[Q] 2.2 root question???

Hey All,
This is my first post so be gentle please. I've looked down a few pages and didnt see anybody ask this question. Also did a search and couldn't really find anything. I figured since it was a question I had this was most likely the best place to ask. Anyways, a question about 2.2 root. I've rooted my HTC EVO from 2.1. I've played around with most roms and am currently using CM6. Long story short, would I gain anything from flashing to 2.2 stock HTC and then re-rooting? Does my current configuration keep me up to date with everything android and sprint to make it the most fastest possible download/upload network speed and call clarity?

No point in it. nothing to gain.

Fair enough. Thanks for the input!

There are rooted 2.2 roms. Or I mean wont make you lose root. Also for updates on sprint apps you need to download the sprint apk. I have c6 also. And only use the vvm or visual voicemail. There is a post with the sprint update apk and tried it. Not sure if it works as my vvm isn't the newest one and has not popped up to upgrade. So I took it off and found the updated vvm in a zip. So for sprint updates you wont have unless you have sprint updater. If you get it to work when you find let me and others know in here for future reference.

Was I supposed to do that? WTF?!?!

I updated my EVO from the Sprint update not paying attention and now I'm not rooted anymore. Trying to figure out what happened and how / if I can get rooted again. Think I updated to a 3.29.651.5 build version and it still says I'm on Droid 2.2 any help is appreciated.

Does your phone still work? If so, you should be able to just run Unrevoked 3.21. That would be the easiest option.

Yeah the phone works fine. I just kinda freaked when I realized what I did. Pissed right now cuz I can't wireless tether!

[Q] New to EVO need some knowledge

Hey guys. I know I can always count on XDA to get my info. I just got and EVO a few days ago. I have it fully rooted using unrEVOked method. I had T-mobile before and had the MyTouch 1.2 which I learned inside and out thanks to XDA. This EVO blows that phone away. Even though I just bought this EVO, I got the 003 hardware version and not 004. First off is the only difference between the two the camera? Second what is the difference between 3.30.651.3 and 3.29.651.5? Will the 003 hardware version get the OTA update to 3.30.651.3? If I flashed a 3.30.651.3 ROM to my 3.29.651.5 phone would it cause some major problems or should I wait until the OTA comes to my phone if it does? Why would I get an outdated phone sent to me when there is an updated version available? I know these are probably n00b questions, but we all have to start somewhere. Thanks for the help in advance. I have been reading to find the answer to some of these questions, but the EVO threads are huge and am having a hard time finding the answers I am looking for.

Im running a 3.30.651.5 rom on an 003 evo with no problems but iv heard others have excessive battery drain. Id stick with an older version that is actualy for your hardware though cuz your not missing out on anything, the newest ota was for a camera fix on 004 hardware phones.

Ok thanks cynic. I don't see how the ROM would cause excessive battery drain when the only thing changed was an update for the camera. I guess I could try one of each out and see if I notice anything.

Im sure theirs more to it but thats just the major difference that i know of

I understand. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Also are the cyanogen nightlies based on 3.29 or 3.30.

Glad to help :-D im not sure about cyanogen though. It may not be either if it was built from the ground up. Shouldnt give you problems though, newest is cm6.1

Yeah I thought about cyanogen being an AOSP after I asked the question and figured since it wasn't posted in any thing that should be compatible with both. Thanks again for your time.

cyanogen is based on android source. currently it is android 2.2.1 build FRG83. sprint/htc still currently use 2.2 FRF91 or something.

So it is safe to use CM on any hardware version as long as the kernel works? Also, does anyone want to give me their experience with certain ROM? I am not asking which is best for me, but just want to get an overall on which ones are working best or are the communities favorite for the EVO. I am rooted but still running stock rom. I want to use a custom rom but am still reading & trying to get familiar with this phone & its development.
Oh yeah. One more question. I received an update while rooted. It was a PRL update. Is this normal? I know that probably sounds very n00bish, but I just thought rooted I wouldn't get any OTA's. Will I still get OTA's from Sprint while running stock rom rooted?

