Here's how to root HTC Evo 4G LTE:
This will give you full root with SuperSU app and busybox.
Completely safe to do, it can't brick your phone in any way but your dog or cat might BURN UP!
For Windows, update drivers using driver files below then double-click on runme.bat.
For Linux, no drivers needed, unzip Evo4GLTERoot.zip to your Downloads directory then open up a terminal and do:
Code:
cd Downloads/Evo4GLTERoot
chmod 755 *
sudo ./adb-linux devices
Then do:
Code:
sh runmelinux.sh
For Mac, no drivers needed, unzip Evo4GLTERoot.zip to your Downloads directory then open up a terminal and do:
Code:
cd Downloads/Evo4GLTERoot
chmod 755 *
sh runmemac.sh

If you need to unroot, here's RUU: (use the version that's same as your software version)

I am sure you probably rooted it but the best way to show that it is rooted is probably to show titanium backup instead of showing an app that anybody can get off the market with or without root.
Edit: I guess showing the script can suffice. Cool beans

Does bootloader show tampered? I know on the one x's it did, but would go away with ruu.
Good job and Congrats!!
I knew it wouldn't be long for root

UPS shows mine as delivered...I know what I am doing tonight! I too would like to know if the bootloader stays legit.

Does this give us S-OFF?

Worked like a charm. Titanium is very busy right now!

Yes the bootloader shows tampered. I also am stuck in a bootloop since running this.
Edit: Ok boot loop is gone but bootloader still shows tampered.

So ZedoMax, did this untamper your bootloader? I'm eager to try this root but I'd prefer to know if your bootloader reads as tampered

Is there a way to unroot if needed so bootloader does not display tampered?

I think you can flash RUU to get rid of it, let me try that right now...

thanks for the method.. ill keep an eye out.. one thing ive learned from the evo is not jump on the first root to come along lol.. i will let the braver souls test it for the masses and when we get a confirmed way to root but save the warranty will be all over it
