Im selling my G2 and thought i had made backup prior to flashing to CM7.
What is the best "official" rom to go back to? And maybe a little noob guidence. I beileve i just boot to recovery and then restore yes?
The official ROM is T-Mobile's stock ROM. You can find it along with a guide here

I dont want to unroot i just want to go to stock gingerbread rom
Well, I assumed you wanted to sell the phone in a state similar to as if it just came from the factory, in which case flashing the original stock ROM would be unrooted.
Than flash virtuous 2.0 - i think this is as close to stock you can get, with some good tweaks and you are still rooted

He`s got a G2 though which means he never had HTC Sense, he would want Virtuous G-Lite if anything (unless that`s what you meant in which case my bad haha)

There are stock 2.3.4 roms that are already rooted, but it screws up. I was in the same situation. I suggest try to go back to stock 2.2 (Froyo) and then install updates. I don't think rooting the G2 on 2.3.4 is worth it really. Trust me. Its a freakin pain. Anyway, back to rooted 2.3.4 rom. I flashed it 2 days ago and it almost screwed up my phone! I can't use the market (i get an error) and I can't use music, camera, media stuff.. Its not worth flashing 2.3.4 rom. Although, if you want to be a rebel, go for it
You've been warned by the way.
There's a 'stock' rooted ROM available that works great. However, I would not sell it when rooted. If the person you sell it to gets an automatic update from HTC, it could brick the phone. Put the original non-rooted ROM back on before you sell it.

not very helpful considering the fact that a factory reset most probably still has him in a root state. You either need to do a manual unroot to get back to a true factory reset or follow these instructions as an easier way:
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/19278-how-unroot-return-stock.html
When you choose the RUU...use the 1.47 one...then after complete you should be able to OTA Froyo.
Wouldn't it be easier to just keep your root and download one of the newer 2.2 roms and keep root. There's even stock rooted roms.
well i the only reason i rooted to begin with was for the 2.2 update. i think if there is a like newer versions of 2.2 without htc sense then i will flash to that. does anyone know of that? a 2.2 rom thats plain android. witht he cameras and bluetooth and 4g working also pretty stable?
Yup, fusionx has a wicked fast, snappy, and stable rom without sense. Check it out in development section. Download it, do a complete wipe, and flash it. Make sure to flash new radios and wimax as well. They will be listed under the rom probably. These need to be flashed one at a time. Good luck and have fun.

CM6 is as close to ASOP as you'll ever get. It is super nice. No 4G or Hdmi yet, it will be added eventually.
Do not update to 2.2 through sprint. There is absolutely no point. Flash the rooted 2.2 stock rom, it is the exact same thing except you get to keep your root.
Hey guys, I am rooted and running Virtuous rom and I just wanted to know IF I ever wanted to go back to the stock G2 rom what would I have to do that? Thanks
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
two options:
1. If you were smart, you made a nandroid of your stock ROM the minute you confirmed the root procedure worked. If you did, simply use ROM Manager or boot into recovery, wipe everything, and restore that nandroid.
If you didn't....
2. Download one of the many stock ROMs in the development subforum, and flash that through ROM manager or recovery. Remember to wipe anytime you switch between ROMs (especially Sense-to-stock, or vice versa).
Is there any stock roms on rom manager that I can just do from there?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Nope, just Cyanogen and Virtuous. Just find a stock ROM that you want to use, download the .zip file, and put that on your memory card (don't unzip it, just drop the whole .zip file as-is). Then, in ROM Manager, choose 'Install Zip from SDcard' and navigate to wherever you put that zip file. ROM Manager will give you the option to wipe and to perform a backup of your current ROM before it flashes the new one - choose both options and let it run. super easy.
Alright thanks man

So it's not a stock ROM then ? If someone is looking for a stock ROM, then flashing a custom ROM isn't going to be what they need, surely ? Because they may well not want root either. Often folks ask for a stock ROM because they are doing a warranty return or similar. Or just want to go back completely to how it came from the factory.
That ROM that you linked has also got a modified RAM disk, and is zip-aligned. So it has several changes from a stock ROM.
If you're doing warranty work, that's close enough to stock. I don't thing you can 'unroot' your phone and go back to *totally* stock.

That's funny I never saw where he asked for a complete stock, unrooted rom for warranty purposes, guess you should give him the right link then since you seem to know what he REALLY wants. and from his second post by asking if he could find a stock rom on rom manager I would think since rom manager requires root to work, he might be looking for a stock rooted rom.
If you want to correct people please give the right awnser then, in this case give him what he's really looking for, as far as the link I provided it seems the only person not happy with the awnser is someone who didn't even ask the question, so keep up the good job "awnser police".
Just curious how much time did you spend researching that I am wrong instead of giving the OP what YOU THINK is the right link??? Time well spent.
But I guess it seems to happen, instead of awnsers we get posts trying to prove who's MORE right.
Well no hard feelings on my end, hope you have a great day, and happy posting.

