[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxsi420:
I'm not trying to complain, but I am curious.

Why is the root taking so long for 2.3.3? I got Evo on first release day, and was rooted within 2 weeks. 2.2 came out, and I want to say unrevoked had that rooted in about 2 days. Evo 3d came out, and its already has an S-off root for it. http://revolutionary.io/

I'm not a Dev, so I have no clue what is involved. To me it seems like everyone is working on the newest stuff and leaving out the older Evo's for the 3d's. I figured I'd upgrade to a 3D evo so I can have root back and remove this stupid football and nascar app, but I wasn't impressed with the 3d. I like my evo a lot more. (I personally wasn't impressed with the 3d. other then the processor.)

And before everyone jumps down my throat and says "don't apply the OTA dummy" I will let you know, I didn't. My screen had a red tint, my speaker didn't work and the head phone jack was trashed. Finally when the mic went out I was forced to take it in. The replacement they gave me was already on 2.3.3. I know better not to use OTA's :)

I'm hoping its coming soon, seems like it is. Just curious to what the hold up is and I don't have any friends who are Dev's that can shed light on this.

I too am not a developer, and also have no idea what goes into this, I just read and follow directions..LOL

However when reading about "revolution" I saw team something was thanked for "EVO exploit". So does that mean its over? Or what?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxsi420:
Do you have a link for that?

I've been following unrevoked's twitter page but nothing so far.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick N:
After waiting for the Revolutionary release today and being disappointed that the Evo 4G was not included, I regret getting rid of my Samsung Moment. :o

What I would like to know is whether it is too difficult to find an exploit for this phone, or no one wants to bother? I have a feeling it is the latter. :(

gotta be patient. i think i can smell rooting coming soon
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KIOWA69:
Agree with others that it seems like it's taking a while, but we just have to be patient, we all know that they are going to work on the newest devices first and then work on the Evo, which apparently they are finally doing but it's just taking longer than we all would like. Just have to sit back and let those guys do what they do best and it will all eventually work out and we can root our phones again.

Hi guys. I just got a replacement evo for the one i broke. i read most of this page, but i am not clear yet. can the evo on 2.3.3 be rooted. it has S-ON:(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KIOWA69:
The answer to that right now is no, but supposedly they are working on it, just monitor the different threads and other sources to keep an eye on when they do is all I can suggest.

I think I am going to get a Nexus 4G or just suck it in and go for the darn Evo 3D because its really not looking good for the Evo 4G at this point, nobody knows anything, I can root a Evo 3D & Nexus right now if I wanted to I made the biggest mistake of my life when I gave my mom my rooted EVO with MIUI (because its simple to use) thinking I could use my upgrade to buy a $29 White Evo from radioshack and root it the same day....... FAIL!!!! I am have been suffering nearly a month and and I only have 30 days to try the phone then I am stuck with it!! I really think I am going to jump ship and get a Nexus or Evo 3D at this point

EVO root

well honestly it's the closest i got to any kind of working root and i used to EVO VIEW so that all ima b having now until a root comes out for the phone. i used root check on advanced to verify root and it was all ok but but i wasnt getting any response from the phone :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJ Banks:
my 30 days ends august 3...

if there isnt one by then ill be getting the damn evo 3d. not what i want, another $170 wasted, but i need a root.

My sprint store says that they prefer the reg evo to. i wish i could keep it but, i really would like WiFi tethering free, and 2 yrs of $30, ($720) isn't very appealing either.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmartinez4:
There is no contract on the 30 thether you can cancel at any time. Pay the money till someone roots 2.3.3 then cancel the tether plan
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CJ Banks:
Wow. I didn't know that.

P.S anyone know a time frame for unrevoked root release
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxsi420:
Not as of yet. Check them on twitter, they post when they have new things that are coming out.

you can try the temp root and see if it works for you.

I dont know if I should keep the phone or return it I can sell the EVO for $200 no problem or should I return it and wait and see if something good pop up later this year???

I got an email yesterday from evo hacks and they said HTC just released the kernel for the 2.3.3 update. The email said that a permanent root should be very soon.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crxsi420:
Really? Did they post a link on their site? I can't find any info but that's promising. I'm just hating this stock ROM so, so much. It actually offends me that I have to have football and Nascar app's on my phone that I paid for.

Figured I'd be more pissed about paying 10$ a month for 4g which my area doesn't even have still (PHX,AZ). But no, this stock ROM is crap! hehe.

I'm pretty sure they added a 10 dollar premium to 3G, which would mean there's almost no difference in pricing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1stunna84:
I also got the email about HTC releasing the kernel. Let's hope for a resolution very soon!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KIOWA69:
I think people are confused, I don't think the kernel has anything to do with root as I seen links for updated custom kernels already out, probably about a week ago is when I first seen them, but again the only thing I think that's going to do is help with getting more battery life and stuff like that like they did with the other custom kernels with 2.2.

Again people are confused, you're not paying for 4G, you're paying for premium data because apparently these newer phones use more data staying updated and syncing than the older phones, I agree that it sucks but what can we do, price we pay for having top of the line devices, trust me I know, the towers in my area are so over crowded that I'm only pulling about 15kbps up and down on data, and that's with an airvana they sent me for free, only good part is that I have called and complained so much that they has issued me credits for having data issues since February.

Is it really necessary for you to be a **** and a smartass, if you don't like the thread then don't read it, people are just anxious is all, nothing wrong with that, and no ones bad mouthing any Dev about it and nothing we say or do here is going to rush or slow down the process of them getting root, people like you give these sites/threads a bad name and keep new people from asking questions and learning, end of story.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ems4ty:
Your right, and I'm wrong. Sorry to make you be a name calling individual on the defense. I'm just a noob who was frusterated while looking for pertinent information regarding the topic at hand. I wasn't looking for the complaint forum. Actually I can't and don't complain about how long its taking or even demand root access because I have no idea how it is done at the programming level and I personally thank those volunteer developers who actually do make that happen. I just think its disappointing and rude to read about people who complain about not having it soon enough or at all for that matter. I guess if you are going to complain, at least take a moment and thank a dev who is actively working on fixing your problem for free.

Anyways, I apologize for offending you and anyone else. Just blame it on another dumb noob who didn't bite his tongue any longer while patiently waiting.

On the other hand, here is some useful information for those who would like some kind of update....

It's all good and I'm not trying to argue with anyone here as it does no good, we are all here for the same thing which is to get the most up-to-date information regarding the progress of root, I just hate to see it when people start fighting over it, some people just get more anxious more than others about the situation and express how badly they want root or threaten leaving the Evo because of it, it's not going to change anything but guess they feel better expressing how they feel, so as far as I'm concerned there's no beef between us I'm just a guy that's waiting for news on the progress or root like everyone else.
