how do u get superuser app ? from the market ?
[EVO 4G General] fuzzy_wuzzy1:
OKAY so this is how it worked for me:

i uninstalled htc sync.

installed the drivers on the revolutionary.io instruction page thing

plugged in my phone in htc sync mode

downloaded revolutionary 0.4pre3

started it

put in my serial on the revolutionary.io website and got the beta key

put in the beta key

pressed enter...

it like instantly said my phone was rooted and said "going into fastboot" or whatever

IT STILL SAID S-ON

then cmd prompt said "restarting fastboot"

then BOOM it was S-OFF

lalalalala now im happy.

idk if this helped anyone lol
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
It's not a market app. Go to

http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip
[EVO 4G General] HipKat:
So, this is real??? YOU guys are getting root now????

Congratz!!!

I suggest MIUI, btw!
[EVO 4G General] waterbound:
Went ahead and installed the RUU and used this to root. Worked perfectly. Great job for all those that needed it! It couldn't have been any easier! Great work.
[EVO 4G General] macmillan.23:
Im still having an issue with that as well. I get to a point where i am told to plug in phone to continue usb driver installation and its like my phone is not recognizing that usb debugging is on. It is on and it is set to charge only. Im not geting the notifications notifying me they are on like i normally do when i plug in usb (even though notifications are on)...... Im lost at ho to get these installed.
[EVO 4G General] rcijamal:
then what ? store it to the sd card ??
[EVO 4G General] kalel_293:
this is my first time rooting with evo....how do i install amon ra?
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
Did you try running the HTC driver install under fastboot usb in the bootloader (power off phone, then volume down + power button. Click on fastboot. Bootloader should say fastboot usb). See if that helps.
[EVO 4G General] solidwater:
I'm on a macbook air w/o virtualbox. Will it work for me to just run the linux executable?
[EVO 4G General] MaxCarnage:
Ironic that the day after I get a Nexus and give my wife my EVO a root method is released. ;)

Oh well, I'm happy for you guys. Get your ROM flash on!
[EVO 4G General] Evo4gLI:
No, I don't....I just go to that link, download it, put it on my sdcard, and then install from recovery?
[EVO 4G General] rcijamal:
ok thanks .....someone should put the step on this firum so people like me wont get confused ...
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
That's correct.
[EVO 4G General] rcijamal:
I still having trouble turning S-off/rooting my HTC evo

Can some send me the insructions on the right way to root/turn s-off. I have the revoltionary software, but it will not sent to caroline and aborts the process someone please help
[EVO 4G General] Evo4gLI:
Awesome, both Busybox and TiBackup are working now....so now all I should have to do is backup whatever I want and then start checking out ROM's right?
[EVO 4G General] ZombiiBite:
S-Off and root successful, big props to the devs!!! Now to figure out what Rom to run lol
[EVO 4G General] romagnus:
worked for me, thank you very much everyone involved! and thanks for the superuser link too!
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
Correct again. Everything should work fine now.
[EVO 4G General] mxl180:
Me the EVO noob just rooted and installed Custom Recovery.

Here are noob instructions for other noobs like me.

1) Per the 1st Post

"http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe 2. Put phone in full boot, usb debugging on , charge only. 3. Uninstall HTC Sync if installed. "

Also download AMON RA.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705026#

you need the PC36IMG.ZIP and put it on the card as is.

2) download evolution

http://revolutionary.io/

3) After installing the htc driver, run the revolutionary.exe

4) code is displayed on the screen. Put that code in http://revolutionary.io/ and it will give you the code for the revolutionary.exe.

Let it do it's thing... a few minutes.

5) when it's done it will ask you to you want to install clockwork recovery. From other post, don't. We will Install the AMON RA. When you're in hboot it will ask you if you want to update, YES. So it installs AMON RA.

6) if you goto recovery this is the AMON RA. Make a nandroid backup so you can recover any changes made after this point.

ok

Here's where I am now.

Update. Install superuser by flashing the zip.

http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip

I'm going install busybox from marketplace - must launch it then install it again.

Then find a nice rom. Put the downloaded roms in the sd card and install from the Recovery. You should NANDRIOD backup then WIPE everything (before installing rom)

My instructions maybe slightly off... i'm running it back through my head to remember!
[EVO 4G General] rcijamal:
thnaks but when I run the "revolutionary.exe', its says it cant sent to "caroline" and then aborts. what does that mean ?
[EVO 4G General] mxl180:
not sure.. first time I ran it didn't even get to that point.

I ran it again and successful.
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
Very detailed, however download the superuser app from

http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip

It is not on the market.

Copy it to your sdcard and flash it from your RECOVERY menu in the bootloader (power off phone, volume down + power button, select RECOVERY, flash zip from sdcard,...
[EVO 4G General] mxl180:
My apps (titanium and busybox) are saying i'm not Rooted.

