Trying to get a new Jawbone up and htc evo 4g we got my son for Christmas to talk to each other. Need to be running 4.3 or higher to make it work. Burned several hours of Christmas searching...gave up. Got it unlocked and rooted, but can't find a rom to flash that will work yet. Thanks
Try here.. http://evervolv.com/devices/supersonic. Not acies but the nighties. Think you might need twrp recovery to flash it but that is easy to find too with Google. Good luck.

Hi all. I am a proud EVO user and generally love the phone. It's rooted for use w/ wifi tether. Not really using root much beyond that. Question, do I want or need the Sprint system update(s)? I had read that unrooting my phone could keep it from being rootable later on. Will the phone perform any better w/ the updates? Are there alternatives? My last phone was WM and it had a custom ROM. What do you all think?
Thanks!

Anything Sprint releases ends up on here rooted and ready for flashing (usually within hours). I would not do any ota updates knowing that.

Thanks, that being said, should I flash to a custom ROM? I'm sure all this has been asked and answered, so appologies to that. Also, if i do that, should I back up my current apps (what should I use) and when i restore can i restore to a newly flashed phone or is part of the back up process the system files?
People do create rooted versions of the stock ROMs that Sprint releases. So, you can try custom ROMs, but you don't HAVE to. You can get the latest one here:

Here's a thread where you can grab all of the latest Radio, WiMax, PRL, etc updates:

No, installing and official OTA can cause you to lose root. Download the rooted version ^ or stall the latest update for your rom.
I just got an HTC evo from cellular trendz, and i tryed to update it to the new upgrade but it says there is no updrage available. Im on V 2.2 right now?
Should i just root my phone to get it or is there another way around it?
bumping this, still not updating for me
Just root the evo, then you can flash any froyo/gingerbread/ICS rom you want.
My phone works fine, no need to root it right now.
My main problem with rooting is that the GPS wont work
Rooting doesn't break gps

Absolutely no need for him to root if he doesn't want to.
Are you sure the phone is running on the sprint network? If so, it should definitely find the 2.3 update when you go to update HTC software. If not, you can always download a stock RUU and run that.
I tried downloding the stock and flashing that through recovery.iu...but it says my device is not recognized? My phone is activated through sprint and everything on the phone works fine

Rooted my samsung moment, actually all 3 of them and the GPS stopped working on me.
I rooted the EVO last night, put the new OTA 2.3.3 Gingerbread on it.
Never occurred to you that the Moment and the Evo are two different phones?? lol
Should have used my ROM on the Moment. GPS worked fine
Now that I am with AT&T, I have no use for my Evo. Well, a good friend at work dropped her evo and cracked the screen. Long story short, I gave her my old Rooted evo but we ran into a problem. When she went to have it activated on her account, they couldn't get a certain star code to work in order for her to either retrieve or enter some information. (IDK, I wasn't there). The rep on the phone said it was due to the fact that it was rooted with a "cooked" ROM. So, my first question is 1. Does anyone have or know of a rom that I can flash that wont cause this issue when she tries to activate it on her account again and 2, If not, does anyone have an RUU file with a shipped rom because all the links I have found no longer work. Thanks.
What ROM was on the phone?
You have to be running a Sense ROM in order to activate, use the dialer functions, update profile and PRL. Just flash a stock rooted ROM and it'll be fine. Here is a stock rooted ROM from Captain Throwback. It's based on the most recent software update.

Also, here are the RUU files for the EVO, should you decide to go that route, instead.

Hey first post on here, but I recently flashed a sprint S3 to metro, and I`m wondering if I can still use the same roms I was using when this phone belonged to sprint? The guy at metro didnt touch my root but he did install some random rom in replace of the one I came in there with..

What's the name of the ROM he installed? Usually if the phone is flashed correctly to different carrier like metro and apns are correct, Sprint roms will work.

Not the same phone but I flashed my Sprint HTC Evo LTE to Page Plus and never had issues with flashing Sprint base roms. The rom should not affect your flash. I even updated the Firmware to the latest and that didn't affect my flash either. Although the guy who flashed my phone to Page Plus said ; never update the firmware as it would Bork my flash. He was wrong

I'm looking for all the help I can get.
I have a Sprint GS4 mini and I got this for my girl. all my phones I've always picked it up directly at sprint so it was always activated so I wasn't away that I would have problems activating her phone that I bought online.
Trying to be proactive so once I gave her the phone nothing would need to be done. I rooted it and installed a custom rom so I could have the bloatware and everything setup nicely for her.
I found out they can't activate it because of the custom rom and it didn't have the sprint PRL. I know the easy answer would be to flash stock, but the 1 stock file that's floating around online does not work, it crashes in ODIN.
I have the Dev of the ROM working with me but i'm hoping to help him and me by putting this out to everyone to see if anyone has any thoughts or a good stock firmware.
Also is it possible for anyone running SPHL-520 to upload a nandroid w/o Data so I can try to restore. I'm lost on what I can do now.
Thanks guys.
