[Mr. Ed]

Yes. If you are on 2.2 you will either need to use Unrevoked 3.21 or you will need to flash back to 2.1 and root from there. Both ways require a computer.

Sorry to read of your troubles. I don't think there is a way to do that with current version of EVO software.
Regarding your pics. Do you have a card reader you can hook your card to pc with and get them off with?

can you explain exactly what you did?if you can give us more info so that we could help you. did you try unrevoked forever on your phone? what software version do you have? also check your hboot. power off (uncheck fastboot first. setting/apps/uncheck fastboot) then press and hold power+vol down. this will take you to the bootloader and at the top will be your hboot version.

So I just upgraded from my Hero to an Evo (woot!) and was wondering if there is a way to root it without using a computer. My computer is currently dead and although I'm familiar with rooting and flashing (on my Hero) I don't know what options the Evo has. I'd really like to get rooted soon but, have no computer. If this can't be done just say so, if it can, how!?

My only guess is to download GingerBreak by going on your Phone browser and search it up, install the latest version you find, I will ge you the link.
Next is install 4shared and look up and install z4 root, Im not saying It will work, I just know it worked on some of my devices.

yeah those are old exploits that have been closed by the latest ota's. if the phone is current, they will not work.
