Please help. Need to go back to stock evo

Hello everyone,
Can someone please point me to a stock 4.24.651.1 rom? I need to get my phone back to stock. I rooted with unrevoked. I can only find odex or deodex (sorry if wrong) versions. I would like the original unrroted version if it is out there. Please, I have searched and just cant find what I am looking for. Even just a point in the right direction would help as I just can figure this out!!

1st wrong section
2nd you didn't look to hard
3rd - here you go - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141

I tried that and followed that video already. I cant find the stock rom that is not rooted and some of the info I found there seemed out of date with a rom that was to old to use according to my phone. Im sorry if this is the wrong section. Im not sure shere to post. I thought this would be the appropriate section since I found a lot of ROM stuff here. I would be happy to post elsewhere if I knew the right place to post.

Maybe you were looking for this?

Keep in mind, if you are rooted, you will lose it. If you install any of the 4.2 ones you wont be able to root it again until they come up with one.

YES!!! Thank you, I believe that is what I need. I really appreciate you pointing me to that site. For some of us who dont get on the threads alot it can be a bit frustrating trying to find the right info. I appreciate your help and not slamming me for asking my question.

Nobody will "slam" you for asking questions but thy will for posting in the wrong section. But it was nice for Chamala to answer your question and let you know it was the wrong section.

Another mirror and a great resource: http://goo-inside.me/supersonic or just http://goo-inside.me if you want to browse all they have to offer.
Also this thread in these very forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884060
I don't bother fighting the wrong forums, not searching, etc anymore. It's not worth the effort and XDA mods don't really care anymore, especially with the EVO becoming a budget phone.

I need professional help please

Dear professionals,
I'm having a problem and I really need your help.
I have bought the "HTC Desire S" off ebay and it came out to be Orange locked, I have unlocked it successfully however it still has Orange ROM and all the useless Orange apps, can someone please tell me how to remove it and install a regular official ROM as they r very annoying and the ROM has no updates..
I appreciate your help

take it easy, u might hurt ur self

ok its not quite in the right place, but no need to bite his head off.
anyway, in answer to your question, the way i removed the branding from my vodafone DS was this
http://revolutionary.io/ download this tool and follow its instructions, this will root your phone and give you a recovery tool that will allow you to flash a new ROM onto your phone.
With the phone rooted, you will be able to back up your data using an app from the market. Titanium Backup is the usual favorite.
EDIT : may be wrong about it providing root, I personally skipped the backup step as I had no data to lose, but if that is the case there are guides in the forums for obtaining root access
next look through this forum to find a ROM that suits your needs, from the sound of things you want the stock one, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1230029 should suit you.
download the zip file and transfer it to your SD card.
next you need to reboot into your recovery mode by turning the phone off, then hold the vol down button and power button together and selecting recovery from the menu
finally use the volume buttons to select install zip from SD card, and point it at your downloaded rom. it may take a few mins so allow it to finish then select reboot phone.
again this first boot may take a little time, but once its up you should have a debranded ROM as if you had just bought the phone new.
Add the details for your google account and redownload your backup app so you can restore your data and you are good to go

thank you very much for your help,
I shall give it a try,
by the way, will be able to install official updates on it, or will I have to stick with custom ROMs for ever?
thanks again

Nooo, not forever. Just until you get a new device
But seriously: Custom roms don't work with official updates. The trick is that most of the custom rom developers provide their own flashable updates for their roms. The difference is in the way you perform the update. There are even fairly developed custom roms, like MIUI, which have their own over-the-air updates (actually more often than official updates are coming.)
EDIT: In fact, you can switch back to a stock rom anytime and get the official updates back.

lol, possibly....hello,
although a lot of effort had been put into creating a lot of resources which are very user friendly, so it's quiet frustrating when they aren't even looked at.
Plus development is for just that, which is why the moderator moved the thread.

Thanks for the info mimirom
OK, I understand... but how do I get the official stock rom?, and by stock that means it has no Orange apps at all right ?

Once unlocked, i.e. rooted, you can use titanium backup or a root file explorer to uninstall the apps you don't need from the rom you are running atm.

