Well the HTC EVO 4G has been successfully rooted. As most of you know, rooting is not equivalent to jailbreaking for a few reasons. One because it gives you more options other than apps but secondly because it’s much harder for the average Joe.
One of the original rooters, Matt Mastracci, there are a number of flaws in the security of the phone leaving it wide open for other apps to access your data. How do he and his team plan team plan on fixing this matter? Simple, cut out reason number two. Mastracci and company plan on releasing an “unrEVOked” exploit which should make it simpler to root your phone. Maybe something like the classic cupcake such as one-click to install a custom recovery, but I can only hope. He also has stated that if Sprint gives users full access (root) he will release the exploits otherwise it’s not gonna happen. The odds Sprint gives in? Slim to none.
Don’t worry though because unrevoked will be here soon. The same day as the EVO launch, which happens to be….WAIT WHAT?!?!!? TODAY!!!!! We’ll follow up once the exploit has been released into the wild.
