Now that I am with AT&T, I have no use for my Evo. Well, a good friend at work dropped her evo and cracked the screen. Long story short, I gave her my old Rooted evo but we ran into a problem. When she went to have it activated on her account, they couldn't get a certain star code to work in order for her to either retrieve or enter some information. (IDK, I wasn't there). The rep on the phone said it was due to the fact that it was rooted with a "cooked" ROM. So, my first question is 1. Does anyone have or know of a rom that I can flash that wont cause this issue when she tries to activate it on her account again and 2, If not, does anyone have an RUU file with a shipped rom because all the links I have found no longer work. Thanks.
What ROM was on the phone?
You have to be running a Sense ROM in order to activate, use the dialer functions, update profile and PRL. Just flash a stock rooted ROM and it'll be fine. Here is a stock rooted ROM from Captain Throwback. It's based on the most recent software update.

Also, here are the RUU files for the EVO, should you decide to go that route, instead.

I have a Droid incredible that is currently on revol service not Verizon . I want to use a new Rom because I am currently using a stock Rom ... but will I lose my flash setting for revol if I use one of these roms .....will I have to pay to get my phone flashed again. I have been searching for a answer all day ..
I don't think you would, unless you were to flash back to stock. When you flash a new rom, you don't have to reactivate the phone, just put your google info in again. So my guess would be no, but I'm not 100% sure about that, maybe another more knowledgeable member can give you a definite answer.
Well, not sure about revol but I have a Dinc flashed to MetroPCS and I do not lose my flash when I install a new rom. I DO however lose MMS and internet which I have to reset after every install but no biggie. You should be OK...
I've looked for a few other threads about this but nothing seems to exactly fix this issue.
For some reason my phone keeps thinks that we are in Curitiba Brasil. I'm definitely in St. Louis MO right now. I've tried looking for a way to use the Rom Utility Manager to put my phone back to the way it was fresh out of the box but every search I do yields a rooted 2.2 version. (Granted I wouldn't mind rooting but all the versions I've read about seem to not perform as good as the stock)
Had my EVO rooted on 2.1 but when 2.2 came out I unrooted and restored to stock but now I can't find the RUU I used to unroot.
So here are my questions,
1) Has anyone else experienced this with stock EVO's?
2) where can I download the original RUU that came on the EVO 4g so I can then update OTA back to 2.2
I wouldn't mind eventually getting a fully functional 2.3 but I think that kind of goes without saying.

1) The time zone thing is random and it's an HTC or Sprint thing. It was just happening to my girl's Evo, and my roomate's Evo Shift. I was able to correct it by deleting the clock widget. Rebooting the phone, and then re adding the clock widget. Not sure if it'll be so simple for you, but thats what worked for me.
2) I'm a little confused about you're second request. Right now you are currently rooted or unrooted? on 2.1 or 2.2? If all you need is an unrooted factory ROM, this link right here has all of the RUU's and PC36IMG's for the Evo.

Good luck. Let me know if you need more help.
Thanks for the assist.
Tried removing the clock widget and rebooting but I wasn't having any luck. It would work for a few minutes then go back to Brazilian time.
Ended up going the route of the most recent RUU. aside from having to re-establish all my favorite apps and settings all looks good. at this point I might look at some decent rooted roms to flash over
I use a small carrier here in Hawaii called MobiPCS, they carry the HTC Desire. It's an awesome phone however they are slow as hell with updates. They are still stuck on 2.1. For a while i used the no radio USCC pre rooted 2.2 update but decided i wanted some custom rom awesomeness... First i installed Cyanogenmod 7 on my phone and all was wonderful until i noticed i was unable to receive SMS. Sending was no problem but people weren't able to send them to me. Reflashed the rom and still encountered the same problem. Tried Oxygen and MIUI but still was unable to receive SMS. Sadly for some odd reason my 2.2 backup was corrupt and now I am stuck back at 2.1 as the link for the 2.2 upgrade is now down
Just wondering if anybody had any ideas how to fix the SMS problem or if they had a copy of the pre rooted 2.2 uscc no radio update.
Im having the same problem with in coming text, been asking mobi about the carrier
info. there is a fix but you need cdma working software and need to flash it to the phone from a computer. its a big undertaking. but they also said theres a couple places in town that unlocks phones that maybe able to do it for you. One place is at village market the dvd place there they also sell unlocked phones...but if you want 2.2 they will give it to you at mobi i have 2 desires they did it no problem.
i have a rooted evo running a sense based rom and im trying to swap my number over to the galaxy s2 and vice versa. ive been speaking with sprint and have been given the steps to do a automatic activation however its not working. i then tried to manually activate per the instructions given by sprint and still no go..anyone have a solution/fix for this in order to activate my evo again?
You say that you are rooted, are you on a custom rom as well. If yes, I hope it is a stable one. Otherwise you could also flash one of the froyo roms just in case as well and try the steps.
Btw at what step are you having an issue at?
Flash something built on the stock OTA update. You said you are running sense, but I work with a guy who had issues with the carrier when moving his number to the Evo 3D because he was using a 3.x based port (IE. Kingdom, Synergy). He flashed to Fresh 4.2.0.0 which is built on the first gingerbread update and everything worked that they told him to do after that. You could try that.
I'm looking for all the help I can get.
I have a Sprint GS4 mini and I got this for my girl. all my phones I've always picked it up directly at sprint so it was always activated so I wasn't away that I would have problems activating her phone that I bought online.
Trying to be proactive so once I gave her the phone nothing would need to be done. I rooted it and installed a custom rom so I could have the bloatware and everything setup nicely for her.
I found out they can't activate it because of the custom rom and it didn't have the sprint PRL. I know the easy answer would be to flash stock, but the 1 stock file that's floating around online does not work, it crashes in ODIN.
I have the Dev of the ROM working with me but i'm hoping to help him and me by putting this out to everyone to see if anyone has any thoughts or a good stock firmware.
Also is it possible for anyone running SPHL-520 to upload a nandroid w/o Data so I can try to restore. I'm lost on what I can do now.
Thanks guys.
