There is no entering in code in a window pane.
You are taking the life of the Evo into your own hands and risk “bricking” the Evo if you try rooting it. Nevertheless, there are benefits. You can run things that Sprint has prohibited running on your Evo. If you happen to like an app and Sprint has not “authorized” it, no worries, just take control.
The people who provide the free software to root your Evo are called “Unrevoked”. Their team released the software on their site of the same name; unrevoked.com. It is a quick download and actually can make your Evo a bit safer to use, as regarding your personal data.
