Hey guys. My apologies if this has already been asked, but I have a question about rooting/unrooting.
I saw the Guide in the General Info section and wanted to know if I root, is there a way for me to get back to my current configuration instead of going all the way back to the Stock ROM?
Thanks

You obviously don't have to go through the root process, just flashing the ROM.
ty ty so much it helped

hey there guys, i haven't found an answer to my question yet so i thought i would just post my question here.
With the new over the air update for the evo, I've heard that it is a root killer...
now, being somewhat new to rooting, i was wondering if i could re-root my phone easily, (like would unrevoked 3work?) and will i loose all of my apps and data on my phone? I know you do when you flash, and i don't see how this is any different than that but i was j/w. thanks guys i appreciate any help, and sorry for my noobiness.
You can flash the root version of the update located in the dev section. No need to unroot.
thanks man, do you think you could link me?

3rd post. Answers your question and gives links to fully rooted 3.70.651.1 builds that are 100% unaltered.
Hey guys,
im pretty new to custom ROMs and i cant ask this in the Starburst Thread because of the > 10 posts rule.
I currently have an older version of Starburst with Data2SD running perfectly on my Desire. Now theres a new version out and i want to update.
The things i would do now:
1. Nandroid backup everything of course.
2. Flash the new ROM
3. Immediately flash the Data2sd Reinstall zip
4. Profit ??
Will i keep all my apps and their settings with this method ?
Sorry for this low-level question but i couldnt find an answer anywhere to this.
Thank you.
That is correct!
Everything that you have asked is answered in the original post in the starburts thread

The 10 post rule ? Thats only for asking questions on a thread ?
It should not hamper your ability to read the thread ?
Its amazing what you can find out without asking questions ?
First of all thanks Raymond for your answer.
Thanks also to you mark for repeating what raymond said but instead with pointless flaming.
I hate people who cant read as much as the next guy but can you please show me where exactly in the Starburst OP the answer to my question is ? (I also read most of the thread, nothing there too.)
It seems like this knowledge is so basic that it doesnt get mentioned anywhere anymore.
Edit: Maybe I should have made my OP clearer: My only question was if i will keep all my apps and settings when flashing a new ROM version. Dunno why i repeated the installation steps, but my whole reason for this thread was to ask about the apps & settings, which doesnt get answered in the Starburst thread.
if you back up your stuff with something like mybackup you should be ok ? If you do a nand and the back up dont work you can alway use that ?
Best option to try if your feeling lucky is back up then nand then just flash over ? Worst that can happen is you need to restore the nand ?

Thanks for the response but i've already searched the QnA threads(btw sorry for posting in the wrong thread). Nothing matches the information i require.
He meant that questions need to be posted in the Q&A section and not here in the General section.
If you're looking to back up your apps and associated data, you can do it with Titanium Backup.
Regarding your other queries, there are many threads already on unlocking your bootloader, rooting as well as flashing a kernel. [HINT: Try reading a couple of the stickied threads in this very same section].
Unlocking your bootloader is quite simple. Just visit the Sony website. [Link]
I'm sure you can manage the rest on your own.
Good luck!

than you need a nandroid backup.
The only problem is that I am with stock 4.1.B.0.431 and far as i know even the stock .62 cannot be rooted. And the backuping part is the hard thing of all.
The phone doesn't want to root. I've download rootable 4.0.4 but no root options available. I've tried to downgrade to .42 to root, but Flashtool aborted the flash... Help guys, i can't stand that stupid thing to eat my nervs before i've crashed it to the ground.
