Hello, sorry for the noob questions, I have looked and can't seem to find a clear answer. I am considering rooting my EVO, but from reading the instructions, it looks like rooting will completely erase my phone and all the apps I currently have. It isn't clear to me if these will come back or not (I definately don't want to have to re-purchase any) after the rooting is complete. I had previously used the unrEVOked method, since all I really wanted to do at that time was to use wireless tether. However, I would like to be able to eliminate some of the crapps that came with the phone, but that is not as critical to me as not having to re-purchase my apps.
My questions are:
I was looking at the simpleroot method, does this still work with the newest update? (I have the latest update from 6-29)
Is there a full root method that will not erase your phone?
Will I have to re-purchase my apps?
Will I have to re-work my settings (e.g. setting up email, WiFi networks, etc.)?
Will I lose Sense (I actually like it)?
Will I be able to partake in OTA updates?
Any other surprises?
What I am really looking for is just to get full superuser permissions without really changing anything else on the phone (ala the unrEVOked mathod) but to also be able to delete the bloatware that came with the phone. It is much more critical for me to not have to re-purchase my apps. I really don't want to have to re-work my settings either, but I would if I absolutely have to.
Given this, should I go ahead and do a full root, or just deal with the bloatware and wait for unrEVOked to update their method for the new update?
Any assistance/advise would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
