Wrong forum, read the Questions and Answers forum
Here is the link to the thread directly: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790427

You also could've posted in the VirusROM threads too for help.
Download the necessary files for the ROM. Move them to the root of your SD Card, boot into recovery and do a nandroid backup in case. Afterwards, you need to wipe your phone data, cache, and dalvik cache (some say wipe them twice just to be sure) in recovery. Then go to install file from sdcard and flash the ROM and reboot. After the reboot, go back into recovery and flash any other files you have downloaded (like a new kernel, radio/wimax updates, whatever).

Thank You for your clear explanation.

I would also suggest doing a full root and nand unlock from using toastcfh's method 1 and 2 so you don't run into any problems down the road. Cause lots of ROM'S these days require nand be unlocked. But they won't mention it sometimes. And if you flash that rom and delete your other your won't get past the boot screen. And be stuck with nothing. Just letting you know before you get stuck!

If you rooted with Unrevoked 3, your nand is unlocked. Power your phone off, then power it back on while holding the vol down key. At the top of the bootloader screen you will see where it says s-off to verify.

careful, if its an official you will lose root. and maybe your s off.

No details? So we have no idea what this is............

What is this
I am guessing it simply is the stock ROM with the OTA update applied. Please post further information on exactly what this ROM is.

I have the same setyo build # 28, i see no use for this thread without details on the radio posted.

This is just a Stock System ROM for the MyTouch 4G post-OTA. Nothing special but now hopefully with this theres a better/easy way to return our phones to True Factory state if needed thnx FootBall for this!

My gf's phone never got the ota 2.2.1 can I use this to update her phone?

So will I lose root if I flashed this? If so then this will kill a lot of time for me. I wouldn't need to unroot my device. I have a replacement coming and if I could unroot it just by flashing this then great.

Yes u will lose root and should reset back to S-ON. Just rename zip to PD15IMG.zip and boot into bootloader and it should find it and ask you to continue flashing it. Afterwards u should have a Original Stock MT4G as when u first got it.

The file in the original post will OVERWRITE EVERYTHING ON THE DEVICE and wipe it 100% clean.
If you merely want to apply the update to the phone but leave all of her personal data intact, use the file I've linked below, name it UPDATE.ZIP and apply it by following directions below.
http://www.filedropper.com/update1pd15img
THIS PROCEDURE ASSUMES SHE IS ON STOCK ROM AND NOT ROOTED
copy the file to the root of your sdcard. make sure it is named update.zip and not update.zip.zip. If you don't know what this means, let me know.
power off phone.
hold vol down + power until you get to a white screen.
use the volume buttons to select RECOVERY then click power.
EDIT:
tk192 said:
When u get to the ! with the triangle press volume up i believe to show u the options after use the volume keys to navigate to the update.zip and let the phone update and reboot

when phone reboots you should be in a blue menu. Android oem recovery 2e or something like that.
select apply update.zip and stand back and let the phone do it's thing. DON'T TOUCH IT WHILE IT'S WORKING!!
When it reboots she should be on 2.2.1.

So basically this is just the PD15IMG we already have? Or will this replace bootloader, recovery and all thus eliminating the need to reverse gfree kinda like sappimg.nbh for the mytouch 3g?

I *THINK* gfree is a separate issue, but not sure. You'd have to ask the creator of that thread. The PD15IMG we already had was pre-ota 2.2, meaning we had to apply a second update.zip to get back to post-ota 2.2.1.
I think this new PD15IMG in the OP of this thread is post-ota so we can completely unroot in one step. I'm very stoked.

Me also eliminates many steps. Should be awesome also if it also reversed gfree.
Has anyone that followed the gfree process tried this to see if it will also reverse this.

z4root full root

this works for me can't promise that it would work for anyone else....but if you use z4root and get temporary root you can then use rom manager to fully root your phone which will last after reboot and everything....

z4root gives you temporary root and Rom manager lets you flash a custom recovery/roms.
I don't see how a combination of the two would or could give you a NAND Unlock.

He is correct... s-off / nand unlock is necessary for full root.. the evo is easy to root anyways....

Typically you don't have to worry about it for a freeplacement, If you root it all you have to do is flash a stock RUU and everything will go back to orignial. I had to take my wifes for repaired yesterday due to the flash quit working. I just installed a stock RUU from sprint. Had it fixed, went home re-rooted and restored with nandroid and you would never know.

Just use unrevoked. Its super easy to fully root your phone.

worked for me on a friends htc hero. The download I used though gave my computer a virus and was caught by windows defender after the fact so be carefull were you download it from.

but the thing you will be missing is the ability to do a NANDbackup! Among other things that full root gives you.

Flashing New Radio

I downloaded Gingerbread 2.3.3 on my Rooted Evo 4G as per xHausx thread. Everything went well.
I am about to flash the Radio he has in his thread here >>
Standalone Radio PC36IMG (must be flashed through the hBoot/fastboot)
Evo Radio Version 2.15.00.04.08
(MD5 1ECE6F6BC355AFB721BA7264F82DD1E7)
-I downloaded the file using my Evo and it is a ilivid.exe file.
- I renamed it PCM36IMG.zip in Root Explorer
I don't know if the above 2 steps I did are correct, which is why I am asking here.
Do I have to use my pc to achieve the Radio Flash, or can it all be done using my Evo.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
If this has been discussed already, just point the way.

