Yeah glad to be here finally!
I checked out that thread and it all looked like it was older material for when the evo came out except for the part that said " How to root Android 2.2 on the Evo 4G" which took me to the thread that I first linked in my post above. I also found that other thread and didn't know which one would be better for me since I have a totally stock 3.29 phone right now?
