FAQ:
Q. Will this root the latest OTA (2.77.651.8)?
Yes. This utility supports all releases of Android for the Evo Shift[/CODE]
Q. Does this work on Linux?
Mostly. I am still ironing out a couple bugs, but since this is written in java, a large chunk of the work is already taken care of by that.[/CODE]
Q: My phone goes into a bootloop after rooting 2.3.4. Did I do something wrong?
No. That is supposed to happen. Assuming you already have the downgraded PG06IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard, you can immediately click "OK" in my utility when prompted so that it takes you to the bootloader to downgrade. If not, you need to turn off your phone, get the PG06IMG.zip on the sdcard and then manually go into bootloader (Power off/Battery pull then Power + VolDown)
