Root is here for Evo 4G's on stock gingerbread 4.24!!! Via this method Revolutionary
I'll be leaving the old OP here below, for posterity and if anyone wants to find a little back drop on the story
[INFO]For warning i will be closing all thread asking about how to root or anything to do with rooting the new update. Post in this thread about it ONLY. No need for 50 threads of a similar topic.
Now on to the information about it.
Everyone who is rooted should know that you DO NOT accept OTA updates, we use rooted versions of the update instead. Accepting the update will cause you to lose root, and in this case, you cannot even reroot afterwards.
In this latest update was a new bootloader along with 2.3.3 gingerbread. Gingerbread can be rooted on other devices using gingerbreak which is a script that uses an exploit to gain root. The same developer made rageagainstthecage which is used in Z4 root. Z4 root will obviously not work with gingerbread.
When i get a chance ill mess around with gingerbreak to see if we can get temporary root on 2.3.3, but until a developer cracks the bootloader roms are not possible.
No you cannot roll back to 2.2, it will give you a main version update is older error. Dont bother trying.
When full root is possible, you will know, trust me.
Have a good day [/INFO]
