Root, custom rom (or stock) and add a theme.. try searching!

seriously you really need to reed up before you try rooting or flashing, if you dont even know what a custom rom is your guna end up with a very expensive paper weight
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:

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.

After 5 days (seriously) attempting to root my phone I think I finaly managed (I think) and I also installed the CyanogenMod 6.0 ROM which I REALLY don't like it. I actually like the original ROM minus the T-Mobile crap that comes along with it (locked items etc).
Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to remove the CyanogenMod ROM and get back on the original ROM? Is there a ROM that just gets rid of the locked items?
I am a noob and a step by step for idiots would be greatly appreciated
To revert to stock you need to get ESPRIMG.zip and put it in the root of your sdcard. Boot into the bootloader and it will automatically install stock.
Out of curiosity why did you flash CM6 after rooting, you could've stayed stock with root instead.

YAY someone replied!!! (Sorry the excitement but I have been posting for days on different forums and no response )
I think I have the ESPRIMG.zip already on there (it's the file that transfers when doing the initial root right?). Now what exactly do you mean by "put it in the root of your sdcard?" Like on its on and not in a folder?
To answer your question, i followed the instructions on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754669 and since it said to add a ROM and the link provided had several links I just looked for one. The CM6 seemed to have good reviews and I just went along with it.
I am a complete noob to flashing/rooting/hacking/etc... phones and thought it was actually needed.
Once I am in bootloader, I do nothing and let the phone act or do I have to select certain options?
Not true, although that is a way, but generally the espr.img file floating around is the engineering build, not stock. If you want the stock ROM with root simply install CR_MOD. It has the ota update applied as well as root maintained. You will also need to remove the espr.img file as it is only needed once.
One other thing, someone is going to do this, so I'll put it nicely.
This is the Development section, not Q&A. This doesn't really have anything to do with development of ROMs or apps, simply how to flash another ROM. There are many guides on how to flash a different ROM, and using the search feature (which you should have done) would have pointed you to CR_MOD which is a stock ROM. If you don't like some of the apps simply remove them from the zip file.
db, I actually did look and read a few http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705345 but they don't say if its for the slide or is it the 2.1 ... does that make sense?
Sorry if I am in the wrong forum, I was trying to be careful to post in the proper one but alas I was wrong a second time....
I just need to be pointed in the right direction and get a step by step guide for noobs in order not to screw my phone.
Would it be possible to transfer this post to the correct forum?
I appologize for the inconvenience.
A moderator can move the thread. There is a guide in this section on how to flash a rom, this section also has the CR_MOD thread where you can download the ROM.

Yes, it will. CR MOD is based off of Stock Espresso. It is a 2.1 ROM with the Espresso Sense, etc. It just has bloatware removed.
Just go to the rom bible or search for CR_MOD 1.35 OTA FULL and it should come up man. If you are patient ill post the link to the thread later and how to flash it.
On a side note... Whats up the questions threads in the development section lately??

For me, the word development = ROM sooooo I just put one and one together but I was wrong and this should have gone to the Q&A... sorry once again.
A link would be great. My eyes are seriously tired of reading and readin and reading for the past 5 days =/
Development = development. As in the developing of roms. Not asking questions about said roms. That's for the QUESTION & answer forum.

Dude seriously I found it in two seconds last night. Do yourself a favor and search the forum for it, or wait until etu posts a link.

I really wish people would stop their banterings about being in the wrong forum. The latest sticky on rules in the dev forum states to use the Report button. All you have to do is click that button and a mod will move it faster than 10+ replies as to why it shouldn't be in this forum. Yeah it's frustrating, but getting it moved is only a click away.
To the OP: Use the ROM Bible to find good info on which ROM is which. The sections are named in a retarded fashion, but the section labeled "Before Espresso, Roms Made Sense!" will probably be the ones you want (Sense is the name of the UI that is from HTC and was the stock look of the software).

At the very top of this page there is a search option right? I copy pasted " CR_MOD 1.35 OTA FULL" and all I got were 9 results none of which where the actual link to it.

Moved to Q&A.
As a little pointer, this is a guide in the sticky to help you decide where to post.
Post What Where:
General - general technical discussion items, news, anything else that does not fit into the other fora categories.
Q&A (Questions and Answers) - all questions, irrespective of type, get posted in here whether they be theme related, accessory related, technical, etc.
Accessories - any items to do with components and/or accessories relating to your device.
Rom Development - only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY. Nothing else goes in here.
Themes & Apps - anything to do directly with the development of themes and/or applications. Nothing else goes in here.

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.

sorry one more thing im also going to be activating my second line on my sprint account and getting another phone one with a full slide out keyboard and will need to do this with that phone as well .... what phone would be the easiest and best to do so with....
Yes, if you use the wireless / wifi tether app, you're set for tethering.
Also, if you want a theme made, go ask in the themes/apps section, they'll help you out there. I know billbowers does themes for a fact.
Also your root method will depend on the hboot, so check it before you root it, and do NOT any OTAs before you root.
Also, you'll have to do the appropriate root method for the extra phone.
Theres a few roms out there that has all that integrated into the rom and theres themes made already for those roms,heres a few threads that have what you want...

There's only 2 phones with slide-out qwerty keyboards at this time, running Android. The HTC Shift and the Samsung Epic. Shift you would be pseudo familiar with, being from the HTC lineup. Epic on the other hand may be a little different than what you have read so far, especially if the phone is running Gingerbread. Good luck.

Sounds like a dirty flash. Did you start a fresh install, wipe everything, prior to installing the new one? If you just flashed over the other build, merging/meshing may occur, but at least it was usable.?
