We already knew the HTC EVO 4G had been rooted ahead of its official launch, considering that Google gave away a unit to each Google I/O 2010 conference attendee. Now, just in time for its big debut, a senior member at the XDA-Developers forum has made available the HTC EVO 4G root that many have been longing for along with tutorials and instructions. Additionally, the folks at Android Central have posted a step-by-step walkthrough for those brave enough to give this a try.
Please take into account that while this might not be rocket science, there’s still no room for error. Erictric is not responsible for any broken or bricked devices. Proceed to root your HTC EVO 4G at you own risk. With that said, let us know how everything turns out. Brownie points for those who successfully manage to root their device on launch day.
