Owners of popular HTC phones like an Evo, myTouch, G2, and others can now root their phone in just a few simple steps with the HTC Super Tool for Windows.
The tool uses the popular zergRush exploit, which works on a number of HTC phones and can be found in other tools like previously mentionedRevolutionary. With just a few clicks, you can root your phone, get S-OFF, unlock the bootloader, get rid of Sense, and more. You can even unroot by re-running the program. Right now, the device has been tested on the Evo Design 4G, Evo 4G, Evo 3D, Evo Shift, T-Mobile G2, myTouch 3G and 4G, Inspire, Sensation, Incredible, Wildfire S, and Amaze, though it should work on a number more. If you test it with your phone and find that it works, let the developer know over at XDA, and email me at whitson+rootingguide@lifehacker.com so I can add it to the list. We'll be adding this method to our always up-to-date rooting guide as well very soon. Hit the link to check it out.
Update: We weren't able to test this one ourselves, and it looks like a lot of people are having trouble with this program. At the moment, the developer has yet to help anyone with their issues, but it looks like some of the above phones may not actually be supported. We're going to hold off on adding it to the rooting guide for now, but give it a shot if you like (and let us know how it goes. If it doesn't work, check out our preferred methods for rooting these phones instead.
