Search for a thread that has posted the stock Rom rooted. If the only reason you are going stock is to upgrade prl,pri then any sense Rom current will work.

If all you're wanting to do is update your PRI/radios, you can just flash the latest radio package found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
If you're wanting to unroot it then http://www.thedroiddemos.com/2010/09/10/how-to-unroot-the-evo-in-2-steps/

You should do a nand backup of your present before you flash the stock rom. If it's the one you originally saved it's probably named supersonic with a version number or something.
I didn't want to risk dealing with otas so I went with a different sense rom to do my updates for profiles and radios. Don't forget gps.
The updates you are doing can only be performed in sense rom but I am pretty sure they remain in effect for all roms installed thereafter. I mean miui is non-sense but the updates you are talking about will have effect without any special "backup."
I'm still not sure if the pri update to 1.9 is wise.

Why is it not wise? Another dumb question do u have to update ur pri/prl to get the latest 4g towers I really just wanted to update them to check if i get 4g where I'm at... thanks and ya sorry about the two post

Can't change roms?

Some reason I tried flashing another rom but it won"t let me and keeps going back to the original rom. I had frankenstein and wanted to check out viper. I dled the viper rom and dropped it into my sd and wiped and did the usual through cwm but everytime i boot back up iot goes to frankenstein.. Any ideas? I even deleted the frank rom just to make sure but that shouldnt make a difference should it?
What version of clockwork? You will need version 3.

yeah that"s the one I got. It says Viper opened and completed but after reboot it reverts back to franken
oh crap you know what. I have v2.5.1. That's the one I got with that 1 click root process. Is there an updated clockwork for the epic?
same thing too
That happend to me to but from mystic mountain to frankenstein. What i ended up doing was odening to stock rerooting and then flashing. You don't even have to wipe because odining it technically wiped it lol.
seems like a lot of work just to change roms. What doesnt make sense is that randyshear from youtube that does a lot of the rom reviews and installs just changes them one after another with his epic. Is there a 3.0 cwm for epic?
There is a new clockwork version for the epic. I am on my phone so don't have the link but it is a post in the development section.

[Q] Updating PRL's on an AOSP rom

Probably a noob question, But how exactly do I do this?
Nandroid back up, flash to sense rom, do the codes/update prl nandroid restore.
Pretty much there is no way except to flash to a Sense ROM and go from there.
I've heard around that it's possible to make PRLs into flashable ZIPs, and if that's true, I'd love for someone to drop me a link to a tutorial so I can add them to ROM Manager. :/
This is the best way to do this. It's kinda of a hassle because PRL's are updated all the time. When you're flashed over on a Sprint sense Rom don't forget update your profile.

[Q] Help Getting the right rom

Ok I have 2 Evo's being shipped out on Saturday. When they arrive I will be flashing them both to MetroPCS. I just need a little guideance on getting the correct rom.
I believe this is the rom im looking for here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182
IF I understand correctly, this rom is 2.3 Gingerbread based and has Cyanogenmod 7. But there is also a sense version I believe, and I HATE HTC sense ui.
What exact steps do I need to take to ensure that I Flash My EVO with a Gingerbread CM7 based Rom that will work perfectly with MetroPCS?
Everyone makes it sound so easy but I must be missing something.....Please help.
Have you rooted? It is actually very easy to flash roms. I don't believe that cynogen has sence. Not a fan of sence either I prefer asop. But once your rooted simply put the zip of the rom on your sdcard. Go to recovery wipe data, dalvic-cache and cache then flash zip from sdcard reboot and enjoy
Edit: don't know about metro.

No I haven't rooted yet. But I am going to. I have to get the phones first. I know how to root it, and provision everything. I just got lost when it came to flashing the rom and How to make sure Im getting the rom I want.

Yes that thread seems to be roms for metro.. Cynogen is not sence. so you should be good to go. When flashing roms just make sure you wipe. Not the sdcard though. Feel free to pm if needed. And hit the thanks if I helped.

Trying to update PRL and profile using CM7.

I have had some signal issues and I am trying to figure out how to update profile and prl. Using CM7 which I know is ASOP is it possible to update without installing a sense rom? If I need to install sense rom does it matter which one? Sorry still learning about custom roms and Android! Thanks!

I'm pretty sure you need to be on a sense rom. Make a nandroid of your current rom, flash a sense rom, update your stuff, and then restore your rom
We're comin from a pure power source.

Correct. Not possible to do it on an aosp rom. If you do what he says you'll be good. And it doesn't matter which sense rom.

I believe the CM team is working on a way to update the PRL and Profiles from CM7, but for now, follow what the other two said.
Keep a nandroid backup of a Sense ROM specifically for this type of thing.
Someone makes flashable PRL/PRI updates, but I don't know anything about it. Do it the correct way, make a backup of your current rom, flash/restore a sense rom [I always keep one saved just for PRL updates], then flash back to CM7; takes all of 5 minutes.
Hey thanks ! Yeah I figured I would have to flash a sense rom. Thanks for info!
Tis never a problem.
I have an evo that is on boost, I flashed cm7, coming from fresh 4.1, I have the prl method down on how to update but how do I keep my current mms settings at mm. my boostmobile .com, it changes it to mms. Sprint pcs .com, is there a root app or emulator I can use to change the script since ##3282# doesn't work with this rom!

I'm so new, but I was able to successfully install the nand GB onto my sprint touchpro 2 - How do you make a backup of the current rom and flash a sense rom to update PRL..? Thanks!

You have to backup your current rom(make a nandroid), then flash a sense rom, upgrade your prl and data profile, then do a restore of your nandroid

The best way is to use the best recovery. Install the smelkus recovery using the instructions here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661543
Then follow these instructions on how to create a nandroid backup: http://evobasics.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_nandroid_backup_with_Amon_RA

[Q] Force Close during PRL Update....

This morning i made the mistake of checking for a PRL update out of Swags-Stock RC1 Rom. I was planning on switching to CM7 and wanted to check the radios just to be sure they were the latest *DUMB*. During the update check i got a force close error. I did not write down what crashed but ever since this force close, i can no longer access the 3g data on any of my nandroid backups. I've restored my stock nandroid and tried to update PRL info out of there and i also tried to push on the latest radio updates. Everything seems to go ok but still no data.... Any thoughts? The 3g symbol is displayed, wi-fi works and i can make phone calls still.
Fixed: I had to try several times, but eventually fixed the issue by one again nandroiding my stock rom backup, rebooting, updating PRL firmware through the stock rom. Back to normal after that
What if you didn't make a stock rom nan? How do you fix?

Go to the dev section, and there are a few threads of just stock rooted roms. Download the firmware to match your bootloader.
