ok i just used the simple root method to root my phone. now my 3.5 jack doesnt work cant use a head set. Also i notice it downgraded everything. I wanna use flips roms but it says i need the newest radio and build. Is there anyway to get that without flash the stock rooted rom. Or do i just flash it then flash flips. Someone please help me im really confused right now
not sure if it helps, but after you root you should wipe then flash a new rom (like fresh if thats what you want). Then after you flash the rom you can flash the newest radio (unless the dev said to flash radio first)
go get the 1.47 build, flash that on there, then root it. it'll update your radio and 4g, then root and flash flipz.
ok confused cause i had the 1.47 build then used simpleroot for it but it downgraded my software but gave me full root. where can i get the 1.47 build at
all i want to do is to be able to use flips roms.

When I do a NAND Backup, does it backup the radio???
Just wondering in case I have problems with the radio I flash... if I can go back to where I am today (including the radio)...
Thanks!
No it does not.
So what if I want to go back to my stock 1.36 radio (or would there be no reason for me to do this since 2.05 is that much better)?
Also, will the 2.05 radio work with any ROM (including my stock sprint rooted 1.32.651.6 firmware)?
Read. This has been discussed 100 times.
The new radio will only work with the newest stock OTA or a ROM that is based off the newest OTA which is clearly spelled out in the first post of any new ROM thread.
Ok... thx... I hate to follow up with more noob questions, but does that mean I need to flash a latest OTA rom before I can go to CM6 because I need to flash the lastest radio BEFORE installing cm6?
No, you can flash radios and kernels separately from ROMs. Just flash CM6, then flash a radio, and you should be good.

Follow the instructions on the thread for the ROM you want to install.
And since I can see this coming a mile away, if you flash CM6, you will lose 4G and HDMI. No there is no way around it. So don't do it then wonder why it doesn't work.
Thanks for the help... I was aware that Wimax and HDMI aren't working yet on CM6 RC1 .. but don't need either...
I updated to the official-ish Froyo update, it good except for a few problems. 1) I have no flash, I cannot uninstall flash, and I cannot update flash! 2) at startup pretty much all of my apps start, and many randomly start when I don't want them to. What can I do to get flash? How do I change the run at start issue? Should I try to run the update again????
What about trying a factor reset? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!
You probably upgraded over a custom rom, much like flashing any custom rom you cannot flash an OTA upgrade over a custom rom. You can only flash them over the previous OTA rom as that is what it was designed to work with. I flashed over stock 1.47 rooted with Unrevoked only and everything works fine no bugs whatsoever that I can find yet i see many posts from folks having problems. I suppose this is why Apple and iPhone have such a good reputation as it's pretty much braindead upgrading an iphone you don't flash custom roms only flash factory roms and then use a method similiar to unrevoked to "jailbreak" them.
Anyways if you want everything to work perfectly revert back to stock rom then install all the ota's then install the froyo rom and wait for an unrevoked root that doesn't make irreversible changes to the phone such as toast's method does with the engineering spl. Unfortunately if it still doesn't work properly your stuck with what you have because you can't currently revert back to a factory stock evo after using toast's root method sorry to say you will need a new phone to get back to completely stock as currently there is no way to undo some of the changes made using toast's method to root.
Good Luck.
Me too...

i am running a rooted version of 1.47.651.1 that i got from xda wiki for my Evo. Every time i try installing OTA 2.2 it shows a white triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle. I have tried all 3 versions of the RUU and none of them work. I can only flash rooted roms. I tried flashing the Froyo ROM that was leaked and it didnt work. I dont know what else to do at this point. I have been researching and researching this whole week. I just want my Evo back to stock i dont care which version of if i loose root. I was reading around one of the forums that i should flash a (stock, no) recovery via flash_image or fastboot. But i dont know how to do that. Can some one please help me with a turorial. Or will this even solve my problem? Can some one just help me i am willing to donate.
Install ROM Manager from the market.

Replace the current recovery with RA recovery. Option down toward the buttom.

i get the same error with all of them :/
When you say u have used all 3 RUU's, were you using this technique?
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/19278-how-unroot-return-stock.html
Either way I would do a factory reset and then try this method with the 1.47 one....worked perfect for me.
If you really don't care, just update to the newest 2.2 OTA, that will get you to stock with a new HBOOT and you will lose root. There are ways to "unroot" to a 2.1 ROM using RUUs, but they can get complicated. If you have no reason to root in the future, update to 2.2.
Correct me if I'm wrong, everybody.
i have tried updating to 2.2 but it wont update just gets stuck at the recovery with a yellow exclamation point/caution sign
Ok go to the wiki, use the "simplest root method without a gui" that will get you a recovery and setup that WILL allow you to flash the stock rooted 2.2, so you wull be at stock with full 2.2 froyo. Then forget about all the fancy stuff and only flash through amon ra recovery and presto no more problems. leave all the ruu's out of it, once you have root with nand unlocked you can flash pretty much whatever you want. If you flash an unrooted rom of course you will lose root. good luck
As far as i know you can't get the OTA 2.2 over a rooted 2.1...which brings us full circle back to the original question. What I would do if it were me:
#1: Run Simple root 1.47 to get a fresh root

#2: The re-run this unroot method:

Use the 1.47 RUU...if this don't work then uh????
ok so i need the newest radio... because i got some wifi issues, im on 5.09.05.30_2 and i need 5.14 what is the safest way to do this without brick? im on insertcoin sense HD rom by badnewz
Just get the ZIP and flash it as you would a ROM. No need to wipe and it will reboot a couple of times so don't touch it until it's back into Android
Yes or use the Android Flasher utility. Both the most safest ways to flash a radio.
Is it to be updated at flashing the new Rom or i can update the radio even when i'm using the rom finely?
The radio is not part of the ROM - so you can update it at any point without doing anything to your ROM.
Just flash from recovery like you would anything else.
ok, I see several ways to apply the 4.0.4 update. Which one is the best and which one will make sure I have the stock 4.0.4 update? I understand that I may lose root and CWM, that is fine and and I can redo all of that. I just want to make sure I am on stock and that root will work and CWM as well.
Thanks
When you update you will lose root. I believe there is an app out there along the lines of "root keeper" for keeping root. clockwork on the other hand I'm not sure about that but you may be able to get it back through ROM manager or re-flashing but don't quote me.
Sent from my GNex running gummy v0.7.0
Thru "fastboot flash recovery" flashing temporary cwm in order to flash update file and then SU.zip to keep root
There is a ROM out there that can be flashed over any ROM using CWM. I flashed it today and near as I can tell its stock.
Flash this ROM:

Make sure you're running the new radios too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1481095
I reverted to the 4.0.2 radios (had been running the 4.0.3 radios), then use the link above. Everything, and I mean everything, is better/faster/smoother.
Good luck & have fun.
