All Evo Froyo 2.2 "is it rooted yet" talk [solved]

[crookdbill]

I didnt know there was a video. Did the process yesterday and it worked perfectly. Now rooted from ota 2.2 to virus x rom 2.2. It inicially down grades you to 2.1 but ypu can flash whatever you want because you are rooted.

I did it yesterday too... So you can do custom Rom with this unrevoked 3?

Basically that process is just showing you how to downgrade back to stock 2.1, after that you can root using what ever method you like.

at what point in the process does the become 2.1, cuz all steps in the video end up with a 2.2 root. where do i stop in the process and root the newly downgraded OS and continue with a android 2.1 rooting process....just asking.

When looking at the video you will be at stock 2.1 at the 2 minute mark of the second video, everything after that talks about going to unrevoked website to perform the root and then the flash of the rooted 2.2.

there is no need to use that rooted 2.2 after you downgrade to 2.1 , use unrevoked 3 than flash unrevoked forever so it says - off

after that install the stock ruu, than go back install clockwork and than superusers.

you have a stock 2.2 and full root access afterwards.

i found that to be the most stable and i have wifi tether back

I have been a little gun shy too. I used UnRevoke 3.0 when I was on 2.1, way back when and now I am on stock (unrooted) RUU 2.2
Okay Boo boo. I follow you until you say "than go back install clockwork and than superusers". I haven't seen the video so I might be jumping the gun.
I am a software developer and what I truly would like would be a flow chart describing what each step does in big picture terms (funtional steps). I hate just blindling following instructions. That is why I got out of the USMC!
When I go into the Setup screen (the one you access through the Vol Up/Pwr btns) I don't even know what to call the screen, I am not sure what each command does.

A good Wiki on this would give me a warm fuzzy.
