ok that is good to know. i will have to do some more research on how to unroot the phone. i wonder if it is just as simple as running a ruu. project for tomorrow me thinks.

lol, yeah i caught that just now. I was trying to add both roms/kernels and rooting dummies along with this thread to my sig. but I gave up with no html formatting it just looked weird. No idea how evomattnc did it... lol.
@ MNW_Bulls: As long as it's at the top, the other files shouldn't matter. It should be in the G:\SU_wahtever.zip location.
Tried that too. Ran RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.24.651.1_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_NV_2.15_release_199233_signed and it still didn't seem to reset the bootloader back to default for some reason
interesting. may have to have an irc chat with these guys and see what they say.

Ok, so it is backing up my system now.
Some notes, first of all, thank you all so much for all your hard work to make this possible!
Next, I was confused about making sure HTC Synch was not installed, I uninstalled the HTC Driver installer a few times before I figured it out.
I didn't know what to have my usb connection in, charge only is what finally worked.
I needed to restart my computer after unzipping Revolutionary.
It took a while to recognize my device, be patient.
Some folk might not know about the edit functions in the dos window, only way to copy Serial number to enter on to website to get beta key and copy back.
I had trouble because I didn't know how to navigate the bootloader, with the volume key and pressing power button to select.
I got the red triangle thing but when I went to re run Revolutionary, it said I was already S off, so I downloaded the Clockwork Bootloader.
Might tell folk when they are supposed to pull the usb cable from the phone, seems to have caused some of my problems.
That is enough for tonight, I will play with this bad boy tomorrow.
Thanks again to all concerned!

Is there more clearer steps for these? i dont get it. and what is this file for? "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed"
"8.next we need to flash the superuser file
9.select recovery in bootloader
10.select install .zip from sdcard
11.find the superuser file and flash it"
"8.next we need to flash the superuser file
9.select recovery in bootloader
10.select install .zip from sdcard
11.find the superuser file and flash it"
it is so you can get root permissions for your apps and such. and what part do you not understand?

step number 10 and 11. is the file they are talking about is "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed"?

This wonderful file is for Super User. It allows apps to run as root.
Well, I'd actually say those are all the steps to accomplish part 8.
To flash SU file,
go to recovery (Vol Down + Power, then Recovery)
Then you will flash the .zip file using your recovery.
Hope that helps.
yes it is. i will make that more clearly in the guide.
i did this guide in a few minutes as we got news of the rooting process. so forgive me if it is a little crude. i will write a little more detailed version sometime tonight.

sorry for being a noob, but how do you even put super user on your sd card? and if i go to from the Revolutionary Menu > install zip from sdcard > apply /sdcard/update.zip > Yes - Install /sdcard/update.zip is this the file you are talking about?
select "install zip from sd card" and find superuser su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip and select it

I backed up twice and read the Rooting for dummies guide 10 times through to make sure I didn't mess things up. One thing that I was worried about was making sure to backup the WiMax keys so I don't ever perm lose 4g. I noticed however this backup did not leave me with a WiMax.img. Am I missing something?
Sorry if this is the wrong area, but it kinda does pertain to the steps posted by OP.

download wimax rsa key checker from the market. it will let you know if you have your keys. clockwork mod does backup wimax.
