WOOOOOOOOW a desire rom for an evo

What country has a keyboard with the letters 'n' and 'd' next to each other?
"Leard" and "androin"?
Download a rom from this forum and install that (try Fresh). You got a rom for the wrong phone.

Questions go in what section? Development? NO.

wrong forums....q/a is a couple above this thread

Good thing the file you flashed didn't have a radio or you'd likely be the proud owner of a shiny brick. Go here and flash one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712695
I'm guessing you're stuck at the boot screen because your boot.img is for the Desire and not the Evo.

thanks guys sorry my first post .

So what is your question? Not to sound like an ass, but you sound like a 5 year old who just dropped his ice cream cone!
Have you searched for what you are looking for already? There is a lot of threads that deal with 2.2 and tethering.

From what I can decipher from your horrid grammar is that you installed the OTA over your root and now multitouch and tethering don't work.
For right now you're screwed. Should pay attention to the forums when it said to NOT apply the OTA until it was rooted. Oh well. Sorry.

I was thinking more along the lines of Capt. Kirk on the original Star Trek: ""Was rooted....did ota....now...my...phone...doesn't.....work" LOL

ya and just like alot of us he is waiting for scotty to beam us up...
I;m given her all I gots cpt...The froyo is pushing 2.2...anymore and she gonna blow...LOL!!!

You've been here over 2 years and don't know to avoid OTA's or even more pathetically how to ask a question?

not sure how you installed ota over a rooted device. maybe you only rooted with no nand unlock and stayed on stock rom. i rooted and nand unlocked when I first got the phone and went to custom roms, and this would give me an update error of the triangle with the ! in middle when ota updates were released and i tried to install update. don't make it simple, try to give more detail please. there is talk about droid multi touch keyboard not working on 2.2 and talk of no wireless tether working either. it's been said that certian roms with godzsons kernel will get you wifi router to work, but it changes your cam down to 3mp. I have htc ota froyo 2.2 (rooted) odex rom from netarchy and was able to find that a search for wireless tether come up a new version not on the market. search for wireless tether 2.0.5 pre7. If you still have root on your phone, that will give you wireless tether without messing up your cam. good luck

I know this has probably been asked before, and I know that it is probably in the forums but I don't have the actual time to fully search right now. Is it possible to downgrade to an earlier version of android on the Evo, then root? I know when 1.6 was released for the G1 and MyTouch, you could go back down to RC29, exploit the loop and then root with the new 2.1. Any answer, no matter how simple of one, would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] I want to root my Evo on 3.30.651.3

I know nothing about rooting. Last phone I ever flashed a rom on was a touchro 2 aka rhodium. I just purchased my evo and its the newest model with the latest software. Is there a easy guide out there that I could understand? i been searching for a few days but I dont understand some of these methods. Any help would be appreciated.

i used this method about a week or so ago and it worked first time. although i couldnt access the recovery to flash a rom sso i ran unrevoked and then i could access recovery and i was fully rooted

Thanx a lot fellas......When I get to step 10 It says device offline. Any idea's as to why I get this error?............
::EDIT:: Nevermind I figured it out...Im rooted Thank you for the help fellas!!!

I officially love this forum! Was about to post this same exact thread and it suggested me here to keep from spam... NEVER have i seen that in a forum, so this is awesome. following instructions on that link to finish this up:-D

ive tried atleast 5+ different rooting methods but cant seem to get it.. i rooted my samsung moment easily as well as others but when it comes to this evo i cant do it.. i bricked it 2 times and to the point where i couldnt even flash the stock ruu anymore but luckily it was only 2 days since buying it so i was able to do a brand new swap and now i have my new evo #2 and havent touched it yet unless i got a fool proof rooting method.. Im not trying to go thru the bricking of this one to.. any input is thankful

Did you try flashing anyone of this odin one clicks? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252
Can't tell what you exactly did to flash on verizon so why not just start back fresh on sprint? Ofcourse backup your stuff first..

I had a Droid X from Verizon that I had flashed to boost. If I wanted to flash a rom I had to put the rom I wanted on the phone, then have it flashed to boost. My point is, flashing anything rom-wise would have made it a Verizon phone again. Like doing a factory reset. If you did a factory reset, it'd load sprint stuff again.
Odin safe recovery
Wipe data, cache, etc.
Flash a modem (maybe not necessary but I'd do it)
Flash a rom
Enjoy.

[Q] New to XDA and rooted Evo 4G

Hey all, I am very new to this forum and to my recently acquired (possibly poorly rooted) Evo 4G. Is anyone still out there playing with this phone? I decided to get away from my unrooted Evo Design and move over to my boyfriend's old Evo 4G that he doesn't use anymore. He rooted it and it doesn't seem like I can find any info or working links anymore to fix it up. All I know is the Superuser app always force closes and I can't use any apps that are made for rooted phones as they need root privileges which they can't get because Superuser isn't working correctly. Anyway, I'll wait to go into more detail till I can find someone that still messes around with this phone. Thanks in advance!

Just flash the latest Superuser zip in recovery.
There are plenty of people using this phone because these phones are still being sold, believe it or not.

Download the latest version of SuperSU from the link below:

I suggest reading the sticky threads both in this forum and the general forum for more info, as well.
