also do a nandroid back up just in case whatever your flashing dosnt work right. Its a system restore point for your rooted android.

MAKE SURE .. you do a Amon 1.8 nand backup. Not a Clockwork.

Why? The ever important RSA keys are backed up by Amon only. It takes an image of the wimax radio.

I borked my RSA keys and had to get my phone replaced... there is no fix when the RSA keys are gone. WiMax will never work again.

go into recovery and choose wipe..from there you'll see wipe/data, cache, dalvic cache..select and run each one twice.

We can back up the rsa keys now

Good way to backup WiMax RSA keys. Works before Rooting, and on stock OEM Roms. - xda-developers

What does this do, or I guess the better question is what is the benefit?

I am newly converted to the EVO, from a TP2, which I had unlocked and flashed.

The directions on which steps to follow reference having HBOOT version 2.02 or not having 2.02. However, I suspect that what it's really saying is 2.02 vs prior/lower than 2.02.

I have HBOOT 2.10. Do I follow the 2.02 instructions?

Okay, so I got this evo like less than a week ago. Before I got it I read that I can get WiFi tethering for free through rooting the phone. so I read more about it and it reminded me of the days of custom firmware on my psp and jailbreaking my ipod touch... but like all new things I know nothing about it. I read through the huge sticky about rooting and flashing and all and I was left saying "huh?"
I saw a guy on YouTube , he had a guide on rooting using unrevoked3. I followed it and was left empty handed, mid way through when the phone was supposed to reboot into recovery for the second time it just rebooted... I know messing with stuff like hat is dangerous so I decided to ask someone how I can fully root my evo and not make it a very expensive paperweight... hence my being here...
Sorry for the long post, and I know I am a newbie when it comes to the inner workings of Android, but if someone decides to assist me It would be greatly appreciated....