Yes. There will be at least one rooted stock ROM. However, most other ROMs will be customized ROMs that utilize the new Gingerbread kernel.
I'd like to point out the kernel source may be for a kernel that only works with the OTA. That's how its been with the Tbolt. Not so bad because it would spawn a whole new generation of much improved gingerbread ROMs.
Thats all I wanted to know seeing how they got gingerbread roms from devices like the HTC Sensation, I don't think it'll take that long to get a custom ROM cooked up haha! As long as there will be roms based off it, I'll be happy hopefully they'll have custom themes

if you can root the update, no one knows for sure if unrevoked or any method will work, let us know if it does or not!
I'm on 2.2 rooted using unrevoked3 - such a easy process. From what I have been reading, it's not as simple in reverse. I really want 2.3 for the VoIP capabilities and improved keyboard but I'm afraid to brick my phone unrooting it. Also, I live off of WiFi tether for root users and I don't know how long I could wait for another unrevoked or similar to give root on 2.3 so that I can reinstall the app.
So I'm assuming I should just wait for a custom ROM like most everyone else. Is it hard to flash a custom ROM? More or less difficult than the painless 1-click root?
Sent from my ADR6300 using Tapatalk
Probably not quite as painless as unrevoked, but certainly not difficult either. Rom manager actually makes rom flashing pretty simple but seems buggy for a lot of people. I'd wait for the rooted OTA to be posted and flash that. Might want to do a little reading on flashing roms and root in general, there are some good stickies in the incredible forums.
Can I use the root method even on a custom sense ROM?

I'm not wanting to insult you, honestly, but that question reflects a deep lack of knowledge. But, you're at XDA and that's the best place to fix that!
I'll answer your question....
Nobody could probably tell you because nobody has ever tried rooting a custom ROM before.
That said, do some searching and some reading and get familiar with what this community is all about. You will be amazed.
So I flashed the 2.3.4 GB Rom posted by JoelZ yesterday. Some stuff looks diferent but not a whole lot. Was I wrong to expect the newer style keyboard, lockscreen and notification bar? Nevertheless, it boots wicked quick and feels faster.

Not sure which apps youre referring to that aren't going to work in Canada... anything you use on your current ROM probably works on the 2.3 rooted Sense based ROMs lol.
The DZ is the G2 in the USA, and has completely different firmware. It doesn't have HTC sense. So you probably won't find many HTC Sense based ROMs that are "for the u.s." as you put it...
People like Virtuous unity. Its 2.3 based Sense with some Sense 3.0 flares. There are also a few stock pre-rooted OTA DZ builds out there. Go take a look in the dev section. If you like Sense, there are plenty of options for this device.
no i meant the rom that i will get has some apps that dont work in canada. anyways, what do you think is the best sense based rom with 2.3? post a link if possible. thanks.

I don't use Sense (don't like it) and I wouldn't wanna make a recommendation because I'm not very versed on them.
There are several options, I suggest you try them all and choose which you like. Lots of people like Virtuous Unity.
which tends to crash more? miui or virtuous unity?
I searched through the forums here and didn't find anything helpful. Probably because it has been a long time since 2.3 came out.
I have a stock Froyo Evo 4G (rooted). I would like to move up to 2.3.x
I find many sites online with instructions on doing it, and downloads, but I don't trust any of them. I only really trust what I read here at XDA.
That being said, can someone point me to instructions to do the update?
Also...what will I lose from the phone?
How do I re-root afterward?
When I use the phone to look for the system update it finds nothing, so I need a link to download the file(s) necessary.
Thanks in advance, I know I'm way behind the curve but my job just started using Office 365 with Lync, and it doesn't support 2.2.

Do NOT take an OTA update if you are rooted. Every single guide for rooting tells you this.
That being said, if you want to stay stock, fine the stock rooted GB rom in the stickies in the Dev section. Make a nandroid backup in recovery, then wipe everything, then flash. You will not lose root as long as you flash a rooted rom.

your don't need to unroot or anything. Backup whatever stuff you wanna keep with Ti Backup or mybackup root. Wipe caches and data and flash ROM.
I think you may wanna update radios, too. Update to at least the 11.19 radio. All radios are available in Calkulins thread in dev section. I would say update radio first, but maybe someone else can chime in on if that really matters.
But, you don't need to unroot, reroot, blah blah blah. Just flash updated ROM. When updating radio, do NOT interrupt the flash. It's about the only thing that can truly brick your phone.

First of all if you still want sense on the evo and want 2.3 download mikg rom v3 go to themikmik.com and go to the evo section and there will be a lthread that says update 3.11 its in v3.xx forum. There will be a download link and download the one that's not the update version after that follow normal flashing rom procedure.
Now if you want pure gingerbread then I would go to cyanogenmod.com and go to evo and go to stable release and click on the newest one download and flash there are tons of helpful forums on flashing roms if anything reply and ill walk you through... Enjoy bro

This answered all my last questions, the fact that I had to downgrade from 2.3 unrooted, to 2.2 and then root, once rooted but back on froyo, I was wondering how to upgrade to Gingerbread... well this post opened my eyes, I just flashed digitalkarma's ROM and I am back to Gingerbread and rooted and with awesomeness written all over the place!
