ok i loaded the viper ROM on my EVO 4G and i cant get rid of it. how do i return my phone back to stock?
Did you create a backup before you flashed the ROM? You could restore to that. You also could either flash a stock ROM (search the forums) or RUU. Good luck.
The Sprint store gave me a copy of the RUU and a new ROM but i cant get the boot loader to find it. do i need to change the file names?
I am not sure, I have never RUU'ed before. Sorry.
You have to go to the bootloader on the phone and connect it to the pc then on the pc u run the ruu and it will restore u back to stock

how do i run it connected to the PC? The Sprint store couldnt even figure out how to restore it to stock.
Here ya go man, go here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045935 download the rom.zip (its the stock rooted 3.16) put it on your sd card.
go to recovery,
go to the wipe menu,
wipe data factory reset,
wipe cache ,
wipe dalvic,
wipe system,
go to install and choose the rom from the menu and flash away. when its finished just reboot your device and youll have a stock phone just like from the store,,,,,,but rooted
hope this helped

Ok, I've been having some weird issues lately. Phone freezing, responding very slow, and a few other issues. I want to keep root but do a factory reset. What's the best way to perform a factory reset and not lose root? ##786# then menu and reset? What will happen if I used revolutionary to get s-off? After will I still have s-off and just need to reflash SU?

I'm assuming since you used revolutionary you have either twrp recovery or cwm. In both of these there is a factory wipe/reset feature. Using it will clear out everything but you'll still have root, no worries. Get back at me if you have more questions.

I do have TWRP. What's the difference from the factory wipe/reset feature thru recovery and the ##786# way? Ultimately I want to go back to stock with s-off and keep the SU app.

Look for the bare stock Rom in the development section. It says its a base for development, but its the stock Rom.
Factory resetting will not mess around with your root or S OFF. it just cleares data and apps. stuff like that.
Go for it man, im the same way when i feel my phone get a bit slow. i learned 1 thing, DONT DOWNLOAD **** YOU DON'T NEED lol

There probably is no difference between the two, but the wipe through recovery is there to make sure everything is wiped pre-rom-flash, so I like that way better. No real logic behind it I guess.

Hi,
I accidentally updated to Gingerbread on my Thunderbolt, and I forgot I rooted my phone, by the time I remembered it already had a blue android and an explaimation mark. So I did some random crap, and probley made it worse.
First I did the vol down power thing went to factory reset it loaded CWM v4.0.1.4
I wiped cache patition
Dalvick cache
and Battery stats
then I wiped data/factory reset
It loaded like it was brand new everything seemed fine till I updated and did same thing so I wiped the data again and now it keeps auto updating so I have to keep my internet off
and it's annoying as crap
I'm a noob so I don't understand stuff
should I go ahead with this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009423
I couldn't understand it and if your not rooted why would you unroot I don't get that part...
Do I still have root?
What does flash exactly mean?
Current Specs (I don't know what to give but I'll guess)
Thunderbolt
Top says
Mecha XD S-OFF
HBOOT 6.04.1002
eMMC-boot
Android Version 2.2.1
(tell me if you need any other info)
Should I upgrade to gingerbread any way
Download a customer rom, put it on your sd card and flash it in CWM. I'm running BAMF forever and like it. There are plenty of roms to choose from. This should stop the update. After running the rom if you decide you like stock better you can flash the stock rom back and take the update. You will loose root.
Pull the update off the SD. It will stop flashing it

1) The phone will not boot all the way up?
2) is the recovery stock or CWM?
3) do you have a recent back up made?
4) do you have s-off?

1. it boots up all the way, turns off after 10-20s each time, regardless of what action i'm taking
2. cwm recovery
3. no backups recent or not
4. i don't know if i 'have it' but when i load hboot the status is 's-off'
Does it crash or shut off? Maybe a hardware problem?
It powers down the normal way.

If you clear the cache, the shutdowns will stop.
But the OTA will download again, and in a few days you will have to repeat the process.
A custom ROM fixed me, but now the same thing poped up.
May go back to stock .... trying xdabolt, but in the process lost my data.

