hey guys it's Jeff Farina with pocketnow.com and today we're going to route the HTC EVO 4G using this tool right here which is called Unruh vocht and you can use that tool by going to n revoke com so today's gonna be an experiment on rooting the HTC EVO and seeing if this tool actually works the way it promises let's go ahead and get started alright and we are back and as you can see we are here on an revoked comm and they have these five main phones on their home screen all of which use HTC Sense so because we're going to be using the HTC EVO 4G we're going to head and click on this icon here and now it gives us the option to download the actual route Andrew flesh as you can see here it's painless so if you want to route your device but you're not too comfortable with doing all the modifying this seems to be a good tool for you so we're gonna click here now are using a Mac to do this however you can use as you see the Mac as well as lytx and window so it supports the three major platforms we're gonna go ahead and download the Mac version alright and we now have the Unruh Vokes tool open on our screen and as you can see here it's telling us that it's a painless route and reflash and it's telling us to basically when the bootloader restarts you press the volume down button to the Aged boot USB option and then press power and it's going to use the recovery image of clockworkmod so as you can see we've now plugged in our HTC EVO here and hopefully you can see this and we're going to select the option for HTC Sync which is basically going to mount this as a USB device can you see we are now connecting what this is now going to do is actually automatically connect to revoked alright now what's happened and the image flashed very quickly it was tough to see it but it actually gave us an image here saying that it was pushing the reef flasher so we've automatically open up to the boot screen now we want to go down to the H boot USB option so to do that we're going to use the volume down button as you can see right there and now we're going to press the power button to actually select it now we've actually gone ahead and selected that option it will take a little bit for it to actually click in and now you can see waiting for H boot to be ready running pre boot sequence all on a none revoke so again this is very similar to jailbreaking your iPhone with a spirit tool or a quick polling tool as you can see here it's rebooting the HTC EVO while it's also telling us waiting for a reboot alright and now we're getting the message that it's rebooting into recovery on the Unruh VOC tool as you can see we're just getting the blank screen here so that is normal waiting for device so now it's going to initialize the device again on the recovery image this time and I'm trying to show you both at once just so you can kind of see how they're working in unison here and no it's a little tough to see but now let's say what waiting for the device and there's the recovery itself actually showing up and now it's saying done so now we are good to go we are fully rooted I have these super user privileges here as you can see in terms of applying these updates wiping installing zips from the SD card nandroid partitioning etc etc alright just to confirm that we do in fact have Super User permissions here as you can see going into the menu we have Super User permissions which will allow you to enable access to certain programs that require route from the market and other applications itself so once again this has been the Unruh vocht way to route your HTC EVO give us a thumbs up for risking our phone here hey les will give us a thumbs up if you just liked this video please leave a comment and of course stay tuned for more thanks for watching everyone
