Search for a thread that has posted the stock Rom rooted. If the only reason you are going stock is to upgrade prl,pri then any sense Rom current will work.

If all you're wanting to do is update your PRI/radios, you can just flash the latest radio package found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
If you're wanting to unroot it then http://www.thedroiddemos.com/2010/09/10/how-to-unroot-the-evo-in-2-steps/

You should do a nand backup of your present before you flash the stock rom. If it's the one you originally saved it's probably named supersonic with a version number or something.
I didn't want to risk dealing with otas so I went with a different sense rom to do my updates for profiles and radios. Don't forget gps.
The updates you are doing can only be performed in sense rom but I am pretty sure they remain in effect for all roms installed thereafter. I mean miui is non-sense but the updates you are talking about will have effect without any special "backup."
I'm still not sure if the pri update to 1.9 is wise.

Why is it not wise? Another dumb question do u have to update ur pri/prl to get the latest 4g towers I really just wanted to update them to check if i get 4g where I'm at... thanks and ya sorry about the two post

[Q] Updating PRL's on an AOSP rom

Probably a noob question, But how exactly do I do this?

Nandroid back up, flash to sense rom, do the codes/update prl nandroid restore.

Pretty much there is no way except to flash to a Sense ROM and go from there.
I've heard around that it's possible to make PRLs into flashable ZIPs, and if that's true, I'd love for someone to drop me a link to a tutorial so I can add them to ROM Manager. :/

This is the best way to do this. It's kinda of a hassle because PRL's are updated all the time. When you're flashed over on a Sprint sense Rom don't forget update your profile.

Nandroid Question

Hello everyone, this is my official greeting to start since I am very new to all this rooting and flashing roms business but I am learning (hopefully not the hard way) But I rooted my phone with Unrevoked3 and then I flashed CM7. When they said create a backup, I used TI but did not back up my phone in the recovery screen. I wanted to reflash Sense so I could fix my GPS glitch. But I can not find it. Did I lose all the stock Sense rom that came on my Evo? And if I did, Is there a way to fix it?
I'm sure I'm not the first person to do this but I haven't found a thread to answer my question. All help will be appreciated!! Thank you!

Yes you lost your stock ROM but you can just download a sense ROM and flash that you can also find a stock rooted ROM on this site if you want that
To make a nandroid back up you can either use rom manager app from the market and do it that way or make one from recovery you should have cwm recovery so you might want to use rom manager for now its easy and you can name the backup.
Hope that helps you.
And tb only backs up your apps and data not your system.

Yea, Titanium is ONLY for apps. EVERY rooting and flashign guide tells you to create a NANDROID backup in recovery.

Yes, you can flash a stock rooted rom. They can be found in many of the stickies here. It will flash just like you flashed cm7, except obviously you will be back to factory, i.e. no apps, etc. But BE SURE TO NANDROID BACKUP YOUR CM7 ROM BEFORE DOING THIS.

Yes, you lost your original rom and no,you cannot get it back, however, you can flash an official HTC rom for the EVO. You can download a rooted stock rom from HERE. I suggest the ODEXED version. After you've flashed the rom, go into recovery and make a nandroid backup of it.

Thanks everyone!! I downloaded Speedy's (Misfit's) Sense Rom. I did this time create a NAND of my CM7. Flashed the Sense rom and fixed my GPS glitch that Evo has with CM7 and Im back to normal. Works great! Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and help!

the latest CM7 versions should have fixed the GPS issues..
even with the fix in Sense... and with the latest CM7 version.. I myself still get a few issues here and there with GPS and the applications that use it.
i found it best to download GPS Status from the market which will help in getting the GPS to work... and even with that, sometimes i have to even toggle the GPS off and on to get it all working.
remember.. TI is only for apps.. you make sure and do a nandroid backup thru recovery every time you wanna mess with something.

[Q] Please help an older lady

Last week, I rooted my Sprint HTC EVO 4g using directions I found on this site plus the revolutionary site. All I did was turn S-OFF so I could do wireless tethering with my phone - I did not change the stock ROM - it worked great and I thank you for all you do here.
However, today Sprint sent an OTA update. I know I should not accept it. However, how do I get the update? I have been reading on this forum and I know that the wonderful developers create Sprint stock ROM updates, but I do not know how to choose the correct one and update my stock ROM.
Could someone please advise me on what I should do - or point me in the direction I should go to find out how to get the update?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey,
Yeah you are right about that ota can unroot and damage your phone!
Alright to do this you will need to flash a rom! this link below is a tutorial how to do so! just scroll past all the rooting guide and follow the directions how to flash a rom! Make sure to do a Nandroid first! then wipe your data cache and Davlik Cache!
http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/03/h...flash-new-rom-and-kernel-on-your-htc-evo.html
Then download the rooted o'xed version of the rom and place it on your sd card! and just follow the instructions on how to flash! This is the latest ota of htc sense and it runs great Brad is a great guy and makes great things! and this is just is the stock evo rom with update!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1455340
Tips:
Remember you will loose your data text apps and so forth! so you might want to use titanium back up to save your apps and data first!
Be sure to nandroid
Be sure you wipe!
Have fun good luck and if you need anything pm me!

