I'm sure you know why this is a concern.
2. i see you say to install a custom rom or atleast the rooted version of the sprint rom but i followed the link you suggest and i dont know which one is the most recent. Could you help identify the correct one.
Currently I have the OTA 2.2 froyo stock for my HTC Evo. Thanks.
BTW I am following these steps: ROOTING Part I and Part II (Full Root) section 2 ver 2. I believe this is the right option for my phone. Again thanks

First, with Froyo you need to start here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765496
as Fast has linked in Post #1.
After you complete the process you can come back here for more tips on flashing and backing up.
AFAIK there is no way to back up the stock, unrooted ROM.
Once you root then you should back up your ROM so you have something to fall back to.
What ROM you choose is up to you.
I'm mobile atm, search for rooted Stock Froyo for the Evo. I'll post a link later if you can't find it.
EDIT:
Here's a link to Stock Froyo, rooted
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352
and +1 what tool said, follow the instructions to downgrade Froyo to an earlier OS and use any method to root. Personally I'd use the instructions from Fast's tutorial or Simply root (which is just the automatic version of the steps listed here by Fast)

The ony thing I have seen is unrevoked forever.... anything else out there?

Congrats on getting moved to the "master thread"
Like tool points out, there is no root method for Froyo. Froyo can be downgraded to an earlier OS and then that can be rooted as always.
