Note: Make sure you root your Evo 4G first!
For installing the ROM I used in the video:
You will need to also flash Google Apps separately and Google Talk too:

thanks for the reply man
how exactly do you revert back to 2.2?
help me out?
download the RUU file first, then do the following steps:
1. Reboot your HTC Evo 4G into bootloader mode by turning the phone off then pressing the power button while holding down the volume down button.
2. Select “Fastboot” and hit power button.
3. Connect your Evo 4G to your computer and make sure “Fastboot USB” comes on the Evo 4G.
4. Just download the RUU file and run.
5. That’s it!
James: I see ppl are having problems with the RUU file. If u give me ur email address, i’ll try to send u a copy of the one i have. I haven’t had any problems with mine.

Try going to Settings->Power and unchecking Fastboot. When that’s enabled, you can’t get into recovery.
Just how much rom can you install at one time can u run more then one rom on your phone
You can install one rom at a time but you can use the backup/restore function to switch between your ROMs.

Do you know why I cannot install the google apps cause I do really need them.

Never mind, I solved it.
Do you have links to overclock my Evo 4G?
I LOVE THIS SITE & UR VIDEOS ARE VERY HELPFUL, THANKS
After I flashed the ev0 4g with the gingerbread-deck rom, everything went well
it all works except for one thing… where is the connect to pc ?
it worked when i downloaded prior to flashing, after flashing i think it set to sync
and I dont know where to set it back for drive storage so i can transfer files back and forth.
I went through dev settings and the regular settings .. notta
if anyone can point to where i can make that setting change, would appreciate it
disregard… just turned off usb debugging all of it is automagic now thanks!!1
Hi. I have unlocked with the htcdev method. I’m just weary of flashing a custom rom and needed clear directions. I have the hboot 2.18. Now my question is I’ll have to install the rom using fastboot since I don’t have s-off. Do I flash the rom and then kernel separately if the kernel is different? Just need some steps to install roms and kernels with flashboot since that’s the only way I can do it. Thanks.
Hi again,
Also wanted to add that I have Amon Ra.
All three zip links are down.
^ yes..how are we supposed to download them??
Have you flashed any of odjdub’s roms “ODJDub HD Bliss 3.5” “HD Express Sense 3.0”, where you have to partition the sd card?
Do you think that would be a worthwhile “how to” video? Cause I know Im super confused lol
You are my hero. I had a lot of trouble getting root for me Evo4G. It was such a headache until I found your root vids and this one to get CM7.
Thanks so much, man!
Hey I have a question but I need help everytime that use the RUU to boot the rom it appear a message that said ” htc _fastboot.exe has stopped working ” I only have two option debug and close program what can I do?
