I have A Evo 4G ver. 2.1 Phone Rooted With Unrevoked3 method. I would like to update, but am not sure as to what direction to go. Can someone please give me some guidance which does not require a rocket scientist to complete.

First of all, next time don't post a question in the dev section, that what q and a is for!
A little behind huh 2.1 lol. Just flash any Rom most are updated with the latest goodies. Don't bother flashing stock roms, flash a custom.
Youtube a few videos on flashing evo and read some text instructions. Then put two and two together.
Edit: If you what a pure google rom flash a aosp rom. If you are a Htc sense fan then look for custom stock.

please, please, please just answer me this. do you know where i can get a stock custom? i recently flashed cyanogen 6.1.2 and i love it, ****ing amazing. but i like htc sense, because i use the apps alot, and somethings i like more. and i miss my 4G. i dont think a stock custom will have 4G but idc, i just want one like that. a good idea would be something like cyanogen mod but have it sense.
Im running fresh 3.5, netarchy 4.3 no havs no undervolt, seidio 3500 and its great. Been off the charger for 12 hours and at 74% life...very very happy! Running 1190 is my sweet spot. 38ish mflops 1500 quadrant and been completely stableat the speed

I had to throw a thanks on that post. It may not have been a useful post in the general definition for the forums, but it sure was useful in getting me to chuckle out loud
And in the hopes of being somewhat useful to the OP, why not start with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830153&highlight=sprint+lovers which is close to stock, get your feet wet flashing, then try the more "exotic" stuff.

Check out virusroms or mynns. Good sense or senseless roms that are constantly updated by devs that seem to never leave their pc's.
Threads are everywhere. Happy flashunting!
And am I the only one that lol'd over the term "stock custom"?

Try myns rom. Its smooth, everything works, including 4g. If you like sense, you should like it.
I would suggest virus Rome too. I thing he's the best evolution Dec period. Been using his stuff since September, everything works and he never disappoints. Full 4g, full tether, etc

Hello guys. I was wondering if someone.could please help me with rooting my wife's evo. I'm not familiar with the evo. I've been researching it the.past couple days. My question is in the wiki I see the universal auto root but that uses unrevoked. I have just been reading that unrevoked causes problems so I was wondering if there.is a better way than using the unrevoked. My wife's evo is hardware 4 hboot 2.10 radio-2.15.00.11.19 and on software.version 3.70. So does using unrevoked cause.problems? Thanks for.all your help.
Nope unrevoked is the best way I love it, press a button boom follow simple instructions and your rooted!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
no issue with unrevoked for me have used on 2 evos
if you want to get adventurous, try the link in my sig.
Thank you guys alot. I haven't been keeping up on the evo like I wanted to with the.epic finally getting 2.2 about time. Damn you guys had it for a while and are getting honeycomb to boot up. Amazing work. So if I use unrevoked forever and an update comes out how does that work? I know you get to keep root but what steps do you take? Thanks alot guys for the help.
Dkdude36 that rooting way.looks fun. Its alot.more involved.
haha ya that rooting method is 'fun' its not as hard as it seems though. to update, just flash a rom with the new software. if you dont know how to do this, then you probably should have used the manual root to learn, but i will tell you anyways.
Oh ok I got ya. Think you so much.bro. I appreciate the.help and support. One.more question. I know.its.personal preference but what is your favorite rom/kernel?

my favorite is the newest cm7 nightly (whichever is newest at any given time ) plus savagezen's newest nosbc. savagezen needs like a day of conditioning so you might get bad results the first day. just stay on it and you will be impressed. i get 30+ hrs battery and high 1550's quadrant scores.
Awesome. You guys have alot of options to choose from. I guess I'll look at what you showed me and show the wife and let her find one. Her problem is she loves htc sense. So I might be limited on what I can pick. I really just want to get that bloatware off and overclock it for her to speed it up. So if I use the universal script it flashes Amon ra recovery right? I've never used that before. I have always used clockwork Mod before.

