Rooting an Android Evo

Here is a really long but WORKING guide to Rooting Android Evo 4G.

Note that this was written in July 2015. That's at least 3 years after any other guide you'll find. So, if you need a MODERN guide to rooting the HTC Evo 4G, this is it. There's a LOT of crud laying around.

Don't Root Robots

Talk from 2011 going into greater detail about how various android exploits work:

-Extract to wherever you want, I put it with the rest of my 3rd-party packages in <code>~/pkg</code>.  It's a binary, so you can just extract the .zip file and put it anywhere.

-You'll want to add the location of a couple of utilities to your <code>$PATH</code>, by adding this to your <code>.profile</code> or whichever dot file you put your <code>$PATH</code> stuff into (or just by running these from your command line, if this is a one-time thing for you):

-This doesn't come with all the things you'll need, so before doing anything else, run the "android" program, which will run the Android SDK Manager.  I recommend installing the following:

-a) you may get an error about https, if you do then close the window with the error message and click "Settings" on the left-hand side, then check the box that says <code>Force https:// sources to be fetched using http://</code>)

-b) you may also need to update the version of the Tools.  Click on "Available Packages" on the left-hand side of the "Android SDK and AVD Manager" window, and then check the "Android SDK Tools" box, and then click "Install Selected".

-. Go back to the unzipped HTC Droid Incredible Root folder and open <code>command.txt</code>
-. Open a Windows command prompt (Start > Run > "cmd")
-. Change directory to <code>C:\sdk\tools</code> by running

-=Internet Tethering=
-You can get internet tethering for free using a program called Proxoid (http://code.google.com/p/proxoid).  It creates a proxy service, so that all internet requests from the computer are forwarded (via USB) to the phone, and the phone then forwards the request to The Interwebs.
-This literally took me 30 seconds to set up.  It's very, very simple if you've got the right tools.
-First, you'll want the Android SDK kit, because you'll use it to send instructions to the phone.  See [[#Installing Android SDK]] above.
