[Q] Downgrade EVO to 2.1 - General Questions and Answers

I have been using the official evo ota froyo for a few days and I have had bad battery life and the touch screen stopped working once. I also decided I wanted to root my phone to get wifi tethering so I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to downgrade back to 2.1 so I can use unrevoked to root my phone? Thanks in advanced!

I really could use that...

Did you try this?-aww...it says I'm to new to par a link but try searching downgrade android2.2 and click the link dat says something like visit your local Sprint store to downgrade or something like that.-hope that helped.

What rom did you load on when You rooted it? Because this is the link to the "stock" fender rom on cursordroid's post.

I'm currently running that what I'm looking for is the unrooted stock image files there is no benefit of having this phone rooted anyway.

just sell it rooted so the buyer wont have to go through the trouble; how much you selling it for anyway?
Im sorry buddy your screwed. I guess thats another specfic detail I have to add to the fender rooting thread. Once you root, That image is gone. Unless you can find one on the internet and convert it, you will not get it back. Problem is, for us to get recovery to be able to make a back up, we have to wipe the phone clean as is. So once you downgrade its gone.
I think I may just take the fender tut down. its ridiculous at how many people do it, when I have said there is no point, and then ask somethign liek this later.
It can still get OTA updates (over the air) from Tmobile, so just wait about a month and 2.1 will be on there all on its own.
I actually rooted it without your thread. I found your thread when i ran into the no touch problem. I used cursors ROM. I've been working with android phones/ROMs since the G1 came out. I was working on compiling a kernel for the phone because i actually like it(never had a mytouch b4) but now that i N1 i have no use for it and i want to sell it. I guess i'll just have to make a ROM based off one of the 32A port and hopefully the person that buys it of ebay won't know the difference :/
FYI: not everyone here is retarded i know what OTA means -_-

Gime a break dude.. I was just syaing in case because there are a lot of people here who dont know.
And if you were compiling a kernel why did you stop? because the best 3 guys are on it now and they cant get the new drivers to work.
Mainly because I made no progress and im attempting to sell the phone as I said I have a nexus 1 now

[Q] 4.22.651.2 Gingerbread Auto Root???

Hi XDA DEVELOPERS, can you find an auto root software for the new gingerbread 4.22.651.2 update? I didn't know when you update to the new 4.22.651.2 gingerbread; you can't use any of the previous rooting programs to root a phone such as the Evo 4G. I would really appreciate your help or the help of the forum community, because i really want to root my Evo 4G Thanks.
I would agree I got my new phone today (old one was broken and was rooted) and I cant seem to root my new phone I have 4.22.651.2, 2.3.3 AV, and 2.15_003 PRI. If you can point me to a rooting solution I would greatly appreciate it.
how about rooting it yourself ??

LOL yeah really 'helpful'
Is there any sign of root for the 4.22.651.2 update? my replacement came with it and this Sprint garbage is horrible. I had MIUI previously and miss root access. Unfortunately I'd have no idea where to start to look to do it myself.....So is there anything going on with it?
I'm in the same boat. The right 1cm of my screen stopped responding to touch input, so they sent me a replacement with 4.22.651.2 and 2.15.00.05.02 baseband. Really missing root and CM7 right now!
I'm having the same issue. I thought I was gonna be slick and root my phone in 10 min. I tried unrevoked3 but no luck. I got an error saying my firmware was too new. I'm seaching for a solution but no luck at this time.

[Q] desire 2.3

hey all,i own a HTC Desire and im from australia with telstra,ive seen that the update to android 2.3 is available on the developers site and was wondering if it is worth updating it,ive been told that my SMS and MMS could not work afterwards,what is the go with that? will i be affected? if so how would i fix this? if this dosent work can i go back to 2.2,and is this the final official update or is there going to be a proper one that dosent have any bugs or worries,also anyone from aus that has updated with this please tell me what its like.
Don't do it, the bootloader in the official release is locked. That means no root, no going back, no fixing anything that the update breaks. I think the update breaks more than SMS.
Try one of the many 2.3 custom roms in desire development, if you don't like it you can always change rom or go back to stock.
i havent rooted my desire anyway,i tried multiple times but it wouldnt work for some reason,ive tried 2 different ways to do it with no luck,well have u actually seen it it or tried it? coz ive heard some saying that it works fine,if i am going to 2.3 then i dont really need to root anyway

[Q] Alltel SCH-R760 Help (Flashing)

The other day I let the Samsung Company lead me when they said there was an update for my phone. Thinking that I would enjoy the lovely 4.0 ICS as a change from the Nice 2.3.6 GB. I let Samsung talk me into flashing my alltel phone. Low and behold they gave me a USC flash to replace my current Alltel network. This is the first time doing something this drastic to my cellphone and now I don't have any data communication on my phone. Does anyone know where I can find an alltel gingerbread flash for the Galaxy S2 SCH-R760. I've searched (what I feel as) Everywhere and can't find anything. My phone is only 2-3 months old so I would prefer not to root it.

I am trying to root.. I also have Alltel Samsung Galaxy S II 4.52 inch Model SCH-R760.. It's also running stock Gingerbread 2.3.6, and since there won't be any OTA Official updates for this particular model, I am going to try to root and update to ICS or Jellybean.. I have looked at several forums, and I have never root before.. Yep I'm a NOB.. Can anyone help me, who has this device and successfully rooted..
Of course I would rather not root, but to the best of my knowledge, it's the only way I will be able to get ICS or Jellybean..
