Lost my nandroid backup

Hey guys hope someone can help me out here. I have been flashing different roms to try them out and am currently running cm7. I have always kept a nandroid backup of my stock sense rom in case anything went wrong or if I had to take the phone back to sprint. However I have somehow managed to erase my back up and want to know where to go to download a stock evo rom. Apologies if this is a stupid question but I'm still in the process of learning.

if you mean stock as in right out of the box from sprint then check out this:

Thx for that, what about a method where I wont loose root access? Is that possible?

idk. i used that and then rooted again to start over. it says it wipes ur sd card but it doesn't wipe like wallpapers n zips u put on it.

Check out the sprint lovers rom in the dev section. Im mobile so I can't link it.

Right on for this hint. Do you know if I will be able to receive ota updates from sprint with this rom, like when gingerbread is updated to evo.

You will not get OTA updates, but can reasonably expect rooted 2.3 Sense ROMs here on XDA within a couple hours of the official release. If you do get an OTA update notification in Sprint Lovers it will get rid off root if you upgrade. The phone will still be S-off so it should be easy to go back.

This is as close to stock as you can get while maintaining root privileges. This is a rooted stock rom that has NOT been deodexed.

Wanna revert to ics...

Hey guys, im rooted on stock jb for tmobile with stock recovery. I wanna get custom recovery and flash back to ics and use a custom rom like wicked v7.
To do this do I just download goo manager, install its recovery, wipe then flash? Or do I have to change the firmware etc?
Sorry, I usually search for my solutions but im read mixed stuff on reverting and I really dont wanna brick this thing. I even kinda forgot how to do all this since I havent touched my old sensation in months.
Thanks guys.

Yup.

If you're rooted, 1. download goo manager 2. install openrecovery script 3. flash ROM of choice. You may need to wipe cache and data if you get a bunch of FC's since you're going back to ICS from JB. Don't forget to do a nandroid (step 2.5).

Already on Frosty ics, but thanks guyss

What I would first do is Odin the ics so you have all drivers installed properly then root and flash rom of choice
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I agree with Crisisx1. I know you said you're already running Frosty (I'm a Wicked guy myself) but if you notice any anomalous behavior, I'd definitely Odin to stock ICS and then go through the proper flashing process. This will ensure all of your partitions/drivers are properly set up. GL man.

So far so good, if any weird things happen ill deff odin back, thanks again guys.

[Q] If I am installing an updated ROM, do I need to do a clean wipe first?

Search is down so forgive me if this is a repeat question. The PACman rom was recently updated and I want to get it. I'm doing a backup regardless, but not having to restore from the backup if the update works out would be nice.

Just flash the update.don't wipe.

And if he has a tons of apps force closing? I suggest you do a clean install .

But if he does not clean wipe then he's saying that he would restore data that means even more FCs
And I updated in a similar way without wiping,no FCs that's why i suggested that
Sent from my One V using xda app-developers app

I flashed the update with no wipe like mihirengg19 said to do. Seems to be working fine.
The only FC's I was getting was on the storage page in settings. I haven't run into any new FCs yet.
Thanks for your help.

Nandroid before you do a dirty flash. That way you can wipe and restore from nandroid easily.

Im trying to see if i missed somthin, i flashed a stock rom 4.2.1 using latest twrp recovery then i used root keeper to backup my root, then went into settings n hit system update.after it all loaded up i ran root keeper again n rerooted

Having trouble and need help.

So I am having trouble flashing a new ROM I have done it in the past and am used to doing it so I know what needs to be done. When I download a ROM I want to use I download it to my phone directly then I reboot into recovery I have the latest twrp version and I wipe everything then I go to install the ROM and after about 2 seconds it says failed. No matter what ROM I try it does this and I've tried downloading them several times thinking it was a bad download. I was able to install a stock one but I don't like stock and none of the others are working I don't known if I'm doing something wrong or if its my phone but help me please. Thanks in advance.

I am downloading over WiFi. And no I have not. What are they supposed to match to? Not really up on the lingo just know what to do and stuff. Very basic stuff

Are you sure you downloaded the correct TWRP Recovery for your phone?

Yes I am. It was doing it on an older version I had so I thought it was cause I hadn't updated in a while and it still kept doing it after I updated.

Hi there
1) Are you from Canada and using a Canadian Recovery for d2can? if so this could be a problem since many updater-scripts see this a fail since they are looking for d2att
2) What ROM's are you trying to flash? AOSP or Stock based touchwiz rom's?
also I would like to direct you to the Q&A, Help and troubleshooting forum, in the event that this post get's moved, you will find it there. They are busy people, but now you know no hard feeling man, just trying to make their job's easier!
cheers

Thanks a lot! And no I'm in the usa and aosp ROMs are what I'm trying to install the stock touchwiz ones worked.
