He had it deleted because xHausx posted the stock rooted ROM 1st... plus he wasnt feeling well.. there are the odex and de-odex versions up

thanks man....i should know this but I dont...whats the diffetence between the two? again ty

one more thing...im so confused I dont know where to start if I want to try this...im on konis e3 if that helps...again thanks, if u dont want to help and give a walk thru I understand

The deodexed version is themeable, the odex version has a slightly faster boot time and uses less space in system. That's the quick and dirty answer, anyway. If you want to modify it at all, flash the deodexed version, otherwise just flash the odexed version.
You're going to flash it the same way you'd flash any other rom. Follow the directions in the thread, I'm not sure if you'll need to flash the updated radios, etc. If you don't know how to flash a rom - I know you have a custom rom installed, but a lot of people have someone else root/flash for them - there should be a walkthrough floating around somewhere. If you need help or just want clarification, shoot me a pm. I have a fairly lengthy write up on everything to do with rooting/flashing/recovery/etc, I'd be happy to send you that or help you out.

The wimax, prl, and radio are optional; they will update what the are supposed to. You'll only brick your phone if you do a battery pull/battery dies during an update of the radio. You don't have to update any of those if you don't want to, but just wipe the cache and dalvik, then flash if you want to.

thank man...whats the benefit of updating those, which kernal should I use andwhats I hear its sense 1.0?
arent we on like 2.0 something?

Nothing really besides having an updated connection possibilities...PRI can affect your battery, but if its good, no need to change it. Yea, its sense 1.0, and there are sense 3.0 roms out there.

why would an upgrade downgrade like it did? whar the difference between 3 and 1¿

Update the Wimax radio it helps. For example at my house before the update I was not able to get any Wimax signal. But after the update I now get between one bar. Better then nothing I guess haha

You have to be using a deodexed ROM, I'm using the deodexed stock 2.2 from steelh and it was a piece of cake to change this. Just put it on the sdcard and flash it like you would a rom.

Correct, you have to be using a deodexed ROM.

Sweet thanks... last question... running this.. will it wipe my phone? As in factory reset it basically?
Thanks again
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The battery mod wont delete anything and the ROM wont delete your sd card but it will start up like a brand new phone afterwards. Just use Titanium backup to backup all your apps and it can reinstall them all for you afterwards.
Okay so the Rom will reboot phone like new(factory reset).. and have to redo settings and apps... thanks...

You flash it, of course.
As I mentioned in one of my earlier posts, I am a total nube at all this, I don't think I'm even sure what it means to flash it. I'm only interested in fresh because from my understanding, it contains the latest OTA for my evo. Please correct me if I'm incorrect, I welcome as much help as I can get. I appreciate it guys.

If you don't know what it means to flash, then you need to do some serious research.
And don't come asking simple questions that you can very easily answer yourself by browsing through the forum, searching the forum, or googling your question. If you do, you're gonna get flamed by a lot of people.
Funny you would mention that, I was just researching it for myself. Thanks for the warning.... Appreciate it.

You don't need to be running any of those unless the ROM your going to flash is based off of those and can't be used with EC05.
You will be fine just following the one click root thread

Just to clarify, EC05 is the latest official modem version of software. E being for the year 2011, C for the month March and 05 for the 5th day. The DK28 and EB13 are older modems and versions of software.

In addition, just so you're not surprised if you see it there is another modem (EE03) that some ROMs recommend you flash. I have it on my phone and works great

Glad it works for you. I get no 3G. Icon on but no network and then it kills the battery. EC05 is best for 2.2 for my area.

I'm not entirely sure.
But odex is basically stock, and deodexed is having removed all of the files with the ".odex" extension.
And most themes require deodexed roms
no problem

you wont be able to update just the sense part of your 2.3.4. you will need to download a custom ROM that has sense 3.0 or higher already built into it.
then will i have to re-root? Do you know of such a rom?

Why bother with the OTA? It breaks recovery. Just flash an EI22 ROM. Flash the EC05 to EI22 modem delta if you want that.
Do you have a stock one you recommend? I am looking for as close to what sprint has released as I can. I found the modem, just need the rest of gingerbread now.

Clean GB would be basic. I think the links are still up for the ACS deodexed ROM stock from the OTA. It basically had the GPS fix in it. I am on Legendary 4.01 and it is awesome.

If you mean you can flash a GB ROM from EC05 then yes or if you mean the EC05 modem works on GB ROMs then also yes. There is a EC05toEI22 modem delta flashable in the Development forum stickies.
Found what I needed from kennyglass 123
One click roots do not work on Gingerbread. It would have been easier to flash a GB prerooted ROM while still on Froyo like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=deodexed+EI22
Now that she did the OTA you will need to follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=root+OTA+EI22
I got gingerbread loaded I will look into the modem and the gps fixs later.
Thanks guys for your help!
