Blah, does this wipe data and clear everything? I just wanted superuser permissions to backup everything, then do a full root.

Everything is still there and all of my settings are the same.

Back everything up but all my apps and stuff stayed no restore required.

Just did the unrevoked3 root from my Macbook Pro and it was sooo easy. Did a backup before hand but it was unnecessary. The Evo looks exactly how it was before the root. The wireless tether app now works as it now should. The past couple of weeks were a big withdrawal for me not having the tether app as I did the OTA update the moment the message flashed on the screen.

Happy camper now!

Backup from Titanium requires root.
That's the thing. I was waiting for his half-root method so I could backup... and then do full root.

I ran unrevoked 1 a month ago, never ran Sprint OTA Update.
I want to take advantage of the benefits of OTA Update. Do I just run unrevoked 3 via pc and I am done? I turned off Sprint OTA update notices on my EVO.

Thanks guys im updating now will report back.

This was my first attempt at rooting my evo. After downloading unrevoked 3 and following the instructions on the bookmark included it was a snap. Loving the tethering.

I'm trying to root my phone using this method.

I'm getting "Communications with phone unexpectedly interrupted. Try again."

I did it again and it's given me the same error.

I've never rooted before.

noob question....

would i have to flash back to stock rom if there were another ota update?

also how do you make a backup of your stock rom

 

[cuthroat]

Okay so I just took the dive and everything works. (Well all I needed was wifi tether) It all went good, Start to finish time was about 15-20 min. That was only because I had to install the latest OTA update.

btw: Im using a Macbook.

 

[charles77k]

i rooted using the new unrevoked 3 method. how do i go back to stock without losing my data?

 

[CB BL]

Dumb question, but how do you enable usb debugging?

Dumb question, but how do you enable usb debugging?

settings -> applications -> development

 

[IronEddie]

I'm a little confused...If I root using unrevoked 3, can i use the rom manager to install custom roms? Or does the rom manager require a "full" root?

 

[CB BL]

Mine isn't doing anything. Downloaded unrevoked 3, unzipped.. started the app on the PC.

Screen pops up, says 'waiting for device' Plus in phone & enable usb debugging

The phone is plugged in, UBS debugging is checked on the phone.

Am I missing something? I have tried Charge Only, HTC Sync, Disc Drive modes on the EVO.

 

[piggyman]

Did you download the drivers from unrevoked?

[CB BL]

Piggyman- thanks again bro.

One more question. Do I need to run 'system update' on the EVO at any time? Or will unrevoked 3 give me the lastest updates (OTA)?

Hope this makes sense.

 

[piggyman]

If you run "system update", it'll remove root (unrevoke 3).

You'll need to wait until unrevoked guys create an update.

 

[alwayzstrapped]

I am stuck...I have downloaded and ran the usb drivers, I open the app and connect the phone and it says pushing recovery image, then it just sits there forever and does nothing, I let it sit for like 40 minutes and nothing ever changed, any ideas...Im somewhat new to this but not completely...ha.

Man, I installed HTC sync and related drivers just the other day, now am kicking myself. I installed hboot drivers but can not get past "booting into recovery", which I assume is because I have the sync drivers installed. I uninstalled sync but cannot remember how I installed the HTC drivers, and now I need to uninstall them. Windows xp. Any help would be appreciated!
