Root Can't get S-OFF!

[UZR10278]

Hello everyone. First off I do not own an Evo 4G so I don't know much about it. I'am trying to help out a friend gain s-off. He rooted awhile back using unrevoked 3. He even flashed cm7 nightlies. But I noticed he did not have s-off. He's tried re-rooting and still s-on. What can he do to gain s-off? Sorry everyone for asking but I don't own an Evo 4g, I own a Htc Glacier (MT4G) rooted s-off, Sim unlock & eng. bootloader, running CM7.1.0 RC-1, 2.6.35.13-cm7-faux123-1.0.7. Anyway, just trying to help a friend. Thanks in advace.

what hboot is the phone? have you tried installing then uninstalling htc drivers. read the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies.html guide. it will show you how to root it.

Flashing unrevoked forever worked for me.

running unrevoked forever should work as well. even after running unrevoked 3. the only difference is that forever adds the s-off flag on to the nv radio permantly. it is there so that if you were to accept the ota you will not loose root.
