Hey guys, I have the latest ROOT done by Unrevoked3, it has the clockwork mod, and my phone reboots just about ever other minute.
So I talked myself into it, I'm like "Hey why not do a custom rom? Maybe Cyanogen or something?"
So I'm lost. I have no idea what mod to install. I need it to be a .img file, too, because that's what Unrevoked uses.
I don't want the stupid sprint stuff, I just want the cool, brass and glass speedy phone. What do I do?
If you have clockwork recovery just go into it and load the cm6 .zip file?
I couldn't find it on the wiki.
Link to how to "load" ?

easiest way is to buy rom manager premium from the market...you can download and install different roms within the app and if you don't like it you can just download another one, wipe, and install...you don't have to use you're pc atall.
but you have to be on clockwork recovery to be able to use rom manager..
awesome thanks. But I'll lose all my info/apps everytime I load one right?

yes always backup your data using titanium backup, then do a nandroid backup, and always WIPE DATA, CACHE before flashing any and every rom.

Downloaded and paid for Rom Manager Premium (trying to give back to devs)
How do I do a nandroid backup, and wipe data, cache before I use Rom Manager?
nm, I see it's part of the application.
So unrevoked3 does support cm6 now? If so that makes my life ten times easier not having to redo root with simple root

Nope. Nand unlock is still required by cm like it is by many roms. Unrevoked won't get you there.
That's what I thought......i may have mis read the op's first post but wanted to clarify for myself and the op that cm 6 will not work with unrevoked

Sorry for the dumb question, but a full nandroid backup, is done how? With titanium, or rom manager. Like I said sorry for the dumb question but everything I read just confused me. I'm really not that dumb just need some because I confused myself. Thanks!

I am new to this stuff but I learned pretty quick because I truly love my Evo so I want the best for it! (roms/kernels) but I over think everything so I need a few dumb questions answered from time to time...

Nandroid backup is done through the recovery menu. Use titanium backup for the apps, sms backup for the texts, and for the contacts, go to contacts, hit menu then export to SD CARD.
Swyped from my sexy EVO.
They aren't dumb questions, you're just starting out. But:
1. Titanium backup is to backup your apps and system, in case you do a clean wipe. backup your apps every so often, especially when you changing roms.
2. If on clockwork recovery, you can backup your rom using it.
3. You can manually backup by turning the off the phone, powering back up, but holding vol+down ad you do, and then in the bootloader screen. Once there, select recovery, then go to backup/restore.
Thanks roxx, you cleared up what I said. You always seem to answer my questions or be in the same thread as me.

Cool thanks! I know how to flash roms through rom manager and kernels in recovery. I thought I was doing a nandroid backup by backing up my stock rom before flashing a new one. So I just boot into recovery (rom manager,or root manager) can't remember if it's root manager? But get into recovery and it will say nandroid backup? Once again thanks for helping me. I want to switch to a non-sense rom but don't wanna mess up my Evo!

Well you can boot into recovery from rom manager, just select reboot into recovery. And I believe you're referring to the bootloader screen. And it only says "nandroid' if you're on amon_ra recovery, but nandroid/backup are the exact same thing. On clockwork, navigate to backup/restore, then backup..and it'll take about 2-5 minutes. After that, go back to the main menu, and wipe factory/data, cache, and then go under advanced and wipe the dalvik cache. After that, install zip from sdcard > install zip > select your rom. And when you boot up, log in, blah blah, then use titanium backup to restore your apps but NOT system settings, or you can get some force closes.
If that's the case, why do I need to flash back to stock rom before flashing a new one? If I'm backing up my phone with a custom rom? Or do I flash back to stock then do a nandroid? You can stop me anytime...lol..I am normal...i swear I am

Lawlz, you don't have to flash back to the original stock rom before flashing a new one. You just backup your current rom, then flash the new one. You always backup befpre flashing in case something bad happens.
1. Backup/nandroid current rom
2. Wipe factory/data, cache, dalvik cache
3. Flash new rom
4.
And its good to ask questions.

Anytime, and glad you've got it clear. Always here to help if ya ever need anything.
If they used the proper term, it might be much less confusing. Backups made from the recovery menu are synonymous with making an image of the phone's entire file structure (similar to acronis trueimage for windows). This includes all the system files, applications, settings, and any related customizations.
Titanium backup on the other hand serves the function of baking up an individual application and its' associated data. I don't think there's an equivalent of this on the pc, but you get the idea.
I still don't know where this term 'nandroid' comes from. I've seen it used both as a noun and verb on here, which only complicates matters for those not familiar with the android terminology.

'Nandroid' come from amon_ra, its what its listed from you when backup. Nandroid backup/restore. I personally don't know where it came from, but that's where people get it from.
I repeat what I hear, so nandroid could mean asswipe for all I know lol I never looked it up.

I think it was a coined term relating to android, as that is the root of the word.
Nand is the type of flash memory that is used internally on our phones for the android system.
Nand + Android = Nandroid
I'm guessing that's how Amon came up with the name.

