You can gladly put on roms for other phones. Of course, you will brick the Evo, but you can do it.
.and if u can give me links to good ones that would be cool.

Read through that a few times. Check out the links that are included with it. That should answer all of your questions.

the first few times are gunna be scary but its no big deal after a while... i remember the first time i rooted and flashed anything was on my samsung behold that was stuck in android 1.6.. uggh
I was such a noob i couldnt tell you what rom i ended up flashing or what method i used to root lol...
all i remember is using a program that ran on my computer to unlock it.
heck even the first time i rooted my evo i noobed it up. but now im more into it than before. You will become a flash-aholic

And there are so many great roms, themes and mods out now...you can flash all day for a week and still not see everything.

You don't just "take a rom off". If you wipe the rom, your phone wont boot to anything. But you can easily just flash another rom, or restore your previous backup.

GOOD site for most roms on one page!!
http://evo4g.roms-db.com/all-builds/
Ran across the above site in research, used a rom off of it pretty cool plus anything tie into XDA im for it!! Thanks

Flash-a-holics (not to be mistaken with streakers lol) is a known issue affecting men and women here in XDA. This is an incurable addiction. Common symptoms include:
Anxiety (don't believe me? Try flashing a radio update lol)
Stress (not knowing what to do when your phone boots and is stuck at the HTC EVO 4G screen lol)
Nagging from the wife (cuz you spend more time tweaking your phone instead of helping around taking care of the baby)
In EXTREME cases, hypothetically speaking, if your house was on fire and you had a chance to retrieve one of the following items:
1) wedding album
2) expensive art piece
...you would write in:
3) my precious Evo lol

He wasn't trying to be a jerk. The best thing you can do is research read and search some more, and do it all over again. There are plenty of ppl here that will help. First off it is really hard to mess up your phone to the point of not being able to fix it. Most important now that you are rooted is to make a nandroid backup it will save you phone. Good luck and happy flashing

Has anyone tried the CyanogenMod for the EVO?

I was thinking about installing this mod. I saw it running very smoothly on an HD2 dual-boot a friend of mine has.
Is there anyone running the latest version of this image? If so are there any hardware issues? Does the 4G still work? Does it make coffee now?
Thanks,
Nick
I don't think you'll have much luck here. I don't think anyone around here is running cm on their EVO's. Is he even working on a version for the EVO?

It's okay, just do the 2.2 OTA and then root from there. I think it's pretty painless, I know there's a thread about it somewhere . . . can't find it right now.

Thanks Laydros,
My friend just told me that his HD2 just went to sleep and he had to reboot so it is surely not stable yet on the HD2. I would still be willing to try it on my EVO if anyone else has tried it first.
The UI looks pretty nice with a draggable menu at the bottom for multiple home row buttons.

yeah i know right? lol
i think what you have to do is flash a 2.2 rom, and while its installing, yank the battery. this will take you to the froyo debug screen and ask if you want to flash a cyanogen mod.
edit: ok that was a joke, I have to say that because I know there are people that will try it! sorry...

So explain to me how my question was stupid? I got a response from you apparently. Do you make a habit of flexing your intelligence on "stupid" postings?
This could very well make you a stupid person.
Read! Have you even looked at any posts at all here? Or did you just post your question and only focus on it? Seriously man, you are getting bashed here sooooo bad. Take ten seconds and look at other posts, either here in q and a or in the development section. Just trying to save you some pain.

The question is somewhat puzzling.
I thought it was a simple question.
I got every tom **** and harry jumping in to say something. Yet no one can answer the question. Maybe I need to create my own forum just for dumb people like me. O wait a minute XDA beat me to it.

Thanks, I spent five minutes searching. What did you find before you advised me to "READ!" and search?
Don't advise me to search unless you know for sure that I missed something. Your guessing there is a better thread and calling me stupid for not finding it.
Again, has anyone successfully gotten this mod on their EVO? If there is another thread talking about Cyanogen Mod 6 on EVO then direct me.
Dude, there's a thread in development dedicated to the RC with thousands of replies. I think we can all safely say that at least one other person has tried it. The water is safe. Hop in, but don't forget your life jacket. I'm sure you'll need it.
And before you complain that we're not helpful... no, the 4G doesn't work. Your mms may not work either.

[Q] Where is a latest sprint custom rom that's the same as sprint's version?

HTC EVO.
Where is a rom for the Evo that is the same as sprint's? I want to do the free tethering/roam off of Verizon and I dont think you can do that with factory roam.
I did a search and there are a lot of 2.2/3.29.651.5 custom roms but they don't have most of the Factory stuff.......

Rooting

If you are going to root, do not do like me and just start going on a rom rampage. To extend on that statement, I traded into this device and it was rooted... it was just a few days after the release so obviously no cure or stable rom at that point. Long story short... I have messed up and fixed a lot of things with this device already and it only cost me a few long nights and making my wife hate me. So that is why if you are going to root, make sure its worth it.

He probably got it mixed up. If you read his other posts he's obviously a newbie at this and probably is talking about all the mistakes he's made while trying to root.

