Ok now that there is a root method for 2.2 I was wondering. When you back up your ROM using Clockwork is it just a simple press of a button to return it to the aforementioned backup. Also how would I return my phone to factory condition (remove clockwork, reinstall stock ROM.) And one last question, how does the phone remember my programed activation info. Or do I need to reactivate it. Thanks in advance.

1.) Yea, backing up is one press and just wait for backing up and restoring.
2.) I believe there is an unrooted stock Rom you can just flash to restore it all.
3.) It's like Apple jacks... it just does
All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
Thanks, if i reflash that stock android for evo does that overwrite the clockwork recovery and set the phone back to s-on

No it shouldn't and there are stock froyo 2.2 roms on here that has root. Just don't except ota over the air updates from sprint and you should be fine..
Edit. You have to wipe data and delvik and does a factory reset before you install the new rom. The delvik I'm recover is under advance options or something like that. Can't recall and sorry for that..

Sure, but you'll lose root. Just wait until a developer cooks gingerbread into your favorite ROM.

You should always wipe when flashing a new ROM. Just back up all your apps with titanium backup or mybackup pro. Your contacts should be back up'd by Google.
No. well you can use apps like Titanium Backup, that you can use to backup any apps and their data, but other than that, you just need to sign back in to e-mail and gmail and fb,twitter, ect...
Use your Nandroid

If you're fully rooted with recovery, reboot your phone while holding the volume down button and you should be in either the Amon-Ra or Clockworkmod recovery.
From there explore your menus a bit, and you'll find a place to do a Nandroid backup.
Do that - it will literally back up everything - your kernel, your stock ROM, your apps, your data, all to a nandroid image file on your SDCard.
Then you can wipe everything in your recovery and flash whatever you want.
Now you can play with other ROMS, learn to flash alternatives and such, and if you ever need/want to go back to how it was, just go back into recovery and choose a Nandroid restore.
Also if you use clockwork nand you can restore your apps after youve changed the rom. Flash your current rom first, then wipe everything the new rom needs you to. After flashing the new rom to the nandroid and select advanced restore. Select data and your done. Reboot and enjoy.

If your going to back up your rom to flash another one use RA recovery to wipe and backup your phone. Clockworkmod does not do a proper wipe of your phone and will leave remnants of your old rom on your phone.

I havent had any issues and I flash almost once a week. To each its own.

I'm new to this & not sure exactly how to do it .
I rooted my Evo with UnrEVOked 3
& using the stock 2.2 Froyo Rom
I followed the rooting process from a YouTube video & I did back up during the root process .
I'm not sure what's a nandroid & I think I had to go through some part that had clockwork mod but again as I said I'm not sure what it is . ( I'm sill a rookie with this sorry )
What should I do next ? Did I back up the stock Rom properly via UnrEVOked 3 rooting method ?

Google nandroid backup. You'll probably be able to find alot of info on youtube as well
Swyped on my precious Eva
I wiped my phone using calkukin format all and i pressed reboot and it wont turn on it just goes to the white screen with the 3 androids on the bottom every time i tell it to reboot
Format all wipes everything. There is nothing to boot into after that. You need to power off the phone, turn it back on while holding down the volume down key to get into hboot. Then go to recovery, mount the phone to the comp, put a ROM on your sd card, unmount and flash it.
It wipes system and boot as well as data, it's only meant for in between ROMs.
what does that mean that i cant turn on my phone????
Why did u turn it off?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You'll have to reflash or restore your backup if you have one. You completely wiped so, as said, it has nothing to boot into.
You can pull battery and get back to recovery, can you not?

Yes i can but i dont think i made a backup. im sorry im very new to this and I thought that it simply wiped the phone and took it to factory setting I was trying to switch from a ROM
It means you completely wiped your phone.. In other words no rom to boot up.. Do you have a nandroid? if so just restore from there.. Other wise you will have to flash a new rom
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
If you have a ROM to flash on your SD Card, follow my instructions to get to recovery and flash it. If not follow my instructions to get a ROM on there and flash it. FYI, ALWAYS make a nand backup before flashing something, that you way you can always get back on track easily.
Let me know if you need more specific instructions.

Yeah, it's alright, a learning experience. But you'll have to reflash the ROM if you don't have a backup ... you still have the ROM on your card right?
edit: do as stated above
PRO TIP (worth a repeat); always have a backup handy in case something ever goes wrong, be it a user error or bad flash.
ok i flashed a new ROM now it i wanted to get back to factory settings is that possible and how do I do a nandroid backup
What do you mean factory settings? Are you trying to unroot or just run a stock rooted ROM?

That's the stock rooted ROM, but if it were me, I would run Sprint Lovers over that.
Just go back to recovery, flash the format all and then the ROM. But I would do a nand backup first.

Stock rooted, S-OFF
Picked up the phone earlier and went to make a call only to be thrown into a phone process failed loop. Try to make a call, fail.... Let it reset and try, fail.... Restart, try call, fail.
Have done nothing to the phone since last it worked fine with no problem cept a Titanium backup last night. I'm restoring all apps and data now but it's way super slow so thought ask in the mean time.
Would applying the Nov OTA via same process as before restore it to factory?:
http://solo.dc3.com/dinc/
Or would there be a more preferred process to get it back factory? Don't mind losing everything as I have all data and apps backed up several times so can get it back.
What's your ideas on how to get back to stock and keep root? Or maybe stock then rooting again? Ya know, if the backup fails...
Well you should be able to to a factory reset, or use the PB31IMG.zip in hboot to reflash the latest stock rom.

Yeah, I'm back to stock now and just made a test call that worked. Now it's time to root it again and then be very selective what I put on it.
I rooted my SGH-T999 to do the clockwork mod and save some battery while in standby. Now that there's an update, I'd like to install it, but it seems that I can't do so while rooted.
I've read the Unroot guide, but it only mentions unrooting phones that have a custom ROM installed. I only rooted using CWM.
Is there a simple way to unroot my phone without wiping the data? Does wiping data also wipe contacts?
Thanks.

Why don't you just flash this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838101 that's the update, and don't you have your contacts sync with your Google account? If so you won't lose em.

Good question,
Same thing here stock ROM, rooted recovery, can we switch back to stock recovery for update.
JB will be coming to International version of S3 next week and we should have it I would think in ~2 weeks or so. Would rather not wipe with a new ROM.
There has got to be a way to go back to original recovery...
I apologize if this is covered elsewhere, I did not come across the question or answer in my search.
I have a Rogers Note II (GT-N7105/SGH-I317M).
It is running stock touch whiz 4.1.2. I had been running custom roms, but after their various issues, I am going with stock samsung at the moment.
I have TWRP installed as the custom recovery, and I used it to restore my backup I took right after rooting.
Not having any issues, but I am simply wanting to know if I can go into Settings >> Backup and Reset and the perform a factory reset of the phone to erase all apps and data.
I am not trying to unroot the phone or anything like that. This phone is a work phone and I am going to be turning it in for the Note 3 next week. I would like to erase my content before doing so, again, not trying to unroot it (I have the tools such as Triangle away, stock firmware and Odin) just want to do a wipe and reset it for the next person who may use it.
So again, the question. If I factory reset via settings will there be any issues or will it simply go back to a rooted blank rom with no apps data?
Or will I end up with a mess?
Thanks for the help!
Factory reset will only wipe your personal data that you entered nothing will affect system or any modifications on it you will see no mess just a clean phone

So I essentially will have a rooted phone with a romantic that is set back to stock? Which is exactly what I am trying to achieve.
The fact that I have twrp installed makes no difference?
Exactly it will not affect system you will have clean stock rooted with twrp installed
