[Q] Revert to old Firmware

I can't root my EVO 4G phone because the firmware is too new! any idea??

Yeah, do a search. Kthanks. Nobody can root 2.3.3 yet, and it is not possible to downgrade, just be patient

Wow a question in the development section....who wouldve thunk it....

When a FIRST POST goes RIGHT INTO the wrong thread. lol. wow! worst of all, the guy didn't even READ ONE PINNED THREAD. however, asking him/her to search is stupid guys. your search feature DOES NOT WORK. Needs redesigned! I tried to use it today. it's too hard. lol. there is NO easy way to direct it to evo's only.

This is just getting so old though

Okay, I guess I'll be the first one to enable someone who didn't realize a quick search on the web would be faster than joining XDA and posting an idiotic question regardless of what section it was posted.

You literally skipped right over this, it's on the first page of the forum. You wanna root your Evo? Donate to some of these people hard at work finding a solution. And before you ask about the youtube videos saying there's a method, it's a method that only works if you've previously rooted your phone and then unrooted for whatever reason.
*sigh* Read the damn thread that says READ FIRST so you don't get such hateful responses in the future

What is this "search" you guys speak of? Lol

Better learn to expect it now that the Evo is a budget device.

Yes there is, I search the EVO dev and theme section quite often if I have a question, simply enter the section. And click on the search tab at the top, hell you can search a specific thread by going into it and using the same search tab. Anybody with a quarter of a clue and a couple minutes of forum time in their life can figure that out.

My experience in Q&A

So I finally posted in the Q&A section last night because I messed up my SystemUI.apk while trying to theme it...
I asked a simple question asking if anyone could post the stock apk from the latest leak... and never got a response yet.
I no longer need it because I have flashed CM9 since it was what I had on my SD when I flashed today.
I now know why there are so many users that post questions in the general section of the forum. This is the most disappointing part of this community other than the people who like stirring up arguments in the community.
If there is anyone else who has had a similar experience or that thinks that this forum lacks in helpful information, post here to explain your story and how you feel the community should change.

I understand completely what you are saying. I used to live in the Q&A section to try to help because there's not a lot of people that DO put in the effort and go out their way. I didn't get my "thanks" from being a mod, believe me, lol. I try to be laid back for that reason in the general section, but I can only allow so many questions before it gets overwhelming. I have seen a handful of members in this section that will see people through to get the help the asking members need. And I love that. Sometimes you have to give it a little more time, or a shameless bump is in order.

Yeah, I could have given it a little bit more time but without a status bar I didn't want to wait...
I guess instead of complaining about it, I will take the initiative to contribute my experience with the E4GT to the community. I'm no developer but I will try to help as best as I can.

Did you flash agats ics theme over the stock fe22? If thats the case he labeled them wrong and you have to flash deodexed instead of odexed theme. It was mentioned in the fe22 thread, happened to a few of us but you would really have to read everything to find it.
I look at q&a sometimes but I learned most of the stuff here from reading and most of the questions there are because people are too lazy to read. I typically just provide a link to a thread if I do answer any questions. Yours is valid though I flashed and downloaded the rom and that stupid theme 3 times thinking i had a bad flash checking md5 and stuff.

I flashed the odexed theme... I also thought it was a bad flash. I usually read most of the thread and the comments.
I just didn't read enough to see that there was a problem flashing over stock.

This time it was buried and as dumb as I felt flashing a theme that said deodexed over a stock rom it worked.

Thats pretty demanding, seeing that you are asking for free help. You should wait longer, and if you cant, thats why its always suggested to NAND backup your stuff.

You must realize that we all have lives outside of this forum, I too try to help out as often as I can with what little knowledge I have. Its the only way I can give back but I also work full-time and go to college full-time. So there are a few days where I can't find the time to post or help out. I'm not by any means saying that this is the case for everyone here, just simply giving you an example that may or may not be the case for some of us here.
I can almost promise you, however, if you give it enough time, someone WILL come to your aid.
I just hope you realize this and don't think any less of these people here. They really do put a lot of time and effort into helping and developing for all of us in hopes of getting nothing more than a simple "thanks".
I also hope that your next experience is nothing like the previous one.

I agree with the backup idea, but I'm not touching the backup restore functions on an ICS kernel until it has been fully tested and determined to be safe to use.
I thought I had backups of the SystemUI on my SD card but they were for earlier builds and would not work. I realize that everyone has their own life outside of XDA. That is why when I saw that my question didn't even have one reply when several other questions had new comments, I decided to just flash a new ROM.
The reason I have started this thread is because I am not the first user to be ignored when asking a simple question to ask if someone could help with such a simple issue.

Personally, I believe the Q&A section is pretty much useless and have never used it to gather or inquire information. As long as one uses the Search function in the forums effectively, there's no need for it.

