Okay there is no 'best Rom' because all Roms are great! (Just saying that because you will get flamed later if I didn't get it out of the way now... ) If your looking for stable the ics Roms are great. It's the sense 4 roms that aren't AS stable. I'd recommend trying some out and picking the one you like.
For the rooting process, its fairly simple as long as you can read directions. BUT DO RESEARCH BEFORE DOING ANYTHING! don't forget to unlock your bootloader too... And finally, If your anything like me, you will end up rooting your phone tomorrow morning.
Hope this helps!

Are you CDMA or GSM? If you are CDMA, I recommend the ROMs in my signature.
As for rooting, read the stickies in the (CDMA or GSM) development section with regard to rooting. As the previous poster said, if you read, read, and read again, you should have no trouble.

Hello, Jonathan. Rooting is easy. Dont be intimidated by the process. Also, once youre rooted, as long as you dont accept an ota update or go back to stock using an ruu posted on here you wont have to do it again. We dont know if youre cdma or gsm though so we cant help you until then. When we know what carrier youre on we can help you more.
Why do you think you need a dictionary? Your spelling teacher wouldnt be too angry, and you obviously know what the words mean, but your english teacher is shaking their head right now reading this.
Like the previous people said, read! Just go to each thread and read. If you have a question, search for the answer exstensively first. More than likely, youre not the first to ask it.
Good luck, and welcome.
Im drunk. Im all nice n ****. My typing and vocabulary get better i swear lol.

OK, so on the CDMA 3D is there a ISC ROM that has every thing working (4G - camera - wifi - blue tooth )?
I dont really care if the 3d part works, I just want ISC with the normal stuff. Or do I have to use a sense ROM to get all that?

Last I looked, the nonsense ROMs have issues with both 4g and 3d. However, I think that the issues with 4g are about to be cracked by the awesome devs here (if they haven't been already).
I like the two ROMs in my signature. They are Sense based, but everything works. You could also try Devil Toast if you are looking for something that is AOSP.

That is what I moved over to, but I cant wait until all things work on an ASOP ROM! I have full faith the devs here will have it worked out in no time.
And damn am I happy I rooted! lol I have had the 3D for about 6 months and this is the longest I have ever had an Android phone and not had root.
100% worth rooting!

I really liked the Sprint Lover's ROMs back in the day with my TP2. I skipped over getting an EVO 4G, so I missed out on those. Has anyone talked to Chris?

Again give the devs some time root hasnt been out that long yet . Although I am stoked that Netarchy is already on the scene putting out kernels .

So, is this root fully functional, or should I wait until they fully release the unlocked bootloader? Or is there no difference?

If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
There is a developer in the Evo 0G forum that has tried to follow in Chris's footsteps and put out a new Sprint Lover's Rom but it is no where close to being the great product that Chris put out. He was always timely with updates and included all the bling without losing the stock sprint feel. The community lost a great rom builder when Chris switched to the dark side and went iphone.
Well, that's just ****ty as all hell. I need to get into this ROM building thing. I've got some ideas for a couple good roms.

If I root, do I need to flash a custom ROM to get the hotspot? I want to leave it stock, but I want to unlock the Sprint HotSpot feature.
ok, 1st off i'm used to my Evo4G so i know very little about the Photon...yet. So my question is, right now as it stands, if i get the Photon I can root it & run all the root apps & functions & still have 4G, but from the bits i read, if I unlocked the bootloader as well, Ill lose 4G, can sumone clear this up for me?

You are correct. But you can unlock the bootloader and then lock it back up. So its like this:
Root and Unlock Bootloader
Install CWM
Install one of the only two ROMS we currently have
re-lock bootloader
Install bootstrap recovery
install updates to whichever ROM you want through bootstrap
Enjoy custom ROM with locked bootloader and 4g love
It is really just an extra step until we get the kernel source code. This is an absolute great phone and we have great people in this forum to help you out. There are quite a few guides on how to do all of this, if you want to PM me I can help you one on one get it done if need be. Other than that, hope to see you around these parts

I don't know, I find it pretty easy to do, and I'm not very good at adb stuff. I believe there is a one click root tool also and it only takes like 3 minutes to unlock the bootloader.
So I think the whole thing is pretty easy myself. Up to you really.

I had an ogEvo as well and new to the whole bootstrap but most of this stuff just sounds complex. Really isn't a huge deal once you get your feet wet. I had the same reservations when getting the ogEVO but over time ended up doing about everything to it. Never borked it once.

