If you saw yesterday’s rooting news about the DROID 2, you know that the process was a bit longer and more complicated than those we’ve had the luxury of settling into as of late. That’s a price you pay for wanting…nay, needing to get in on the hacks at an early stage. The root hack for EVOs running Froyo is similarly complicated, if not more so. It makes sense because this EVO root method, by Dan Wager, is based on the DROID 2 method, which was achieved by Sebastian Krahmer. This time around, downgrading is part of the process. If you don’t want to follow along, rest assured that the fact that an exploit has been found very likely indicates further development until the hack is a much simpler process.
