Search the market for Rom Manager. Please make sure your phone is fully rooted, (S-Off).
I hope this helps you bub.

Yeah, you need to be rooted AND S-Off. If you don't know, you can verify S-Off by powering down, then holding the volume down button while pressing the power button. When the screen comes up, there will be some text, and one of the lines at the top will say S-Off or S-On.

Go to market and download ROM Manager to get ClockworkMOD recovery flashed on your phone. Go to the dev section and choose a GB ROM, I suggest RMK's Virtuous G-Lite 1.0.2 as it is overclockable via SetCPU to 1.5GHz and is AOSP GB.
As posted above, make sure you have root and S-OFF as this will ensure that you are set for flashing roms.
To flash is simple, not sure if you have flashed before so I will post this anyways.
Download the rom you want to try and place in the root of your sd card. Once you have CWM flashed, use ROM Manager to boot into recovery. Go to backup/restore and perform a backup of your current setup. Then go to wipe and wipe data, cache and battery stats. After, head to flash zip from sd and select the rom zip, let it do its thing and you should be in business! First boot is always longest and should always perform a cold boot after a flash to settle things down before you use it.
Have fun!

[Q] is it possible?

I have the Evo, release day model, I believe that's the one without the Epson screen, and I'm rooted running 2.2 official release clockwork. Is it possible for me to remove the FPS cap on the screen without flashing another Rom? If so, can somebody also supply the downloads and instructions for it? Or just a link to another post. Please and thank you.
You can flash a custom kernel, otherwise your stuck with the cap. Sorry, can't post a link, I'm out and about posting from my phone. Go to the evo wiki for kernel choices. And don't forget to do a nandroid backup before you give it a go.

Search the Development section.
I tried making a NAND backup using Rom manager but it just reboot me into hboot and when I reboot back to normal and open up the app again it says failed. Can't remember if I already mentioned this but 2.2 rooted via unrevoked3 to unrevoked forever to stock 2.2 clockwork
Why dont you go through hboot then? Phone off power + volume button down till you get hboot up. Wait till scans. Go to recover and then nand backup. Can go back to Rom manager and change the name.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
When I go into hboot and then recovery it doesn't give me any option for NAND. It just tells me I'm in fastboot and gives me the options of bootloader, reboot bootloader, reboot, and shut down I think. I'll have to check that again but I'm pretty sure that's what the options were. I'm sorry if I'm not to well informed about this.

Rooted Evo 2.1 to rooted 2.2 ??

I am a bit confused about what to do now. First off.. I have the Evo rooted with OS 2.1 but recently I just found out that 2.2 has been rooted. So now I just need to know what to do to get rooted 2.2. I read on some searches I did that I can just flash a 2.2 rom and that would be fine but I am a little concern about doing it that way. I was wondering if I need to UNROOT then download the over the air update that sprint has to get 2.2 then start my root process from there or is there a guide that someone can link me to in order for me to proceed? Thanks for your input.
Just find a rooted stock rom in the Development forums (or experiment with a custom rom. There are several that don't lose any functionality these days). Do a nandroid backup, and a Titanium backup of your apps and data before since I think you will need to do a data and dalvik cache wipe.
The alternative you proposed would probably take you all day and it would still wipe!
Think of it this way. All of the 2.2 ROMS you flash is just like an upgrade from Sprint. If you flash the 2.2 OTA ROM its the same thing as getting from Sprint, but you don't lose root user access. Hope this clears it up a little. No need to jump through all the hoops you referenced.
So its has been a while since I did anything with my phone so I had to youtube how to flash a rom. When I get to the part where I select recovery it goes to a screen with a phone image with a red ! mark on it. What does that mean? Maybe I might just take path of unrooting this 2.1 and upgarding to 2.2 then root from there? Can someone direct me which steps to take? thanks
Whatever you do.....DON'T FLASH YOUR RADIO AND WIFI. You'll be screwed. Has taken me 24 hours + to get my ability to tether wirelessly back on my rooted 2.2 (I'm not complaining. the rooted 2.2 ROM is freagin awesomeness!)Just in case you do by accident there's lots of info out there on how to try to dig yourself back out.
Don't unroot your 2.1 dude.
ROM's are ROM's. It doesn't matter if it's 2.1 or 2.2, you can flash either one and flash back and forth between the two at your own leisure. Back before 2.2 was officially out for the evo, I used to flash back and forth between working 2.1 and experimental 2.2 on almost a daily basis. They always booted fine, my phone did not explode.
Reboot with volume key down, select recovery, wipe everything, flash the new rom, reboot.
You don't have a custom recovery installed, do you remember if your NAND is unlocked?
If you need to check turn off your phone and then turn it back on while holding the volume down button. At the top of the screen it should say either S-ON or S-OFF and below it an hBoot version. If it is S-OFF and ver .76 it should be simple for you to update it.
Thanks for the input guys. So I guess the final word is to not unroot my phone and just flash. Now to my problem with recovery mode.
Haus, it says S-ON and hboot is veryson 0.79.0000. Is this a problem? Can you guide me on what steps to take or what should i search for? thanks again.
still wasn't able to find information on this. anyone can link me? thanks
can anyone link me to where i should start?
well your going to want to make sure you have a custom recovery, when your in the bootloader scroll to recovery and click on it, if anywhere it says clockwork or amon ra, your set and then you only need to flash unrevoked forever to turn your s-off and then you can start flashing 2.2 roms from the htc evo android development section
if you do not have a custom recovery just head on over to unrevoked.com and download their latest for the evo, it will give a custom recovery and flash your s-off for you and youll be ready to roll
I tried and the problem I am having is when I select the recovery option it reboots and then shows a phone with the ! sign. Doesn't let me flash anything. This is where I am stuck now.
As mentioned before, you need to install a custom recovery on your phone. If you are rooted, then perhaps you can download ROM Manager and installed ClockworkMOD?? You can also change to Amon_RA as well through ROM Manager. Otherwise, in the unrevoked forever wiki, they do provide PC36IMG files that should install a custom recovery on your phone (take your pick of either ClockworkMOD or Amon_RA).
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever#reinstalling_an_official_recovery
Scroll down to "Reinstalling an official recovery" section and you will see the links for the PC36IMGs.
Alright so I just remembered what that phone icon with the red ! meant. I plugged it back into my win7 machine and ran windowrecovery.bat and I somehow managed to flash it to s=off. So now all I have to do is select the rom I want to flash?
Rom manager
if you have a custom recovery, then yes download a rom from the development section and move it to the root of the sd card. Boot into recovery and wipe your dalvik and data. Go bac and choose install .zip from sd card. Find the file you downloaded and flash it. Wait for it to boot up and your good. Orrrrr download rom manager from the market and you can do all this from there.

