[Q] how to unflash (?) new OTA from evo?

My buddy flashed the new OTA and we are trying to establish root.
Me, personally, I run a droid x rooted, so its similar, but I can use MotoHelper to flash whatever I need to establish root. Is there similar programs and files to flash back to a previous version of software for the Evo? Thanks.

Its not possible to root the new OTA yet. Give it some time and for future reference..ALWAYS wait until the OTA is rooted before you flash new updates..
Good luck!

Would it have killed you to spend maybe 20 seconds to see if there was already threads about this? Right now, I count 2 threads on the FIRST PAGE about this, not to mention at LEAST 25 other threads that have been made in the last week. It literally would have taken you 10-15 seconds to find your answer, but since you can't do that, I'll answer for you: YOU CANNOT ROOT THE OTA YET. When a method is available, you can find out here.

If your friend is s-off, you can flash recovery and then flash a rooted rom.

I love how it's always "a friend" that does the screwing up.

OK, so its not my phone. Like I said, I have a droid x that is rooted. I have four other phones sitting at the house, all rooted. I know what I'm talking about, and i didn't ask if it can be rooted, I asked if you can flash back. Thanks for not reading. I asked specifically if there were any programs to flash an older version of the OS to gain root. Again, thanks for not reading. Motorola as Moto Helper, and I can flash whatever version of android I want. Whenever I want. Without root. I don't know anything about you or your knowledge, so don't question mine. I would like help, not flame. I tried to talk my buddy into rooting his evo when he first got it, and now he finally decided to follow my suggestion, but the OTA came out for him over the weekend. I don't sit around and read about phones that aren't mine, but I am trying to help out a friend to remove bloat. Now all I ask is to get help from the forum with my SPECIFIC question, not rooting the OTA. READ FIRST BEFORE FLAME.

He wasn't s-off before, I tried verifying the versions with unrevoked, and they don't have it verified or supported yet. Thanks for the option, though.

I didn't flame, but offered the only currently known solution to gaining root with the new OTA. Since the hboot was updated with the new OTA, and it's not downgradeable, the phone cannot be downgraded to an earlier version. There are RUUs available to put the phone back to stock or update to a newer version, but if you attempt to run it, it will give you a "main version is newer" error and will not complete due to the hboot not being able to downgrade.
EDIT: Just saw your response, oops.

no you're good, I read before you edited too. Thanks, that makes sense. Like I said, the Droid can be downgraded whenever I want, even with the locked bootloader. Thanks for your input, and this is what I figured happened with the new OTA.

If he was on rooted 2.2 with s-off and updated with ota 2.3 then he must be still s-off. All you need is to flash amon ra recovery and then flash superuser and youll have stock 2.3 with root. Ive done this on 5 phones already )

I was thinking about this while reading all these threads.
If a phone came with 2.2 from the factory and was then upgraded to 2.3, theoretically shouldn't you be able to factory reset the phone back to 2.2?

No. Once you upgrade, that replaces 2.2 with 2.3. Therefore, a factory reset would just reset your 2.3. To downgrade, you need root access to flash an older rom.

Yes u can go back to 2.2 but the new locked bootloader will remain therefore no root even if you flash back.

Root your A500 after 3.2 OTA update and losing root..

I couldn't live without a Rooted A500 for ad-hoc support to tether to my iPhone 3GS.
I did everything in this order.
*********** Read Instruction Carefully **********
1.
Downgrade from 3.2 to 3.0.1
I used method 1 from this thread:
Here
2.
ROOT 3.0.1
I used this thread but there are other ways:
Here
3.
Install ROOTED 3.2 custom ROM of your chioce.
I used Taboonay 2.1. I downloaded the ROM right to the A500 and then copied it to the SD card using 'File Manager HD'.
Instructions here:
Here
Works Great on my A500 and only took an hour to complete. And Taboonay already has Ad-hoc fix.

Nah, too troublesome.

