How to root HTC EVO Design 4G


Today we will discuss how to root the HTC EVO Design 4G. The EVO Design 4G is an Android-based smart phone, which was launched by Sprint in the US in October 2011. This is the fourth version of the EVO line in Verizon’s lineup. The device’s notable features include aluminum semi-monocoque form, a qHD display, multi-band connectivity, and a relatively small size compared to other Android phones.

The phone is shipped with Android 2.3.4, Gingerbread. HTC has announced a future upgrade of the phone to Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich. HTC has layered the stock Android OS with HTC Sense version 3.0 to visually provide a different user experience.

Before we start, DISCLAIMER: Rooting may void the device’s warranty and the below mentioned method may be a bit risky and we are not responsible if the device is damaged or you lose data, therefore it is advisable to please proceed at your own risk.

Make sure that the battery is fully charged, because if the battery drains totally during the rooting process, bricking may happen. Also make sure to create a backup of the device data such as SMS, internet settings, contacts and other media files in order to get data back in case of problems.

Step 1: Make sure all the HTC device drivers are installed on the PC. You can get all the drivers in the bundled package, which came with your device or you can visit this site to download them.

Step 2: Make sure to enable USB Debugging on the smart phone. The path to enable USB debugging is
Settings > Applications > Development > Turn USB Debugging ON.

Step 3: Now download the ACS HTC Super Tool from here

Step 4: Now extract the contents of the Zip file to a location of your choice.

Step 5: Now right click the SuperTool.exe file within the extracted files and select the command to “run as administrator” to run the program.
