some 3.0 mixed in( stock kernel so far on that) and as for asop I hear cm7 or kings(but that depends on personal taste).

VaelPak. 3.2 if you want FroYo, 4.0/AOSP if you want AOSP. Link in my sig.
So for the newest OTA do the old methods still work? I assumed Unrevoked didn't and didn't see any threads.
I guess it doesn't. Oh well. No root for co-worker.
I got mine at Best Buy even. First thing I did was CANCEL the firmware check it tried to do. Figured if it was already at 2.3 no harm would be done. Checked the firmware version and sure enough, it says 2.2. Gonna keep it there till a perm root for 2.3 comes around.
Root it right now you idiot.

Just install one of the many custom gingerbread roms once its rooted, you never have to take on ota to update your phone, thats the best part of rooting, once its rooted upgrade or downgrade your os when ever you want, i rooted on 2.2 still have the eng bootloader and im running the most packed sense gingerbread roms for the shift its almost 3.0

Yeah I will probably keep the stock ROM for a while with only a very basic root. I can ignore the OTA as long as I want, right? I won't wake up one day with 2.3 installed without my permission will I?

No, you'll have to manually accept the update. There's actually a way to turn off the ota notification, its just been so long since I've used a Sense ROM I don't remember exactly where it is in settings.

Just go to settings/system updates/ htc software update/ turn off automatic system check
Just root, then flash a rooted version of the stock 2.3.3 ROM. Then you have the latest stock and perm root.
