Root [CDMA] New Service

[Grandfinalex]

So I recently came into owning an Evo, but I'm not going to sprint with it, Probably going to Metro or Boost. My question here is, am I going to have to put the stock ROM back on my phone before either carrier activates it? Or am I fine using the MIUI Rom I have on my phone currently? Thanks in Advance

Yes & no -
You will need a Sense based ROM - Stock not required...
MIUI is AOSP so you will need a different Rom to activate.
But Just make a nandroid and flash back after activation.

Thank you very much for the answer. I really appreciate that

So I guess, now my issue is I can't flash anything BUT MIUI. I tried restoring my back-up for pre-MIUI (After I unlocked the bootloader), but it gets stuck on the boot (Htc - Quietly Brilliant). Trying to flash a new rom just makes it stick at the splash screen (HTC). But If I re-flash MIUI or recover from my MIUI Back-up. There are no problems. Am I missing a severe step here? I'm sure HBOOT 1.5 doesn't help, I hear there problems with it.

Yup....1.5 is the issue. You need to flash the kernel separate....
Read the top pined post. All details are there.

Thanks a lot guys, I got it via the Flash GUI method as soon as I realized I had to flash the kernel/ROM separately. I actually got one of them to start loading (albeit a bootloop) definitely further process.

Flashgiude app is one of the best apps for the HTC HBoot 1.5 debacle. You could also use the Juniper method if you want to get S-off, if you feel confident enough, I have not tired it, but many say it takes 5 minutes, and works great, simply getting the timing right, [S-OFF] Juopunutbear S-OFF -Beta Release- Incl. 1.50 hboot (no downgrade)

Definitely something I'll try out once my actual internet is back on. ZR3DX booted up finally, I'm pretty satisfied.
