Pretty much copy/pasted from my Craigslist posting:
I just got a great deal on an Evo 3D, so I no longer need this phone.
***FOR THOSE WORRIED ABOUT ROOTED PHONES: It is LEGAL, and Sprint's insurance WILL still cover your phone REGARDLESS OF ROOT OR SOFTWARE MODIFICATIONS! If you are still uneasy about this, contact me and I'll provide you with accurate information confirming this (there's no need to make this posting even longer). We'll be completing the transaction at a Sprint store, anyway. You can ask the staff there before you buy it.
*Flashing to Boost Mobile or Cricket will cost extra! Flasing Boost Mobile will cost more than Cricket! You can also just keep using it on Sprint, it has a clean ESN.
*Price is negotiable! Send me an offer, the worst I will can say is no (unless you give me a hard time).
The phone is in perfect working order; it's got a clean ESN, it has been rooted and has a recovery image, and all its hardware works flawlessly. It is currently running MIUI version 1.09.09 (I can update to 1.10.28 if you really want) with the 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod kernel, and it has Revolutionary's recovery image flashed as well. Over the stock Sense ROM/Kernel, the phone achieved exactly a 50% performance increase in 3D games, and the battery life almost tripled. The software upgrades allow for previously restricted functions such as PS3 controller connectivity through Bluetooth (two-player Mortal Kombat, anyone?), ad blockers for applications, customizable boot screens and lock screens, superuser access, free third-party wireless tethering (wi-fi broadcasting), and many more cool and practical features (I'm not kidding). I can also flash the stock ROM or any other Evo 4G-compatible ROM/kernel/recovery image if you wish. I have backups which I'll include on a CD, and I should be able to email you them if you misplace the CD. I will be willing to resolve any problems with the software for you as long as you haven't changed any of it after the sale (partly because I know you won't have a problem). I may also be able to flash to Cricket or Boost Mobile for an extra fee.
I know what I'm doing, I'm not some kid who just saw a guide on how to root his Evo online and loosely followed the directions. This phone is stable and the hardware hasn't been fried from rediculous overclocking (as a matter of fact, I usually keep it underclocked). I understand this software and know how to implement it correctly, unlike many others who root and flash their Android phones.
If the above information is gibberish to you, in short, I have reprogrammed the software on this phone to allow it to perform drastically faster while simultaneously marginally increasing the battery life and given the home screen many more personalization settings.
Let's start with the bad:
-It has seen its fair share of drops, so the plastic around the corners is a bit rough
-The kickstand is a little bit loose
-The screen has a single hairline crack in the lower left quarter (it's not spiderwebbed, and it doesn't affect functionality at all)
-The currently installed ROM does not support 4G (It doesn't matter because WiMax 4G is virtually nonexistent in Phoenix, and I can flash the stock ROM back onto it if you want)
Now, on to the good:
-The phone works perfectly
-The software modifications bumped my 3D benchmark from 14FPS to 21FPS (Nenamark 1)
-It benchmarks at around 2500 in AnTuTu
-The battery life nearly tripled thanks to the custom ROM and kernel
-It has a clean ESN
-It's rooted
-All apps on the Android market work
-I might be able to throw in an extra battery for cheap
I'm asking $180 OBO for you guys, which is fair given how well it works and compared to the average price these are going for on Craigslist. You can text me any time at (6O2) 46O-3644 or email me, but don't call me (I usually don't pick up if I don't know the number). We will meet at a Sprint store for the final transaction if you are going to use it on Sprint. I'll have pictures up soon, or you can find my ad; just search "Evo 4G White Rooted Clean ESN (Can Flash to Boost or Cricket!)" on Craigslist Phoenix.
