Want to root HTC EVO 4G? Running Android 2.2? Follow my simple instructions and you’ll be there in no time at all. It’s literally a one-click process.

But first, let’s take a brief look at the benefits of rooting EVO phones in the first place for those who are either new to this subject or simply not convinced.

Rooting your phone is lifting the restrictions imposed. If you’ve ever tried, for example, to uninstall Spring NASCAR app, you’ll know that it’s not possible… that is, if your phone has not been rooted. Rooting your phone gives you complete freedom over your phone. It gives you the ability to remove the Sprint applications that are on stuck on your phone otherwise. It gives you deeper customization possibilities. It gives you free WiFi Tethering (or Hotspot Tethering). It allows you to easily create complete backups of your phone. Finally, for the tinkerers among you, it allows you to install custom ROMs which are in essence customized Operating Systems (think Windows 7, OSX, etc).

Ready to root? It’s easy. Very easy.

First, if you’re a Windows user you absolutely must install HBOOT drivers.

Visit the unrevoked website, download Unrevoked 3.21, run it and follow instructions.

NOTE: When asked for USB connection type, select “Charge Only” and “Remember this”.

If you have any issues whatsoever, there are many great YouTube videos that cover the process in detail.

Finally, enjoy your freedom!
