Do a nandroid backup before you flash a custom rom. The rooting process will basically root your phone rom while you're running the Sprint rom. After it's rooted, do a nandroid backup. Then just to be extra safe, copy the nandroid backup folder from your sdcard onto your pc. That way you can't lose your original backup file. Then you can start trying out different custom roms.

I haven't had issues trying to unroot the phone, but others have. However, ultimately, they do get back to stock if they need it.

Yes, make sure you follow section 5.
Make sure you have the correct files on your phone and that your phone can connect to the pc.
Make sure you read each step and that you get the same results as you go through each step.

It's actually pretty easy, just a little intimidating the 1st time, but it really is a simple process.
