Re: [TUTORIALS] EVO Full Root|OTA Root|Nand Backup/Restore|Flashing|for n00b's + vide

Ok its 1.17.651.1 I went to the link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715915) you provided and saw that I would need Hboot. What the heck is that? I'm a total newb with this man. I'm sure you already figured that out.

Right but SimpleRoot does not give you the latest 1.47 software, I believe it leaves you rooted but on a non-rooted version of an older stock ROM.
Go into Menu>Settings>About Phone>Software Info>Software number
I'm pretty sure it will end in a .6 which is the # for Stock ROM before the latest OTA. You will still need to flash to a rooted ROM like I mentioned above.
Let me know if I'm wrong on the software #.