You put the file on ur your evo (you dont need root explorer) and boot into bootloader then in bootloader go to fastboot and then it says start update and click vol up for yes
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Did I rename it properly?
Don't you need root explorer or similar to rename, and to download zip from?
In addition, the power button submits your choice.

No you dont need root explorer and yes you press power to go to fastboot but one you have the file on your sd card go to fastboot and then it says update and press power up

And do NOT pull the battery for any reason. It will hang on a stock recovery screen the reboot and finish updating

No you didnt name it right its PC36IMG (no zip) you misspelled it wrong u put a M in front of the 3

Sent from my EVO rocking Evervolv Gingerbread

Thanks everyone for your input.
I downloaded the Radio/WiMax combo but when I went into recovery and chose the .zip file, it said checking radio, but then I got the default bootloader screen again.
I clicked Reboot & Install after the download was complete and nothing. Just get the Rom Manager Home screen.
Will try later again after I figure this out.
Update:
I am in the process of flashing that zip and is in progress.
Will see what happens.
No luck.
I'm done for now. Don't know why I'm having so many issues as compared to flashing Gingerbread??
UPDATE!
SUCCESS FINALLY!!
- I downloaded the File in xHausx thread >>
Firmware:
Must be flashed through hBoot/Fastboot! Not Recovery.
PC36IMG - Radio, WiMAX and PRI Updates (MD5: 2E5C63EA59891A69F6D55C257CF165D5)
- I renamed it PC36IMG.zip using Root Explorer
- I moved PC36IMG.zip to the Root of the SD card using Root Explorer by selecting 'Move', then going to 'sd' then Pasting PC36IMG.zip there
- I used QuickBoot and entered HBoot and FastBoot mode
- PC36IMG.zip was recognized
- I pressed the 'Vol Up' key to acknowledge 'Yes' to continue with PC36IMG.zip (@jadden....Now I know what you meant by ''pressing vol up to start download )
- After Update was completed, I pressed vol up for Yes to Reboot
- Evo started up and I checked the Radio, etc. and SUCCESS!!
One of the issues I had before was that I didn't put the PC36IMG.zip into the Root of my sd card.This is why FastBoot didn't recognize the .zip
After much time spent with having issues, and after reading the help I got here, and Googling, the whole Process of FastBoot took 2 minutes!!
Thanks for everyone's input!
I still don't know why I couldn't use Rom Manager Recovery as suggested regarding the Radio files from Caulkins thread. I must have missed something. Maybe I should have used Recovery in Quick Boot I guess. But a moot point since I was able to use FastBoot regarding the link to the Radio in xHausx thread.............

You guessed it, I dropped the Evo and the Screen shattered!!
After All this Work......UnF'nBelievable!!
I have TEP so I'll have to order another one.
I had my Evo running so nicely.
I'll order it not activated, install Root and Install the Deodexed Gingerbread version as I did prior.
I would love to just have the Glass/Digitizer replaced, But that may be more trouble than it's worth..................

Yeah but if you get it replaced they will give you an evo that has official gingerbread which can't be rooted yet.

Well, That Sucks!
I thought maybe it wouldn't have Gingerbread in it, and I'd have to do an OTA update myself, which I wasn't going to do.
Hopefully there will be a Root available soon........
Btw, if it does come with GB installed, can I install Froyo and then Root?
Update:
I just called Asurion, and they have Evos in stock. Will be shipping out tomorrow, 5/6 Monday.
Since the Official Gingerbread is also being made available tomorrow, and I asked that my replacement Evo Not be activated, it will probably be shipped with Froyo installed. Which would be just the way I like it..................

after you flash it the radio , how do you know it has been flash, what has been changed that you can see and where can i see it to make sure??

I use Amon Ra (you can search for it here), rename it to PC36IMG.zip and transfer to SD card.
Boot into bootloader (power off, then volume down + power key).
It will then find the file, ask you if you want to run/install, and BOOM.

Yes, move it from pc or download it.
Go into recovery and install zip from there

S-Off doesn't equal root. It takes the security off so you CAN root.
Flash the recovery, as posted, and then flash a ROM. The ROM have the root exploit in them and should all come with Superuser, which is what allows your programs to use the root exploit.

If you are having an issue just go through the root method again and this time say YES when they ask you about Clockwork. This is if you are having issues flashing a recovery. It wont hurt your phone.
Suggestion - If you are entering the world of rooting and flashing roms, one of the most important things or probably the most important is to read and read again then when you think you got it read one more time. Alot of info in xda. follow OP's instructions to the letter and you will be ok...

I have done it over and over .. watched the video posted in another thread. I have tried different su files posted and same thing. I can install custom roms and it works great. I have superuser icon in apps.. no apps listed.
rom manager says not rooted.
terminal says not rooted

Yeah, the process is get S-Off, which removes the security
Flash Recovery, so you can flash ROMS, Kernels, etc.
Flash A ROM, which will have root, system files, etc so that you have a setup to work with.
Think of it like setting up a new computer. Once you get the components, you have to format your hard drive so it'll hold the operating system.
