[Q] Unrevoked + ROM Manager on Desire

I posted this query in the unrevoked thread, but it's probably better here:
I rooted my 2.1 Telstra branded Desire with unrevoked, so easy. Now, I want to flash Froyo using the original OpenDesire rom.
I also want better A2SD, so I need to partition my SD card. I installed ROM Manager to do the partitioning, but it complains that I don't have Clockwork recovery installed, even though it was installed by unrevoked. What do I do here? Is it okay to have ROM Manager reinstall Clockwork? Will this break anything?

unrEVOked installs the recovery to your recovery partition on the phone. Rom manager installs it on the SD card, 2 totally different things. So it's fine to install it.
I have seen a few posts where people have had bother with running 2 recoveries, so if I were you I'd choose one and stick to it.
I personally used unrEVOked to permanently flash amonra's recovery to the phone. I think it's the best by far. You can do a lot more with it and it's better looking.

i was using amon-ra but went back to clockwork mod cuz it wouldnt let me flash unsigned zip's

Thanks for the replies, guys. All done, flashed and Froyo looks great. And I have RAM free again!!
That was far less painful than I expected it to be. I'm kicking myself for waiting so long, now.

[Q] How the heck did I Unroot?

OK, so I'm a bit of a n00b here, and I need just a quick hand.
I'd flashed Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo a few days ago and was attempting to use metamorph to tweak the battery icon. Ran a Nand backup beforehand. Something went wrong with the metamorph and I was stuck in a bootloop afterwards.
So I hit power and held down on the volume rocker, hoping to get into my Nand.
Instead, it wouldn't let me select anything, went through its own update/recovery process, and now that it's done, I'm back to stock (complete with sprint bloatware) and totally unrooted. I DLed Rom Manager off the market and tried to get into Amon_Ra recovery, but it keeps telling me I don't have permission (thus I deduce I've lost root access.)
Is there anyway I can flash my Nand at this point, or do I need to go back through the rooting process?
Thanks for your help.

To get a recovery on your phone, you need to have root.
To get root need superuser permissions and/or nand unlock
To get nand unlock and superuser permissions you need to go through the rooting process.
If you've used unrevoked 3.21 and have S-OFF. You can flash recoveries and superuser permissions without having to go through any rooting process.

So I guess then what I need to understand is how would I go about flashing the superuser?
edit: at this point I've already gone through the whole rooting process, including unrevokedforever.zip and the additional ENG bootloader. I get into ROM manager, and go to recovery, but the clockworkmod recovery doesn't see my most recent backup. Reflashing to RA recovery, it finds it, but tells me I have to run the recovery via ADB. ???

Pretty sure what happened is that you left a stock pc36img.zip on your sd card, leftover from your rooting process. When you booted into hboot, it loaded it automatically and you must have hit update. Not sure what caused your bootloop though.
Check your sd card, and if theres a pc36img.zip on it, delete it. Look for the superuser app in your app drawer, and also check your hboot to see if you're s-off. If you are in fact back to unrooted stock, you can always run unrevoked to quickly root and then you can restore your nandroid, just make sure you have the same recovery that you used to make the nandroid.

When you go into the loader (Vol Down + Power) does it say S-Off in the first line?
If it does then you still have root and you can flash the custom recovery's .zip and you will be able to load back into recovery.
If you have S-Off read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8285266&postcount=1

Definitely. So now I need to get my microSD card reader and remove it. Can do.
Any idea why both Clockworkmod and Amon_RA are unable to load my backup? Versions for RA should be the same, and I think the same for Clockwork as well.

OK, I deleted PC36IMG.zip, now it just stays stuck in bootloader.

looks like I'm hosed, but here's what I'm learning on Freeza's thread, where I DLed the PC36IMG.zip in the first place:
freeza said:
UPDATE: It appears as though everyone is getting stuck in bootloader after this procedure. You can get out of this by reflashing your current ROM (without wiping) and/or restore a nandroid backup. Some have reported errors when trying to restore a nandroid backup. YMMV
Karadorde has put together a package that works. Read his instructions below:
First and foremost it seems that if you get stuck in the Bootloader (no matter what method you are using) then your Nandroid backups are broken. I don't know that anyone has been able to successfully restore from one of those yet.
The file in the OP allows you to apply just the engineering HBOOT.img (hboot_0.76.2000.img) This works flawlessly for some but not so well for others.
The file in Post 71 and Post 91 allows you to apply a full PC36IMG.zip that contains the engineering HBOOT.img (hboot_0.76.2000.img) This is a fix for some who have gotten stuck in the Bootloader after using the file from the OP. At the same time this has also caused the some of the same issues people were having with getting stuck in the Bootloader from the OP. This file will not downgrade any part of your phone, however, it will wipe the phone. Also it is reported that it broke root on one phone. I believe this only happened to one person, need confirmation on if it happened to multiple.
If you get stuck in the Bootloader you can re-flash your Kernel to fix the issue. Not sure if this works with the stock Kernel or if you have to have a custom Kernel. Looking for feedback on this.
If you get stuck in the Bootloader reflash your current rom. Need feedback on this as well.

