HELP!!! I destoryed my EVO and just got a new one.

Ok so I fell on my evo (Hard) and completely smashed it. It does not turn on at all.
My Smashed phone was rooted etc... I did have Nandroid back ups on that phone.
I just got my new one and put my old SD card in it. I go into recovery and I get a back screen with a small pic of a phone and a red "!"
Is there anything I can do to image my new phone to the same as my old one?

Have you already rooted the new phone?

1. You still need to root the new phone
2. If you made your nandroid with amon ra (which you should), make sure you delete the wimax.img from the old nandroid before you try to restore it on the new phone otherwise you will hose your 4G forever.
Finally, in the interest of minimizing issues, you're better off just setting up again from scratch in case there's some compatibility problem with your new evo and you'll end up having to work backwards to figure out what's wrong.

that's what I did....took all of 2 hours I think including the rooting process. Just start fresh or I bet you will run into some bugs.

Ok I just re-rooted the phone.
How to i delete the Wimax.img?

Go into the nandroid folder and delete the wimax file.
Again, it's not recommended to restore a nandroid from a different phone, if you still want to, it's up to you, just make sure you delete the wimax file.

hmmm sounds like I might be playing with fire if I do this so I guess I will just do it manual. Thank you for the heads up!

Can I have your broken phone? I want to do a flip.

I would not use a nand from another phone like others have said it will break your 4G FOREVER.

[Q] Just got a replacement Evo

After I root can I run a Nandroid restore if they are different hardware versions?

Not smart to do especially since it will over right your wiimax keys. Each key is reserved for one phone and account

Good point

Yes dont restore nandroid from a different phone. You will overwrite your wimax keys, and may not even be able to make calls or use 3g.
You can certainly restore your apps via Titanium, but just dont use nandroid.

Start from scratch man. You flash that nandroid you might as well kiss 4G goodbye. I learned that the hard way. New phone new beginning.

doesnt amon it ask you if you want to back those up?

See I didn't read anything prior to this but I just got a replacement evo two days ago and rooted it and just did a restore of everything. I've been using MIUI, but I didn't have any problems what so ever with anything, but maybe I was lucky....

If you did a full restore, then you definitely did overwrite your wimax keys.

I thought nandroid only backed up Wimax keys if it was specified? I'm using Clockwork (I know, i know) and it has a check box for wimax.

[Q] 4g broke and cant unroot HELP

Need help fixing 4g. Dont know when it stopped working but I have tried other roms and no luck. I have updated the radio then the profile and then the prl, I rebooted and then did the wimax and profile and prl and deleted some wimax file like one of the post said to do. No luck at all
I then tried to unroot to see if sprint would swap it out. When I try to unroot it tells me my battery is less then 30% and the other ruus say they dont see my phone. I dont know how I rooted it but I think it was with unrevoked not sure.
4g says scanning then connecting and back to scanning thats it. I use mikrom 4.61 right now

Did you try restoring a backup that had wimax working?
This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.

Did you check your RSA keys with the app from the Market?
Is your battery less than 30%? If it is, plug it in. If you want to unroot, just dl the s-on zip, flash that, then place the PC36IMG.zip on the root of your SD Card and go to hboot and let it update.

I got it unrooted. I did the unrevoke on patch and tried like 5 zip files and one of them worked. So its stock but I don't think 4g is working yet ill know tomorrow when I goto work.
Now what is this thing from the market for? Never mind I looked it up. So if my key is lost what do I do then? Send it in?
And no I didn't have any backups

You should have to buy a new phone for being a moron. This is why every post about rooting reminds you to make a backup. You messed up live with the consequences. Sorry that is harsh, but this is preventable and all to common. People are way to over their heads messing with their phones like this. Now you will try to get your phone replaced and because of people like yourself replacement warrenties get more strict and costs go up. Sorry for the rant it just really annoys me that people keep ruining their phones because they are clueless.

