Ok, so I keep reading about the Temp roots out there, and all I really want to do is root only for the WiFi capability. I honestly don't care about rooting other than that. I run a small business and need WiFi hotspot, but don't want to shell out $30 to Sprint every month for something I use maybe once a week. I had my EVO rooted, but got very addicted to flashing, which just took up more and more of my time....ugh... Any thoughts?
TIA
Temp root can't get much easier other than making an app

You can use the latest temp root and use barnacle wifi tether from the market.
Then what are you waiting for. Root your phone and get barnicle from the market.
I'm sorry, I thought u had to be perm rooted to use WiFi...?
Not for the barnacle app. You just need to be able to give it su permissions which you can do with temp root.

With that said, which version of the temp root do you guys recommend?

And don't use barnacle... It's only ad-hoc. Use the latest wifi tether from the web, not the market. There are instructions to make it work here on these forums. When I'm not on the phone I can give you them here

Is there a one click root for the Evo 3d?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Nope sorry. But it shouldnt take more than 10 minutes to root this. If its hboot 1.4 of course. I haven't tried the HTC method so I can't say much about that.
Took less than 10 mins for HTC unlock/root method...
That includes flashing a ROM/kernel and a theme... One click will not happen

Revolutionary is basically one click. Connect phone, enter beta key, run root, done.

Hey Fellas, i used Revolution to root my phone, i have since put many roms on my phone, the rom i currently have is shooter sense 3.0....i love the ROM its awesome, i am in a 4G coverage area and my 4G just says scanning but never connects, just says scannning, so i restored back to some stock rooted rom that i d/l online, 4g still doesnt work. so i then d/l the latest radio by Caulking or whatever, and still no 4G, just says scanning, oi am now back to the shooter sense 3.0 rom and still no 4G, and im in a 4G coverage area, how do i fix this?
Can somebody bump this

Go into the setting click the system info or something and you will find a thing that says update profile. Click that and it should work

Had this same issue occur on my EVO4G, back in the day. Basically when they first were new. Messed around too much and somehow lost my WiMax keys. Since then I believe they've come up with several ways to repair the issue. What I did then was RUU back to factory, and start the whole root process over. That got my WiMax back.

Reset to factory RUU using the supersonic RUU utility, on the hboot screen it still says s-off and revolutionary at the top...Sole Conslusion is that this phone, per revolutionary CANNOT be unrooted, now that i have the bone stock rom on my evo, the 4G doesnt work, i know this because on the stock evo rom, while searching for 4g you get in the top left part of the screen it states "4G!" which means there is no 4G, well that little symbol is not on the top the screen in either my new rom or the stock rom, stating something is wrong with my 4G...i think i have a unique situation that i need to be fixed...and i cannot find a fix for this
somebody bump this, i think i have a unique situation

Let me start first by saying, this is my second maxx because I rooted and bricked the first one the first day I had it.
I'm posting this to see if anyone can confirm a wifi tether app working on the stock rom (rooted of course) before I root this one because when I root, I'm gonna leave it on the stock rom til the bootloader is unlocked and cwm has a fully working recovery for this phone.
I am currently unrooted with firmware. 181.XT912.Verizon.end.US.
Thanx in advance.

Ill check out the wifi tether app in a few minutes here for u, but cwm does have a fully working recovery unless u mean something different than I'm thinking of. And the boot loader may never be unlocked as far as I know

There is a mobile hotspot hack on these pages somewhere. I couldn't get any tether apps to work but the hack worked wonders. Been using it a lot the last few days I've been on vacation.

I just use FoxFi for a tether app and works great
Foxfi works well and doesn't require root.

FoxFi is a free app in Google Play, and does not require root. BTW, it's very doubtful that Motorola will ever unlock the bootloader.

Yes, I've been using FoxFi for about 4 months now, and VZW is non the wiser. My bill has stayed the same.
Just a note about FoxFi- occasionally, when you turn the hot spot on, it won't show on the device you want to send wifi to. Turn the hot spot off and back on again, and normally, you're good to go. It's not a perfect app... but it is free, does not require root, and won't effect your bill.
Is there a way to root the EVO 4G LTE without unlocking the bootloader , because I have not yet found a method .

No, I believe the bootloader has to be unlocked because installing the superSU package requires modifying the system partition which can't be done with a locked bootloader.

Do you know a method to unlock while keeping all non-sd files , I dont mind if everything is formatted , but I'd be nice to keep them .

S- off roots without unlocking. As does zedomax. As does the HTC universal rooter.
Its gonna depend in your hboot

Yeah i was gonna say....im on 1.12 and also was soff with my 3D and 4g. Ive never used htc unlock system. Seems from what i have read its bs. Naturally i skip 90% about it because it doesnt apply to me but yeah im rooted and soff and i have never even been to the site much less done the process? I wouldnt have bought this device without s off. I waited a couple weeks after launch till they had it then i purchased it. They seem to have alot more available now than they once did but still an annoying unnecessary hassle i couldnt stand. This my 3rd rooted evo so you learn as you go. If it matters to you it wont happen to you again but for many it is irrelevant. The guys i feel bad for are replacement guys who by no fault of there on have no choice.

The problem you guys are having is that most dev and root users with experience 90% of the time do as i did and purchase there device when launched or close to it. When the evo 4g lte was launched most used the s off style of root and once achieved there was not alot of dev work towards doing it for the updated versions. Im sure its being tried but not many....that kinda thing is done the first week of the device. Hope you guys do find a method because it slows down dev process by spliting us.

I found how to root without unlocking , but that requires a previous firmware version , and I do not want to downgrade .

For the record, violating warranty by unlocking hboot is only an issue with HTC, Sprint doesn't really care
I'm trying to use RegawMod , but it always freezes on Rebooting to Bootloader , help . I've tried on 2 computers already .
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Its a known issue manually reboot the phone when regawmod says rebooting phone, or try running it with the phone in fastboot
I think it was because I was missing AndroidLib.DLL

It should be in local temp files, at least I think that's where the files get to. Most of the time rebooting manually gets it going
Tried , it the application on my computer always freezes .

Well you can always download the adb mini SDK and sign up to HTC developers. It's a pretty painless process.
