Thanks for the link. Here is another good one I found that gives detailed instructions on setting it up on a virtual machine and running the kitchen. It also includes info on pulling the rom image files from the stock image (which we now have).

LINK

They describe VirtualBox, but I used VMware and used Linux Mint as my OS (nicer version of Ubuntu IMO). I ran the kitchen using the EVO rom image and I made my own ROM.

Do you know how I apply the unlock in the kitchen? The kitchen had the option, but I suspect this isn't made for the EVO at this time.

I'm glad to see so many PPCG Legends jumping on the Android Wagon... It's exciting seeing you guys already dipping into the knowledge pool we have here at PPCG...

I can't wait... I'm itching... I feel like a crack feind right now...

when u say unlock, are you referring to the "add root permissions" option?

if so, this is the script to add root:

scripts/ensure_boot_extracted

if [ -d WORKING_* ]
then
  clear
else
  exit 0
fi

echo
echo ROOTING
echo ----------------------------------------------------
echo 
echo The following will be done for root:
echo - Add /system/bin/su
echo - Add /system/app/Superuser.apk
echo - Add su entry to update-script file
echo - Edit default.prop in the ramdisk
echo - Build new boot.img
echo 
echo "Optional (will ask before proceeding):"
echo - Add /system/xbin/busybox 
echo - Add busybox entries to current update-script file
echo 

echo "Press Enter when you are ready"
read enterKey
echo

cd WORKING_*

if [ -e system/bin/su ] 
then
  echo "/system/bin/su already present"
else
  echo "Adding /system/bin/su"
  cp ../tools/su system/bin/
  chmod 04755 system/bin/su
fi

echo


if [ -e system/app/Superuser.apk ] 
then
  echo "/system/app/Superuser.apk already present"
else
  echo "Adding /system/app/Superuser.apk"
  cp ../tools/Superuser.apk system/app/
fi

cd BOOT-EXTRACTED/boot.img-ramdisk

changed=0
echo
echo "Checking default.prop ..."

if [ "`grep -om 1 ro.secure=1 default.prop`" == "ro.secure=1" ]
then
  echo "Set: ro.secure=0"
  perl -pi -e 's/ro.secure=1/ro.secure=0/g' default.prop
  changed=1
fi

if [ "`grep -om 1 ro.debuggable=0 default.prop`" == "ro.debuggable=0" ]
then
  echo "Set: ro.debuggable=1"
  perl -pi -e 's/ro.debuggable=0/ro.debuggable=1/g' default.prop
  changed=1
fi

if [ "`grep -om 1 persist.service.adb.enable=0 default.prop`" == "persist.service.adb.enable=0" ]
then
  echo "Set: persist.service.adb.enable=1"
  perl -pi -e 's/persist.service.adb.enable=0/persist.service.adb.enable=1/g' default.prop
  changed=1
fi

if [ $changed == 1 ]
then
  echo
  echo New default.prop:
  more default.prop
  echo

  if [ -e default.prop.bak ]
  then
    rm default.prop.bak
  fi

  cd ../..
  scripts/build_boot_img

  echo "No changes to default.prop required"
  cd ../..
  rm -rf BOOT-EXTRACTED
fi



cd WORKING_*

if [ -e system/xbin/busybox ]
then
  if [ "`grep -om 1 busybox META-INF/com/google/android/update-script`" == "0" ]
  then
    echo -n
  else
    cd ..
    echo
    echo "busybox already installed"
    echo 
    echo "Completed rooting!"
    echo
    exit 0
  fi
fi

cd ..

echo

If what some are saying about the SD card problems being related to an early release of the OS are true, then the official, shipped, Sprint rom may be useful to fix their bug.
