Are you asking about a new simpleroot (to gain root on 2.2) or a simpleroot like app that would flash the ROM, radio and wimax for you?

For the former, likely in time... once someone discovers how to gain root on 2.2.

For the later, unlikely... since it's pretty basic and if you are not comfortable with the process... you really shouldn't be doing it at all (imo & likely many others).

Best thing to offer if you are not comfortable with the (manual) process would be ROM Manager.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LAYGO:
Also, I'm noticing the touch screen sensitivity is wacky at times. When I'm drawing on Swype, it's all over the place & not near what I was drawing. Same thing for when I try to draw gestures for Dolphin. Also, when I was just trying to scroll with Dolphin with one finger, it was scaling the text like I was pinching.

Of course, the 2 apps I *REALLY* want to use aren't totally functional with 2.2.

Anyone else noticing twitchy touch screen?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jberenguer:
thx i will take a look at the other options but will probably wait for a simpleroot option - take care :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] E-Diddy:
Great. I was going from Unrevoked3 to Simpleroot 1.47. That went well except it wiped my phone. I tried installing The 2.2 update by putting the file on my SD card and then going into ClockworkMod and installing the file from the SD card (by going to install zip from sdcard and choosing the 2.2 zip file). It seemed to have been working correctly then since the status bar was progressing. I think it may have stopped abruptly and rebooted. Now, it is stuck on the Sprint/4G animation and won't get out of that loop. I'm trying to install the 2.2 again and it kicks me back out to the ClockworkMod menu.

Any help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
Wiped your phone as in reset it to factory defaults?

Or wiped your phone as in it would not load up?

And I'm assuming by 2.2 update... you mean this ROM?

Have you tried wiping your caches?
[EVO 4G Android Development] E-Diddy:
Sorry, wiped my phone back to factory defaults. I read from someone that was in a similar situation that going from Unrevoked3 -> Simpleroot 1.47 didn't reset his phone.

Edit - Yeah, I wiped cache and Dalvik cache. That let me attempt to install the ROM from this thread again but it got to the same spot and said it was done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yornotelppa:
Went back through and re-flashed everything with a wipe and it fixed my voice input key missing on my keyboard problem. Just took a lot longer to restore all the apps and data though. Otherwise everything looks great, of course I say that and I'll probably find out that my 4G isn't working this time, even though it worked after the first flash. :) Not in 4G coverage at the house and so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to test that or take a drive this evening!
[EVO 4G Android Development] tek79:
Very NooB question. How do I know what ROM im using lol.

Yes this is a serious question. Im used to WM phones. This is My first android. I just ROOTED it using the simple root method on here.

I noticed my build number went from 1.47 to 1.32 i think it was.

So i flashed 1.47release keys back on. So my phone reads

Firmware 2.1-update1

Kernel 2.6

Build 1.47

PRI 1.34

I noticed someone said this ROM is 3.36?

But how do I know what ROM im using now. I never flashed a custom ROM to my phone. I did the simple ROOT and left it at that. I assume accepting the OTA update I will lose my Root?

Oh yes, with this update, I assume my camera will still work right? I heard of people flashing ROMS and there camera stops working.
[EVO 4G Android Development] finebrian224:
Restore Old Settings.

I didn't get a reply the first time I asked this question; so I am reiterating the question:

Currently, I have rooted (via Toast) 1.47.651.1 Android 2.1 stock ROM. I plan to update to Froyo in the near future. I have always wiped data and cache with each flash. I really dislike having to redo the settings every time I wipe data.

Would it be ok to wipe data as part of the updating process (to Froyo) and then flash my stored userdata from data.img back so I don't have to reinstall apps and change settings?