What am I looking for on the SD card to remove?
sounds like you still have s-off. Anything you are trying to save like app data is gone if you do not have a back up. I would down load a customer rom or even one of the rooted stock versions with the latest OTA and flash that with CWM recovery. Be sure to clear cache and dalvick wipe first when you flash it. There are RUU you could use to return it to stock, but you will lose root. I'm running BAMF forever 1.0.9 and like it. Play around with some roms and if you don't like them use a RUU to restore you back to stock. Most important is make sure you read up on things first.
Hey I endded up just unrooting using this video
(can't show video url)
(Search how to unroot on youtube you should see it by nat3mil and I think that's only if you have revolutionary)
and I guess the video would work too.
If you restored to factory settings using power and vol down buttons and wiped the data in the revolutionary thing, and then followed the video...
phones working now and the video's idiot-proof

unrooting is good and all, but if that happens again, just look around for the newest ruu and find a rooted version. most ruu get rooted that day... heck i had 2.11.605.5 rooted b4 verizon released it (the 2nd leak, the one WITH working vm notifications) thanks to eris of course. then you'd be up to date, stock, rooted... all you'd have to do is wipe dalvik, cache, and system... keep the data (if coming from sense 2.1 rom) and you'd be good.
i don't mess with sense 2.1/3.0 hybrid or 3.0 roms anymore, for this very reason. a ton of incompatibilities between the roms and framework, causing you to have to wipe data when switching... what a pita! i haven't wiped data in months. keep the data always to make life easier...
if you have problems, use clockwork's "fix permissions" and reboot. problem not solved? then retry rom installation WIPING EVERYTHING, then at least you tried to keep your stuff. titanium backup is great for backing up apps + data, so you can import the data back when you're stable on the new rom... just restore the apps + data for the necessary apps, and app only for the stuff that doesn't mnatter... never restore system apps + data for roms with severely different basebands or from completely different roms. unrooting won't be necessary next time

If the phones rooted you can prolly get into recovery VIA hboot.
If its not rooted you can prolly find a ota ruu and flash it in hboot. U can do that if its rooted too but ull lose root. Or if its a locked s off there's methods to roll back to factory and turn s on. And yes delete the orig update off the card

Anyone, or flash to Gingerbread? I really need my 4G my OG DROID battery is f**ked, I NEED THIS PHONE WORKING!
I've asked for help in the threads posted about the OTA update and I cannot get the help I need. I've seen people post similar questions that I have and they are largely ignored. I had to stay away from the forums because I was getting so damn angry.
I have root and I have S-Off. I have not flashed any ROMs on this phone. I want to apply the OTA update but I do not know how to do that.
There's mentions of flashing firmware, radios, PRIs, PRLs, ROMs, Deoxed, Oxeded, hboot, bootloader, recovery, TWRP, etc. All of that across multiple threads does not compute well in my head.
I've read a lot and I am not sure what to do. Can someone please help me out? I will be forever grateful. I could send you a case for your phone for helping me. I promise I am not being lazy. I'm just not getting it.
If you're rooted and you have S-Off, you should have TWRP. First verify that by booting into the bootloader (Power + Vol Down) and going to Recovery.
Once in TWRP, do a backup. Backup everything. This way if something goes wrong you can restore your previous ROM.
Next download this: http://d-h.st/d2a
It's the firmware zip, courtesy of Haus. Rename the file to remove all of the stuff after PJ85IMG. Then put it on the root of your SD card and boot into the bootloader. It will scan for a zip and find it, and ask you if you want to update. This step is optional; you can flash new 1.22 ROMs without the new firmware.
After flashing that through bootloader, you can choose a 1.22 ROM that looks good to you, and download it. Boot back into TWRP, do a factory reset and wipe System, and then install the ROM. If you download it to your external SD card (in other words, an SD card you put in yourself), you'll have to mount it by going to Mounts and choosing external SD. That way you'll be able to access files on it.
To install the ROM after wiping, just hit Install from the main menu of TWRP and navigate to the location of the ROM zip you downloaded. Install it and reboot, and there you have it, you're on the new firmware and using a ROM with the new fixes in it!
The firmware zip is optional, but recommended. If you aren't comfortable flashing it, don't bother.

I would personally recommend staying away from that method. As a rooted user you should never accept an ota. Doing it that way might work this time, but in the future there's no guarantee you won't lose s-off and never be able to get it again

I know "never OTA" is your and some other people's mantra, but being able to do this is one of the benefits of S-off. I agree it is possible they could turn you back to S-ON in a future OTA (maybe...), but since it works for this current update, I don't think you should be dissuaded if you don't want to completely wipe your phone.

