PSFreedom enables homebrew on PS3, called jailbreak.
I would like to see a port of PSFreedom to EVO, DocMon/Kakaroto managed to get the PSFreedom working on the Desire/Nexus One, both use the same usb of the EVO, but I don't have the knowledge to get it working on the Evo.
Here's more info

Excellent I was just about to ask this same question. Since its seems to already have been done over on the Nexus One/Desire forums.
Has anyone tried to just use the methods described in the Desire and Nexus One forums on our EVOs?

I tried, evo freeze on htc white boot screen. BTW running CM6.
Damn. I was going to give it a try but I guess I will wait. They were saying that ROM needs to be Sense Free in order to work. I have Fresh right now. Maybe I will flash a NonSense ROM and try.
How did you run the boot.img? Do you need to have an unlocked bootloader for this as in S-OFF or is using the eng hboot the same thing.
I run it using the fastboot method first, then flashing the signed zip, no luck with any of them. If you use the fastboot method you don't loose anything but if you flash it, you have to flash the rom again.
Also hoping for this. Seems that it may only work with CM6 since vanilla Android is needed.
I haven't followed the entire thread but I would assume the kernel changes could be implemented in a.Sense kernel. When I get time ill try to do it.
Ok thanks a lot. I mainly use CM6, so a vanilla requirement wouldn't be a problem. I just saw it mentioned in the other thread that it wasn't possible with the Desire Sense.
Anyone try cm6 with the n1 ko file yet

i wish i knew how to do this stuff.. id love to help out.
i dont think using a kernel compiled for another phone is going to work for us.. something made just for the evo is needed.

Yes, it needs to be compiled against an Evo kernel. DrMon has been working with another guy on IRC on it but they have run into problems with it. They need someone experienced with Evo kernels to help out.
That's great news, let's see if any of the kernel guru here can help him.
Do you have the irc address so I can lurk a bit?

They claim to be working on an app for all phones, with choice between psfreedom and psgroove, with a beta release to testers end of this week.
Ios as well, seems too good to be true though.

MrDSL beat me to it...LOL!!!
Posting a suggestion like that is not going to accomplish your goal (organizing a root effort) or help get 2.2 rooted any sooner.
You became the owner of this thread when you hit the "post new thread" button, you have the OP to do with as you wish. This thread isn't going to just start filling with reports of what people have tried. If you want this thread to serve as a "status-of 2.2" thread then find out what people have tried, try some methods yourself. Post the results of your searching and rooting attempts.
If this thread does become a place where people can come and see the current status of the rooting effort it will be because you keep the OP current.
I'm rooted, and I don't know enough to help blaze this trail. I know what a few people have tried and I know what methods some think are promising but I would like to see a breakdown, similar to THIS THREAD.. well, I WAS gonna link a 2.1 Root-Effort thread that was in the Hero forum before Regaw released his guide. I tried a half dozen searches (my search-fu is not weak) and all I found were a few rooting guides and a BILLION "ROOT???" threads...
Anyway, the guy had all of the methods that he had tried and others had submitted listed in detail along with the outcome of each attempt.
Also, I imagine a list like this would help cut down on the redundant threads.
The sticky thread is already hosting a discussion about this. Some of the Unrevoked team is even there.
If someone wants to help me pay for one (haha) I'll get in on it!

Thanks a lot for your time and your effort!
Awesome, feefeeboomboom/isaac. The flipside stinks on 2.1. There is no storage space. I really really want 2.2 or 2.3 to be able to store my apps on the SD card.
I hope it you are making progress and that you stay with your GF and that she lets you play with her phone.
Any Updates?
I'm willing to help
Never deved on an android phone before, but I'm a linux admin, and I love doing custom hacks on these things. If I can be of help, let me know. Trying to see how to get the ball rolling on setting up a CM6 version for this phone right now. I'm pretty sure with the limited hardware that this phone has, CM7 would be a huge overkill -- if it would run at all.

