Rooting and ROMs

[nealmetcalf]

Anyone know is ShiftRR actually works to root the Evo Shift (i cant find all the files to do it the command line way)?
What is the recovery install thing for that's part of ShiftRR? It comes with a clockworkmod recovery img file.
What are some good ROMS and where can I find a stock ROM if I ever need flash back to stock?
Refresh my memory, how do you flash roms again?
Best apps to download once rooted?
How do I unroot if I ever need to?
Anything else I need to know?

Thanks for the help!
I'm new to this and doing it for a friend, i'm better with technology than he is.
Sorry for all the questions!
