I rooted my Evo a few days ago. I removed some of the factory programs that I did not use and now I want them back. I have 2.3.3 on the phone. I tried to download the rom and install it. I used rom manager and Clockworkmod both and I got a error status 7. Can anyone point me in the right direction to reinstall the factory rom?
Thanks
Have the same issue with mine i cannot get it to load anymore.
Both of you need to go to the development section, then seach for a stock 4.24....rom. Do a full wipe, then flash it in recovery and you'll be set.
I would suggest finding stock PC36IMG flash thru hboot!

I am a bit confused about what to do now. First off.. I have the Evo rooted with OS 2.1 but recently I just found out that 2.2 has been rooted. So now I just need to know what to do to get rooted 2.2. I read on some searches I did that I can just flash a 2.2 rom and that would be fine but I am a little concern about doing it that way. I was wondering if I need to UNROOT then download the over the air update that sprint has to get 2.2 then start my root process from there or is there a guide that someone can link me to in order for me to proceed? Thanks for your input.
Just find a rooted stock rom in the Development forums (or experiment with a custom rom. There are several that don't lose any functionality these days). Do a nandroid backup, and a Titanium backup of your apps and data before since I think you will need to do a data and dalvik cache wipe.
The alternative you proposed would probably take you all day and it would still wipe!
Think of it this way. All of the 2.2 ROMS you flash is just like an upgrade from Sprint. If you flash the 2.2 OTA ROM its the same thing as getting from Sprint, but you don't lose root user access. Hope this clears it up a little. No need to jump through all the hoops you referenced.
So its has been a while since I did anything with my phone so I had to youtube how to flash a rom. When I get to the part where I select recovery it goes to a screen with a phone image with a red ! mark on it. What does that mean? Maybe I might just take path of unrooting this 2.1 and upgarding to 2.2 then root from there? Can someone direct me which steps to take? thanks
Whatever you do.....DON'T FLASH YOUR RADIO AND WIFI. You'll be screwed. Has taken me 24 hours + to get my ability to tether wirelessly back on my rooted 2.2 (I'm not complaining. the rooted 2.2 ROM is freagin awesomeness!)Just in case you do by accident there's lots of info out there on how to try to dig yourself back out.
Don't unroot your 2.1 dude.
ROM's are ROM's. It doesn't matter if it's 2.1 or 2.2, you can flash either one and flash back and forth between the two at your own leisure. Back before 2.2 was officially out for the evo, I used to flash back and forth between working 2.1 and experimental 2.2 on almost a daily basis. They always booted fine, my phone did not explode.
Reboot with volume key down, select recovery, wipe everything, flash the new rom, reboot.
You don't have a custom recovery installed, do you remember if your NAND is unlocked?
If you need to check turn off your phone and then turn it back on while holding the volume down button. At the top of the screen it should say either S-ON or S-OFF and below it an hBoot version. If it is S-OFF and ver .76 it should be simple for you to update it.
Thanks for the input guys. So I guess the final word is to not unroot my phone and just flash. Now to my problem with recovery mode.
Haus, it says S-ON and hboot is veryson 0.79.0000. Is this a problem? Can you guide me on what steps to take or what should i search for? thanks again.
still wasn't able to find information on this. anyone can link me? thanks
can anyone link me to where i should start?
well your going to want to make sure you have a custom recovery, when your in the bootloader scroll to recovery and click on it, if anywhere it says clockwork or amon ra, your set and then you only need to flash unrevoked forever to turn your s-off and then you can start flashing 2.2 roms from the htc evo android development section
if you do not have a custom recovery just head on over to unrevoked.com and download their latest for the evo, it will give a custom recovery and flash your s-off for you and youll be ready to roll
I tried and the problem I am having is when I select the recovery option it reboots and then shows a phone with the ! sign. Doesn't let me flash anything. This is where I am stuck now.
As mentioned before, you need to install a custom recovery on your phone. If you are rooted, then perhaps you can download ROM Manager and installed ClockworkMOD?? You can also change to Amon_RA as well through ROM Manager. Otherwise, in the unrevoked forever wiki, they do provide PC36IMG files that should install a custom recovery on your phone (take your pick of either ClockworkMOD or Amon_RA).
http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever#reinstalling_an_official_recovery
Scroll down to "Reinstalling an official recovery" section and you will see the links for the PC36IMGs.
Alright so I just remembered what that phone icon with the red ! meant. I plugged it back into my win7 machine and ran windowrecovery.bat and I somehow managed to flash it to s=off. So now all I have to do is select the rom I want to flash?
Rom manager
if you have a custom recovery, then yes download a rom from the development section and move it to the root of the sd card. Boot into recovery and wipe your dalvik and data. Go bac and choose install .zip from sd card. Find the file you downloaded and flash it. Wait for it to boot up and your good. Orrrrr download rom manager from the market and you can do all this from there.
I rooted my phone in March everything worked fine. It's shows s-off. I Was able to do a backup and install the MIUI rom. I didn't like it so I went back to the stock rom. Now over a month later I wanted to try a rom again. Everytime I'm in hboot it load and say pc36img is not found when i click recovery it don't load at all. Any help would be needed.

