I got temp root working using the peneuter (Original version cpu instructions was wrong so use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905183 )
I managed to downgrade by re flashing the misc partition and dropping the PC49img on. So back to tmo stock rom 2.1. Unrevoked now attempts to root and see the success message then the nand error happens as hboot is the same. Still poking about so will update if i progress...

Not trying be a wise ass, but why didn't you root before, instead of whining now... I seriously don't get you guys. Maybe not being able to ever root your phone would be a valuable lesson in studying a little before jumping right in like a .....(I was going to type something here, but I would offend you, not that I care about that).

You have already offended some. Please note that not all who asks to root Froyo updated their phone from OTA or RUU, some got their phone with the Froyo firmware already in it. So please watch before you speak. Also, not all people knows about how this things works. Most doesn't even care what their phones are and will update should an update is available believing their device will make it super. Then they'll just stumble on a forum unintentionally and started knowing stuffs like these and start loving and craving to try, but may be too late. People asking these questions should only be answered Yes or No, no side comments if it's bad to hear. Anyways, they are not pushing you, as in you to do it for them. If you say NO, then they won't bother you, will they?

The problem appears when you say"no" to someone, they get it, but during the next week you see the board filled with topics from various people asking about rooting 2.2, because they can't be bothered in reading a measly 2 page topic where the problem is explained.
I agree that the people that bought the phone with 2.2 are not to blame about no knowing about it, but they are to be blamed about not reading before whining on the forum
So remember kids, google stuff before crying on the forums, this way you won't be insulted by bad people like me, that are only stating the obvious .

There shold be no one to blame in the first place because nobody committed a mistake for asking to root their phone after update. It's not a mistake, it's just that people tend to play with their phone, get more features after root, but it's not a mistake. Mistake here is to insult poor ignorant people.

No, the fact that you do something (like updating 2.2.1) without knowing the implications is a mistake, and you deserve what`s coming to you.
If you go around in life like "hurr durr a buttonz, lets push it" you are eventually gonna get burned. It doesn't take long to go around asking on Google or reading on a forum, or asking a friend what happens when you press that button. Maybe you will not find out exactly what happens when you push the button, maybe you`ll only know that starts a flame, you are responsible for getting burned. And you shouldn`t cry afterward if the injuries hurt. This example can be extended in every aspect of life and can be summarized like this THINK before you act! Some obviously don`t.
I`m not going to argue anymore, this is my final post about this subject.

How do you use the file? I downloaded the file but i dont know how to use it? instructions please
Can you please provide us with some kind of tutorial if you successed?
Thank you
I have ran completely stock and then tried to root
using UnRevoked3 method and it says it "failed to
get root. Is your firmware too new?"
I was trying to post that to another thread but I
have less post to contribute in the Developers Thread
Good to know - I was just about to ask this question.

Well I'm glad you didn't post in the development section because this isn't development is common sense! Unrevoked hasn't been updated to work for 2.3 yet.
I'm just sitting back laughing and watching all the newbies that have stormed XDA here today because you guys ONLY come on here to download things or to complain about what you downloaded got messed up or something like that......if you spend the time to read and familiarize yourself with what's going on then you'll save yourself time when things like this happen.
yea I already knew this.....I am a teacher so I explain myself like its
my first time, I try to get on other peoples level so they would better
understand this....
Today is like idiot day at XDA, comparable to Black Friday at Walmart......
I was rooted with unrevoked but had to unrooot for a repair. Got my phone back but repair center updated to the ota available. Tried unrevoked again but I get the same message and now I'm stuck unrooted.

And you have asses like this guy who flame anyone one who posts a noob question even if its in the correct section.. like its just common knowledge how to root, like the instructions come with the phone. I'm pretty sure that we were all noobs at one time and a question that may seem stupid or trivial to you may be important someone else and its nice to have some place where there is such a wealth of knowledge on the subject. And yes I'm trolling.

HTC ****ed us, the new bootloader is locked, a new root may take a while.

Wouldn't just completely blame HTC for the locked bootloader. HTC is open ro the bootloader being unlocked. Sprint is probably more the reason it's locked.
HTC Evo
Rooted, but still stock...for now
----------------------------------------
The program is designed to work, if it's not, we have a problem.
I expected this to happen today. People should research a bit. I was playing blackops and logged on xda and got overwhelmed with all of these new threads. New wimax/radios, phone not rooted, htc bootloader locked, 2.3 impressions.
Hello people! My friend has an Evo that is still on 2.1 and she wants to update to 2.3.3. The OTA isn't working (saying that there isn't an update) and when we called sprint tech support, they said that they would have to create a trouble ticket and go to the store. We called the closest store to her, and they are back up until tomorrow. I told her I could flash it manually (without rooting it)....but i should have kept my mouth shut, because I cannot find a normal 2.3.3. RUU, and am not sure if I should first up her to 2.2. then to 2.3 anyway (oops).
So now I'm on the hook, lol!
So, where can I find STOCK, NON ROOTED RUU's (I've checked the wiki)
And should I upgrade her to 2.2, then to 2.3?
Root is an option, I just didn't feel like doing it (I see Unrevoked would work for 2.1 still)
Thanks for any help guys!

