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.
Searching old thread isn't my thing. I rather suscribe to my own thread.
Also is the rooting process hard? My EVO 3d was a pain in the ass.

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

+2 on tommy's rom. Is under the new evo 4g original development section. As far as rooting go is pretty straight forward, just find out which android version she is running ( which might be 2.3.5 ), and go from there.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
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?

i just got the HTC Hero for sprint last week, its already rooted
im wondering what cool things i can do with it, and if it will be getting froyo officially or am i going to have to wait for the AMAZING GODS of XDA to port it over ?
All I can say is read, read and read some more. You'll learn more that way. Start with the sticky at the top that says guides, tutorials, and Q&A. You most definitely want to search prior to asking any question because more than likely its been answered. Welcome and congrats on getting the Hero.
froyo will not come officially but the devs are actively working on it, I'd say the froyo roms right now are 80% ish, you can now overclock, and I recommend darchdroid 2. 7

Right now, there IS a froyo rom available. The only big things not working are GPS and Camera.
Really now....that's a problem though I'm a high driver with no camera, so I use my camera a lot, and I usually forget how to get back from where I started, so that could be an issue
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Try regawMOD, and then flash the darch kernal for honeybun. Just grab setCPU or the overclock widget from the market after that.
The first boot will take some time. Also I use it because I really like sense.

DarchDroid is where it's at.
Hi everyone. Yesterday I traded my Epic for an Evo (for my own personal reasons - regardless of how FUBAR they may be to you). I love the Evo and everything is going well... UNTIL the guy I traded makes me aware of a small little problem: Sprint says I can't activate the phone with a custom ROM on it.
I guess I must have forgot to tell him to not let Sprint in on the phone cracking, but too late. Now he is saying he needs me to help him put the phone back to stock. It currently has Quantum ROM 1.3 on it and clockwork mod and all that stuff.
Do any of you believe that the phone won't activate with this ROM? If so, do you have any recommendations of how to get this guy up and running - remotely? He lives 40 miles from me and it was a hassle for us to meet up yesterday.
Flash the modem stickied at the top of the Dev page using ODIN and you're golden. Why don't you just call sprint and activate the phone. You don't have to bring the phone into a store.
We did call Sprint and they put it in the system and everything and said it was done. However, the phone never activated
BTW, I am at that page and looking for the stock ROM. I see a couple of 2.1 ROM's, but neither of them seem to be the stock official 2.1
The stock tar is stickied at the top of the development thread, just follow the directions.

I took a chance at the method at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786266 and it worked perfectly. His new Epic works great and is back to Android 2.1.
Thanks for all your help everyone!

Yes, at sucking, the EVO is faaaarrrr superior I agree..lol
But realistically if your gonna make those kind of statements at least claim why you feel that way >.>
Last time I checked my evo was slow as piss and everything lagged, including the Notification area, App Drawer and the whole 9 yards. On top of that it liked to eat battery like a starving child. Htc needs to learn how to make graphics drivers. XV6800, Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2. The cycle never ends, well besides the G2 of course.

what ROM has everythinig working ON THE HTC EVO?? AND which one the most awesome one!? SOME SCREEN SHOTS WOULD BE AWESOME.. if you guuys could help me here! I got bored of just trying out different launchers.. wanna go into different ROMS! THANKS!!
Flash them and try them out. I liked running Myn's Z rom for a while to try out the new Sense (which is suwheet), now I'm running Sprint Lovers which has everything working (as you say), with a few extras. For real though, just try them out, worst you can do is waste some time setting up your phone again. But hey, you said you were bored so that shouldnt be a deturbance.
MIUI is the best ROM around, period. It is the perfect balance of style and substance. 4G does not work but it is a fair trade off. We just got gingerbread but it still has a few kinks to be worked out. I recommend flashing one of the latest Froyo builds.
It all depends on what you want.
Sense
AOSP
Miui

Many of the ROMs listed as threads in the Development section have screenshots of them, as appearance is a huge deciding factor for many of us. Take a look around and you'll see!

I'm running Myn's Warm Z right now (which lacks 4G, but eh, I never use it anyway, 3G is more than adequate) and Sense 2.0 is damn sweet. It's gorgeous, responsive, fluid, and just has minor touches here and there that most people really enjoy.
MIKFROYO is a great rom to try,,
I guess I need to try Mik's now... !
Yea ive heard the mikifroyo or something like that righ? Does everything wrkk on that one? Im just looking for something different.. and if i give it a shot at this ROms it will be my first time.. hope everything goes good and not brick my phone ha

Bricking only really happens from radio updates. Remember to back up stock first! Yeah everything works in mikfroyo

I've tried a few Roms, the latest being CM7 and VaelPak. After 2 weeks with those Roms, I went back to Myn. No GPS or voicemail issues, and everything runs smooth. I think Myn Warm Z is the best looking Rom, but the lack of 4G made it a dealbreaker as my daily driver.
Yea.. ive never even done a nandroid.. haha.. but ill follow some instructions and i should be fine.. hopefully.. with the radio updates.. do i have to have a current one for it to wrk on ROMS o no?

You root your phone once, the Rom it self is not rooted. They usually come with tethering and the hotspot fix.

In the OP for Mik's, there is a link to 2 videos. The 2nd one shows how to do a nandroid, wipe properly and flash the ROM.
Very simple
But would i b able to move almost all my apps to sd card still? Hopefully the tether wtls

Whats a big cause of changing to a ROM? Is it more battery life or something? or its just the customization on them?
man when did people get so lazy ? just go t to the dev section and do a little research?
Dear Mr Root.
Please hear our prayers to root our Gingerbread devices!! Everyone knows that stock rom's are just plain old boring, and no fun at all. We need something to play with and break We wake up each morning, just hoping for that 'miracle' on XDA.

My phone kicked the bucket so I had to call in insurance and I was forced to use gingerbread with the new bootloader and I came from cm7 running a tiamat sbc kernal, and its not stock sense that pisses me off (however I do prefer asop) but its the stock kernal the battery life is a joke I have the 3500 extended battery and I still need a bigger battery

I am done waiting, I returned my phone for my MoPho (Mototola Photon 4G), and have rooted it WebTopless, (without a dock). Also, I hate the fact that the phone has such little internal storage, and I do miss Sense, but I have a Sense Launcher. I have a Front Facing Camera, and a kickstand.
I have an Otterbox Defender Case/Holster and now I have to mod it and add dust filters for the two microphones...

So, since you guys cannot root at this moment, I thought, why not make a thread about what exactly you are going to flash the instant you get root? So here it is. Be specific, down to the last mhz and themes...
I know once I get root, I'll flash CM7 with the Synergy theme on the market and the Tiamat kernel...
Have Fun

Patience fellas that's all it takes is patience, soon there will be root for 2.3.3.
I will jump in...
As soon as it happened.. I have 3 guys at work that bug me 2x a day for me to root their phones.
I will start with one and work my way around the store.
I want my kingdom Rom back so bad its been like 2 months from the time I had root and that Rom was just getin good so I know it has to be perfict now
Kush Deck, whatever the latest release is (I don't torture myself keeping up with the thread right now), and the Tiamat 3.3.7 SBC kernel.
Then I will breathe a heady sigh of relief, make a nandroid backup to use as a daily driver, and start looking for the latest and greatest of everything and start my old flashing ways again.
Synergy will be my first choice. I liked all the betas,but then started having heat related reboots, went into sprint and the rest is history including my ability to root...
I was using VR Kingdom so I would definitely try synergy and Kings shooter port.....urghhh I hate not being rooted!
