EVERYTHING EVO - Latest Rooting | NAND | Flashing Roms | Wipe

[wigiwagons]

Could anyone please tell me if it is possible to flash an Evo to Bell instead of sprint? They have the same cdma bands i believe.

Hey folks,

I rooted my phone a while ago but never flashed any custom roms, I mainly used it for setCPU and having free wireless teather. I'm intersted in flashing to a gingerbread based rom, preferebly with sense baked in. any suggestions as to which ROM to go with?

I used the unrevoked 3 method that came out before the latest OTA....I know since then unrevoked has been updated. do I need to re do the root process before flashing?

I booted to the bootloader and found this info if its helpful:

evt2-2 ship S-off
hboot 0.97
microp-041f
Touch panel-atmelc03_16ac
Radio-2.15.00.09.01
aug 19 2010

i'm also concerned about keeping my apps. all my contacts and email are backed up to my exchange server, so i don't care about that, but the apps would be helpful to not have to reinstall everything. I downloaded titanium backup but it force closes every time I launch it. I already made a Nandroid backup via the bootloader..but will i be able to pull my apps form that backup? or do I need titanium backup (or some equilivent) to work? what should I do?

Thanks in advance!
could someone tell me if I need to re root?

You don't need to root again. I would uninstall Titanium backup and reinstall to see if that fixes the FC problem then you can do batch backups of all your apps then restore on the new rom. Keep in mind some of the apps may not restore properly if at all, just depends if they support gingerbread. Until an official release comes out there aren't any GB Sense roms as far as I know. I used Deck's GB rom for a few days and it was really nice.

Im using auto root 2.5 and it will not root my phone. I'm a paraplegic and my best friend was doing the process from his computor in fl on mine. Can someone help me please. I'd be willing to give you access to my computor to do it. I have the rom I want just need to root the phone and learn android. I can swap roms all day long on wm on my tp2.Please email me parasurfer1979@gmail.com. Thank anyone for your help.

Well, I recommend Fresh Rom and your going to have to wipe everything so ether way your going to need to re-DL your apps. I would recommend that anyways but with fresh you will never have to wipe again. (if you stay fresh that is)

I have been doing nandroid backup/restore of everything on my phone. When would I leave out some parts such as android secure, cache, data, etc?
I am currently using RA supersonic v2.3 for recovery.

hey i just rooted my evo, and used a rooted stock evo ROM from here --> [ROM] RUU SuperSonic EvO 3.70.651.1 OTA - Stock - Sense - Deodexed & Odexed Version - xda-developers

im a little confused about this radio update from where i downloaded ^

do i also flash this radio after i flash the rooted stock rom? what does the radio do? what happens if i do/don't flash the radio?

thanks for helping

edit: also... will updateing profile, PRL, or firmware effect my root or my flashed rom?
thanks

before you rooted what version firmware were you on?

Just curious, I got a replacement phone sent to me last week. Hboot is 2.10 Can I still do the root process like I did with my previous evo?

[dcharleyultra]

You should be able to, as long as it's compatible with 2.10.