My man.
Exactly.
Just look at all of the people who show up on here going "Oh crap I took the OTA and now I can't get S-OFF"! The fact of the matter is, people don't check here before taking the OTA. If they look here and see that thread that says to just put on teh stock recovery and you're A-OK, thats what they'll do from then on.
When it happens, I'm just going to sit back and say "toldya so"... and let everyone else deal with the support. Until then, I'm going to keep preaching that you should never take an OTA if you are rooted or EVER thinking about rooting.
Sora, I looked at your instructions. I flashed ROMs before on my EVO 4G. That process I was comfortable with. Basically, the developer did all the work for me. I wanted to keep my phone stock for a while but I do want the updates.

It really comes down to this, if you're still having problems:
If you have recovery, just flash a ROM with the new base. Just like you'd do on your old Evo.

Ok, so I will have to flash a ROM. Do you think I can flash the deodexed version of this [ROM][STOCK] --- Stock Rooted 1.22.651.3 Odexed & DeOdexed (7/14/12)--- over my stock-from-Sprint setup?
I flashed TWRP. I'm going to update the firmware next with the file you pointed me to. I'm trying to find the info on clearing Google wallet.
...then the ROM.
Clearing GW data should say something about resetting it. It'll be in the app settings.
Seems like you've got it down now, I'm glad to say. You'll be able to flash that ROM without any issues.

I Dont think any ROM is gonna be what you need. If you have data call failure it's gonna be a provisioning issue and you will probably need to walk thru some epst codes with a sprint tech. Do not extract ROM. Get a fairly stock ROM to boot. If S-on will need to fastboot flash boot.IMG after flashing ROM. Once up and booted, try a different sprint tech. As long as you get a ROM with epst (pretty much any sense ROM), it doesn't matter if you have root, they'll be able to help. Maybe just don't mention you have root.

When you clicked on the exe file it automaticly loads the img file, You dont have to look for one. You need to just use the file that loads automatic.

I Dont think any ROM is gonna be what you need. If you have data call failure it's gonna be a provisioning issue and you will probably need to walk thru some epst codes with a sprint tech. Do not extract ROM. Get a fairly stock ROM to boot. If S-on will need to fastboot flash boot.IMG after flashing ROM. Once up and booted, try a different sprint tech. As long as you get a ROM with epst (pretty much any sense ROM), it doesn't matter if you have root, they'll be able to help. Maybe just don't mention you have root.

I think we need to get him running before Sprint is going to help him. He is stuck in a boot loop.

Ran Venom flash (flash boot.img)
It reboots phone to white HTC screen with the red HTC development screen... That's all...
What happens when you go into recovery and try to flash the rom now?

I do not get a "Drive" via USB to copy anything over to the phone so I can only run the Venom Flash via command prompt using FASTBOOT USB...
Relevant;
S-OFF, TWRP, CM10 based ROM (RootBox)
Everything is working except for my phone. I get 1x data, but the phone number won't show up, I can't dial out without getting a "your account doesn't have this feature" recording.
The MEID comes up correct, but I can't do ##786# or any PRL updates.
I didn't see anything in the FAQ's, but I'm assuming this is because it's not based off of a stock sprint rom. How can I do the PRL/Provisioning?
Flash a sense rom and update Profile and PRL then flash back to RootBox

In addition, if that doesn't work for you, try to make a phone call once you've flashed a Sense ROM. Sprint may have to re-provision your service, at which point you'd be good to go.

Yep. One thing I neglected to mention is that I updated the radio firmware after I went S-off before I loaded the new rom. I was still using Freshmod previously and everything was working great. Since Fresh isn't in development anymore I figured it was time for some upgrades.
Now I can't load a stock rom on to it. Every time I try to install a rom through twrp it reboots about 10-15 seconds into the load, when I get back into TWRP /sdcard is corrupt and has to be reformatted before it's recognized again.
Already did a factory reset/wipe in TWRP 2.6.0.0.... Is this an issue where TWRP has to be downgraded?

Shouldn't be. Boot to recovery and mount your internal storage to your computer. You should get the option to format it. The file system type is FAT32. Should be good to go afterwards. The issue seems to be related to swapping back and forth between Sense and AOSP, but I personally have never had the problem.

I had to do an advanced wipe in TWRP and wipe everything, format the internal SD, found a small (350 meg) sense rom (UR/EVO), that loaded this time. I was able to go in and activate the phone and do an activation and PRL update.
Going to try and reload Rootbox now... Wish me luck.
