So i'm finally ready to root my evo after reading tons and tons of threads over the last month. (along with watching a few youtube videos..)
however, i have a few minor questions about what i should to before i start to root.
I understand that i can temporary root with z4root and then use titanium back up to save all my data, settings, contacts, apps. However, last time i tried to do this titanium back up kept saying that i didn't have root access. I never restarted the phone so i know that i didn't reset the temporary root... any advice on how to get a back up made before i start?
Also, i'm planning on using the guide that Fred posted, but i have the following questions..
Immediately after i have completed the root process, will my phone look exactly the same and just have root access?
After the root is complete i should get rom manager from the market along with amonra to back up my set up? or do i nandroid back up first?
to do an nandroid back up i just go into the boot loader and navigate towards it correct? or do i need to download something as well?
as you can see, i'm not so concerned with the actual rooting process.. i want to make sure i know how to make a proper backup of everything that i can possible back up before, and right after i do the rooting process. feel free to offer any advice or suggestions!
thanks for the help everyone!