I rather wait for root to be available for 3.2

Did it the same way, works like a charm

I like your attitude. haha. After waited like 2 months, and finally got the stock 3.2 from one of our friends here, and then has to go through all these back to a custom ROM, that seems too much

Why would anyone that goes here downgrade then take an official update that has no root...smh

That's a good question!
If your tablet needs to be rooted, and you updated yours to v3.2 from 3.0.1 via OTA, you'll loose the root privilege. - That's the answer.
So, to be able to get his tablet rooted, either downgrade and install his/her chosen ROM (already root).
And that's what I did on my A500 when I updated to 3.2 via OTA. I have to downgrade back to 3.0.1 and installed my chose ROM.

My A500 Rocks!
Thor Transformer Revolver 3.5 Port v4.1

I updated my A500 before I realized I cannot root the device with the new update. Now I have to downgrade it. I look at the tutorial on how to downgrade but I am confused since I am new to this. When I download the package from the tutorial post to downgrade, do I download it directly to my tablet or my PC? At instruction #3 it says use and editor to edit the UID number. Is this file keep on the tablet or the PC? Like I said I am a little bit confuse here. If anyone can provide me some help it will be great.

Because custom ROMs are buggy as hell. I'd rather have full functionality than not be able to use Bluetooth or volume in a set of games or some other minor annoying bugs.
The update just hit the US. I'm sure that will give people the opportunity to work on root for 3.2.

@max8176
The downgrade has to be done over your computer. You only need to connect your tablet to the computer when the software tells you to.
You also edit that file on your computer.
After your downgrade you have do the next steps (root, flash new rooted or custom rom) on your tablet.

@DerTeufel
Thanks, I figured it out. Have another question. After I downgraded back to 3.01. Will I be able to update through Acer? I went to system and check for any update and it said my system is up-to-date. Does that mean I won't be able to do auto update from Acer?

Please, let me know if downgrade will leave all the data, programs and settings on the tablet or if it will wipe it clean.

no just did it this morning for myself, keeps everything however the 3.0.1 downgrade file (one I used, don't know if there's a 3.1 ) is horribly mangled and there's force closes out the butt but its just enough to get root and install CWM as long as you have iconiaroot app and Acer recovery installer from market installed already as I don't think the keyboard will be usable
I did the second easy method though where you just place the stock rom update.zip file on SD card and install on boot, I believe the one you do connected to your computer will wipe everything

Sorry to bug - Do you have 3G support using the custom ROM? Heard a lot of the ROMS are only written for the A500 without 3G radio?
Want to downgrade then install custom 3.2 rooted, but need to make sure it is compatible with the A501 (3G radio)
Thanks

Unbrick Your Device / How to use NVFlash
In the unlikely event you brick your device, don't worry, it can be saved. It's very easy. Please download NVFlash and any ROM flashable using NVFlash above, and follow the steps below.
Put your device in APX mode: Connect your device to your computer via USB and power on the device holding both the Power and Volume Up buttons for about 3-5 seconds. The screen will remain black.
Install the required drivers for APX: If you haven't installed them already, find your “APX” device in Device Manager and update driver manually, pointing it at usbpcdriver in the nvflash.zip.
Prepare your ROM: Download your chosen NVFlash ROM and place the system.img, recovery.img, and boot.img in the nvflashtf directory. "/nvflash/nvflashtf/".
Start the process: Run download.sh (Linux only) or download.bat (Windows only) to start the process.
NOTE: NVFLASH CAN ONLY BE USED ON AN SBK1 DEVICE. PLEASE CHECK YOUR DEVICE IS COMPATIBLE BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS METHOD.

Razorclaw's tool is the easiest way to root and I think Prime does allow to OC (its in the Prime Tweaks options...)

This is a very well thought out thread with a great layout. However, the Razorclaw app and Recovery Installer app method is much much much easier. No computer needed. No drivers or cables needed. Just your TF and a connection.
These 2 apps need to be added to the reference thread. The info there is outdated.

that was an older method..razorclaw is more convenient,no pc,no cable.IMO there isn't needed a tuto for root,because is too simple...install an pak...install anotheer one to have cwm...that's it!!

