I'm being told that since my Hboot=2.16 I can't use UNREVOKED. Anyone have any idea if this is correct?

Okay, think I have it figured out. Have to run revolutionary due to ginger.

I love cm. Guy that rooted/flashed mine told me today that CM7 has been updated. I'll probably have him flash it for me next week. I haven't learned how to do this stuff. I'm afraid I'll brick my phone.

Ocnbrze on Android Forums made a wiki for rooting ginger Evo, really helpful. Go check it out and try it for yourself, totally fun. Here is an excerpt.... here is what you do to flash a rom: 1.first you need the vr superwipe: ZZZVR_SUPERWIPE.zip. download it and put it on your card. (optional)* 2.download the rom of your choice and transfer it to your card. 3.go into recovery 4.make a nandroid backup 5.wipe dalvik cache, cache, and data 6.select install (or flash depending on which recovery you have) zip from sdcard 7.find the superwipe file and flash it.(optional) 8.find your rom and flash it. 9.reboot. first boot will take a bit longer then normal, so be patient. *the vr superwipe is an optional step, but i would recommend that you use it. it wipes system, cache, and boot. it wipes those three times. then it wipes the temp files and does that three times. i would not only use this tool to wipe. it should be done in addition to wiping data, dalvik cache and cache. one last thing about superwipe, this will only work with those that have support for amend scripting. only clockwork mod 2.6, amon ra 2.3, and trwp will work. so if you have clockwrok mod 3 and higher you might want to switch recoveries. http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-...d-edition.html
