Revert back to 1.47.651.1 from 3.26.651.1

I (prematurely) update to the leaked version of the Android 2.2 release. I would like to revert back to 1.47.651.1 so I can install Cyanogen 6 Mod. I am fairly new to working with Android ROMs, but I have tried several things.
1.32.651.1 and .6 RUU's do not work. I get "ERROR [140]: Bootloader Version Error".
1.47.651.1's RUU, refuses to see the phone getting "ERROR [171]: USB Connection Error".
I tried multiple "update.zip" files to no avail. I constantly get "signature verification failed" when I try and revert back to these files (renamed as update.zip):
Supersonic_1.32.651.6_rooted.zip
Supersonic_1.32.651.1_rooted.zip
Evo-Froyo-2.2-Rooted-Stock-Odexed-netarchy-signed.zip
I've also tried PC36IMG.zip and receive a "Main Version Older. Update Failed" error.
Is there any way to revert back to 1.47/1.32.xx or am I stuck on this half-baked version of Android?

quite sure there is no root method for the ota update at the moment.
should have read the post saying to wait for root.
last but not least WRONG SECTION POST THIS IN Q AND A
ROFL 100th one today prob

This belongs in Q&A but...
Did you use the rooted or unrooted OTA update?
If you flashed the rooted version you're screwed until someone roots it.
If you flashed the unrooted version, just reboot into recovery and restore the nandroid I'm certain you made before flashing an updated ROM.

Here's another thread about this problem (also in Development)
Once on 2.2, no root...

If you flashed a rooted version of the latest leak I don't think you should have any problems...
I has Fresh 3.0b2 on my phone (based off of newest OTA, but rooted of course) and I just re-flashed the latest CM6 nightly

Just a heads up, for the sake of confusion. I think you got the rooted and unrooted mixed up....
If you flashed the rooted version, you should be able to restore. If you flashed the UNrooted version, you have to wait for a Root method to be found.

Why flash why are you not doing a nandroid when you flash bell cw ask u and then it restores it just the way it was u know like using ghost on a pc

except that nandroid or not, you flash the UNROOTED OTA you are screwed for now. your nandroid will be there, but it won't be doing much for you if we can't root the new OTA.

Sorry about the wrong section; I was reading under development and I didn't think to switch.
Now just out of plain curiosity, how come the stock RUU will not work? I understand it is a different bootloader version, but doesn't it just install over it?

It doesnt work because HTC is not ****ing retarded. If they allowed it to work, what would be the point of them fixing the exploits that allow root?

The last two OTAs have come with bootloaders that have a concept of a minimum version requirement. It's a method to avoid downgrading. Despite the old OTA being "stock" or "official" or whatever you want to call it, it's a lower version than the minimum your current bootloader requires, meaning it would be a downgrade.
Sorry man, you're gonna have to sit tight while some nice dev bails you out.

Thanks for explaining. I don't mind waiting, I under stood the risks. Only thing is that I didn't quite understand how this part of it worked. Thanks for the explanation.

I'd like to know that as well.

Permission denied when running flash_image through adb.
Does not seem to work on 2.2 FroYo OTA

So if you flashed a rooted rom you can just revert with a NAND backup. Are there any other ways to revert back to a previous version?
Also lets say you go from the currently 2.2 roms back to 1.47, can you then turn around and revert to stock?

If you are rooted, you can do whatever. You can find a zip file of the original rom and just flash it from recovery. I'm not sure if it is possible to downgrade your radios when (I've never tried), but it probably is.

The stock 2.2 rom removes the custom recovery, so you cant use nandroid to revert.

Evo root 2.1 to 2.2

I havean evolution that was rooted with 2.1. I am wondering if I can just put a 2.2 rom on it or should I unroot, update to 2.2 then reroot?

Why would you possibly want to un-root?

Just boot into recovery, do a nandroid backup, then a full wipe and flash the new ROM.

Dang auto-correct...no evolution, just an evo...thanks...that's what I thought

Also, i am wondering if i can put the newest official rom on it while its still rooted so it will be stock 2.2 apart from being rooted, and if not, what is the closest to stock 2.2 rom that runs stable and isnt missing anything. Im doing this for a friend and he wants stock 2.2 with root access

Well the general rule for root users (and soon to be root users) is never take the unrooted OTA update from Sprint until an official root method for it has been confirmed. That said, I've read in another thread that Unrevoked 3.21 (or whatever the newest version is) apparently worked perfectly for at least one person.

