If I could load shell and get a # as a prompt, that meant I was fully rooted... Well, I followed that route... Cuz I got the # once my phone requested SU permission, I just granted it and the shell switched from $ prompt to # right away.
Thanks again for the quick reply..

My pleasure.
OMJ took care of you other question so I thought I edjumacate you on this one
The rooting of the Evo came in two parts. For clarity we'll just call them Toast Part I and Toast Part II.
Part I gave us root access but did not unlock nand so we couldnt write to /system or boot into Recovery without a computer. aka "partial root"
The Toast Part II gave us the 'keys to the candystore'. aka "full root"
IMHO now that we can have full root access there is only ONE root-full. However the terms are stuck in peoples brains and some (like you) never completed the process so we still talk about partial vs full root.
Having even partial root access will give you the # in adb, you just dont have full access to the entire system. So that's why you saw the #.
You also had to do the '$ to #' switch since when the 1.47 ROMs first dropped adb did not have root access by default. That has been fixed now on OMJ 1.7.
Hope that clears things up for you. Since OMJ rocks
you can enjoy whatever version you are on. Personally I prefer to (want/need/can't sleep unless I) have the latest and greatest
