Your statement is false...
You only need ENG-Hboot for Certain roms... like CM6
And Damagecontrol I believe...
other then that he's good
anyone willing to root an evo for me? im getting a replacement one and i could send it to whoever to root it for me before i activate it.
you should really do it yourself.
though the community i feel is fairly honest and straitforward, you never know who may accidentally loose your evo, or not get it in the mail, or worse, drop it ect.
Maybe see if theres some one in your local area you can ask, but other than that, i would't send your evo out.

I rooted then did nandroid restore of the last image of my old evo that happened to be a cyanogen nightly build from last friday. I then flashed the stable build of cm6. Then just for fun I tried bugless beast, then flashed a few of my older nandroid backups from my old phone then back to cm6. The phone its running great!

good point. i would do it myself if i had the confidence. or if there was a new one click root method. i guess if it ships with 2.1 im in luck.
well ladies and gents .... Friday my replacement EVO arrives 
Had to get a new one due to my charging port no longer working.
I will be taking the plunge with the rest of you but i plan on making things much more complicated than they have to be lol.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this process take you back to the 1.47.651 OTA? If that's the case I believe the 1.32.651 RUU was compatible with 1.47 and would all you to run even though it was an earlier version, hence taking you back to 1.32. Making the EVO the exact same way it was on launch day?
I'm just not a 1 click or 3 click kind of guy. I like my ADB's!!!! I hope my assumptions are correct cause im going back to toast 1 and 2

In my experience it wasn't compatible, to restore stock 1.32 I had to flash RvU first, and then run that RUU. I'm guessing they did that to block people from downgrading from 1.47 to 1.32 to root.
But there is a long way with RUU's and browser flash exploit, i believe i linked it above.
I thought football from xda posted a copy of a 1.32 that works with 1.47? No?

Whatever works for ya, unrevoked seems to have more problems so I steer clear.
probly nothing wrong with it anymore from what I hear.
if i could do it all over again i would have gone the simple root route but i just followed the xda thread to the T. Reason why is it seems like a bigger pain in the *** to unroot if I had a issue. Either way it was not hard at all to do the unrevoked forever+unrevoked3 and I am a complete android noob + i'm a infantryman by trade so I am as dumb as they come 
I also have had no problems as of right now.
root with nand unlocked
RA recovery
eng bootloader (had to alter the PC36IMG to get the eng boot not a big deal and easy to do, method is posted at xda)
pri 1.40_003 (have no idea wtf this does)

I'm using Windows 7 so I'm not sure if this makes any difference but however whenever I use reboot bootloader, it never asks me if I want to apply it. It always skips over it, and I did all the steps correctly. Does this take time or do I have to keep doing it over and over again? I'm pretty sure the drivers are installed too (I've used my phone many times on the PC), but once it said Android 1.0 driver not installed. If that's from the SDK, I'm pretty sure I downloaded everything.
Thanks.
EDIT: I just tried again, and now it says device is offline when I try to do adb push in the first few steps. USB debugging mode IS on.

Depends on the kernel but usually not.
Just down load the sdk, and htc sync.
This http://forum.androidcentral.com/hacking/18588-adb-basics-windows-only.html
That should help but make sure you have htc sync installed too.
But I did download HTC Sync and Android SDK, and I didn't see anything on that thread about why it won't ask me whether I want to accept PC316 or whatever and it also doesn't say why the device is offline as well.

That's because it normally doesn't happen. PM LJ, the OP of this thread, he is the brains for that type of stuff.
make sure your debugging is on on the phone, make sure you are pushing the files correctly.
Many people have gotten it to work, persistence is key.

MY GOD THIS IS A WONDERFUL HOW-TO! Thank you so much!
I went a little further and installed Unrevoked Forever and their splash screen, and AmonRa Recovery. Learned a little along the way. I haven't had this much fun since hacking TiVos in the early 2000's.
Two questions if I may ...
My unrooted Evo with FroYo was nicely configured. Now that I've completed this process it's wiped. No worries, I expected as much. I was told to take a Nandroid backup at two places in the how-to, and I did, both times. Can I use that initial backup to restore things like email settings etc?
Can I apply system updates through the UI, namely, firmware, profile, PRL, HTC software? How about Voicemail, can I do that through the UI? There are some updates listed at the top of this XDA topic but I'm not sure what to do with them. Link