I'm really not sure what exactly you were trying to accomplish, as unrevoked provides full root. What root method were you trying to follow?
Anyways, now you need to flash a PC36IMG of a recovery image,.using the bootloader. I'd link you to one, but I'm on the Xda app. Once you get recovery flashed, you can reflash a rom of your choice.

It was the semi root one, im pretty sure cause my evo wouldnt let me run some FULL root access apps like titanium back up and such, how would i flash a recovery image? my phone is stuck at the htc evo 4g boot screen, i can get to the bootloader and it trys (everytime) to to install the PC36IMG and it doesnt work :/
What was the PC36IMG you tried to flash? And where did you try to flash it - the bootloader or recovery? You're saying that it didn't flash successfully, correct?
If all you need is your recovery back and everything is fine, you just need to flash Clockwork again. You can do this through the bootloader or by downloading Rom Manager and choosing "flash ClockworkMod Recovery".
If you want/need to flash through the bootloader, first delete the PC36IMG on your SD card then download the one of CWM that I'll link you to. Put it on the root of your SD card and power down the phone. Boot into the bootloader by holding the volume down button and power button simultaneously. It should check for the PC36IMG and ask you to update. Choose yes, then no when it asks you to reboot. Choose recovery from the menu and you should boot into ClockworkMod. If you don't need to do anything recovery related, just choose to reboot from there.

Sorry, I missed the action. I was typing on my phone and cleaning at the same time
If your phone won't boot, you'll need to wipe cache, dalvik cache and data then flash a new rom. You can try just wiping cache and dalvik then rebooting to see if that will help, but it probably won't.
EDIT: It could've been that you needed busybox and you really were fully rooted. Did the bootloader say s-off before all of this? If it did, you've been nand unlocked all along.

Ok I have the Clockwordmod working thank you, Phone still wont boot, Im guessing cause it Doesnt have a rom to boot, Idk how to install roms either sadly .
So I think I need a rom to install from zip, but idk how to get a rom thats worth trying to install, last time i tried to install it cam up with :
"Amend Scripting is no longer supported"
"Please switch to edify scripting"
-Steps into the fray-
1. Place the attached file on your sdcard, then boot into the bootloader [vol+down while phone is booting up] let it scan, the apply update., reboot, reboot into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3 You got the error cuz CWM 3.0+ doesn't support amend scripting [old], only supports edify [new].
As for a rom, I'd recommend CM7.
> http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic download a version from there
> http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/ download the gapps here
In recovery, wipe your factory/data, cache, and dalvik. Install rom, select the CM7 you downloaded, go back, wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the gapps, then reboot.
Ok Following the latest post's steps and I'm Installing cm7 now thank you people so much for the help so far, ill let you know if everything goes well.
Never a problem, were you in good hands long before I got here.
Nice Rom, Everythings back to normal and its really cool, Thank you guy's for all the help
Glad we could all help.
Before i end this lol, is there anyway for 4g on cm7?
Settings > CM Settings > Interface > Notification Power widget
scroll down to mobile data [3G], then wimax is 4G, select both [and whatever else you want] and then you can toggle it from the notification.

[Q] I know you guys get sick of helping noob but I just rooted and need help!

