[Q] help to go from rooted 2.1 > rooted 2.2 please!

Hi Guys,
So I rooted my stock Incredible a few months back using Unrevoked and nandroid backup, and I know 2.2 just finally came out officially.
I've been keeping up with the forums but having a great deal of time figuring out how to upgrade to 2.2 with root. I actually received the notification from my phone that the update was out -- so I downloaded the update via my phone, and while it was trying to upgrade, the phone locked up -- then the update got lost after that and it says my phone is up to date yet I don't have 720p video recording.
I guess my main hurdle is overcoming all these technical speak -- upgrading radio? adb? recovery? kernel? All I want is to do the necessary minimum in order to upgrade from my rooted 2.1 to rooted 2.2.
Would someone please be kind enough to lend a hand? I've looked through "HTC DROID INCREDIBLE helpful/popular threads [LOOK HERE FIRST]" and other threads, but just get lost in the jargon.
Thanks!

These are some instructions I used to do what you want to do. I also added my comments on how I did it later in the posting. Thanks to Heathsrow for his help.

Updating the radio was the scariest part for me cause done wrong and it could brick your phone. Follow the steps slowly and precisely and it should be fine though.

Thread moved to Q&A.

Are you referring to the post by Heathsrow? But those are instructions to go from a Stock 2.1 to rooted 2.2..
I have a rooted 2.1 already. Will it matter?

This is the guide I started checking out last night. Thinking of doing it today!

Make sure you apply s-off before installing 2.2, either the OTA or the RUU otherwise you will not be able to root it without downgrading back to 2.1.

Just wanted to say I followed this guide instead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760306
It's a lot easier. if you're already rooted on 2.1 start on step 9.
You can download unrevoked-forever at the top of the guide and the 2.15 radio.
Just make sure you follow the guide exactly and read the warnings about updating the radio.

NEW Hboot with OTA update Dont root !!!!

Hi all I updated to the OTA 3.29 though sprint this is what I did....
I was rooted but the update unrooted which we all know we were told that.
So I ran this method 1st with the org stock 3.26... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141 that was rooted via unrEVOked 3.21: one-click root for Froyo, no downgrading...
then ran the 3.26 ruu to get the phone back to stock everything when k...
then I did the ota 3.29 update the phone now has the new radio 2.15.00.09.01, hboot 0.97 and prl 1.77. (NICE)
After that I ran this... How to Unroot the EVO in 2 STEPS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=776477, it rooted the phone again... (NICE IT WORKS)
But then I said ok I want to start over just to see if something goes wrong with the phone I will be able to go back to unroot to bring the phone to sprint for repair or replacement and to my surprise (BIG NOPE )
When I try to run http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141 go turn S-OFF back to S-ON it FAILS...
I know the Devs will fix this soon but I just wanted to let everyone know just in case you are thinking of rooting your phone after the NEW OTA 3.29 update that once you root u cant go back.....

run s-on before flashing unrooted rom.

How to root a software 4.22.651.2 HTC EVO Phone???
You are absolutely correct. You have the new OTA update and a root method has not been exploited yet. Unfortunately, you are going to have to wait until the devs have the kernel source to come up with an unlock procedure.

Lol if your on 2.2 your good to root if you did the OTA you will have to wait till a root comes out for it the 2.3.

Almost got it just a couple of questions in root and roms

Hi peeps, been looking around this awesome forum for a couple days and sort of figured it out but I have a couple if questions and thought I would ask first. Well root with revoked unless slcd, is that right? How do I find out what i have?. How to back up my important stuff, is there an all in one or a particular set of actions?. And which rom I want, was looking to get the desire hd rom but does everything work ok? And what's with the radio version?. Sorry for the noobie post but there is that much into coming out of that search bar it's a little overwhelming. Thanx for any help in advance.

You can use unrEVOked to root any Desire, regardless of screen. You can't backup completely until rooted, but once done you can do a Nandroid backup which basically creates a shot of your phone at that point so you can return to it - kinda like System Restore in Windows.
The radio is the equivalent of drivers - it allows Android to talk to the hardware. Always use the recommended radio in a ROM thread until you know what you're doing
However, before doing ANY of that, do the following:
1. Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and take note of the software version
2. Go here and see if there is a file matching your version. If there is, download it and keep it safe as if you ever need to go back to stock you'll need to use it.

Thanx for all the info and help. Will have a crack after work. But be warned I could be back later. Lol

download rom manager, or just search for recovery image in the devlopment thread.
cheers!

oh and there will be an option for you in the recovery menu to make a backup, so dont worry, just remember to always nandroid backup before installing a new rom/kernel etc!

Hi, got the image but revoked is missing a driver, tried looking for it which resulted in me downloading the sdk but revoked doesn't seem to see the driver it wants. Do you know which one it's after? Or where I might get it?

If you haven't already... install HTC Sync (for the drivers)... Just remember to uninstall again before running unrevoked...
This worked for me, hope it helps

Right need some more help. Got the whole thing going but it obviously needed some input which i had no clue about so I proceded to crumble like a school girl thinking I was soon to be the proud owner of a brick lol. So is there a walk through so I know what to press and if it's all going to plan?. Thanx again

[Q] Back to stock

I have read so many different ways to do this that I am confused. I appreciate any assistance you can give....
I used Revolutionary to get S-OFF. Even though I tried CM7 for a while, I restored back to Sprint stock.
I am about to upgrade my phone and give my current EVO to a friend. I have read on this forum how difficult it is to change phone numbers on a rooted phone so I have decided to unroot to S-ON.
Can someone please give me advice on how to proceed.....
Thank you.

Hey,
make sure you search before you post! But here you go! follow these instructions they are really easy and you will be unrooted in no time! I had to do this with my phone to get its issues figured about before the reroot! Just remember if something isnt going right just wait it out never pull the battery of your friend will get a brick!
