Did you install HTC Sync first ,so the drivers install on your computer?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787304

Follow those instructions. Be sure to follow the instructions for how to install the modified hboot drivers if you're using windows. Its crucial. Also, be sure to disable antivirus, and also make sure nothing else that's running on your machine can communicate with your phone via USB. In my experience with unrevoked I had to uninstall HTC sync.

i finally rooted with the unrevoked3....i have s-off, so do i still need to run unrevoked forever???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
No, unrevoked forever was to give you s-off [if you were using the previous versions], but was incorporated into unrevoked3.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
A good thing to do with ROM Manager is to uninstall it....

Rom Manager has its uses... (fix permissions) but in the case of backing up, restoring, flashing get RA and forget about RM or clockwork.

Are all replacements being sent with 2.3.3 now?

I might be stuck in this broken root boat as well. My phone's power button stopped working, and I didn't even stop to think that unrevoked3 might be broken with the new OTA. I'm being sent a replacement on Monday or Tuesday...

I PRAY that it is shipped with 2.2.

Does anyone know that the replacements are shipped out for sure with 2.3.3 now? OR does anyone know if the unrevoked team is working (or is even aware that the new ota breaks unrevoked for that matter) on another exploit?

I agree i ordered my replacment a long time before 2.3.3 came out and as soon as i saw a brand new pphone in the new box i went oh shi* is it going to be 2.3.3 pre installed they said NO its being recalled and there having problems with updates it should run 2.2 and bam 2.3.3 when i power the phone on :( I too am just waiting till the 24th for my 3D evo I figure there wont be root till then anyway but i agree it sucks :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wifflepig:
What I would suggest is sticky-ing a thread that mentions this (2.3.3 EVO Root Status Update) - which someone can update and keep fresh.

It would prevent 9000 posts being made about it, and could make a single source for someone to come look at - instead of 80 threads with 90 replies each, with 90% of those being crass bastards and their condescending comments that isn't helpful to the community one bit.

I don't doubt one bit that the bootloader that's in the Evo 3D boxes right now, on their way to stores - is also the same bootloader that came with the 2.3.3 OTA update - meaning it's a locked bootloader, and can't access recovery.

So - something *will* have to be done, or the Evo 3D won't be very receptive to rooting and the like, as well.

It just takes patience. Wait for the folks smarter-than-me to figure it out. Or for HTC to unlock the bootloader in an update, or something to that effect.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unknownforce:
Here's an interesting tidbit: Too ****ing bad, Deal with it.

Are you paying the devs? Are they making ANYTHING by taking their FREE TIME and working through hours and hours of trial and error, searching for an exploit to allow for root access to be gained?

They have Jobs, Families, Bills, Hobbies, Personal Lives that they already have to deal with, just like nearly everyone else here. They'll get it cracked as soon as they can.

You have

no right

to be so demanding. Sit down, shut up and wait like everyone else. Quit whining like a baby because you ****ed up and either broke your root or broke your phone and had to get a replacement and now have a non-rooted phone. It's not the devs fault.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdazy:
hi again! you going to start another three threads whining about this, again?

shall I get your account disabled a 4th time? (again, the answer is yes)

generally, you seem to be a witty person, and if you let go of the issue, you would likely make an... interesting forum member. too bad about the spamming.

In case anyone doesn't know about this fella, he took the OTA knowing there is no root method for it yet. because "Sprint can tell if I am rooted, and will kill my warranty", or some such tinfoil hat wearing nonsense.

Then, for the last four days, has proceeded to create multiple threads on this "issue", spamming this board with insinuations that XDA devs are lazy, and "not giving him what he deserves". His account gets banned, creates a new one to do the same thing. this I believe is his 4th, perhaps 5th account.

