My bro just picked one up, and we were wondering how root... has it been done, if not, which method would be best to root... any input would be much appreciated...

You should've posted this in Q&A or General. This is the dev forum. (Just saying it before hand everyone else does)
But there are root methods. Since he just picked one up, it probably has 2.3 Gingerbread on there.
You will have to follow the Downgrade to froyo method. Then root using the GUI Tool. That's the only method for gingerbread.

Wrong section. would say google but no results besides this thread .
The other posters are right, this is the wrong section.. It's also the wrong forum. This is the EVO Shift forum, any mods, hacks or rooting methods will not apply to the EVO Design.

well if it is the new Evo Design 4g aka Kingdom that was release oct 23rd then it is a locked down phone with a signed bootloader. You will need to get into contact with these gentlemen http://revolutionary.io/ as they will be your only chance of getting true root

I read a how to root the gingerbread thread the other day and s guy had it. His instructions were as follows: 1. Bury phone in ground. 2. Water three times a day. 3. Enjoy root for the gingerbread. I am new but those instructions seem kind of off. Step 2 I can see, but step 1 is just a little much.

Hey everyone! I have recently obtained an EVO Shift and will be making lots of how to videos for it! I do see there are a lot of written guides, but no videos. I did make many how to videos for the Samsung Epic and I got such a wonderful response from everyone, I figured I would expand to different devices.
Please post suggestions to future videos in this thread, or PM me!
I will be posting more how to videos very soon

Well with sprint they have 2 separate PRL lines, being able to go to the business prl or an older national one is pretty nice. Especially since sprint roaming currently sucks

Currently there is only temporary root for 2.3... that means when you reboot you will lose root access.

I know this isn't the lg mytouch thread, but there isn't one. I ordered 2 of these phones as a test order I couldn't cancel, but was pleasantly surprised at the solidness of the device. Very thin and light, and solid enough build quality. Screen is AMOLED sharp.
I need to use the hotspot therefore I need root. But it doesn't look like people even acknowledge the phone's existence.
any Ideas?
Which OS version is it running, to begin with?
If the bootloader isn't locked - you have a shot by using one of the temp-root methods and pushing Superuser.apk+su.
If the bootloader is preventing write access to /system partition - you'll need to wait until someone creates a method to unprotect the /system. And it might take a lot of time...
Runs 2.3.4
No way really to tell if it's unlocked bootloader. Superoneclick and gingerbreak didn't work

2.3.4 can only be temp-rooted by fr3vo.

I am kinda new to this but would this work on totally different phone I mean yes the original HTC Glacier AKA MyTouch 4G and HTC Vision AKA G2 were kinda the same both made by HTC but these phones the LG MyTouch and LG MyTouch Q are totally different and besides the LG MyTouch do not have a 2.2.1 rom out there, also I do read this thread so I do thank you for the help earlier but I just want to clarify if it will work on ANY 2.3.4 rom thanks again
It can't be said for sure - since nobody tried it yet. But it works on other chipsets - fr3vo was originally made for Evo 3D and Sensation. So, since no harm can be done by trying it (the worst you can get is having to reboot the phone), why not to try?
Instructions for rooting the LG MyTouch and MyTouch Q can be found here:

Lol. You posted these same questions on Android Central. At least that was in the right forum.
Without a custom kernel there aren't a lot of options with setcpu to save battery. What are your available governors?
One thing you might do to save battery while the phone is asleep is make a sleep profile that locks the max somewhere between 300 and 400 mhz (if possible).

Hello all, I've been tweaking with my Xperia Arc and Samsung Galaxy S2 for 3 months now, but a friend of mine asked me to install a new ROM to his Inspire.
It's currently on stock. I found a nice ROM thread and read that it needed the "Radio S-Off" and I don't understand what that means.
I know I'll be able to flash the cwm, and unlock the bootloader (hopefully) but that one kept me guessing. Thanks in advance!
The steps are: Root the phone. Install Recovery. Flash custom ROM.
If you don't know what that means or how to do either of those steps, you shouldn't be messing with the phone at this point. All the information you need is already available in these threads. Do your research.
Research!! Each ROM thread the developer shows you how to flash them. There are also specific threads that teach you how in development section. Do not attempt anything with your buddies phone if you don't know what your doing or you may end up buying him a new phone.
Research and study!!!Reasearch and study!!! I myself searched and searched for weeks before I attempted anything on my phone.

And yes, I read the effen manual 5 times. Although Ace kit it's pretty clear and easy. I found out that this phone in particular it's bit of a different work around than my other phones(Arc, S2). I flashed him Android Revolution HD ROM and it's pretty cool, although too stockish for my liking. Thanks again guys.
