If you need help with rooting, pop over to the irc channel. #G2ROOT on Freenode.
It'll be a lot easier and faster than here, as we gotta ask a few questions and see what you've done so far.

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.
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.
Good Luck
