How to install 3.29.651.5 OTA and be rooted *stock rom*

First off you have to have -off when you boot into the console

If you are not, don't post here until you are. You're wasting my time and others.

second if you have deleted any app from the stock rom you are more than likely going to have to flash the stock ruu

located here MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service Thanks to Kend01

after you have flashed the ruu or running stock rooted rom (will wipe everything if you have to install the ruu)

go to settings-system updates-HTC Software Update and do a check

you will be prompted with a upgrade to 3.29.651.5 OTA (if you install the official ota you get current pri and baseband)

download and install - phone will reboot and install OTA

you may get a green circle with a arrow in the center it took me about 5-10 minutes before that went away and it booted into 2.2 (i was impatient and popped the battery out a bunch of times thinking i froze it up. let it load)

download the pc36img of clockwork recover (its like 3 megs)

http://downloads.unrevoked.com/forev...od/PC36IMG.ZIP

also download the current version of superuser

put these 2 files on your sd card (delete all previous zips)

turn off Evo
boot into bootloader (hold volume down than press power) it will launch the clock work recover and when prompted install it

dont reboot

go into recovery

than install superuser from the sd card

reboot

wallah you have rooted stock 2.2 and superuser access for wifi tether among other things

one drawback I noticed with the current ota you are stuck with the sprint zone and you can not shut it off as it requires 1 item to be checked no matter what now
