Root HTC EVO 4G 2.3.3 root

[ocnbrze]

ok im pretty new to all of this... i looked for hours to try to find a way to root my evo and came across a bunch of different methods but one thing i noticed was alot of them are for gingerbread... what is gingerbread and how do i know if i have it already? someone please help!!! thanks.

ok first we need to know what is your hboot? so power off (you might have to uncheck fastboot. settings/apps/uncheck fastboot) next press and hold power+vol down. this will take you to the hboot screen. at the top it will tell you what your hboot is.

if your hboot is 2.10 or less then use this guide:

if it is hboot 2.15 or 2.16 then use this guide:

He already has s-off, so isn't he already rooted?

oops thanx nick. i just read his last post so that was my bad.

weird though as he has s-off but the hboot should be different. it should be 6.16 or 6.17.

Might have been one of the rare cases where a rooted phone accepted the Gingerbread update but didn't turn the security back on. I think I remember reading of a few cases where this happened back when GB first went OTA.

Or he rooted it with unrevoked, I thought I read that if you rooted with unrevoked your hboot would be different than if you rooted with revolutionary.

Good deal, I told you folks would be here to help.

Read the guide that Mike posted. That is the best option to get your phone rooted. Read the guide several times, download all the files listed. If you have any questions, or get confused just let us know where you're stuck, we'll get you going.

@ Mike, I advised in a PM to get a thread started to recieve help. I could have helped from PM, but the community at large is a better way to get things done.

is there a question in your post? do you have an issue? trying to unroot? the more you say the better we can help

 

[jdiot21]

I have tried and tried to root my phone with no avail. I am unable to generate a token using command prompt. I used to be able to root my evo with no problem but then it was having problems and basically my data wasn't working and wouldn't work until I updated my software. This is what shows up when I get to the hboot screen (with the down button and then power button at the same time)
