You're welcome but my friends call me winmo :laughing6:

So you went through all the steps to full root?
Then you have the keys to the candystore. \\:D/

Re: Rooting and Flashing EVO Instructions for super n00b's on PC's
 

Thanks

Sorry of this is a stupid question...but which after root ROM provides a "stock/OEM" experience (as in no problems...use evo for work), but lets you have access to titanium bkup, and wireless abilities, etc?

Also...can you use your backed up home scenes after being rooted?

just wanted to say thanks to fastrx and winmo for help and great thread. Finally got around to rooting my Evo and flashing a custom rom. Everything seems flawless so once again thanks guys!

Thanks for the info... You made it easy. Purchased new EVO, rooted, and flashed new rom all before noon. :mrgreen:

i am waiting for the morning to say .. ok today is the day to ROOT ... just been lazy .. as of right now .. the custom ROMS .. really just get rid of bloatwear and u will be able to load custom themes in which there aren't many as of yet ... and being able to tether is the biggest factor ... an u tether from a MAC with that app on market? havent looked into as of yet

Welcome to the party riley and rip. Happy to help. Fast has provided a tremendous service to all us Droid n00bs.


IMO the current crop of ROMs looks like this-OMJ is the most stock-esque with minor tweaks. It is rock solid, been on it for two weeks and there are no hiccups. Wireless tether is included and works perfectly.
Fresh ROM is great too, tried it for a day, it has a few more tweaks for battery and speed than OMJ. I tried Fresh2 and liked it, Fast tried Fresh3 and thought it was a bit slower than OMJ.
Bugless beast looks pretty well modified-havent tried it, just read the change logs.
With nand back ups it's simple to try out something new and jump back to what you're comfortable with very easily.

There are other ROMs out there-just throwing out three examples at various levels of modification.

@JZ-Titanium back up will back up all your Sense UI settings-wallpaper, widgets, screen layout etc.

Thanks for the update...question, since you need to be rooted prior to using titanium, I assume that all my current "pages" will be lost? not a biggy, just curious. Please let me know, and thanks again!

ok i cant get my phone into recovery. i hit the htc sync but nothing.. i type what i have too


any ideas?

Re: EVO Full Root|Recovery|Nand Backup/Restore|Flashing for n00b's Instructions & Vid
 

Sorry, thought you were rooted and going from Part I to Part II-full root.
Not sure but I've heard Sprite backup is a good non-rooted app and *may* bacl up your Sense settings....if not have fun customizing once you flash :grin:

Which step are you at exactly? Going into recovery for Part I or for Part II- the Nand bypass?
Just fyi-htc sync is not needed. Charge Only will work as long as USB debugging is enabled.