Your not being harsh at all... YOUR BEING A DINK,, And what would a backup do for me because I dont know crap right.. I did find my very first backup from when I first rooted the phone and that didnt help at all. So I unrooted it and its still not working. And thanks to the rest of you guys for the help and info, Im thinking the wimax key is gone but I didnt want to root the phone to find out. Sprint is doing a swap right now so Im all good..

Me? No I didn't. Everyone says to do a backup but when I found my backup it didn't help. Even the stock Rom didn't help. So if someone can tell me how to backup the wimax key that may help next time. But what I see is once its gone its gone, not even a backup will help. One thing I did learn is that I'm staying with mik's Rom lol.
I rooted my evo and now I see a wimax backup in the recovery. I have never seen that in the backup of the recovery before. But many things have changed so could it be something they added in down the road? I rooted the phone when it first came out. But now I see what you are talking about the backup. Maybe next time someone can fill me in on that and not be such a ass.

It's easiest to do with Amon-Ra recovery, which you can find out about installing if you do a search for Amon-Ra 2.3. When using Ra, go to backup, and just check "Wimax." It'll backup just your wimax. Now, just go into your nandroid folder on your sd and add a "-wimax_key"to the end of the file name so you can remember it, and then put that backup in multiple safe places.
Are you sure it's your phone that is having the issue? Sprint could just have an outage. I've had some janky 4g coverage lately.
If it is your phone, what recovery and version are you running? All the new recoveries backup the Wimax keys. It's not true that "once it is gone, it's gone." I imagine you ran Unrevoked to root it which installs Clockworkmod recovery, so your original nandroid backup should have the keys backedup already. In that case you'd just need to wipe and then restore the nandroid. Upon doing that, it will also restore your Wimax key. DL the Wimax key checker from the market as previously mentioned and verify your RSA (Wimax) key is present. You are good to go if so.

Thanks for the info. It was the phone for sure and I must have had the very first recovery version because I never seen the wimax backup before. Now on my new phone I see the wimax and other things I can backup. So on this one I checked them all and did my backup So that must be why the backup I found didnt help me. I never thought about checking to see if the recovery had updates.

HELP! Problems Resetting Phone to Stock

Okay guys, I have a big problem that likely has a quick fix...
I recently got an EVO 4G LTE, and I want to trade my EVO 4G in to Sprint. It was recommended that I go back to stock, and that I do a factory reset (I was on CM9). So I use AmonRa and factory reset the phone. I then do a nandroid restore back to the stock ROM, and then pull my SD card out to put in my new phone (I didn't think it was needed after restoring). Now I can't get past the EVO 4G white screen... 10 minutes later... Is there something on that SD card that is needed to start this bad boy back up? Can I just copy some files over through AmonRa via my computer and get this problem fixed? Thanks everyone! I'll miss this forum!

just flash an RUU from bootloader. I have never tried to restore stock sense from nandroid so I am not sure if this is the issue or not. Flashing the RUU has always worked for me.

I've never used an RUU. I downloaded one, but how do I use it?

there are a few places to look to get back to a stock, unrooted evo.
it depends on how you rooted in the first place. The new HTC-dev method or Unrevoked.
if you used unrevoked to gain s-off look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16949711&postcount=15
or here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=780141&highlight=unroot
the seccond post walks you through both methods.

[Q] i thought a nandroid back up of evo would not work on a different evo?

topic plus details:
i needed to get a replacement evo 4g phone recently and after paying the 35 fee i got a refurb.
Anyways, i got the new refurbed evo all rooted and put cm7 back on and noticed a few small things needed some tweaking like the sprint vvm so i thought i would go back to stock and do that whole song and dance with titan back up and vvm to get it working.
Here is the point: i accidentally restored to an old back up of cm7 from about a month ago that was done on my old evo4g, and i noticed it worked perfectly on my new evo.
i thought nandroid backups were a clone image of the rom that would only work on the phone that the back up was made on, i guess this isnt true?
so my question is: am i running some kind of risk running this old nandroid back up and am i going to run into problems. i have many backups so i could always restore the backup from today wich was a clean install of cm7.

Did you delete the WiMax img before using that backup? If not you may have lost your RSA keys which help you connect to 4G.
