Okay so I want to flash a rom preferably myn's warm 2.2 but someone told me I shouldn't because I used unrevoked. What do I do?
Swyped from my HTC EVO 4G via xda app
Don't see what the issue would be. I used the newest unrevoked to root and have flashed nearly every rom available, including myn's warm TwoPointTwo which I am currently running.

If you're rooted with S-off and amon ra or clockwork recovery works, then you should be able to flash any rom. I flashed myn's warm 2.2 on a hw 004 with hboot 2.02 with no problems. All depends if you fully rooted your phone.
How can I tell if it's fully rooted? I have super user and a bunch of other apps that require root..and did I just answer my own question? Lol $ is off. I just need to know to do a nandroid backup so I can try flashing for the first time (I'm a little concerned)

Power off the phone. Start the phone holding volume down and power. You will be at the fastboot screen. At the top left look for it to say s-off or s-on. If it shows s-off then your fully nand unlocked. If it shows s-on then you will need to dig deeper. Depending on your hardware revision if it shows s-on then you may be able to use unrevoked forever.
If your s-off then use rom manager to flash amon-ra (highly recommended)..
Be sure to place any flashable zips on the root of the SD card so amon-ra will see them. And yes do a nand backup first.

Check the link in my sig for a walk-through on backing up and flashing your first rom. It's pretty basic, but should tell you what you want to know.

Thank so much for the guide. The reality was I already knew what I was doing just needed to know what to do with the backup once it was made.

Okay I ran into a problem, did a nandroid backup and can't find the folder in my sd card for it, what do I do?
Nandroid backups are found in your SD Card under the nandroid folder.
I found out that I was using clockwork(kinda sad that I didn't know this from the start) and it was in the clockmod folder now to take a risk and flash this rom.

You should always wipe when flashing a new ROM. Just back up all your apps with titanium backup or mybackup pro. Your contacts should be back up'd by Google.
No. well you can use apps like Titanium Backup, that you can use to backup any apps and their data, but other than that, you just need to sign back in to e-mail and gmail and fb,twitter, ect...
Use your Nandroid

If you're fully rooted with recovery, reboot your phone while holding the volume down button and you should be in either the Amon-Ra or Clockworkmod recovery.
From there explore your menus a bit, and you'll find a place to do a Nandroid backup.
Do that - it will literally back up everything - your kernel, your stock ROM, your apps, your data, all to a nandroid image file on your SDCard.
Then you can wipe everything in your recovery and flash whatever you want.
Now you can play with other ROMS, learn to flash alternatives and such, and if you ever need/want to go back to how it was, just go back into recovery and choose a Nandroid restore.
Also if you use clockwork nand you can restore your apps after youve changed the rom. Flash your current rom first, then wipe everything the new rom needs you to. After flashing the new rom to the nandroid and select advanced restore. Select data and your done. Reboot and enjoy.

If your going to back up your rom to flash another one use RA recovery to wipe and backup your phone. Clockworkmod does not do a proper wipe of your phone and will leave remnants of your old rom on your phone.

I'm not sure what's a nandroid & I think I had to go through some part that had clockwork mod but again as I said I'm not sure what it is . ( I'm sill a rookie with this sorry )
What should I do next ? Did I back up the stock Rom properly via UnrEVOked 3 rooting method ?

Sent From My Fully Rooted HTC Evo 4G Via XDA App.
To do NAND backup, you go into recovery. There should be an option for backup/restore (I use Amon_RA so CWM might be different). You do this before wiping your phone to install a new ROM or new kernel/radio/whatever. If something bad should happen when you flash the new stuff, you go back into recovery and do a restore.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Well I'm not going to flash anything yet . Just wanted to know if I should do it now after fully rooted ? Or there is no need to back up yet ?
I'm still learning about rooting & after about a month of being half rooted I finally got the S-OFF today
& got me a custom boot animation & got rid of some stock apps I didnt use .

Most newer roms have a recovery option when you power off
Either clockwork or amonra both have nandroid so just navigate the menus and you will see it.
And make sure your battery is charged up good or you will get an error.

Download ROM Manager from the market. You'll have the option to use Clockwork Mod or Flash Armon recovery so you can be sure
I just got my Evo last Tuesday and last night finally built up the courage to root it. I used unrevoked 3.3 without any hassles then flashed Sprint lovers 12/31/10. I'm happy with it other than the battery life. I'm thinking of flashing another rom to see if that helps. However, I don't want to lose 4g. That's what brings me to my question about Amon_RA. I read the thread about the risks right now. In ROM Manager I get the option to install Amon_RA 1.8.0 and I'm not sure if that would be safe with hboot 2.10 or not. I did a backup with clockwork already and I'm wondering if that keeps my 4g keys or do I absolutely need Amon_RA to back them up.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Clockwork does not back up your RSA keys, but there is a thread somewhere around here on how to back them up manually from terminal emulator. I don't know much about Amon Ra.
I'm on my phone or I would like you to the thread.

