I just got my EVO and tried to root it using the instructions listed on the EVO page from androidcentral.
It did not work, What I got on my screen said
HBOOT
Main Version is older!
Update Fail!
Do you want to reboot device?
etc...
What went wrong? Any help would be great.
THX, jeff
the instructions I used are below:
1. Download this file (PC36IMG.zip). Move it to the root (as in top level) of the Evo's storage card.
2. Turn the phone off. Once it is, hold down the volume button and the power button until you get a white screen and some text. You're now in the bootloader. It should automatically start checking the PC36IMG.zip file you put on the card.
3. Once it's done, it'll list all the images on the card and ask if you want to flash. (This is your last chance to back out.) Say yes, and we're on our way. It'll look like this as it's going:
Evo 4G rooting
4. After it's done, it'll ask if you want to reboot. Surely.
