I really would like the ability to completely backup my Evo, wipe batt stats, clear caches, wifi tether, and some other things but I DONT WANT A CUSTOM ROM.
i am perfectly happy with stock sprint rom.
everywere i read about rooting the way the tutorials are worded they make it sound like you have to use a custom rom...
id like to use unrEVOked.
could someone help me out, thanks...
I used unrEVOked Forever and rooted my phone. It was easy and quick. It rooted it and kept the stock rom. I used it for like 2 weeks then decided I would try Warm. If you use unrEVOked, it should keep the stock rom and be rooted. After that, it's your choice to swap roms. I like Warm because it has the stock Sprint hotspot enabled.

You can do all of that and still use a stock ROM.
You don't have to use a custom rom unrevoked installs a stock rooted and you can still update it ota but you loose root if you do custom roms sometimes add some tweaks and functionality that you don't get from stock so they are worth looking at.

Use unrevoked forever after unrevoked 3 so you have nand unlocked to do the full backups the other reason is you can get root back slot easier after update

No. Unrevoked3 unlocks nand. I only used that and I've flashed several custom ROMs.

Your right it does but if you read on just about any forum here it's not a full unlock but by using unrevoked forever you get s-off or security-off which when you're talking about stock rooted lets you upgrade and root without waiting for someone else to produce a stock rooted update rom.

Well right now I'm just rooted, and I'll do the full root on my replacement phones later tonight or tomorrow; flash a custom rom when a good aosp or 2.2 comes out.
Just got my Evo 2 days ago. Stock for now. Would like to root, but need to read some more first. Might wait for Froyo to come out first
I wish I could vote twice. my wife and I bot got Evos and I rooted and installed Damaged on both of them. BTW battery life is awsome with the new update and radios
Fully customized Fresh ROM .5.3 with GatorBoots theme and inverted splash1.
Flawless.
You forgot the ones who are waiting for the Froyo upgrade to root when available. So Stock with plans.
stock. rooting sounds a bit risky right now but i would like to get rid of the Sprint apps, facebook, Sense UI, etc. waiting to see if HTC/Sprint will deliver Froyo in a timely fashion as promised.

What good will it do when HTC will just increase their security even more to keep people from doing custom ROMs?
Stock Evo, not planning on rooting yet... I like Sense UI but hate all the Sprint Apps and all the auto-starting apps that I never use.
I'm on stock, but I plan to root and flash roms later after I get my new phone and source/froyo is release.

i need nothing else right now as wifi tether, vpn connection and shootme works. things may change when froyo comes out though. i'm not applying the latest ota until unrevoked has an updated root version for it (that works!). lol
Sorry if this has been discussed. I used unrevoked to get super user access to my incredible and now want to delete that stupid slacker radio, vcast, and VZW navigator crap. Do I have to install a rom? I like sense and don't like messing too much with the phone. I have been running stock software on it for almost a year and only just now rooted using unervoked to install a screenshot app. I hate those bloatware apps with a passion but have put up with them ... now that I have root access I can't uninstall using the normal means. Is there a workaround to get rid of them without installing a rom?

You can install custom ROMs that basically mirror the stock ROM but it has bloatware removed. Just look carefully.
The sticky at the top of the forum links to a lot of FAQ's like this one
In particular:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Incredible/Guides&Tutorials#Removing_Bloat
Even easier, you can use Titanium Backup to do it. Or Root Explorer. Or pretty much any app that can write to the system partition with SU access.
Oh and sorry I am using tapatalk and couldn't find the search feature to reply in thread about bloatware. Accept my apology.
Or, if you don't mind wiping. You can install Nothing Special.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976933
It's a stock rom with bloat already removed.

Ok. So if I flash will I get VZW OTA if they push it out of 2.3? ... since I rooted using unrevoked, but if I don't flash will I get the OTA to 2.3?
Guess I'm just worried ill brick it. This thing is my pride and joy and if I broke it I would cry.

It's almost impossible to brick, it's become so easy to flash roms, root, etc.
Just factory reset if you want to go back. Kinda the point of flashing is to get the latest greatest before it is released. Oh, all all those goodies I am sure they will omit.

I was runnings myms 2.2 with clockworkmod and I went back to stock by downloading the stock rom and when I go to update it says no updates available.
I'm wondering if maybe I didn't install a new stock rom or something is wrong.
You can just get a rooted version of the update from this site if you do the ota you will lose root.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
When I heard it was out, I flashed back to the stock rom, and checked for it, but it said my system was up to date. After about a day, though, it asked me if I wanted to update to the new version. Which unfortunately wouldn't install for me. Which is fine, I like CM7 better than sense anyways.
If you haven't seen it yet, just wait a bit, it'll probably show up.

Please find a way to accept the ota! That way I can laugh at you when you are no longer able to root your phone. Why do people feel the need to unroot for an ota????

Don't take this the wrong way but I don't care about modding or hacking, stock android is just fine to me. I never tethered nor have I used anything that is a benefit of rooting. I just want a phone to be a phone.
It's not that serious to me, I kinda have other things a bit more important than changing roms and so forth.
Stock Android is perfectly fine to me.
geez, your making this harder than it has to be. you are already rooted. just download the rooted rom and be done with it. you will still be running a stock rom even though your rooted. if you do absolutely nothing with root u can still download and install the rooted stock rom and use it

Then just download and flash the rooted stock rom by xHausx. Done.
It has all the stock apps and stuff. No mods or themes. No one said you need to.do all that stuff if you root. Rooting just gives you the option to do so.
I wanted to root just to get rid of some sprint apps. Then I switched my rom but no other hacking for me.

Hey there, my friend has a shift and has not updated it to GB. He wants it rooted and I want to do it for him. I am good with the HBOOT and flashing roms with HTC. I was just wondering if there are any rooted stock roms or any rooted kernals I could flash without having to go thru one of those rooting programs. Much more comfortable flashing from Hboot lol.
THANKS
how to root " RUU_Speedy_S_Sprint_WWE_2.76.651.4_Radio_1.08.00.0 506_NV_SPCS_1.88"
If he is still on the shipped 2.2 ROM then you can use the perm root instructions found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932153and then use rom manager to flash your recovery and there are optimized stock ROMS like MikShift V1.1 and BCnice20 has some great kernels.

These might help you out. Seems a little intimidating a first, but read it through a few times. ou should be able to do it no issues. Here's a few links that should help walk you through attaining root.

I think he's asking if there are any roms he can flash through HBOOT instead of using a recovery. And the answer would be no. Are you scared to flash a recovery? Its easy as pie.

So I just received the gingerbread update from t-mobile.
I was wondering since this is the new update, what would be the way to root this phone. I mainly want to uninstall the bloatware. also after rooting and removing bloatware. Can you undo the root and still keep the bloatware off?
Yes this is a noob android question, but your help is appreciated!

The rooting methods there should work fine for you. I personally recommend this one:

because of the fact that it's mainly meant for people who are just getting started in the world of rooted phones.
Hopefully all this helps you out
There is no way to root with the update as of yet.

Hmmm, well that sucks. I guess at best all you could do is downgrade your phone to Froyo with PD15IMG, root your phone there with whatever method you prefer, and then upgrade back up to Gingerbread using a a custom rom like CyanogenMod or something.
If the Sense features are what make you want to keep the stock rom, then I recommend you upgrade to Virtuous Unity 1.31. It's got Sense 3.0 on it, and that's got pretty much all the sense features you'll ever want or need, and it runs pretty damn well if you ask me.

No, you can downgrade anyway. There's a thread that I've linked to in at least 3-4 posts only today, that explains how to do it.