I just used the stock RUU for 3.70 and downgraded from 4.24. I wasn't rooted when I updated back in June, and the RUU I flashed allowed me to downgrade. Once I was running Froyo again, I just used Unrevoked. Hope that helps for you.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
You guys do know that these guys wont go on developing forever on the EVO especially since there is something newer out. Hey all the same developers on the Evo were developing for my Touch Pro and Diamond. Should I go into those forums and be mad that there are not more roms and updates for TP or Diamond. People, its called progression and things happen. Now what you can do is get on Google, your local library or take a class and learn about Linux/Android system and develop for people like you or SHUT UP and wait.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandamaja:
Can you elaborate on this? People all over this forum are claiming there is no way to downgrade but you're claiming to be able to and quite simple at that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjgrantham:
He was able to do it only because his bootloader was already unlocked (S-OFF)

He should have clarified that.

If you are S-ON, you can't downgrade yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pandamaja:
That's what I figured, but he also claimed to be unrooted when he updated. Perhaps he was rooted at some point in time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sivarticus85:
No my bootloader was s-on when I did this. I'm not sure if this matters, but I was rooted previously, then flashed the stock 3.70 RUU to unroot, upgraded to 4.24 OTA, flashed the 3.70 RUU again to dowgrade then used unrevoked to root again. Would anywhere in these steps allow me to circumvent security to allow this? If so, my apologies for thinking this would work. All I know is I thought I'd lost root when I flashed the 4.24 OTA.

EDIT - I did not flash this RUU thru AmonRA, it's an executable file that you run with Windows while the phone is plugged in. Just clarifying.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omgadroid:
Can you link the files so i can test this myself im bored
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:
although you run the RUU you still have to run the s-off tool or you will have a stock 3.70 with s-off. quite sure he did not boot into bootloader after in his mind unrooting
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sivarticus85:
Playya is right. I totally forgot about the S-on/off tool. Well maybe for the sake of the OP he can still try this if he is still s-off. I'm at work right now so I'll post a link to the RUU I used when I get home tonight. Sorry about the confusion. Just trying to help out :)

I was wondering if anyone had tested this method. I know about the s-on tool and was curious cause he said it worked without it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sivarticus85:
It does work I just did it in June. I swear I thought I was S-on when I did it, but perhaps I was wrong. I'm guessing as long as you have S-off it can work. Just make sure you're running a ROM with an EVO base and not a port and it should work for you. I get off work at midnight eastern time so I'll share the RUU I found around then. If you need help knowing how to run the RUU I'd be glad to walk you through it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wfrandy:
My guess is that when you unrooted you did not run the s-on tool, so even though you were unrooted, you were still s-off. In which case you could RUU back to a previous version from the GB update and re-root. For those that are not s-off though, the bootloader included with the GB updates are not able to be downgraded.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playya:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Every manufacturer locked down this generation of phones and prior, not counting the Nexus line. The move towards unlocked bootloaders is a new development, and one that HTC has signed on to. They haven't delivered yet, but I think it's unfair to say that you'll never buy an HTC phone again over this.

Keep in mind that these are security exploits, and if aside from the fact that we use them to gain root access ourselves, patching them is NOT a bad thing. Malicious software could potentially use them to gain root access as well. That's part of the reason moving towards easily unlockable bootloaders is such a big step. We won't need to have these widely distributed security exploits floating around.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkkarny717:

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimpTheChimp:
I need to root and then update my wife's Eris to try to make it run a little bit better. I already use CM7 on my Incredible, but I know the Incredible is a much faster and more powerful phone than the Eris.

So I wanted to ask: Of the rooted ROMS here, which runs better on the Eris - Froyo or Gingerbread? (Better being faster and/or more stable)? Based on that, which ROM would y'all recommend for her phone? Again, I am looking for something that is stable, at least as fast as the old 2.1 version she is using (if possible), and allows her to run newer software without issues.

Any help appreciated. I want to get her on an updated ROM ASAP. Thanks!

Gingerbread ROMS have always ran a lot better on my phone than froyo. They just seem to be much more smooth and snappier. Shed's GSB 3.5 is probably about as stable a ROM as your gonna find.
