Okay, just reading through there it looks like I should be good to do it without my device self-destructing. Couple questions, real quick, though.
I imagine I need to wipe my device before doing all of this?
Will the Clockwork Mod at this link
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ep...uide-gingerbread-rooting-samsung-epic-4g.html still work? Or is there an updated version I'd need to download?
Also at that link it says optional for installing the EL30 kernel. What are the benefits to installing that?
And lastly, it says, "Place the CyanogenMod update.zip file on the root of the internal memory." Is that saying to place it on the SD card on my phone? And if so, where at, exactly?
And seriously, you guys are awesome for helping me out with this. I was hesitant to buy the Evo 4g LTE as it seems like it's basically just hardware upgrades and I don't think those upgrades would satisfy me for the next 22 months. If this stops my phone from it's daily freezes and crashes, I can hold off on buying a new phone until a phone comes out that I HAVE to have. Not just the best available at the time.