With the text I've put in bold, looks like I'm hosed in that regard. So I'll just work on rebuilding it piecemeal.

If you reflash using the RUU from stock roms .com will that reset your hboot back to the non-dev hboot?

i do believe so, but someone correct me if im wrong, i do know when i unrooted a few weeks ago with the RUU i went to the newest hboot, but now that i'm rooted again im back to the ENG .76 version.

Running a RUU will put you at full stock, including radios and hboot.
If you are still stuck, try running the most current RUU and then rerooting.

Rooted Desire with unrevoked, now things are messed up

Hello
I recently rooted my phone with unrevoked when things was starting to **** me up..yeah I know it sounds bad and it's that bad.
I rooted my phone and everything was fine until I came to the Clockworkmod screen after the startup. Below the meny I was able to read this.
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.7
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/command
E:Can't find MISC:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
E:Can't find MISC:
After some research I realise this is bad but I don't know how bad it is.
I can tell you guys I got the Bravo PTV(?)4 S-ON..no other mentions.
The phone works as it could but i'm concerned and want my phone to work properly..as it should. Does anyone here have a clue, whatsoever I have to do to make this work like a charm.
I red this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853583&page=7 thread and it seems like Amonra works as a replacement to clockworkmod but I don't know how to make this work. As far as I understand it I have to reflash my phone with Amonra, like Clockworkmod.

SD card. Probably you didnt make a gold card.
I hate to say it, but, even I went through this mess.
1. Make a "gold card" of your SD card. You can find this by google. You own a Desire. This is a fact of life.
2. After a gold card, do a root of your phone. I would also flash Clockworkmod recovery, personally I use ROM Manager for this
then and only then, can you think about flashing a ROM
after you do a nandbackup
and wipe all 3 cache memories
then flash through recovery, and not RM
God forbid there are 12 billion threads on this.
3. Drink a hell of a lotta beer, and call us next week.
4, Dont even think about special sd partitions yet
hell, if you cant do a simple flash, why do ya wanna do all the spectacular ****.......

Thank you stringer. I've been looking at this thread for a long time now but i'm concurned. There's no problem for me to flash the damn thing, absolutly not..the thing I don't know is how it would make any sense. If I install that program, it still doesn't remove the clockworkmod which drives me crazy.

Ok I did a little more reading. So you have root, and because you have pvt4, clockwork recovery isn't working properly and you need to replace it with Ra.
I think it would work to s-off your device (http://www.alpharev.nl) and then use fastboot to erase clockwork and flash Ra.

Wow, thanks. Seem to be at bit risky to do that step..uh. I will do some research on my own. By the way, isn't it possible to unroot my device and then root it again?
Edit: And what happends if I install Clockworkmod via rom manager? Could it possible fix the problem? Does it really matter if it's flashed into my device or not. If I install that and enter recovery mode through the rom manager, could it possible be another working version of cwm?

I had this exact same issue with my PV4 desire. You don't need to flash AlphaRev to get past the "firmware too new" error (I didn't). All I did was resetting android back to factory setting and unrevoked with Amonra recovery.

No worries, s-off is about the same ad rooting, but yes you can unroot and root again ad the poster below suggests. Never thought of that!
The important bit is making sure to use the Ra recovery.

Same here. PVt-4. S-On.
I started with CWM, got the same error. Then, tried to root again with amon-ra, and it says firmware too new.
Solution: On the phone, Go to Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications. Uninstall the Zysploit apk.
Run unrevoked again with amon-ra. All done.

The thing is, I can't factory reset my phone. I've tried but the phone dosn't reset itself, no..it ends up at clockwork mod after a reboot and when I reboot it from there, still everything is left untouched in my phone.

Yes indeed. I was surprised myself.
Anyway, I took from this forum.

It worked for me. I had the same problem. I started with CWM, I have SU in the app drawer, thinking I have root the phone. But when I try to flash with Redux ROM, I got the error. So, I didn't want to S-OFF, so I decided to go with Amon-RA. And got that error saying firmware too new.
Then I found that thread....it did well for me.
Good Luck.

I've just checked and can't see a zysploit.apk so don't think it will apply.
Easiest thing for you to do would be to s-off and flash a new recovery.

You're wrong, when you're in applications..then press All Applications and scroll to the bottom, there it is.
Yeah, if this dosn't work I will try something else. I want to flash the new sense rom, otherwise I wouldn't care.

