1) so i think i know how to flash a custom ROM, problem is, i dont know how to 'wipe'. and what is a wipe anyway? also, i did the steps on xda on how to root 2.2 so im all set there. i dont know if i got nanlock or whatever that is.
2) i got rom manager and its pretty use to use, except, like i siad, i dont know how to 'wipe'. do i have ot back up everything???
3) what is a kernel and how to install a kernel? for example, i want to install the kernel that lifts the 30fps cap as well as the kernel that lets u overclock to 1.2ghz
help plzzz thx
If you followed the tutorial and used Unrevoked 3, you don't have nand unlocked. Use toast's part 2 or simple root for that.
To wipe, boot into recovery (power down then hold power and vol down) A white screen should come up, use vol buttons to scroll down to recovery and press power. Then just navigate to the wipe option.
Flashing a kernel is the same as flashing a rom. However, careful overclocking past 1.152. Most phones aren't stable beyond that.
Good luck. Hope this helps.

Okay thanks. I installed the netarchy kernel on a rooted 2.2 (no custom ROMS or anything) and everything seems to be working fine. im in the middle of restoring all my applications and stuff right now.
as for nandlock or whatever, whats the purpose of this??
Nandunlock will give you full root.
Soome ifnot most popular roms require you to have full root.
But isn't unrevoked forever supposed to give you nandunlock?

Oh I might add a ROM later on but I'm happy with my rooted 2.2 (no rom) with the netarchy kernel. its awesome!

I have a Telus DHD and I just temprooted the phone and installed clockworkmod 3.0.0.5. I did a nandroid backup and when I go to restore the it after trying out several roms, it won't boot past the HTC screen. I tried starting over and installing the stock Telus rom and nandroid backup again and restore and still the same thing. Does anyone have this problem?
I'm not 100% sure but I think the problem is the CWM version. Did you make the backup with CWM 3.0.0.5?
You need permanent root and s off (I recommend eng s off).
Follow the guides in the development section.
Also try a non 3 series clockworkmod recovery if you're using a 2.2 rom.

how would i change the rom manager if i cannt boot the phone passed the htc screen please help
Ok. Don't worry, this can be repaired.
First you need to see if you can reboot into recovery.
Take the battery out and restart the phone by holding volume down and power. This will take you to the bootloader. Then using the volume buttons scroll down to recovery and select using the power button.
Next you should get a screen with the red triangle on it. When you see this, hold volume up and press power. Then select wipe data factory resest. This will wipe all your data but ce la vie dude.
If this doesn't work you need to flash a pd98img.zip file from the bootloader. Get back to me and I'll help if needed. Good luck.

Don't restore. It won't work without soff and perm root. Factory reset the reboot. Does your phone reboot without trying to restore?

in hboot it says eng s-off
Can you reboot without restore? Do you have sdk on your pc?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
i dont have sdk and when i reboot it stays on the htc white screen and goes no further i have to remove battery and hold down and power to get to hboot and recovery from there takes me to cwm 3.0.0.5
Ok. So we need to flash on older clockwork. Email me and I'll reply with the files you need then I'll talk you through flashing the recovery from fastboot. You have the wrong version of clockwork. The one you have is for 2.3 based roms.

I tried the camera fix posted here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970452
I used Odin, all I get after it finishes is my phone sits on a blank screen with Samsung written on it. It never finishes booting.
Before I tried running the camera fix kernal, I used
Stock EB13 Deodexed EXT4 + CW 3.0.0.6 listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853209 posted by art3mis-nyc.
It worked fine, except for the lag when rotating phone, (known issue, I was able to fix using the fix posted on the forums) and the video lag.
So I am guessing that the EB13 that I am running isn't compatible with the camera kernal update?
So...my question is, is there a patch I can get to fix that, or do I need to install a different mod? So far, I have only updated my phone via modem, and not through clockwork(which means I have more reading to do, if that is the direction I must take)
Thanks guys.
Try the Genocide 0.3a kernel. Should work perfect.

Works flawlessly for me.
Ok. On that note, the eb13 I installed says it is prerooted and has clockwork installed. How do I findclockwork to then install the Genocide? I am watching a youtube on how to use clockwork, but apparently I have no icon for it, and I tried the (hold volume down, camera button and power button at same time) and nothing happened.
I am at a loss.
1. Download the Genocide kernel .zip and copy it to your SD card.
2. Power the phone off.
3. Once completely shut down hold vol down, camera and power until you see the clockwork mod menu
4. Choose install zip from SD card and choose the kernel zip you downloaded.
5. When it says completed (after the screen flickers once or twice) choose reboot and you should be good to go.

Will I need to install a custom ROM too, or can I stick with my stock EB13?
Thanks insanity, and other posters.
I finally figured out how to get into clockwork. But the 5 minutes between posts wouldn't let me state that.
I was going to use the "trulyEpic which is about 130mb, and the genocide one I downloaded is like 8mb. Is it supposed to be so small?

I do believe the kernel works with stock eb13 as well. Give it a shot! Thats what development is all about.
And yes, around 8mb sounds about right for the kernel size.

