Is there a downloadable Nandroid Backup of the stock Evo rom or any other rom out there somewhere? I saw that someone did it for the Stock Nexus S rom but I don't think that'd work on my Evo. I'm asking because I dug up my old Evo that is stuck on a Fresh boot loop and I'd like to try to fix it. I tried a factory reset but that didn't work, nor can I flash new roms so I'm pretty much stuck without a Nand Backup.

Yea, use that link to get a stock rom, NOT a stock nandroid backup. NEVER use a nandroid backup from another evo, it's just asking for trouble.

ESPECIALLY a Wimax Image as those RSA keys are disabled the second they get the phone back.

Thanks, that is a great link. Could you point me to a link on how to flash a Sprint EVO 4G with a stock ROM. I have a phone that I would like to get to it's original state, but I have never flashed one of these before.

Its just in case i cannot find any good roms that i like.
Look in the sticky about roms above. They will be the RUU's.
VV check the signature VV
flashing a RUU will reflash the stock SPL/recovery/system/etc images right, is there a update.zip that would be the equivalent? this would be ideal for people flashing "mods" that are in the update.zip format since it wouldnt require re-rooting everytime to go back to "stock".
Flashing the RUU will return the phone back to moment you got the phone. Stock ROM. No custom recovery. No root.

Guys, the OP is clearly requesting an update.zip to stock, not an RUU. though i find it arbitrary to make an update.zip since the RUU would do the same exact thing
The RUU comes with a ROM.zip
Seems like it would just need to be repackaged as an update.zip

You can do the same thing yourself, if you make a nandroid backup right after you root, then wipe data, then backup. Then you can restore your first backup with your setting ect...
Does that make sense?

Well, technically after you root it, you can make a nandroid backup. If you do the backup right after rooting it, you'll have a backup of the Sprint ROM, although with root. But that should be fine seeing as you never mentioned returning it etc.

Actually, I do need to do that. He asked for a link to the ROM. I have the RUU, which is the ROM, and I provided him with a link.

I would recommend reading everything in this thread. yes you can revert back to stock after flashing new ROMs. I highly recommend doing research before you start...that means searching. All the answers you will need are contained within existing threads.
Yes, you can restore the original ROM. In the guides to root it tell you to make a nandroid backup. That'll let you restore the original ROM.

Thanks to all and that is exactly what I was looking for. I have done some mods with a Tilt in the past but nothing with my Hero. Now to choose a ROM that still lets the Sprint Navigation work - don't care about most of the other apps that came with it.

have you backed up your WiMax keys via the instructions on the rooting thread and/or followed these steps for recovery?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10951380&postcount=2
There ARE no updated radios and the recovery you have now will do a nandroid backup just fine.
How did you get ar on the shift???

by AR do you mean Amon-RA 2.2.x? I tried his recovery for the EVO just to see if it would work and I couldn't get it to boot into recovery. I would love to see an Amon-RA based recovery and would happily donate to get one. I know Cloverdale was working on porting it over, but he doesn't have much time to work on it.
Yes that's what I meant by AR, the way I got it, was by putting one of the imgs from another post and booted to recovery, and had it update the recovery menu.. I never did this on my orkiginal evo but is it key to backup my wimax keys?

I hope I have time to do it soon. There have been some major issues at work, and I do not have a spare moment these days.
Guys my question is how do I do it?
Odin back to JFD then flash your 2.2 rom with clockwork recovery
you HAVE to odin back to jfd first. there is no way around that. then install whatever rom you want.
and no, you can't odin any other roms other than jfd. the other odin roms have missing info that doesn't allow them to do a repartition.
If only someone had written a guide for this....
/sarcasm.
Check my signature.
oHH WHAT THAT WAS YOU lol
THANKS
Ok other question is...
Will all data and apps be errased or will they be saved with a nandroid backup?
You need to backup using titanium backup if you plan to restore apps.
Having a problem coming from the Nightlies TRYING to get back to 2.2. I'm back on 2.1 but Kies will not read my phone.
OMG don't do kies....you obviously don't read much about kies lol
have the same question
I was on Vibrace 2.2 Rom and took a nandroid backup before installing cm7 stable.
Now i am having call issues on cm7 and want to revert back to 2.2 using my nandroid backup ?
Can I just go into recovery and restore my backup ?
If not, how do I go about it ?

kies WILL NOT WORK to undo voodoo lagfix and kies WILL NOT WORK to go back to a Samsung rom from an mtd rom.
YOU MUST ODIN JFD! There is NO OTHER WAY. Period!

CAPITAL LETTERS aside, Geo is right. Kies is notorious for bricking phoned. Don't use it.
Odin is what you need and should be one of your basic programs that you would use regularly if you intend to flash ROMs.

Kies also won't get you to jfd, which is required.
Also, the capital words are for emphasis, because the same thing is being said over and over in this thread, and the same questions are being asked over and over again.

No worries man. I agree wholeheartedly.
There should be a thread that just says "Don't use Kies". Sticky and lock it.

Well, I think at least, you should not purely restore the nandroid backup as it will flash the kernel without running itsmagic.
For the other part, better let other gurus to answer
Thats my concern. ill just wait, not like its 100% needed now but i just wanted to know a way out of my situation, if there is one!

I think if you flash one of the full packages you should be fine since it contains everything needed to take the tablet back to stock.

Will this stock rom also contain the stock recovery image or will that have to be flashed seperately with running itsmagic?

so fallback to (maybe) a fallback backup of your old firmware or (more likely) fallback to a specific firmware ?
