If in the future the EVO needs to go for service, could I just flash a stock ROM after a Nandroid backup and bring it in to Sprint.
I would even remove the backup and put it on my PC.
Obviously if they looked very hard, I guess they could see the root. But would not returning the phone to a stock ROM, solve most issues with Sprint?
Would I need to flash anything else but the ROM?

I was wondering is it possible for me to backup current rom and restore it if I needed
If yes please give me steps
Also how possible for mento restore manufacture setting and everything like I just purchased
Are you rooted? If so, just use ROM Manager (which uses either ClockworkMod or Amon RA depending on which you choose) to do ROM backups. Same to restore.
Restoring to factory settings is a bit more complicated, but there are tons of threads about it here. Just search and read. You're looking for the stock RUU. Or you can flash the new 2.2 stock OTA from Sprint and it will update you and make it all stock. But you won't be able to root it.
Oh, by the way, if you're NOT rooted and you have the 2.2 update, you can't root it yet, as far as anybody here knows, so you can't do any of this.
Go into Recovery Mode, scroll down to Backup/Restore & choose to perform a nandroid backup.

Yes my phone is rooted and I need to know how can I get old rom like android 2.1 the reason for this is I did rooted but there is issue with android market which some software does not have in there like alingplayer so I was wondering if something is wrong.
Btw if I use simplyroot it has 2 steps which 1. Root, 2. Flash it. Now do I need to flash it or just root it should be fine, could this cause the market not showing all software like slingplayer
Um . . . did you do the 2.2 OTA update?
No I don't 2.2 ota update. Currently showing 2.1 but rooted I know because I can do Internet wifi tether but it seems some application missing from droid marketntherefore I need to try restore to original rom or older so I can see if the software I look for is in the droid market or not
Please give me idea on this
I'd just let your other thread run until you get your answers there, then. Don't run so many parallel threads, you'll get confused. If you want your market fixed, that's something you can do with existing threads and info. If you want to flash a new ROM just to get your market fixed, make sure that's what you need to do.
So, I freaked out when the phone wouldn't read my memory card and did a bunch of things I assume you're not supposed to do. In the menu, I tried wiping what I thought was the card, but ended up being something else on the phone. Now all I get is the HBOOT screen, from which I can't navigate to recovery.
How can I completely unroot my phone from here so I can send it in to Verizon?
look in the android development forum... there is a guide there to get back to 2.1 stock without root or 2.2 stock without root... I followed that before i sent my phone back into verizon
Ok, after reading up on all the posts I can find on Rooting, ROMs, and Kernels I think I’m gonna finally take the plunge. But…I need to know what I have to do to restore my device back to where I am before I rooted. Especially 4G access, I live in a 4g area and enjoy the speed.
If I decide to unroot, what process do I need to follow to be able to restore back to the point before root?
Can the backups made be used to flash back to my starting point?
Or do I flash back to a stock ROM/Kernel and then have to restore the backup?
Will the back up restore also recover my RSA keys if they are lost? (seeing a lot of posts how to back these up, but none on how to restore them)
Basically if my phone is FUBAR I want to know I can recover my phone back to before root and how I do it.
Is there a way to reflash the stock rom to my Sprint Evo 4G without rooting/unlocking the bootloader with s-on? I'm having some issues with random restarts, fc's, etc. and I'd rather not mess with rooting, etc.

Yup. Just run the RUU for the latest stock ROM.
Running an RUU will wipe all of your apps and data, so if you want to save anything be sure to back it up. You can backup apps without root, but you can't backup their data.
If the RUU doesn't fix your problems, take it to a Sprint store and have them look at it. You may be able to get a replacement.
And you're right, it's not good to attempt rooting when the phone is having issues unless you've tried everything else and can't get a replacement.
Good luck!

Sorry guys, I know there is a ton of info out there about this but I am about to sell my Note 3 and I'd like to unroot it and make it completely stock. I've seen stuff to flash the new firmware but I'm not sure if that makes it completely stock. I want whoever buys to be able to get OTA updates and such.
Any help would be appreciated.
I had Superuser on it and I went to full unroot but got stuck in something funky now SU doesn't show up and I fear I'll get myself into something a little more fuzzy if I keep messing with it.
Thanks
Make it completely stock? Easy, download stock ROM and flash.
