Ok, so I'm not new to rooting or flashing... but I'm used to Samsung devices. I have a rooted Epic.
I just picked up an EVO for my kiddo, and was hoping you guys could give me a quick list of the newest/most efficient recovery, root method, ROM, etc. Please post up what ya got. The phone comes out of the box with Froyo 2.2. I know everyone has their own opinions, but I don't want to risk bricking a phone by using an old root method that's been found out or something.
Thanks everyone!
questions go in the Q & A forum

Not new to rooting and flashing yet you dont know this is the developement forum not Q&A? As for a quick list of the newest/most efficient recovery, root method, ROM, etc.... Thats pretty much what the dev forum is... or is supposed to be anyway, except people keep insisting on starting threads here featuring lame questions....
Everything you are asking for on on the Evo Wiki page. The link to it is one of the stickies on this particular forum:

This thread will be helpful, too. It is also a sticky on this forum:

Wow, you sure were helpful. Thanks a ton. All the effort you put into that response could've been saved for something more productive.

Thank you, rugedraw. I really appreciate it. I know my request came off a bit lazy but I was typing it up right before I left for work. Thanks a bunch.
I rooted my Samsung Epic in just a few mins, but this Evo is a PITA. I've run through the unrevoked 3.21 a few times and it just doesn't complete. I've followed all of the instructions and it runs, but doesn't finish.
I'm not sure where to go from here because it seems everyone else is having no trouble at all. I am currently on a brand new EVO with 3.30.651.2
No one is willing to point me in the right direction?

I don't know where it is, but there are posts on how you can root the 3.30 build, it just can't be rooted the same way you root a 3.29 build.
Sorry bout all the dicks on here but I actually just rooted my evo running 2.2 froyo with unrevoked3 it took 2 attempts but works perfect just go with that and you'll be smooth sailing.

I appreciate the response. I've tried all of that. It's not working because I'm 3.30.651.2.
You probably have a new version of the phone with hboot 2.02.
Go here and read up.

Hello everyone i am in no way new to modding and rooting but i am new to the epic 4g touch i just got it today and i was wondering if someone could tell me what the best and up to date method of rooting and applying cwm is. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks again for your time.
lol
thanks 4 all the help everyone. let me guess i should learn how to use the search function or maybe i should read through the forum more and i know i posted in the rite place so tell me why i dont deserve a response gezz all those views and not one single sentence. Well i did search i did read and i found a few. I am thinking acsyndicate might be the most up to date but i was also wondering which was the best so thanks again guys. Enjoy the rest of your night and day.

Have you ever thought that the people that viewed werent comfortable with the correct answer to give? You did only have 1 hour and 16 minutes from the OP to this post, so perhaps a little patience.
This is the method I used: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286893
I flashed this kernel through odin, it gives you root, clockwork mod, and busybox. I don't know if this is the "best" method, but it worked out pretty well for me. Hope things go well for you, and enjoy the awesome new phone
Damn dude chill out. Give it time. If u want just root without changing your kernel then flash crawrj rooted rom either odex or deodex. If u want root + clockwork mod then u need to flash a kernel but most people flashing kernels are suffering from LOS. I would recommend flashing the rooted stock rom.
