i would say that you're right about me being in an unknown territory. i come from the webOS land and i had to switch over my Pre giving me too many hardware issues (not related to the oc kernels though). last one, my lcd damaged, just like that so, i went for the evo.
in other words, as of today, i have a starter knowledge of Google Android and the EVO 4G at most. i'm digging those threads from here, xda devs, and everything else i can find to see and understand how everything works.
and yes, i do know that there's no way to root an EVO 4G (never rooted) that has been updated to the OTA Android 2.2 (*.6 build) as of now. i'm still watching closely to the threads to see how it develops. and no, i didn't knew that Android exploitability would be much like the iPhone OS (iOS) in terms of breaking jailbreakability with every update.
i still have much to learn, and will keep on it. you will see me quite often.
