Has froyo been rooted yet? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok... I'm one of the idiots that updated to froyo thinking that I would be happy with it and not miss having root. I was wrong. Fat chance that froyo will ever be rooted so maybe its time to buy a phone from someone that hasn't applied the ota. Has anyone been keeping up with the latest developments? Is there a chance that someone will manage to root froyo? I think I know three answer. I had no choice at the time. Phone was rebooting everytime I got a call while already on another call and I couldn't afford to have that happen as I was out of town on business.

Lol. I'm glad a nice and relaxed person got in before the xda mercenaries started screaming for blood.

Be patient...they are working on getting it rooted. You can check the updates in the sticky up on top.

Lol...i had the same thought.

dude relax lol...... trust me froyo will deff be rooted soon..... nothing is impossible trust me.... its a tough task but these devs are insane

Well sometimes I wonder... If all the noobs installed the ota then why would the leet devs bail them out? Wouldn't it just be easier to keep developing onto whats already been cracked? Thanks for not jumping on me

Well, what about the people that bought their EVOs with 2.2 already.
I would be a super sad panda if I was stuck with an unrooted/unrootable phone.
On the other hand, almost every EVO forum out there has a sticky of this sort: "2.2 NOT ROOTED YET!!!!"

I hope you never get your phone rooted or you brick it trying to do it. You might be the most useless tool i've seen on this board to date.

xda-developers is a community. A great community at that. People's hard work and collaboration produce great things.
Instead of crying and instructing others to "get to work", Why don't you help out and contribute to this community and offer some value so others can prosper from it too?
wow long time no see myn

Beggars can't be choosers. Either root it yourself or STFU! Besides, Gingerbread will be out in a month or 2. It will be a remake of Android where Froyo is just an update of Eclair.

I'm not really sure what you mean: I think most of the current ROM's are based on FroYo.
I think he means root froyo on a phone that wasn't previously rooted before you applied froyo. I assume he's one of those that just couldn't wait a couple hours for the rooted version of froyo, and applied the OTA update thinking it would only be a few days until Froyo was rooted, despite numerous warnings to not apply the unrooted version.
Wow sorry guys I was just being silly ..... now that I'm reading my own post. but any*hoo,, I salute all the developers. I got and still get help from the forum so don't take offense. besides I'm on fresh"s ROM now that I down graded thanks to this forum as always !!

umm what topic? you claimed you were going to do a bunch of stuff for this phone MONTHS ago, then packed up ship in the night without so much a reason why
then people call you on it...and suddenly you are back ready to help out?
the continuum would have been better off if you never had tried to play the white knight, which you are not capable of doing clearly

There's just as many hate threads about people asking for root as there are threads for asking about root lol. I swear, does anybody read anything before they post lol ?
Actually, there is root, but we're keeping it a secret from the morons that keep asking, over and over and over without doing simple 12 second SEARCH on the goddamn subject......
No Root................
I wish Stericson was our moderator.

Yes, there is root, but the devs are waiting for 53 more people to post threads asking about it before releasing the new method.
Seriously, search before posting.

You right... hey OP and anyone else that keeps asking as if people are hiding it from you....they do have root well at least the EVO 3D does maybe you should go get that phone so we dont have to keep hearing about it..

Yes there is root! But not for 2.3.3.

This was an epic flaming right here. Anyone who reads this thread should now be aware that people that actually know how to use Google and the search function here on XDA are really tired of lazy asses posting threads about not having root. Also threads asking for root.

Would you like to see this ICS ROM posted?

Over the last 24 hours I've had a few friends and beta testers test out a ROM that I've put together over at tincandroid.com and I've been told that this might be of interest to some people over here at XDA because is fast and looks great. I'm willing to share this BUT I've seen a few people post ROMs in the past only to be trash talked and I really dont' have time for that SO I want to know ahead of time
This ICS ROM is based of AOKP M4 and has a few more features that I've added for performance and a better look to it. If there's interest, I'll post it...if not then I'll just keep it on tincandroid.com
Here are some screenshots from my thread over at tincandroid.com.....

Yes, share it. There can never be too many choices.
Looks nice. Please post!
Vote Yes! But I would appoint someone to oversee your thread...like you said...you know the ****storm that comes along with it...although I know you, like me, run a tight ship and don't put up with the horses assery...either way, I'll support whatever you do, you're a stand up dude!:thumbup:

Yes it DOES rock
I have been playing with this ROM from over on Tincandroid and I can say that it does ROCK!
Smooth, runs everything, quick. And the scheme is kind of cool too.
Now........... If it only had 4G!!
See ya'
OotR
Yes. For sure post it. It would be nice to see what parts are a WIP and what's working as it should.
you got my support.
besides, most ppl on this forum are itching to flash something new just to satisfy their flasholism

[Q] Has anyone tried this root method?

I came across this when searching for G4 root. https://www.androidroot.us.com/how-to-root-lg-g4/
Has anyone tried this? If not, is there any harm in giving it a shot?
Spam. You'll see root here on XDA before some news article.
Pretty sure that app will tell you the device is not supported once you installed it and all of its malware. I would recommend to run that app in a VM environment and prepare to delete it.
I wouldn't even try it. There is no root for the G4 yet.
Thanks for the advice. I assumed that I'd see it here first when it happened.

Lame. Funny because it says it RIGHT on their front website that it has root. Marketing scheme.
Paid by the click. Genius I say. Lol

Best advice is stick with xda as they are the number 1 trusted site on my list i check the post and google everyday, so far no root. To let u know you may hear or read that there is a root method by jcase. But its not out because he and whoever is a dev working on root is making it safe for us so we dont brick our phones easy. It is really hard as i used to root the old way and boy it was a pain on the htc evo 4g. Just keep checking xda and later u will see root