Have you tried to re-install recovery? I flashed to stock, and recovery was removed from my system, so I had to reinstall it.
Easiest way to do it is through ROM Manager from the market.
I did have rom manager installed and uninstalled it because I thought it was what messed up recovery. But reinstalled it an now it worked. Thanks alot

I don't know what is going on with my Epic Touch. I rooted the phone, added CWN recovery, and then installed starburstROM. After my phone tried to encrypt, my phone would not start up. So I went back to the stock kernel, tried to re-root, and add CWN. Once I install CWN, my phone goes into bootloop. The only way I can get out of that loop is if I install stock kernel or re-root. I would like to reset everything, root, and add a new ROM. I am relatively new at this. Would someone be so kind to help me out?
I am pretty sure I want to install the midnight ROM. So any help finding the right things to install would be appreciated.
I got it working by using versions very similar to stock. Now I am installing midnight rom

Well, I just installed midnight and now it won't turn on. I see the bootup screen but the phone turns off after that. BUmmer, any ideas?
I would flash the stock eg30 tar and start over.
Sent From My Evo Killer!!!
before I install new ROMS, I wipe everything. Factory reset, wipe cache, then flash the new ROM.
As posted above, also flash back to stock eg30 and start over.
Ok so i flashed a new rom gbsense_s_4.5 and then tsm_sense_m_ext4_5.0.1 both and 2.3.4 where as i WAS 2.3.3, I did a backup of original rom then wiped and installed roms. I didnt like then to much so i went back to the back up and when i tried to install the back up i get a sum5 mismatch error. I then tried to flash the original Rom Zip and i get a aborted error. I cant figure it out. Do i need to downgrade again in order for it to work. I have wiped cache and factory reset phone as i always do. Oh and i Renamed the backups to original root rom and root rom w.apps. I can redo the apps and contacts manually but i cant seem to get the rom to install on the Inc. 2. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Hey guys/gals,
I recently bought a Koodo Galaxy s2x. After a few weeks I looked online and saw that there were some JB Roms for my phone. I couldn't resist and tried to flash one after rooting. I didn't have many problems with it, but there were some glitches that started to bug me, so I decided to see about going back to stock (I should have done this first I know). So then after hours(many) of searching, the best I could find was a T-Mobile stock Rom I decided to try and flash it (both times via odin). I also read somewhere that I should use darkside superwipe to clear my cache, so I tried that, but ever since that CWM stopped working on my phone. anytime I tried to do any back up or anything it just froze, and I had to hard boot. Finally I just tried flashing T-Mobile stock ICS, and Odin said "Failed". I decided to just unplug my phone, as I thought I already screwed it up, but after rebooting, the T-mobile Rom worked. I don't understand why it works fine if the Flash Failed. Now, I can no longer connect to kies (I'm hoping official JB will be shipped soon!), and I am wondering if I can somehow return to a stock Koodo Rom, and if it will connect to Kies again, as it previously had. I have looked a lot and have not found anything that I fully understand. I'm not overly experienced, which is why I should not have flashed to begin with. This is the closest thread I have found to help me, but I don't fully understand what all I need to do:
"Haven't seen anyone shared this yet.
Here's the KOODO ICS 4.0.4 stock ROM I used CWM to flash to stock after I tried the custom ROM.
h t t p s : / / sourceforge.net/projects/koo...d.zip/download
I also flashed DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIDE before I flashed this or you can used CWM Recovery 6.0.1.2 to wipe system and cache."
Is it possible for me to get back to stock phone? and still connect to Kies? and then possibly upgrade to JB through Kies if Hercules ends up receiving it?
Thanks for any help you can give me. Here is all my current phone info incase this helps:

SGH-T989

Thanks.
If your ultimate goal is to get Jellybean on your phone, check the development section of this subforum. There are numerous stable and wonderful JB roms (AOKP Milestone 6, Liquid Smooth, CM10).
To get back to your stock ROM, download it from here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/koo...d.zip/download
Then, go into recovery (NOT odin), and flash the rom.

That link doesn't work, it says cannot find page. Also, my phone is currently not rooted, does it have to be rooted to flash from recovery? if not what do I do to flash from recovery? I know how to get into recovery, but after that do I use 'apply update from external storage'? Do I have to wipe the cache first?
Thanks.
PS: I just want to be able to get back to stock for now. At least until I learn more about flashing Roms. There is still lots for me to learn, like kernels, radios, Nightly's for official Roms, or even how to properly flash a rom without feeling lost. If I know a way to get back to stock comfortably, It will give me more reason to try some other Roms (once I learn how).
Here is a working link to the stock Koodo ROM: http://sourceforge.net/projects/koodostock/files/KOODO_SGH-T989D_Stock_Signed.zip/download
Are you running a custom ROM right now or your stock ROM? If you're running a custom ROM, it should come with root privileges. If you are running the stock ROM, you can just back it up instead of needing to download the zip from sourceforge. This guide will help you get rooted: http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-root-icsgb-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/. After rooting, get into recovery mode (if you can't get the button combinations to work, there is an app. called quick boot which reboots you into recovery/bootloader/etc). If you don't have a recovery or it's corrupt, download ROM manager from google play, and choose the 'install clockwork recovery'. Reboot to recovery to make sure it works, then uninstall rom manager (it's been known to cause bugs if you use it for other things - and I'd recommend other recoveries such as TWRP but it's a bit more advanced). From your recovery's screen, there should be a backup option. Make a complete backup and name it something appropriate. To flash a ROM, download it and put it on your storage drive. Reboot to recovery, and go to wipe. Wipe your data (factory reset), and system (only really need to wipe data in most cases, but be safe). To flash the custom ROM now (or flash the default ROM I just linked), there should be an option to 'install zip from sd card' or something similar. Choose that, browse to your ROM and install it. After installing, go to wipe and wipe your cache+dalvik cache, then reboot. There are several beginner guides sticked in the development forum, along with explanation of terms like radio/kernel/nightly/etc.

Thanks a ton... Worked perfectly! I'm hoping it will connect to Kies once again.. I'll let you know if it works.
Unfortunately, I still can't connect to Kies.. It just sits at the Loading status (for like 10-15 mins). But At least I don't have all of the T-mobile apps and stuff anymore!
