[TUTORIAL] How To Root The HTC EVO ~ Part-1 \0/

chuckhriczko · Jun 1, 2010

Eek. I didn't mean to make such a big fight happen. But Efuse this is why I asked you not to post like that. Whether you meant it in a mean way or not it sounded mean. Your reply did too but whatever. I have more posts than you! ha ha

So anyway, yes, please let's just stop this bickering and have a group hug, no homo.

Back to the thread:

I could be wrong, and maybe I'm mixing threads in my brain, but I thought root method wasn't being released until release date, at the earliest.

Toast has already done so much for us, he really owes us nothing. He could show up at my house with something taped up in trash bags, and two shovels....I'd be digging, no questions asked....

I know the grack group was going to release on the 4th but I don't know if Toast said definitely or not. regardless, I think June 4th will be our new independence day lol

No.

Then allows us to tell you to GTFO.

I don't think I will allow you, no.

thorpe24 said:
yeah dude honestly the way you asked, sounded kinda dickish, the guy doesn't owe you anything, he's working on it and not demanding we pay which i know a lot of people that would if they had found root. so just give him some time, it'll be out when it's out . nuff said.

While I will admit the method I asked could have been nicer (and i was going to edit to be, before anyone replied, but edit is disabled for new users) the question was valid. There has been a ton of lying in the android community lately. The Jake Day situation, etc. Toast has provided nothing to prove that his root is real (except an easily-faked video) and refuses to provide any release schedule. This makes me suspicious.

if you dont need instructions then you have no reason being in this thread unless you have accomplished full root yourself?

if not then kindly see your way up to the "X" in the top right corner of the screen

+1

Or you can also do Alt+F4.

Seriously though, not just Toast but nearly all Devs do this work graciously on their own time to make our lives easier and our phones better. You're not going to get anywhere sounding like a d-bag. Or at least not far. Learn to be patient, and have a good time. If you can put both those things together, I promise your experience here at XDA will be an enjoyable one. Otherwise, you're going to get "flammed" all day long.

Also, sorry for the double post, but you should really think out the ramifications of your tone before posting. If you would have done 5 minutes of research looking at Toast's other posts in the Hero section, you'd see his name all over stuff, including the custom overclocking kernel for the Hero. It really chaps my ass when people act like this. And no, I don't suck up or kiss ass, I am just extremely grateful for those that give their time to better the cause. Wasn't the frigging video enough for you?!?

I don't know what phone you had before but the Hero people know just what Toast has done and he has nothing to prove to anyone. He puts out some of the best stuff around. People are getting upset with you because we already lost a really good Dev from the Hero side earlier this year from people acting dumb and not wanting to wait. The phone is not out to the masses yet and that is most likely why it is not out yet.

That being said I am not trying to keep this fighting up just trying to help shed some light on this. I know there are alot of people that come from different phones and don't know what others have done in the past. So try and be patient with them.

Can everyone please stop *****ing and flaming? Who gives a **** if he asked for a release schedule? We're all here to get the Evo root, so let's focus on that and not on attacking others. Done and DONE.

I don't have any standing here... But DITTO. Let the master work his wonders. Sit back, contribute if you can, and wait.

I feel ya, man. I prefer regular updates as well. [pacifist's philosophy] Skepticism is a defense mechanism that combats the woes of unfulfilled expectation. Faith on the other hand is a funny quality, and often misunderstood. Many see it as blind, however TRUE faith MUST be based on something..otherwise its not faith it's being gullible. [/philosohy]

That being said, for those of us who have CDMA Heros...our TRUE faith lies in toast n co (that includes maejrep, the guy who posted the vid [not toast]) as they have proven their skill time n time again! Whether you believe is your choice. Only time and concrete evidence will replace your doubt.

p.s. bear in mind that these guys have lives as well so they may not respond as quickly as we like. Also they may be working on it as we bicker hoping to provide a positive update for us.

Being able to make random kernels and being able to root a phone are two very different things.

I posted earlier in this thread about the conversation at the I/O Fireside Chat where the Android handset manufacturers explained how a proprietary feature gets rolled into the general Android API.

Google just sent me an e-mail. The Android session videos go up tomorrow; the Fireside Chats go up Friday.

uhg... does every good thing have to end up into a argument? i mean really how does one fake a EVO running 2.2 aosp? its not like the phone is on table never moving. its being moved around with maejrep interacting and all. i dont expect anyone to believe us for sure without proof. but i think the video says enough that engadget posted it along with 10 othr highly respected tech sites. i think if it were a fake u wouldve heard it from them by now. but whatever, itll be released when im done. sorry

theillustratedlife · Jun 1, 2010

Thanks toast. As I'm sure you've noticed, most of us are anxiously, patiently, and supportively awaiting your results.

Best of luck! Let us know if we can be assistive.

great

yeah flipz just got back into town last night. hes working on a winblows rooter to help the noobies out. the linux setup is ready to go. i was just waiting to here back from maejrep about the recovery. ot was a holiday weekend so we were all kinda busy. anyhow before friday for sure.i hope tonight or tomorrow. i dont have the device so its a little stressing trying to hook it up and wait for testing to return.

as maejrep posted, the cam in the Froyo build is a no go at the moment. havent had time to play with it much. also mms is most likely a issue too. so for high hopes of fully functional froyo everyone can give that up for the moment. also as mentioned before no wimax in froyo as of yet either. lol i think that be the three main reasons one would want an EVO eh?! lol anyhow in time im sure well be good. it was actually just a port, just to see it in action EVO. ill release it also so others can tinker.

thats pretty much it guys. sorry its taken so long. the good news is i hear that the devices released on the 4th are gonna run the same build as the I/O devices. so that brings high hopes for sure. but we wont knoww for sure until those devices hit the shelves. anyhow thanx for the support and hating

na but please guys keep it clean
