I got a replacement Evo and it is 1.47.651.1. I want to root it but don’t want to lose my 1.40 PRI. Is there a way to root easily and retain 1.40 PRI? Or when I root is there a way to root with the RA boot loader so I can update to 1.40 when I’m done? I was looking at the simple root option and want to know if that is still the easiest and best way to root 1.47.651.1. Im not that into the command line thing and just want to root as quick and easy as possible.

Thanks guys,

Use unrevoked 3.1. It doesn't get any simpler than that. You will be able to flash any rom that is released as a .zip file.

You wont loose your PRI 1.40 by rooting your phone...

Yea like they said above you won't lose your pri with rooting..so yes I'd go with simple root, that is how I rooted and it was very simple.
