As much as I can't stand the people who say, "Use the Search Tool!" and then brush you off, I've got to say that after reading your post I can somewhat sympathize with them.
Your question(s) have been answered ad nauseum across these boards and a very quick search could provide the resources you are looking for far quicker than it takes to write a post and wait for an answer. I'm sure you can imagine what these boards would look like if every one of the thousands of people with the same questions as you simply posted them as you did rather than searching and reading. As the single best source for all things android and possibly the largest, it would be 90% posts just like yours and 10% of everything else. It is simply impossible and unreasonable to expect anything different.
But, I digress...
In regards to rooting the EVO... Again, it would be redundant for me or anyone else for that matter to give you step by step instructions since the answers are freely and easily available in the "Android Development" section of the EVO subforum. That said, here are two great places to start:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787304
and
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765496
The above two links will take you directly to the two threads representing the two different root methods. In sum, the top one is the easiest and the second one is more involved but the end result as far as the phone is concerned is identical. Lots of folks recommend the harder method simply because of the value in what you learn in the process. That said, between those two threads I think you will find all the answers you are looking for and more.

make sure you understand all the steps . and do it in 1 row, not like me i did it in 4 days. And look if all the files are in the root-manual. do not download them from google etc. big chance for virus's

root-manual?

I would recommend KFU.... try to get a liliputing video guide... or rootzwiki. Hope this helps sorry I do not have any links.

Its really not to hard. Just go slow and follow each step as outlined in one of the many guides. Check the stickies and read them through to make sure you know what you are doing before hand. Also be sure to make a back up right away in case something happens. Finally dot freak out if something does go wrong because the kindle is pretty forgiving and able to be unbricked.

Yea, that's what it seems through reading

Complete Video Guide and troubleshooting for root,market,recovery,etc...

If you have any problems search the forums for your problem and spend a little time reading.
I will bet you any amount of money you problem has been discussed hundreds of times.
I have seen people post threads stating "OMG My Kindle Is Broken help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And there will be 2-3 threads on the first page that had they spent 5 minutes looking could have solved their problem.

if you want to use a custom lock screen which is pretty cool, read my thread here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497383

Comprehensive source of rooting info?

Is there a FAQ somewhere that comprehensively covers most of what's involved as a part of rooting the Nexus 7? Or rooting any Android device that would cover the N7? I do dev, but am new to Android.
I'm not even referring to the actual rooting process. Info for that's all over the net. My questions are more along the lines of things like:
What exactly does it mean when people say that rooting will erase the drive? Somehow, I think that's probably exaggerated. Does it really all but reformat? Does it leave the OS intact, other than unlocking and rooting and just wipe out the apps I've installed and my settings and data? Or whatever happens.
Do I have to literally reinstall all my apps from Play or wherever? Or can I copy to a computer and just copy it back again after rooting?
If the rooting process deletes all my apps, this has no effect on what Play lists as "My Android Apps," does it?
Given these questions, what's the state of the device right after I finish rooting? Is it display sort of what it was out of the box?
If I need warranty service and unroot, would Google know at a glance that it had ever been rooted? What restores it to its original state? Doesn't unrooting just remove root access and lock the device?
I'm not here to ask about this ROM or that, but why use another ROM? Would that completely replace Jelly Bean? If it does, how to I get back to Jelly Bean?
Does the Nexus Root Toolkit work on Windows XP? (I have that and a Mac. I’m running the Win 8 preview in a Virtual Box VM, but getting it to consistently recognize the N7 has been problematic. On the Mac, the Android file manager tends to drift in and out. It's possible that I have issues with my N7 USB port.)
I realize there are all noob questions, but that's where I am. I'm sure I could come up with plenty more and I'm sure plenty of others have and have had similar questions. But most of the answers I'm finding don't address nuances, they're just black and white, sweeping terms that don't really get where I'm looking to go.
I'd appreciate answers to these questions or pointers to good places to find out without having to wade through dozens of topics hoping to find some piece of what I want to know.

I might be able to answer some of your questions, give me a pm and I would love to answer them (it would be hard to put them all in a post)

I posted this a while back. It should be a pretty good hub of information.
Hope that helps! If you have any other questions that this doesn't answer - either ask here or check google. Just make sure you read everything you possibly can - the more knowledge the better.

Lots of stuff there. Thanks. I'll take a good look.

Thank you
Thank you for your response. Your post was for your single post not the entire thread.
Secondly, I have rooted a phone in the past (my S2) so I understand the process and what can happen if not done correctly. My apologies if I have submitted a question that had already been asked. I'm on my phone now and not using a forum app. I have attempted multiple times to search but my browser keeps refreshing sending me in circles. I am new to the S4 and just wanted to know if rooting the phone causes the phone to display the yellow triangle on boot up. Perhaps I should wait until morning when I can view the forum on a computer. Thank you.

The phone app does suck. Rooting your phone, if the correct method for your firmware version is used, should not display a yellow triangle on boot. However, it might display "custom" with a padlock symbol. There is just entirely way too much information about this to post here, but if you want to search for "sysscope" when you get to your PC or do a visual search for threads that ask about "custom" or "official" in the thread title, you should find a lot of information about it. Mostly, check the General and Q & A sections for this information. There is also a lot of information about it in the thread I linked you to.
I know it was a single post I linked you to because it explains the correct way to go about finding information. As the post suggests, you need to learn as much about what you are doing as possible before you do anything to your phone. It does not matter what your previous experience was because this is a different phone and asking the question you asked shows that you need to learn more about it. The correct way to learn this information is by following what I said in the post I linked to you. This information should not be obtained from asking questions...it should be obtained by reading the available information that has already been posted in the forum(s). Good luck.

You are correct about learning as much as you can. That is partially why I asked the question. I have never been the type of individual to do anything (purchase new things, take a trip etc) without learning as much as I can before I take the plunge. Thank you for sending me in the right direction.

As an aside, some individuals (like myself) aren't good with inputting the proper search terms when trying to find information. Instead they come across a lot of misinformation which can be just as bad as not doing the proper research.

Yes, there is. But from my reading the updated version is no longer working with the Canadian S4. As per the reviews in the app store and posts from this forum

[Q] Rooting Nook Simple Touch

First things first, I have just got hold of a NST from eBay and this is my first e-reader. I wanted to know before I proceed further, is this the forum concerning Simple Touch as well because it only says Nook Touch, so any solutions discussed here will they apply to my Simple Touch?
To my main question: Sorry it this was asked before. After rooting will I be able to zoom pdfs , the files that are image based like magazines for example.
If I want to roll back to original firmware after rooting - is there a possibility?
Will I be able adjust the contrast setting of the display because it looked washed out for me (maybe it is only me having used tablets all these years.)
Please point me to a step by step guide to root and the best custom firmware.
Thanks in advance
S

No one here for simple touch?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Yes, these are the forums for the Nook Simple Touch and Nook Simple Touch with Glow Light. Read the development thread on NookManager and the apps forum on pdf reader applications for more on your questions. The short answers is yes you can do everything you want. The caveat is you will need to read instructions carefully and there are quirks to everything. So read first and see if you're comfortable with the rooting process and the apps you will have available.

Thanks many
