If you want to keep your apps download and run titanium backup. Do a full wipe and clear cache. Install your Rom and afterwards reload titanium backup and install your missing apps. I am running virus sense 4.2 and it runs great. You Shouldnt have any trouble.
Edit...
I do not use Rom manager because I prefer psfmod recovery.
Are you fully rooted with s off on the boot loader?
Before flashing any Rom make a nanroid just incase something goes wrong

I am considering flashing to virus Rom. I have a few questions first though.
I rooted with unrevoked, will I be fine?
When I flash will my apps be there if I saved them to the SD card?
Is Rom manager good to use?
Is there anything else I should know before I root.
Thanks in advance

So you are or are not rooted first you said you rooted with unrevoked then at last you ask if there is anything else you need to know before root. Moving on if you are rooted go to the market and download titanium backup use the batch option to save all your apps then after you flash new room use batch to restore all apps I'd you are not rooted you will lose your apps there are apps in the market like app monster that let you back up apps but you will lose your link to the market. Unrevoked will be fine that's whati used as long as its compatible with your phone if already rooted your good. Room manager is good if you use clockwork recovery. Its only compatible with clockwork. You should look up his to back up rsa keys very important if you want 4g. Always backup your phone before you do ANY Mods this will save you allot of heart ach. And last try not to offer money this can be bad In the end but up to you and I don't want any just want to help

As long as you do not flash a the wimax radio you should never worry about this. But you should back it up just incase.

So i uninstalled CM6, and installed the stock 1.47. RUU I do not have root access now because i want to install the stock 2.2 Froyo. Is it okay that i still have AR as my recovery installed for my recovery? Also, if i was to nandroid to restore CM6 would it go back to being rooted?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If you flash the 2.2 that just came out, you're in no mans land since you'll be flashing a unrooted froyo.
In other words, you will lose root which also means that you not be able to nandroid back..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Having AR as your recovery image should be "okay" although it may get overwritten by the update, or at least locked out by a new HBOOT. If that happens, you wouldn't be able to access your nandroid backup anyway.
So, broken record time: Don't update if you don't want to lose root. Wait for a rooted ROM or a proven root method to be released.
I don't mind that. I'll wait for a root. Will it get rid of AR recovery as well. I installed stock Rom as said. Just want to make sure the recovery and everything else will be gone.

If you flash the RUU then it will bring "everything" back to stock.

new rooter here, quick question. I just rooted 2.1 with the stock 2.2 froyo rom using amon_RA'S recovery. now i want to take off amon_ra's recovery and put clockworkmod's recovery so i could use rom manager. question is, how do i go about doing that? please if u could give exact directions because like i said i'm really new to this. any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks 4 ur help!
I believe there is a guide to all this. You should check it and see if that could help answer your question(s). Best of luck
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
not sure, but worth a try
i think you can just download rom manager and hit "flash clockworkmod recovery" at the top. tell me if this works.
Do I have to wipe first?

Nope. Just download rom manager and there is an option to flash clockwork mod as your recovery. That's what I did. No need to wipe or anything, it does it instantly from the app.

I'm using Fresh 3.1.0.1 (haven't updated to .2 yet) with Netarchy's kernel.
Everything requiring root works, 54 fps works, as does all the normal stuff (camera, etc), but with all of the Sprint junk removed. Simple but exactly what I wanted.
Im going crazy trying to figure out how to root my evo and flash a new rom. Its so many different ways to root. Does any one know the best way and can help me lol. And whats the best rom out there.

you can use unrevoked it will be easiest takes about 10 mins just use this link for step by step instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787304
unrevoked3 painless root and flash will give your full root and nand unlock plus it will flash clockwork all at the same time. if you don't like clockwork after thats done just download ROM manager and download amon ra recovery and flash it through rom manager and you'll be set to flash custom roms

+1. This should be a really easy way to root if you aren't familiar with rooting.
+2 unrevoked is by far the easiest method to do so.
I made a video showing how to do it from beginning to end. The program literally does all the work, you just need to push a few buttons here and there when it asks you to do so.

Really?? i had no idea.
+3 on unrevoked. it's super simple. once you are rooted, however, the real fun begins
Ive been going back and forth on using unrevoked, but I kinda want to do it the long way so I can learn how to do it...
Sent from the MATRIX... while plugged into my EVO... using the XDA app... from a galaxy far-far away.......
Thanks guys. One more thing. What suggestions do you guys have after rooting
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
First thing you should do is download ROM Manager and backup your stock ROM. Read up on the different ROMs available and let the fun begin!
Now when you say "stock ROM", is that the stock ROM thats rooted, or is it the rooted version that u r backing up?
Sent from the MATRIX... while plugged into my EVO... using the XDA app... from a galaxy far-far away.......
You can't perform a full nand backup (that'd what nandroid does) until you are rooted, so what he is saying is to root using unrevoked, and then immediately do a nandroid backup. That way you will always have a completely "stock" backup (that has root) in case your future rom flashing endeavors should leave your phone in an unusable state. This initial backup is also handy should you ever need to unroot.

he means as soons as you root backup, to witch i concur but i recommend flashing amon ra recovery from rom manager first since amon backs up your keys for wimax and radio's

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.

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.

Hello,
Noob here. I've run into this issue with my Nandroid restores where I suddenly lose write permissions. I can still read, but if I try to write anything to the root, I get a insufficient permissions error.
Using CWM 5.0.2.6
SuperSU v.0.87
Clean Stock ICS from KIES
Odin 1.85 Flash CWM
Backup
Root w/ SuperSU v.0.87
Success.
Spend hours upon hours making it perfect V1
Backup Perfect V1
Spend hours upon hours perfecting perfection...
Which leads to imperfection(Deleted necessary System File)
Restore Perfect V1
Write access lost.
Is there a way I can regain the root somehow without a clean install?
Thank you in Advance.
I believe this is a known issue when restoring nandroid back ups. Your only recourse is to reflash the rom and start over.