[Q] Restore stock Sense 2.2 from Cyanogenmod

I rooted with unrevoked and installed Cyanogenmod 6.0.2. I am having issues with my camera not being found and calls saying they are dropped, but then the person is still on the line. What's the easiest way to return to stock Sense 2.2? I did not do a nandroid backup. Thanks in advance.

Might be an easier way, but section 6 of [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=760306]this guide[/URL] will return it to stock 2.1 and you're just an OTA away from 2.2.

I never changed the radio image when I rooted and installed cm over stock 2.2. Can I just flash the stock OTA that I downloaded?

Probably. My phone came with stock 2.1, so that's where I focused my research putting me back at. I never looked into the 2.2 OTA image, since I could download it OTA easily and that way I know it hasn't been tampered with.

dont really have to re-root just find a rom you like, wipe everything(data,dalvik,cache)2x min and install the new rom from recovery. bunch of good,stable roms in the dev section to choose from.

sweet!...do I download rommanager in order to update to the latest recovery or do I have the latest?
Just making sure so I don't screw anything up. once I flash another rom I will make a backup of it.
also I heard you can't root the latest sprint 2.3 update, anywhere that I can find sprints 2.2 RUU incase anything happens?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1133379
download 4.24.651.1 Odexed,
copy the entire zip file to your root directory on the SD card.
two ways of doing this. you can attempt start the flash through clockworkmod, which is what I did. It should work just fine.
second method is
Install RA Recovery v2.3 through Rom Manager
reboot the phone and hold the I think the down button on bootup. then
everything else should be clear. install the zip and clear the catch. Let phone reboot FULLY DO NOT PULL BATTERY OR ANYTHING.
LET US KNOW. HOWEVER, anyone else have anything to add to my instructions?
oh forgot... make sure you do a full backup using RA recovery... and use the "Wimax RSA Key Checker" by joeykrim BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!

I'll do stock for now, thanks !
found a a deck rom, it worked great on my hero so I'm going to give it a shot on the evo.

just flashed ginger deck, working fine will install rom manager later to update Recovery image. The last thing I'm looking for, is the sprint 2.2 RUU inscase I need to unroot.

Looks like your are on a stock rom, an outdated one to be exact. If you were running a custom rom, it would say it there, like "cyanogenmod".

You dont need any apps to "manage" root.

No difference. Unrevoked was a method used to root Froyo roms, while Revolutionary is the only method that will root newer gingerbread builds.

it says supersonic also ? i just want to update the gingerbread update that keeps popping up and i think if i rooted it myself i would understand it better
and what are these kernels?
and what are the benefits of using diff roms?

EVO is just the marketing name for the phone. It's actually and HTC Supersonic, which is why you see supersonic in phone information.
Different kernels are designed for different roms. There are AOSP kernels for ASOP roms and sense kernels for sense roms. Any ROM you flash will already have the correct kernel built in.
You can browse the dev forums here to find what roms work best for you. Many roms provide the same functionality, but some roms boast extra settings or features that you won't find in other roms.
You really just need to read through these XDA forums and discover what's going to be the best option for you. We can't tell you what roms you will like. However, I do suggest looking at CM7.1 and deck's 1.3 AOSP roms. Both work well and have lots of dev support.

There is no reason to re-root. Just download a few ROMs that look interesting. I am not going to waste time explaining how to flash Roms since there is plenty of info on how to....on here already

Root is Root, only differences are how you go about getting to Root.
There are a number of different Roms available. Each is slightly different. Which one you would ultimately settle on depends on your tastes and needs.
Simply stated the rom is like the image, or body of the vehicle/phone.
the kernel is more the motor. The trick is to find a combination that suits your needs and likings.

And i have learned to stick with one I like and let the dev upgrade it.

OTA?

if iupdate with the OTA
will all, my custom ROM features be gone?

AFAIK you should never update with OTA if you are using a custom rom.

hmm.. iwas just wondering

If you are rooted, and accept an OTA, you will lose root. So no, don't do it.

The OTA will remove root, your custom ROM, etc. etc. etc. and put you at stock 2.3.3, and in order to root that you will have to downgrade back.
Simply put, if you're rooted, flash a pre-rooted OTA ROM, or keep your custom ROM or one of the many based on the new 2.3.4 OTA's. Get all the features and won't lose root.

yea ijuss wanted to knoe what would happen
I've been rooting and modding my phones since
the very first G1 came out still got mine ahah

If you want to update to a ROM based on the OTA, but keep root, you can flash one of the many Pre-rooted OTA builds in the dev section. Or you can always flash a different custom ROM thats based on 2.3.4 also.