Then there are a couple teenagers like me, filling in for adults
HipKat, teh roxxorz, Lithid, dased14 (who mostly hangs out in Themes and Apps), and several others provide great help. They've answered plenty of my questions before.
Lithid did SalvageMod and Freedom kernel, dased14 makes dozens of flashable zips with themes and mods, HipKat and teh roxxorz have made guides for subjects of all sorts. Everyone has their own personalities though so its something to get used to.
Believe me when I say the Evo 4G forum is one of the better ones. I frequent basically every Sprint / Verizon phone forum and I cannot stand all of the whining and fights. We have a strong developing team and plenty of people qualified to answer questions.
I'm just here to fill in the cracks, my knowledge is limited. The forum is a bit confusing at times, but you'll get used to it. I'm here to keep the peace and help out as much as I can.
Okay. I got off-topic, I don't see relevance in this post anymore. Glad your problem is solved

This is the main problem. Having easy root methods is all fine and good if you actually research what you are doing. There's a tool on this forum called "search"... 90% of people's questions can be answered by using this tool.

Yeah and I think this whole idea of telling everyone to get together and make a single ROM is completely retarded, in all honesty.
Part of what makes this phone great is its diverse selection of ROMs. All these posts about needing a single ROM show A) complete lack of patience, and B)likely little understanding of how the phone, kernel, root, filesystem, etc works at all.
I think bashing someone for asking a question or making a suggestion you disagree with is pathetic. You all act like you wiped the embryonic fluid out your mouth and started spouting code. I'd much rather be a noob than a snob. Do you not realize the more newcomers the better? Newcomers become old comers like the great devs we have today... so don't be a part of the problem by stiffening innovation and contribution. Be a part of the solution: be patient with pwople, encourage ideas, make helpful suggestions (like I believe they are having this discussion on the thread below this one)

so the ics collab is not a bad idea.

Well, with all due respect, suggesting or telling devs to work together is almost insulting.
Devs dont take lightly to people telling them what they should and shouldn't do. I'm not saying you're being demanding by any means, but regardless, theyll see the post, and more than likely think "Who the hell does this guy think he is, talking about how I need to work with someone else, so ICS is more complete"

I have it temporarily rooted, it loses root upon reboot, please wait until I can get a script working. I have been granted temporary root via camera. It grants temporary root via USB Debugging turned on with MTP and all that turned off. I have been able to remove VZW Bloatware... no luck on bootloader yet though.

If what you claim is true you should contact jdevs and take his help... I am sure, he can work his magic even with temp root... I doubt it though... Cuz u can't remove bloatware with temp root... So either u don't have it or u have permanent root! But again doubt that! No offence though..

Just because someone has 4 posts, and not known DOES NOT mean they are not capable of rooting a device. You are so quick to shoot someone down, if it is a fake, let it be, we don't need to here this comment every time someone claims to have found something... This forum is a discussion for who those who are interested in experimenting with their devices, no need for trolling just because someone has 4 posts and hasn't posted screenshots. If I were to discover a potential rooting vulnerability, I would not be posting screenshots, and I definitely wouldn't have the posts.

So a few things:
1. You have no way knowing if its true or not yet.
2. Didn't you drop the Turbo? Why are you even here if you don't have the Turbo anymore other than to make such trollish comments?
3. This won't be the first time someone who doesn't live on a forum accomplishes something like this.

So a few replies:
1. Deep down, yes we do. Whether you want to admit to the truth is another story.
2. Maybe get your facts straight on my business - let me enlighten you: Never had the Turbo. I'm smart enough to not buy a phone that is so locked down when I want a phone with root and/or an unlocked bootloader. If (not when) that ever happens I'll consider getting it, but chances are the '15 models are going to be out by then and the Turbo will be considered "an older phone". Right now I'm just following along on the (lack of) progress with rooting and keeping everyone in check with reality (or "trolling", if that's how you want to put it).
3. Unrelated since it isn't happening with this guy. I'd bet money he goes away just like the "VZW security rep" did in the bounty thread. I'd give you the link to his area in that thread if you don't remember him, but I'm not sifting through all the bs posted over there to find the exact location.

Regarding number 2, I posed it as a question so no need to get my "facts" straight.

That is nothing more than trolling and you know it.

Now you know the truth, in case it comes up again why I'm still floating through these (ridiculous) root / bounty threads.

Lol, maybe, but seems an appropriate response for someone going on a rant, wanting really hard to believe that this guy ACTUALLY temp rooted this phone after I called the "rooter" out on his bs. Screenshots, images, pics of the whole phone, something would be better than just "Hey guess what, I rooted it."
Don't get me wrong, I'm not voting against the phone being rooted eventually. I'm just less inclined to creme all over my keyboard without some sort of believable hard evidence.
