[Q] Why isn't my evo updating?

So, i rooted my EVO a long time ago with unrevoked 2, i believe, and i decided i didn't want to bother with roms and all that crap, so i decided to update to 2.2, but unfortunately after i download it and start the install, it stops about a third the way through of the install of froyo and gives me a error(triangle with a ! in it, little android guy next to it on the bottom right). I'm not exactly sure why this is happening, but i thought something was screwed up, so i decided to do a factory refresh after backing up all my stuff. Did so, and got same results, think i read it has something to do with the custom recovery added on with unrevoked? Well, can anyone help me get to straight up 2.2(new OTA for 30 fps fix as well), then root? I really just don't want to bother with ROM's right now. Thanks in advance for any help!
Oh and, after i get the error, it reboots fine after i pull out the battery.

It's a sticky in the development thread 3.28.651.5 I believe. Just flashed it, stock rooted Rom. To me seems a lot faster (I'm very picky haha) was running a stock rooted rom prior. Did NOT lose root. Must be fully rooted though (s-off) with unrevoked forever. Hope that helps. BTW do a search next time or someone will flame u

[Q] Phone Bricked. Please help!

Okay, so I was unrooting my droid incredible and it brought it to stock 2.1 i was trying to install the update.zip to update it to 2.2, but it wasnt working...so i tried installing the 2.2 RUU onto it...and now when i try to turn on my phone it always boots into the Bootloader...what should i do?
Note: LED charging light still comes on, and i can still go into recovery(stock recovery though since my phone is no longer rooted)
If theres no way to fix it, can i just play dumb and tell verizon its not starting up, because doesnt HTC have to reflash everything anyway for security purposes....the only downside though is they would probably send me an SLCD Incredible

First and foremost, your phone is not bricked... not even close.
Simply try reinstalling the 2.1 RUU. Being that it's signed by HTC, you should be able to do what you need to in the stock recoveryThat being said, your update.zip probably failed because your phone was restored to a state prior to the May OTA. Without being at the correct software version, you cannot use the update.zip to install Froyo.

If you get the bootloader, you should be ok. I think the zip has to be on the root of the SD and named update.zip for the stock recovery.

Look in the android development forum for "the ultimate back to stock thread". download the "PB31IMGxxxxx" file there, rename it to just PB31IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sd card. Go into the bootloader and let it run the update. This will bring you back to a 2.2 stock. From there you can re-root and do whatever else you like.

Okay, well it was the get back to stock thread that i followed...and i know that i was trying to do the update.zip from a version of android that was too old, because i was the one who posted a thread a few months back with the update.zip in it. However, i was obviously stupid enough to not save teh "May" OTA and now the link is dead. Some people were reporting however that it still worked without it, so i wanted to see for myself.
In any case, it seems that a 5 hour battery pull seemed to do the trick, go figure. Can someone explain to me what a battery pull on this kind of stuff makes a difference and why the length of time sometimes makes a difference as well?

using odin,stuck 1/2 way downloading on phone

ok so I had to try the 2.2 out and the bugs are killing my experience. i am trying to revert back to stock .downloaded the pit and tar and am trying to use odin. my phone is stuck at 1/2 way mark after 20 min so far on downloading screen. since all the links are 404 ed i downloaded odin 1.7. the stock pit and stock tar. it takes 2 hours for me to download the big one. what can i do now?stuck in factory yfs?

Just do a battery pull and resart odin
odin is sensitive but just keep trying should take about 5 mins
and please post in correct section

what is the corect section and retried what you said 3 times. trying the 64 bit computer now, and man are you fast.

Should've been posted in the Q&A section
Here's some more info...

i Recommend you do this if you can get into recovery b/c it's flashable (no need to use odin)...

Moved to Q&A, please post in the correct section.

i looked and double checked and found out I was trying to flash dg 27. to get the stock one i guess its going to be 4.5 hours unless anyone knows where else to download it faster if i dont find one

is rapidshare good and how much do they soak you?

yea it'll take awhile to download lol just be patient its a huge file

Well I. Can say its a learning curve. I have finaly odined the stock flash(I think) and ended up with a broken gps so I installed clockwork 2.5 and downloaded the stock rom flashable from cwm. That fixed the gps and I backed it up. Next I tried flashing another 2.2 rom, broke the gps again and tried restoring to the backup but it failed. Reflashed the stock d17 again that got me back working from the 2.1 to 2.2 to 2.1 again but the android market didn't work so I. Reinstalled again and no gps again and soomehow I think thbis is the rom that doesn't alow kme to shut the phone off, just restarts. I want to go back to stock working everything again. Is that possible? What cwm flash rom will get me there again. That 2.2 just screws me every time.

