Well, I have the Incredible 2, which had 2.3.4 on it. I wanted to root, so I ran Revolutionary, and all went well. But, it did not downgrade to 2.3.3 like I thought it said, rather it downgraded to 2.2.1. It's rooted, and runs fine, but there were a couple apps that are not working properly, and the app says its due to the older version. So I guess my question(s) are: Did I make a mistake somewhere to make it downgrade to 2.2.1? And what is the simplest way to upgrade it to 2.3.3, (if possible) And whats the closest to a stock version of 2.3.3 can I get? I have searched, but know one else seems to have this problem. Sorry if it is posted somewhere, but I dont see it. Thanks in advance for any help

Well, we don't really have a stock 2.3.3 any more, but we do have ginger bang sense which is based off the latest update.

So, just basicly flash a rooted 2.3.3 ROM, and be done with it?

That should be good. I'm waiting on getting a stock ROM based on the latest ota and I'll link it to you if no post is made for it. Pm me and I'll let you know when it's done

Sounds good to me, thanks. Just for ha ha's, any idea why it rolled back to 2.2.1 rather than 2.3.3? Not a huge deal, more curious in case I need to do it again.

I rooted my buddies EVO for him which also installed S-OFF. He's been complaining about his device freezing with the Sprintlovers ROM. I haven't actually looked to see what's the issue but he's coming today to have it fixed. I just want to install a 100% stock rom, maybe with root access available so I can fix him up fast. His is a newer white one with HBOOT 2.02, not the latest 2.10 (I think).
Can someone here kindly point me in the right direct to a 100% stock EVO Sense ROM?
Try joeykrims stock rom.

I unrooted to get the ota update and it changed my firmware to 1.47.651.1 and hardware to 0004 also it went from 2.2 to 2.1-update1 any ideas of how I could fix it and re root cause I don't think out can be rooted how it is now I did this cause I thought it would update to Android 3.0

It can't change your hardware...
Think of what "hardware" means.
Also android 3.0 is tablet only.

He didn't OTA.

HARDWARE doesn't change due to a SOFTWARE update. PERIOD. Firmware can and does.
The OTA update was leaked several weeks prior to the official update, why would you have thought that it was a Android 3.0 update? It's well documented that Android 3.0 is a tablet release. There was dev who ported it to the EVO and almost nothing worked.
I don't know a whole lot about this I'm learning as I go but my phone had a ota update and my hardware was 0003 and now its 0004 but I shouldn't have done that I messed up bad but what I put is what it says my firmware is
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
What you're saying doesn't really make sense. Can you check again? The new OTA is 2.3.3 not 3.0 as others have said. What rom were you coming from?
You say your FIRMWARE says 0004? Maybe take a few screen shots so we can see.

No, it definitely was not. What you're saying is impossible. No matter what you think it was before, if it is 0004 now, it was 0004 before the update too. But it doesn't really matter one way or the other.
I mean this with all due respect to you and in care if your phone.
Unroot until you read around some more and gain a good understanding of what you're doing.
you guys are all missing the key piece of info here, the op said he unrooted. this is how he rolled back to 1.47 firmware. one can assume he flashed a stock rom to unroot and he had to of flashed the 1.47 rom probably from the unroot your phone in 2 steps thread. anyhow op, if you are not unrooted with s-on and you take the ota you will be stuck with it until someone finds a way to root it. if you want the newest ota then download the rooted version from this very site. re-root your evo then flash it.
on a side note, i do not understand why people do things that they have no clue what they are doing. if you do not understand it or can not problem solve your way out of an issue then you probably shouldn't attempt it. im not claiming to be an expert but i can google with the best of em and find the fix to about anything i could screw up.
I accidentally upgraded my phone. Its not rooted and not has the 3.2. I need to downgrade it to 2.2 and i tried to use PC36IMG and RRU but not luck. I cant root it since its a new firmware aswell. does any one know how to . Thanks
You can't 3.2s bootloader won't allow down grading

Ya i figured something like that. Looks like we just have to wait
thread fail
this has been asked hundreds of times.
can anybody tell me what the latest OTA/stock/rooted rom is and point me in the right direction.
I see someone must have made the swap
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
we will be but im helping the guy find the latest ota thats rooted. the only one i see was pulled from here.
if your already s off I believe this is what your looking for http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...gingerbread-update-for-htc-incredible-2-leak/
or if your looking to go back to non rooted stock http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...8-605-4-same-as-the-official-gingerbread-ota/ this was can be flashed if your s-on it is signed official gb unrooted
you guys officially got gingerbread right? or not yet? looking through the rom you linked i do not see superuser app in system/app at all. the guys dinc2 is already rooted with s-off. i just wanted it back to stock/rooted when i get it for activation.
yeah we got official. If I was u I would run the nonrooted ruu and have a fresh start you can root it very easily with revolutionary anyway. and if you run the official ruu it will give you a totally clean slate and get all his temp files and other junk off of it

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Unrooting_and_Returning_to_Stock
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

How is it confusing? He's on cm7 now, and he wants to go back to stock without unrooting.

I was also confused. "Stock" implies stock, as in factory condition, i.e. unrooted...

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)
I think there are a few rooted stock gingerbread roms in the dev section. Flash those for a rooted stock experience.

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.

Agreed. Off topic but @cheetodude24 should seek help if he/she is having problems with the rooted stock ROM.
