I dont think that there is a temp root for the evo anymore. Her best bet is to Perm root using Revolutionary.io

Haha, i got her perm rooting. She doesn't have Internet at her house so she is downloading everything to the sdcard and copying it to the computer. She said the drivers installed fine. I want to ask before I finish with her, is there any complications from downloading to the sdcard first then moving files to pc?

What's her number? she a hot sexy lady? LOL!!!!!!! Tell her that there is a hot guy on XDA that wants her number. :-D Other than that. lol. who cares if it is fully rooted. however, IF SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT HERSELF then it isn't for her. My professional opinion is unless you're married. Stay off her phone. lol. cause she could dump you at anytime for me. LOL! well, she'll be in good hands with me. so haha. LOL
*Runs away before you track me down to attempt to kick my ass. LOL!*
I've been away from this board a while. Any EVO 4G can be rooted now? Latest software and build? Is this similar to to the revolutionary method for the EVO 3D?

Haha, jerk. But ok, she just really wants to root it. But yeah, i totally understand your point. She really wanted a temp root because she doesn't like all the bloat. But all y'all have is perm.. She isn't dumb, just new to everything. And I mean 100% new. She won't know how to fix anything. I've explained to her what backups and all that good stuff is. She knows what an RUU is. But if something does go wrong, it's only me. So, I will just tell her to wait a bit and see if a temp comes out.

lol my thoughts exactly.
To be honest though to the OP, if she would come on the forums she would be able to learn real easy with step by step instructions on each ROM she wants to flash.
although if she just wants ROOT then that is fine aswell, but to just have S-OFF isnt much until you install SuperUser and BusyBox. you also want to get Titanium Backup so you can get rid of the bloatware either by freezing it or uninstalling it
I'm coming from the Droid incredible. And I'm having a very hard time deciding on the phone i want. Its either goin to be the nexus or the razr. Both phones has its pros and cons but i want to knw if i go with the nexus and end up bricking it is there a easy fix for that. Cause I ended up f'n up my incredible but they have ruu and its simple to get back to stock. Guess I was wanting to knw if the nexus has something like this or similar if i end up bricking it. Lol. Want to have all my ducks in a row before i make a purchase. Lol. Thanks.

A really nice woman came into my store yesterday, 1 day outside of her 14 day return policy. Her epic would not get a GPS lock and only ever has 1-2 bars. I didntt know what to do, as idd done all the basics...prl/profile, 72786, manually programmed...nothing worked. So I said **** it and flashed the fc18 modem to her phone. Suddenly, she had all bars and an immediate GPS lock. I know I shouldntt feel bad as thatss a good survey for me and a happy customer for sprint but I cantt help but feel like I broke some sacred rules and should be fired or stoned to death.
yes....yes you are a terrible person....
j/k idk bro it seems like you helped out a person that needed it. Are there any ramifications for do that down the road? Say she has another issue and comes back when you're not there?
man I think you are good, I would have done the same!!
If you have one more chance, try to flash the stock modem again once the GPS starts to work. I think it will work even you put the original stock modem back once it's started working. That will save your axx.
My gf works for sprint, she had to root and flash a custom rom to a customer's phone once(don't remember which) to get it to work correctly.
14 day return policy is @!#$()#$%@# bull****, if it wasn't for that crap I would have returned this because of the LOS issue.
I thank you for going above and beyond and actually HELPING a customer.
BUT, that doesn't make you a good person, you are most likely a scum bag like all of us.
Technically they cannot refuse service to someone who has rooted their phone. The MFG may not cover it but if you have TEP then they will work on it. We HAVE to, its policy. Anyone telling you they cant is wrong. So dont sweat it, if the customer is happy your gold!
She asked you to fix her phone and you did, what a jerk.

It doesn't if you ODIN'ed the modem. But it'll be an issue if you installed a custom recovery and flashed the modem from CWM. CWM would block the update.
I did the exact same thing yesterday

First off - no, you're not a bad person. In fact I'm pretty sure some companies give awards for service like that.
That said, if yours isn't one of those companies(...) you may catch some **** with the boss when she shows her phone to her friends and they come back asking for the "latest" software on their phones.
Just something to be prepared for....you totally did the right thing for the customer.

I agree. But, he should be safe either way because the average person don't even know what a "modem.bin" is, let alone know how to check which version they are on. She most likely thinks he did some magical thing that only Sprint employee's has the power to do. Assuming he's a Sprint employee.

Shell come back and he can run the latest .tar on her phone. Full stock, no triangle, no problem. I assume that's what anyone would do at the Sprint store, although I don't know how they do things there.
Yea she will be back when her phone wont accept the update and it starts to get annoying always asking to install lol.

