Help Anyway to "restart" Evo - not shut down & turn on?

Seriously. It's so easy even a caveman could do it... :p
Having never rooted before and new to Android, I'm a bit hesitant. Also, I don't know how easy it would be to get the phone back to stock should I have to return it or upgrade. There's a lot of info (too much for me really) to take it all in. If I did root, I'd just want a basic root keeping the Sprint stuff for WiFi tethering and a reboot app. And I'd need an easy way to go back to stock if needed. I know this isn't the thread for this, but I was asked! LOL

Yes, there is a way to reboot. Just press and hold at the same time the volume up & down rocker (both) and at the same time press and hold the power button. After a few seconds the phone will reboot. No root required, no extra app.

i got the impression he was looking for a way to do this without using the buttons... but I could be wrong :D
