Rooting from FROYO

Hello all,
First, I would like to thank everyone for all that they have done on this forum.
I currently Run DamageControl 3.5 and and stock Eclair with Root as well. I love them both.
However, my friend just got an Evo and he did the OTA update to FROYO right away. The only problem is, I am not sure how to root him, or where to send him. I have looked around and can not really find any information. My assumption is that getting him back to eclair is the fastest way. I am not sure.
Any thoughts?

It's not possible .. yet.
Please read the Q&A section, there's a sticky.

no and read the sticky in q&a

Thanks to both of you!

You can downgrade, using one of the previous builds.. try a search, I used simple root for one of my phones, then upgraded to 2.2 froyo with netarchy's newest build.

Huh? I don't think that's correct information

from the very useful information i have ben reading on this forums, once u got froyo, you are stuck, theres no going back to previous versions or rooting untill further notice. i may be incorrect, but thats my understanding.

Once you install OTA Froyo, YOU ARE STUCK WITHOUT ROOT for now. Sit back wand wait, there is currently no way to root it.
Also, this belongs in Q&A forum, not dev.

BOUNTY - start at 10$$$ froyo root
any one else?

Make it two thousand and i'm in. I have tried forty different combos from trying to change the some codes without breaking the signature to going old school running loop.bat then trying to push the update.zip or Image right after it has verified the signature( This method is dangerous but Dev's know what i am talking about). My head just popped.

[Q] How do I revert to original ROM?

After 5 days (seriously) attempting to root my phone I think I finaly managed (I think) and I also installed the CyanogenMod 6.0 ROM which I REALLY don't like it. I actually like the original ROM minus the T-Mobile crap that comes along with it (locked items etc).
Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to remove the CyanogenMod ROM and get back on the original ROM? Is there a ROM that just gets rid of the locked items?
I am a noob and a step by step for idiots would be greatly appreciated

To revert to stock you need to get ESPRIMG.zip and put it in the root of your sdcard. Boot into the bootloader and it will automatically install stock.
Out of curiosity why did you flash CM6 after rooting, you could've stayed stock with root instead.

YAY someone replied!!! (Sorry the excitement but I have been posting for days on different forums and no response )
I think I have the ESPRIMG.zip already on there (it's the file that transfers when doing the initial root right?). Now what exactly do you mean by "put it in the root of your sdcard?" Like on its on and not in a folder?
To answer your question, i followed the instructions on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754669 and since it said to add a ROM and the link provided had several links I just looked for one. The CM6 seemed to have good reviews and I just went along with it.
I am a complete noob to flashing/rooting/hacking/etc... phones and thought it was actually needed.
Once I am in bootloader, I do nothing and let the phone act or do I have to select certain options?

Not true, although that is a way, but generally the espr.img file floating around is the engineering build, not stock. If you want the stock ROM with root simply install CR_MOD. It has the ota update applied as well as root maintained. You will also need to remove the espr.img file as it is only needed once.
One other thing, someone is going to do this, so I'll put it nicely.
This is the Development section, not Q&A. This doesn't really have anything to do with development of ROMs or apps, simply how to flash another ROM. There are many guides on how to flash a different ROM, and using the search feature (which you should have done) would have pointed you to CR_MOD which is a stock ROM. If you don't like some of the apps simply remove them from the zip file.

db, I actually did look and read a few http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705345 but they don't say if its for the slide or is it the 2.1 ... does that make sense?
Sorry if I am in the wrong forum, I was trying to be careful to post in the proper one but alas I was wrong a second time....
I just need to be pointed in the right direction and get a step by step guide for noobs in order not to screw my phone.
Would it be possible to transfer this post to the correct forum?
I appologize for the inconvenience.

A moderator can move the thread. There is a guide in this section on how to flash a rom, this section also has the CR_MOD thread where you can download the ROM.

Yes, it will. CR MOD is based off of Stock Espresso. It is a 2.1 ROM with the Espresso Sense, etc. It just has bloatware removed.

