I'm pretty sure that you can't root an OG Evo w/SOC.

What version of HBoot does your Evo have shumpert? Menu, settings, applications, development, uncheck Fast Boot. Power down, press Vol Down+ Power, on the white screen look at the top and write down which version of HBoot it has and post back. I'll reply w/directions to root, s-off and flash CWM Recovery.

I have a galaxy s vibrant and it is my first android phone.
What are the benifits of rooting it?
Will it run slower if I update the OS?
Can I run Ice Cream Sandwitch?

I have an iPhone 4s as my work phone and I like it, I just figured I'd get an android to check them out.

Rooting just changes permissions and lets you do more with the phone.
No.
Yes.

if you didn't have to root an android phone to get it to work right, then i would have one. i know it's not super hard to do, but i dont have a computer of my own to tinker with it. so i'll keep my $20 3gs i got from a friend till prices drop... a lot!

My Android HTC EVO has worked just fine for the year that I have owned it. The battery does run down faster than I'd like it to but I was used to only charging my phone twice per week. Now I charge it every night. I will probably root it in the near future based on all the input that has been posted on this website regarding it. I've just been a little leary of doing so, I just want it to work without having to tinker with it everyday.

What's the easiest way to root my EVO 4G, I've looked into it a little but its been a while. Messed with jailbreaking some before I got the EVO.

What about Verizon vs Matt's network? Pros and cons?

Ummm, what is "Matt's" network?

LOL @ thinking you are going to convince a group of Doctors to give up their iOS devices. I've worked with Doctors and implementing technology for the last 10 years. Not a snowball's chance in hell.

Sorry.

Can't do that with an iPhone.

Nope...my options are :silent mode, airplane mode, choose profile, reboot, or power off.

I've tried all the methods posted in this thread and so far none of them have worked.

Didn't work for me either, but I was told it wouldn't work with the first gens (I got mine the week it came out). I don't know if it's true or not, but that's what I've heard.

Dl either of these, move to root of sd, reboot into recovery, Backup/Restore>backup>wipe cache>wipe dalvik>install from sd>choose zip>install

This is a newer build than what you're using and should have the SS feature. If not, lemme know and I'll find an apk for ShootMe or the like.
