Hey guys i switched from a crApple iphone to the fabulous evo 4g and let me tell you i dont regret it at all. I got my evo the same day it came out, couple of days later i found out about xda developers, got it rooted and since then its been like a rollercoaster, my evo became more than just a smartphone to me.
Anyways, lets cut the chase what im tryin to say is that there should be a nice guide for people like me that had no idea what rooting means and of course all the terms within like adb shell, nandroid, nand unlock, recovery, etc. If someone out there has the time it'll be really helpful. I know google is out there but i think it would be really nice to have all this information compiled in one place and what other place better than xda.

Wrong section!!
im just kidding.. well, you certainly came to the right place.. really just reading around the forums is the best knowledge your gonna get.. what information are you wanting to know about in particular? i knew nothing about android till the day i received my evo, well speaking modification wise! my wife had a hero which i enjoyed but didnt want to get deep into it since i was using a windows mobile device at the time.. but its always good to hear of an iphone user switching over to android!
Lol! At this point i dont really need that much help compared to when i made the switch, because its like you said, you go from forum to forum, Im just makin a sugestion to make it easier to newcomers.

in my opinion xda-developers is the best place to go for information because there is a mad number of members.. keep in mind if you ask a stupid question your gonna get an even stupider response.. you seem to know how the game is played so you shouldnt have a problem.. ppl dont like to spoon feed you here, but if you show that you need a little help here and there you shouldnt have a problem..
Got it, thx for the tip

Firmware version
2.6.35.7

GingerBread EI22

thanks
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.

Hey everyone,
I've noticed about 500 new posts a day saying, "I'm rooted and go an update notification. It's probably JB, should I take it?"
I'm here to help you out.
1. It's not JB. When it does come out you'll see people by the names of Freeza, zanderman, MrTimz, TEAMERA, clark44, etc get very excited and post about how awesome it is that JB is out. We'll be more than happy to at that time. Googling tech blogs and such will also help you stay on top of developing news of this nature.
2. If you have a custom recovery go ahead and accept. The installation will fail and everything will be fine upon reboot. If you have a stock recovery you can update but will probably lose root. Root again using normal methods.
3. The only JB out is leaked build that you would have to install normally.
4. Feel free to flash these builds to try them out and stop asking if you should. It's safe but ultimately your decision, not ours.
5. Stop posting in the dev section. Those of you who can't yet, it's for good reason, not to be mean. The only things you should post in the dev section are Roms, kernels and modifications to Android that you created.
6. If you aren't sure of something and don't want to sound silly, PM an experienced member. I've never had a question posed to me on here that I wasn't happy to help answer within my abilities.
7. Enjoy the place but please stop cluttering it up with the same question over and over. The search button will reveal that you probably weren't the first to ask your question. If you are, then kudos, feel free to post it in the Q & A section to be handled.
Thanks! Love ya guys!
Hey, I just got this message about an update, any info would be great. Is it JB? Thanks in advance, Ive heard your the man to see about this issue

I don't notice much except maybe while scrolling through my contacts and a little in browser. Do I need a benchmark to tell me that, absolutely not.

Thanks for letting us know.
Yes, this is the first ROM I have used for more than a week. Glad at least it's relatively functional.
I wonder what lead to this... how many threads did he have? How many ROMs did he had out at once? Maybe there was too much demands and it felt like a chore..
Anyway, he has his reasons. We all need a break sometimes.. hope that's what this is and he'll come back.

Really would like to see someone take over MIUI development here. The Sprint S3 scene can't be that dead, I see MIUI is alive and well for the Verizon version. Maybe we could entice them to come help over here?
Also, who was the guy who pissed Notorious off? Ban his ass.
