Yes if discovered the root would void your warranty though I'd make a case, like my "joke" that the root has NOTHING to do with your screen failure buuuut you probably dont want that fight on your hands.
Check out the downgrade thread before you send her in.

@pastert-you still stuck Bro??
haha nah i had a lighter in my pocket and it caused to much pressure on the screen and cracked under the glass but i already did the root and got the best buy insurance so was wondering about the warranty lol but that would be nuts if the root cracked screens lol

Re: EVO - Root|Recovery|Nand Backup|Flashing for n00b's Instructions & Videos

Thanks a lot man, I had no clue what to do since I'm new to android but I was able to root my phone and flash to fresh rom with this steps. I wasn't able to do the auto recovery method, kept getting an error, but it worked fine with the manual one.

Yes, that seems to be the consensus. I'm going to take that out for now and tell people to stick w/ the manual method.

Re: EVO - Root|Recovery|Nand Backup|Flashing for n00b's Instructions & Videos

dont know if im doing something wrong but i tried the rom app and it doesnt do anything... i try to flash the radio that you can download from the app but nothing happens


anyways, i did it the manual way and im good... to be honest i was kinda worried since im used to flashing on windows..

anyways.. got it going... i think i will wait a little longer to flash a rom.. once something more tweaked is out.. i cant complain too much about the stock rom i guess.

Re: EVO - Root|Recovery|Nand Backup|Flashing for n00b's Instructions & Videos

I remade the videos. Actually, now it's just one video that shows everything.
Plus, it's updated w/ the method I'm using now which is actually a little easier, especially for those having issues getting into recovery mode.

Also, I'm adding a little F.A.Q. section. If you have any suggestions for what questions/answers I can put there, please let me know.

Re: EVO - Root|Recovery|Nand Backup|Flashing for n00b's Instructions & Videos

What does the Nand Backup actually do? And do we only need to do it once, and then all we do is use the rom manager to flash ROMs? Thanks!

Re: EVO - Root|Recovery|Nand Backup|Flashing for n00b's Instructions & Videos

Hey fastRX8, once again, thanks for all of your help. I just wanted to mention something you might want to check out.

After I ran with Calk's ROM for a bit, I wanted to mess around a bit more ... in the interest of learning. It's not a flash addiction!

Anyway, I flashed the stock-rooted ROM I found on XDA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693980).

And then I went to SDX, where joeykrim has an excellent ONLINE ROM builder. (http://forum.sdx-developers.com/deve...al-update-zip/) Right now it mostly removes bloatware, but that will work for many people who are biding their time waiting for 2.2. I removed all of the crazy Sprint apps and dumb widgets I don't use.

He had one for the Moment and I loved it for that device.

Also, that stock-rooted rom gave me that SuperUser icon I didn't get before.

Thanks again!

Thanks.
There's a lot of people making stuff for the EVO now.
Personally, I'm hoping for a kitchen from flipzmode like he made for the Hero.
Don't know if you ever saw his work on the Hero, but basically you could take a stock Hero, connect it to the pc and from the kitchen you could root, backup/restore and customize roms.

His method was so easy it was insane. If he does make a kitchen like that, they should sticky that instead of this thread.
