White bootloader screen.

IMGP2143.JPG

If you see this it means it didn't find the right ZIP file.

IMGP2147.JPG

Updating!

IMGP2148.JPG

Root success.

IMGP2150.JPG

First time seeing this pop up..

IMGP2151.JPG

Waits here forEVER.

IMGP2152.JPG

!!!

IMGP2153.JPG

Just like new.

IMGP2154.JPG

No Superuser app?! Did I do something wrong.

IMGP2157.JPG

No problem! Didn't even ask for permissions.

IMGP2159.JPG

Boot into Recovery.

IMGP2160.JPG

Flashed new recovery.

IMGP2161.JPG

New recovery up close.

IMGP2162.JPG

Doing a Nandroid backup. A must!

IMGP2163.JPG

That's what you end up with. Stock ROM, rooted.

Look a few posts down for Froyo update!

This is certainly a milestone in Android history.... and it happened before the phone was even officially released. Wowsers.
 
WOW the dam bootloader couldn't find the ZIP in my 16gb microsd card, but when I switched to a 8gb one it worked... wasted so much time
 
Pictures of the root process moved up to first post.

Starting Evo Froyo update!!!

IMGP2164.JPG

Transfer the update ZIP to SDCARD

IMGP2168.JPG

Wipe data and dalvik cache after reboot into recovery. To do this, boot into the bootloader (vol down+power), choose Recovery, connect usb to computer, run recovery-windows.bat

IMGP2166.JPG

Choose Update from SDCARD

IMGP2167.JPG

Ahhh so scary!

IMGP2169.JPG

Success!

IMGP2171.JPG

Boots just fine. Setting up...

IMGP2173.JPG

FROYO HOMESCREEN!

IMGP2175.JPG

What the, it automatically "Restored" my apps. Is Froyo getting smart?

IMGP2176.JPG

New Market look. Automatic updating!

IMGP2178.JPG

This is going to make the Market comments much more useful.

IMGP2177.JPG

Buttons look different in Gmail.

IMGP2181.JPG

HOLY F@#K JIT is awesome.

IMGP2182.JPG

Google Wave is probably the slowest, javascript-heavy site out there. It loads!

IMGP2183.JPG

I don't remember being able to do this with the past browsers. V8 engine in the new Froyo browser.

Once someone comes up with an Overclocked Kernel you'll really want to root :D

Wireless tether is no go. Froyo JIT is raping Linpack.