Thank you all for informing me this information is now out of date. It will be updated soon.

nothin' mate,it is very easy now with that!the only problem,not for me,is the future asus's ota that can brick the device if we return to stock and upgrade from asus....

Why worry about an OTA update when the devs will have an ICS build out before ASUS?

infact for me it isn't a problem,but i red that for some people is bad don'r receive ota asus anymore.personally i go with revolver,until fabio released an ics build!

My understanding is that once you are rooted any unroot method should work to bring you back regardless of the model number. I haven't had the need to revert back. I also have a B90 and am rooted with CWR. There are two threads about unrooting in this thread that people claim success but have yet to figure out if anyone had a B90. I'm assuming soon people will try to unroot now that a lot more people probably own a B90 model.

I to believe . well with a bit more details. Trying to say this nicely as humanly possibly.. IF you have read the forum thread in its entirety you might should not Install any rom .Give this a few days for all the fuss to calm down and see how it really runs before you make the leap.
Be patient and it will be all worked out on the safety and someone will put up a NOOOBIE STEP BY STEP INSTALL For this rom. Just as all the others in the past..
good luck and Happy Please waiting

Yes you can !
You can install the "original version" of this ROM from your recovery if (and only if) you root your tablet and install Amon-Ra recovery on it.
Renee: Now that we know that it's possible to go back to Honeycomb from this ROM, you could maybe test it and give your impression and your opinion?

Thank you all. but I do not know if I install this rom now, I'll wait a little longer for a more stable version or the official version in April.

Wise decision, alexmd
But this Rom is the one that will be sent by OTA, I believe... most probably before April. Some people working for Acer have announced that the OTA must begin in a very short time now.

THIS LEAKED ROM IS FOR DEVELOPMENT
•Give the developers time to take this leaked ROM and make a stable release.
•Currently there is no version that keeps full Root and Recovery. A500 tablets will bootloop flashing the CWM version.
•A501 users can flash the CWM version but there is no 3G.
•A500 users can flash the stock ROM, but there is no Root and no way to install Recovery. Going back to 3.2.1 is not verified.
PATIENCE PLEASE, while this is being worked on.
I am willing to bet within a week or so we will start seeing ICS Roms that can be flashed with either Acer Recovery, CWM or RA.

This is not the same rom that will come thru OTA.. Acer on there website has said the acer a500 WILL Receive the same Added app updates the new Acer lock screen as well as the Acer ring. This leaked rom has none of them. This is the reason people are saying that the leaked rom is a Alpha build. and will Likely have issues and compatibility issues

I don't understand what you mean, Renee
There is a new lock screen ring (a bit modified) on this leak rom.
Anyway, you can be right but, for me, there is no need to change anything on this Rom. .. The only thing to change now to be close to perfection, is these two crappy microphones...

I believe she is talking about the "acer ring", which is some overlay that appears when you put 5 fingers on the screen in a ring shape.
Sent from my tomato filled Evo

There should be a ring lock screen that has the ability to run some apps without unlocking. by draging it to that app.. also a more complex one built into the UI
as well as some new acer apps that nobody has mentioned.. If you go to acer.com and find there latest news it talks about these things..
but i could be wrong. Im still waiting a few more days to see what comes about this boot loader unlock commands now available..
Its all good who knows at this point

I flashed the stock one, everything works fine. amazing in fact. the cameras are far better! especially with all the new camera features. this version is super stable, not sure what everyone is freaking out about. I havent had anything force close or any problems.

i know. but i don't need it. I'm aware some people might, but having no root doesn't mean its not stable. Ive seen a bunch of posts where people keep saying its for developers only and not stable. I'm just trying to say that its super stable. IF you don't need root, just flash the stock one. It far surpasses any custom 3.2 roms out there. even if i never get another update, i'll be happy.

i always ran a rooted stock 3.2.1 anyway, so this ICS build (i could care less about the "acer ring". in fact i'd prefer to not have it) with the root method laid out in the official thread works perfectly for me.
i can use my rooted apps and i can delete bloatware and install system apps by mounting /system as /dev/tmpdir
