Evo with (Froyo) Android 2.2 can now be ROOTED!

If you recently updated to the Official OTA (over-the-air) update from Sprint and have been thinking of rooting, or if you got your HTC Evo just recently with Android 2.2, you'd know that it was impossible to gain root access. I have been itching to find a way to root my 2.2 as I didn't know that using Sprint's OTA update will not allow me to root. I have tried both the "Unrevoked" Method and "Simple Root" but have failed... But now, FINALLY, the waiting game is over, Thanks to the team of xda developers (forum.xda-developers.com) it is now possible to root your HTC Evo.

Before we move forward, please know that rooting your phone will void any warranties you have from your carrier. Know that, you MUST follow all the procedures Step-by-Step without fail because it can "Brick" your phone (which means there's a possibility that you break your phone). Read about Rooting, its benefits, before continuing. I am not liable for any problems you encounter using this method. I suggest that if you don't know what to do or you think the directions are too complicated but you want to have root access, just wait a little longer. I'm sure it will not take that long for someone to make a simplier way to root without typing all the commands / code.

But if you still want to, and know what you are doing, here it is... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765496

let me know what you think... or if you have successfully rooted your phone. I have visited other forums and sites, and people have been saying they have successfully rooted using this method. Good luck!
