Im new here so i am sorry if i put this in the wrong place
i currently have the stock rom of 3.70.651.3 on my evo and used the unrevoked software to disable the Hboot 2.10 security but due to a Validation Error: of CID is missing somewhere in the process i have been unable to confirm if i have a total complete full control root.
However with the S-Off i was able to flash the clockworks mod recovery and flashed the superuser account on to my device giving me the much needed WIFI teether but i am unable to uninstall the stock apps such as blockbuster.
can you please post the files that i can flash or install from the SD card that will give me the rest of the root access?
i have superuser root but not a total root i need a complete root without having to completely override the stock software is this possible?

Being fully rooted doesn't mean that you can delete "every" single application. There are two places you run programs from. One is /system which is a locked location (although you can still delete them from here with apps such as root explorer, etc.) and the other location is in /data. Some applications are intentionally left in system memory on my rom so that users don't accidentally delete an app that is needed for other processes within the ROM. While you may think one particualr app only served one function, most system apps are called on by various processes and removing a system app would cause problems elsewhere in other applications.
There are plenty of resources on the site to read up on which are safe to remove and which aren't. For the most part I have made everything I have deemed as safe to remove uninstallable from within the Applications menu.