I installed superuser and busybox. Am I missing anything?
[EVO 4G General] macmillan.23:
This seemed to work..... but even now the computer and usb are not communicating correctly outside of the bootloader. I read somewhere it may be because im not using the htc micro-usb that came with phone..... The computer will charge my phone with this cord but i cant get it to mount or the computer to recognize it?
[EVO 4G General] ZombiiBite:
did you flash the file to give you root from the revolutionary website?
[EVO 4G General] mxl180:
doing it now.
[EVO 4G General] inifekt:
I'm a very sad panda. I was happy to see root come to the EVO 4G, but greatly saddened that it does not support the Japanese EVO.
[EVO 4G General] Evo4gLI:
I'm installing CM7 now...hopefully it works!!! I've been waiting since I got my EVO to get root!!!!
[EVO 4G General] piscesjoey:
I damn near lost my breath when I saw the numerous threads in here about root being achieved, MikG here I come!
[EVO 4G General] twiztidvandal417:
:-)

Successfully obtained s-off and root with revolutionary, also installed amon ra. everything went perfect, created a backup now so I can flash a new rom! If I can do it anyone can as im not that experienced with root/flashing :-) evo owners enjoy!
[EVO 4G General] trim81:
Sweeeeeeeet
[EVO 4G General] firket2000:
I stained s-off on my friends evo and flashed decks rom now when I boot it up it just sits on the splash screen and doesn't fully boot. What should I do to get it working?
[EVO 4G General] Evo4gLI:
Here's a stupid question, but I'm going to ask it anyway just to be sure. After I install CM7, I've got no contacts or anything, so I just redownload TiBackup and restore from the backup I made before right?
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Contacts should be stored on your gmail account and redownload when you relogin, but yes.
[EVO 4G General] steve19137:
Please please please go back and look at the first post if you need help getting this to work and such. I updated it with instructions on how to successfully get root and a recovery. There are instructions for those who need to use Titanium. But you have to read.
[EVO 4G General] shortydoggg:
Did you do a nandroid backup before flashing CM7? If not, then your contacts were not backed up in titanium, and may be lost if they were not saved to your google account or sdcard.
[EVO 4G General] LiL xSOULJAx:
Thank you so much , it worked ! AHHH finally ! Back again to kick ass ! Although i have a feeling Sprint will use these serial numbers to check if you rooted your phone but who gives a damn, HOUSTON WE HAVE ROOT :D
[EVO 4G General] Evo4gLI:
Yes, a Nandroid backup was the first thing I did....but I don't know how to get stuff back from that or TIB.....I can't find the market in CM7, and I don't know how to start getting stuff like contacts and emails back.

OK, just saw that Google Apps can't come prepackaged, so that explains where the market and stuff is.....This should make things easier LOL. Still working on figuring out how to get my apps back.
[EVO 4G General] dsotm82:
How do you think Sprint is going to get the serials?
[EVO 4G General] cdsbj6508:
Stuck on Waiting for fastboot. I've read the entire thread and followed all suggestions such as put phone on HTC Sync, installed PDA.net and so forth and everytime I try I get stuck on waiting for fastboot. Anybody else has a suggestion?
[EVO 4G General] pandamaja:
I'm also getting an 'Invalid Beta Key' message before it aborts. (yes, I know its case sensitive and yes, I'ver tried many many times. No typos )
[EVO 4G General] freshprincepayroll:
Works Great for Me!!!! Thanx Donating In a Few!!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] dsotm82:
Using the right S/N? pull the battery and use the one on the bottom that just says S/N
[EVO 4G General] Khilbron:
I just want to point out that you don't need to pull the battery to get your serial number, when you download rev.io and run it with your device attached it provides you the serial number to plug into the site for your beta key just let it sit at the prompt asking for your key while you go to the website to get your beta key.
[EVO 4G General] ~CR7~:
Correct, Ive done that,.. Ive got the beta key, but when i type it in, it says its invalid.
[EVO 4G General] Evo4gLI:
For some reason, only 8 of my contacts were saved!!! Is it possible to restore them from the Nandroid backup I made before?
[EVO 4G General] LiL xSOULJAx:
If you havnt heard lately, HTC was going to release a bootloader unlocker http://www.ppcgeeks.com/2011/08/04/htc-offical-bootloader-unlock-process/,

so maybe im not saying they are , but maybe there will be a leak of all the serials used sent Sprint, hey im just saying , but root makes it all worth it ! Thanks AGAIN !
[EVO 4G General] dsotm82:
You realize this root process has nothing to do with the HTC official unlock right?
[EVO 4G General] movingarrows:
Have you tried pasting the beta key straight into the command prompt?

Question.. I installed the clockwork recovery first, but now I want to install the Amon-RA, is it just a matter of putting the image on the SD card, and updating via the Recovery?
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
To Flash Amon-Ra or ClockworkMod, you can just install ROM Manager. Flash Clockwork is at the very top, and Flash Amon-Ra is at the very buttom (it says Flash Alternate Recovery). Having a broken recovery doesn't cause your phone not to boot.
[EVO 4G General] chef2:
what if there is no s/n on the phone, its a refurb?/ any other way of finding it?

thanks alot

[EVO 4G General] pandamaja:
When you unzip the package, you should have five .dll files and one .exe. make sure you run the exe from the same folder as the dll files. If they aren't there, delete the folder and re-extract the zip

This is awesome, my charging port kicked it a few months ago. I still had root so I never exchanged it. Thanks to HTC my old hero was able to charge both batteries.