Yea, it really isn't that bad, a bootstrap is more harmless than a real recovery actually. Its just like installing an app from the market really.
And on the borking the android phones. I think this is extremely hard to do because I had an OgEvo and I don't think I could have bricked that if I tried. I think Android is some of the most user friendliest software out there in my opinion. I even thought I bricked my Photon the other day, but I didn't, you always just find out it's user error 99% of the time!
At least for me it is. lol
As for the root/unlock process with the photon, I think it is very easy once you run through it a couple times. I may make a video so people aren't so scared to try it out.

Guyz i just bought this phone, and it is already updated to 2.3.5...im so depressed...is there any way or can u see anything in the near future that will unlock the 2.3.5 bootloader..! bought it online..dont know how to return it back..im stuck with stock rom...i want CM9... Is there any hope..?
No Worries Needed...
well,you can be sure that in closed future you'll be able to unlock your bootloader but till that promotion you can simply root your device,install rom manager,flash clockworkmod recovery.

!!!READ ME FIRST!!!
Let's get many things out of the way:
1. I am not a ROM developer. I'm decent at coding, but ROM making is a first for me. I followed THIS Guide.
2. I have not tested this. It probably won't boot. I doubt it does. I literally just followed the steps from the guide above. I used flex360's Stock with goodies and TEAM SONIC's FreeGS3 ROMs to port. They're both awesome.
3. If this ROM bricks your phone, causes it to catch on fire, burning down your apartment complex and/or causes Skynet to take over the world: Don't blame me. I don't have time to test this. I need to get to bed. Seriously lol. I will test it tomorrow, but this is just a base. I doubt this will even flash...
If you didn't read the above:
THIS PROBABLY DOES NOT WORK. IT IS JUST WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR. I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. USE AT YOUR OWN PERIL. RISK OF BRICKED PHONE FOREVER AHEAD!
UPDATE: CONFIRMED FLASHES WITH NEW VERSION! DOES NOT BOOT STUCK AT HTC SCREEN!
Okay, so now that we have that out of the way...
GSIII Port. This should, in theory have Touchwiz and all the glorious elements of it. I don't believe that it will work, but here it is for anyone to use, modify, share, etc. I have no source or anything from this, as this is an extremely basic and early port. This is a pre-pre-pre alpha at best.
NOW FLASHES! STUCK AT HTC SCREEN. IT IS A START. THIS IS STILL ONLY FOR DEVS. IF YOU WANT TO HELP, PM ME. I WILL LEAVE THIS UP FOR DEVS ONLY!!!
DOWNLOAD [CURIOUS DEVS/LUNATICS ONLY!!!!]:
!!!DANGER!!!
TouchEvoUX pre-pre-pre alpha v -1. Yes, version -1. 617MB. Confirmed will flash. Going to try and get to boot screen then I'll re-upload it tonight. Wish me luck, lol.
!!!DANGER!!!
I STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST FLASHING! THIS SHOULD BE FOR CURIOUS DEVS ONLY!!!!
If you want to help (and maybe have an idea about how to go about this), PM me lol. I know this OP is pretty ugly right now, and so is this "ROM" (I think it is best called a "Franken-ROM") but that is how it will be until this thing is confirmed to at LEAST boot. Hell, if it even flashes without causing your device to catch on fire or explode, I think we can start organizing.

It would probably be better if you just replaced all the HTC widgets and launcher etc. with Samsung's stuff, and leave everything else as is, but this is an honest to goodness port. Come on, which is more fun (which is safe?).