The settings I am referring to are those like the layout of homescreen, my custom scene setups, which messaging app I want to use, etc.
[EVO 4G Android Development] TorxT3D:
can anyone else confirm poor battery life with this rom + netarchy kernal 3.7.6c??

from full charge, i havent used my phone at all, couple hours later is below half... almost gotta recharge again... noticed this again after going to sleep with half battery and waking up to the warning charge message

hmm..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tattrpuff:
You are currently on a rooted stock OTA. This is and it's not technically a rom. You updated this like the phone would normally update. Right now you are in prime position to flash this through Amon RA, which is what you have. Follow the OP directions make sure you put each one of these on the root of your SD card.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Tattrpuff:
I would go with Titanium backup...this will tell you by green and red color coding what you should restore and what you shouldn't. It's free and work on rooted phones. You don't want to restore system settings though...you will mess things up and have to reflash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] colorado_al:
I had bad battery life with the Stock 2.2 and the netarchy kernel. I flashed to the stock kernel and it is better, but now at 30 fps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohack99:
so i flashed this rom, and downloaded the "launch pro" kinda like clockworkmod's "launch2" and noticed it makes the phone faster, i was getting at most 39 mflops on sense UI and with the launch pro UI i was getting 40 and some change 41 one time. i was just noticing that some froyo start up screens have the nexas one look and a different lock screen and also use that new launch pro, why does this "official" froyo 2.2 not use that?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dan0412:
Is there a typo in the title of this thread? The build number for the installed ROM is reading 3.26.651.6 (vs. 3.36.651.6 above)
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohack99:
tek79 ----- make sure when you root that you do factory reset and clear data cache delv cache. cache..
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
I'm not sure. Maybe try using Amon RA for recovery? I have read that clockwork is not wiping dalvik cache correctly (although I've seen conflicting reports). I'm not sure if that would cause this issue though.
[EVO 4G Android Development] marclile:
at least until someone figures out how to root that new version yeah
[EVO 4G Android Development] marclile:
isn't the dalvik cache on the /data partition? so if you do a "data wipe" wouldn't that also wipe the dalvik cache? or am i not understanding what actually happens when you do a data wipe. i thought it clears out the entire /data partition. no?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tek79:
Nice, Thank you guys for your help. Im just used to my Touch Pro2. Unlock, flash ROM and good to go.

Since this is all new to me just one other question. Right now my Firmware is 2.1, with Froyo it will be 2.2 But the build number will stay the same (1.47)?

It seems with WM phones you just flash a ROM but on android you can flash new Firmware, Kernels, and Builds. I know what Firmware is from flashing Xboxs, and of course Kernel. But whats the Build number represent.

Like when I did the simple root it went back to 1.32 and i had to reflash it to 1.47
[EVO 4G Android Development] marclile:
the build number will update to 3.36 if you flash this. the build number is HTC's "version number" for this release of the OS. the "firmware" number in that screen is kind of misleading in my opinion. because it's not really firmware, it's just Google's version number for the OS.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintishhippo:
Does anyone else's browser crash when they go to any page with flash on it? Also is there a way to replace the new stupid language button with the voice command button I REALLY MISS THAT FROM 2.1!!!!! It is such a cool feature and now its gone!
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
I believe that data, cache and dalvik cache are all separate.

Also, they are listed separately in recovery>wipe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] marclile:
yeah, i knew that they separate entries in recovery, i just thought i remembered seeing a dalvik cache directory on the /data partition. at any rate... i usually wipe every possible thing i can before i flash any new ROM. so i guess it doesn't matter :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
No issues with browsing flash sites here (although I use Dolphin HD).

I read that losing the voice icon on the keyboard is a result of not wiping data, cache or dalvik cache. I wiped all 3 and my keyboard still has the voice icon.

That may be the cause for your browsing issue too.

I believe the other person mentioned they had to wipe all 3 and reflash, to fix it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ZachPA:
Did the flash with along with netarchy's latest Froyoized kernel, also.

Everything is working pretty well with the following exceptions:

Because I had flash installed previous (and stupidly had mybackup install it again when restoring), my browser crashes whenever i load a flash page. I've seen the fixes for it, but android won't let me uninstall the current flash player, and it won't let me reinstall a flash player. I will probably have to do a hard reset and then leave out reinstalling the flash player.

Whenever i reboot, swype won't work in handcent until i change input setting to touch and then back to swype. I can pluck the keys as in touch, but the swiping action doesnt result in any words or letters.

