Ok. I am coming from the epic 4g. I ended up getting a evo to replace it. It's already running 2.2. What do I need to root it?
Sorry I failed to see the q and a section. Epic fail.

Ok thank you for the info. I am used to the epic and there is really only
One way to root.
On the evo I am seeing alot of different ways.
Seems I need to figure out which hardware version I have. Right now I don't have a pc and from what I am seeing is that since im already running 2.2 I can't root without a pc.

It was flimsy. I don't need the keyboard. The battery life sucked. The radio always was spotty. It was a decent phone but I feel the evo is better.

Don't use clockwork use amon_ra for recovery. Clockwork does not back up the 4g keys and it has some issues with wiping.

I think you should be fine. That's what 4g does if you're not in the coverage area. I've used and flashed with both Amon and Clockwork, never had issues with either. There was a version of Unrevoked early in the Evo's lifetime that borked people's 4g radios, but I don't recall any other instances that caused problems

A more important fact is that the first 2.3 phone is Nexus S, which is almost identical to Galaxy S in hardware.
Most importantly, it has hummingbird 1ghz cpu.
can roms be developed for the Epic using this SDK?

Don't be so quick to discount what the community is able to do. However, the kernel source may be needed to get it working properly on our hardware. I'd just say don't hold your breathe for it, it can be a lot of work to port code, just look at cm6.

Took it to the sprint store and told them I was talking on the phone and it just shut down and froze on start up and they took it in the back and about an hour later came out with a new epic box and told me when they tried to flash the phone it crashed their computers so they gave me a brand new epic

Same, I don't see too much to complain about on stock. It's light, responsive and fairly stable. I'll root it eventually of course though. I'm sure there are too many under-the-hood options that I'll be dying without before long
My only complaint seems to be random data drop outs. Is that a known issue or wtf is going on lol

Nexus s 4g is plagued with all sorts of data issues. Its what the alleged ota is suppose to fix. As far as the stock rom, I almost always run stock with a matrix kernel. I like bln amd voodoo color.

I didnt do anything to the ota other than cook it up Stock odex. I could deodex it and post that too so its easier for people to get in there and do mods though. Its all what you all want. But a debloated bone stock optimized rom dont sound halfway bad.
