Root is this problem solveable???

[darkworld260]

so i need to flash S-off to say S-on but i have no clockwork recovery or SU commands and evey single unrooting guide that i have seen says you have to flash Unrevoked S-on tool through clockwork recovery so how do i change S-off to S-on?????? so far i havnt gotten an answer to that question

Also i havnt been using my phone in fear that i might mess it up some how and i need it tomorrow...

Maybe you need to run unrevoked again to gain root. Get clockwork, then flash the S-on tool.

When i ran it the first time it stopped and said Firmware Version to new?
so im kind of scared to run it again cause i dont wanna brick my second evo

I don't think you have a choice. You need clockwork to flash files and the only way to get it is to root it.

Is their any chance of anything else going wrong?

did you read this thread.? http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/249730-unrevoked3-your-firmware-too-new.html
try uninstalling any task killers or antivirus apps you have. also maybe on your computer try uninstalling HTC syn (if you have it on your computer). if you don't have it install it then uninstall it.

i did read that and i did a factory reset of my phone before i tryed to root to ensure of no errors.... so then now i just need to try and install HTC Sync and uninstall it cause it will give me the drivers i need?

Yes. You need the drivers.

do i update them with unrevoked Hboot drivers or no just leave as is?

 

[ocnbrze]

not sure but from what i read in the link above, it would not hurt if you did.

omg it worked sweet im not going to unroot because my phone is working just fine and you guys are life savers!!!

SWWEETT. checkout the after root section of the dummy guide so that you do not have to the "i'm rooted, now what question?"

 

[Pioneer74]

First thing you need to do is make a backup.

Do that before you do anything else. That is what will get you out of trouble in the future.