Lastly, I have troubles with wireless tether. The program works fine it seems, but I can't get it to broadcast an SSID. No devices from laptops to other phones can detect my wireless-tether network. Using pre7 for that. Pre6 and pre5 won't work at all.

Otherwise, this is a complete solution and a very good rooted rom.

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Android Development] quietpopcorn:
Try uninstalling & reinstalling swype. That seemed to work for a few people I've spoke with.

About wireless tether, that's strange as I'm using Netarchy's kernel, too, & I have no problem using pre6.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
comments and questions

It sounds most problems people have are related to 1 of 2 things (or both)

1) not wiping

2) restoring old system settings etc (not being selective with titanium)

I haven't done this yet. Been reading entire thread very carefully. I want to try this but I wanna make sure first that I'd be able to revert back to my rooted stock 1.47 and stock kernel , I have a nandroid, but It's not in a zip format, so not sure how to apply it. I also have a backup thru titanium and RomManager (if I remember correctly). Any tips appreciated.

Not clear on PRI issue I read about. I heard comments this put people back at PRI 1.34. I used whitslacks files and now am on 1.40, and my 3g is screaming fast, in fact I never use 4g (kills batt, and 1.40 3g smokes) any clarification on this much appreciated.

I've read that wireless tether has been fixed to work on stock kernel. I don't use it, but need to go find out if WIRED tether is being fixed too. If anyone already knows, please share. Thanks

Lastly, it sounds like we are waiting for HTC to release some "final" version of this or the kernel? Is that right? If so, I may just wait a few days. I have heard this mentioned in this thread, but not clear.

Thanks for all the input everybody, and if anyone cares to chime in on any of my questions, it'd be super appreciated. Really wanna try froyo, also , I only rooted about 2wks ago and totally new to android. From winmo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohack99:
Zackpa, I'm with you man I'm ruining this and 3.7.7, not the new 3.7.8 but man its fast, 45.59 on linpack, 57 fps on gears, I haven't found a combo on here beeting this rom/kernel set up,..
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohack99:
Scottspa74, I have this rom and I'm on Pri 1.34, just to answer your question, where is the update found?
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohack99:
Also there was a file in this thread about making the notification pull down menu transparent, any one know where that is?
[EVO 4G Android Development] vtotheinay:
anyone else not have the microphone for voice to text on their text keyboard? mine has an EN how do i get the mic back? thanks a bunch
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
@ vtotheinay

Read post 496 on page 50. Reflash and wipe everything, then restore only apps it sounds like.

@ evohack99

Not sure HOW to update PRI to 1.40. But, when I rooted, (via toasts files), then updated to whitslacks 1.47 stock ROM, my PRI changed to 1.40 from 1.32. I wouldn't wanna use anything that might revert it back to 1.34. 1.40 is wicked fast, it feels faster than my 4g used to be, and as fast as it is now. I'm constantly stunned by how fast my browser is now. So, maybe go to whitslacks root to 1.47 thread and look around or post question about how to update that and keep with different ROM (I probably will be doing the same).. Sorry I can't answer better.

And again, if anyone has any input on my post on page 52, I'd love to hear it. Thanks in advance. (In particular, restoring from a NAND backup. I've read webs05 big tutorial about it, but still not quite following. Thanks much.
[EVO 4G Android Development] yornotelppa:
I had that same problem the first time around when I didn't clear the cache. So I redid everything and this time wiped cache and the problem was gone. Of course I had to re-install my app and data backup. I used clockworkmod recovery and the clear cache was just a check box in the process.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tek79:
Ahhh okay thanks again. DLing the files now, will have to attempt to flash everything in class today.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tek79:
okay another stupid question. How do I flash these 3 files?

I loaded them on my SD card, Held Volume Down and pressed power. Went to Hboot but didnt see the three files. So I tried to rename the Froyo OTA file to

PC36DIAG since thats the file name it looks for.

Went back to Hboot and it read the zip, said parsing, then went right back to the screen where i can recover, reboot, ect.

