Got Root? EVO 4G Rooting Instructions Released | Android News, Reviews, Applications, Games, Phones, Devices, Tips, Hacks, Videos, Podcasts - Android Police

[TUTORIAL] How To Root The HTC EVO ~ Part-1 \0/ - xda-developers

and on another android forum. every thread is huge with a TON of people having problems and answers scattered everywhere. is there ONE place with an updated guide for windows and mac or just mac that officially roots so i can install custom roms?

what about downgrading? i've been bouncing all around to different forums and guides and none are clear. :thinking:

The XDA thead by toast also says his root doesn't allow custom roms but i've seen custom roms mentioning toast? :thinking:
 
the update that came out on launch day is the .6 update. you do not need to downgrade in order to root your phone and install custom roms.
there is not a single reason for you to downgrade.

just follow the directions on android police and enjoy the new fun with your evo

do those instructions install the superuser app? i saw a comment on there that said it didn't.

my other question is why is there a second video if the first one says you are rooted? :thinking: is the second video installing the superuser app?

the second part was just to show you an easy way to get into Recovery....the rooting part was easy, but to get into recovery window was hard....i had to go thru the second part to be able to install the ROMs that pple made :( after going thru this i didnt have to install the SDK...to think about it i didnt have to use "adb commands"
