Hey so I just moved to a different country and I was wondering if rooting my Evo would unlock it so that I can use it here. Is that possible?

Thanks. And thank you. That actually saved me a lot of wasted time. Uhm is there any way I can downgrade my phone to a "rootable" version?

Ok so I looked at my Dad's Evo and he is running with firmware 2.2...Can I root his?
you can definitely root that one. you can read the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/194918-rooting-dummies.html guide. read it thoroughly before rooting.
the only thing i'm not sure is how you would get it to run outside of the us. what country are you in?
