HTC Evo Has Been Rooted

May 24 2010, 11:43am CDT | by Robert Evans

Google must have known this would happen. They gave out HTC Evo smartphones to every attendee at their 2010 Google I/O conference last week. Several of the nerdier attendees got right to work hacking the hell out of their new toys. A three person team (Grack.com) managed to root the device after a few hours.

They have posted several photos and a video of the rooted gadget. They also note that this exploit does not work on the Incredible. Congratulations, bold nerds, you've conquered another smartphone and earned the Internet's accolades.
