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] Help Getting the right rom

Ok I have 2 Evo's being shipped out on Saturday. When they arrive I will be flashing them both to MetroPCS. I just need a little guideance on getting the correct rom.
I believe this is the rom im looking for here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182
IF I understand correctly, this rom is 2.3 Gingerbread based and has Cyanogenmod 7. But there is also a sense version I believe, and I HATE HTC sense ui.
What exact steps do I need to take to ensure that I Flash My EVO with a Gingerbread CM7 based Rom that will work perfectly with MetroPCS?
Everyone makes it sound so easy but I must be missing something.....Please help.

Have you rooted? It is actually very easy to flash roms. I don't believe that cynogen has sence. Not a fan of sence either I prefer asop. But once your rooted simply put the zip of the rom on your sdcard. Go to recovery wipe data, dalvic-cache and cache then flash zip from sdcard reboot and enjoy
Edit: don't know about metro.

No I haven't rooted yet. But I am going to. I have to get the phones first. I know how to root it, and provision everything. I just got lost when it came to flashing the rom and How to make sure Im getting the rom I want.

Yes that thread seems to be roms for metro.. Cynogen is not sence. so you should be good to go. When flashing roms just make sure you wipe. Not the sdcard though. Feel free to pm if needed. And hit the thanks if I helped.

[Q] Force Close during PRL Update....

This morning i made the mistake of checking for a PRL update out of Swags-Stock RC1 Rom. I was planning on switching to CM7 and wanted to check the radios just to be sure they were the latest *DUMB*. During the update check i got a force close error. I did not write down what crashed but ever since this force close, i can no longer access the 3g data on any of my nandroid backups. I've restored my stock nandroid and tried to update PRL info out of there and i also tried to push on the latest radio updates. Everything seems to go ok but still no data.... Any thoughts? The 3g symbol is displayed, wi-fi works and i can make phone calls still.
Fixed: I had to try several times, but eventually fixed the issue by one again nandroiding my stock rom backup, rebooting, updating PRL firmware through the stock rom. Back to normal after that

What if you didn't make a stock rom nan? How do you fix?

Go to the dev section, and there are a few threads of just stock rooted roms. Download the firmware to match your bootloader.

[Q] Lost data after rooting/flashing newest ota (rooted)

Hi guys I'm new to the EVO and trying to help my friend out with his. Some background is it was on stock latest OTA .3. I unlocked bootloader through HTC's tool then downgraded back to 2.2 and used unrevoked forever to regain root/s-off. I then upgraded back to latest OTA rooted/tweaked from Team Notcurnals rom. The radio basically does not work, no 3g at all. In the 2.2 rom it worked fine. So I tried updating to latest radio/hboot/nv/pri etc. Through flashable zip Found on this forum as well. They all flashed fine and updated the radio, but still nothing works. It has the signal bar like its got a signal but no data whatsoever. Lastly I tried flashing Tiamat's kernel, but it would not even boot up with it (Stuck at white HTC screen).
Any help is appreciated, I come from the Incredible so never ran into these problems before.

First off tiamat is an aosp kernel not sense. Assuming you made a backup before you flashed the TN rom,I would suggest going back to that backup or a different rom and see if the dataworks. Are you wiping everything except SD card a couple times for safe measure? I would also suggest using amon ra for recovery.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Thanks for your reply, the data does work in the 2.2 rom I had on it before flashing the TN rom. I did not make a backup of it as I had just used the RUU to get it. so no Root or anything at that point. I can easily get back to it if need be. There is no data or anything that needs to be saved on this phone at the moment.
Is there a flashable zip for amon ra recovery? Right now I have CWM
EDIT: Found Amon RA, am flashing it now.

This is what I use and it has worked flawlessly for me. I use the 3.0.7
After installing new recovery
Just wipe everything twice except SD card and try reflashing your TN rom. If the data is still borked try a different rom or try downloading it again as it might've been a bad download.

You have a mirror by chance, it says in the download the link has been removed.

This was also a super stable rom.

