[Q] Root for Android 2.3.3 - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How long do you think it will take for a ROOT to come out for the Android 2.3.3?

Between now and the end of time.
We don't know and asking for etas won't get you anywhere.

I don't know... but glad someone finally thought to ask!
(sike!)

i am patiently waiting. I miss my old evo rooted. I was actually given a brand new evo that had 2.2 on it and the ota showed up and without thinking i updated. So mad about that.

Thanks, I'll be patient.
I understand this is hard work and you guys are doing it all for love (or for something other than money), so I'm not going to add my voice to the chorus asking when the root solution for 2.3.3 will be ready--even though I'm a-yearning and a-craving to upgrade and re-root my phone. I'll just say thanks for now to all you geniuses for making these phones so much better!

Hope it's soon because I'm ready I just got my evo 4g yesterday and tried to superoneclick root and z4root and it didn't work.. Never thought to check and see if 2.3 can root. Damn

the more people ask, the less likely it will be done!
And if you had searched, you would have seen this has already been asked!

I bet root will be available when you stop making new accounts just to make the same thread asking the same question over and over again.
If anything, the devs are probably getting tired of the obnoxious kids in the Evo forums badgering them. Instead of trying harder, I'd give up if I were in their shoes.
Believe it or not, there are worst things than not being able to root your phone.

I just wanted to say great first post...hopefully someone will find the way to root YOUR phone because according to the 100 or so other threads, if you would have SEARCHED FIRST nobody else has been able to get it but I have faith you might be the one. So please when you get the way to root will you please share it with the rest of us! But you might wanna check the first thread at the top of the Q and A forum I think the info u need is there. So when you figure root out please report back how you did it! Oh thanks again for one of the best first posts we have seen...
P.S. HOW FA KING HARD IS IT TO SEARCH BEFORE YOU FA KING POST!

Why can't EVO. Get rooted?

Why is the newest EVO. So hard to root than other android phones? I had 3.3 and now upgraded to 3.7. Unrevoked doesn't work for it yet. Why is that?

It's a process to find a security hole to achieve root.
That being said, weren't you rooted previously?
That's what you get for not paying attention. Don't ever run an RUU. And this doesn't belong in the development section But I guess that's another symptom of not paying attention

Google is your friend, my friend.
If you have a new Evo you need to use an alternative method to root your phone!! The old methods and UNREVOKED will brick your phone. Here is what you need to know first.
I'm sure there are instructions here at xda to achieve the same thing but I'm not going to search it out for you. This is the method we used for a co-worker's Evo v.003
I never rooted before. And yes I do know that unrevoked worked for the older EVO and not the newer. I was just wondering what would be the cause for it being so difficult to do since other phones seem to get it solved more quickly. But thank you for your responce.

Thanks for being an ass. I ask a simple question based on what I have read, haven't tried to root because of what I read, and get talked to like a kid. I have been a member here for several years and am brand new to android. Thanks for the welcome

HTC is getting better at blocking our rooting methods. That and the update only came out a few days ago, it takes time.

Yeah I just heard that same thing over in the other forum. Is there any place where I can manually install it non-root or do I just have to wait around for verizon to push it over.

Download the RUU, you could just Google it. I think its worth it since I have no need for root yet. I'm sure root will come my way eventually anyway.

Yeah I had some problems when I rooted my original Incredible and then when I decided I didn't want it rooted I had troubles everytime I had an official Verizon OTA update. I decided with this phone I have no intention of rooting it at all, to avoid problems like that.
...though i would love to delete the tremendous amounts of crapware that came with this phone.

If your already rooted can you install the RUU?
Works for me on my rooted HTC Droid Incredible 2.
Skype with video works on my DInc2 with 2.3.3 non root. I downloaded the DIncS version from xda and it works awesome.
Go to settings/applications/manage/all/, go to the white skype, clear the data.
Uninstall the blue skype if you have it.
install this skype here (http://www.mediafire.com/?c86p48w1ei0zaco) and enjoy your video calling.
Edit:Fixed Download Link.

why are you going to wait a week or so? why not just do it now?
Welcome to the E4GT and welcome to XDA...
Hopefully the reason for waiting is because you never rooted a phone before. If that is the case, as easy at it is to root this phone, reading about everything first is the way to go...
If you do not about rooting and have done it before, no need to wait. It can be done in a matter of minutes.
Wait... Whats the point of this thread again? lol.

[Q] Evo 4G Temp-Root

Temp-Root?
How can I temp-root my Evo? I have the 2.3.5 update and want to get some system built in apps off like footprints. Etc.​
:/ any ideas?

There's tons of threads how to root your phone, its not hard to find.... and bumping your thread every 2 hours isn't gonna get anyone to give u a handout when you could simply use your Google Fu and find your answer rather quick. Root evo 4g 2.3.5 ...oh wow look the answer but let me make a thread wait 2 hours and bump it instead of taking 2 mins to use Google

Used google already... But look... I can't get TEMP ROOT for 2.3.5
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
There is no temp root you just need to root :-| you have to use htcdev to unlock the bootloader and then fastboot flash a recovery and then flash superuser and its binary files and if you Googled or even looked around in general and q&a you would know how to do this because its been asked and answered at least 2 dozen times since the OTA was pushed

Like he said, no temp root. Go all in and make the plunge, its well worth it.
I know but my warranty... My dad won't lemme root it but I've had alot done with root... EVO 3D... Evo... Samsung... Ya know just want a temp-root... I Create apps so I use that in root too... But thanks

Easier to ask for forgiveness than it is for permission ;-) Besides, as long as the sprint worker doesn't know how to check your root, you're fine. Find someone stupid.
I've never used an s-on tool to remove my root but i'm sure you could manage getting your phone back to normal. if you ever need to use your warranty. And your Dad will never have to know.

TacoRoot can temp root your device, but you can't really use your device while it's rooted (it makes it unstable). But feel free to try it, if you'd like.
Ok thanks
