If I'm not mistaken, there isn't really an "original" download link. You'd have to go to your phone's manufacturer for a stock ROM customized to their specs or you could always grab a copy of Froyo's source code and compile your own beast.
Someone correct me if I am wrong please....

Oh I get it. Well, I'm no expert by any means but if you're fully rooted, have a recovery flashed and are flashing different ROMs onto your phone you'd want to be sure you're wiping data/cache/dalvik to minimize any potential issues. I've seen a few people with Acore issues using ADW Launcher. Is that what your exact problem is? Reason why I ask is because there are LOTS of different threads with people helping others troubleshoot Acore issues in ADW.... use the search button for more information.
If you're interested in flashing an unrooted Froyo ROM keep in mind you're going to lose root if you go that route and that there is no way to root the OTA HTC update at the moment (which means once you flash to unrooted Froyo you're stuck there until a dev root's it). The easiest way to go back to original, unrooted Froyo for the HTC EVO 4G is to go to Settings > System Update > HTC update.
I hope this helps you.

Well if that's the case then maybe there is something going on with your phone physically. If you're running a stock phone and it's putting out that many FC's I'd be hard-pressed to take it back and ask for an exchange. That's just me though.

Just rooted but went from 2.2 to 2.1

I just did the root, nand, and radio
However I didn't know that I was going back to 2.1
What are the cons of 2.1 vs 2.2 and how long usually before there is an updated rooted 2.2?
Thanks
2.2 is out officially??? Where/how can I/we get it?
It just automatically downloaded when I got my phone yesterday. Now I'm wondering if I should go back and update and wait then re root later or just wait.
Are you sure you had 2.2? Where did you get your phone? What is your hardware version?
Positive I had it. I got it at walmart yesterday. As soon as I activated it downloaded like three updates.
I was using flash etc.

Flash lite?
Flash works with 2.1 also (at least on the evo)
I'm not really sure. I just know it said 2.2 and not 2.1.
also my hardware is 2.2
I wish I would've known I would've backed up before rooting. I didn't see any reason since the phone was new with nothing on it.
I just checked and it said no updates available.
So in order to go back to stock all I have to do is reflash with the stock rom. Just throw it on sd and flash as normal?

Just flash RUU from your computer.
Settings > About > Hardware, your Hardware Version is 2.2, NOT 002 or 003?
no its 002 sorry running on two hours of sleep here.
Ok i'm going to try to go back to stock then upgrade.
at least I know I can root it again. maybe faster next time too.
well I unrooted and got some prl updates but no firmware
here goes
Take the battery out of the for about 5 sec then put the battery back in and go in to recovery and try reflashing the rom that work for me
One of three things happened..
You are either have a nexus one and are in the wrong forum..
Are mistaken that you had 2.2 prior to root..
Or you're just trying to mess with everyone..
2.2 is not out in any way officially on any HTC phone, so you couldn't have had it. And no, you couldn't have been the only person in the country to have accidentally gotten it somehow.

question about (froyo) update

Ok im rooted and have the downloaded update (720p etc)
If the new froyo update comes to phone,,,,
will I be able to ignore, and unroot (if wanted to) go back to plain stock,
then when phone reboots back up will update still be there to install?
or will it maybe dissapear after unroot?
I ask cause I am really interested in the froyo but the rest of the update I
already have from installed update.....
decisions, decisions............
my thinking is that if an ota comes out with froyo, someone will logcat it to get the link and then pull it down, then throw it on megaupload or something, so we could manually update with it, so then you shouldnt have a problem.
Thread moved to General.

Just go to settings, about phone, system software updates (i'm running 2.2 right now, on 2.1 i think it was software version, then you can check for updates inside of that). If it sees theres an available, update, itll give you the option to install. If you hit no, it doesnt go away forever.

[Q] I'm rooted and I still don't have the 2.2 do I have to unroot?

I have a rooted HTC evo I still haven't gotten the update do I have to unroot to be able to download 2.2(froyo). I just want the update what do I have to do?
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A9AI5RM9
Thats the RUU, apply this update and you'll be completely stock 2.2
what do you mean apply I've downloaded this before I can't find the file to download and when I try to open it it says it doesn't have a program to open.
If you are rooted Most Roms will not allow an OTA to come through.
you have options the option listed above will unroot you and install 2.2.
the other option is to go to the dev forum and download a 2.2 custom rom or the rooted 2.2 stock rom. flash those and you are good to go.
I will remind that currently there is no way to root 2.2 so if you choose to go through the RUU and go to stock rom that way you will NOT be able to root at this time. It could also be WEEKS before a root method is found. I dont know why anyone would want to or would suggest doing this unless you plan to take it in to sprint for repair.
How do I apply the first file?