I've always used unrevoked and then when its done I go into recovery and flash amon RA. Its worked multiple times for me. There are a bunch of different sense Roms out there. Warm and mikfroyo are most popular though. Plus a ton of themes and overclocked kernals to go with them. I myself use cm7 but its all personal choice.
If I use the universal root doesn't that flash amon ra recovery for me? Or do I have to do that after.I complete the root?

yep xhausx's auto root does the whole thing. try it it works. and if he doesnt he responds fast and makes it work within the hour.
Will do thanks bro. It looks really easy. I would.love to try cm7 on the evo. I know my wife would hate it but oh well. Once again thank you. You have really helped me understand everything. I always thought the evo was hard to root cause of the nand lock. I guess you could say I was intimidated by it. Just looking around you all have a great community here. Ill definitely be hanging around here a little more.

A friend of mine has an EVO, I do not nor have I ever used an evo before. He wanted a custom ROM installed and asked me for help. I would greatly appreciate any help offered by the community.
1. What ROM is closest to stock(If gingerbread is out for it then a gingerbread build would be nice), just tweaked/debloated/deodexed/zip aligned etc.
2. How well is CM7 running on the EVO? I have a captivate and CM7 right now is pretty unstable this is going to be his main ROM and he isnt too technical.
3. What rom has a good/easy update flow. Maybe something with rom manager where he can just click update and all is well in the world.
Thank you SO much in advance.

There are plenty of stock roms and there is a couple gingerbread floating around somewhere i believe as well so your winning on that.

Flashing a Custom (even stock) Rom and then not wanting to update to the latest and greatest...ya....ok....NOT. Your friend will get a taste of what this is like and BOOM...hooked. The Rom I linked has a great OP in support. Enjoy the fun that you already know is gonna take hold of the phone your about to set free!
EDIT: Thought I'm sure this goes without saying, but will do anyway. Remind them......DO NOT...accept OTA updates even if they can...just sayin..lmao
CM7 or Death! I played with a lot of Sense roms for quite a while, but I determined they are nothing but bloat. CM7 is superfast, and I couldn't ask for much more in stability.

I want to remove Bloat and install v6 supercharger and some other tweaks to help it run smoother. anyone have any suggestions for a smooth, easy to use, stable Rom.

I am an chronic EVO flasher and she does not understand.

Since it is her phone and I am sure you love peace in your household, you may want something basic like the EC05plus ROM or ReRFS.
ha
That is why I hesitate!
links please if it is not too much trouble....
The v6 script is a trickier mod on a stockish rom. I swear by the latest sfr. Flash it twice. Be sure to flash a kernel also. In your case I'd recommend the ec05 plus kernel- nice and plain with no oc. Don't forget the hotspots hack. No sfr user should go without that freebee.

The first one requires Odin so back up first and then you can restore the data back. (of course ALWAYS back up a wife's phone first before doing ANYTHING!)----Great Advice!
Do not give her a GingerBread leak rom. My biggest recommendation.
My EC05 Froyo rom has the latest features like 6 Lockscreen mod and the free hotspot mod. You can try it here. If you don't need anything fancy, go with stockish as recommended by kenny.
Thanks!

Still working on it... twopointtwo is a Froyo based rom, so I'm switching to the Evo 3D twopointthree and to see what I can get (Rather stick with the GB based ports, instead of rolling back...).

The Incredible version (twopointtwo) was Froyo, according to the information in the OP. The Evo 3d version is GB, 2.3.4, and the device specs are similar to ours, so it should work. I've got the port files swapped and will be testing today to see if it boots. With any luck, could have a working port by the end of the week at this rate...
I haven't tried the port file, so don't get your hopes up yet guys! I'll post another update later today and let you all know how the tests are going...

