Just rooted but went from 2.2 to 2.1

I just did the root, nand, and radio
However I didn't know that I was going back to 2.1
What are the cons of 2.1 vs 2.2 and how long usually before there is an updated rooted 2.2?
Thanks

2.2 is out officially??? Where/how can I/we get it?

It just automatically downloaded when I got my phone yesterday. Now I'm wondering if I should go back and update and wait then re root later or just wait.

Are you sure you had 2.2? Where did you get your phone? What is your hardware version?

Positive I had it. I got it at walmart yesterday. As soon as I activated it downloaded like three updates.
I was using flash etc.

Flash lite?

Flash works with 2.1 also (at least on the evo)

I'm not really sure. I just know it said 2.2 and not 2.1.
also my hardware is 2.2
I wish I would've known I would've backed up before rooting. I didn't see any reason since the phone was new with nothing on it.
I just checked and it said no updates available.
So in order to go back to stock all I have to do is reflash with the stock rom. Just throw it on sd and flash as normal?

Just flash RUU from your computer.
Settings > About > Hardware, your Hardware Version is 2.2, NOT 002 or 003?

no its 002 sorry running on two hours of sleep here.
Ok i'm going to try to go back to stock then upgrade.
at least I know I can root it again. maybe faster next time too.

well I unrooted and got some prl updates but no firmware

here goes
Take the battery out of the for about 5 sec then put the battery back in and go in to recovery and try reflashing the rom that work for me

One of three things happened..
You are either have a nexus one and are in the wrong forum..
Are mistaken that you had 2.2 prior to root..
Or you're just trying to mess with everyone..
2.2 is not out in any way officially on any HTC phone, so you couldn't have had it. And no, you couldn't have been the only person in the country to have accidentally gotten it somehow.

Download Original Froyo 2.2?

Can i get the link for the orginial unrooted froyo 2.2???

If I'm not mistaken, there isn't really an "original" download link. You'd have to go to your phone's manufacturer for a stock ROM customized to their specs or you could always grab a copy of Froyo's source code and compile your own beast.
Someone correct me if I am wrong please....

I always keep getting Android acore process close and I tried factory reset it dident work so i wanna reflash froyo

Oh I get it. Well, I'm no expert by any means but if you're fully rooted, have a recovery flashed and are flashing different ROMs onto your phone you'd want to be sure you're wiping data/cache/dalvik to minimize any potential issues. I've seen a few people with Acore issues using ADW Launcher. Is that what your exact problem is? Reason why I ask is because there are LOTS of different threads with people helping others troubleshoot Acore issues in ADW.... use the search button for more information.
If you're interested in flashing an unrooted Froyo ROM keep in mind you're going to lose root if you go that route and that there is no way to root the OTA HTC update at the moment (which means once you flash to unrooted Froyo you're stuck there until a dev root's it). The easiest way to go back to original, unrooted Froyo for the HTC EVO 4G is to go to Settings > System Update > HTC update.
I hope this helps you.

I already downlaod froyo via ota and i dont have adw i have nothing just the new froyo and it keeps force closing i have no root nothing and i dident have root before either

Well if that's the case then maybe there is something going on with your phone physically. If you're running a stock phone and it's putting out that many FC's I'd be hard-pressed to take it back and ask for an exchange. That's just me though.

[Q] I'm rooted and I still don't have the 2.2 do I have to unroot?

I have a rooted HTC evo I still haven't gotten the update do I have to unroot to be able to download 2.2(froyo). I just want the update what do I have to do?

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A9AI5RM9
Thats the RUU, apply this update and you'll be completely stock 2.2

what do you mean apply I've downloaded this before I can't find the file to download and when I try to open it it says it doesn't have a program to open.

If you are rooted Most Roms will not allow an OTA to come through.
you have options the option listed above will unroot you and install 2.2.
the other option is to go to the dev forum and download a 2.2 custom rom or the rooted 2.2 stock rom. flash those and you are good to go.
I will remind that currently there is no way to root 2.2 so if you choose to go through the RUU and go to stock rom that way you will NOT be able to root at this time. It could also be WEEKS before a root method is found. I dont know why anyone would want to or would suggest doing this unless you plan to take it in to sprint for repair.

How do I apply the first file?

No you do not need to unroot. If you accept that ota update it will take away your root because the rom it puts in isn't rooted. I happened to download and try out froyo 2.2 like 3 days ago to see how it functions. It works very well however the update killed my hotspot completely. I ended up restoring back from Froyo 2.2. I will give a link that will take you to the downloads to do it where the rom comes rooted, and the radio and wimax drivers are there as well. Here it is.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740520 One thing to remember is this is not the absolute final build that is pushed out on the OTA update that they have done today. So my guess is very very soon if not already there will be a posted and rooted version of the final build. I am unsure and I am almost positive nothing is every final, but I don't know if you will be able to re-root your evo if you just accept the update from Sprint. If you no longer want a rooted phone and all you care about is getting the update, then you can or will have gotten the request today from sprint as I did or you can look for the update manually in system updates, from settings at the home page. Hope that helps and take care.

I strongly suggest you do not just get stock 2.2 because you have no idea if you will ever root again. Unless your taking it into sprint it makes no sense. I really do not want to attempt to get you that file because its a massive mistake. The download does work though i already tried it that much i can say. See if someone else will actually tell you what you need to do because i'm not sure i can bring myself to do it sorry. I am slightly unsure how you ended up rooting your phone if you are having trouble with a download that has an executable file as in you click on it and it runs If you however need help downloading or flashing or whatever the other stuff that i linked that i will definately try to assist you with. If you flash a stock rom you can and will get the message to update the system and you can manually look for it too. The roms have that disabled so people can't due to ignorance, apply the update then say, "Oh crap I am not rooted how do I fix it?", which we will see a lot of today.

