Root how do i upgrade on version 2.2 software number 3.29.651.5

been a while since i messed with my evo since i basically run stock ui just have free wifi tethering and now hdmi out! :)

My S-off IS SET to off which i guess is a good thing...i also have amon ra as my recover tool, i would like to backup my phone contacts and apps so I dont have to CLEAR out my phone completely and restart from scratch...i think the last update that came out you had to do that and that was the reason why I just said I dont feel like going through the hassle.

from where I'm at right now do I follow the steps for rooting? I see most people hare their S-ON but mine is already OFF...

any recommendations on where to go to be most current? I'm also interested in running another ROM if it will extend my batter life but again Im not on my EVO that often.

Welcome to the forum :D! If you have S-OFF, you should already be rooted. Do you see a superuser icon in your app drawer? Download Terminal Emulator, stype "su" (w/o the quotations), and if you see a "#" instead of a "$", you're rooted.

To get you started on your journey of customizations and flashing, I recommend you start here:

When you're ready to find the ROM/Kernel of your choosing, go here:
