So i uninstalled CM6, and installed the stock 1.47. RUU I do not have root access now because i want to install the stock 2.2 Froyo. Is it okay that i still have AR as my recovery installed for my recovery? Also, if i was to nandroid to restore CM6 would it go back to being rooted?

If you flash the 2.2 that just came out, you're in no mans land since you'll be flashing a unrooted froyo.
In other words, you will lose root which also means that you not be able to nandroid back..

Having AR as your recovery image should be "okay" although it may get overwritten by the update, or at least locked out by a new HBOOT. If that happens, you wouldn't be able to access your nandroid backup anyway.
So, broken record time: Don't update if you don't want to lose root. Wait for a rooted ROM or a proven root method to be released.
I don't mind that. I'll wait for a root. Will it get rid of AR recovery as well. I installed stock Rom as said. Just want to make sure the recovery and everything else will be gone.

If you flash the RUU then it will bring "everything" back to stock.

If you want to keep your apps download and run titanium backup. Do a full wipe and clear cache. Install your Rom and afterwards reload titanium backup and install your missing apps. I am running virus sense 4.2 and it runs great. You Shouldnt have any trouble.
Edit...
I do not use Rom manager because I prefer psfmod recovery.
Are you fully rooted with s off on the boot loader?
Before flashing any Rom make a nanroid just incase something goes wrong

I am considering flashing to virus Rom. I have a few questions first though.
I rooted with unrevoked, will I be fine?
When I flash will my apps be there if I saved them to the SD card?
Is Rom manager good to use?
Is there anything else I should know before I root.
Thanks in advance

So you are or are not rooted first you said you rooted with unrevoked then at last you ask if there is anything else you need to know before root. Moving on if you are rooted go to the market and download titanium backup use the batch option to save all your apps then after you flash new room use batch to restore all apps I'd you are not rooted you will lose your apps there are apps in the market like app monster that let you back up apps but you will lose your link to the market. Unrevoked will be fine that's whati used as long as its compatible with your phone if already rooted your good. Room manager is good if you use clockwork recovery. Its only compatible with clockwork. You should look up his to back up rsa keys very important if you want 4g. Always backup your phone before you do ANY Mods this will save you allot of heart ach. And last try not to offer money this can be bad In the end but up to you and I don't want any just want to help

As long as you do not flash a the wimax radio you should never worry about this. But you should back it up just incase.

Hey guys hope someone can help me out here. I have been flashing different roms to try them out and am currently running cm7. I have always kept a nandroid backup of my stock sense rom in case anything went wrong or if I had to take the phone back to sprint. However I have somehow managed to erase my back up and want to know where to go to download a stock evo rom. Apologies if this is a stupid question but I'm still in the process of learning.

Right on for this hint. Do you know if I will be able to receive ota updates from sprint with this rom, like when gingerbread is updated to evo.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You will not get OTA updates, but can reasonably expect rooted 2.3 Sense ROMs here on XDA within a couple hours of the official release. If you do get an OTA update notification in Sprint Lovers it will get rid off root if you upgrade. The phone will still be S-off so it should be easy to go back.
This is as close to stock as you can get while maintaining root privileges. This is a rooted stock rom that has NOT been deodexed.

I recently lost my Wimax keys and I was thinking if I flashed back to a froyo Rom and went in and took the ota update to break root and turn it in saying that since the update my 4g hasn't been working and demand a replacement phone with 2.2 on because I hated 2.3 and it was glitchy. Any input on if that would work?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Lol it actually seems like a good plan bro but don't they have a way to find out if you've rooted ur phone. Try it but make sure to unroot completely and in bootloader make sure to flash it to s-off.