Hello everyone, this is my official greeting to start since I am very new to all this rooting and flashing roms business but I am learning (hopefully not the hard way) But I rooted my phone with Unrevoked3 and then I flashed CM7. When they said create a backup, I used TI but did not back up my phone in the recovery screen. I wanted to reflash Sense so I could fix my GPS glitch. But I can not find it. Did I lose all the stock Sense rom that came on my Evo? And if I did, Is there a way to fix it?
I'm sure I'm not the first person to do this but I haven't found a thread to answer my question. All help will be appreciated!! Thank you!
Yes you lost your stock ROM but you can just download a sense ROM and flash that you can also find a stock rooted ROM on this site if you want that
To make a nandroid back up you can either use rom manager app from the market and do it that way or make one from recovery you should have cwm recovery so you might want to use rom manager for now its easy and you can name the backup.
Hope that helps you.

Yes, you can flash a stock rooted rom. They can be found in many of the stickies here. It will flash just like you flashed cm7, except obviously you will be back to factory, i.e. no apps, etc. But BE SURE TO NANDROID BACKUP YOUR CM7 ROM BEFORE DOING THIS.

Yes, you lost your original rom and no,you cannot get it back, however, you can flash an official HTC rom for the EVO. You can download a rooted stock rom from HERE. I suggest the ODEXED version. After you've flashed the rom, go into recovery and make a nandroid backup of it.

Thanks everyone!! I downloaded Speedy's (Misfit's) Sense Rom. I did this time create a NAND of my CM7. Flashed the Sense rom and fixed my GPS glitch that Evo has with CM7 and Im back to normal. Works great! Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and help!
the latest CM7 versions should have fixed the GPS issues..
even with the fix in Sense... and with the latest CM7 version.. I myself still get a few issues here and there with GPS and the applications that use it.
i found it best to download GPS Status from the market which will help in getting the GPS to work... and even with that, sometimes i have to even toggle the GPS off and on to get it all working.
remember.. TI is only for apps.. you make sure and do a nandroid backup thru recovery every time you wanna mess with something.

You can try to download and flash a ROM from this site.
Also can you get to your bootloader by pressing volume down and power if so you can find an ruu to put on your sd to put you back to stock.

First thing first make a nandroid backup then you can download that vr-superwipe I posted but I'm not really 100% if that works in cwm recovery but when you wipe wipe everything but your sdcard well you don't really have to wipe stats but I don't even think that option is in cwm.
You should really think about switching to Amon ra 2.3 if you haven't you can even flash it from ROM Manager.

Hey guys, I just rooted my phone a few hours ago from the tutorial here on this site for my android 2.3.3 hboot 2.16....well i finally got to root it and got really excited. THe main 2 reasons i rooted were for wifi tethering and terrible battery life. Bought an extended battery before but didnt help much.
Anyway i think i flashed it lol with superuser? ( i backed up files with rom manager and myrombackup) I just downloaded set cpu with the following settings
enabled check notifications check
screen off priority 100 245 max 245 min performance
charging full priority 50 998 max 245 min ondemand
battery<75 priority 50 806 max 245 min ondemand
So my question is, are these good settings? how much better do you think my battery life will be with these settings?
oh and do roms and kernels come in like the same zip file? where i flash them together? and which do you guys think is best for battery life, but similar to the evo stock rom? i dont wanna change my phone too much, i like it, just didnt like the battery life...sorry if this question is redundant, but most of the threads i found were really old so i didnt wanna put in an old rom or kernel if i dont have to.... THANK u guys so much before hand.
If you want to stay stock there are a few roms in the development forum that are stock with bloat removed and minimal mods. You might check some of those out.
One example is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249615
The next step would be a ROM that is ported to the Evo but with a stock look. I am running MikG which I think is one of the best.
A ROM will always come with a kernel that will be flashed with it. You can always flash a different kernel over it later. Freedom is a good kernel (see my sig for a link).

If your looking for a stock rooted ROM with good battery life you might want to try a froyo ROM with an sbc kernel you will get almost 2 times more out of your battery and its the same old sense 1.0 so you won't even notice a difference.

What recovery are you using ?
I recommend amon ra 2.3 if your not already .
If you already backed up your ROM from recovery "nandroid backup" then you don't need to do it again its just in case something goes wrong so you can go back to it.
Yes download the ROM from here and the kernel then wipe everything except your sd card and battery stats "you can wipe your battery stats if your battery is at a 100%" then flash the ROM and then the kernel.
If you get any fc's after first boot fix permissions if that doesn't work go back into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot that will fix most problems.
Hope that helps you out.

umm does the kernel come in the same file as the rom that i download? and where do I get the radio/wimax updates and what do I do with them? do i flash them too and when?

Superuser is an app the let you allow root to apps that need it.
You want to make a backup from recovery its called a nandroid backup I think you have clock work mod recovery you might want to switch to amon ra 2.3 you can get the link from my sig.
When you make a backup make sure to backup your wimax keys I think cwm does it on its own in ra2.3 you can pick and choose what you want to backup.
I'm not sure what radios your on but you should be good if you had 2.3 on your phone when you rooted it.
The ROM comes with a kernel but its the stock kernel give me a minute and I'll post a link to the ones that work with it.

