Well there's been a lot of people waiting for this and it is currently confirmed to successfully root newer phones. Last I heard, however, the beta was recently closed but expected to reopen soon. So those with newer models and looking to root, keep an eye on the unrevoked page and their twitter and you'll soon be rooted. Enjoy.

Update: Here is the link if you want to check it out. This is still in beta testing! If you are not feeling daring, just wait for the "official" release - it should come soon since it sounds like the beta is going well.

Update2: changed the link to the current one (thanks ovrrdrive).

I am so siked for this!

Now I can put off that manual root that I have been researching lately... Good thing I have hboot 2.2

Here's hoping that the beta is back up by the end of the weekend!

I was just about to go through the manual root method to get rid of the bloatware and underclock, but this news will make me wait.

shandroid

is there any reason to update unrevoked if you're already rooted on 3.6?

wake69

no

didn't think so but thanks

It didn't work for me. I have the 2.10 HBoot. Hopefully it comes out of beta soon and works for 2.10!

EDIT: I did notice that the bootloader now shows S:Off on my phone. Does that mean that all I need to do now is install a custom ROM and I'm fully rooted?

Is there a good stock rooted ROM out there for the new update? (I basically only want root to delete bloatware and run wireless tether; other than that, I'd like my phone stock).

Thanks!

The question is do you have a recovery method installed??? If not, then the answer to your question is "No"! You can't flash any custom ROMs without a recovery. Have you tried installing root only apps to see if they work? You might be in a "soft root" state which might allow you to use root only apps

Do you mean its been working on the 2.02?

No...haven't you heard of hboot 2.2? Strange...

Nah just playing. My mistake. 2.02

I'm a newbie and finally rooted my Hboot 2.02 and got the superuser icon with the new Unrevoked 3.3 !!! What are the settings on the Evo phone for tethering and hotspot capabilities ? Are the settigs the same ???

Sky King

Best place to start is to download the android tether app from the guys that have been doing the google code thing... it's on the Android Market and called "Wireless Tether for Root Users" You don't use the Sprint app.

Sky King

YES! Downloaded the BETA (beware!) unrevoked and ran it, worked like a charm on my /Stock Sprint 3.70/BL 2.02/HW 0003 EVO.

I like how someone in another forum said "Rooting will forever change your relationship with the device." So true, the moment that unrevoked said "done" it is like the device changed ownership from Sprint to me. It used to be Sprint's gadget with my phone number on it, now it's my gadget with Sprint's account on it.

I just wanted to throw my experience into the mix. The beta with my 2.10 hboot worked, i think. I havent loaded a rom but I now see the superuser permissions icon and my hboot says s-off.

Hunterbeav

congrats, where did you get the hboot drivers from

Worked for me.

Done from a Linux Box
Flashed Ava Froyo Z1 ROM
Hotspot, Tether and HULU working.

THX!!

Here's a link to the only thread I saw at XDA talking about this. Some people are still having problems with it. I would suggest waiting for the final from unrevoked if you're not comfortable with this.

I don't know if I can either.

By the way, the link in the OP is dead now as was mentioned in the post at XDA. However, being keen in the way of the internet ways I was able to deduce that if the RC2 link is dead and outdated that they might just change it to RC3. Here's the updated link:

unrevoked3 v3.30-rc3 beta testing

jimbomcgommy

So if I have already loaded the HBOOT drivers can I just go ahead and download the reflash.exe and go from there?

ovrrdrive

I haven't been able to see for sure if the directions for the older version work in the new. I just joined the irc to get some feedback. There are plenty of people in it but only about 3 actually talking... lol

jimbomcgommy

What is the link to join the irc?

ovrrdrive

"Please join the IRC -- irc.freenode.net, #unrevokedtest -- for more details."

From the RC page...

Brian Rubin

Hey, question, the directions for the hboot windows USB drivers show that the device manager should show "Android Bootloader Interface," whereas mine shows "Android Composite ADB Interface." Can I still use those to root my phone?

Hunterbeav

Can someone tell me what windows hboot drivers they are using with this beta version of unrevoked. Thanks

K, NM, I can report that I just rooted my 003 Hboot 2.02 EVO with the Unrevoked beta. Yay!

Cougs_83

Used the updated link to download the beta from the top of this thread. There is another user that posts a link discussing the beta version. He says it beta is a bit glitchy and it doesn't give the phone enough time to reboot. If you push the file button in unrevoked it pauses the program. when the program says rebooting press file until the phone starts to boot up again. All you need to do is pause it until you hear the PC detect your phone is connected. I did this and have the hboot 2.10 and new 004 version. Worked first time. I tried 6 times before pausing and it kept failing at different points. I am now submitting this post via my new free wireless hot spot connection. Yeah!

Cougs_83

Also a few people have asked about Hboot drivers. I used the existing hboot drivers that I installed before I found out the previous version of unrevoked wouldn't work for me with my updated evo. They are the drivers on wiki. didn't download anything new.

roy.money

Beta version worked great! One thing for me, had to un-root z4 root method first. Thanks for the great work!

Hunterbeav

did you get a successful root using the old Windows hboot drivers

anderson620

Just used the beta and it worked the second time.(3.7, 2.10u) First time it told me that my firmware was too new, and didn't try rebooting phone. Second time I paused the app during reboot and it worked like a charm! I like the little note in there by the way; the status bar says, "I'm making note here; HUGE SUCCESS!" or some such. Thanks a ton everyone!

Link to IRC and the latest beta

i am new and need to know how to root my phome i have the 2.02 do i need to hook it to my comp. with a cable or is it a one touch mode

Cougs_83

Yes. I used the old drivers just ran the beta unrevoked with success.

Cougs_83

That is the same message I was getting as well the first 6 times until I used the pause method.

jkrpec

can someone help so i dont mess up my phone

jkrpec

I am new and need to know how to root my evo I have the 2.02 and don't want to mess it up. Please help.

Cougs_83

You will need to hook it up to your computer. I assume you have windows? Use the beta link in this thread and select the type of operating system that you have. You will also need the USB Hboot drivers from unrevoked. you can find it on the unrevoked site follow the instructions to install the drivers. Its simple they have screen shots. Once the driver is installed correctly. Just open and run the beta unrevoked. From what I understand with the 2.02 you shouldn't have to worry about pausing unrevoked. I think you will be fine. When unrevoked says done you are good to go!

jkrpec

which drivers do i load and do i keep my phone on charge only or disk drive

bizarrogreg

It looks like unrevoked is just about to release their new one click method. I would wait for that.

I did it the long way, but there is more risk, and you are likely only days away from a much easier root.

jiggy79

Does anyone have an idea will the full version of unrevoked 3.3 will be out for 3.70 because I'm still on unrevoked 3.2 on 3.29...It sounds like the beta still has potential bugs in it.

jkrpec

cant get the drivers to do shit

jkrpec

i went to unrevoked and drivers will not work for me

anderson620

Thank you Twitter!

J-Bert

Ok, so I followed the directions and my phone is still on the HBootUSB screen. Can I re-boot the phone or what?

Nikkoli

Anyone know if this new version will backup your wimax radio properly?

Mr. Ed

jkrpec
