Ok i just got a new battery today and i thought it was not draining. But with in couple of minutes it started draining again. So i called tmo and they are sending me another one. So i should just do stock odin on this one and i should be good right?
Yeah that works or you can just flash the stock update.zip from clockwork. And afterward just delete the clockwork file from your sd card.

did you do anything else besides root? install any root apps?

may be it was the set cpu? or the lag fix?
Were you using a profile with SetCPU, that DOES cause an issue.
wait, why didnt you put this in the previous thread you started?
Curious, do you have any way of quantifying this supposed battery drain? Are you aware of the bugs related to reported battery % versus actual battery %?

The usb port was very loose and the cord had to wiggled occasionally to get it to charge.

Was your battery draining before root?

So my question is pretty simple. What are the benefits of rooting? Do they outweigh voiding your warranty?
Opinions please.
you can install the RUU and revert back to the original. Apparently no one should be able to tell if it was rooted before.
If you have to ask you dont need it.
streaming video like hulu or megavideo.
wireless tether for free
uncapped fps for a snappier feel.
I guess I'll reply to the two helpful posts.
Uncapped FPS definitely sounds good, as well as the ability to theme and set cpu speed. Thanks for the info. Appreciate it.

Ability to install ROMs without Sense installed, such as CM6. In particular, this is a benefit (to me, and many others) because it unlocks HID bluetooth compatibility (e.g., Wiimote application, Apple Wireless Keyboard)

Root voids warrenty period. There is your answer. Can still get away with it. Also future reference. There is a search option. I answered this same topic 2 days ago. There isn't a reason not to. And winmax is fine. Some peoples Mac changes and have to fix it. Some roms don't have 4g. Its worth it to just tether for free.

I'm new to the Evo, and android in general, so a couple of quick questions -
When you guys say the fps limit is unlocked, is that just for the screen? Or is that also when recording 720p video (the framerate seems quite low in that)?
Can you root an Evo from Linux? I don't have a windows or mac PC, and the tutorials I've seen (I haven't done an extensive search yet) all seem to use windows.
What is the 90-100% power cycle? I don't believe I've seen reference to that before.
Sorry, not trying to hijack the thread, it just seemed an appropriate place for the questions.
I remember when this "what is root/why should I root" question plagued the G1 forum years ago.
The 90-100 power cycle is when when the phone % drops within minutes of unplugging the charger. Correct? I think thats what thats all about, apparently its driving some of us crazy.
Im pretty sure you can root using Linux, you probably have to search for instructions. You couldn't just use a friends pc? The one click is just a simple exe file that works in minutes. Oh you do have to install the Android driver the ln the exe.
Im not sure about the fps cap, I do know HTC did put one on and some roms removed it. I bet it had to do with battery life or something.

Thanks for the response - I read somewhere on this forum that if you charge the Evo via USB, that it got a full charge, and wouldn't drop off in the first couple of minutes, as opposed to using the stock wall charger. Has that not proven to be the case for you?
I reckon I could use a friends PC...but I don't want to use a one click method - I want to be as hands on as possible, to fully understand what's going on.
Is anyone else having major data drops? Mine is happening like 3x a day now! Very annoying. It has nothing to do with airplane mode. All of a sudden I will see my 3G signal leave, then there's a small x near my status bars then the x will go away but the 3G signal will not come back unless I reboot. When I reboot, my battery level drops all the way to where I need to connect my charger to keep it on.
This started happening about 5 days ago. Never an issue before that. Started happening after I flashed Trigger v1.5 rom. Went back to Bionix V and it's still happening. Wiped, Wiped, reflashed, wiped, wiped reflashed...still an issue.
Any help is appreciated!
You might try flashing a different modem.

used unrevoked 3 to root my phone, did a backup, then attempted to install CM6. during the process, my phone shut off (i dont believe it was the battery, as it was fully charged and plugged in). now once in awhile (rarely) if i attempt to boot into recovery, the white htc evo screen will appear for a second or two, then the phone will shut back up.
what are my options?
i wouldn't expect anyone to reply with any real answers until you are more clear about your problems & what you've done already to try & fix them. not to mention, hardware specifics..

Put this on your SD card. http://db.tt/uo4mOhh remove "_RA_2.2.1" and place on the root of your SD card. Once you get the "white screen" it will re install a recovery. Just make sure you go with it in bootloader (white screen) prompts.

Figured since this was the EVO forums it would be assumed I have an EVO
I havent attempted any solutions yet, as I wanted to be sure of something before trying. As for the problems, what is unclear? Rooted successfully, attempted to flash CM6 and phone went dead and no longer turns on.
So I should use something else to get it on the SD card, then try to start phone?

no problem. glad i could save your sanity and save you a trip to going to the sprint store then waiting an hour for diagnostics then getting a replacement when you really didn't need anything but a recovery re-flash. =]
I was hoping someone hand any advice on my problem. I was running EF02 rom with EF10 modem and flashed EG22 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123103
Now my phone doesn't turn on. Nothing works. Any help would be great.
Fixed:
I just let the battery and sdcard sit out of the phone for 45 minutes (doesn't have to be this long) then I put the battery back in and was able to get into download mode. I am flashing the phone back to stock as I think I might have messed something else up earlier. Make sure that after you put the pit file in odin you uncheck re-partition if you are just updating the modem.
This is how I brought my phone back from a hard brick. Thanks everyone for their help.
Some suggestions from others that might help:

Can you still get into cwm our download mode?
Did you try removing the battery, putting it back in and trying to boot into download mode?
did you uncheck f partition?
Did you use stock cable?

I am not able to get into download mode or clockwork. f partion was unchecked. I tried removing the battery and still no luck.
let it sit without the battery in for about an hour, then plug in with battery out and try download mode

You're right, this leak is perfect and has no issues what so ever. The only way anyone could possibly have a problem with it is through their own ignorance and stupidity. My bad...
People who are getting so called "bricks"...
no lights, no samsung logo, no led lights, phone looks completely dead.
Try this:
Remove SD card and battery, leave SD card out, put back battery and try booting into download mode (1 key + power button).
Let us know if this is a go or no go, thanks!

To be honest, I bet this is why they sold it, was it mentioned that the device has an early shut down issue? If flashing a custom rom doesn't fix it, you may need to replace the battery.

Perhaps try deleting the batter stats (settings -> battery -> trash can icon) first and diagnose it with a battery app such as Ampere first? This can be accomplished without root.
