READ ME:
HTCDev.com has blocked access to the method I was using to automate their website.
As of right now, this method does not work due to that, but I am currently implementing a fix.
You may still download the rooter, but it WILL NOT communicate with HTCDev.com until I update it.


Description
Please read this entire post before attempting to root/unlock!
RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter provides easy bootloader unlocking, recovery flashing, and rooting of the HTC EVO 4G LTE's stock firmware.
This rooter DOES use HTCdev.com to unlock your bootloader.
NOTE: Unlocking your bootloader erases ALL user data on the phone! Be sure to back up with Titanium or something similar!
Successful in unlocking and rooting all builds.
If you have any problems while rooting, reboot your phone completely and try again.

What it does
  • Verifies Device and Battery Level (Needs to be charged to at least 40% before running)
  • Reboots to Bootloader and Gets Unlock Token
  • Sends Token to HTCdev.com
  • Retrieves Unlock_code.bin
  • Unlocks Bootloader
  • Flashes TWRP Recovery
  • Sends Superuser packages and busybox to device

Usage
Before Running! - Clear your Google Wallet Settings!

1. Run the "RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter.exe" on your computer, Enable USB Debugging in Settings > Developer options on your phone, then plug in your Evo.
2. It will recognize that you plugged it in, and a big button that reads "ROOT ME" will appear.
3. Follow the on screen prompts and wait until rooting is complete.

Requirements
Windows Computer
HTC Drivers installed
.NET 4.0 installed

Have to run a 3rd time the 1st time i got overly excited and double tapped the volume so the boot loader didn't unlock. second run it got stuck on flashing recovery, battery is below 40% so gotta charge before my 3rd go, however the phone has problems connecting to play store should i scrap my attempt and RUU or try for a 3rd time?

I haven't had any problems connecting to play store but I did have to run twice because o got stuck at flashing recovery. Ran it again and it worked perfect. So I would try it again imo

    In the scheme of life some things are more important than others. Don't worry about any time frame. Just take care of yourself and yours. I know you do this out of desire to help others and all of us need to understand this. I will shut up now.

    Doc

    I fully understand. I just wanted to know for sure if we "could" be expecting it. That's all. Again, I appreciate all the time you have spent doing this.
    Hey no worries guys, I was just trying to clarify that I don't have unlimited time always to work on things here on xda. I have a ton of projects on here as well that need updating and I am behind and a little stressed out :p

    I'm working on an update for this right now, which will be smart and work for both the 1.13 and 1.22, deciding which you have and doing the proper method.

    Updated to version 4.0 today. This should have ironed out the reboot issues and the HTCdev.com issues. Right now HTCdev.com is a little bit slow, just due to their server, but if you're patient and let it do it's thing, it will work.

    Ok, updated the OP with a new technique. Hopefully this will get the zip pushed. Let me know if I have to do more on it.
