I have been trying to root my evo4g for a couple of days. I have tried unrevoked, revolutionary, Z4mod. all have failed to root. is there a new set of drivers or a new root method I should try?

I want to root so I can have wifi tether and to overclock it a little bit.

android version 2.3.3
baseband 2.15.00.0808

Any help is
 
I got to the point where i had to enter the beta key and as soon as it says enter beta key it says that it is in valid. I have yet to enter the key
 
Basically all you need to do is located make sure your phone is plugged into the computer with computers connected to the Internet. It should automatically downloadbthe drivers once its plugged in as "disk drive ". On your phone go to settings /applications /development and check "debugging". Go to revolutionary.io and put in your serial number that's under the battery to get your beta Key. Download the revolutionary program, extract it. Run the program, type in your beta Key and let it do its thing and you'll be rooted.

Make sure you type it in exactly as it gives it. It may take a few times to get it right as certain letters or numbers look like other letters or numbers
 
If for some reason revolutionary is not accepting the beta key you may have to reset to unrevoked, but before you do that do a Factory Reset on data or Unrevoked 3 will continuously fail asking if your firmware is too new, if you don't want to loose anything by Factory Reset then contact revolutionary support by finding their IRC channel on revolutionary.io.
 
Thanks for the help. I now have S off. but I cant use the wifi tether because of the version of kernel doesnt have all necessary features to run the app.

is there a fix for this?
 
i just went to htcevohacks and watched a video. the video showed installing superuser and it is now fixed. thanks for all the information guys.

one last question any rom suggestions? on evohacks there is a mikg rom that looks pretty good.
 
There's a bunch of roms on XDA-developers.com. I'd recommend the MikG v3.0 with Chopsuey kernel. Also Tommeytomatoes classic v0.0.5 finale is great too.
