I believe that because when using unrEVOked you don't know what the program is actually doing to your phone. It's pretty much a 1-click root method. Most users here like to know exactly what's going on with their phones during the root process.
I used unrEVOked and dind't have any problems but there are some people on this forum that have used it and had issues.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
That's mostly it. There's a few issues I have with unrEVOked. unrEVOked has to my knowledge been the only ones to find the exploit to root the Evo with 2.2. Now they refuse to tell anyone the exploit because they say if they do, htc will quickly put out an update to patch up that exploit. Which is true and completely understandable. I actually agree with that. This is where it starts to get iffy with unrEVOked. For one, they don't have a good track record. Their last method caused sooo many issues with people it surprises me that so many people still use unrEVOked. Then there's unrEVOked forever. I personally find that to be one of the most reckless things to come out in the hack community. Now granted, if you root, using ANY method, you're doing it knowing the potential consequences. Using unrEVOked forever, you should know the definite consequences (your phone being rooted forever). So at the end of the day, there is personal responsibility that must be taken from anyone that roots. However, that doesn't mean that those that create these root methods shouldn't take personal responsibility themselves for the product or service they put out. With unrEVOked, they don't seem to take any responsibility. It's basically here, use it, and you're on your own. Then people that end up with problems have NO idea what to do. They don't know what to do because one, they have no idea what the program they just ran did. Two, since they didn't take the time to learn how to use adb, learn how the rooting process works, and what the rooting process does, when it comes time to fix the problem they don't know what to do. They don't know what to do because someone will tell them to adb this or adb that or to do this or do that, but again, they didn't learn anything using unrevoked so now they have no idea what we're talking about. Then there's the fact that even the people that try to help, are helping blindly because WE don't know what unrevoked does either. We can do the best we can but unfortunately there are plenty of situations where the user ends up having to unroot, go back to stock, and root the way the sticky says in the hacks section. Now there are plenty of people that don't have issues when using unrevoked. And that's great. But there are enough people that do have issues
after using unrevoked to make me feel that it's just not worth it. And as I stated before, knowledge is power. The more you know, the easier it is to solve problems either on your own, or through guidance of someone else. I respect unrEVOked for their efforts. It's nothing personal against them at all. I just don't have faith in their product and I think they should take much more responsibility for the service that they offer. Myself and the others from the Evo hacks section are MORE than willing to help anyone with an issue. If you use the root method in the link above, there are plenty of us that are around that are MORE than willing to help with any issue. Not only will your phone be rooted in the end, you'll come out with really good knowledge that will certainly help you in the future.. When you have unrevoked users asking whats recovery, it's pretty obvious they're on a HUGE learning curve when issues arise.
