How do i get rid of a ROM? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ahh, im scared. I downloaded this ROM, and i have to go back. I don't know how to get it off, any help here?
I went into recovery, wiped data, cache, tried anything i could think of.

Check the Wiki. That's what it's there for. Anyway,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=685835
The link posted above will get you back to the shipped rom. (You will lose root) I'm not sure if that's what you want

I don't want to lose the root, i just want to get rid of this ROM. So is there a different stock rom that i could use that wouldnt get rid of root?

Look under stock with root. My suggestion would be this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=697636

When i try flashing the rom, this is what happens.
Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:No signature (114 files)
E:Verification failed
Installation aborted.

I want to get an Evo for my wife now, but with the new OTA issues, I'm worried that we won't be able to get hers to tether, at least for a while. Or can you flash a new fully updated Evo with the older original ROM and go from there?

The stock ROM is an executable file. Just save it to the desktop (or wherever) on your computer and double click.

Just copying the file to the system won't work, that's why you need to use a ROM that updates it properly if you don't want to use data space.

If you uninstall your market update to flash and install the mod for my ROM, it MAY work on yours. I can't guarantee that obviously.

if im reading it correctly, your radio doesnt match the radio it should have if you were stock.
EDIT: you clearly modified system files because of that.

What do u mean exactly? I tried it with wugfresh root toolkit, the tool asked me for one checksum. And it was ok.
By flashing with .bat its not necessary or?

It isn't "necessary" in the sense that the batch file would stop, it's just that the file is corrupted if the checksums don't match. But if the toolkit did the checksum and it was ok at least the download wasn't corrupted. Which doesn't solve your flashing problem. Sorry, i'm out of ideas.

The flash would probably fail unless your /system is completely stock. You could use TB to back up, TOT to ZVE, then install the OTA to get to ZVG, but there's no guarantee of root on the other side so TB can restore all your stuff. Stump might work.

Download this.
1. Create a Folder (Call it whatever, but for example I will name it Android) on the root of your C:/ Drive (on your PC.)
2. Download Update.zip (mirror in the OP.)
3. Download the link above in this post, adb.exe.
4. Place both Adb.exe and Update.zip into C:/Android
5. Open CMD
6. Type 'cd C:\Android' (do not include the quotes.)
7. Plug phone into PC in Recovery Mode and plug it in via USB.
8. In Recovery, select Update from adb.
9. Now on the PC, type 'adb sideload Update.zip' in cmd.
10. Let the install happen. It took my phone around 20 minutes. It's a big update.

Problem after updating to Nougat. Can´t downgrade to Marshmallow

Hey guys!
So here is the thing. Today I woke up with the official nougat update (yohoo! right?) but after I updated and the phone restarted and turned on, it starts rebooting. Time after time. I tried wipe partition, wipe factory reset, I tried safe mode, nothing worked. I pick one zip file who said to be a "rom" but it was fake, now i have no OS in my phone. Just the TWRP recovery.
OK, so I downloaded the good file from sammobile about the marshmallow rom, but when I try to install it with Odin, it says "sw rev check fail device 4 binary 3". (I suppose it´s because im trying to downgrade).
Anyway, what should I do?? Greatly appreciated for any help right now the only thing I can do with my phone is play with the recovery and put it on Download mode.
Thanks again!!
Don't use SAMMOBILE, get the file from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
Check the MD5 to make sure that you got a good download, then try using Odin again.

Try the latest which is QB1, but no guarantee that it will work for you. Downgrading is always tricky.
If it doesn't, don't panic. In the worst case, the Nougat TAR file will be available in a week or two at most. I'll upload it once it comes out.

No luck with updating PRL and Profile, it says that it can´t update because "no connection" with both but internet is clearly working and the nougat update its downloading again.. Weird.
By the way the Nougat download finished and I tried to install it but no luck. The phone still restarting so im going back to your rom!

It is not a ROM in the usually accepted sense, it is the stock image file. If you follow the thread and Root your phone and install TWRP, you won't get the Nougat OTA again. The downside is that if you later decide that you want Nougat, you'll have to manually flash it, but that sounds like a better solution for you anyway.