Trying t root SPH-D700

Ok I paid a guy to root my phone and he wasnt able to.. he was using ginger break 1 click solution from the phone..
so it didnt work..lol im out the money.. and i still need to do it..
here is the info on about phone..
Firmware version
2.6.35.7
build number
GingerBread EI22
ok I need a dummys guide.. some thing straight forward please on the steps i need to get super user and rooted.. I need to tether my phone to my laptop and im not able to as of right now.. a custom rom on my phone would be nice to lol..

Wrong sub-forum. This is development for developers. Next time post in General or Q&A. Go to General and do a search for "rooting EI22 OTA" without the quotes and you will see the how to thread in the list.

First you need to locate odin 1.8. Then install the samsung drivers for the galaxy s. Next download this Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?opnq0n0pau8cu01. Now open up odin, put the tar you got in PDA. Next turn your epic completely off (pull battery then put back in) and then plug your epic in and make sure ONLY auto reboot is checked on odin. Now hit start on odin and wait. Now when it is done, your phone will be 'rooted'. Now you can download 'superuser' from the market.
Next I reccomend installing a ROM. A good one for starters is mostly stock which you can find in the development section. Put the zip on your sd card. Now shut.down your phone. Next hold down volume down, camera and power until you get a recovery screen. Next use the volume keys to navigate to install zip from sd card and press camera to select. Now do the same with choose zip and choose mostly stock. Now hit yes and wait. After that is done, use the back arrow to go back and choose reboot. This boot will take a while...
Now your phone will be way better than that **** that didnt give you your money would have made it.
If this worked for you, I would appreciate a thanks or donation.
That rom contains a bunch of fixes. Also I reccomend doing the same thing you did with mostlystock with the samurai kernel.
You guys are too nice to these idiots. Not a clue on how to root or rom, and posting in odd places. Have fun bricking your epic, jr.

Root Methods

I recently purchased an s3 and I'm a bit confused about the different methods I've seen for rooting.
Is one method preferred to another?
I'm learning how different this phone is from the evo 4g I've been using for the past 2.5 years.

Easiest way to root is to use Odin and install your custom recovery and then the team epic root zip. Just make sure you install all the drivers for your phone first

Thanks. Those one click programs usually scare me more than the step by step methods.
I'm not worried about which is easier, just if there is a preffered method. I believe I have found my answer after reading FAQ again and watching the videos linked from it.

I know I'm late to the party, but here's my two cents:
As far as I'm aware, all of the various guides (and toolkits) actually use the same method (although, the toolkit does have a tendency to bork the wifi). It's just really the packaging they come in. Whenever I recommend a guide to people, I always link this guide by Skunk Ape. It's intuitive and explains each step quite well, with pictures and clear instructions. I've never had someone come back to me asking for clarification after reading that guide.
Hope you enjoy your rooted phone!
Gotta say.....so far these s3 forums seem really friendly. Thanks for all the advice guys.....really digging this phone and forum so far
If this was the evo 4g forum and I started a thread like this some dude with 20 posts would have already flamed me and called me a noob......hahaha

Welcome to the Sprint forums! We're generally nice people. The only time you really see the ugly side is if you flash an international Rom to your phone (which bricks it, btw). That's when the sarcasm comes out.
Just stick to Roms made for our phones (d2spr, not i9300) and you'll be fine!
So after researching roms and reading/.watching reviews, it seems that blazer is closest to stock minus all the bloat/samsung stuff that is loaded by default. Is this correct, or would u guys recommend a different rom for a STOCK experience +tweaks/-bloat.
I swear if I bought an htc phone I wouldn't be quite as clueless.

So after researching roms and reading/.watching reviews, it seems that blazer is closest to stock minus all the bloat/samsung stuff that is loaded by default. Is this correct, or would u guys recommend a different rom for a STOCK experience +tweaks/-bloat.

Everyone on here would probably recommend a different rom. I'm currently running msg&chubbz rom. It's pretty stock, does have a lot of features from gs4. Does have "minit settings" which allow you to change battery icon/color, clock color/location, and some others, but besides these changes its pretty stock. I was clueless to s-offing my brothers evo lte, but I got it eventually. HTC phones are a little more confusing to most people.

I recommend trying the ones you like, all at least a weeks time then deciding for yourself. But since you asked TPR 'cough' 'cough'.....

Haha, I'm an AOSP guy myself, but yes, The People's Rom has quite a vibrant (and vocal!) community, most of which are kind and like to help others out.

For a truly stock ROM you can check out freezas thread. He has all the latest Sprint updates and so forth. You can't get any closer to stock than that. I also recommend TPR. They are really great over there.

Tpr and morphology is fantastic.
If want to see the ugly side the sgs3 forum, flash an international rom and ask why your phone is bricked.

What? No one brought up M.O.A.R? my fav. TW and I can customize all day long.
Seems you're already rooted, but I have to give a shout-out for topherk pushing skunk ape's rooting guide. The guide is so well-written and gave me just what I needed (custom recovery and root). For someone new to rooting, it was the best IMO...

So this isn't the Evo 4g forums?