Hmmm, still no data, but with another Rom i was able to very briefly connect to 4g, tried to open internet to see if data was actually working and it gave me a message "Oops - we experienced a system problem during your tas, please call at 1-800-927-2199 (business use) or 1-888-211-4727 (personal use).
Do I need to call them, or any other ideas?

Are you able to send mms?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Nope, no mms.
Is it possible having an old or wrong radio could do this?
Wat about the "Sprint Lovers" Rom it says it has a combo package, but its not up to date with latest OTA and also the download links are down on it too. Would that even help though is the question

Are you able to make calls? Did you flash myns warm 2.2? And was it borked on that?

I did not try Myns warm 2.2 yet, but I've tried about 4 other roms so far. I did update the Radio and such, but no profile or PRL (Thats the one within the phone under settings > system updates right?) When I try those it fails every time. It almost seems like a problem with the account with sprint or something at this point, I verified radio is up to date. I'm going to have my friend contact sprint about his account just make sure its still in good working order,
Phone calls dont work anymore either, it says "your account cant be validated" ... Maybe all this is just cause of his account.... I'll look into it now and post an update as soon as i find out.

if it says account cannot be validated, that means theres an issue with the account. either the phone is not on the account or service has been suspended.

Yup account issue, glad I asked if you could make calls lol

OK so had him call Sprint and turns out it was on there end... he got it taken care of and now service is restored to the phone... works on all roms now. That was bad timing I guess...
I really want to say thank you so much for your help. It would have taken me much longer to find this out otherwise.

[Q] bad cell reception with CM10.2

Hello,
I am ready to pull my hair out! I installed the Cyanogenmod yesterday and my cell reception is terrible. I usually get full bars of 4g coverage in my driveway but nothing since install. I have an AirRave signal booster in the house and I get no data connectivity without wifi and 2 bars when I am standing right next to the signal booster. Different areas of town where I used to be able to count on full 3g coverage - 2 bars and no data. I don't know what to do. I am about to wipe and start over again. Any one, please help...
I have a Sprint GS3 SPH-L710

Did you dirty flash? I never had any problems with CM10.2 connectivity. You might have a bad download or something didn't get flashed correctly. I would do a clean install, ( wipe dalvik, cache, data) and re-download, flash the ROM and gapps .
GL!

Thank you for the reply. I am not sure what a dirty flash is. I am new at this. I used the Cyanogenmod app to lead me through the process. So I could use some help with the terms, please.

Thanks again for the reply. I appreciate the help

Sound like an APN issue If your only having problems with your data. I've heard of ppl having to go and flash a TW ROM to update their APNs and get it working correctly again.

Can you give me link to that thread? I'm having a devil of a time finding it..thanks

http://forum.xda-delopers.com/showthread.php?t=2527414
The above link is from the Note 2 forum (my phone). I was doing some scouting on the S3 (wife's phone) and saw this thread and thought of the one I linked.
I was having major data problems on cm10.2 even after I would go back to a touchwiz rom, update profile prl then do a "clean flash" of cm.
Problem is the way that touchwiz and cm handle the file system.
If you have a data problem in cm, flash a touchwiz ROM, update profile and prl, then go to your file explorer and delete the folder "sdcard/0/android/data/" (the only folder you need to delete is data - since I have everything on my external sdcard, I deleted the whole 0 folder.) Then do a real clean flash of cm and you should be just fine.
Obviously, if you're concerned about losing any data, back it all up before you do anything.

Thank you for the link. I am a little confused, being the newb that I am, do I have to flash a touch wiz rom to grab the APN? and then go back to CM? It seems like a lot of work...I know, nothing good comes easy...although I was hoping for a fix within CM.
Just another question, what's the harm in staying in CM and 3g only besides not being able to access LTE for the moment?

One thing I do know is any aosp ROM will have this problem. Something to do with ril or to that nature. I hunted a lot of threads on various sprint phones having the same problem.
I just stuck with tw cause the data speeds are so much better, in the same spot on aosp I get about 1.3mbs and tw about 5.5mbs. I hate tw to, can't stand it but it works

not really that time consuming. do a backup of your cm. flash atw. update prl and profile grab apn. back it up. restore cm backup. then restore apn. take no more then 20 minutes.
