Any way to root if I accept all HTC EVO updates? - EVO 4G General

I have an HTC EVO 4G I thought I was going to swap out at Sprint. I changed my mind. I accept all updates and now wonder if I can still get root. The phone does not let me get into recovery. Can someone point me in the right direction? Here is the Software Info:
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: 2.15.00.12.19
Kernel version2.6.35.10-g94d0005

Software number 5.07.651.1 710RD
Browser version: WebKit/533.1

Thanks if anyone can help.

You'll need to root using HTC Dev. See this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771755

That's the key right there to know if you've updated.

froyo is not yet available for your country... and you better reconsider updating to froyo, because you will not be able to root...

froyo update is not available for our country. as u might know that are very few phones that HTC has officially launched in pakistan and wildfire is not in that list.
however, i would recommend you to flash a custom ROM. because after an official update to froyo, you can not root your phone.

Note 2 going back to stock - help please :)

Hi all,
I've got a GT-N7100 and I'm currently running Ditto Note 3. I struggled to find which firmware my phone was meant to run on stock. Its a South African phone so I downloaded the XFE 4.1.2 one for South Africa.
I tried installing that and in the process it lost the IMEI. I went back to DN3 and the IMEI is back and all is working. I really want to go back to stock 4.1.2. Is there something I'm doing that's wrong?
Screen when I was still on stock is the following:
Model Number: GT-N7100
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband version: N7100XXDLK7
Kernel version: 3.0.31-1071214

SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 17 10:33:53 KST 2013
Build number: JZO54K.N7100XXDMC3
Screen on DN3 is the following:
Model Number: GT-N7100
Android version: 4.3
Baseband version: N7100XXUEMJ9
Kernel version: 3.0.31-2138564

But first back up you're IMEI from the link below, since almost certainly you're gonna lose it, and restore back later.

[Q] Noob gifted phone. Can't upgrade from 4.3?

Hey there xda.
I received this Galaxy S4 from a friend of mine who I no longer have contact with. For a while, I've tried upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4 using the regular in-phone option with no luck. It goes through the download and installation and optimization of apps but it still stays at 4.3. My friend had told me he had rooted and messed with the software on the phone but that it should be fine. I just can't seem to get the automatic update to work.
When I look in the 'About Phone' option, I see the following:
Software Version: L720VPUEMJA
Hardware Version: L720.08
Model Number: SPH-L720
Android Version: 4.3
Baseband Version: :720VPUEMJA
Kernal Version: 3.4.0-1927016

How do I go about manually updating to the most recent version of Android? I'm a complete noob with this and have never done it before. Can anyone point me to things I need to download and the steps I need to follow to upgrade?

Does anyone know of any root methods? I can't live with this being stock and I want CM12. Towelroot v1 and v3 don't work, and I've seen that there's no known root methods. Maybe there's a way to downgrade?
Anyway, if you can help or at least try to, thank you a lot!
You cannot root or unlock your device at this time. Maybe in the future another exploit will be found, but it is unlikely for quite some time.