In theory, yea. But a lot of those answers you "searched" for are found in the Q&A section.
---Jay--- From the CM9 powered E4GT

I admit I don't frequent Q&A as much as I do General and Development, but if I see something I feel that I can answer then I always try to contribute. If it's something completely out of my league but I know someone who might know the answer then I will, occasionally, post that information.
While I understand OP's need for a quick resolution (although most questions in Q&A need the same) I agree with those who have advocated allowing a little more time for people to respond.
I know it can be frustrating (and intimidating) to be stuck on a problem with no answer but again, as stated in the posts above, sometimes people who can help simply aren't online at the time the problem is posted. Though I'm here a lot during the day (from work, shhhh) in the evenings my time is a bit more sporadic and I've come back to the computer with PMs from people who asked me something but thought I was ignoring them, that bothers me because I would never willingly ignore someone.
So I think Q&A definitely has its uses and maybe this post should be our tap on the shoulder to peruse it more often and see if there is something we can help answer.

To the OP.
Why didn't you just download one of the stock roms in the roms section and extract your own?
just curious.....

When most roms here are 1 click executable files its not so easy to extract the apk...
And with most of the roms that are zipped, they are already themed...
I have resolved my own issue by flashing a new rom, that was not the point of this thread... the point I wanted to bring up with this thread is that it is apparent that 95% of the users here only frequent General and Development. If more users just checked Q&A once and a while to see if there is anyone needing help with something that they have already experienced, they could easily reply with what they did to resolve the issue.
Let's all stop pointing the blame and help to better the community... we all can help in one way or another.

Jb roms

Totally new to this phone. Cracked my tbolt last week, got a used 32gig nexus. Ive unlocked, rooted, runnin liquid jb with imo newest kernel. I went with those first because im familiar with both devs. My question, and i love flashing, what are your fav rom/kernel combos for this phone. I found stock jb to be great, but didbt want to pay extra for tethering. I use it, but not often enough for $30 a month. Thanks in advance dudes n dudettes.

Threads like this have been beaten to death (atleast 1 per day). Go to q&a section, click the "search this forum" tab and enter "best rom".
*edit* they should really stop letting people create threads from the xda app...
good day.

Just a warning to you, threads like this are no longer allowed on xda. My suggestion is do a little reading through the roms your interested in and then do a little bit of trial and error until you find what your looking for.
Thread reported

Uh, i did not ask for "best rom" i asked what peoples favorites are. If you cant read, refrain from commenting. Geez, do people read before they type? Ive been a member a very longtime, never ceases to amaze me how people want to be the first to turn a thread into a flame off. All im trying to do is get ideas. Tbolt has almost no roms compared to here. These threads are active, im trying to keep up. If you dont have a fav combo, dont comment. If it needs to go to qna, thats fine by me.

Officer manning, ive got over 2 years on you and 1000 posts, i know the rules. I dont believe i broke a single rule, but then again, i read my post 3 times before i submitted making sure i specifically did not ask for the best rom. I hope your report makes you feel good though.

With the amount of users and different versions of the device we do get overwhelmed with these types of questions.
Everyone will have different opinions about their favorite ROM, but if you wish to discuss the different features each one has please use one of the threads already created for that.
There is a sticky in Verizon's development section that is a good place to start.

Why take all the effort to restore the stock ROM and stock bootloader, when i'm sure someone will have a custom ROM based on the official build, possibly in a day or two?

There's already a rom that came out. It's based on Rogers. It's exactly the same as at&t without bloatware. I have it and it runs great.

I've NEVER understood why in the world people want the "official" updates when they can simply wait a day or 2 for ROM chefs to cook up a bloat, crap free ROM! Why go thru the whole unroot, flash the update then re root again...... Makes NO sense to me, must be really impatient n00bs or something lol justsayin

I run this also, and it works great, but I will say that it's not EXACTLY the same. The lock screen news feed doesn't work, says it can't determine my country...in other words, not Canada, no newsfeed. It's minor stuff.

Shouldn't this be in Q&A/locked due to the fact that there's a discussion thread already for this?

The only reason people are getting "*****y", as you say, is because you posted your "question" in a development forum. I also was a noob at some point and still act like one here and there but I also show the fellow Xda'ers, devs, and mods alike respect by following the rules of xda and not getting snippy with the people trying to inform of a mistake made. Development sections are strictly for Rom releases and their corresponding threads. Had you posted this in the q&a section no one would have said a word to you. Friendly advice from a semi noob to a complete noob!
Ps people could get a whole lot meaner by the way!! Consider yourself lucky so far!

Second there already is a bunch of these so please search before posting

Please only start 1 thread about the same thing and that is presumably that you have already searched and there is not another thread out there for the very exact same thing.
The other threads are Gone and this one is Closed. I suggest you read a bit more and do a bit more research.
If somehow got up to enough posts to put this in the Dev section, they would eat you alive. The taste of fire that you got here would be nothing compared and then I would have to come in and do my thing and no one wants that.
