So ever since I have updated my evo to 2.2 my gmail doesnt push. sometimes one account will but the other wont. I have to manually update it to see new mail. I am not rooted . I used the Mybackup app to back my phone up and did a complete reinstall of stock software. That did nothing except not my contacts wont sync with my gmail. it sucks. Please offer help if you know anything.
My second part is that I was thinking of trying Root out by useing unrevoked. which unrevoked should I use? and what is the difference. Im new to this. My main reason for rooting is to use the wifi hotspot. any thoughts? I also was wondering if I root does it wipe my phone and all settings? and if I want to un-root later will that also wipe my phone back to factory and lose all my data and customizations? any help would be great. thanks!
someone has to be able to help in here. please
Loaded cm10 20120927 last night and all ran good. no data drops or anything. i ram cyanogenmod backup this morning and on reboot no imei or anything. good that i backup it up to my sdcard and to dropbox.
if one of the MODS would like to move this to the development forum thats ok. i know that if wouldn't matter because cm10 probably didnt cause the imei loss.
Edit: I took a chance and rebooted again hoping that it was just something sbout the reboot and imei, phone number etc etc is back. Good for me, but not sure I have read of this happening. Anyway, all is good now.

Did you not back up your IMEI via ADB?

yes I did
I'm not sure why you made this thread though if you had your imei backed up and it came back after a reboot. I lost mine 3-4 times and it came back each time after a reboot, I never had to recover from my backup yet though.
Installed JB ROM on S3 Verizon - not connecting to network
Any suggestion on how to fix this this issue.
I install a JB rom last night, but it seemed like it deleted the IMEI number off the phone. Through the forums, I was able to restore ( I didn't not back Up IMEI - i know) the IMEI number back on the cell phone.
However, the phone is unable to register to the Verizon network. I have an inside Verizon guy, who helped associate, on his end, my IMEI number to my account/ sim card. still not connecting. has any one else got this problem, and able to resolve?
I should be getting a new Sim Card tonight, hoping that might resolve the issue, if not, I will call Verizon Warranty to get a new phone.
PS. on verizonwireless, it shows that Samsung S3 is associated with my SIM/ telephone number.
thanks for any suggestion or help in advance.

you should be able to do a factory reset, that should solve your problem but you will lose all data and apps that you had installed In order to save your contacts, messages etc, its best to make backup first, you can download My Phone explorer to your PC and client to phone from google play store to backup everything before factory reset or flashing stock ROM
Factory reset is normally done by going into settings> privacy > factory reset. or it may be located in an another location in settings.
or you can follow this and flash a stock kernel to solve your problem

Is there a method/software that can backup carrier info? Buddy of mine wants to upgrade to 4.4.2 but he is flashed to Selectel Wireless and that would wipe out his carrier info and have to dish out another $50 to get reflashed again. Was hoping there was a way to backup that info... install 4.4.2 and then reload the info.
No?
define carrier info. Do you mean his IMEI and baseband version?

Hate to sound stupid, but whatever info you might lose doing an upgrade or even a Factory Reset. He did a reset a couple days after having his phone flashed from Verizon to Selectel and his phone wasn't working right. Was making calls but they were showing up as another number and ended up having to pay the guy that originally flashed it... another $50 to reflash and fix it. Thought there be some method to save this info. I can only imagine there must be a way, as there must be people into messing with roms who have to go through this process each time.
Free can of beer for the correct answer.
Maybe an NVbackup in terminal might do the trick. I don't know. If you figure it out let me know. I'm thinking about flashing another rom and seeing what happens. When I originally had a guy flash selectel I had to be on a TW rom. After this I restored a nandroid of nameless and still had service although in both cases my new number never showed up in about phone / status. I was told to use 8sms to change my phone number in there and then it would show up. On my first flash before I was told about the 8sms trick, I went home and was unable to do anything, no service. I went back flashed TW in his office. Did the 8 sms trick, then restored the same namless nandroid. All is well. Knock on wood. Last night I wanted to wipe data cache and instead of doing it in CWM or actually phil's touch, I did it in the phone settings and it wiped my friggin internal sd partition. What a freaking bummer. Luckily there was nothing super important on there I keep most important stuff on my external SD. I might try tonight to flash a TW just to see if my signal gets a bit better but I'm going to try to figure out how to backup my settings first. The second time there, the owner did the reflash and told me about the 8sms. He was clueless about flashing different roms. There's got to be a way to backup all the needed information in an AOSP rom, or an app, I just gotta figure out how. If you figure this out let me know
Thanks and good luck

I remember that would happen to be at first. I kept messing with Odin. Don't know what happened but it finally worked. Maybe you can try to reset without the SIM card pop it back in your phone might restart to install necessary files for it to work.

Thanks for the help, I ended up cashing in my Samsung premium care and got a brand new gs8 in about 12 hours. I'm impressed.