For the recovery zip make sure its on the root of your sd not in any folder then boot to your bootloader not recovery you can download an app called quick boot to do that or just turn your phone off then hold down volume and power when it comes to the bootloader it will automatically scan for the update just hit volume up to except it then you can reboot the phone or go to recovery.

You could download ROM Manager from the market and it has the option to flash ra2.3 in the app .

So if I use rom manager I dont have to go to the bootloader screen? or do i have to do both? I already went to rom manager premium, then used alternate flash and now it says current recovery RA recovery v2.3 and latest recovery Clockworkmod 5.0.2.2....
Do i do a nandroid backup after setting up amona RA?

No you don't have to flash it then I just forgot about rm and flashing it that way I don't use rm anymore only to fix permission.
Now when you go to recovery to make a backup go under backup/restore/ nand backup and select what you want to backup leave the ones that are checked then check android secure ,sdext if your sd is partitioned , and wimax I believe thats all I backup .
You don't need to backup recovery or cache .
You should also make a backup of just your wimax keys that way if you lose them in a flash you can restore just that and not have to restore a whole backup.

Thank you so much! I did it both ways anyway lol, I'm currently doing a nandroid backup for everything, then doing it juts for wimax. THen ill copy them to my computer and flash drive just incase.
Ok, so i think i decided, I'm gonna get the [ROM] Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - [RLS 5 - 01/07/2011] - and for the kernel im gonna flash, 4.3.4-cfs-havs-more-sbc (More Aggressive HAVS) (can u make sure that's the one you have? and does it have at least 12 hours of moderate use? i text a lot, thats about it..)
ok now can you tell me if I have the steps right please?
- I'm going to download the rom Download Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 5 (Mirror 1) and paste it onto the root of my sd card.
- Then I'm going to download the kernel 4.3.4-cfs-havs-more-sbc (More Aggressive HAVS)- and paste it to the root of my sd card.
- Then, I use quick boot to go into recovery, then I wipe what I have to wipe/factory reset, then I flash the rom....
- THen I dont have to wipe again, and i just flash the kernel...THen, I can use myrombackup to get all my apps and the information in the apps back...
Should i use set cpu with this rom and kernel? and is thiss correct? lol- I'm really excited btw thank u sooo much---and oh the kernel i have on my phone right now is kernel version- 2.6.35.10...

Use mybackup root to backup apps and data then use it to restore them.
Yes it sounds like you got it wipe everything except your sd card, battery stats and screen rotation I'll post a like to a super wipe I use that you can flash to make sure you wipe everything as well.
Then flash the ROM then the kernel then reboot.
If you get any force closes go back into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache then under other run fix uid package mismatch or what ever its called that will fix permissions from recovery.

Flash this before you flash the ROM it will wipe everything for you do the wipes on your own as well.
After your all done you should download the app battery calibration and calibrate your battery to get more battery life it wipes you battery stats you can do it from recovery but you should just use the app it will tell you what to do.

Last week, I rooted my Sprint HTC EVO 4g using directions I found on this site plus the revolutionary site. All I did was turn S-OFF so I could do wireless tethering with my phone - I did not change the stock ROM - it worked great and I thank you for all you do here.
However, today Sprint sent an OTA update. I know I should not accept it. However, how do I get the update? I have been reading on this forum and I know that the wonderful developers create Sprint stock ROM updates, but I do not know how to choose the correct one and update my stock ROM.
Could someone please advise me on what I should do - or point me in the direction I should go to find out how to get the update?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Hey,
Yeah you are right about that ota can unroot and damage your phone!
Alright to do this you will need to flash a rom! this link below is a tutorial how to do so! just scroll past all the rooting guide and follow the directions how to flash a rom! Make sure to do a Nandroid first! then wipe your data cache and Davlik Cache!
http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/03/h...flash-new-rom-and-kernel-on-your-htc-evo.html
Then download the rooted o'xed version of the rom and place it on your sd card! and just follow the instructions on how to flash! This is the latest ota of htc sense and it runs great Brad is a great guy and makes great things! and this is just is the stock evo rom with update!

Tips:
Remember you will loose your data text apps and so forth! so you might want to use titanium back up to save your apps and data first!
Be sure to nandroid
Be sure you wipe!

Don't use rom manager on the evo amon ra and amon RA style recovery are the only ones that work properly when. Wiping cwm doesn't always wipe properly and causes issues and rom manage does not work without cwm recovery

With out clockwork mod recovery rom manager is useless you can't flash or wipe anything with it as it uses cwm to do so, so if you are using amon ra or amon RA style supersonic recovery(my preference) then rom manager becomes useless besides doing it in recovery you're not trusting a script to do it without screwing something up

Its worth noting that the if you want to keep the same sense rom (like the one your have before you root) stevos link to brads page will be the best.
an app that would be worth downloading before you flash a rom if its your first time is titanium back up (and super user assuming you have not installed it already) titanium back up will allow you to save (back up) your apps so when your flash the rom you can reload the apps that you have now onto the new installation. I hope this helped!
Here is a wiki it list stock rom's and costume one's for the supersonic (HTC EVO).