Don't use rom manager on the evo amon ra and amon RA style recovery are the only ones that work properly when. Wiping cwm doesn't always wipe properly and causes issues and rom manage does not work without cwm recovery

With out clockwork mod recovery rom manager is useless you can't flash or wipe anything with it as it uses cwm to do so, so if you are using amon ra or amon RA style supersonic recovery(my preference) then rom manager becomes useless besides doing it in recovery you're not trusting a script to do it without screwing something up

Its worth noting that the if you want to keep the same sense rom (like the one your have before you root) stevos link to brads page will be the best.
an app that would be worth downloading before you flash a rom if its your first time is titanium back up (and super user assuming you have not installed it already) titanium back up will allow you to save (back up) your apps so when your flash the rom you can reload the apps that you have now onto the new installation. I hope this helped!

Here is a wiki it list stock rom's and costume one's for the supersonic (HTC EVO).

Question about updating profile

Before I backed up my stock rom and flashed my current one (PACman) I updated my profile just to make sure that I was good to go for a while.
Does the profile updates/PRL updates done in stock stay once you wipe everything and flash a new rom? I'm wondering because I don't get quite the signal strength that I did in PACman that I did on stock and I have no way of updating my profile inside of PACman. But, if profile updates don't stick after a wipe, what good does it do to go back & forth?
I really wish a dev would come out with an apk for each major carrier to update profiles.

Yes it does stay. When changing modems you should update again though.

So, just restore back to my stock backup with my current modem and update...then, restore back to my PACman rom backup?

Can't Update Profile
I just recently installed a JB 4.2.2 ROM from rootbox and have been unable to get my profile to update, so in turn have been unable to connect to 3G. When I got to About Phone -> Sprint System Updates the update profile option dials *22805 which never activates my phone. It just dials the Sprint customer support number.

Well, I just flashed my recovery and it won't boot past the S2 logo now. Did I miss something?

Okay, more questions!
I tried restoring my nandroid I made after rooting/kernel/ICS modem and it appears to restore correctly in CWM and then it won't get past the S2 splash screen. I did it first without wiping/factory reset and it was a no go, and then I was duh...and wiped/factory reset then restored the stock nandroid...still no go.
What am I doing wrong? In the meantime, I just restored a PACman nandroid and that went just fine and I can use my phone again.

I've been trying to find the answer myself, but the only thing I've found is that the stock recovery has to be restored on the same version of CWM it was created on. How do I do this since CWM updated itself to v6?

You flashed the EL26+CWM kernel to make the original nandroid correct? then just flash that kernel (with PC or mobile odin, doesn't matter) and then restore the nandroid.
BUT, you can skip this if you want to stay on PACman. @bilgerryan has an app somewhere in the forum that attempts to add the sprint update functionality back in to AOSP. Almost everything is broken (including PRL write and Update PRL OTA), but Profile update works without a hitch.
ALSO, take a look at the gps link in my sig. I have a link in my OP there for how to set up multiboot on the Epic Touch. That way you can multiboot into EL29 to do things like GPS lock, PRL update, Profile update, dialer codes, etc.

Okay. Yeah, i want to stay on PACman but only need to update my profile to help my signal. Okay, I will try to find that app. My PRL is up-to-date so yeah...all I need to do is update my profile, but I'm with Virgin mobile. However, I did flash the FL24 modem (sprint). This will update my profile with VM?

I decided to just try your first fix where I reflash the EL26+CWM5 kernel and flash stock nandroid. After I'm done updating things and want to go back to PACman...I simply reflash the PACman zip (to get back my PACman specific kernel) and once restore flash a backup to get all my apps & things back, right?

Well, that didn't work for me. :/ I reflashed the EL26+CWM5 kernel in mobile odin and then restored the stock nandroid. This gave me the S2 splash screen and just sat there. So, I guess I have to find that app you spoke of.

Okay, I found it, and followed all of the instructions to the "T" and when I click on Sprint System Updates, it simply makes a phone call to Sprint with a voice menu. :/
Update: Okay, I see it is also in the app drawer, but the only thing that currently works is the MSL retrieval.
Sigh...

Download the kernel or the rom and just flash over your restore. Your eecovery is bundled with a gingerbread kernel. So the backup you made is trying to run a gingerbread kernel. Wont work. If you flash the rom over your nandroid it will boot. You will have all system setting restored though. It sucks. But it worka.

I'm feeling a bit dumb now...
I don't quite understand the first part of what you are saying. I do understand that my nandroid cannot run without the GB kernel I made it with. So, I did reflash the GB kernal with mobile odin and then went into CWM and restored the nandroid...still didn't work.
Am I misunderstanding?

Yes. After restoring the nandroid flash whatever rom you were on again. Do not wipe. So I believe you are restoring pacman. After your restore pacman. Use the same recovery, and flash the same pacman rom again. Basically you just need the pacman kernel. Not sure if there is a aseperate kernel somewhere. But flashing the rom over top without wiping anything will restore the kernel back to what its supposed to be.

Oh. Hmmm. But I made the stock nandroid with the EL26 kernel. I don't need that one in order to successfully recover my stock nandroid?
I think we are talking about two different things. I am NOT able to restore my stock nandroid. It gets stuck at the S2 splash screen.

Okay, new approach...
