All files required are included such as PC36IMG.zip, recovery image, as well as adb for anyone who doesn't have it, so its a decently sized file. All included files are explained in the README.txt file in case anyone is paranoid :P

If anyone has any problems with it, post your log.txt file here wrapped in [code] tags.

Big big thanks and credit goes to toast, koush, and any other developers working on HTC Evo 4G hacks and mods!

Gotta say this:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY HAPPEN TO YOUR DEVICE, ALTHOUGH ANYTHING THAT MIGHT GO WRONG SHOULD BE COMPLETELY REVERSIBLE.

Update: v.02 addresses some bugs in the initial release. After this release you will just be able to download a new batch file which will just be posted here. Included now are both the rooting PC36IMG as well as the one for NAND unlocking.

USE ONLY THE METHODS YOU NEED TO DO, AND IN THE CORRECT ORDER (1,2,3)!!!! IF YOU ALREADY ROOTED THEN SKIP OPTION 1!!!!

Download here(using bit.ly links to track downloads):
Mirror #1(Megaupload): http://bit.ly/c2j1lE

Happy Rooting!

Update: I have forgotten a few instructions for what to do after Rooting. Instead of stopping the upload and fixing it now, I will edit it tomorrow when im at that computer. For now heres what you have to do after you complete rooting(option 1)



KNOWN BUGS:
All currently known bugs should be fixed with new package

Looks promising, but I'm going to wait until the bugs are worked out.

The OP from XDA just updated the process to fix some bugs. I'm going to try it when I get home.

Haha. Same thing happened to me. But the good news is now I know a little more about adb so future stuff will be easier.

Heads up, this is NOT fully working yet. The original post at XDA should be followed until this 1 is updated.
