If your looking for a apk that's gonna root your evo that's not gonna happen.i suggest you look into simple root, than just flash the stock ota rom.

Ok thanks for the help man. I was confused cause some people are saying all you need is the unrevoked apk and your good, guess that's not true? Lol. Well thanks for your clarification compadrè, I will lol into simple root

[meccadon123]

search for unrevoked 3 and that should help you. Or use simple root as suggested above. The latest unrevoked is not a simple .apk anymore. there is a short process but it does work with ota 1.47 and it does allow wireless tether to work. If you can't find it here read this entire thread

Hi, this is my first time posting, and well since im a noob, im having a problem when i want to update my phone. The version i had was v1.3 but never really was interested in upgrading but now i see that there is a better version, so i was trying to upgrade and i see that i need to "fully root the phone" so what i did was to format the SD card since i only had garbage on it then i downloaded the 4 thing you guys asked to download in the first page of Evo full , and started on "Section 2 Version 2" since i already had the first part, I renamed the two zip files, and everything was going well, until i got to part "2H" it doesnt asked me if i want to upgrade, it says "Main Version is older! Update Fail"

What did i do wrong? Please help thanks.

Like I said over in OMJ's thread that error usually means you used the wrong file. Which one are you trying to use? You need to use the one that was originally named eng-PC36IMG (take off the eng when you put it on your card)

[QbanBoi]

Yup, i did that, i erased everything in my sd card, then i put those 4 thing they asked and renamed the PC36IMG to root-PC36IMG and he eng-PC36IMG to PC36IMG. like they asked. =/

What software version do you have? Menu/settings/about phone/software info

You didnt get any errors in 2D or 2E? If the mtd-eng file doesnt get applied correctly that could give that error as well.

EDIT: What is the size of the PC36 file?

Did you try to flash a ROM?
Pull your battery. Put the battery back in.
With the phone off hold Down Vol and Power. Keep holding Down Vol until you get to the white screen.
Choose Recovery.
If Section 2 Version 2 went correctly you should boot into recovery.
If you want to back up your current ROM select Nand backup and restore and make a backup.
Select wipe then factory reset 2X and wipe dalvic cache 2X.
This will erase the user data.
Then you can restore the backup you just made or flash a new ROM.
You can restore the data.img from your backup. Check OMJ's Post #2 for instructions if you want to do it that way.

Hi Winmonewbie I'm going to not worry about the backup. I got the sprint apks working fine. With the new rom, my wallpaper changed and I one I had chosen seems to not be available. Is there a way to get that back?