I have been wanting to root and try a custom rom but I was scared of brick. Anyway I finally rooted with Unrevoked 3.3 which installed Clockwork recovery also and after that I installed rom manager. When I went to do a backup of current rom it said I need to install Clockwork recovery first but its there already. I know there is guides everywhere but thats the problem not sure which to use to learn what to do before I try flashing new rom. What about kernel I really don't understand where to go from here. I am rooted and Clockwork recovery flashed but don't know where to go from here. I am not a idiot just a little guidance please! I really want learn process of installing new and restoring old roms with my Evo. How do I know what other updates need to done before using a certain rom like kernel and radio? Thanks Alot To Anyone That Can Help A Fellow Android Lover!
You try reflashing clockwork recovery?

No I just cheked to see if I could boot to recovery with vol/power buttons and seems fine Clockwork Recovery is there. So I should just let Rom Manager try to install Clockwork Recovery again? What would be my steps to installing new rom after I get rom manager to backup current rom? Thanks Alot!
Well first backup your rom and wimax keys and then go to the xda android development section and download a rom, clear cache /dalvik/ and I think its system restore something like that..I don't use cwr

Sent From My Evo4G Running Sense 3.0
First of all, if you're certain that your recovery is installed, then you need to decide what rom and what type of rom you want to install? For instance, do you want a Sense based rom (the HTC overlay that your EVO came with) or an AOSP rom (Pure Android like on the Nexus)? For a sense based rom, I suggest Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS-5. You can see photos of it as well as download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471 and for an AOSP rom, I suggest Salvage-Mod 1.2.1. It can be downloaded from here: http://www.salvage-mod.com/node/4. Make sure you download the Google Applications from the same page. Whichever you decide to flash or any others, put them on your SD card. Now shutdown your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. There will be a short pause and then a few lines of text will scroll across the screen. Afterwards, you will see a set of options. One of the options will be "recovery". By the way, look at the top of the screen and make sure it displays "S-OFF". If it displays "S-ON", you are not rooted. Anyway, select recovery. Your phone will vibrate and display a white EVO screen and then boot into recovery. Your recovery should be ClockworkMod. Go into the backup menu and select nandroid backup to make a backup of your current setup. You can always restore your device to the way it was if you don't like your new roms, mods, themes and kernels. After you've made your backup, go to the wipe menu and wipe everything except the SD card. After that, go to the flash zip menu and flash the rom you want to try. After it's finished, it should prompt you to reboot. Do so and be patient. You will appear to hang at a couple of places. Be patient. Let it finish. Be patient. Do not pull the battery. Be patient. After some time, you will see your rom's splash screen and then your new homescreen. If it is a sense based rom, go to menu-settings-system updates and select update profile after you've signed in with your Google credentials. Enjoy your new rom.

What's going wrong?
If you just want the stock rom, but still be rooted you can either a) restore from your nandroid backup, assuming you made one; or b) flash the stock rooted rom.
If you want to unroot, you need to flash the s-on zip in recovery, then run the RUU from your computer or flash a PC36IMG of the RUU through the bootloader.
I'll elaborate more when you tell me what you've done so far and what you're trying to achieve - stock rooted or unrooted.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
Download the latest stock rom. Can be found at shipped-roms.com, or in the MANY stickies and threads here. Place the zip on your sd card, along with the s-on tool.
Reboot to recovery, flash s-on, then flash stock rom zip.

Make sure that in your attempts to go back to stock, you didn't go s-on. Boot into the bootloader and see if it says s-on or s-off at the top. You can do this by holding the volume down button and power button simultaneously until the phone turns on (you must have the phone turned off first). You'll see a white screen with skating Androids.
If you're s-on, you'll need to run an RUU from your computer or flash a PC36IMG of the RUU through the bootloader in order to get back to stock.
If you're s-off (still rooted/nand unlocked) then you can flash the rooted stock rom that I'll link you to. Download the rom and put it on the root of your SD card (not in any folders). Boot into the bootloader using the directions I gave earlier. Then, using the volume buttons to navigate, highlight recovery and then press the power button to select it. Assuming you're using ClockworkMod Recovery, choose wipe cache, factory reset (it may say something else like wipe data, you should know which one though) and then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. After you've done all three of those, choose install zip from SD card. It's fastest to press the volume up button which will take you to the end of the list - all of your zips will be at the bottom. Highlight the file you just downloaded and press power. Choose yes from the list then let it run its course. When it finishes, select reboot and you will be back on stock.

Go to here and flash any one of the listed roms. These are all of the roms that came shipped with the HTC EVO. I suggest you download the any of the ones with PC36IMG in the file name because they can be flashed.

Holy 4g i did what u said flashed the zip and it did its thing and still came back cyanogen 7. what am i doing wrong anyone pleaseeeee????
i took a whole day trying to figure out how to unroot mine, and i finally got it.
you have to download "unrevoked s-on" put it on your sd card and flash it.
then you have to know which radio your running, so you can know which pc36img to put on your sd card, so when you put it into bootloader it will find it, and run through the checking process, then it will let you apply the update and you will be unrooted.
which radio are you running, and i can help you find which pc36img you need to be using.

Did you go into recovery and wipe cache, data/factory reset beforehand? Check out Guide to Unrooting