Nice man! You may want to purchase a casket, plot and flowers for it right now. The odds of it working are some where between 0 and 0%.
Seriously though, I just followed the guide, so in THEORY this should work, in practice, it is highly unlikely. But, if someone who knows what they're doing wants to take a shot at getting this thing to boot, then here it is lol.
Yes, you cannot blame me if this causes zombie apocalypse, this entire thread was warning you that this will probably not work. THIS WILL PROBABLY NOT WORK! I won't have time to test until tonight (my schedule for today is insane), but if this thing ACTUALLY flashes without making your device explode, I think you're lying.
EDIT: I just got a few minutes to try. Doesn't flash. assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boo.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p7")
...
Status 7
So, at least it is confirmed not working. Boot image it is. I think it is the bootpath or something to that effect. Anyway, I'll make a note of it in the OP and try and fix it tonight. I'll leave it up for devs to look at.
EDIT: Fixed. Successfully flashes, now just stuck at the htc quietly brilliant screen. I guess it's a start...! Uploading new version that flashes now , will do more tonight.
OP...the Development forums are not to be used for experiments. Do not post anything in the Evo LTE Development section until you yourself have confirmed that it's working. Even though you put disclaimers, we're not going to risk people bricking or doing serious damage to their phones just so they can do what you're not doing and that's testing your port thoroughly.
It's ok for everything not to work as planned but the rom should still be working without the danger you're describing in your OP.
I'm closing this thread for now. If you have a functional, non-hazardous build to put out, then let me or one of the other moderators know and one of us can reopen the thread. But in the meantime, keep working on this.
Hey all,
Just got a Rezound as a replacement for my Droid Charge. This is my first HTC phone since the Touch Pro 2. I was a regular visitor to the DC forums and tried every custom rom and hack you could find there. Coming to the Rezound and reading about the root methods and custom roms seems a bit daunting compared to the method for Samsung phones. I would really like to just start with Stock Rooted and was hoping that this all in one tool will help me achieve that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504824 Can someone confirm this for me. Also, do I need to have the supersu apk on my sdcard or will that tool provide it as well?
Also, will using CWM be okay (purely out of familiarity) once I start tinkering with custom roms and the such? Seems like there is another recovery more popular here.
Any video on someone flashing a custom rom on this phone from start to finish? That would help a lot.
So far I am loving this phone. HD screen is awesome, camera quality took a shot compared to my DC but I don't really care. Much needed boost in processor power finally allows me to play games I previously purchased but didn't have a strong enough phone to play.
I am looking forward to getting to learn more about this phone and participate in future discussions. Soon as I get a custom rom (maybe this weekend) up I will be in full force! Thanks for all of your help in advance.
When it comes to recoveries just use amon ra. Seems like to me there is a lot less problems with it. The all in one toolkit is awesome. It is were I started. Just read the tutorial that is with the all in one. That's all I did. I came from a droid.charge so I know the.difference between the two. I would recommend s off though. Not as scary as it sounds. And it frees your device. So much more u can do such as putting global capabilities to use.
Also a link for all in one soff tool kit. Makes flashing so much easier.

I may request your help as you will understand my point of reference. Yeah I am working up the nerve to S-Off soon. When I saw that wire I got a bit worried. I exclaimed "REALLY?!" when I saw the procedure. My wife thought something wrong happened. Cool, well I will read up on that and figure out which Kernel Rom combo I want. Is it similar to the DC where a rom will come with the kernel in a recovery flash package? I should figure it all soon enough. Just need to get the elections out of my hair.

Yes, if you are S-off, the kernel will usually flash along with the Rom. Just read the Dev's OP before flashing any Rom as they will indicate if you need to fastboot flash the boot.img or if they have a PH98IMG.zip to flash separately. Honestly though, I am considering resetting my security flag back to S-On and manually flashing kernels any way to prevent the risk of bricking the phone. Haven't decided yet.
As for the s-off method, don't even sweat it. just make sure you watch the video and do exactly what it does by touching the correct points with the wire and you'll get it. Not really that hard, might just have to try a few times.
So, welcome!! :highfive:

I wouldn't even worry about going S-OFF. It just makes the flashing process a little bit longer.

You mean shorter?
But op, don't worry about s off. If your worried about what the old lady says, don't tell her your doing it
My wife gets freaked out when I tinker with stuff like that so I just do it in private

Welcome to the Rezound...I think I remember you from the Charge forums.
It looks like everyone else has taken good care of you..I just want to be another voice saying that CWM is the worst possible option for recovery on this phone. Also, I'm surprised about your camera comments. I was never able to make a good picture with the Charge no matter how hard I tried, but I can get good pics out of the Rez without any effort at all.

Good to see you here Shrike, I recognize your avatar and know that you have provided me with many helpful comments. Seeing you hear makes me feel better.
Had some more time with the camera and I formally retract my previous statement(s) about the camera. It handles indoor lighting and low lighting wayyyyy better than my charge. The charge gave nice pictures only in a well lit (sunlight) scene. What I like best is that it compensates pretty well for the flash. Things would look flushed out on shutter and appear clear in the image, vs the charge where the flash on close subjects just made white blobs.
Thanks for the warm reception everyone.

That's what I meant. I was trying to say that not S-offing made it longer.

Check out my TWRP thread in the dev. If you don't want to S-OFF. It shows a great way to flash ROMs/Kernels inside of recovery while being S-ON. It's called HTC Dumlock. The official CWM sucks! Don't use it. If you use CWM use the version found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914215
