Root problem rooting EVO

[corvettekid1973]

I hope someone can help me. I'm new to Android OS. I have tried to root my evo with Unrevoked a few times and it never works. I've followed directions on YouTube, and forums, it sounds simple but I can't get it. After I install it then get the done message, ill try to use apps that require root but they all say application needs root access !?!?!?

do you have the superuser app? check your apps, it looks like a ninja

 

[corvettekid1973]

No its the 1st I heard of it. It tried app installer, but now ill try superuser, should I uninstall revoked 1st ?

 

[Flanny]

No, superuser permissions is an "app" that is installed when you use unrevoked so if you did unrevoked right, you should have it...try this tutorial that I actually used last night. its very easy to follow and it gives you everything you need.

Where do I find superuser, I can't find it on the market

 

[corvettekid1973]

Oh ok thanks a lot I really appreciate the help

No problem, I was having troubles rooting before, then i found that guide and it was really easy to follow

That worked great. Will that same thing work on my brothers Samsung moment?

Just do a Simple Root and leave Unrevoked behind I does not fully unlock NAND so u r only gonna be limited to flash certain ROM's.

 

[corvettekid1973]

I'm not that deep into it where ill flash roms, I just wanted root for the WiFi weather and back up