[Q] EVO 4G Incorrect time zones and other noob questions

I've looked for a few other threads about this but nothing seems to exactly fix this issue.
For some reason my phone keeps thinks that we are in Curitiba Brasil. I'm definitely in St. Louis MO right now. I've tried looking for a way to use the Rom Utility Manager to put my phone back to the way it was fresh out of the box but every search I do yields a rooted 2.2 version. (Granted I wouldn't mind rooting but all the versions I've read about seem to not perform as good as the stock)
Had my EVO rooted on 2.1 but when 2.2 came out I unrooted and restored to stock but now I can't find the RUU I used to unroot.
So here are my questions,
1) Has anyone else experienced this with stock EVO's?
2) where can I download the original RUU that came on the EVO 4g so I can then update OTA back to 2.2
I wouldn't mind eventually getting a fully functional 2.3 but I think that kind of goes without saying.

1) The time zone thing is random and it's an HTC or Sprint thing. It was just happening to my girl's Evo, and my roomate's Evo Shift. I was able to correct it by deleting the clock widget. Rebooting the phone, and then re adding the clock widget. Not sure if it'll be so simple for you, but thats what worked for me.
2) I'm a little confused about you're second request. Right now you are currently rooted or unrooted? on 2.1 or 2.2? If all you need is an unrooted factory ROM, this link right here has all of the RUU's and PC36IMG's for the Evo.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060&highlight=hboot-0.97+ruu
Good luck. Let me know if you need more help.

Thanks for the assist.
Tried removing the clock widget and rebooting but I wasn't having any luck. It would work for a few minutes then go back to Brazilian time.
Ended up going the route of the most recent RUU. aside from having to re-establish all my favorite apps and settings all looks good. at this point I might look at some decent rooted roms to flash over

[Q] BaconBits and the new OTA

Sorry if the title is a little nebulous. I have a G2 that's been S-OFF'd and has cyanogen's BaconBits but not a full CM. I'm getting bugged to install the OTA update which, I'm pretty sure is a Bad Idea without some prep beforehand. My Google-fu and xda search skills are apparently failing me, because I'm sure someone has the scoop.
Can someone point me to a thread or tutorial? If the best answer without having to do full CM is to just decline the OTA, I'm good with that - just tell me how to shut it up! I'm using wireless tether and some other root-required things so I don't want a 100% stock Gingerbread.
Thanks,
Brad

What do u mean "not do a full CM"? You can't just flash part of a rom. And baconbits isn't to be used passed CM 6.1 I believe
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

What I meant by "not a full CM" was BaconBits. I had pretty much assumed there was no BaconBits moving forward, so I think my immediate goal is to just keep what I have. Is there a way to "turn off" the update nagging?
Brad

How the hell are you even getting updates? Which rom exactly are you using? And unless you don't want root anymore you should definitely not install it. But know that just incase you accidentally do install it there is an exploit now. But I would probably verify that you really have s-off and root access and reinstall your rom.

I currently have the stock ROM with S-OFF and cyanogen's old "BaconBits" add-on, released prior to anyone creating custom ROMs. I'm considering one of the stock-but-rooted Gingerbread roms, but for now, I just want to block updates. Suggestions?
Brad

Same here..I'm fully stock rooted with s off and tp wake mod only..I don't want to upgrade bc none of the updates are really stock( all these pure stock ones all have things removed or other tweeks)..I like my phone the way it is and just want to not get bugged for updating..what do?

I'm pretty sure if you edit the build.prop to say HTC Vision instead of T-Mobile G2 the update notifications will cease. Use something like Root Explorer to navigate to /system and then edit the line that says "ro.product.model=T-Mobile G2". It'll be like the 15th line down.
I can't guarantee it'll work but it's worth a try.
Why don't you just get the stock rooted update from here in the dev section? That'd be just as easy and then you'd actually have the update as well.
Stock Gingerbread OTA

Yeap.. I found that thread after some searching and upgraded, upgraded the radio, did the gps fix, fix permission.. and its working fine no wipe no nothing. Only thing Im missing is my track pad wake. Also to the op.. I think if you uninstall the app updater with uninstaller for root you wont get bugged for the update any longer.
Also even after upgrading to 2.3.4 it was still telling me there was an update.. I had to update the radio for it to go away..so maybe a radio update is all youll need op

i have a similar question. i'm also on stock 2.2, never did any OTA's and also have baconbits (flashing LED when message waiting, etc.)
what i would like to know, if i update to gingerbread, will i be able to install baconbits over gingerbread or not? i just want to keep a stock rom.
thanks!

Baconbits if for 2.2 only; as it was abandoned when CM nightlies started. You might try Pershoot's kernel with stock 2.3 or just go all the way and get CM7.

Well, in the final analysis, I decided to go "all in". I realized after looking through the wiki that I had "label S-OFF" and not "radio S-OFF", and figured this could be an issue later on. So, I followed the instructions to get "radio S-OFF" and then tried to update my Clockwork recovery to the latest 3.x version; it didn't work (wouldn't boot into recovery). So, I tried an older version of 3.x (the one I had prior was a 2.5 something), and that did work.
Since I then had a fresh, fully rooted device as an starting point (with nandroid backup, of course), I decided to go for the gusto and install CM7. I had the foresight to do a Titanium Backup of my apps, but what I forgot to do was save my call log and SMS messages. So, I decided to exercise that nandroid backup; restored my 2.2 with BaconBits, saved the SMS and call log, then restored my CM7 that I had just saved 30 minutes before, and restored the SMS and call log. All of it worked like a champ.
So, I'm jammin' on the CM7, it's faster and better than my 2.2 with BaconBits, so I'm happy. I'll probably leave it like this until CM8, if there is such, and if it runs on G2.
