Hi I am trying to root my HTC Evo it say its the older version can some one please tell me how to root my phone. I have been trying to find out myself but I have had no luck. Can u plz help!! what do I have to do !!
Not to sound like a complete ****, but you must not be trying very hard. Check out the HTC Supersonic (Evo) section. Go to the Android Development subforum, and there are at least 4 or 5 methods to root older Evos. At least one should be within the first three pages.
yea man, please spend some time reading the evo forums, like at least a few hours.
The easiest way to root, since you obviously dont know much about it, is to to the Unrevoked method. Read about it here, then go to unrevoked.com.

Hello guys,
I was thinking to purchase the HTC HERO on 3 here in the UK.
I have read many forums, thread, and watched many videos but i am still unsure on many things...
The first is,
How to I successfully root my HTC HERO-non GSM- on 3?
Does it have to be on a specific FW?
How can i install a mordaco (i think) rom onto my HTC HERO?
Does it have to be unlocked with the lastest radio? Why is that necessary?
Thanks,
Regards
Welcome aboard
Have a deep read here:

Also enter to Hero section where you´ll find your answers
Good luck,
Many thanks my friend but the first method confuses me.it aint very clear.
Method1. I booted the img using fastboot. What on earth is that?
EDIT
Ok i have read the whole guide however both first methods seem too confusing and too long
*please dont mistake me for a noob as i have hacked and softmodded wiis psps xbow360s iphones ipod touches and my n95*
Its just that i am really busy with my exams now. Thats why i am just checking out if i will be able to softmod a htc hero before i get it.just to be safe.
Back to the topic. Is there a easier quicker way because i have read a thread on rooting the hero using 1 apk and some anon ra. Will it work?
?
trying to root my htc sprint hero 1.5 help
Hey man everyone started from the same spot your in. People on here are SUPER helpful, but easily get annoyed by people asking the same questions and not posting them in the right section. USE SEARCH! its your best friend, every question has been asked over 3 times. My advice, read everything on rooting (terminology, dangers, benefits, which type of root fits your needs, which ROM you want to flash) after a week or so on researching, find an RUU file in a thread. Then load that on your phone and follow the command prompt instructions carefully. Remember to use search, and rooting can brick, break, your phone. But the benefits of rooting are well worth It.

Go to the development section and look at the top posts(stickies), they have all the instructions there.

Upgrade to 2.1 first. Easier to root for me plus you're already upgraded then.

Hey dude, I'd recommend using this link right here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
It tells how to get your phone to the stock 2.1 and then how to root that.
If you read down through the first 2 or 3 posts, all the instructions are there and it's really hard to mess them up if you follow exactly what is typed.
You don't even HAVE to upgrade to 2.1, but I'd recommend doing it first.
If you don't want to mess with the link I included above, you can just root it from 1.5 like it is now using some of the one-click methods out there on the forum. If you go to the Development section of this HTC Hero forum and look around for any threads with ROOT in the title, you should be able to find anything you need.
Also check out the Take Control link down in my signature below -- it has a lot of helpful posts and info too.
hey all,
i have been researching rooting for my EVO 4G, and have always come across the unrevoked method. But unrevoked never works for me, i can never install the hboot drivers. i was wondering if i have to have hboot drivers installed to use this method, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.phpt=838448&highlight=how+to+root, if i have to have hboot i am kind of screwed, but are there any alternative methods of rooting the EVO 4G?
Thanks in advance!!!!
EDIT: the link wont work, but the method is called "universal autoroot v2.5"
The best place to look would be in the forums specific for the evo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=619
You will be able to find all of the answers you need there. Alot of people don't check out the other forums, they just hang around their phone's forum (myself included most of the time) Good luck, hope you find what you are looking for.
Thanks, i am new to this forum, so im not really sure where anything is, this is a huge forum

A Big Thanks and Sorry for beeing an annoying Noob with no time to search to much (The negative part of working too much is lack of time )
Even a temp root would be fine....
I searched a bit and saw root for Evo 3d And 4G! But in here in Sweden its Nither 4G or 3D! Just a Regular Sensation 3G!

Uh... First of all, Sensation = Sensation 4G. No other difference than branding. Second, you can get temp root on newest update because HTC didn't patch the exploit. Anything else?

s-off and radio off etc all those are needed to use custom roms and recoveries and permanent root... thats what i know well if im wrong please correct me...
1) This is NOT a development related thread. It should be in the Q&A section
2) Search, search and search
Time it took to post this thread and await the responses would have been much better spent searching, which in fact is about 2 posts down in this case...
Sensation's bootloader is locked ( s-on ) so there is'nt a way (yet) to s-off the device. We only have perm root for now that goes away when you reboot the phone ( so u have to repeat the method after every reboot ). The best and easiest way to do it is here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161283 . I know you are a noob and all but it would be better if did a little search before you started the thread ( the perm root method is very easy to find ). If you want to ask something the q&a section is where to do it. Anyway you will get it right the next time . Cheers

No wounder you have 4 Thanks since 2008!
Instead of Wining and wasting your time writing me, why dont you make good of it and write something usefull so Some One Likes you and thanks you instead of geting hated!
I DID a Search before, but i found Temp root for USA Sensation EVO 3D and 4G!
And if you read the TOpic it says

And Since the Sensation is 3g in Sweden And not 3D or 4G, i didnt dare testing before asking in here.
And since a Fourm is for Asking/discusting and talking so that is what i DID!
And if you read more i alsaw wrought Sorry for beeing a Noob, But i Work to much and own a company so the time is not on my side.. (So exprementing with a stoch phone and not knowing for sure if that temp root in here is working on EU phones is not so smart)
Thanks leftheodo
I did post it in the wrong section, sorry for that
I have no more question. And if an OP can be kind enough to move this to the right section.

Well one, the Sensation EVO 3D isn't a device. It's the EVO 3D OR the Sensation. Also, if you read in this section of the forums, and check the temp-root threads, you would see how many people have EU Sensations.
Hello I am new to android I have had my HTC Incredible S for about 2 months and I have been reading on here for a while off and on about rooting and flashing custom roms onto my phone the only thing is is that from what I have read multiple things like that my phone can get bricked and be useless and it is also difficult to root the incredible s as well, I am just asking for people to tell me how likely I am to brick my phone and hopefully maybe some people could talk to me about flashing custom roms onto my phone and possibly link me some websites or possibly a video to show how to do this to my phone.
I would start here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980497
Also try searching here - http://www.google.com/cse?q=android...=ISO-8859-1#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=incredible s root
But next time I would suggest going to the specific forum for that device and, after reading through the sticky/roll up threads, ask the question there.
