Ok, so I have my EVO that was Simple Stock Rooted to 1.47, I wanted the Froyo update so I unrooted back with the stock HTC RUU exe 1.47.
So now after going into disk mode all of my apk's I had were still on the SD Card including nand etc. should they have been or? I though not so I did a format of the SD Card. I then updated to 2.2 and loving it so far
Now I guess my question is how to re root..do I use that "odexed" that is out or what? Any help appreciated
Can't root until someone finds a root method. Could take months.

I doubt it'll take months...
But yeah. You screwed yourself. Should have just flashed a rooted 2.2 ROM.
Nah, Im good, not worried about the root, I wander if I even need to be. I really only used like a couple of applications that need root so.. but just wandering,
What is this all about then
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743352
HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.36.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed
That is what you were supposed to flash instead of unrooting and upgrading. That was your chance of getting Froyo for now.
anybody now to downgrade 2.2 back to stock 2.1, i found som info but refers to the nexus 1. it advices to unlock the bootloader by flasing a .zip file (goto androidtechnical.info and get the passimg.passion_.zip file load it to your sd card root name it passimg.zip (just one zip ext) and flash wahla)
I was wondering if i can apply this to my EVO and be done with it?
just flash to 2.1 rom.
whats your reason?
Downgrading will only be possible once it has been determined how to root an unrooted 2.2 EVO. That is not possible, at-the-moment. We will just have to wait....
if you aren't rooted currently there is no way to downgrade or root 2.2.
so in short you are stuck at stock 2.2 until the amazing devs figure out a new bug to exploit to provide root.
but just to confirm, if i'm rooted since day 1(original 2.1 root) and i installed a rom from XDA(OMJ's 2.2 froyo) i can downgrade simply by installing his older 2.1 rom right?

Not sure if you can flash a 2.1 OMJ over a 2.2 OMJ (or similar) becasue I haven't done it ( I don't think you can), but if you run simple root again (or do Toastcfh's part 2 manually) and load the engineering build, you should be able to again flash a 2.1 to downgrade...Same idea as what you need to do to downgrade in order to flash a RUU if you have to send your phone back for any reason...

i tryed that, Froyo locked up my bootloader. I have too many issues with 2.2 for my taste. I want to go back to a rooted 2.1 and flash a custom Froyo Rom

yes! this is what I want to be able to do. having an original 2.1 root allows you to flash any ROM Sprint Stock or ortherwise, its almost like changing skins but your base never changes. The only time things change permanently is when you do an UPDATE. Doing an UPGRADE only brings the eye-candy that only a custom ROM can provide.
Hi I installed the rom from here: [ROM] Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROM - xda-developers, and i was wondering what is the easiest possible way to regain warranty. I rooted with unrevoked3 on a mac. Thanks in advance.
Oh and I'm on Telus
You can downgrade and root here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=768256

What he said.
Then you will be on stock 2,1 without root GL
How do i make a goldcard though, im on a mac btw.
Desire is currently rooted and S-OFF'ed. Is it possible to "debrand" this way? Also this means I'll get the GB update (as I'm pretty sure VF won't release an update)
Thanks for any potential advice guys

It works on me.
I bought last year a HTC Desire from Vodafone, and rooted + S-OFF and i flash ruu for europe froyo 2.29.405 and now i`m expecting gingerbread.
Same think i made when i expect froyo update.

Yes, you can. But you need goldcard to avoid cid error and furthermore, you will loose root access and s-off. So imho it is easier, to flash one of the many custom sense roms with gingerbread you can find here. On this way you won't loose root access and s-off status, but you will have a gingerbread sense rom (which is what you want I guess).
or is there a easy way to unroot? I rooted via unrevoked......

