How to Wifi Tether with OTA 1.47 without loosing your info.

[xtatic]

ok guys here it goes i know this my like the 1000th thread but as i was reading earlier the instructions werent clear and lot of ppl were having hard time doing what the needed to do so decided to kindly simplify the process so here it goes for the ppl who have OTA 1.47 to root your phone enough w.o loosing any of your info and data to wirelessly tether.



Files needed for this process are:
unrevoked (attached link at the bottom)

Prep:
(1) Set your phone to "Charge Only:" "Menu," "Settings," "Connect to PC," tap "Default connection type" and select "Charge Only."

(2) Enable USB debugging: "Menu," "Settings," "Applications," "Development," and put a check in "USB debugging."


The root process:

(1) Download the unrevoked3 install package: Go to http://unrevoked.com/recovery/ and click "Download for Windows." Save the "Reflash-bundle.exe" file somewhere that you can find it on your system.

(2) Using Explorer, run the "Reflash-bundle.exe" file you just downloaded. It'll ask where to install it. Don't just accept the default: change the install location to a folder you can remember: it's just going to unzip some files there: it isn't really a software installer.

(3) Next you need the Hboot driver (which is attached at the bottom) When you download those driver files and unzip those, those are the files (the folder) you'll point to in subsequent steps in those instructions.

(4) At this point, if you needed to install the drivers, and your phone should be booted into a normal boot screen which is your home screen.

(5) Now go to the folder where you unzipped the reflash bundle (step 2 above). Just double click the "Reflash.exe" file.

(6) You should get a window with "Unrevoked 3" on it (on the computer of course). Just follow the instructions in smaller font below "Unrevoked 3" to finish rooting. Note that when it says "Waiting for device," it wants you to plug your EVO into the computer via the USB cable. Note that it wants the EVO to be fully booted normally (not in the Hboot or recovery menus). The prompts at this point are very specific so no need to repeat them. If all works as it is supposed to, the only thing you really have to do is scroll to an item on the phone and select it when instructed. The rest is automated and should result in a "Done" message. The whole thing at this point took maybe one minute so it isn't something you have to wait for or stare at for a long time so if something gets "stuck" for a while... there's likely a problem.


when it is done you would at the Clockward Menu go ahead and make sure "reboot system now" is selected and press the power button. At this point your phone will reboot and you are finally rooted.

now go ahead and download the wireless tether apk from the bottom and drag it to your sd card and using any common app installer ( i use astro app manager its the best) install the app and after install you are good to go now simply run the app and check if it works.

any problems please feel free to ask, would love to help.
