dont really have to re-root just find a rom you like, wipe everything(data,dalvik,cache)2x min and install the new rom from recovery. bunch of good,stable roms in the dev section to choose from.
sweet!...do I download rommanager in order to update to the latest recovery or do I have the latest?
Just making sure so I don't screw anything up. once I flash another rom I will make a backup of it.
also I heard you can't root the latest sprint 2.3 update, anywhere that I can find sprints 2.2 RUU incase anything happens?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133379
download 4.24.651.1 Odexed,
copy the entire zip file to your root directory on the SD card.
two ways of doing this. you can attempt start the flash through clockworkmod, which is what I did. It should work just fine.
second method is
Install RA Recovery v2.3 through Rom Manager
reboot the phone and hold the I think the down button on bootup. then
everything else should be clear. install the zip and clear the catch. Let phone reboot FULLY DO NOT PULL BATTERY OR ANYTHING.
LET US KNOW. HOWEVER, anyone else have anything to add to my instructions?
oh forgot... make sure you do a full backup using RA recovery... and use the "Wimax RSA Key Checker" by joeykrim BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!
I'll do stock for now, thanks !
found a a deck rom, it worked great on my hero so I'm going to give it a shot on the evo.
just flashed ginger deck, working fine will install rom manager later to update Recovery image. The last thing I'm looking for, is the sprint 2.2 RUU inscase I need to unroot.

Looks like your are on a stock rom, an outdated one to be exact. If you were running a custom rom, it would say it there, like "cyanogenmod".

You dont need any apps to "manage" root.

No difference. Unrevoked was a method used to root Froyo roms, while Revolutionary is the only method that will root newer gingerbread builds.

it says supersonic also ? i just want to update the gingerbread update that keeps popping up and i think if i rooted it myself i would understand it better
and what are these kernels?
and what are the benefits of using diff roms?
EVO is just the marketing name for the phone. It's actually and HTC Supersonic, which is why you see supersonic in phone information.
Different kernels are designed for different roms. There are AOSP kernels for ASOP roms and sense kernels for sense roms. Any ROM you flash will already have the correct kernel built in.
You can browse the dev forums here to find what roms work best for you. Many roms provide the same functionality, but some roms boast extra settings or features that you won't find in other roms.
You really just need to read through these XDA forums and discover what's going to be the best option for you. We can't tell you what roms you will like. However, I do suggest looking at CM7.1 and deck's 1.3 AOSP roms. Both work well and have lots of dev support.
There is no reason to re-root. Just download a few ROMs that look interesting. I am not going to waste time explaining how to flash Roms since there is plenty of info on how to....on here already

Root is Root, only differences are how you go about getting to Root.
There are a number of different Roms available. Each is slightly different. Which one you would ultimately settle on depends on your tastes and needs.
Simply stated the rom is like the image, or body of the vehicle/phone.
the kernel is more the motor. The trick is to find a combination that suits your needs and likings.
And i have learned to stick with one I like and let the dev upgrade it.
so right now I am running ace rom 2.0 with clockwork 3.0.0.6. my phone is running fine and everything, no complaints, thanks ace rom! anyway, i want to update to the latest version of clockwork mode which i believe is 3.1. how would i go about this? what does it mean to flash a modem??

You can use any available modem with any rom or cwm that you may be interested in. They are entirely seperate things. You can get the modems in the thread below. You need to use Odin to flash them. I believe there are sufficient instructions and videos.