There is no easier way to unroot as flashing a ruu, imho.
Swyped from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
Ok so I guess if I flash the Voda RUU, the phone will have to do a few updates...... as the RUU is pretty old 2.1 I do believe...
if you instal the Vodafon RUU you will be branded again. And what is the point of unrooting? You can always find a rooted stock Rom, I am sure one will come out as soon as Gingerbread will be released.
And another problem would be if they release the update by IMEI and then if you are not at the original state of your phone you will not get the update even if not rooted.
True, best wait for a stock rooted ROM from here then and flash that via ROM manager

Please do not use rom manager, it is a horrible software which causes many heavy system problems here. Just do it directly from recovery.
Hi Fellow xda.
I have flashed the official Gingerbread ota update ruu to my desire.
After that i realized that i couldnt root or go back to Oxygen rom, now that the hboot version is 1.02
Before i had hboot version 0.93 i think.
I have tried the downgrade to 2.1
and root again with unrevoked.
None of these 2 methods work.
Is there any other way to go back to rooted and custom recovery to oxygen rom or hboot 0.93?.
With oxygen and launcherpro my desire feels faster than stock sense
Anyone else have this problem?
There is currently no method of downgrading the hboot or rooting the official GB RUU.
I guess all you can do is wait until somebody figures a way to root and install custom recovery
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Ops good job I never installed this. I read others having this problem also.
Same situation, precipitaded mself, now can't root and all my backups are Titanium backups, have nandroid backups but can't use them....
damn...
isn't it possible to downgrade hboot?
I am also facing this problem. Is there any solution available now?

No solution - check Alpharev/Unrevoked updates - if there will be a solution, it will probably be in the developement section.
Someone said that they used a Froyo RUU to downgrade then they just rooted. But it didn't work for other people but I think its with a shot. Otherwise you'll have to wait.
Swyped...
Hmmmm...I did not know about this...
I did not flash the RUU directly but tried to flash the rooted or modified ones from this forum...and decided to keep InsertCoin 1.0.9
How did the devs root it then? Perhaps, try asking Baadnewz and/or NeoPhyTe for help, since they have released the rooted official update.
I don't think they rooted it as such, but more of "ported" it. I don't know a thing about rom development but go and ask him.

The difference is that when u run the ruu, it will overwrite ur hboot, ur recovery, ur rom, ecc, everything...So u lost root, because the ruu restore everything as stock.
In particular after run the ruu, the new hboot installed doesn't allow to root again and doesn't allow to change hboot at the moment.
Instead, when u flash the rooted rom based on official gb (u already have root and u don't lost it, simply), the zip contain only the rom part and with inside the super user apk (that allow root permission), so flashing it u will continue to have ur recovery, ur hboot, ur root permissions.
Instead when running the ruu, so u lost root, there is no way to install again a custom recovery and there is no way to push the super user apk into the rom (unrevoked / alpharev doesn't work)..At the moment.
From devs side, create a rooted rom is easy, as they extract from the ruu only the rom and make it rooted pushing in the zip that they are going to create the super user apk and some other tweaks to the kernel as well...All this can be done with the dsixda kitchen
I hope everything is clear now

That you did. There are plenty of threads with that information available.
is there a way to root now?
we should wait?
Okay well then i guess im stuck like others :S
i was just thinking if there was a way to get superuser rights by using the terminal or adb.
i did also try the old root method for the desire that came before unrevoked. That didnt work.
Thank goodness...I was tempted to flash the original RUU...but my stomach told me not to do it...I would have been in the same situation if had flashed it too...
I hope there will be an easy solution in the near future for you guys
@andQlimax: Thanks for the information so...so, I hit the thanks button

That's prob as close as you'll get to the update without flashing the RUU.

Have the same problem as others here. Tried both apk and adb with GingerBreak. No luck
...but I'm trying to play around a bit and got a noob idea to use ARUWizard to flash custom rom. I've extracted RUU 2.29 and RUU 2.3.3 and replaced 2.3.3 rom.zip with the one from 2.29. It didn't work of course as newer version has been discovered but I was wondering if it's possible just to root the standard rom.zip and put it back. Is there any chance that it works?
Have anyone rooted htc desire with Gingerbread RUU update ?
