Hello all. I'd like to ask IKNOWSQUAT and thaCounty a question but if anyone else has something helpful to say feel free.

I have the EVO rooted and all is well. However, I forget how and when one can use a PC36IMG.zip to update versions rather than doing an all out wipe. The idea is to keep the current apps, settings, call logs, sms, mms, etc.

I currently have the 3.30.651.2 build but when i try to update from 3.29.651.2 via rom manager or reboot (renaming the PC36IMG.zip to update.zip) it does nothing. Yes, i did the update from sdcard option/method. I have done this before but now am not sure if i am repeating the process correctly.

Thanks in advance.

I too, need assistance. I just had to return my old EVO because it had a bad USB port.

The refurb I got had a bad speaker and no lights under the hardware buttons. So, they gave me a brand new unit today.

It had Froyo on it already.

I went to the Root tutorial, which directed me to and xda thread [GUIDE] How to root Android 2.2 on the EVO 4G Outdated - xda-developersto root a 2.2 Sprint phone, but it doesn't work. That thread is outdated...but I tried it anyway.

I get to the step using unrEVOked and it can't root...it's says it's missing the misc.

Is there a way to root this phone?

Thanks to all who reply.

I again turn to you for assistance.

Everything seems to go well until I get to the part where you have to use unrevoked 3. The phone says I have rolled back to 2.1 (eclair).

I get to the step using unrEVOked and it can't root...it's says it's missing the misc.

Ah...I think they are still working on how to root this new version...I have hboot 2.02.

There's a way, on XDA..

Hmm... I dunno if I have 004 or a 003 device.

Guess I'll have to figure out how to tell which I have.

[jj970]

Yeah...I have 0003 and the topic you linked says to hold off on 0003 with hboot 2.02. So I guess I still have to wait.

From what I've read...I wish I got a 0004 though...the camera is supposed to be better.
