Re: Got Full Root what to do next
 

Yes, you can delete that because you no longer need it. What you need to do now is find a rom that you like and just flash it. (Giving your phone history, I assume you're familiar with roms).

With winmo yes but dis first time wit Android..
I d/l Rom manger from market but im tryin to find a topic how to flash a Rom?

And do i need to make a recovery b/4 i flash a custom Rom or just flash a custom Rom then make a recovery? Thanks 4 da help Homies

Can you use the free hotspot with root? I really don't want another ROM. also if you root, will you still get the updates? Can you go back to an unrooted state if you want?

You're welcome bro, always good to pass along knowledge and links that others have shown me and always good to see another person root their phone and be free from the bloatware and experience the potential that our phones have.

Re: Got Full Root what to do next
 

Glad to see that your venturing into the ROM flashing world, it's a little scary the first few times but before you know it you'll be a flashaholic lol.

Ok now that you downloaded rom manager you can open that program and then scroll to the bottom and pick flash alternative recover to RA Recovery 2.3 as it's a better recovery to use and less problems flashing ROMs.

Now download your ROM of choice and get that bad boy on your SD Card and put it wherever you want as you can navigate to it once you reboot your phone into recovery to flash it, personally I just make a folder on my SD card named custom ROM's and store them their.

Before you get that far you need to do a nandroid of your stock ROM in case you ever have issues and want to go back or need your wimax keys.

Download the ROM you want, put it on your SD card, reboot phone into recovery and then go to back-up/restore and do a nandroid, then volume down to nandroid backup and let it run, once that is done you can scroll to return and then hit the power button to start your ROM flash. Scroll down to wipe and then to wipe ALL userdata/factory reset and do that 2 or 3 times, then do the same for cache and dalvik cache, once those are done return back one level and go to flash zip from sdcard and then navigate to the ROM you downloaded and then flash away, always make sure that you read the ROM thread to to know if there are any issues with the ROM and if their are what fixes if any are available, personally I read the ROM information that's in the first couple of posts and then I'll read the last 5 or so pages to know what issues/fixes are available and if anyone's having any issues installing the ROM, stuff like that.

Sorry for the long post but hope it provides some useful information to you, if you have any other questions feel free to pm me, good luck!

I'm not familiar with that program but I'm assuming you are talking about a program that's in the market. You should be able to root the phone and install that program without any issues. Why you wouldn't want another rom is beyond me, if anything they have custom stock roms that takes out all the sprint bloatware and adds in a few programs and the phone runs better. Any updates that sprint comes out with a Dev will incorporate into their custom rom. The only way that I'm aware of to go back to being unrooted is to restore your nandroid or flash an RUU file via your computer, the link below is to a thread that has a link to a site with the stock roms on it.

Thanks Homie..

I would still switch from within ROM Manager to RA as people have issues with Clockworkmod recovery more than RA Recovery, but if you want to use Clockworkmod then have at it. Yeah Titanium is a good program to back-up your programs and their data, I wouldn't use it to back-up anything else. Well it's personal choice on which rom you run, I personally run Synergy which is a Sense 2.0 and hints of 3.0, great rom that's very stable for me, I have also used a rom called R3charged by a Dev called Evolvedrom and it's a Sense 3.0 rom but it's not as stable as at 2.0 or 2.0 with hints of 3.0 in it. Below is a link to a thread that has links to a lot of great roms.

Like I said before I suggest looking at the different roms and see what you like and read up on what it has installed in it and what issues if any it has.

Re: Got Full Root what to do next
 

KIOWA69.... ok i picked Synergy - [RC1 06/27/2011] not the "GODMOD Version"

[ROM] Synergy - [RLS1+GodMode 08/05/2011] - Now With Warm Sprinkles! - xda-developers

i put it on tha SD card and and did tha tha steps as u said above even wiped each 3 times then went back and browsed to tha ROM and selected it and confirmed to flash and it would say this..

"E:/cant find update script " "Installation Aborted"

i try'd it 2 times and says tha same thing.. any idea what this means ?

i didnt have tha EVO hooked up to tha Pc when i try'd to flash, mayb i should have hooked it up to tha Pc and select "Charge" i did have full battery..and i did this threw Bootloader not with RomManger and i did switch with in Rom Manger to RA .

and i chose Synergy b/c of yr knowledge so i could have a stable Rom for my fist flash till i get familiar with this process..