Well, you caught me. I actually think it would run fine, but it is much easier to use the same kernel and just mod everything else. You can run 2.2 on 2.1 kernels, but you can't run 2.3 on 2.1 or 2.2. So, with that said, it's much easier for me to just take a current image, strip out the bloat, and give everyone a new version based on 2.2 that works out of the box than finding all the missing kernel modules for 2.3 and building it from there.
In short, I'm lazy, and I want to have a newer release out faster.
haha oh ok no sweat! Sorry wasn't tryin to call you out...just curious. Anything that can be done would be great! Hope you get something going soon!
I was thinking of maybe getting the flipside on te insurance program (from a backflip) but it seems like you guys are worse off than us. i cant seem o find source code on moto's site... do you guys know where it might be?
Any progress on a CM7 port? I just got my GF a flipside since she can't deal with on screen keyboards....and she previously had a backflip with CM7 lol
so I've been visiting recently on this and the cyanogen mod forums and it doesn't look like anyone has hit gold yet, or have I missed something somewhere and all the cool kids are having fun with their flipsides and I'm out in the lurch?
My wife too got this phone because of the keyboard...If no development comes soon...I think I might just try and sell it to whatever sucker wants to buy it and then head on over to Canada (eh?) and purchase a G2...
maybe soon...
Motorola is beta testing froyo right now. We may soon have a valid froyo image for the awesome development teams to work with.
The developers over at alpharevx have achieved S-Off for our device. I volunteered (eagerly) to be a guinea pig. I can confirm that it works!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEva63LEJyQ
Be sure to donate to them. They have worked extremely hard to get s-off on the newest generation HTC devices.
I'm sure that support for the inc2 will be added to their lineup in a few days.
I've been wanting to join their community and offer help with my engineering expertise but I haven't had time :S (stupid job) I just might have to donate to them instead.
This is pretty awesome. I look forward to seeing what Roms come out before I jump the gun. My phone acted weird under temproot so I want to hold off until there are devs working on ROMS and can address issues. I can't wait to see some Sense3.0 things get ported over or full blown 3.0
This is great news!
I'd be more than happy to jump the gun, be a guinea pig, lab rat, etc if they need another test subject.
PMs welcome ;D

That is awsome. I don't really post on here, but I have been eagerly reading and checking every day. Waiting for a root. Im so excited! I love the phone already, it will be even more incredible with the root. How simple is the root process? Did you have any troubles, or instant root? I read some people had to repeat steps a few times to get it.
I don't know if this is relevant to the topic but, how long do you think before we get custom roms? As great as Sense is, I like the 'standard' android look better at times :/
EDIT: Can I volunteer to be a Guinea pig?
+1 I would like to be a guinea pig too
Great, but how.
Sent from my ADR6350 using Tapatalk
It's irrelevant to be a guinea pig as of now considering there is no custom recovery, let alone roms, I've owned multiple Android phones and this is the first one i will attempt to make a rom with(i did themes back in the day for the MyTouch). I will research starting tomorrow on what to do etc (already have fedora set up on my laptop).
That is true, but hopefully they add the S-OFF function for the Inc2 to their lineup soon, so Devs can start a root, roms and etc.

We have a custom recovery that is being tested, and check the the dev section. Our first flash-able kernel is now available.
Just an off topic question, after rooting, I have heard that there are apps that basically give you tethering without paying the $20 (or how ever much it is) to do it "officially", can someone tell me if that's true or not? Thanks.
is it public for S-OFF software for download??

I will try to port this over. I don't have the dinc2 but I will see what I can do. But I would like to wait till the ROM gets out of beta. You guys have an unlocked bl of i'm not mistaken and id like to get a kernel to go along with it give me a week or two I'll start the process.
Tyler? He asked for the sense setup a opposed to blurs, and yes it will be sense setup. That well make the phone more smooth, and I don't think I can without a different kernel anyway. If you guys want this, op make this thread a poll, so I can see what I got to please if you don't mind. I'll try to get test roms out next week sometime, I already have two testers(the originals who pmd me). Check out the link for current standings of the rom. Keep in mind it is still beta on x2.
What I do need...
A themer
And any init.d scripts for boot unless you have a good kernel dev that would help for I don't have this phone.
but regardless I won't be able to start this until I get the x2 out of beta.
