I am gonna try to do the simple root OTA on my evo and just have quick question. I am not gonna put a os mod on at this time as I just want wifi tether and full root access and might attempt cyanogen mod later. So once I do all the steps I will just have my stock os rooted and wont have to flash anything correct.

Thanks
 
I haven't done Simple Root yet but when I do does it ask to flash a ROM? If so, can I sub whatever I see in the instructions (I'll be watching the video.....lol) for whatever ROM I'd like?

I don't think it asks you which ROM you want to flash... It's very easy to flash a new rom though: boot into recovery, nand, wipe and install it from sd card.

So I would do this in step 3 flash hack or when I am completely done with simple root ota??


When you are done with step 4 click on the extras tab in the simple root program and erase the files because they are not needed any more then flash the recovery. then follow the thread at XDA from step one and you should be good to go after that....I deleted the RA recovery in the zip because I already had the clockwork recovery but other than that it should work for you.

Where do I get the recovery flash or is it included with simple root?
