I wonder how do you unlock NAND? I believe I did root my evo and was able to flash many roms but I couldn't flash CM6 rom because of sdcard error and I was advised toi unlock NAND or do engineering the bootloader. How do I do that? Please help
You should start over.
Download the newest RUU from here - http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Supersonic/
Then use the SimpleRoot method to root and unlock everything here -

so i have already done this whole process and flashed to a custom ROM

Some roms are flashed using the PC36IMG.zip file. For those, you just place the file on your sdcard and power off the phone then hold volume down while you power the phone back on.
It will read the PC36IMG.zip file and ask you if you want to update.

Others are just zip files. For example, I just installed the new Cyanogenmod Froyo rom. It was called "cm_supersonic-07192010-045042.zip"
Put the zip on your sdcard and then follow the steps from post #1 starting at
2L.

Yes, either the steps I describe in Section 5 of the 1st post or use SimpleRoot.

Everything is stable. The only thing is that I don't believe there is a Superuser Permissions icon. Without the icon, some superuser apps won't work.
You should root the phone and install a custom rom that is very close to Sprint's if that's what you like. Many of the custom roms are very stable and everything works.
