First off I would like to say that this took hours and hours compiling different information on the internet to figure this out. I do not take credit for any of the exploits or anything else in this. I am simply Writing the tutorial on how to use everything correctly to achieve root on a HTC Rider (HTC EVO 4G+)
Step1) go to Welcome to HTCdev and follow the guide to unlock your bootloader. Very simple instructions. You will need the following prior to unlocking your boot loader:
1.The Google Android SDK - Android SDK | Android Developers
2. Java Runtime Environment - java.com: Java + You
3. HTC Sync - HTC Help Center
Step2) Download HTC EVO 4g+ adb and recover image from - HTC EVO 4g+ adb and recovery.rar
Unzip HTC EVO 4g+ adb and recover to the place of your liking I chose C:\
Enable USB debugging on your HTC EVO 4G+
Open a command prompt start>run>CMD
Restart the phone into HBOOT and select FASTBOOT
Plug phone in via usb.
Input the following command CD C:\adb
then type the following command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Reboot phone.
Step 3) Turn on phone and copy [COLOR=#ff00]su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned.zip[/COLOR] from HTC EVO 4G adb and recovery to the root of your SD card in your phone.
Restart phone into Hboot then choose BOOTLOADER
From BOOTLOADER choose RECOVERY
Once in RECOVERY choose Install zip from SD CARD using the camera button on the side of the HTC EVO 4G+
You then choose [COLOR=#ff00]su-2.3.6.3-efgh-fixed-unsigned.zip
[/COLOR]
It will then move you to a menu that has a large amounts of -NO's and one that says -Yes then the file name choose yes again with the camera button.
Once installed simply use the back button untill you see the option reboot.
Once rebooted you should have SU installed along with full SU privileges.
Sorry for the disorganized manner of this tutorial as this is the first one I have ever written and I just did this my self for the first time.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
I did this on a HTC EVO 4G+ with HBOOT 1.43.0000,Android 2.3.4,Software number 1.47.1010.4,Kernel version 2.6.35.13-gAD1A583.
