Yeah, but what's the Hboot, some version 003 have the hboot 2.02 also. Just use the Like a Boss method and root that puppy. It unlocks the power of the Evo and you won't regret it. If your to scared to root, go buy an Iphone 4 and enjoy the dropped calls.

Re: 30 Days

On second thought, I would recommend that anyone with a new phone not root for the 30 return window. You can tell if you like an EVO without rooting. Rooting doesn't change the available features all that much. You can even tether on a non-rooted phone!

So, if in the first month, you want to return it, you can do so without having to go through the hassel of restoring an RUU. This is assuming you are new to android.

Reason is im hoping radioshack has an older version of the evo to root it bc i have hbot 2.02

Once you return the phone, assuming you used an upgade, your gonna have to get them to reset your upgrade status... if you opened a new line to get the device, youd be closing said account when you return the phone @ Sprint.. the would have to open a new account again @ Radio Shack... Sprint is not going to allow you to return the EVO, keep your number live without a device on it, till you goto Radio Shack and get a new one... the system just doesnt work like that... all which may not be able to happen in the same day or anything like that.. depends how long Sprint takes to clear up everything and update the info...

Do you know something we dont about the Knight?? youll be well past the 30day window by then, so youll wont be able to return the Evo for a Knight then....

Sounds like rooting and the EVO might be a little much for you If you really want the Knight or some phone in the future, just return the EVO now and wait for what you want..

Re: 30 Days

if your scared of bricking your phone and you live in a big city. you may to check your local craigslist for someone who does this for extra cash. i know i do them here in my area. usually the price is around 25-40 which isnt bad considering how much a new phone would cost.

Re: 30 Days

I would not bet on the Knight being released on 1-6-2011 as some post say. Too much money going toward adds for Evo for christmas.
