Re: How to Root Your Evo

I'm just looking for a FAQ on rooting. Why do it? What does it do? What are the effects of rooting on the stock rom? Can I restore to the original image if something goes wrong? Can this be stated on the front page instead of 10 pages in? This phone is the first Android most people are getting. Not everyone knows of the potential of what this phone can do and why we should be taking these chances with our new hardware. If I can unlock certain locked features with this update I'm all for it but I'm not really hearing that.

Okay I found an answer to a couple of my questions here:

if you don't even have a reason to root your phone, don't root it. this is not a guide explaining the possibilities or root or what you can do with it, this is a guide on how to root. And yes you can return back to stock after root but then again this guide isn't for returning back to stock, its for how to root purposes only.
