Can someone point me in the right direction to accomplish this just have the updates and fixes and get root enough to use wifi tether and keep the stock rom please?
So I'm assuming you have not done the OTA 1.47.651.1.
If not, follow the link in my siggy to root your phone. Don't just do one part though. Do the full-root process. That way you can make a backup and restore if needed later on. It's very simple, just follow section 1&2.
Also, rooting your phone and not installing a rooted rom will cause problems.
At minimum, flash the rooted version of the Sprint rom. Unfortunately, they don't have a version of the latest Sprint OTA rom rooted.

As far as getting the 1.47.651.1 benefits, you should install a custom rom that has that. The custom roms work fine. They're not all tweaked out and customized like they use to be in Windows Mobile.

OMJ's rom has the latest radios and everything is working fine.
The tutorial in my sig also shows you how to flash a custom rom.
