Thanks for that info! At least it's a quiet night here at work for me, so I'm having time to look up info & learn more about this! haha I'll probably go with meanrom for now, and possibly change it up at some point in the future.

now that you are unlocked, it does not matter what software version you are on. you can flash any rom that you like as long as it is designed for the evo 4g lte. you can go back and forth if you like. just as an example if there was a gingerbread rom out for the evo 4g lte you could flash that as well, then if you change your mind you can flash an ics rom. it really does not matter.
i was just saying that with mean rom, there will be no more updates as the dev has moved on to jb with meanbean.
I downloaded Titanium backup and it said I don't have root when I loaded and attempted back-up. Downloaded Root Checker and it said I don't have PROPER root. What exactly does this mean? What did I do wrong? Is it saying that because I'm still S-ON, or because I haven't installed a rom yet?
To be rooted you need to flash either a rooted rom, or flash a superuser zip package onto your existing unrooted stock rom.
If you're on TWRP 2.4.4, it will fetch the superuser package for you.
If not, just flash that package.

I have SuperSu that was in the Root files I downloaded and flashed. It says the SU binary needs to be updated and says I should use my custom recovery (TWRP) to install. Then it says SuperSu will attempt to reboot my device, but doesn't.
Go here, get the UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.25.zip and install through TWRP.
It's not you.
Not once has anyone come through here saying that that they went to Evo Hacks and had no trouble.

The only reason I went through Evo Hacks was because THEY were the first one I found! Honestly, I forgot I had signed up here last year. I tried to sign up & it said my username AND email were already taken, so I requested a forgotten password and BAM! haha. You guys here are awesome, and have made it MUCH easier with helping walk me through everything!
Decided to stick with stock for now since my buddy said he has been getting issues with MeanRom lately, so I downloaded WiFi Tether since I just wanted root for tethering. Just installed it & went to use it, and after MAYBE a minute of it running, I had a message pop on my phone saying something to the effect of "What the Hell! Your phone is trying to take control over internet" or something like that. Then my phone shuts the program down on it's own. I'll uninstall & re-install and see if it pops again. Any ideas why this could happen?
there are other roms other then mean rom. have you tried meanbean or even viper(earlymon likes viper)? just make a nandroid backup of your stock rom and flash away. if you are having issues or do not like it you can always restore your nandroid backup.
i do not think it will hurt anything especially if you are on stock. just make a nandroid backup first then go ahead and accept it.
the error actually says that? weird
not sure but here are other versions you can try as well.
https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
try the first one v3.3 pre 2
Yes it actually says that...I found it EXTREMELY strange as well! I was like WTF when I saw the pop up! lol Hope that 3.3 pre 2 works with my radios!!!
it still does it? did you try any of the ones i linked?
i also found this:
https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=977#c4
try that fix and see.
It's baked in to some roms. One was recommended to you. Hint hint.
Go for the easy button here.
Yeah, I tried all of them, and the same thing happened. I'm not sure if I'm just not setting up correctly or not, but it's annoying as hell!
did you try the fix as suggested in the link i just provided?
no
try wiping dalvik cache and cache......to be honest i would just flash a rom if you gonna be wiping anyways. and i think either meanbean or viper would be the way to go.
both of them have the hacked hotspot cooked in.
I'm using version 3.2 beta 2. I tried doing the steps from the link you posted, but when trying to turn WiFi on in settings, WiFi Tether had the error & shut down before I even had a chance to click to turn WiFi on. Plus I'm not using a samsung product, so I don't know how much issue that would have with outcome.
Could you possibly link to the most current version of both? Which do you prefer? MeanBean or Viper? Since I'm new to ALL of this, any suggestion is helpful! lol Thanks again!
yep go here:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte-all-things-root/614073-list-utilities-roms-kernels.html. go to the staff picks. the first two there are meanbean and viper.
and use the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-lte...g-dummies-guide-racun-babyracun-unlocked.html. go to the second post for instructions on how to flash a rom properly. and don't forget to make a nandroid backup before flashing a rom.
i guarantee you that those two roms are waaaaaaaay better then stock.
For Viper, don't wipe from TWRP, let the installer handle that.
Both are excellent.
(sorry for forgetting that it's MeanBean now)
