wrong forum, post in Q&A
I would like to know this too, despite the forum police.

Then do a little search. There's about 5 threads on how to do it. In this forum and in Q&A.
There is not a specific thread about how to unroot from clockwork. I have read everything from just accepting the update to running all three ruu exe files. I am tired of all of the stupid wrong forum and search posts. More people with power trips than wanting to help....

It was only a few threads down from this one. Secondly, if you think Clockwork is the issue, why not just flash AR Recovery then try to unroot? Before you ask how to flash AR recovery, please do a search... That's how I did it.

Thanks for the reply. I know how to flash AR. I also have the ROM Manager, so I can switch between the two recoveries. I am just concerned that I will be leaving something irreversible on the EVO if I simply run the RUU. Ideally, I would like to completely remove all traces of root, if that is even possible. With Froyo with Sense dropping today, I don't see any reason for keeping root other than wireless tether, which I can live without.

except until early releases of Android 3.0 come out then you will want to re-root. You know you could just wait until a rooted Stock Froyo Rom is out (probably shortly after stock is released).

I was planing on going stock and rooting again so i could overclock and flash a rom sooner or later. So i guess that would be the best way with that link
That thread will give you ek02 kernel and ek02 rom, but not the modem.
Flash the modem separately if you want it.
Alternatively if you want to start from scratch, odin the eg30 factory restore from my signature, then immediately apply the ek02 ota update.

Hope it worked out for you but there is no need to go back to stock unrooted to achieve your goal unless thats what you want to do
sfhub 's methods work awesome
Is there an easy way to go back to 100% stock no matter what modem and everything else you have? This one mentions if you are on a certain version of something you won't be able to flash.

Do you mean stock? As in the way it was when you first bought it?
---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------
Well if you did want it bone stock again but with ROOT then I have a link that takes you to Zedomax's website where he has a download that includes root: http://epic4gtouchroot.com/epic-4g-touch-root/how-to-root-galaxy-s2-epic-4g-touch-newsph-d710/
To do it just follow the instructions and it will remove everything off of the phone and return it to stock W/root. To remove root just download ES file manager from the "Play Store", I hate that name, and then find the superuser.apk and remove it.
He says how to do this on his website. That's actually how I got into flashing and rooting and all this nonsense. ^^b
Make sure you put you phone into download mode before you connect your phone and also make sure you have KIES with the drivers installed on your computer.
I flashed a ics ROM and did not like it so I restored a android backup of the blazer 4.0 ROM.
As much as I am confused by the OP, anyone else think it's wierd that someone would link to some other site for getting back to stock on XDA? What with all the resources available right here?

Hate to say it Paden, but your posts have not been very clear.
When posting here, it's very important to be very detailed about what rom you're on, what you flashed, in what order, and any symptoms or problems you are having.
If I've got it correctly...
You flashed some ICS rom, didn't like it, then flashed back to Blazer's?
And things are working?
You didn't do a complete stock restore first?
What recovery was built into the ICS rom?
What kind of wiping did you do before flashing?
And why are you looking for another ics ROM to flash to?...

How do you do that
I was going to post a thread asking a similar question. I've been running blazer for a while, and eventually I downloaded the Goodness and ran with it for a week. It was nice and all but for the moment I still prefer GB...however, my nandroid backup didn't work, it told me I had an MD5 mistmatch. So I just went into the ICS recovery and reflashed Blazer no problem. It's been perfect since. Afterwards I was reading the thread on how to not brick your phone, and it said to do exactly the opposite of that. Does that make me the luckiest man in the world? or am I missing something. Would it be okay to try it again?

It's all luck, the current ICS recovery is very iffy on flashing and even wiping data is bricking some devices, if you want to continue using your phone I suggest making a nandroid backup before you flash ICS then flash ICS, and if you wish to go back to GB then ODIN to EL29 and install clockwork mod and restore nandroid, or it won't be long before you have some fancy paperweight.
MultiLockOn said:

Make sure u do a nandroid back up using the gb recovery before u try these steps...... Simple lets saY u are on blazers 4.0 rom n u have a zip of a ics rom put it on your sdcard go into recovery n do a full wipe i use calkins full wipe then i flash the ics rom keep in mind that after you flash the ics rom you will lose your gb recovery n you will have a ics recovery n if you don't like the ics rom u can go to the ics recovery n restore ur nandroid backup make sure to do a full wipe before restoring your backup n when you finish your restore you will have your gb rom n ur gb recovery... Ive done this like a million times n never had a problem BUT DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK... ONE MORE THING I NEVER FLASH ANY ROM USING A ICS RECOVERY
Click to expand...

As long a your just restoring a backup from ics recovery you're fine, it may be a problem when flashing roms from it that results to bricking. So if i read right from your beginning post all you did was just restore so you're fine.
I searched through the forums here and didn't find anything helpful. Probably because it has been a long time since 2.3 came out.
I have a stock Froyo Evo 4G (rooted). I would like to move up to 2.3.x
I find many sites online with instructions on doing it, and downloads, but I don't trust any of them. I only really trust what I read here at XDA.
That being said, can someone point me to instructions to do the update?
Also...what will I lose from the phone?
How do I re-root afterward?
When I use the phone to look for the system update it finds nothing, so I need a link to download the file(s) necessary.
Thanks in advance, I know I'm way behind the curve but my job just started using Office 365 with Lync, and it doesn't support 2.2.

Do NOT take an OTA update if you are rooted. Every single guide for rooting tells you this.
That being said, if you want to stay stock, fine the stock rooted GB rom in the stickies in the Dev section. Make a nandroid backup in recovery, then wipe everything, then flash. You will not lose root as long as you flash a rooted rom.

your don't need to unroot or anything. Backup whatever stuff you wanna keep with Ti Backup or mybackup root. Wipe caches and data and flash ROM.
I think you may wanna update radios, too. Update to at least the 11.19 radio. All radios are available in Calkulins thread in dev section. I would say update radio first, but maybe someone else can chime in on if that really matters.
But, you don't need to unroot, reroot, blah blah blah. Just flash updated ROM. When updating radio, do NOT interrupt the flash. It's about the only thing that can truly brick your phone.

Also, the thread I linked may be the slightly modified stock ROM. If so , brad has another thread in the dev section that is for absolutely stock rooted GB ROM.
from my 2yr old ICS Evo
To save your text messages you can find SMS backup/restore in the market. Some use myBackup root for this, but I'm not familiar with it and can't advise.
from my 2yr old ICS Evo
Bro here's the best advice I can give you I'm gonna give you two roms that I stand by as the most stable
First of all if you still want sense on the evo and want 2.3 download mikg rom v3 go to themikmik.com and go to the evo section and there will be a lthread that says update 3.11 its in v3.xx forum. There will be a download link and download the one that's not the update version after that follow normal flashing rom procedure.
Now if you want pure gingerbread then I would go to cyanogenmod.com and go to evo and go to stable release and click on the newest one download and flash there are tons of helpful forums on flashing roms if anything reply and ill walk you through... Enjoy bro

The link will show you three different ways to upgrade. Short answer is yes you can upgrade through cwm and keep root and cwm recovery. Read the first two posts in the link over and over until you know exactly what you are doing.