HELP! I rooted my phone and not touchwiz is gone

Hello,
Last night I rooted my device using this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265429) method and file from zedomax and everything worked great except when I booted my device there was a yellow triangle with a black “!” in it. I figured that just indicated the device was rooted or running a 3rd party kernel so I didn’t worry about it.
Today I launched my camera app and it failed to load the interface but showed the image from the camera momentary then crashed back to the home screen. I restarted my device and when the device restarted it was very slow and unresponsive and after unlocking it my live wallpaper was gone replaced with the last background I used before selecting a live background a couple weeks back. No icons or widgets loaded and I am unable to open the settings tray. The only things I am able to do with the phone is pull down the notification bar, respond to text messages, adjust the volume and hold power to restart the phone. All of which are very slow and delayed.
When I connect the device to my computer windows is no longer able to load the drivers and Kies is unable to connect with the device. I am not sure what caused this or how to resolve this issue so any advice or known fixes would be fantastic! I am unable to get to clockwork mod to restore my backup and I am unable to get to Kies or the phone settings to do a factory reset so I really don’t know what to do they were supposed to be a last resort and now I don’t even think I can do them. I am an experienced techie but I am new to android and this is the first device I have rooted so any advice would be great no matter how basic it may be.
UPDATE: I just connected the phone via USB to my laptop at work and it was able to discover and install everything it needed to connect with the phone. I am installing Kies now so at least there is hope of a factory restore, although I really hope it doesn't come to that!

Boot into download mode and flash the stock eg30 tar file from crawrj.

Try flashing a stock rom via clockworkmod.

You can root again and restore your backup, or go to this website www.lostandtired.com (midnight roms blog) click on android development and download and flash the sprint bloat and TW restore zip. Hope that helps.

I flashed the stock rom which didn't change anything so then I used clockworkMod to do a factory reset which ended up trapping me into a boot loop. I could use Odin to flash new roms but the device would never go past the 4G logo
I ended up taking the device back to Best Buy and since the loading screen showed the stock rom and they couldn't get past the 4G logo I just had to say it wasn't rooted and they gave me a new one.
I would love to know if anyone has any idea of what went wrong here so that I can feel comfortable rooting again. Also if anyone has some basic articles handy that teach basics of rooting that would be great, I didn't even know about clockwork mod until after I had this problem so knowing things like that earlier would have helped a lot I think. I'll be spending the weekend looking up everything I can find on the subject so any reading you guys can suggest would be fantastic.

If you a clockwork and "stock rom" you were still rooted...Doing a factory reset will send you into bootloop when rooted. Trying to flash other roms on a bootloop is not going to work. You need to have grabbed a backup such as Zedo has on his post and put the backup in clockwork folder on your phone. Then flash that in CWM. Would of brought you out of bootloop to a stock rom with his kernal. Now you can flash Roms and kernals or could of flashed crawf or anyone else FULL stock rom and been back to stock kernel and rom and not rooted.

Ohhhh that's what happened! Awesome thanks. I will be much better prepared with backups out the wazoo this time haha.
Now if only I could figure out why Touchwiz died in the first place hmmm....

I hope you can figure it out, just postin here to say that when I saw this thread, it reminded me of the thread over in the EVO forums about the guy who claimed that sprint removed his Sense from his phone.

haha SPRINT removed it?! So that person thinks sprint monitors every device and has a team of techies on staff to hack your phone and brick it if you break their rules?... yeah that totally makes more sense than a file got corrupted when you were messing with the kernel.. some people maybe shouldn't be rooting their devices in the first place haha

[Q] Calkulin's Rom won't allow recovery..

So I I've had 2 different recoveries so far that have worked fine.. both came from Rogue though. One was from the 1.5 kernel (Hitman) which installed CWM Touch recovery, the other came with the normal recoveries based off CW 5.0.2.7. They were working fine until I installed Calkulin's Rom(2.8.1). Not sure if they're just incompatible or what, but when I go to recovery it shows the background image of the recovery but none of the options show up. It shows for about half a second and then it goes back to the original boot screen, then to the 2nd screen and turns on. So it basically skips right through the recovery and reboots. Do I need a new Rom or can I fix this? I really like the battery life and visuals of Calkulin's Rom and would love to be able to keep it.
EDIT: One more thing.. Since I installed the ROM, I've been getting market error 492. It doesn't allow me to install anything in the market..
I haven't tried a full wipe yet, so I guess I'll try that and then see how that works with the recovery and Rom..

I did the same thing to my phone this week, and I'm running Blazer, so i'm sure it has nothing to do with either ROM.
Not sure how I caused it but with so many folks running both without this error, I'm guessing that your issue (like mine was) was probably some how self induced.
I flashed back to stock and started over, and things have been working great. Might be worth a shot flashing back, or restore a backup and start fresh.
Haven't seen the market error before. I'm sure someone here has
Good Luck

If you got it off here, could you show me which stock you flashed..?

Everything you need is in the Epic 4G Touch Android Development section
Here is the post I used from Sfhub

Watch the videos by Qbking77 They walk you thru everything step by step. (I hear his video intro rif every time I close my eyes now so you've been warned) Makes it super easy.
I would read everything you can and watch the videos before you get in too deep. I've had this phone since December, and just flashed my 1st ROM this week cause I've been reading up, and learning all I could before I jumped in the pool.

Well I've done all this with 2 phones before but I've never had this happen.. normally I just get the Rom and I'm good to go..

I think I must've gone wrong somewhere when I originally rooted through a stock rom.. It already seems to be more respondful.

Try booting while holding the volume up and power button.
If that does not work, flash recovery from rom manager, and that should get you into recovery to flash whatever kernel/recovery u want.

I've done all that.. None of it works.. I'm currently ODIN'ing Factory Stock Rom with root. Hopefully after that I can redo all of these and eventually end up with a working, corresponding Rom and kernel..