I used my upgrade from my Nexus S 4g and decided to come over the the S2 on Sprint. I intend to play with this phone till my wife upgrade is in August which she will take the S2 in hopes that I will get the S3 by then.
Been reading up on these posts on here and I think I got it but wanted to make sure.
1. I need to Odin to get root with el29?
2. Never flash, wipe, reset data in ICS CWM?
3. Is it me or are there no Kernels like AirKernel for this phone?
4. I plan to go with CNA as I had on my Nexus. Love that rom anything you would like to share about this rom?
Any advice on the questions would be great and to be honest I really only post here and there but I'm always on here. Been here since the release of the Evo 4G.
Thanks.
Thanks and it awesome to be a part of the S2 community. WOW.
Really feels welcome here......
You're sure to get help now, getting all pissy that someone didn't help you at 5:30 on a Sunday morning. Good luck

Wow, congrats to the E4GT community. You just enrolled another winner to the team.
How come no one rolled out the red carpet within the first few hours of this thread?
Glad I moved onto another phone, you guys really suck here
OP, you should get a GN. After my first post there, I was sent a 4 course meal from my favorite restaurant.
xda same as always...
Stoked to be here though.
Sort of asking for help, those are things that I've read up on. Just kind of a ice breaker more then anything.
Welcome to the party and congrats on the new phone.
The only question I can answer is #1, which is yes, to get an easy start just Odin sfhub's one-click EL29 for root, then read, read, read in the development section for all the goodies available.
Happy flashing and remember, if you brick your phone it's all on you.
1. I rooted just fine without Odin.
2. Yes it's also recommended you do that with most roms overall to avoid technical difficulties later on.
3. Idk what airkernel is, but there seems to be a limited choice if kernels for ginger.
4. CNA? Don't think I've seen a ROM called that around here but what do I know? I'm just a newbie...

You just have to have thicker skin over here, people may seem a little harsh at times (me included) but at the core of their comments you typically find the truth you needed. If you read around enough you'll see there are a lot of good people in this community. I'd suggest you start with the thread below to see what I mean.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1572184
Most important of all, just follow the #1 rule of thumb for the internet, don't take things personally and you'll be just fine.
Oh, also, don't expect anyone here to a)kiss your butt (well maybe iSaint j/k lol), b)hold your hand or c)pat you on your wee little noggin when you f*ck up because you didn't read and ended up bricking your phone. That is all.
Everybody moved to the Evo One. This place is a ghost town now.

Coming from a Evo then a Nexus S 4G I can't believe the trouble ones has to go through flashing roms that are ICS.
Odin is easy so that is nice but still. Seems like a lot of effort.
This phone is sweet. I just got to wait till I actually have time from work, kids and family so I can sit down and root this think and flash away.
Excited.
I can honestly say if it weren't for Odin and sfhub's one-click goodies I would probably still just be an observer on this forum. But he made it easy and then I learned to flash recovery and in doing so was able to start flashing Calkulin's custom ROMs. Although that's as far as I've gotten for now it's a long way from where I began and I'm excited for what's around the corner.

Once the source is released and official ota's are out im sure all the kinks will be ironed out. Development for ICS is still early for this phone. Using Odin isnt that bad, you can still flash a rom in about five minutes.

It may seem a bit overwhelming at first but it really is incredibly easy. Just make sure your CWM is stock (just flash CM7 or GB Miui), and then you should have no issues flashing ICS.
mobile Odin is your friend guys. as quick as a reboot.

Hey guys, I got a Nexus a few months ago and passed the Epic to the g/f (which I regret). Anyway, I have AOKP 35.1 on it and she is having issues. Maybe I forgot some Epic flashing routes.
The phone has EI22 baseband and I am looking to find the best g/f friendly rom (one where I can flash for her and have zero problems).
What do you think is the safest set up?
*Its been a while since I flashed on the Epic. I am on EI22 and I see EL30 is the newest build for GB. Do I need to use odin to get that, or can I just flash on top of EI22?
**I see FC09, is that the newest official?
Try cm7 or the peoples rom. The peoples is TW based it really is a matter of taste. I have my wife on CM7 which she loves she hates TW.

She prefers TW, and I was thinking the Peoples Rom. Where i get lost is all of the MTD, BML stuff. I dont remember having all of those options before.
What is the process to go to the Peoples from where I am? AOKP with EI22... I think EXT4 (is there a way to check?)

If you're on aokp you are on mtd... fc09 is the newest ota release... if she likes tw then clean gb el30 (she will be bugged by update message) or the peoples rom 2.2 (fc09) would be the best way to go...
Backup with Titanium Backup, download The People's ROM v2.2 MTD, wipe data, cache and Dalvik. Flash, choose to use or not use the Sprint Connections Optimizer, sign in to her Google account to sync contacts, restore her third party apps and only data she absolutely has to have...like Angry Birds high score or something...lol.

So far all issues were resolved with clean installs, V 6 Supercharger or turning off the Optimizer because of bad 4G due to Sprint. 3000 downloads strong, seems pretty solid to me but I may be biased.

She just gets nasty over some stupid crap sometimes. Plus, she travels a lot so I don't get much chance to work on the phone. Anyway, that was a year ago.
My lady likes to run whatever I am on. I find this useful for troubleshooting. If I can't recreate an issue on both, it's not a real issue. I made her sit on stock unrooted for a few days last month when she got a replacement phone from dropping it, and she couldn't wait to get back on an ICS rom. She made it through the random reboots on gb leaks, so anything out these days is easy for her to handle. It really depends on the individual. My techy ways have rubbed off on her over the years lol. She is smart enough to use her ipod (i know...) on wifi with a free messaging app to ask for help in the few situations that confuse her. She's a looker, does laundry, is a great mother, works, and cooks extremely well too! Needless to say we are getting married this July. I'm not sure exactly why I waited 14 years to ask her when I say it like that lol.

I cant agree with this strongly enough, though I may not have gone as far as saying no root.
Just remember, ANYTHING that goes wrong will be your fault, even if it has nothing to do with the phone itself (ie: tower down for upgrade, facebook update breaks the app, etc)
