Why would you need to root again if you're already rooted? Unless I misunderstood you..

i would suggest using a rooted froyo rom from SteelH, look in the development forum, it is basically a stock froyo with root.

You're looking at it wrong. If you're already rooted, you gain absolutely nothing by going stock and rerooting. Any "updates" that are in stock are already available to rooted devices.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
You can always update, I am suggesting when you do an update that you use a ROM that a developer has tweaked and already has root access. Just less work on your end, being a user.

Hi,
Today I bought my wife a Sprint Evo with 2.2 & 651.6. My evo is rooted already. I used a one click root application.
Can hers be rooted?
Thanks

yeah i was gonna say .6 has been rooted a while ago
I can confirm the unrevoked method on the ve
rsion you are asking about. As it is the same one I am using, and now rooted with.

Is that fully rooted & you can install Anon Recovery? I keep seeing -s or +S, & I am not sure what thats about.
Is the unrevoked method full nand unlock as well?
yeah its full nand unlock
Thanks guys! I am all set & running Fresh (well she is)!
So, i just realized i didn't have the 3.7 ota update from a bit ago, what i did was i used unrevoked forever and 3.1 to root my phone, did the update, all was good. This was updating to the 2.2 update a bit back. If i update to 3.7, will i lose my root, or is it the same as the last update where i'm good to go?
Why don't you just use your favorite roms update?

Easier to flash the rom update, because if you flash the OTA, you can lose your root.

Well, you just answered my question, i was simply curious if i would lose my root or not, and off your post i'm assuming i would.
yep you would lose it. Haha
Ive been looking for 2 hours now and can not find a RUU for the new Gingerbread Rom. Im giving my son my Evo Cuz IM getting the 3D so I just want to give him a STOCK Evo, I already unrooted to Froyo but its saying I dont have an update! I hve NO CLUE why but does anyone know where I can find a stock RUU (not zip) of the new gingerbread ROM?
Should have stayed rooted and downloaded the rooted "stock" gingerbread Rom. It is a stock Rom for rooted users

Root again, flash stock rooted 2.3.3. I don't see why you wouldn't want your son to have it rooted for things like wireless tether.

There is no RUU available yet for the GB 4.22 build. I'm not sure what's preventing you from updating to the OTA, but thought u could get it from htc.com or sprint.com.

I talked with customer service and they said they are having problems with the gingerbread update. I unrooted mine so I could return my evo to sprint. And get the evo 3d.

Please don't unroot your phone. When a rooted Evo comes in it gives me a reason to tell my boss I'll be busy for the next 3hrs unrooting it.

I was just curious. I kind of don't want to go back to stock ROM because its backed up on my computer. Also, it wad becoming unstable so now I'm on Virtuous. I rather get a ROM thats based off that release because of the TV out cable. I hope there will be
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
Yes. There will be at least one rooted stock ROM. However, most other ROMs will be customized ROMs that utilize the new Gingerbread kernel.
I'd like to point out the kernel source may be for a kernel that only works with the OTA. That's how its been with the Tbolt. Not so bad because it would spawn a whole new generation of much improved gingerbread ROMs.
Thats all I wanted to know seeing how they got gingerbread roms from devices like the HTC Sensation, I don't think it'll take that long to get a custom ROM cooked up haha! As long as there will be roms based off it, I'll be happy hopefully they'll have custom themes

Nope, absolutely no developer will create a custom rom from this new official rom that's coming out. They haven't done it in the past, why would they start making new custom roms based off of official OTA roms?
Being on a custom rom rooted will we be able to update to stock?
Or will something go dearly wrong if we try?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
okay, so, for us rom users who don't want to go back to stock.
do we have to flash stock back onto the device?, to get the update? or just wait for a custom kernal
and how does one flash the radio without bricking the phone?

devs play with the source code kernal and work from there.
You will lose root if you update to stock.

Someone will release a rooted version of the ROM which you can use, or just wait for your developer to update their ROM.
No. That update won't be supported. Everyones gonna stop devving the day before its released. Just kidding lol.

I'll wait for a rooted version to release. But if custom roms like Virtuous, Skyraider, or Incrom update, I'll do that

I'm personally going to wait until there is a root method. I'll unroot my stock froyo. update. root the update, adb shell and remove the vzw crap and install whatever new kernel has been created from the source code. best way to ensure everything works 100%

skyraider won't see the update, i doubt it, the dev of that rom already moved on to the t-bolt.

if you can root the update, no one knows for sure if unrevoked or any method will work, let us know if it does or not!
I'm on 2.2 rooted using unrevoked3 - such a easy process. From what I have been reading, it's not as simple in reverse. I really want 2.3 for the VoIP capabilities and improved keyboard but I'm afraid to brick my phone unrooting it. Also, I live off of WiFi tether for root users and I don't know how long I could wait for another unrevoked or similar to give root on 2.3 so that I can reinstall the app.
So I'm assuming I should just wait for a custom ROM like most everyone else. Is it hard to flash a custom ROM? More or less difficult than the painless 1-click root?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Probably not quite as painless as unrevoked, but certainly not difficult either. Rom manager actually makes rom flashing pretty simple but seems buggy for a lot of people. I'd wait for the rooted OTA to be posted and flash that. Might want to do a little reading on flashing roms and root in general, there are some good stickies in the incredible forums.
Can I use the root method even on a custom sense ROM?

I'm not wanting to insult you, honestly, but that question reflects a deep lack of knowledge. But, you're at XDA and that's the best place to fix that!
I'll answer your question....
Nobody could probably tell you because nobody has ever tried rooting a custom ROM before.
That said, do some searching and some reading and get familiar with what this community is all about. You will be amazed.
So I flashed the 2.3.4 GB Rom posted by JoelZ yesterday. Some stuff looks diferent but not a whole lot. Was I wrong to expect the newer style keyboard, lockscreen and notification bar? Nevertheless, it boots wicked quick and feels faster.

Greetings, I have this dilemma. My friend has the Epic 4g which was running froyo 2.2.1 I believe. It also had one click root 2.5 installed but still running on the stock firmware. She asked me to unroot it so she could update to froyo 2.3.5.
She backed up all her information using titanium backup. After updating to 2.3.5 she attempted to restore all of her data but titanium backup said it needed to be rooted in order to restorethe data. I attempted to install the latest one click root but I keep getting this message about adb not working and to try again. I apologize I do not have the device in front of me to tell you exactly what was said. I will attempt to install it later on today. I just seeking advice on any other methods to install one click root?
I'm not for sure the one click root works with 2.3.5 to be honest with u but search the forum for the newest clockworkmod. Should be 5 something and its legit for it... anyone else to chime in and correct me go for it

One click roots do not work on Gingerbread. It would have been easier to flash a GB prerooted ROM while still on Froyo like this one:

Now that she did the OTA you will need to follow this:

Well it looks like my phone is g2g. I updated cwm, the modem, and applied that GPS fix. All the bugs I had with froyo appear to be gone and my phone is working like I think it should have when I first bought it. But I guess that's what you get for going with bleeding edge hardware. Now Ill just what for that cyanogenmod to leave the alpha stages and research some of the other roms. (Or pretend that ICS comes out for the epic haha).
I wonder if sprint will release another update to fix the GPS and any other bugs that are floating around...

No, because the average Epic user on the street thinks their phone works great. I know several. Only us extreme users notice the bugs.
