Xda has an dev thread for newer evo. Kind of long and drawn out but most importantly many successful posted feedback.

Hboot 2.02 use: [ROOT][GUIDE] HBoot 2.02 S-OFF - Like a Boss Edition! - Updated 11/20/10 - xda-developers Software version 3.29.651.# or earlier use unrevoked If you have hardware version 004 do alot of reading before you root and find the appropriate method. If you have hardware version 004 you probably have hboot 2.02 also so use that method. You will also have software version 3.30.651.# and cannot use unrevoked to root. |

Re: It's time to update the everything root in the sticky!
One thread to root them all sounds good in "Lord of the Ringers" but will cause contunious confusion and ruin when these phones diverge too much. Already, I am preparing to call my phone a "legacy EVO". Haven't got a name for those new-fangle devices.
The reason I stress splitting out the threads is more for the Noobs. Then all you have to tell them is, if you have a legacy EVO, take the Blue Pill. If you have a 003 or later, take the Red Pill. That is a lot better than saying, do part 2 of Hendricks rooting process but skip over section 4g though 5.2f unless your phone is list in 3A. But before you do that, be sure to go over the XDA and read OMJ's secret on... See what I'm saying? |

Re: It's time to update the everything root in the sticky!
Ikillen - that's a funny post. I rooted my 002 Evo after reading RX8's thread a lot! I bought my wife a white Evo two weeks ago thinking of root all the way home.
Started going through the 'all root' guide and by chance I saw a hyperlink for newer Evo's, and click click click later I was deep into the 2.02 Hboot guide over at XDA. It took some time and reading catching myself up to date on why a new method was required, losing RSA keys, new camera hardware, etc. Much more risk on flashing custom roms IMO right now for the 004 phones. So there's my long winded vote on having two threads. No reason for 004 phone owners to learn old ways to root old phones on the quest for the latest methods. Too much risk in bricking phones to pack it all together. |

Re: It's time to update the everything root in the sticky!
Yeah, it is gonna get ugly in a hurry. We seasoned types pride ourselves in others being confused but I get paid for bringing the fire of the God's to the unwashed masses. I am a system's (business) analyst with the emphasize on "anal".
I am quite sure it is just a matter of time before a family member will be on a newer phone than mine. I am getting myself prepared for that, intellectually and emotionally. |

Re: It's time to update the everything root in the sticky!
The 0004 hardware root method could easily have its OWN separate section WITHIN the existing root sticky. If done properly and written separately from the old hardware root method, the thread can be a "one stop" for rooting of all EVO's. Seriously just use good common sense and edit the thread title as well as keep the 0004 root method in It's own SEPARATE section of the thread with none of that jumping around back and forth, go here, then go there bs! That gets confusing to people. That part I completely agree is NOT the way to write a tutorial for beginners in the first place. Just work on inccorporting hardware 0004 device rooting instructions independent of the original root instructions in the same thread. Problem solved
