I'll update the thread. I'm just not current on all the latest stuff. I created the thread when I first got the phone in June. I've tried to add info as things changed, but I obviously don't have all the latest info.
Maybe if you could give me just a few general steps, I can expand on it to make sure people know what to look for when they first join.

I guess the biggest change is the new Hboot 2.02 the steps to root these evos can be found here:
[ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02 S-OFF - Like a Boss Edition! - Updated 11/20/10 - xda-developers
The other biggy, is the version 004 phones and some of the later 003 phones have a different camera hardware which required different drivers and thats why the 3.30.651.5 software version was not an OTA for all phones, only the phones that came with the 3.30.651.2 software were the new phones that had the new camera hardware. Many developers included the new software in their roms but its not required on the older phones just the ones with the new hardware. Unrevoked seems to have a problem rooting phones that came with 3.30.651.#. Since these new phones need the newer kernel and software to work properly, many have run into problems when using the old toast methods and others to root causing phones that won't boot afterwards or get stuck in boot loops because the new hardware needs the new software and kernel to run and the old root methods don't have the new software incorporated in them, this is why the "Everything Root" thread needs some updating. Anyone that has had their phones from the early days have already rooted and won't have these problems, but all the noobies are going to go to this thread and try the old methods and may brick their phone.