Re: Got Full Root what to do next
 

That's weird that you are having that issue, could it be that you got a bad download? My process when flashing is to use Calkulins Format All and then I wipe all those things I told you about 3 times each and then flash the rom through recovery <that's the screen with all the options to wipe the phone, Wipe battery stats, flash a zip file>, so once you wiped all that stuff you backed up one level and then went to flash zip file and then selected the rom file you downloaded and it gave you that error? If it was me I would download the rom file again as you may have gotten a bad download somehow.

***Edit***
I know you could have found the Calkulins Format All but figured I would save you some time and just upload it, of course credit goes to Calkulin for making it. Like I said above all you do is use the Calkulin format all a couple of times and then wipe all that other stuff I said to wipe and then flash the rom.

Ok. Thanks n advance for yr time homie..
When i posted this problem i then went to c if i could find a answer on here... And i came across Synergy's new released/updated version of tha Rom i d/l yesterday RC2 .
So i started d/l it diss morning with my PC instead of usein tha Evo..the RC1 i used my Evo to d/l it so it could have been tha issue..
I d/l tthat .zip file Caulkin and noticed its not a .apk file so i realized i cant install it so im guessin that i got to navigate to it n Bootloader and run it from there..

EDIT: ok it worked after useing Chaulkin Format.. its installing tha Synergy RC2 Rom now..YAY..YAY..
by tha time it finish's installing i gotta leave for work.. post back after i get 8 hrs's of checkin diss rom out... YAY..thanks alot Homie yr tha greatestttttttttttt

Re: Got Full Root what to do next
 

Glad to hear you got it flashed! Yeah it's important that you wipe the phone completely when installing a rom or you'll end up having issues.

One thing to note is that the RC2 is an older ROM, Synergy RLS1 is the newest one he has out, and the Evolved R3charged is his newest one.

Be aware that your battery life won't be great at first as it has to settle in and depending on your signal quality and all that, so before getting mad that your battery don't last give it a couple of days to settle, I use the Sprint 2600 mAH battery. Make sure to use the newest radio/prl and all that, which if you was on the Sprint Gingerbread then you should have them already, and you can change the kernel too and that way you can get better battery and even over/under clock the phone using SetCPU or whatever other program you like.

Re: Got Full Root what to do next
 

i d/l and flashed Synergy RSL1 Rom and WOW.. this rom seems to be very stable . i stayed on my Evo 4hrs straight and never got any f/c or noticed any problems.. this Rom has settings galore..lol..i did a nandroid backup of my stock Sprint Rooted Rom b/4 tha RC1 flash, but my question is do i have to do this everytime i flash a diff rom?

" wipe ALL userdata/factory reset and do that 2 or 3 times, then do the same for cache and dalvik cache,"

i did it b/4 flashing tha RC1 rom b/c it was my first Flash , but i did it again when i flashed tha RLS1 is this nessary b/4 every Rom Flash?

thanks homie

Re: Got Full Root what to do next
 

Yeah it's a very nice ROM with a lot of great options in it, and it's very stable.

Yeah when you do a clean install and wipe everything with Calkulins Wipe and then wipe user and then cache and dalvik you should get a nice clean ROM install on any ROM you install and yes it's important to do that between each ROM that you install to help ensure that you won't run into issues with FC's.

Another thing that sometimes causes issues is restoring programs and their data with Titanium, not all the time but once in a while it will give me issues, never back-up the phone data and try to restore that as it will give you issues and FC's because your trying to restore data from another ROM that won't work on the current ROM.

If it was me I would take that nandroid of the stock ROM you did and store a copy on your computer for back-up purposes, I don't know what size SD Card you have but I bought a 16GB card from Best Buy for like $45 and it's worth it as I can do nandroids/store lots of music/pictures/apk's/ROM files and all kinds of stuff on it without running out of space like I was with the stock 8GB card.

Yes I would create a nandroid of each current ROM at it's peak performance so that when you do decide to flash a new ROM and if it doesn't work right or you don't like it you can just restore your previous ROM very easily by restoring that nandroid.

Hope this has helped.