I figured all I had to do was rename each zip PC36DIAG but i guess not.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sw99:
I did this update yesterday, loading the ROM, Radio and Wimax. Every so often, my 4G is getting stuck in the "Turning On" State that can only be fixed by a reboot. Not sure what is causing this or how to fix it.

Also, when locked up, I noticed when typing ##DATA# and going into Wimax settings that not only have all the values changed, but most of them have been set to 10, which makes no sense.

Rebooting brings everything back to normal...odd.
[EVO 4G Android Development] charlotteguy:
can you explain how to do this? i'd really rather get it working...

but funny thing last night too, after i got home from work, i tried to use wifi tether, and although the tether turned on and showed active, it would not send network signal out to over devices, laptops, etc. i know the wifi tether app works well as i used it recently with several others on a long road trip, and it worked flawlessly.

i've applied the radio update and the wimax update, each withe respective reboots as directed.

any suggestions?

:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
This is the final version from HTC. There was a previous (.3) version that was "leaked" early. What people are likely talking about with regards to the kernel is HTC releasing the source code for this recent update. That would allow dev's to more easily compile custom kernels. It (the source) would not be anything new you would apply to the phone.

To restore a nand back you simply boot into recovery > Backup/Restore > Nand restore > Select Device ID (likely only one!) > Select the nand backup you want to restore (there is a date/time stamp if you have multiples).

Hope that helps.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
Once it's done parsing (and you see HBOOT with the options below, select recovery...

Then select Flash zip from sdcard. Select the zip file and reboot after applying each file. You may want to make sure you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache first (by selecting wipe and selecting each one).
[EVO 4G Android Development] sw99:
Do you have Wifi Tether 2.0.5-Pre7? That is the only one that works with the stock kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
Did you wipe data, cache and dalvik cache prior to flashing?

There really isn't much more to explain... He detailed the steps fairly well. Unless you are not sure how to use adb, etc...

If that is the case, you should read up on adb and using it. There are many tutorials/threads explaining it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] earthsick22:
yea we both did a data wipe and cache(s) wipe before flashing.

i also already tried

If you are stuck scanning for 4g

go into adb shell

ls /data/misc/wimax/

look for a file with your macaddress ending in .tree.xml. we want to move that to another location so it gets regenerated.

mv /data/misc/wimax/macaddress.tree.xml /data/misc/wimax/macaddress.tree.xml.orig

and it did not fix the stuck searching for 4g issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rattor:
So if I use Pre7, I would not have to install netarchy's kernel to get wireless tethering? All I would have to do is root my phone, install the new Froyo ROM, the new radio and new WiMax, and then install the Pre7 the same way as I installed the radio? Reason I ask is that I have PRI 1.40, and my 3g speeds are wicked, and I've heard that installing netarchy's kernel reverts you to 1.34.
[EVO 4G Android Development] noname4me:
The rooting itself (engineering HBOOT) changes the PRI, not the kernel install.

Radio 2.15.00.07.28 not installing. Update fails. Need help.

I need help. I used this post as a base to upgrade.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=743352

I upgraded to Android Version 2.2; software # 3.26.651.6 ; PRI Version 1.34Z_003. I did not select wiping data and dalvik cache or cache when I upgraded to netarchy's rooted 3.26.651.6 (My rom is Netarchy OTA release odexed). Everything works fine with out wiping. I am not sure what I did is right or wrong. Your insight is appreciated.

I tried to update to 2.15.00.07.28 from 2.05.00.06.10. I clicked on the recovery and followed the instruction, I am getting an error says (bad).

It will be great if you can give us the steps to update radio. Thx
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
The Pre7 is an apk (application). It's referring to the latest version of wireless tether for root users.

And yes, those are the general steps you would follow (and you may want to do a factory reset, wipe data, cache and dalvik cache).
[EVO 4G Android Development] sw99:
That is correct. I tested it last night and worked perfectly.

Yeah, how do you have 1.40? I've searched everywhere and can't find a way to get back to 1.40. Was it via unrevoked? From what I understand, anyone that is "really" rooted has 1.34.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
To update the radio you simply boot into recovery and select flash zip from sd card (and select the radio zip).