For each new build, or software attempt at a build, they label it with a date code which corresponds with the baseband version or the modem. So EC05 is the accepted modem for Froyo. There have been many Gingerbread leaks so far, EF02, EF10, EG22, EH06 and EH17. They each came with an updated modem. However a lot of people have found it best to try these leaks and not update the modem and stay with the EC05 modem. The modem software basically tweaks the actual radios on the phone. So results vary by phone as to what would work best for you.
OK, i used auto root for rooting 02 and installing cwm recovery. then i installed the hotspot mod. perfect, everything working as expected. well now im getting the update nag. sorry for asking repetitive questions, but i want to be sure i have this correct first.
so if i run preroot el29 one click and preserve user data, it will be like the ota update but with root?? then i need to go back into the autoroot option c to get cwm recovery installed again??
will the nag screen go away then for the update??
doing these steps will get me back to root, cwm, and the latest "ota" update?
thanks so much for the time,
Joel
You got it! If you do exactly what you said you will be stock el29 rooted with cwm and you won't get nagged to install an update anymore.
If you'd like to test it out, I put together a rooted EL29 OTA update.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473538
The advantage is it will patch your existing ROM rather than overwrite your ROM.
There are 2 versions provided. One is rooted. The other is rooted+CWM.
Keep in mind the only repacked EL29+CWM available is Rogue, which supports custom boot animations. The way it is configured, it uses the default Android logo boot animation. Nothing was changed on your ROM, the Sprint 4G animation is still there, just the initialization of the bootanimation was changed.
thanks guys, the rooted el29 and guide is in the sig odin el29 correct??
[ODIN][TAR] SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097 (EL29 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Full Restore - Rooted) ??
the rooted update sounds good, will that keep my cwm, or i need to reinstall it??
where can i find the update to patch my rom?? will i loose my root or cwm or anything with that one?? just need el29 to hotspot again, and root.
thanks again,
Joel
a14) EL29 OTA (patch EK02->EL29) - Sprint OTA [stock recovery] is that the patch method ?? then if i run the check and go that route, i loose root and cwm??
does rootkeeper work for going from 02 to 29 ??
ok found the [CWM][OTA][EK02->EL29] Rooted EL29 OTA update (patches your existing ROM) thread. soooo do i want the cwm option?? i will loose my old one or does this update it??
k, ran compliance check and failed system/framework.framework jar and odex and service odex. does that eliminate the patch?? i think the only thing was installing the hotspot hack.
42 years on the planet and i feel like its 42 days sometimes. heh

Yes, that is the one, I forgot to put the link earlier.
There is only one CWM repacked with EL29 right now. It is Rogue CWM. You could run CWM repacked with an earlier kernel if you'd like, but if you want the EL29 kernel, there is just one choice. They also have a recompiled kernel based on EL29.

Well if you put the old ones back in place either because you backed up the file or did a nandroid backup prior to installing the hotspot hack, then you could put those back in place and run the rooted OTA. Otherwise go with one of the full updates that don't care what you currently have.
thanks so much, did the one click el29, still up and running so thats good.
was there anything funny with the cwm el29 from autoroot option c?? bootlogo or anything or it will look just like before. i have the hotspot files to transfer, guess just the jar files. should i do them by hand or install the cwm and install from sd and backup again ??
thanks so much for everything, much appreciated
Joel
Rogue CWM supports custom boot animation and it is initialized with the standard android bootlogo by default. That's the only stock EL29 repacked with CWM right now.
If it bothers you, you could run stock El29 and just install CWM when you need it, or you could install EL26+CWM (chris41gs repack) or I could dig up something to use the Sprint 4g animation. All the files are still there, just the initialization changed.
damn that was spooky, got stuck at the galaxy logo after a botched copy file operation. guess i need cwm to update the hotspot.
hit the oneclick 29 again, and it worked, damn.
I'm fairly new to flashing on this phone. Had it rooted and running PA 4.2 for a while then wanted to try something else. I can get into recovery and restore back to what appears to be stock with recovery access. From there I've tried flashing CM 10.2, PA 4.2 & 4.3 and slimbean, I get to their animated splash logo boot screen and it just hangs there. Any tips?

Android: 2.3.6
Baseband: T989UVMC6

Lost Root
I found that I somehow lost my root. I have several root zip files on my device, so I went in to recovery and attempted to flash one of them to gain root. two of the three failed (flash aborted). The third was successful, and I now have superuser in the app drawer. When I open Titanium backup it displays the text "asking for root rights" but it just hangs there.
Here's what I'm wanting to do... perform a complete wipe of the phone and start over, do I odin back to stock and re-root? I want to be able to flash SlimBean 4.3 with minimal slim gapps. So my question is what method do I use to get there, which recovery do I use?
Thanks ahead for any help you can offer.

Use Odin to flash to stock 4.1.2 UVMC6.
To flash a 4.3 ROM you will need the newest CWM or TWRP 2.6.1.0 and newer.
Odin flashable TWRP can be found here
http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hercules
2.6.1.0 is the version I recommend.
Thanks meekrawb!
Okay that makes sense. I wasn't getting anywhere so I rest the phone back to bone stock using the instructions in this thread.
So now I'm totally stock & un-rooted; Android: 2.3.6 Baseband: T989UVKL1 Kernel: 2.6.35.11 Build: Gingerbread.UVKL1
What's the proper way to get to
stock 4.1.2 UVMC6

I'm no longer rooted at the moment. I've looked around and found this thread but I would need to be rooted first.
Once I get there I should be able to get TWRP 2.6.1.0 using the link provided in the previous post (thank you).

Odin flash this file that mikeyman made to make sure you have the newest firmware:
https://db.tt/sgyIphAD
Then Odin the TWRP tar.
After that, you can flash your ROM and gapps. No need to root first.
