What Hboot do you have? If you have an hboot older than 2.02 then use this method: http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc...34-how-rooting-htc-evo-froyo-2-2-windows.html

If you have the newer 2.02 Hboot then use this method:

Also just want to mention that you're really not supposed to use backed up ROMs on different phones. It almost always causes problems.

How do you determine which hboot? I've been rooted and nan unlocked since july, prolly the older one...

But you're on a new phone now right?

To find out what hboot you have, power off your phone.

Then when it's off (give it a few seconds), press and hold volume up while at the same time pressing the power button, the white screen that loads will have a line for hboot version number.

I'm on my old broken phone, screen is shattered and looks like a spider web. Only reason it's still working is because the invisible shield kept the screen in place.

I'm off work at 6p and heading to best buy to get my rooted/nan unlocked broken phone replaced....

Within an hour I will have new phone with all my data backed up on my sd card. so, when I get my new phone, what's the easiest way to get my phone restored to it's nan unlocked rooted self....

Alright cool. You'll have to check what boot loader your new phone comes with and then we'll take it from there.

FWIW, I have successfully restored a nandroid from an old Evo to a new Evo, but your experience will vary depending upon what you're restoring, like if the new partitions are setup the same way on both phones.

I couldn't go to best buy after work last night.... Going tonight! I will update when I get my new evo.

Really dont restore back ups from different phones. I seen some guy bork his radios by doing that. He eventually fixed em but still. Not worth it.
