Hi everyone -
It's the newbie again! I appreciate all of the previous help and have another question for the group.
I'm not very computer savvy so I had a guy I got hooked up with over Craigslist root my Evo the other day. Today he told me he's moving away...so "good luck with the phone". He was supposed to provide ongoing support.
He installed uncommon-evo v.01.
So, now I have an Evo and am stuck with this rooted rom thing and nervous about what happens if 1) Sprint sends and update, 2)HTC sends an update, or 3) a new version or update to Android OS comes out. Am I pretty much stuck/screwed at this point.
Also, there's apps on there that don't work but the system doesn't let me remove them. (like hulu) and he's not helping.
I've tried to read up on how to do this but am both scared to mess something up and also don't quite get what to do and how to do it.
Should I take it to sprint and have them reset it to factory? Perhaps run it over with the car and send it in under the warranty?
Maybe I'm just a bit in panic mode. If anyone has any advice,suggestions, or answers to my questions I'd be forever grateful. This guy is a programmer and he told me it took weeks before he knew how to root a phone and now i'm on my own. Help me android forums, you're my only hope.
Thanks!