To unroot, you simply, download and flash the unrevoked s-on zip in recovery, you'll be s-on and can't flash, ect, so do that first, then flash a 3.70 RUU [PC36IMG to make it easy]. Though I think the sprint rep will tell you they can't control what firmware is on the evo, so you could get stuck with a 2.3.
I have followed the rooting method 2 times now and I keep having the same problem. My phones lock screen comes on about every 15 seconds and stays on for about 10 seconds. This completely kills the battery in about 3 hours with no use of the phone at all. I've rooted and in-rooted twice now. No problems at all when I'm stock. I don't do anything to the kernel, either. I just use what the ROM comes with. I've tried CWM7 and two Sense ROM'S. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

hmmmm very odd. did you do full wipes when installing new roms? i've had quite a few rooted phones and have never seen this issue personally. maybe your power button is schitzing out.
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
Both times that I've rooted, this happens. It doesn't do this unrooted, though. I used the guide on YouTube linked from droidforum.net and I got the links for the zips from there, too.

very odd I'm stumped. did you root with revolutionary?
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
that's the method i used. the first time i did it was on 2.3.3 and the second time was on 2.2.1. i was hoping that that would make some kind of difference, but it didn't.
tell you what. try rerooting then after revolutionary kicks you into recovery just flash a custom ROM instead of the root zip. the custom ROM will be rooted anyway. wipe fist of course just to be safe

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnlnWW8tsvo&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
do you think it could have anything to do with the links? maybe they're not current?
so to be clear. flash back to stock unrooted gingerbread. then run revolutionary and let it install a recovery. make sure a custom ROM is on your sd. wipe then flash ROM zip. don't install the root zip. don't know if that will do it just brainstorming
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
that's how I rooted. no sense flashing the root zip if your just gonna flash a custom rooted ROM anyway

what do you mean my "root zip"?
i run Revolutionary, then install CWM and SU. i even had this problem when i was only rooted, no custom ROM's, kernals, or root apps installed.
that's what I mean don't install su. skip that and just flash a custom ROM. cuz the ROM you flash will be rooted anyway. i've had trouble with an su zip on another phone
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
ok, got it. should i just skip that step or would i just finish the process there. sorry, i don't remember if that's the last step.
by not installing SU, does that change anything? will everything still work?
no every thing will still work its how I got my phone romd and rooted. ok you want to go to stock 2.3.3 not 2.2.1. if u can't find the ruu for the gb stock let me know. then run revolutionary and let it install a recovery. boot into recovery and wipe everything then install a custom ROM of your choice. if you flash to gb stock from hboot make sure you delete it from your sd before running revolutionary or you won't be able to enter recovery without adb
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
ok, i think i got it. i'll let my phone upgrade to 2.3.3 and then start. should i put the .zip for the ROM i want on my SD before i start so that i can install it in recovery?
yes. if you have cwm recovery DO NOT TAKE AN OTA UPDATE USE AN RUU

My understanding is that recovery stays in a separate partition and whatever you do to it does not affect getting an OTA, is that right?
Also, what if my phone is rooted using the Zerg exploit or whatever method, can I still get an OTA?
So basically I think my questions is, what ultimately decides whether my phone can get an OTA, or not?
if you are on stock ROM, you will get it just fine
but you might loose ROOT after it finish the upgrade
if you are on Custom ROM, you wont get OTA
You can get the ota even on a custom ROM. As long as you have the stock recovery.

How would you have a custom ROM with stock recovery? I've never rooted a Samsung phone since this is my first and I'm waiting to root it, so unless Samsung is different I don't see how.

I'm sure within a couple days there will be a custom rom with the new features. that's an assumption but its always been like that on other phones I have had. Hopefully that's the case with this phone also.
I have stock rooted ROM with CWM recovery, is that okay? Or do I have to have a stock recovery?

you will get the notification for the ota, your phone will download it but when it boots into recovery to flash it and its not the stock recovery, it will just give an error and you will probably have to pull the battery to reboot. i did this on the nexus s. if i remember right i never got the ota notififcation again either after it failed.
I know there are methods out there that can flash the entire phone back to stock (kernel, ROM, recovery) but that involves wiping everything. Is there a way to flash back the stock recovery only since I'm already on stock ROM and kernel?
Big thanks...
I wonder where it puts the update after it downloads it. Would be nice to grab it and maybe install without reverting to stock...

It goes to data/cache if I remember right. And there will be rooted roms posted within hours of the ota so its really nothing to even worry about

you can keep your phone more up to date by flashing roms as opposed to waiting for an OTA. galaxy s4g is still stuck on froyo. Epic 4g just got gingerbread.
