First thing you should to is run a backup of apps/data and contacts/sms/call history if that sort of thing is important to you(I use my backup pro). Maybe running a nandroid backup isn't such a bad idea right now, just in case, either.
Then you'll need to find a rom you'd like to use..(don't worry if you can't narrow down to one, they're not hard to flash so you can try a few). Just make sure it doesn't require any special requirements such as new hboot or firmware. Once downloaded move the new rom zip to the root of your sd card.
Reboot into recovery(while device is powered off, hold volume down and power, in bootloader screen select recovery). Preform a factory reset/wipe device from the menu(most new roms have option to wipe device before install but just in case). Then also from the menu select install, navigate to the rom zip and install it. Once it finishes and reboots you should be all good to enjoy your newly flashed rom!!
Just be sure to do alil homework before hand and read from others to see whether wifi tether is working or not. I can vouch that it's working correctly on Viper3d's rom (android 4.03, htc 4.1) Only thing not working is 4g and 3d. (you can tho view previously recorded 3d pics/videos!!) If you need any links to a super wipe tool(for wiping device) or any roms let me know!!

Hmmm... Cool. When I hold down the power button, I have the option to boot into bootloader. I could def use some help finding a ROM that will work well. I shouldn't have ever used a custom ROM in the first place. I just don't know enough about this stuff. When I was talking about upgrading, i meant more along the lines of a legit, Sprint update that would give me the newest Sprint stock ROM. All I want now is smart glass, and a few other apps that won't work on this phone now.
