Can i still root the evo with 2.2
Your definitely going to get flamed for opening a new topic on this...
but yes, http://unrevoked.com
yeah i know, i just saw every one having so much trouble. lol thanx
You're lucky your replacement had 2.2! I'm worried now that if i have any trouble with my evo and need to get it replaced or worked on, that it'll end up being updated in the process, and not rootable. I hope that doesn't happen before a new root exploit is found.

You should be good. Just don't accept the OTA.
My buddy just bought a new one Saturday. It was the last one that hadn't been updated yet, in the store!

So I traded in my Evo for my fourth one today. I went to root and adb would not recognize it. It would say device not found. So I used the ruu for the stock Rom and started it up. I did not run it completely. I just pulled it up while I ran adb. This fixed the issue and I was able to root without a problem. Just an FYI for those having a problem. I was using Windows 7.

How are you getting all these evos? I have been waiting since day one for radio shack so I can exchange mine... They haven't had any in...

Right +1 .............
The BB by my house has a ton. They have gotten 2 shipments since release. I guess they are lucky or they are just trying to get rid of 003's. I have not gotten 1 without an issue. Since I am coming up on my 30 days I am going to keep trading them in.

Why would they be trying to get rid of the 003 versions... as far as I know and from experience they are the ones that are perfect...

Then I am the most unlucky Evo owner. I have had three of them all with screen issues. My understanding is that both the 002 and 003 have issues and the next shipment will have the problems worked out.

Just wanted to say thanks to all the devs for all the hard work and the fun you've givin me with customizing my fassy. I'm switching to the Incredible 2 because of the many issues I've had with the missed calls and bad signal. I was offered the phone brand new free of charge with an extended battery for 42$ and a month of free service. I know it may not be as much fun as the fassy because I don't believe its rooted just yet, but right now i need a phone that has the functionality of a phone. So again, thank you all for the awesome roms/themes/tweaks you've offered and I hope i'll be seeing you all again when the S2 comes out.

Wait wait wait. Did you use an upgrade to get the inc2 or they offered it? I'm getting tired of the missed call thing.

no i didnt use an upgrade. this is my 3rd fassy with the same issues. I believe I got extremely lucky.
Nice. I'm gonna have to try that later. Was the phone brand new or a refurbished? You should've asked for a Charge or anything 4g

I might end up exchanging my Fascinate too. My first one had an acore force close loop while this second one has had the status bar burned in.

I believe brand new. i was kinda in shock so I didnt really care to ask but he said it has no battery or back cover so he hooked it up with the extended one for 10 bucks off. and as far as the 4g stuff, none of them interest me.
If it did have a battery or cover, it is refurbished. I was thinking of making the jump to the Dinc 2 as well. Am going to wait for some roms to come out first though.
Oh, and it has achieved S-off, but whoever figured out hasn't released how to to it yet.

The biggest thing I was interested in was that it still said 2.1 OS. Maybe a good chance for new EVOs that have not recieved the 2.3.3 update.

LoL you actually believed it is shipping with 2.1. Its just a really bad cut and paste job.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I'm quite sure they've just never updated the description from when it first shipped. It initially was a 2.1 phone. It'll come with 2.2 if you're lucky, but most likely 2.3. Any phone with 2.1 on it would have been sitting on the shelf since the first few months the phone was released, and with the availability issues the phone had in the first several months, there's no way. It's just old copy on the web site.

I was just putting the information out there. There was a walmart about 5 miles out from me that had some. Sure they could all be 2.3.3 phones but at the same time it is possible they havent had the update. Plus walmarts return policy would allow you to "search" through a few phones to see if you couldnt find one with s-off or no 2.3.3
just putting information out there. No need to flame.

I doubt you will. It will be 2.3.3. Im pretty sure of it. I got one last week and it was that.

I've been checking the forums; as well as, Twitter looking for a root method. I'm itching to put this Epic away.
Sent from my Epic, because my EVO arrived with the Gingerbread update.

Hahaha. Me too. Definitely never visited this forum before receiving my replacement.

If your Rooted DON'T DO IT! Not till you know if it will break Root. Good rule of thumb, if your Rooted do not accept any official Updates. At least until you know what's up.
i am not rooted but because sprint is sending me a new phone in a couple of days i figured why not
i will root after i get the phone(its a replacement)
If your not rooted, and your getting a replacement anyway. Then I'd go for it.
