Hey Paul,

I know that you have done phenomenal work on the N1 and numerous other devices (saw your tweet about
rooting the Dell Streak already, congrats!).

I was wondering if you had any knowledge of the insides of the EVO.  Toastcfh and maejrep over at XDA have
manage to get a root that will allow us to write to /system while in recovery, but not while in android, and
the custom recovery has to be pushed each and every time as well.  Something about a locked NAND...

I was sorta hoping I could talk you into taking a look at it    You know, divide and conquer.  Many hands make
short work, lol

You offering to buy him an Evo to work on as well?

even if u do, there is no 4G (or CDMA) here in UK!

I guess its a long shot...we all want EVO 4G this side of the pond though!

i saw his tweet today, and checked out the new recovery.  it works on the evo,
but we can't select anything in the menu, because we don't have a trackball!


i hope something can get worked out.  maybe some of our devs can push our altered recovery
into an update.zip, same as they did

just in case anyone was wondering, toastcfh got nand unlocked for the evo  

check it out at xda-dev
