Re: Rooted or not?

I'd rather run official and get my updates from Sprint.

I'll save rooting my EVO for a rainy day. Although it never seems to rain here in Vegas. :P

Re: Rooted or not?

Was rooted via Unrevoked, now rooted via Toastch method. About to check out 2.2. I'm stoked about the ability to back up ROMs and quickly flash back and forth if necessary.

Re: Rooted or not?

Almost a third of owners polled running stock... more than half that did root, used toast's method..

cool

P.S. Wonder how that will change after today's FOTA.
