That's a leak. Bug ridden. And its not even the newest leak which is EH17.

I haven't seen any issues with it yet. And if you have a place for the newest version I am all eyes.

Yes, but in order to install CWM you need to root first, as you might already know. The latest one click is under development as well and its "stickied" to the top

xTMFxOffshore, your girlfriend should be aware that she's getting a leak, and I hope there's a good reason you're doing this, for your sake. I love messing with my devices when i can deal with the issues, but i wouldnt put a buggy leak on someone elses phone who may not be as open minded. Two common problems I experienced myself and read about on here were:
-random reboots. They've got a compelling theory in the works but you're messing with cpu speeds and voltages
-stock browser sucks. No way to go back a page; back button closes browser.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I know better than to even install an app on my girlfriends phone. she would blame me for anything that's wrong afterwards. no thanks
She had a thousand problems with the phone all ready it was a refurb. so I'm not too worried about it. if it causes issues, then I can root it. It was partly a reason for her to finally let me root the phone and flash a custom ROM. But we'll see how it goes. So far it runs fine for me. Plus I updated to a different modem.

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.

What are u talking about it has already gone the way of the dinosaurs. It is end of life. I like the EVO 4g but its yesterday news. It had a long life of one year.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
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
Just a thought

It seems that Android 2.3.x is only available for new customers with new devices.
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.
