I had a moment of getting brave, I went to YouTube and I attempted to root. I got the adb file and the others for this "simple" process. I couldn't get phone to reboot when tethered. I took this as a sign to stop. This isn't my first time rooting, I did my evo 4g and my evo 3d, but something told me to quit while I was ahead on this. The only reason I want to root is to get back free hotspot. My first 4gs had it, but when the security of Google wallet went phone was replaced and it no longer works.
