Everyone that’s seriously into Android/Evo 4G has heard that some very talented hackers/developers have gained root access on the still unreleased device. You probably also know that they were waiting to release instructions until it was as easy to gain as possible. That time has come.
At 3am, this very morning, toastcfh of XDA-Developers forums updated the thread he started May 28th. His update included the instructions and download locations for everything you need to root your EVO 4G. Whether you got it at Google I/O, bought it on Craigslist, or are getting it the VERY near future you’re happy to at least see the instructions. The thread now at 39 pages long, is a very good read even if you have no intention of rooting your phone.
Some things root on the Evo won’t be able to do
-
-
-
- - you can’t write to /system or recovery while you’re booted into Android
- - you can’t flash a custom recovery to the phone
-
-
Since this phone already has root and has the ability to install various wireless tethering apps, how well will Sprints new mobile hot spot add-on do? Only time will tell.
