while not a 100 % sure how they flash I would assume it consist of either rooting or doing at very least a temp root. Tell us what your Hboot is?

 

[klypster310]

My Hboot is 2.18.0001, my phone is flashed to boost already (I paid for it) please I would be happy , main reason is for the wifi tether

Start with the guide and ask questions where you have them. I would read the guide at least 3 times before attempting.

 

[klypster310]

Which guide the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...ooting-dummies-guide-gingerbread-edition.html ?( those this mean I could root but as long as I don't custom rom it? ) my opinion, ????????

 

[ocnbrze]

no, that guide will not work with your hboot 2.18. you will need to use one of these methods found here:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...-rooting-gingerbread-2-3-5-dummies-guide.html. it should work with your setup and keep you flashed to boost. i can't guarantee that but i think you should be fine as long as you try the HTCdev method.

Yhea that one, so just follow all the instructions from the HTCDev mothod all the way,but two things I don't get steps2,&3 Can u explain more of them, what is the step 2 How to get Recovery? how to install amon ra 2.3 recovery / how to install amon ra2.3 with android flasher,( which one i choose ) And step 3 flash the su file or flash a rom, ( stay on stock or flash a rom, which one )( cause if I flash a custom rom it will screw up the boost flash right?) is this really needed

you need to do both steps if you want to be fully rooted. step 2 is needed because you will need a recovery to flash the su zip file. it is not a rom so you should be ok. the su file is needed so that you can use root only apps like the wireless tethering app.

ok you can either flash a custom rom that has the sprint hotspot hacked or you can use the wireless wifi tethering app found in this thread:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...net-tethering-w-evo-4g-3g-wireless-wired.html.

here is also the sprint hot spot hacked:
[HotSpot Hack] Enable Hotspot on Gingerbread - xda-developers

and can you be more specific as to what is going on when you try to tether? also what are you using to tether?