Yes its that small. The rom includes everything for your phone. All the system stuff. That's why its so big of a file the kernel is just that so when u flash the rom u have to flash the kernel afther the rom is installed

Ok. Got ya, so since I had an eb13 rom, just flashing the genocide kernal over it, made basically the few changes he listed including the camera fix. BTW, flashed it, and camera is fixed. Big thanks to everyone.
First I would like to point out that I am a new to flashing. I rooted my phone last week by following the instructions on the xda wiki for my G2 and everything was fine. One thing that annoyed me was that Netflix no longer worked on my G2 so i downloaded a .zip file on these forums that was said to fix it. when my phone rebooted i had an all black screen almost as if i dont have a home launcher. i have a notification bar and when i go to the unlock screen i can see the wallpaper and such but when i unlock the slider everything goes back to black. Any idea why ?
Netflix not working is a well known problem but what steps did you take to run the patch
Btw I blacked my screen just lije you and it was because I forgot to wipe, so I recovered and did it the right way, you have a backup right?

Dude I think he's a little more worried about getting phone running correctly. Turn off phone, hold pwr and vol down, once in hboot press volume button down once so u can select recovery, in recovery wipe data/factory reset. Reflash rom from where ever its saved. Sure you hope you made a nandroid of your original rom.
As far as netflix. Obviously it works on froyo, but homestly everytime I have run the patch(correctly yes) with any gb based rom it will then play video but so choppy there really is no point in bothering..and I'm on a 40Mbps connection(phone right around 20Mbps) so that's not the issue.
However I started using coredroid today and after ran the patch netflix works better than it did on froyo...quite happy and its a pretty sick rom
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
My bad...I feel like an ass now. Its not a rom so you shouldn't have to wipe data/fac reset. I didn't do it for coredroid
But if you have the bigger issues you mentioned I would either flash your nandroid or if you are going to want something esle wipe all data/factory and dalvik..or even better get on a computer, download superwipe from dev section. Place on sd and flash that first
Sorry for jumping the gun hahaha

I recently got an evo 4g off eBay to replace my blackberry that wouldn't stop freezing on me. Anyhow, it was rooted by the prior owner. It's running 2.2 and I would like to upgrade to gingerbread if at all possible. I have tried the HTC software update but it says that everything is current. Any advice on how to upgrade it would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You have to decide whether you want to stay rooted or not. Taking a software update will unroot your phone. I recommend keeping root. Go to android development, flash a new rom(don't forget to backup before and wipe) and then learn all the magics about rooting; kernels, apps, scripts etc
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
Ok. Is gingerbread unrootable?
I tried flashing cyanogen but got a boot loop. I downloaded it with Rom manager.

No, it's rootable. There are threads all over about Rooting GB, 2.3, etc using Revolutionary.
Truth is, there are ROMs based on GB with Sense 3.0 hybrids

Gb is rootable but It takes time. Now here's what you should do: get rid of rom manager, search for amon RA recovery and flash it(instructions in the thread) then you want to manually download cm7 from their website(or download decks which is what I recommend) and download gapps. Then use a file manager to move these two files to the root of your SD card(which means these two shouldn't be in any folders) then go into recovery by pulling your battery, replacing it, turning on your phone while holding volume down button. Then choose recovery. Then wipe everything, the flash cm7 and gapps, then reboot. There you go

Thanks for the advice, Crossrocker. My only thing is that if 2.3 is rootable then why wouldn't I want to switch? I'll take your advice in the meantime and play around with CM a bit to see if I even like it. I'm a total android noob (that's what the thread title is supposed to say... still getting used to having a touchscreen keyboard with autocorrect... I miss my physical keyboard.)
Just wondering, what size SD card do you have?

If you want, then go ahead. But IMO you should stay rooted.you might as well just flash a stock tweaked rom

I've got an 8 gig.
Okay. Lemme know if/when you decide to flash a Sense ROM or MIUI, because I wrote up a full guide to partitioning your SD card.
Partitioning lets you offload some data onto your SD card, making the ROM run smoother. It really helps in the heavy Sense ROMs
Right on, tropicalbrit. I'll hit you up for it once I get to that point. I still feel like a caveman trying to land an airplane whenever I'm trying to mod this thing. Lol.

If you used amon RA recovery and wiped everything then it should have worked. But if it didn't, then search goo-inside.me for format all zip in the tools section. Then flash it and re flash cm7

Only thing I can think of is your not using amon ra. CWM is known to not wipe correctly and can lead to problems
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
this is what someone else told me to do, (i copied and pasted it) think hes right?
"Ok. I suggest using Rom manager to switch to amon ra recovery. Once you've done that, do a complete wipe ... Including cache, dalvik, boot, data, and system. Flash Rom. Allow 5 mins after initially screens before downloading apps and making changes. This allows the Rom to settle. After you've done that, you can move on with your setup. I would suggest staying away from Rom Manager, you won't need it.
MikG is the replacement to MikFroyo. I've never heard of a MikFroyo 5.x"
