(wait until part 2 to download and rename to PC36IMG.zip)
mtd-eng.zip from: xda-developers
flash_image.zip from: xda-developers
different recovery.img from: http://www.joeyconway.com/sdx/evo/tr...a-recovery.img

OK, I read the whole thread... I don't see my device listed after ./adb devices

Any help?

any updated version?

Ok, I am new to Mac and new to the droid. I downloaded the Mac SDK, on a windows based computer I just looked for the .exe file to install it. How do you install it on a MAC? And if you want to tell me I am a moron I won't be offended, but please help me anyway.

Rufflez, first of all, thanks for figuring this one out. It would have taken me a year. im having trouble with the links to joey's website, specifically the PC36IMG.zip recovery of part 2. Can you help me out?

I am having the same trouble. I have no way of knowing what version of anything is and if it will work with the Evo that I just got.

It actually looks like all I REALLY need to do is Part 1, but I don't know enough about it to know, and I certainly don't want to disable my phone.

Can someone update this for Gingerbread 2.3.3. Seems all the other root instructions are for Linux & Windows not Mac

I'm trying to root my evo on my macbook. I'm going nuts. Is this root still valid?
