I used the unrevoked 1 to root my phone. Then flashed the clock work recovery from rom manager. Would I be able to upload a custom rom now?
Unrevoked 1 is not full root. I recommend do a full root nand by here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=123714 (132.1 top one and 147.651. bottom one) then flash the custom rom
Ok thanks. Just out of curiosity would it be a good idea to flash the rooted stock rom and have that as a back up? Our just go with it?
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.

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=720565
#2: The re-run this unroot method:

Use the 1.47 RUU...if this don't work then uh????
A couple of days ago I was able to unlock the bootloader on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM Version) and install a custom ROM of Jelly Bean 4.1. Last night I decided to flash an OTA version of 4.1, and being rather new to this, I didn't know that I would loose root to my phone. I have tried several ways to try and reobtain root with no success... When I boot up into recovery mode I get the android lying down with the red explanation mark.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The OTA package probably changed the recovery back to stock as well... You'll have to flash custom recovery again and then restore your nandroid or flash the rooted ROM again.

I try to flash the ClockwordMod Recovery and it says "You must have the ClockworkMod recovery installed before continuing. Install the recovery through ROM manager first"
I did this before I installed the new ROM on my phone but there are no recoveries listed...

You cannot flash CWM with ROM Manager if you do not have root...
You need to plug your device into a computer and use fastboot.exe to flash CWM. I suggest you read up a bit on how to use fastboot. Have you read this sticky?
Thank you! Between the source you provided and a few others I was able to finally get into recovery and reflash to Bigxie ROM! I will be staying far away from OTA versions until I have made myself a more advanced user
I am currently running the Hyperdrive Rom. It has been a while since i flashed it. I seem to remember that I did not root my phone because the rom had root priv. I only installed the custom recovery. I would like to switch over the AOKP rom but I am not sure if I need to root first or if the rom has root. and also, if I do root will I then have to install a recovery again after. would also appreciate any advise on which root method is best. thanks for any help.
Check the change log for the rom and compatibility with your current Android firmware version. Most of the time after you root you'll be asked if you want custom recovery.

Due to some problems I rooted my note 2 gt-n7100 using king root and successfully installed twrp custom recovery 2.8.0.1.
And now I am experiencing some problems due to it. So I need to uninstall or remove and I need my old android recovery to be installed in my device. Please help me as soon as you see this message.
You can download the phone's stock rom from sammobile.com, extract the recovery, and flash it.
If you want to make it simpler, you can re-flash the entire ROM which will return the phone to a stock configuration.
BTW, there is no need to root before installing TWRP. You can install TWRP from Odin and then, if you want root, flash supersu.zip from TWRP.
