HTC EVO 4G root tutorial available, and not a moment too soon

We know that you've been champing at the bit ever since you heard that the EVO 4G had been successfully rooted, so we're pleased to tell you that the gang at the XDA-developers forum has gone and posted everything necessary for you to perform the operation yourself. Better yet, Android Central has even posted a step-by-step tutorial. Now you too can perform a semi-obscure operation on an as-yet-unreleased smartphone! Check out the links below to get started.

@Vanilla Sperm

oh i got 3 confused with another program, replace my answer to that with google voice, you can screen all your unwanted friends with that...

How do you take any faith in a potentially Evo-4G-bricking set of instructions from someone who's instructions include the word WANNA in big bold letters?
Oh man...

@geolemon

Welcome to XDA... Command of the English language is not exactly these guys' forte.

[ThatDudeSolo Posted Jun 3rd 2010 2:06PM]

@geolemon Purely trivial. They're devs, not english teachers. Half the time they implement features that I didn't know I wanted until they brought em to light.

Not attacking you in anyway. Just saying.

@hated one

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, STOP POSTING. I feel my overall intelligence level dropping after reading the first sentence of anything you ever post.

I saw the Froyo port the other day. Am I safe to say that if I install Froyo I can't have Sense UI on top of it just yet? Or is there a way to port Froyo with Sense?

Does anyone know how to change their email address on Engadget? The email address on my profile is wrong, but I see no way to change it and can't receive notifications of replies.

Blackberry as Smartphone is an oxymoron. Bb is amessaging phone. Nothing smart about BB.

[ThatDudeSolo Posted Jun 3rd 2010 2:07PM]

@btcutter Oh no you didn't :o my kid cousin will throw a hissy fit if you told her that! for crying out loud she can use facebook!

@Vanilla Sperm

I will bet you every dime I own that your statement "iPhone 4G will sell more than the iPhone 2/3/3gs combine in a week than ALL THE android devices combined." will prove to be not even 50% true. I will, however, outsell the EVO by a sizeable factor, if that makes your sperm feel better about themselves.

We will be hearing car door slamming tonight!

is it just me or does this thing scream "dip dip dibble"?

[KetsuSan Posted Jun 3rd 2010 3:18PM]

@Vanilla Sperm Now honsetly is that all you can say?? Duhhhh "The andwoieed YOU-EYE ITZ A FAYL" you sound like a ignorant moron. Please do me a favor and elaborate on why it fails. And I could have sworn that this country was all about preference. Im coming from a Iphone 3gs (Jailbroken and unlocked & ran T Mobile for a 8 months) and I really think this is a great breath of fresh air for me. You dont like the clock??? Take it off. Simple as that. Instead of opening a app for the weather, make a widget. Hate switching from Twitter to Myspace to Facebook? Let friendstream do the implementations. Does apple have a apple for that?.........Oh I'm sorry, I was cleaning my nails! LOL

The dev is at http://twitter.com/toastcfh

Follow him at least!

Does this void warranty?

[Johnny Rockets Posted Jun 3rd 2010 9:41PM]

Evo running FroYo playing Hulu.

BOOM.

Can Apple top that on Monday?

Exciting times indeed.
