Just curious, I got a replacement phone sent to me last week. Hboot is 2.10 Can I still do the root process like I did with my previous evo?

You should be able to, as long as it's compatible with 2.10.

I greatly appreciately all the work everyone did to provide this to us. Thank you. I have a question though. I followed the instructions posted over at [GUIDE] One Click How to Root EVO with Unrevoked 3.21 - xda-developers (unrEVOked3) and then ran the command c:\evo-recovery\adb-windows shell after placing that folder on my c:\ but I did not give me the # prompt, su did not work either I was denied. Now I am going to try your section 1 and 2 methods. I am going to be using the PC methods as I have not activated the phone yet. I am going to be using Metro PCS and I believe I will need to root the phone first and possibly flash it for use with Metro PCS. I have the CDMA toolkit and QPST and A-key calc. but before I get to all that I would like to know if I am even supposed to use the method for other than HBOOT 2.02 as I have HBOOT 2.10.0001; Android V 2.2; kernel V 2.632.14-qee557fd; BUild 3.70.651.1; Hardware V 0003; Baseband V 2.15.00.11.19.
Can I just continue to use section 1 and 2 after I already ran unrEVOked3 with the mod driver? And am I using the correct method for my HBOOT V 2.10.0001?

Just wanted to know, when you root your phone, does it erase all your setting and programs that are currently on both your SD card and phone? If so how can I back up all my data to my laptop?

First, I have had the same samsung flip phone for 5 years. I decided to upgrade. I bought an HTC EVO 4G on ebay. I had a problem activating on Sprint network. Took the phone to Sprint. They said it has been Jail Broke, and has software called "Fresh". They were able to activate. After reading I understand most likely the phone has been rooted instead of Jailbroken. Should this concern me? Will this still do the things an HTC EVO 4G should do.

Nothing to worry about...
Jailbroken = Rooted (same thing)

Jailbreaking usually refers to iPhones, were as on a Android device, you're technically trying to gain "root" access so it's normally called "rooting".

The fact that Sprint told you it was "jailbroken" should give you create comfort in knowing that you have a great community on here to help you w/ your phone because most (not all) Sprint employees are clueless.

It's kind of like taking your PC to a PC repair shop because your wifi isn't working and the tech tells you that he can fix it for you and you'll be back on the internets watching the youtube in no time.
Yes, those words are associated w/ PC technology, but the fact that they misuse them, wouldn't give you much confidence in their ability to fix you pc.
