You need to be bone stock to get upgrade, but you can and should have s-off from unrevoked forever. Use my sig link if you need more help.

Thanks....i've got s-off so i downgraded back to the original 2.1 and everything that comes with it. Now the waiting game begins...

Good Luck with the waiting game, I'm waiting myself

I was told you just need to be on 2.1 with stock recovery and radio. Removing bloat is fine. You want to apply s-off so can get root again the update.

[Q] unrooted my evo

If you move to the unrooted OTA Gingerbread, you will not be able to root as there is no current fix for the 2.3 on EVO.
Your best option is to root - install latest rooted GB OTA and you're done. The rooted version of the update was out in about 12 hours after it started to get pushed from Sprint. Everyone just waited until it was rooted until they installed.

Please Help Need a Stock unrooted Gingerbread RUU

Ive been looking for 2 hours now and can not find a RUU for the new Gingerbread Rom. Im giving my son my Evo Cuz IM getting the 3D so I just want to give him a STOCK Evo, I already unrooted to Froyo but its saying I dont have an update! I hve NO CLUE why but does anyone know where I can find a stock RUU (not zip) of the new gingerbread ROM?

Should have stayed rooted and downloaded the rooted "stock" gingerbread Rom. It is a stock Rom for rooted users

Root again, flash stock rooted 2.3.3. I don't see why you wouldn't want your son to have it rooted for things like wireless tether.

There is no RUU available yet for the GB 4.22 build. I'm not sure what's preventing you from updating to the OTA, but thought u could get it from htc.com or sprint.com.

I talked with customer service and they said they are having problems with the gingerbread update. I unrooted mine so I could return my evo to sprint. And get the evo 3d.

I hope you know that my post you're quoting in your signature was sarcasm.

Please don't unroot your phone. When a rooted Evo comes in it gives me a reason to tell my boss I'll be busy for the next 3hrs unrooting it.

OTA after S-OFF?

Hey guys,
I used the AlpharevX Windows beta to S-OFF my Inc 2, then rooted using CWM (still on stock rom). I can see the OTA, and can download it, but it won't install.
The progress bar gets about 1/3 the way full then comes up with the triangle with the !.
I've tried it two or three times, did factory reset, have no idea what to do. Do I have to S-ON for it to install? If so, how exactly do I do that?

First, you cannot install an OTA when you have a custom recovery such as CWM installed. You at least need to install the original recovery image for your particular ROM before you try again.
Since the OTA in now available and official, why don't you just wait a few hours and someone will have a fully rooted version of the ROM that you can flash using CWM and not worry about losing S-OFF?

Let me give you a fair warning though, I'm not positive how Alpha set up their root, as I used XTC. BUT I know if you install the OTA with replacing CWM with regular recovery, you MAY be turned back to S-ON WITHOUT an option to get root back, UNLESS using the XTC clip. Enjoy.

Okay, I was afraid of that. I'm used to not even being able to see OTA's at all with CWM (came from Droid X), so it kind of threw me off.
Do you have any idea if the OTA is really any different from the leaked Inc S GB rom that's floating around? If, for some reason, it takes forever to get the ota rooted and they're not that different I may just install the leaked one I have.
Not trying to be a pain, just curious.
Thanks,

Check the Dev section. It looks like there is already a rooted, debloated version available.

I just created a PG32IMG.zip containing. Android-info text file and CWM recovery img renamed to recovery.img and placed it on root of sdcard
Booted into hboot and flashed it ...
Then I replaced the recovery with the stock recovery from the froyo ruu and flashed the stock recovery back....
Then flashed right back to CWM..
Never used any commands via windows or linux
I am going to install the ota and try to go back to cwm recovery and see what I can do from there.
I'll keep you guys informed

This way we will know if the s-off is similar to.unrevoked for the incredible 1. I could do this all day long with theirs.
One way to find out right.

You will recieve the OTA update and get Gingerbread. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED BY MANY that you will NOT be able to -reroot. if you can that's because of the hboot alpha gave you. but if it changes ur hboot you need XTC clip to re-root. RMK already posted a ROOTED ROM of the current OTA. SAME THING, why chance root for OTA. THEY ARE THE EXACT SAME FILES. BUT WITH ROOT! just use his ROM. my 2 cents. do as you please

Hey, Instead of Don't do this, do that, do this, don't update that, If you want the release and don't want to lose root, install from this link. This guy(rmk40) spent some time to get this out to us. Awesome work! You won't lose root, everything works.

[Q] EvO 4G... ruu update help

Hey guys. I recently rooted my HTC EvO 4G and installed a bunch of custom roms and i wanted to switch back to the stock rom for the EvO. I downloaded the ruu and flashed it and everything's fine, but its running 2.2. I hooked it up to my computer to check for software updates, and it said it had one. I downloaded it and clicked update now. The problem occurred when the update was taking place. It looked like it was updating in recovery.. im not sure.. it said that it could not update and now im stuck with 2.2. Please help??

You could always run Unrevoked to re-root and then flash a stock rooted ROM, that way you'd have the stock feel to the phone so to speak, but still have root access.

Usually people shut up and take what they get lol but I'm guessing you're S=OFF and why would you go stock when there's many great devs who make awesome roms?