Just go to the rom bible or search for CR_MOD 1.35 OTA FULL and it should come up man. If you are patient ill post the link to the thread later and how to flash it.
On a side note... Whats up the questions threads in the development section lately??

For me, the word development = ROM sooooo I just put one and one together but I was wrong and this should have gone to the Q&A... sorry once again.
A link would be great. My eyes are seriously tired of reading and readin and reading for the past 5 days =/

Development = development. As in the developing of roms. Not asking questions about said roms. That's for the QUESTION & answer forum.

Dude seriously I found it in two seconds last night. Do yourself a favor and search the forum for it, or wait until etu posts a link.

I really wish people would stop their banterings about being in the wrong forum. The latest sticky on rules in the dev forum states to use the Report button. All you have to do is click that button and a mod will move it faster than 10+ replies as to why it shouldn't be in this forum. Yeah it's frustrating, but getting it moved is only a click away.
To the OP: Use the ROM Bible to find good info on which ROM is which. The sections are named in a retarded fashion, but the section labeled "Before Espresso, Roms Made Sense!" will probably be the ones you want (Sense is the name of the UI that is from HTC and was the stock look of the software).

At the very top of this page there is a search option right? I copy pasted " CR_MOD 1.35 OTA FULL" and all I got were 9 results none of which where the actual link to it.
Anyhoo...

[Q] Current Version

Hey guys!! I've been bad at following the forums for a few months and I'm not sure if I need to update before trying some of these newer ROMS like Synergy or CM7.
Andriod Version 2.2
Kernal 2.6.32.17
Am I outdated or am I ok to flash a new ROM??
Thanks for the help!

I think you meant to post this in the Q&A subforum. Please PM the forum mod and ask that your thread be moved.
Besides that, you haven't provided nearly enough information for anyone to actually answer your question. You haven't even mentioned if you're rooted, S-OFF, or anything. The ROMs here will upgrade those things you mentioned, so your current versions are really irrelevant.

watch the vid I link to in my sig....it'll answer some questions

No I actually meant to post it in the development thread because the question pertained to development. My bad I guess.
Last time I flashed a ROM I had to run the autoroot program to get to 2.2 before I flashed the ROM. I assumed I had to be rooted to flash any of these ROMS so I thought that info was obvious, but I guess not?? So yes I am rooted, and S-off.

"watch the vid I link to in my sig....it'll answer some questions"
Not helpful, but it made me LOL!

regardless if it pertains to development or not....any thread that is a question should be posted in the Q&A section. you should only be making a new thread in Development if its a new ROM, MOD, FIX, etc.

Oops, must have missed that rule......
I did however mark the post as a question and when I was typing the post I marked the box that said "this is a question" I did that to help the people who wouldnt bother giving any advice and would instead tell he how I wasted their precious time asking a question they didn't have to answer or even read. There are at least 5 other posts on the first page at this time that aren't new ROMs, MODs, or FIX's, so I guess the flamers should be really busy today.
Thanks for the helpful help though!

Hello,
You are rooted & soff, so you are ready to get a new rom, but be sure you have a backup first.

[Q] Why doesn't the new Juggs 4.1 ROM have the newest modem in it?

Hey everyone, this is my first post... I've read through the entire Juggs ROM post in the development section of XDA, but I can't find anywhere why he doesn't include the newest modem in 4.1... Anyone have any idea why not?

I can try to find the exact reason, but I know flashing a modem with a rom has the chance of flashing incorrectly and going horribly wrong. Hence why the method is to just be safe and do it via odin. I will edit this post soon enough with the actual reason as well.

What are you looking for I mean there are threads in probably every android thread for any phone currently on ICS.. Its a quite simple search Google Now for ICS- main thread. There is a thread in this forum as well. If you found v7 why dont you install apk or flash the zip? Sorry but I am confused as to what you need especially since you are posting a zip file.
Edit: Also it works been using it when I was on ICS