Well, again: read around the forum a little, please. There is a sticky thread right on the top of the development section, called ROMS/RECOVERY/ROOT etc. It's a must read for newcomers. Very useful thread. There you find a link to a collection of stock roms. These are distributed as .exe files, so you can run them in windows and a simple-to-use installer will pop up and help you with pushing the stock rom to your phone. It is advisable that you double check that you are flashing the rom you really want. Someone here will help you to choose the right one.
EDIT: By the way in the general section (where we are now with this thread) there is also a very useful sticky. It's called Guide for Newcomers to Android. Seriously, it's a good read, given that you own an Android phone...

OK man, I will do that, thanks for the tips

Thanks chris5s, Ill definitely give it a shot.

This tool would help to get rid of the annoying Orange splash screen, and other useless apps could be removed as stated before.
Of course, best way is to install generic HTC European rom or custom rom of your choice.
Aforementioned tool would also help install roms, radios, etc, of your choice.
Good luck
Peace
Edit: sorry, Android flasher won't help install roms, but will help with installing custom recovery - Ext4 or Clockwork Mod - essential in s-off/rooted flashing.

[Q] I am dumb, how to use custom Roms

Hey.
Just bought a HTC Evo 3D for £220.00 and I have no idea what roms are ect, infact this is my first android phone, and like the idea of being able to have a better camera on my phone and using beats audio.
I read your how to guide on how to instal this, but it went way over my head. I dont even know what a ROM is or kernal ect..
Is there a step by step dummy guide for someone who has never used a android phone before eg:
First install this program on your PC then do this, then you need to get this file and install it here ect and then do this.
I am seriously android dumb, my last phone was a sony Elm which would not even get the internet. and now hooked on the android phones.
Thanks so much.

be carefull when u flashing or unlocking ok..i brick my android phone several time..<softbrick> until yesterday..my first HARDBRICK when unlocked bootloader..

Hi I know what you mean but really you just need to search around google is your best friend and also his other friend called you tube you will find all your answers but just make sure to read before you try but you will be fine we all started just like you so I know how you feel good luck

Welcome! No questions are dumb. We all have to start somewhere! I started Android with the Droid X. Android rules.

Youtube will also probably help you since you can actually see and pause the video at your own time following instructions step by step.
Good luck man!!!

[Q] Unexperienced but wanting to root.

Hi XDA Devolopers,
I can imagine this thread comming by daily. I've tried to search for it, but all I get is something that, to me is, "Hocus pocus". Clearly I am probably one of the least technical people found on this forum, but still I've got a question, and it'd be awesome if you could help me.
As I said: I am unknown with the whole Rooting thing. I have no idea where to begin. All I have done so far is making my decision on which ROM i'd like to use. Which is the JB 4.1.1 AOSP build #6.0.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779133)
I've downloaded all the files, but I have not a clue what to do with that. I've read that you must first unlock and/or root an android device, make a backup and then flash and install the ROM.
Where do I start with this? What program do I use to Root my tablet and how do I go on from there?
Thank you guys so much in advance! It really looks like an awesome community, and I really don't want to mess with that, but help would be greatly appreciated.

search for PERI tool to root and install recovery, then flash the ROM u want through recovery.

Do like catfishbilly say and use PERI.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681155
Just read read and read, don't rush. good luck.

PERI is the way to go, although everything needs a lot of reading, I was only reading threads for close to a month before rooting and installing ROMs.
Good luck.

How to start flashing ROM

Hello, before I begin, let me just start by saying I'm the biggest noob at all this. I have tried reading threads and basics anf everything but its hard for me to undeestand all of it coz theres no all-in-one guide.
So, can somebody explain what are the requirements to flash a new ROM? Do I need to root then unlock my bootloader then install a custom recovery? Is there anything else I need besides downloading stuff? Because I just dont get the complexity of all this stuff.

You can visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3044193 to know about terms you might be confused of.
To start flashing you have to unlock your bootloader. If you use adb then type this command
Fastboot oem unlock
After that you need to replace your stock recovery with better recovery to have some greater control amd a custom ROM for your phone
[NOTE] Before doing anything backup all your stuffs.
May be this help you I will post a detailed info. About flashing, I will inform you then:thumbup::thumbup:
