It is August 24th, 7:29 in the pm and the lastest OTA update for 2.2 Froyo has not been rooted yet. Also, OU still sucks.
This thread is aimed to bring updates about the progess of those working on finding an exploit for the leaked and official 2.2 updates on the Evo. There are quite a few in our community, here at Android Central, that installed the update and a growing number of the lucky few that are buying new Evos. (Apparently they are shipping with 2.2 installed). There was an excellent suggestion from a local forum member, t0ast3d, to start a sticky thread that we can use to harvest and share all the info we may have. And to be honset -- also to clean up the clutter that grows with each new "Can i root 2.2" thread.
So what we need everyone to do is to keep this thread abreast of any new developements they may find outside of Android Central so that we may bask in the glory of root once the exploit is found.
And if you're wondering about the apps available to root the Evo and whether they work -- they will not. This goes for UnrEVOked's newst app and one I haven't heard of before called Easy Root by Unstable Apps. Now, that doesn't mean they will never work -- it's just as of now they don't. So keep checking.
Last but not least: if you happen to be a linux hacker waiting for your fifteen minutes of fame then I would like to encourage you to fire up your linux box and start playing with everything you can. Remember, the last exploit they found was in Flash and the newest brick wall seems to be the new hboot.
And for you kids thinking: "I am just gonna downgrade to 1.47 and then root that" -- it's not gonna happen, Tiger. But keep trying and let us know.
PS
This is worth mentioning:
STAY AWAY FROM OTA UPDATES!
