should I root or not

[andygu3]

Update on my rooting! So since regaw method did not work for me I did the Unrevoked download. Got superuser permissions, downloaded titanium backup and rom manager premium. Did clockwork recovery then rebooted into recovery. Did a nandroid and then rebooted. Now my question is, where should I go from there? Just would like a little reassurance! Thanks again for all your help!

glad you got rooted... as far as where to from here... flash a new ROM... Fresh 2.3.3 is a good first rom... then try out a few of the more vanilla ROMs..or even the Froyo 2.2 build that is available.. the main thing is, now you can take your phone to the point that makes YOU happy with it..

After downloading first rom, I get the pop up: Rom pre-installation, do I have to back up existing rom? I should not have to that consindering I'm still running stock, right?

not trying to hijack your thread but where can I find a ROM for the 1.5 firmware version?

if you go to Geek For Me – Sprint Evo 4g & CDMA Hero and download the Kitchen to your PC... you can create a custom 1.5 ROM just for yourself.. real easy to do.. or if you prefer, you can grab one of the 1.5 ROMs there like Fresh 1.1

Congrats on finally rooting!!!

Nandroid, Nandroid, NANDROID... get yourself in a habit with any changes, or flashing of anything (not just ROM's, anything you flash)

Where to go? The sky is the limit. Try several ROM's and get a feel for which kind you like. Fresh's ROM's are close to stock with the Sprint Bloat gone, once you get your feet wet, then you can go for some OC and other ROM's that might need "work" if you will.

If you have questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