That said I think I'm just going to sit back and read the forums for about a week or so to see what the people that are doing it right have to say.

[EVO 4G General] runcool:
not reading 400 posts for one thing. WHY DO THEY NEED TO KNOW OUR SERIAL NUMBER!?
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
So that it generates a key to allow you to use the program. The premise is that if something goes wrong and peoples' phones start getting bricked, you won't be able to keep using the program because they'll stop generating keys.
[EVO 4G General] Agent Droid:
need help, i have S-off. When asked to download and flash clockwork i said yes...nothing happen. im on white screen with fastboot usb, and can select bootlaoder,reboot, reboot bootloader, and power down....

okay so im a total noon wipe, been at this long enough...forgot something so simple!!! got it!
[EVO 4G General] joshua.loiselle:
this actually worked .... have been trying for days since i got my newly refurbished evo in the mail from sprint ... (bricked my old one... my fault)

just so everyone knows you have to use the serial number of the phone that you are going to root not just any serial number.... i tried to use my old serial number (my new one didnt have one on it being a refurb) once you get it though it will say the serial number so you can re put it in and get it to work!
[EVO 4G General] Product F(RED):
Doesn't matter. Reboot normally, download Rom Manager from the Market. Scroll down and click Flash Alternate Recovery. It flashes Amon-Ra which is MUCH better than Clockwork.
[EVO 4G General] potna:
i created a new folder on my desktop and i extracted all the contents of that revoulctionary zip into thjis folder. i think you need all those files unzipped to the same place where the exe is going to be extracted to
[EVO 4G General] Agent Droid:
So im trying to get into bootloader, power phone down. Then press hold power and volume down....nothing?
[EVO 4G General] civicboy1791:
Which ROM?
[EVO 4G General] potna:
just thought id share, from the moment i saw the title of the thread about root being possible until i was done it took me about 35 mins, and i most of that time i was reading before i begun to root my evo.

the first post is a pretty good tut except for a few things:

the htc sync thing has always been needed to be selected, maybe dumb luck for me.

and i think its unclear at what point is your evo rooted.

i think when you flash that su???????.zip thing is when your rom truly gets the ability to let the user be logged in or start to have "root" permissions, but i could be wrong

i already had super user installed from the market but it didn't work until this revolutionary tool was used on my evo.

oh and the serial is caps sensitive and there is a space or two then some more charaters, i skipped this space and everything after it and it took my serial.

first app i installed that requires root is adfree, was it able to run because i flashed that su??????.zip alone? or was it because i also installed super user from the market?

anyways i dont care if any responds to my question i really just wanted to share how easy this was. just follow the isntruction

I got as far as "waiting for fastboot". Then I get a recovery screen. I have no idea where to go from there or how to flash the superuser. I don't think I have s-off yet. What do I do. I think I have done everything right so far. Any help?
[EVO 4G General] cdsbj6508:
I've been at this for about 3 hours and asked question after question and no help. So I'll ask one last time, I'm stuck on waiting for fastboot can someone anyone help me with this!
[EVO 4G General] Evo4gLI:
Does your screen say S-OFF on the top line when you go into the boot screen? If yes, make sure you flashed the custom recovery, then put your phone in disk drive mode, download the superuser file, then copy/paste it onto your SD, and run it from the recovery screen. Then you can install Busybox, then Titanium Backup to save everything, then flash your custom ROM of choice. At least that's what I did, and I'm all set and done.
[EVO 4G General] civicboy1791:
how long did it stay on the white htc EVo screen after reboot?
[EVO 4G General] Prodigyofwealth:

[EVO 4G General] civicboy1791:
I really wanted Synergy, but it was still on that screen after like 25 minutes
[EVO 4G General] neopanther:
I'm lost myself, but I DO know you need to extract the file to a folder. Then try running the exe from the folder you extracted it to. That's how I got mine to work. I noticed you can paste your key into the box by right clicking on the top left corner of the box. My problem is I'm in the white recovery screen WITHOUT s-off. I have the superuser on my memory card but don't know how to flash it. Thanks for the help, but I'm still stuck.
[EVO 4G General] Evo4gLI:

I got a spec of dust under my screen. Anyone else have this problem?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ducter:
Not as of yet, back in my Nexus One days I did have that issue though and the fix was pretty simple.

Hold the phone by the edges and squeeze it a bit, if you hear like a clicking sound the seal between the glass and or digitizer and phone body is loose. Grab your wife's hairdryer (yes she will stare at you, I find it best to stare back as if to say whatcha ya looking at..sometimes that works however ymmv) and heat up the corners where you heard the click sound then squeeze them together for 15-20 seconds.

What I did though was sent mine back and as soon as my new one came I fixed it. Never had an issue with it since.
