Isn't an Evolution a car?
Why would you possibly want to un-root?

Just boot into recovery, do a nandroid backup, then a full wipe and flash the new ROM.
Dang auto-correct...no evolution, just an evo...thanks...that's what I thought

Also, i am wondering if i can put the newest official rom on it while its still rooted so it will be stock 2.2 apart from being rooted, and if not, what is the closest to stock 2.2 rom that runs stable and isnt missing anything. Im doing this for a friend and he wants stock 2.2 with root access

Well the general rule for root users (and soon to be root users) is never take the unrooted OTA update from Sprint until an official root method for it has been confirmed. That said, I've read in another thread that Unrevoked 3.21 (or whatever the newest version is) apparently worked perfectly for at least one person.

So, in that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352 there is a rooted OTA Froyo for the EVO, I have two questions about it. 1) do I use the same method as in this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690762
2) can I update from the 3.36.651.3 (leaked build) directly?
Holey F'n Crap....that was literally 4 minutes from when I bumped the NO ROOT ON 2.2 thread. Seriously!!!
You cannot load a ROM unless you are rooted...there is no root for 2.2. No you cannot load a rooted 2.2 ROM over a non rooted version of anything.
Interesting, I was able to load the leaked 2.2 on my stock unrooted EVO.... So is that only possible with the official updates????

Yes.
(....)
From the rooted Froyo link
You might be able to just flash this over the leaked ota, but I advise doing a full wipe before flashing just to be safe.

Does that mean the leaked version that came out a few days before the OTA or a rooted version of the leaked one that came out a few days early???
There are now rooted versions of both. It would mean the rooted version.
Ok, I rooted my dinc when with Sky Raider 1.9b. Never was fond of trying to flash the radio etc, so I used this for awhile. Then I heard the OTA was coming from Verizon, so I went back to the stock Rom and waited for the OTA. It came, I tried to download it and it didnt work, so I downloaded it from XDA and everything worked fine. I am now on 2.2 Radio 2.15.00.07.28, but I want to be rooted again.
I go to Unrevoked and see this "At this time, unrevoked3 does NOT work on stock Froyo (Android 2.2) phones."
Is my phone now considered stock and I can not root my phone, until they figure it out? Or what can I download to get me rooted and back to using custom roms?

Do you have your phone set to S-OFF? If so, there is a way to reroot it. Go to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771178
I have a question if you are running a custom 2.2 rom will your phone still get the official 2.2 OTA update?
First, What rom are you running? If its not stock sense then no. I don't think that it will allow the ota if your rooted either. If you are looking for the OTA, you can find it online and install it manually, or you will need to RUU back to 2.1 then wait for it to ask you.
Android 2.2
I am running Skyraider 3.0 Vanilla.

no you will not get the ota update.
not even sure why you are asking the question.
if you want stock 2.2 just download it.

You already have 2.2, so why would you be asked to download 2.2? lol
Logic, bro.
I rooted with unrevoked and installed Cyanogenmod 6.0.2. I am having issues with my camera not being found and calls saying they are dropped, but then the person is still on the line. What's the easiest way to return to stock Sense 2.2? I did not do a nandroid backup. Thanks in advance.

Might be an easier way, but section 6 of [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760306]this guide[/URL] will return it to stock 2.1 and you're just an OTA away from 2.2.
I never changed the radio image when I rooted and installed cm over stock 2.2. Can I just flash the stock OTA that I downloaded?

Probably. My phone came with stock 2.1, so that's where I focused my research putting me back at. I never looked into the 2.2 OTA image, since I could download it OTA easily and that way I know it hasn't been tampered with.
I am rooted with software 3.29.651.5 (stock ROM, removed bloatware) and I want to get the latest OTA update while keeping my root.
I assume this is only possible with a ROM flash. Does anyone have a recommended ROM that is stock with root? I do not have ap2sd partition, all I did was unrEVOked and no OTA updates since 3.29.651.5.
I'd like to keep the stock ROM if possible. I have clockwork 3.0.0.5 installed and I just did a Nandroid backup.
There are rooted stock roms in the dev section

as the poster before me said, there are rooted stock ROMs in the dev section, and also very good, optimized, stock-like ROMs, which you could also check out...
