You might want to check out this thread. Also, a lot of the newer guides will require you to read a lot, because they're extremely noob friendly and give instructions step-by-step.
i am sorry. where do i ask about it? and yes i have been reading the sticky's but like i said there is discution about a lot of differant things. i dont know what a custom compared to a stock rom is. and the discussion about the two changes from post to post.

This site won't work for the video? What is wrong? http://myevo4g.net/simple/
EDIT: I think you are the right person I was helping earlier in the simple root thread but lost track of everyone I was helping.
EDIT2: What about this link for the video - http://vimeo.com/13222390
yeah man. thanx for the links . i posted my band and software. letme find the post. 1 sec
I'm new as well and may not be correct on some things.
Unlocking the nand, I believe allows you read/write access to files you otherwise wouldn't be able to.
If you have the OTA 1.47 from sprint then you already have the lastest wimax, radio. You'll have to follow the steps to root it and unlock the nand.
What software version do you have? Baseband?
Can be found by going to Settings>About Phone>Software information
i have 1.47.651.1 baseband is 2.05.00.06.10

So you haven't rooted or anything, right?
If you haven't...watch that video and use simple root. That is the only way to downgrade as of now.

Hi
I am not new to technical forums. But I am new to this phone and I want to put a new rom on this phone. The current one is so slow.
What is the best rom available.
How do i put a new rom onto the phone.
Please keep it simple or point me to step by step specific instructions. Not a set of generalised instructions.
I looked at the how to thread. It was not step by step and got lost after three clicks.
specific help would be excellent.

@OP, you've been pointed in the right direction and escaped the usual harsh treatment for asking such questions.
I'm closing this thread. Please remember to search and READ THE WIKI before posting questions. Also, while new threads are sometimes needed double & triple check before creating a new thread. Read the link sin my signature for more info...
To start off I got my EVO on the day it came out and have done all the OTAs since then. Stats below
Hardware version - 0002
Android version 2.2
software version 3.29.651.5
PRI 1.77_003
PRL 60671
I have been reading a bunch on how to root my EVO cause I would like to start flashing custom roms. This is my first android phone and I have never rooted or flashed anything before.
1. What is the correct and best method for me to root my phone?
2. Once my phone is rooted does that mean I can start flashing custom roms?
3. What apps can I use or benifit my once I am rooted?
I know that answers to all my questions are probably out in the forums but I have read so many different posts and dont know which ones would apply to me.
Any help would be great! Sorry for the noobish questions, I know they have been asked a million times, but if someone could just point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated. I am excited to get this rolling and look forward to all the great roms that the devs have put together. Please help!
I just wanted to thank everyone for all the help and the quick responses!

WOW! I was just about to reply to the first post when I stumbled upon your second post.
Terrel_B is clearly a better person than I am. Not only are you already aware the answers are in the forums but when no one jumps to respond you bump the thread with a douche-bag remark. I wouldn't of bothered.

No prob, that's what we're here for.
I apologize for the second remark I made! And yes you are correct I was aware of the information being somewhere on the forums but as I stated I read so many and couldnt figure out which root method was the one I was suppose to use. Then when I seen how many people viewed my thread and no responses I got frusterated. Again I apologize! Half the time I dont know what I would do without this site! I guess I just figured that more people would want to help and when the responses werent coming in...
Sorry for the "douche bag" remarks!
Also thanks Terrel_B!

Please refrain from Q/A's in the dev section in the future. It helps keep things clean. If you need anymore information after reading that you can PM me.

It will be moved to the Q&A section where it belongs.
Because you failed to read the rules (see links in my sig).
Because everything is already answered and this has absolutely nothing to do with development...
ok after the method that you link what should i do?

Gasan ask in the thread I posted, its specifically there for that purpose.
But be prepared for:
a) You need some rudimentary understanding of computers
b) You need to understand that anything like this has the risk of making your phone unusable (bricked)
c) Read the ENTIRE thread before you expect anyone to help when you ask any questions, I know this is a bit of a pain but we all had to do it once and it will get you more insight into the process and less rage from the people who spend all their time writing and coding this stuff.
Thus endeth the lesson
Good luck mate.

Its not that we don't want to help, firstly this is the development section, you do not post questions here, there is a separate forum for that.
Secondly you need to use the search function, there's a lot of guides and info here to help. You should at least go through them before posting blindly.
Lastly, welcome to the forum, enjoy and respect the rules .