Seems to be true.

I run virus roms, he has a sense version and one without sense. Myns warm 2.2 is quite popular as is fresh rom.

Yes you will still get notifications to update, hardware updates are not recomended for rooted users as they may break root, but prl updates are fine
Everyone was a noob once, just glad to pass along the info.

New to EVO~Is 004 camera working with CM7 nightlies?

Hello everyone... Just got my EVO today, its 004 hardware, researched and there was talk of new drivers not released by HTC to make the camera work. My question is simple, and I've searched, but the massive amount of threads here w/ Evo, I couldn't find an answer. Will the camera work with CM7 nightlies and hardware 004? Thanks for your response. ~m00n

Bump...
Can anyone help me out? I know for seasoned Evo users, this is a simple question, but I've searched and can not find a clear answer. Have the camera and wimax issues been resolved for the nightlies? Any help will be greatly appreciated...

Thanks so much for the
reply. How about Wimax? Cheers.

If you go to the CM 7 with WiMAX in my sig, it will work with hw0004. That being said DO NOT flash the extra kernel as it does not work on hw0004.

When I follow the link for the CM7 w/ Wimax in your sig, the listed bugs seem that Wimax isn't stable unless plugged in. Have you found this to be an issue on your end or have you found a way around it?

Its still in alpha stages, so best thing i found is after the phone has been on a long time, i just reboot if 4g doesn't connect. Its random, some times it connects no problem, other times it requires the reboot. Thanks for the thanks.

This rom is actually my daily driver but with the Savaged.Zen kernal. I find no real faults other than when turning off wimax, to get 3G to work, I have to reboot my phone. Not really a big deal for me. Else wise WiMax has been very stable for me. That Kernal, i've been pulling 7 down and 1 up and my camera works just fine. You don't have to use the Kernal they say you have too. Just a heads up.
Oh ment to put that I myself am running a white evo with 0004 HW

2.3 Gingerbread-Evo

I have 2.2 froyo anybody have a clue as to when gingerbread will come to the evo. I mean 2.2 works fine for me I just like to keep things current. That's why i went with Sprint "the now network". Lol but seriously, when @[email protected]

if you want sense, just wait. its around the corner im sure.
cm7 is gb if youre down to switch to AOSP. its fast as hell

LOL....."the now network" more like the late network. I asked the question to a representative he said some time this year. That's the best answer I could get out of him.

The official release date is Q2 of this year (Q2 is quarter two and ranges from april to july.
Couldn't find the link for it, but I know I read it on either Phandroid or Engadget.

Just so everyone knows I've never rooted my phone so I don't know all the jibberish means. Just saying.

This is stuff you can do without a rooted phone. In fact, it's the de facto way of doing it period, rooted or not. Lol, we're talking about Sprint and HTC's over the air (OTA) update to give us Gingerbread without having to root.

Forgive my dumb question, I've just been on XDA reading posts and learning how to customize my phone for a few weeks now. I'm totally new to the idea of rooting my phone and am still trying to figure out how it all works. What is the difference between the 2.3 Gingerbread version from the previous version on the HTC EVO? Also, where is this "thank you" button?? I haven't seen it yet. It's not to the bottom right of anyones posts that I've read yet. Thanks!
Ok! Nevr mind on the Thank you button. I refreshed and they appeared....... ~)

The difference from the stock EVO froyo and stock EVO gingerbread isn't much. It was a half ass update if you ask me. The only good thing was the developers getting more tools to make more stable roms for us root users. If you do decide to root, I would suggest mikg 1.03. Great Rom and it has sense 2.1 and the cool parts of sense 3.0
EDIT: you also lose the ability to access n signal wifi with the ota gingerbread update, but if you are rooted than you can just flash the modified kernel the awesome devs cooked up.

And the thank you button will show up when you hit 10 posts...