It's failing, you may want to download it again and maybe verify the MD5.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrbrandonscott:
I have the same issue. I used the ClockworkMod recovery to install this Froyo, and everything works great... Except no wimax. I updated the radio and wimax one at a time afterwards, rebooting in between each install, and still no wimax. I rolled back to 2.1 using another stock rom, and 4G works again.... went back to 2.2, and no 4G.

Have you tried Saintsfan's suggestion in ADB shell yet? That is my next step. I don't understand why some of us are getting different results on this 2.2 ROM with the 4G :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] saganna:
It is failing. I downloaded twice. Can you please provide me a good link so that I can download it again. I also need help with how to verify the MD5.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tek79:
Ah recovery. Thank u. I was afraid to even ask this on xda
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rattor:
Ah, I was not aware of that. Thanks for the info.

I understand that. I had made my statement assuming that anyone installing a new ROM would do the wipes first, although from reading here it seems people always try to get away with not wiping.

Thanks for the confirmation. Also, I have 1.40 because I have not rooted yet. I just got my phone 2 days ago. I have 2.1 Eclair, PRI 1.40, with 1.47 software version, and hardware version 0003. I've been reading up on everything before I do anything irreversible :p

As a precaution, I have disable auto-OTA-updates so that I don't accidentally install stock Froyo with no way to root it (yet).

Is this kernel the reason to all my 3rd party camera apps force closing and not working at all or would that be another problem? I thought it was my Froyo (ava) at first but I tried it on my buddies rooted stock Froyo and all his work like a charm. Thanks for any advice, at work and not much time to search around today

EDIT! Sorry, was on XDA app and thought i was in netarchy's kernal thread when i posted
[EVO 4G Android Development] grizgza:
Same problem here. 4G just sits at scanning. Mac Address is correct. Tried several wimax update versions including the latest on both stock kernel and netarchy's kernels. Tried the tree.xml thing too. No dice.

I'm in Charlotte NC, like charlotteguy I'm assuming.... who is having the same issue. But probably just a coincidence.
[EVO 4G Android Development] saganna:
I live in Tampa. I do not think we hav 4G here. How do I test new wimax version on phone? Any idea?

I reported a problem earlier, It has been taken care. This what my understanding: When I downloaded the latest radio 2.15....28.zip, I directly download on to the Phone caused it encrypt it. That caused prblem during the installation and it failed to install the radiol (error message E:can not open /sdcard/..... (bad) ). When I downloaded again, I put it on the PC and then moved it to the Phone, that did not encrypt it whiling moving . When I ran it again using the recovery mode, everything worked just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
This is not a kernel. This is a Full Stock build w/ root.

I'm not sure where you are at (from the info in your post) but it sounds like you are using either a custom ROM or kernel. That is likely the cause for your FC's. At least I would start there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gijoe425:
Thanks, worked beautifully. Thanks netarchy!
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
There is now way that I am aware of.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrbrandonscott:
You said you did the tree.xml thing.... Were you able to find the file in ADB Shell and successfully move it to a different folder? Was this after the wimax radio update, or before?

Battery Life

This ROM runs great. I'm on the stock kernel and everything seems to be working 100%.

This isn't really a complaint, just a request to see if anyone else has experienced worse battery life? Maybe this is due to an app running, but it's worse than I ever remember it being when running 2.1. Has anyone else noticed this? I took my phone off the charger after being connected all night, and within 2 hours it was down to nearly 60% (I probably used it for a total of 30 mins with light audio streaming and a bit of web surfing..nothing unusual).

Anyway...thanks to netarchy for another great contribution!
[EVO 4G Android Development] zebradude:
I am having the exact issue and I tried all of the above as well. ? Help
[EVO 4G Android Development] grizgza:
Yes I was able to find the file and I renamed it by adding .orig to the end. I did this after the wimax radio update. I checked and it successfully created a new <macaddress>.tree.xml file in the /data/misc/wimax folder
