Hey guys hope someone can help me out here. I have been flashing different roms to try them out and am currently running cm7. I have always kept a nandroid backup of my stock sense rom in case anything went wrong or if I had to take the phone back to sprint. However I have somehow managed to erase my back up and want to know where to go to download a stock evo rom. Apologies if this is a stupid question but I'm still in the process of learning.

Check out the sprint lovers rom in the dev section. Im mobile so I can't link it.

Right on for this hint. Do you know if I will be able to receive ota updates from sprint with this rom, like when gingerbread is updated to evo.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You will not get OTA updates, but can reasonably expect rooted 2.3 Sense ROMs here on XDA within a couple hours of the official release. If you do get an OTA update notification in Sprint Lovers it will get rid off root if you upgrade. The phone will still be S-off so it should be easy to go back.
This is as close to stock as you can get while maintaining root privileges. This is a rooted stock rom that has NOT been deodexed.

So i uninstalled CM6, and installed the stock 1.47. RUU I do not have root access now because i want to install the stock 2.2 Froyo. Is it okay that i still have AR as my recovery installed for my recovery? Also, if i was to nandroid to restore CM6 would it go back to being rooted?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If you flash the 2.2 that just came out, you're in no mans land since you'll be flashing a unrooted froyo.
In other words, you will lose root which also means that you not be able to nandroid back..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Having AR as your recovery image should be "okay" although it may get overwritten by the update, or at least locked out by a new HBOOT. If that happens, you wouldn't be able to access your nandroid backup anyway.
So, broken record time: Don't update if you don't want to lose root. Wait for a rooted ROM or a proven root method to be released.
I don't mind that. I'll wait for a root. Will it get rid of AR recovery as well. I installed stock Rom as said. Just want to make sure the recovery and everything else will be gone.

If you flash the RUU then it will bring "everything" back to stock.

If you want to keep your apps download and run titanium backup. Do a full wipe and clear cache. Install your Rom and afterwards reload titanium backup and install your missing apps. I am running virus sense 4.2 and it runs great. You Shouldnt have any trouble.
Edit...
I do not use Rom manager because I prefer psfmod recovery.
Are you fully rooted with s off on the boot loader?
Before flashing any Rom make a nanroid just incase something goes wrong
PhantomHacker said:
I am considering flashing to virus Rom. I have a few questions first though.
I rooted with unrevoked, will I be fine?
When I flash will my apps be there if I saved them to the SD card?
Is Rom manager good to use?
Is there anything else I should know before I root.
Thanks in advance

So you are or are not rooted first you said you rooted with unrevoked then at last you ask if there is anything else you need to know before root. Moving on if you are rooted go to the market and download titanium backup use the batch option to save all your apps then after you flash new room use batch to restore all apps I'd you are not rooted you will lose your apps there are apps in the market like app monster that let you back up apps but you will lose your link to the market. Unrevoked will be fine that's whati used as long as its compatible with your phone if already rooted your good. Room manager is good if you use clockwork recovery. Its only compatible with clockwork. You should look up his to back up rsa keys very important if you want 4g. Always backup your phone before you do ANY Mods this will save you allot of heart ach. And last try not to offer money this can be bad In the end but up to you and I don't want any just want to help

As long as you do not flash a the wimax radio you should never worry about this. But you should back it up just incase.

I've been searching and have yet to find a complete guide or one stop shop for unrooting and putting back to factory. I'm rooted with beastmod, synergy kernel, and cwm recovery. I do not have a stock .tar or nandroid backup. Can anyone help with providing instructions on how to do this? I want to be unrooted, stock rom, and stock recovery. Basically like how it was out of the box.

I just bought my SGS3 yesterday and still going under battery calibration, first cycle. Question is should I wait to complete the battery calibration before rooting or go ahead and root?
I'm coming from a Vibrant, so I know about rooting, just don't know if its a better idea to get the calibration done right first before rooting.
I would just go ahead and root it. I rooted mine on like the 2nd or 3rd day

I honestly think all that batt calibrating is bogus. The new batt will get better thru every cycle. Just my 2cents

I never calibrate my battery anymore because its been said it doesn't do anything and I didn't notice any difference when I used to

I just rooted my phone anyways! Ah, I guess I have been misinformed and been trapped in my old ways, Vibrant ways. lol. Had another question, will removing any of the T-Mobile crapware mess with the full functionality of the stock rom? I remember for the vibrant, removing certain apps caused the phone to force close repeatedly and crashed the phone.
Flash a debloated rom and you should be fine.

I wanted to keep it stock rom because those debloated roms look like they are the previous OS versions? I bought my phone with the OTA update that everyone seems to be talking about now and how some kernels don't work well with the new OS update

Apps safe to remove and follow into the thread, a couple of good spots to remove .apk with no harm to the system in other threads.
I nandroid my stock and did a android of a stock debloated. Always keep them on my sd, then flash away so I can come back.

Is it safe to remove with Titanium Backup or would Root Explorer be best?
Edit:
Nvm, I think Titanium will be more user friendly I'll use Root Explorer for other stuff.
I've used both...

Follow up, but kind of on point, is there a way to obtain root without wiping everything?
Like, I set up the phone, go for a week, then decide I want root.

You don't need to wipe anything before rooting. You just need to make sure you back up your stuff in case the worst of the worst happens.

What if you're doing it through Odin?
** EDIT ** Meaning, flashing a stock rom with root injected in Odin.

Hello,
Sprint is my carrier.
Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710
Older phone on build JZO54k.L710VPBMD4
V 4.1.2
I see a lot of outdated root guides on the internet. Can someone please tell me which method still works. Not sure of CF Auto Root. Previous phone was HTC Evo 4g that I rooted.

i dont manually root anymore these days...
i odin.
i use this rom option and i use odin to flash.
[LINK][ROM][ODIN][TAR]SPH-L710 MD4 (MD4 Modem/Kernel/ROM - Stock)
i really like the self packed odin exe packages.
This is one of the best two ways to root. Easiest simplest and fail safe. Stay away from kits everything goes wrong, wifi and data can break..

Good morning,
I rooted with the method that edfunkycold suggested above. Like I said things have changed dramatically since my Evo 4g on the rooting/rooted front. So I am still considering myself a noob. I flashed TWRP instead of CWM as I used CWM before and TWRP sounded interesting.
Here's my issue and I have searched the internet to no avail. I want/need to do a complete nand backup before flashing anything but wimax is not listed in TWRP backup. Am I missing something? Please help.
Also, I know I can flash within TWRP from the list of compatible roms but are those the only roms available for me since I TWRP'd?
Thanks!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Wimax? You don't have a wimax phone anymore you have an LTE phone. just reboot into recovery click on backup and create a nandroid keep in mind a TWRP nandroid can not be restored with CWM or visa versa.
Do not download or flash any rom through an app first warning I will share with you. Do not flash from listed roms in TWRP. If you don't find the rom in the XDA Sprint S3 Development Section do not flash it. Or you risk owning a 600 dollar brick. Find the rom and download it from its source. At first I suggest you stick to TW stock based roms. Until your comfortable flashing and using your phone.

Much appreciated. So do you use goo manager? Sorry that's the app I was referring to..

No don't use any of those apps to download roms. Your risking it. Search XDA threads Sprint S3 Development Section only.
Do it on your computer or the xda app or Tapatalk app to find the correct threads.
