ROM question - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a Rom that is stock but does not have the sprint add-ons

Just use root explorer to remove the bloatware

Original ROM
I want to return my EVO 4G (Going with the EPIC) and wanted to return it to the original Sprint ROM how can I Do that?
Also tried running RUU_Supersonic_1.32.651.1_Radio_1.39.00.04.26_release_171253
but it failed any suggestions?
Even changing the splash screen back to default would do it.
THanks

Check the evo wiki, there is a rom section that includes stock and also rooted stock roms.

Lost my nandroid backup

Hey guys hope someone can help me out here. I have been flashing different roms to try them out and am currently running cm7. I have always kept a nandroid backup of my stock sense rom in case anything went wrong or if I had to take the phone back to sprint. However I have somehow managed to erase my back up and want to know where to go to download a stock evo rom. Apologies if this is a stupid question but I'm still in the process of learning.

if you mean stock as in right out of the box from sprint then check out this:

idk. i used that and then rooted again to start over. it says it wipes ur sd card but it doesn't wipe like wallpapers n zips u put on it.
Check out the sprint lovers rom in the dev section. Im mobile so I can't link it.

Right on for this hint. Do you know if I will be able to receive ota updates from sprint with this rom, like when gingerbread is updated to evo.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You will not get OTA updates, but can reasonably expect rooted 2.3 Sense ROMs here on XDA within a couple hours of the official release. If you do get an OTA update notification in Sprint Lovers it will get rid off root if you upgrade. The phone will still be S-off so it should be easy to go back.
This is as close to stock as you can get while maintaining root privileges. This is a rooted stock rom that has NOT been deodexed.

I deleted my stock sprint apps..

Hey I deleted my stock apps and it prevented me from getting the 2.2 update. Is there anyway I can get that update without having to flash it back to stock rom?

Depends how you deleted it.

What did you use to delete them? SDX, Root Explorer? Which apps did you delete?
just use nubecoders Remove and Restore stock apps zip in the Dev section, its a simple flash to restore almost any bloatware... it doesnt include some things.. but all commonly removed apps are there and it takes a few seconds

Why doesn't my phone like custom ROM'S?

I have followed the rooting method 2 times now and I keep having the same problem. My phones lock screen comes on about every 15 seconds and stays on for about 10 seconds. This completely kills the battery in about 3 hours with no use of the phone at all. I've rooted and in-rooted twice now. No problems at all when I'm stock. I don't do anything to the kernel, either. I just use what the ROM comes with. I've tried CWM7 and two Sense ROM'S. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

hmmmm very odd. did you do full wipes when installing new roms? i've had quite a few rooted phones and have never seen this issue personally. maybe your power button is schitzing out.
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
Both times that I've rooted, this happens. It doesn't do this unrooted, though. I used the guide on YouTube linked from droidforum.net and I got the links for the zips from there, too.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
I did full wipes both times from the recovery menu.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
very odd I'm stumped. did you root with revolutionary?
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
that's the method i used. the first time i did it was on 2.3.3 and the second time was on 2.2.1. i was hoping that that would make some kind of difference, but it didn't.
tell you what. try rerooting then after revolutionary kicks you into recovery just flash a custom ROM instead of the root zip. the custom ROM will be rooted anyway. wipe fist of course just to be safe
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
this is the walk through that i used and the links.

do you think it could have anything to do with the links? maybe they're not current?
so to be clear. flash back to stock unrooted gingerbread. then run revolutionary and let it install a recovery. make sure a custom ROM is on your sd. wipe then flash ROM zip. don't install the root zip. don't know if that will do it just brainstorming
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
that's how I rooted. no sense flashing the root zip if your just gonna flash a custom rooted ROM anyway

what do you mean my "root zip"?
i run Revolutionary, then install CWM and SU. i even had this problem when i was only rooted, no custom ROM's, kernals, or root apps installed.
that's what I mean don't install su. skip that and just flash a custom ROM. cuz the ROM you flash will be rooted anyway. i've had trouble with an su zip on another phone
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
ok, got it. should i just skip that step or would i just finish the process there. sorry, i don't remember if that's the last step.
by not installing SU, does that change anything? will everything still work?
no every thing will still work its how I got my phone romd and rooted. ok you want to go to stock 2.3.3 not 2.2.1. if u can't find the ruu for the gb stock let me know. then run revolutionary and let it install a recovery. boot into recovery and wipe everything then install a custom ROM of your choice. if you flash to gb stock from hboot make sure you delete it from your sd before running revolutionary or you won't be able to enter recovery without adb
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
ok, i think i got it. i'll let my phone upgrade to 2.3.3 and then start. should i put the .zip for the ROM i want on my SD before i start so that i can install it in recovery?
yes. if you have cwm recovery DO NOT TAKE AN OTA UPDATE USE AN RUU
Sent from my Incredible 2 3D using XDA Premium App
I am currently uprooted. I'm on 2.2.1. Are you saying don't take the OTA update?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
if your not rooted and have the stock recovery installed its ok

Uninstall ClockworkMod from my phone

I'm a noob and recently bought a Galaxy SII and it came installed with CWM and now my phone won't update.
What would be the easiest way to uninstall CWM from my phone?
phone is rooted so u wont get an update..and what update are u talking about
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
2.3.6
is there anyway to uninstall CWM?
unroot the phone its the only way to recieve any type of updates
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I'm a noob can you link me to a guide?
Flash the stock recovery with Odin. The thread is in the dev section.
Thanks mucho
if you want the update why don't you just install a stock 2.3.6 rom from the dev section?
did it work?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Dont use the ones in the dev, deodex suck unless for theme but i find it to use more memory somehow.. Which isnt suppose to. Flash mikeyinid stock odex from the dev section.. Same as update from tmobile but i think he debloated it.. Removed dumb apps from tmobile

Nope, ended up bricking my phone, now it won't even turn on
Howd you do that
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
Tried flashing back to stock and it failed. Somehow bricked my phone.
If it connects to download mode, keep trying to flash stock 2.3.5 or 2.3.6. I have both if you need any.. Pm me on google if so, same user name

[Root Issues] SU No Prompting for Permissions

Hey guys I have touch recovery installed and I installed the root.zip packge in recovery but I can't get su persmissions to work.
I have tried adb shell su and I never get prompted. Also I installed RootExplorer to see if maybe su would pop up but nothing.
Any ideas as to why this is not working for me.
I don't want to install a custom ROM. I am trying to debloat my stock rom and create my own rom based off stock. I know there might be stock unbloated roms out there but I want to do that myself. Just a little project.
Thanks
Might try a different root.zip see if it gives root access. Or go to super user app and update binaries.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I did both. When the binary tries to update I get a failed when trying to get root access.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Maybe try cwm non touch...
I'm assuming you're on the ics update... I've seen others have had similar issues. I know you don't want to flash a custom rom. Here is a link to Mr. X's stock rooted roms, bloat included. All he has done is remove ciq. Sorry I can't help more man.
