I rooted 2.2 froyo, and used unrevoked forever. S is unlocked but I am unable to install any cm6 roms. Does this mean nand is still locked on my phone? And if so what do I do to unlock it as I am wery about repeating the wrong steps. Thanks

You are going to have to install the eng-bootloader in order to use the cm6 ROMs.
If you have not flashed any ROMs on your phone you should be at 2.1
Now you need to follow the rest of the instructions and install the eng-bootloader from the pc36img.zip

I have installed other roms currently running the latest fresh rom
I never updated my bootloader when I rooted my 2.2 froyo.. I have cm6. Maybe I lucked out.

How to remove stock apps ?
rooted HTC Evo with UnrEVOked 3 using stock 2.2 Froyo Rom
I was told to try titanium backup app but that didn't work either
Root explorer also didn't do much .
Anyone know a way that really works ? I just can't stand those apps running in the background all day .
Sent From My HTC Evo 4G using XDA App.
Titanium Backup and Root Explorer should both work. If they arent, maybe you arent fully rooted. And FYI, the apps are not "running" in the background, just cached.
Good to know thx
So how do I turn fully rooted ?
Is this that Nand unlock ? That I keep reading in the forums ? I'm still new at this .
Thx for your help again

The problem may be that the rom isn't rooted. I'm presuming that since you are "rooted" you have a custom recovery (clockworkmod/AmonRa). Try flashing a stock froyo rooted rom. I believe Sprint lovers will do the trick, though i've never flashed a stock rooted rom. it will give you root privileges sufficient enough to remove system apps
I'm using the stock Froyo 2.2 Rom
Rooted via UnrEVOked 3 .

This is a link to unroot if I'm not mistaken here.
I think you will need to use the SEARCH function on how to properly unroot your EVO with the specs of your phone
What do you mean with the specs of my phone sorry guys I'm a total noob at this

Hardware and hboot versions...
You can get your hardware at: menu-settings-about phone...
To get your hboot version hold the volume button down while powering up....it will say it at the top....then choose fastboot and then reboot to get out of that....if you choose the wrong thing you can always pull your battery

Hey quick question, what's the easiest way to unroot? Trying to help a friend, he is noob, and I don't know much about the EVO, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Unrooting
1. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever ; Scroll down to the FAQs, then download the unrevoked s-on zip. This places the security back on your phone, because rooting makes it s-off, and if s-on, quickest way to tell your phone was rooted.
2. Flash that file from recovery, then boot back into the bootloader [vol+down while turning phone on] and verify until its s-on.
3. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/3.70 RUU Zip.zip ; rename that file to PC36IMG, place on the root of your sdcard [not in a folder] then flash it in the bootloader. When the scan that normally does nothing, it'll detect that file. Apply the update then reboot. That's a stock 3.70 firmware file, it'll take you back to stock, unrooted, s-on.
Thanks, would it also work if he just went to updates, and got the new gb update, would u run into problems going that though if it even worked?

If he did that, he could brick his device or lose root permanently.

How do i put a password or lock on recovery so someone cant get in and wipe data without my authorization....
Unless the app was written to allow password(which it isn't) it won't work.
Why would someone want to get into your phone and wipe data??
Just use screenlock so no one but you can access your phone

Just make a nandroid backup and save the image on your computer instead of SD card.

There's a few tracking apps out there that lock the devices bootloader/recovery (can't remember which one gets locked) but I don't think they are free

Yea what app is it, I use cerberus and it is about the only option it doesn't allow. Also a password is a great way to prevent this anyway this coups be added? I use 4ext recovery this sounds like a great idea for the next version
actually cerberus has a flashable zip for rooted phones. go to there website and look under FAQs, download it then flash it via 4ext or cwm and viola its stuck in the system

Right they should put the option of making a password on recovery 4ext it'd be nice to know one can't wipe all of ur data if ur phone is lost or stolen that ur tracking app can't be wiped out

Very valid point about the wiping everything off the phone. Got me to thinking so I popped over to the 4EXT thread and asked about a password option. We'll see what madmaxx has to say.
Edit-->so he got right back and asked why since whoever would still havee access to the bootloader anyway... :/

well if you were that paranoid about it, you could chuck a ship hboot in there, so that they can't flash a new recovery. use misc_version to set your main version to over 9000, so that no one can flash a stock rom. set S-On once you have a custom rom set up how you like, etc.
