I am currently running taboonay 2.1. I am wanting to return to a stock rom and just take the ota update to whatever is out right now. I am just wondering what steps I should take. I have read just about all the threads on here and I'm not really sure which one I should use. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You'll need to know which GEN you were on (region), but all the stock ROMs, and updates are here:

If you want the most *stable* go with stock with root. Hopefully by the time you root there will be a 2.2 official version.
Hey guys, I just searched through and found:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
*Still a new noob on the forums so I wasn't able to link the complete thread.
That thread for updating rooted phones. Is there a different method for EVO's or does this post apply for EVO's as well?
Just rooted my phone this past weekend (with Unrevoked3) and I'm quite new to the root ways. Currently not running any special ROM's just using launcherPRO instead of Sense UI.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
If you get it upload it here we can do nothing for rooted phones till soneone who got the update actually takes the time to upload it

Working like a charm... the phone is lightning quick.
As the title suggests, id like to install synergy rc2 rom. Problem is my evo is already running gingerbread 2.3.3 from over the air update. What is the simplest easiest way i can root & install this rom? My 1st inclination is downgrade to froyo 2.2 first, but im unsure how to go about doing that. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. If this has been covered elsewhere please point me in the right direction cuz ive looked around quite a bit.
Thx
Look around some more.

You can't root the latest OTA update. You're going to have to wait till another exploit is found. Your stuck running sense at the moment unless you go grab yourself a Evo3D.

you are out of luck my friend, like many others and myself. We're stuck with stock GB 2.3.3 ...
All you can do is sit and wait it out until we get a full root again, it will come. Just hang in there..

You obviously didn't look very hard at all. 2 weeks ago, I counted all the threads that asked this same question, and I stopped counting at 80... So I dont know how you have missed any of these threads.
What about the possibility of downgrading, than rooting and applying a custom rom??? Can it be done that way somehow??

Nope that can't be done either. Your stuck for now buddy... It's all been tried and for now your only option is to "wait.......".

Again, this has been discussed at least 50 times in the last month. You cannot downgrade without root. And you cannot root 2.3 yet.
I recently got my DZ replaces and they send me a phone with 2.3.3. Can someone point me in the direction of a safe guide to use in order to root my phone? Problem is Im finding too many guides and Im not sure which one is relevant. can someone help me? Please and thank you

you will need to downgrade to 2.2 first. there is a guide in the development forum which will help you do that and then you can root using visionary or anything like that.
Got it done finally! Thanks
Once rooted can you upgrade to 2.3 and all will be fine or do you have to stay with 2.2?

If you flash any official update, you will lose root.
There are pre-rooted versions of the Gingerbread update in the Development section. That is what you want to flash.
I currently own a rooted Samsung Galaxy s 4g (SGH-T959V) running Gingerbread with ClockWorkMod v5.0.2.7 Voodoo lag fix.
I am getting pretty frustrated with the fact that I am running froyo because I can not get most of the apps I want. Plus, the Gingerbread homescreen is so slow and just looks weird. So I want to upgrade to kit kat. But I hear I have to upgrade CWM, and I have no idea how to do that.
If someone could give me the links to all the kernels and steps to do so it would be much appreciated.
Thank You!

There is like...literally no possible way you are running Froyo. It hasn't been developed in like 3 years.
As for links to all KitKat stuff, there is a search feature that will guide you to all that you need.
One problem bro, I really am running froyo and I have searched it but couldn't find anything for my device. Please if you do know where to find it it would save me a TON of time if you would just tell me.

Dud I am so sorry. You are right. I double checked my frimware and it says 2.3.6 so you aee right it is Gingerbread.

You are in wrong thread. The correct thread for you is this ONE.

Do you know how to flash a one click? If you don't know how to flash one follow lumin's guide, except use the one click .jar file I linked below instead of the one he says to use in his guide. (Note the one click won't contain the bootloaders so skip that step when you get to it)

I have a one click that's only bhundven's blastoff v2.5 kernel. If you're already on gingerbread this will install the blue CWM v5 for you that will allow you to flash a kitkat rom.

I recommend the cm11 (kitkat 4.4.3) builds Ive been pushing out. You can find them here, make sure you grab the latest ones (they all have dates):
