HTC EVO 4G Unrevoked 3 Rooting Instructions

[acoleman1981]

does this wipe the phone or anything or is basically like the unrevoked 1 where it is just rooted, i don't want to download everything again.

Uuuuggh! I'm on the xp box now and it still sits at "waiting to reboot".

It works for Windows 7 64 bit cuz that's the kind of laptop I have. You might wanna read through this http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/22840-unrevoked3-2.html its from the evo forums it helped me out. If you have HTC sync you have to uninstall.

It works just like Unrevoked1 in that it doesn't wipe-out your phone.

At what point are you stuck? I've heard people say that they didn't get a "done" message, yet their phone was rooted. You might want to check if it worked anyway.

Been thinking about this for awhile...I did notice, though, that they said it won't allow you to get rid of Sprint's garbage (I'm eyeballing you, Sprint Cup app...). Is there a fix being worked on for this?

The driver link page comes up blank! Cant get the driver.

worked like a charm and I have my wireless tether back. Thanks for the writeup. Does anybody know how to go back to stock unrooted in case we have an update or I need the phone worked on by sprint?

I tried to root using unrevoled3 last night and clearly jacked something up so I went to this thread over in the EVO section to un-root my phone and it worked out great.

I wish I knew this was here last night when I tried to root my phone. I did something wrong and had to un-root but now that I have step-by-step instructions I'm gonna try it out again tonight.

I need some help.. i did everything and not the "unrevoked" program is stuck with this message "pushing recovery image"... what am i doing worng...i'm using my windows 7 laptop should i try it on my windows xp desktop ?...

 

[trini4040]

I tried it again and i works now.. if your using windows 7 you might have to uninstall "htc sync and sync driver...as soon as i did the uninstall of the htc stuff everything went as planned

Someone posted a how-to video for using unrEVOked 3 over at AndroidForums.com which I found helpful. Apparently I still get confused by reading the steps.....lol

Here's the link.

Wasn't uninstalled?

Just updated my Evo and applied unrevoked3. Worked perfectly! Now to see if the update really provides any benefit.

driver install

i was having problems also and found what i belive to be on of the problems. when we install the driver while the phone is in hboot usb i belive you also need to install the same driver while the phone is in its normal state also. after the phone fully boots plug in and update driver.

for a smoother root tho i would do the driver install while the phone is in normal state then follow all the instructions in the tut.

hope this helps.

Thanks for the information but having some problems.I followed everything to the T.I have revoked 3 on my screen. Either is freezes at pushing image at first of freezes and the end when it says waiting on system.It never fails,its never as easy as it seems.

Any ideas.Do i just keep trying and trying.

Thank you.

its been on flashing recovery image.Do not touch your phone like 4 minutes now.This was after the waiting for phone to reboot.Does it take a while.