Here is the thread to back up your RSA keys manually.
[UPDATE, INFO AND LINKS]*PLEASE READ* Concerns about Amon_Ra and Clockworkmod
As for your question about the Amon_RA. If you have a recovery installed that works.. I wouldn't change it unless you have to.
[ROOT] unrevoked3 v3.3 (with support for new HBOOT)
The Unrevoked 3.3 uses ClockworkMod 3.0.0.2 witch has options to back up WiMAX keys.
[ROM] Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - [RLS 4 - 11/25/2010] - Making Sense Of It All!
This is the ROM I use, but if you don't like sense go with CyanogenMod.
I hope this all helps
enjoy your evo
I'm definatley going to check out that rom. I'm a big fan of sense especially since it reminds me of my Fuze and makes the transition from winmo seem easier.
If I understand you correctly, the clockwork backup I did after rooting should've saved my rsa keys? I'm already starting on the manual way just to play it safe. Thanks for all the info, it's cleared up a lot of the confusion I had.
Sent from my HTC Evo 4G using XDA App
It depends on your version of Clockworkmod, but in my opinion, doing it manually is by far the safest way.

Great Enjoy Your Evo
My wife got an evo like 3 months ago and I've been begging her to let me root it and play around. She finally said ok but wants to stay on stock rom bit remove bkoatware. So my question is I was gonna root with the universal one click but after reading the Instructions it flashes a custom rom (sprint lovers) at the end. What method can u use to root it with s-off but stay on the stock rom for now until I can find her an awesome rom she would like? That's all I want right now is full root with s off with custom recovery but on stock rom. Thank you in advance.

Unrevoked 3
Sprint lovers is pretty much stock. I believe he used Calk's exploit to make the 3G hotspot feature work but to tether 4G you need wireless tether.
To remove bloatware, use Titanium backup.
www.unrevoked.com. doesn't even lose any data. really a great tool.
if you want to learn a thing or two, use the link in my sig. careful, it wipes...
I rooted my Evo with newest unrevoked. It worked great and like already mentioned above you will not lose any data. With unrevoked you will have the stock rom. First thing to do is make a nandroid backup. Also I installed Amon Ra v2.3 because a lot of people haber better results with out over clockwork

btw the 'better results' you are talking of has nothing to do with overclock. amon-ra is a recovery, that works better (most agree) than clockworkmod. nothing to do with in the rom.

You may want to buy titanium back because you can freeze apps instead of removing them. The benefit is that if the app you remove odd needed for the system to run you can just unfreeze it and everything will be ok. Where as if you uninstall the app may be in a world of hurt. If the phone runs fine for a few day with the app frozen then you can uninstall the app.

Amon Ra does work better than clockwork for me. Seems to handle clearing the data and other system parts that are needed for flashing different roms.

oh srry read your comment wrong. i read amon-ra works better results without overclock. i guess you said over clockwork. ok then ignore my previous comment.
Thanks guys. I have an epic so I'm just trying to learn the evo. Thank you. I have clockwork for the epic and I hate it. If I use unrevoked I can then use rom manager to flash amon_ra right? I don't really care for rom manager support.

Unrevoked includes Forever... flashing separately would just be redundant. Older versions of unrevoked didn't nand unlock, newer versions do.
I backed up my keys using ADB, but this was before I knew I could back them up in recovery. Using Amon Ra, go to the normal backup/restore screen, uncheck the first three things with the power button, then check only the wimax option. Then do your backup. You will, of course, want to back up the rom as well. I'd just suggest doing them separately so you can keep your wimax backup in multiple places without taking up a ton of space.

unrevoked automatically runs unrevoked forever. to backup rsa keys, just make a nand backup and be sure to include wimax partition in the backup.

myns is convincing, if just for the looks. very nice rom for beginners. also mikfroyo maybe. or just go right for it with cm7 or miui (lawlz).
for sense kernels, netarchy's or ziggys (on his website ziggy471.com)
Yeah she loves sense and I keep telling her there are some custom roms that have sense overlay but I do like myns warm rom. Looks awesome. Ill just get a custom kernel for now and overclock it. Also I haven't flashed amon ra yet. I still have cwm 3.0.0.5 flashed. Is there anyway to backup the keys seperately in cwm or not. I did a nand backup already. I know u said in amon ra you can backup the keys seperately. If I can't on cwm ill just flash amon ra then. That ls guys.

If you want to install Amon Ra then go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026 for the Evo. I choose to use the the Bootloader way. Just remember that any backup you do with Clockwork can not be used with Amon Ra to restore and vise versa. Also ALWAYS ALWAYS keep a backup copy of your nandroid backups somewhere other than the SD card. I have personally been saved by doing this because for some unknown reason my nandroid folder went MIA one day from the SD Card but I had copies on my computer.
I just rooted my daughters evo yesterday with unrevoked and lost nothing and had a clean root. I also rooted mine and my wifes evo with unrevoked and flawless. unrevoked ftw!

Great advise with the backups! Gonna do that now.
This may be over kill but everytime I do a nandroid backup, with Amon-RA I always select to include the wimax RSA keys. You can just have one, but It is better to have and not need than it is to need and not have.

Everything I come across is like trying to read a different language. First off, what am I supposed to copy and paste with a file manager? Then, how can I cloud store my apps Cos I am running out of space due to use of go launcher ex and its many space Hogger accessories...? and finally do I Have to use a computer to root/unlock my phone so I can have newuser permission? how do I do that????
I get easily confused because I'm very new to trying to experience the awesomeness of hacking my phone....Hit me up on Skype anbot3. Thx guys and gals.
