I'm in need of an RUU for AT&T. I have flashed a ROM and I feel like I was getting better battery life while on stock AT&T. I did make a backup before hand but it is not restoring properly. I know, I know. I should've read the twrp thread. Correct me if I'm wrong but also, can't I restore my backup and then flash a system.img?

or acknowledge that i'm asking a question, so without further ado
i want to flash the kernel to fix the 30fps cap on the novatek panel, but i don't want to do it without a way to fix it encase i want to get rid of it. i believe it's the stock boot.img i need but where do i find it and how do i flash it.
again sorry for the stupid question.
Flash whatever you want. Running any of the three RUU files will restore everything on your phone to stock unrooted and make it returnable.
If you flash the latest RUU, you won't be able to every root again (for now), so be sure you are returning it in that case.
Take a nandroid backup before flashing the new kernel. If you don't like the changes, restore your backup.
So I was one of the unfortunate ones who had their 4g totally hosed. I am going to flash a stock ROM to make it look stock and take it into Sprint.
My questions are as follows:
If I flash a stock non-rooted ROM will it break my custom recovery? This leads to my next question, which is can I flash back via a Nandroid backup if Sprint tells me to take a hike?
Thanks in advance!
You may want to follow some of the unroot threads in the dev section... You can flash another rom but more than likely you will have s-off in your recovery. If sprint wants to be d-bags they will still find out you are rooted. I would nandroid, copy the nandroid folder to your PC (and anything else ROOT related on the SDcard), wipe the phone/sd card and follow the un root methods.
I'm in the same boat. Just curious, what are you planning on telling them happened to your phone?
I apologize if this has already been answered, but I wasn't able to find an answer on the forums.
I was successful at flashing the CM6 stable ROM to my EVO 4g, but in order to do so I had to downgrade my bootloader to .76. I would like to restore my stock ROM using my nandroid backup, but it fails to load the boot image. Apparently this is because of a version mismatch?
Does anyone have the stock PC36IMG.zip file that I can download so I can restore the stock ROM?
Thanks!

Not sure if you really want the stock rom with all your settings back, or just want to go back to sense UI, but if it's the latter, here's the rooted stock rom to flash:

I would like to get the stock rom with all my settings/apps back, but I suppose I could try your link as a fallback if it's not possible.
US Cellular has been promising Froyo for the CDMA Desire since October, and I'm tired of waiting so I'm going to root it and flash a Froyo ROM myself. I read through the unrEVOked documentation, and it mentions that if I want to install official updates in the future I need to restore the recovery image, but it doesn't tell me how to get it. How do I pull the stock recovery image from my phone so that I can flash it back on should I need to?
You can't actually backup a whole rom without rooting first. You need the custom recovery to do a nandroid backup which will back up the whole rom. If anything does go wrong or you need to reinstall then you can just use an RUU to do it. US Cellular doesn't have an RUU yet but you can use other CDMA RUU's.
So am I to understand that there is no way to back up the stock recovery, as I would have to overwrite the existing recovery just to do backups in the first place?
Yep, root access is needed to back the whole ROM up
To be honest, it's better with root anyway and a lot better when you install a custom rom.... from my experience anyway.
im going to flash a gpe firmware but before I do that how do I backup the current firmware I have in my m8?
I went thru a lot trying to figure out how to flash the current firmware for sense I have already and not sure how to do it again its been a while so if I can back it up that would be great just dont know how yet if anybody can help it be much appreciated?
If you take a Rom backup (Nandroid) you Firmware isn't included in this backup.
There are several threads with firmware for differen CID and carrier, so if you could finde it once you can do it again.
