[Q] evo-4g rooted, would like to update, just cannot find my answer - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
So, I have read and read and read till my eyes are RED! I (actually a co-worker and I) rooted my evo-4g over a year ago and it has been awesome having a rooted phone. Only a couple of quirks along the way but generally no major issues to speak of. I would like to update the ROM/kernel with one of the latest/stable that is available (not quite sure how new I can go with this phone but I want to continue to use what is stable) but I am totally in the dark as to what is best/stable and how to tell...Yes, I know, search for it, someone else has posted it, I did and I cannot find it...If you want to slam me go ahead but also please point me ion the correct direction for the requested info.
Here is the info on my phone:
Sprint evo-4g
Model: PC36100
Android Ver: 2.3.5
Baseband Ver: 2.15.00.0808
Kernel Ver: 2.6.37.6-cyanogenmod-01509-g8913be8 [email protected]#1
Mod Ver: gingerbread-evo-deck-1.3d
Build number: GRJ90
As always, your assistance/patience is greatly appreciated!!
Tony.

I have found so far, the one I like the most is the new cm9 mod that Deck posted on 7-3.
I am a noob at this too, and haven't had my question answered either.
But so far, I like this one the best:
cm_supersonic-ota-eng.deck.zip posted on 7/3 by deck.
Can't post the link, I am too new here.

Thanks for the great info. Now I just have to re-read up on how to update to a newer ROM....wish me luck!!
Thanks very much again for answering my post!!

I am lost, seriously!

Howdy!
I am currently pulling my hair out because I tried so many roms and I lost control over my HTC Desire. I am guessing I am currently on Android 2.1. I want to use a ROM that has no HTC Sense and is rooted. But all those roms are coming with so much annoying extra's I just don't want. And some of those roms tells me that some things are working and some not, that olso scares me.
When I click 'About my phone' I see the following information:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1
Smallband version: 32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2
Kernel: 2.6.29-0cb9f166 (htc-kernel - and18-2 #1)
Build number: 1.21.405.2 CL174215 release-keys
I hope somebody can point me in the direction I want because I am fairly new to the android phones,
Thanks!
i had kinda the same problem as you.tryed many different roms and now i'm happy with opendesire + launcher pro instead of adw launcher.
I think LeeDrOiD Mod might be good for you. Froyo with sense and not much extras. Just need to format and make ext partition to your sd card and you are good to go.
Edit: SPEED READ IS BAD... sorry. I thought u was looking for sense rom. .. lol
Edit 2: LeeDrOiD is still good point to start. I dont run sense either but adw, but i still like to use htc calendar etc.

Thanks guys. I decided to use the HTC default rom and rooted. I'll try from here out to tweak and remove some stock applications.

Which ROM to start with?

So i'm planning on Rooting my Desire (Bravo PVG1 SHIP -SON, HBoot 0.93 , Radio 5.11.05.27)
Any recommendations? i was thinking about CyanogenMod 7.
Other thing i would like to ask is Gold Card, do i really need to make it? I'm asking because i dont have second sdhc card.. im not sure if i have any brandings in my phone.
Thanks in advance.
Go to Settings>About phone>Software information and post the software version - we'll go from there

Awesome! Right, before you do anything download this:

It's the RUU of the stock ROM so should you ever need to go back to stock you can.
As for what ROM to start with, a lot of people suggest LeeDroid as it's an easy introduction to a rooted ROM yet still has Sense. Not sure how up-to-date it is these days, mind
My first ROM and still using it, is LeeDroid and I havent even bothered to look at others, it works perfect, very fast and give you A2SD+.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
LeeDroid is kinda outdated, why not try some GB(Gingerbread) Roms?
Depends if the person likes Sense. I do so having tried the (buggy) 2.3 ROMs available I'll be waiting for a Sense-based 2.3 ROM
Gingerbread roms are fine really. Working for me no problem.
I think there should be a dedicated thread about roms because this is prob the 100th thread on what rom should I choose or what ever this week. Seriously.
I just successfully rooted and installed my first custom Rom (LeeDrOiD 2.3d).
Much <3 for all the help!
Cheers.

sorry i ment i have a rooted phone ill edit original post to reflect that
It really depends on what your after, do you want a stock Rom that's updated or a custom
This would be my first destination

Read requirements for the Rom u want some require new radio, ext partitions or s-off to work

thanks alot for the reply i think id rather stick with a stock rom thats updated ill check the link out thank u very much
No worries stock roms are at the very bottom

I dunno what you really mean with newest ROM.
Newest rooted stock ROMs don't give your phone much benefits as well as probable additional bugs.
Custom ROMs have more speed, less bloatware, more memory space, additional functionalities, etc. some even with newer android version.
1. I would find a stable custom ROM (not the experimental ones) so that you can have something more for your phone without the probable bugs.
2. The term bugs, it is relative, perhaps you won't be experiencing it like some people do with the respective ROM.

[Q] How to Unroot Desire to Stock 2.1 from DevNull 1.0.3 ROM?

Hey guys,
I was unable to find a well explained, and simple, answer to my question anywhere: how do I restore a GSM Desire (Telus) to stock 2.1 from latest DevNull 1.0.3 ROM? Having flashed a few custom ROM's, and deciding I like the stock Sense UI best, I was hoping someone could explain, in noob terminology, how to perform this procedure. Any help would be greatly appreciated and a donation considered for quick resolution. Thanks in advance.
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version 32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27
Kernel version 2.6.35.13-stable
Build number GRJ22
Have a look through the Desire Index an there is a bit called RUU. You can just run that.
You can also go through the rom list and pick a rom that is based on HTC Sense since you prefer that. You would still have the stock rom.... so to speak.

[Q] rooting evo bild 4.22

sooooooooooooo i just got my evo today (from the sprint store) and have been doing some reading about rooting. i went to a wiki and saw that the current build can't be rooted yet. in my device information it says i have build number 4.22.651.2. that can't be rooted yet right? I also would like to know where the best place is to start learning about rooting and roms and everything (kernals and everything i need to know so I don't mess this bad boy up). I used to have a TP2 that I knew how to flash but this is a totally different ball game. thanks in advance for the help. everybody at xda is and has always been great and very helpful.
