will all my apps erase? yes once you root download titanium backup to backup all your apps
does it format my SD CARD? No
It doesnt change the look right? Not until you install a custom ROM but there are stock look Roms available
its 2.2 stock.. Yes 2.2
what about my contacts?? are they going to still be there? Go to your contacts and hit menu>import/export and export your contact to your sd card and rtesotr the same way once the phone is rooted

If you are okay with losing 4g then it shouldn't be a problem.

Ok, things you need to know:
1.rooting your phone will void your warranty.
if you ever do a warranty exchange with sprint, your phone needs to be "UN"-rooted.
2.about your contacts , download a backup app from the market, i prefer mybackuppro. Just in case something goes wrong, which is rare.
3.YOU will be able to delete those annoying stock apps and free up memorie with root explorer .
Good luck!!!!!!

Nahh... seriously? No 4g at all when simply just rooted, stock. No Rom? I thought some of the roms were doing that but not just simply rooting it.. I dunno about ur simplistic statement there buddy. Some clarification plze?

I've had my phone rooted since shortly after they were released and I have flashed all kinds of half working bootleg ROMs/hacks, my 4G still works perfectly.
There are some who manage to hose their 4G their first try though, I don't see how though since mine still works after all the stuff I've done to it. I've also never used Unrevoked to root either though.
I thought that using clockwork took away 4g. Is this not correct? And btw I apologize, I thought that it makes your 4g keep saying scanning (it does that to me in a 4g area and says unknown in my 4g info in about phone)

If you root it the wrong way, your device will self destruct in 10 seconds. I lost one good eyebrow and half of the other one that way.

Hey thanks.. well nothing erased of my contacts.. and with the voiding the waranty.. my brother works in sprint.. so hopefully.. if something does go bad well maybe he can do something. well i already rooted the phone. everything went fine.. and how would u UNROOT THE PHONE?
Your 4G WILL BE FINE!!!! Really think we would have such an active community if rooting killed one of the main selling points of the Evo?
Just follow root instructions exactly, dont flash a different recovery if you have 2.02 hboot, and you will be just fine.

Video to UNroot I've done it, it works fine. The biggest thing is making sure it says S-OFF on the bootload screen when you power on while holding the down volume button.
Now you'll want to put a different ROM on it, since stock rooted will land you random force closes and such. First, do a NANDROID backup by booting into recovery and doing a backup. I personally copied my backup to my laptop just in case I loose or break the SD card. A nandroid backup is like a "snapshot" of the way your phone is right now. It'll save everything including contacts, kernels, the current ROM you're on, the apps, Data, etc. Literally everything.
Now check out some different roms!
The most popular right now is Cyanogen 6, MIUI, and Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo. I'm using Myn's because it still contains 4G. Myn's is a sense based ROM and most sense based ROMS retain 4G. Cyanogen and MIUI are both AOSP based, basically meaning they're built from the ground up and are way different than your stock ROM. Cyanogen just figured out the encoding for 4G so very soon they will release a 4G version, then MIUI and the rest will follow once he releases the encoding.
Hope this helps!
4g works on Myn TwoPointTwo also. Am I wrong?

I would think they want as much people who have the slide to simply just run impatient and switch over to the g2. Marketing! I don't think the reps get news before us.

You can root and then simply unroot to get your warranty back, but I don't suggest you root. Its not easy to root the slide, also alot of people who root the slide switch back to stock because they realize that not everything works with a flashed rom.

I've been using CR_MOD for a month and I like it. Everything work + a2sd + wireless tether. I can even flash live wallpaper and use it with ADW. I can even remove the built-in swype and install another version of swype which support more languages. I'm really satisfied with this rom.

The HDMI does not work and the music player doesn't play my music like HTC Sence and Cyanogen Mod 7 did. I showed it the correct folders, but I guess it is probably in the wrong format.

1) Flash a Sense rom the way you flashed the others if you want Sense. If you can backup/restore manually, don't use ROM Manager.
2) I'm sorry your HDMI doesn't work. I'll bet if you read in the thread where you got the rom, it'll tell you that it doesn't work. Solution: Flash a HDMI capable rom.
3) You can either use the music player from CM7 or download another one from the market. There's about 952 of them. I doubt that the file format changed when you switched roms, but that may be a bug with the the Evo 4H.
4) Read this: http://noobgui.de/wiki

Revolutionary and PC36img issues.
Hello all;
new to the game, i was originally rooted with unrevoked but with the upgrade to gingerbread i had to unroot and lost everything. just tried to run revolutionary.exe every thing runs fine until I say yes to internet update, it starts then stops due to error.
help please, I had the a red triangle but with searching i was able to find pc36img_recovery.zip ran that and it fixed the red triangle issue, but the recovery. file only had one img. where would i find the current pc36img for my evo4g, my Evo 4g is one of the 1st released.
REvolutionary is amazing,had to get a refurbed evo that came with update and was stuck with a stock phone for two weeks till this tool saved my life and 3 of my friends as well
how do we revert back to stock?
didnt work on mine 2.3.3 ,4.24.651.1 kept giving me invalid beta key even with copy/paste method..
Guys im sure as hell no newbie to rooting my own personal phones , but tomorrow my sister is visiting me from Florida with her new Evo on a fresh sprint 2 year contact (yeah dont ask) but anyways she wants to root her phone to tether on WiMAX. Could you guys guide me to the right links on rooting her phone and tell me which rom will be a kick ass rom for her. Most likely that will be the ROM she'll stay with for the rest of her contract.

It all depends on the software. If its on 2.2 froyo you would use unrevoked. If its on GB 2.3.3 you would use revolutionary.io and if its GB 2.3.5 you have to use HTC dev unlock. I recommend that you put tommytomatoes classic rom on her phone. Its 100% stable and fully working and has great community support

Depends on preference, Tommy's rom's great. but have some variants for her. also may just show her some rom's she'll most likely want gb for stability and best performance. also HTC Sense rom's lagg a bit in my opinion AOSP seems to lag less for me and run more in a operational fashion.
edit install rom manager on her device and keep her stock rooted tell her she can change the software via that app. screen shot's info and downloads all in one nice little user friendly app.
Thanks for the great info guys. I'll be working on her phone tonight.
Just to make sure, with these roms, she still be able to use the HDMI out on the phone?