No you do not need to unroot. If you accept that ota update it will take away your root because the rom it puts in isn't rooted. I happened to download and try out froyo 2.2 like 3 days ago to see how it functions. It works very well however the update killed my hotspot completely. I ended up restoring back from Froyo 2.2. I will give a link that will take you to the downloads to do it where the rom comes rooted, and the radio and wimax drivers are there as well. Here it is.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740520 One thing to remember is this is not the absolute final build that is pushed out on the OTA update that they have done today. So my guess is very very soon if not already there will be a posted and rooted version of the final build. I am unsure and I am almost positive nothing is every final, but I don't know if you will be able to re-root your evo if you just accept the update from Sprint. If you no longer want a rooted phone and all you care about is getting the update, then you can or will have gotten the request today from sprint as I did or you can look for the update manually in system updates, from settings at the home page. Hope that helps and take care.

I strongly suggest you do not just get stock 2.2 because you have no idea if you will ever root again. Unless your taking it into sprint it makes no sense. I really do not want to attempt to get you that file because its a massive mistake. The download does work though i already tried it that much i can say. See if someone else will actually tell you what you need to do because i'm not sure i can bring myself to do it sorry. I am slightly unsure how you ended up rooting your phone if you are having trouble with a download that has an executable file as in you click on it and it runs If you however need help downloading or flashing or whatever the other stuff that i linked that i will definately try to assist you with. If you flash a stock rom you can and will get the message to update the system and you can manually look for it too. The roms have that disabled so people can't due to ignorance, apply the update then say, "Oh crap I am not rooted how do I fix it?", which we will see a lot of today.

[Q] Froyo 2.2 On a USCelular based HTC Desire

You probably get these a lot and I'm sorry for reporting if you have. About 4 days I got an HTC Desire and I know it's only Running Android 2.1 (Eclaire). I've already rooted my phone and what not using the UNrevoked method, and right now it's in the process of loading the Cynagen mod (spell check?), It's been installed correctly, it just seems to be taking a while to load (off topic but is that normal), I Was wondering if there was any possible way to load Froyo onto via mod or and upcoming update. Any step in the right direction, Im new to Android but I do want to become affluent with them.
Alright I got it working, but now unfortunately I just don't think this mod is for me. Is there a way to revert back to the cell phones factory OS?
If you can find an official Cellular ROM you can flash it and revert to stock, unfortunately I don't think there is a leaked one.
I guess I could bring it into my provider and see if they can completely erase and reinstall the operating system, I found an Official Froyo Rom, but I'm having trouble installing it. I installed the radio correctly, but the Official Froyo itselfs keeps aborting.
Keeps saying its 'bad' idk maybe its a bad download but I got it off of XDA.
If you go with a modified software to your provider they may very well decide that your warranty is invalid now.
Can you give a link to the rom you say you've found.

This is thelike to the ROM to upgrade phone to Froyo 2.2, at this point i want to revert back to the to the stock OS, being supposebly Froyo 2.2 will be here for it in jan, but idk its been postponed 234 times now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=741775
I cant help but feel like im not installing the radio correctly, its talking about using a rom manager but from what i've read ROM MAnager should do jut fine. Either that or Cyanogen isn't wanting it to go away.
Well i found a thread on there forums...
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/9270-stock-us-cellular-rom-request/ According the the posters its not COMPLETELY stock but its close enough. Hopefully Froyo will come soon (hopefully)
Right on the second one worked I might try to install that one on a later day.

Stock 2.3.4

Looking to put my wifes Inc 2 back to stock. We just got the phone from verizon via replacement for bricking hers during the new software update. As soon as I got it I had it rooted. Now, the camera will not work at all. So before I go back to Verizon I really need to get it back to stock. So I checked the Inc 2 Dev forum and didnt see anything but the ChinaCom update. I need the VZW WWE stock 2.3.4 So if anyone could point in the right direction, thatd be fantastic. Ive also tried flashing 4 separate ROMs and 3rd party camera apps, it just FC's. So Im going to take it back AGAIN and see what theyll do for me.
Thanks!
Try here for the RUU

Scroll to the near end of the thread, I believe this is the latest version he posted in early November:
RUU_Vivo_W_Gingerbread_S_VERIZON_WWE_4.08.605.3_Radio_1.09.01.0722_NV_VZW1.92_release_212888_signed. exe
There really should be more of an ability to reset to factory, literally.
It's nice being able to wipe all user data and stuff but the custom rom still remains.
Sometimes people need to return a phone or need to go back to stock to install an OTA update ya know!
But custom roms are generally superior so whatever.

I Agree with this. There's been plenty of times where I have needed to sell or bring the phone back to the store, but without it being TRULY stock, they wont do anything. Plus alot of folks don't want to buy a rooted or S-Off phone becaues it voids the warranty.
There needs to be a way to completely revert to stock. Like it was out of the box. As easily as possible.