NP... First test just boots back into recovery, so I've got some more porting to do tonight to get it booting... Hoping to have a bootable test by tomorrow or Friday...
EDIT: Still just boots back to recovery. I need to try a few other kernels and see what I can get to boot this...
Hello everyone I recently bought this touch off of craigslist and am utterly confused on the root process, flashing roms, etc...... First off it was already rooted and using CWM recovery. I found this out after I figured out how to boot into recovery on my new to me phone lol. With the Evo there were some growing pains but I figured it out pretty fast and was flashing like crazy in a couple of days. It's seems this phone is a whole new beast. Im living it so far but I need to know exactly what im up against since I see the phrase "brick your phone way too much already". I've read some threads already but can't quite wrap my mind around it yet so im reaching out, and yes I plan to do a while lot of reading just like I did with the OG Evo. That's not an option right now since my lil sister has been in the ICU in the hospital and I've been spending every waking hour there. Anyway I would just like to know where I stand with the room that is presently on the phone already and what I can do if I wanted to flash something else. Anyway thx for any help given and to those who will surely tell me to read, read, read I will, will, will lol.

Thx for responding and I will def check that out. I would just like to know what the previous owner did to root the phone if you could look at the screen shoot and give me an ideal. I asked him but he said someone rooted it for him and he didn't have much info. I also asked him off he was on XDA and he said no but he browsed an epic 4g forum but I didn't press him since I knew I could just come here and find out ask I needed to know.

I asked him but he said someone rooted it for him and he didn't have much info. I also asked him off he was on XDA and he said no but he browsed an epic 4g forum but I didn't press him since I knew I could just come here and find out ask I needed to know. Anyway thx for that info.

Whoops, accidentally hit the thanks button
Anyway it was most likely originally rooted using the EL29 one click found here:

This just installed stock firmware (gingerbread build) on the phone that was rooted. From there he probably upgraded to ics using the recovery built in with the EL26 kernel. Most recoveries are safe to use now, just make sure you thoroughly read the OP.
There was also an exploit through which it could have been rooted, but that was patched long ago.

Thank you for that info. One other question. Is there something I have to flash to be able to enable usb storage so I can move files btw my phone and pc/mac? I read in one of the thread that Samsung removed this feature at some point.

Look in the android development section. It appears you have the Universe rom from several versions back. I would recommend starting off stock rooted for learning purposes. We have a 1 click method for this and you can learn more from the development section and the qbking videos. FI27 is the most recent build number. I have not tried it yet. Last build I ran was FI03.
After you flash a stock rooted rom you will need to flash a kernel. I always used agats kernel and consider it safe. Good luck and read, read, read before you jump into anything.

No problem this phone can be a bit confusing at first. Lots of terms, letters, numbers, kernels but it will all make sense quickly.

Thx for all the help I have since flashed Agat recovery with stock FH13 rom and Universe 2.3 and am now on the way to fully exploring my phone.
Sounds like you are on the right track. I dont think I ever tried Universe rom. I have mostly been on Aosp based roms the past few months.
Universe rom is neat. I would suggest checking out blazer, calkulins or re-calk, and blu kuban. Those have been some of my favorites.

If you plan on checking out Kuban,I recommend the link in my sig. The flash procedure also works for many other roms, but until you are really comfortable I would always follow the op directions in whatever ROM you choose to flash. You picked a good phone with a great community. Lots of very helpful people here, even though we lost quite a few to the s3.
I have an OG EVO and my wife has the E4GT. I rooted it yesterday afternoon in about 15 minutes' time. Definitely not the same as rooting the EVO. While it's different, I think it swayed me towards going with the SGS III when my upgrade comes up next month. Looking forward to playing with the E4GT some more-if the wife lets me :angel:

I'm pretty comfortable with most things already lol. Used to flash all kinds of things on my Evo, but this phones blows it out of the water.

I hear you, I never even played with an E4GT before I bought it I just saw how great the S3 looked and felt in the sprint store and loved it. Since I refuse to sign a new 2 year contract I always stay at least a model behind and just go to craigslist.
htc phones and samsung are quite different i had an evo and it takes me twice as long to root it compared to samsung. but samsung seems easier to brick.