Fair enough, must be a PVT4 thing then.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk

After I flash with amon-ra and flash with Redux, zysploit.apk is no longer there in my apps. Perhaps this is only used by CWM?

What do you mean? Don't you think my phone is rooted?
What is S-ON/OFF anyway, does it mind if I unchecked Disable phone security in unrevoked?
Sounds nice to me, I should give it a try and do as you say.
Remove the apk and retry flashing it with AmonRa.

My first try with unrevoked wtih CWM got the cache error that you've posted on first page.
I found in the forum if you're PVT-4 and erase size < 40000, CWM won't work and it will prompt you that cache error.
This forum suggest that to go with amon-ra...and so I did.
Can't comment on s-on or s-off, many thread on this already.
Anyhow, for me I wanted root because I want to install Redux. Since CWM didn't work for me, so I went with amon-ra.

IT WORKED. I don't know how to thank you axbilly, this was really easy compared to the other ways installing amonra. Cheers mate!
Thank you too stringer!

Major Major Issues With 2.1 - 2.3 (Rooted/Unrooted)

Hey guys,
So here's what happened and is happening:
1. I was running a custom ROM (Baked Snack 1.7) on Froyo (2.2). The phone was working fine but I wanted to try Gingerbread 2.3.3 out because I heard it had great battery life.
2. My phone would not update to 2.3.3 from Baked Snack. I thought it might have something to do with it being rooted. I used this method to unroot...and I think I only got through the first part:
http://www.thedroiddemos.com/2010/09/10/how-to-unroot-the-evo-in-2-steps/
I installed the S-On tool like he said to. Then I moved the "new updated version" of PC36IMG (I had the old version on my card already). He said something about the "S-Off" appearing on his phone but not the viewer's...well, mine says S-Off.
So fast forwarding, I got Sprint to push me the update for 2.3.3. It downloaded it, but then a voicemail error came up saying I had 2 voicemails. Then when I called voicemail, it said I had no messages. Sprint said a Sprint store would have to physically go into the phone to erase the error.
I also got a second update message that said there were minor enhancements to Gingerbread. I tried downloading them but the installation failed. Sprint told me to ignore the update, that there had been issues with Gingerbread (and the update) and that they were working on getting these resolved.
Somehow I managed to clear the phone and get back to 2.1. Here's what my system says when I look at the Phone Information:
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
When I boot into the main bootloader/Recovery menu (Phone Off + Power Button + Volume Down), here's what it says:
Supersonic EVT2-2 ENG S-OFF
HBOOT-0.76.2000 (PC3610000)
If I click down to Recovery from this menu and press "Power" to enter it, NOW I get a picture of an EVO with a Red Triangle/Exclamation Point. This means I have to take my battery out and restart the phone.
Also, the OTA SimpleRoot procedure doesn't seem to work on the phone either. When I originally set it back, the procedure worked. Now it just goes through the motions on the computer but nothing happens with the phone (rebooting, skating Androids, etc.)
All I want to do is basically put it back 2.2 and re-run Baked Snack 1.7 which was giving me NO issues.
If someone could help me with this issue, I would be very grateful.

Well you have a simple fix. The error you got with the triangle and red ! is you booting into recovery, but no recovery is loaded [stock recovery]. Head over to the development section, and download the recovery of your choice. Personally I recommend in order: twrp [team win recovery project] , amon ra 2.3, cwm 3.0+. After you have your recovery installed, boot back into recovery and flash your baked snack rom. Also, don't manually take an OTA of 2.3.3 as it can't be rooted. if you want to try a gingerbread rom, simply download CM7, evervolv, deck's, ect rom and flash it like any other rom. Just backup your previous rom before flashing so you can go back.

Basically amon ra, but better. it has some additional options, such as the option to automatically reboot after a successful flash [good for doing a single flash, but if you're doing multiple, checked it at the last flash.] You have the option to compress backups to save space, though it takes a little bit longer, and they have some built in skins you can change at will. And MOAR.

I tried rooting using this method:
http://www.androidcentral.com/evo-4g-root-instructions
I put the PC36IMG on the root of my SD card and let the phone update in bootloader. It seemed to work fine, updated, rebooted the phone, etc.
Then I downloaded ROM Manager so I could let Clockwork install and then install Amon Ra....when ROM Manager tried installing Clockwork, it gave me the following message: "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"
It also will not let me flash an alternate recovery. I have the file "recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img" on the root of my SD card right now.
What does this mean? Does this mean I'm not rooted? Or some other issue? I remember eons ago when I tried using this program I got the same message but I don't remember how I got around it. (obviously I did though)
Is there a different way I should install it?

That's a bit outdated; use unrevoked. I've already done the linking for you.
1. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install <- Download and install the modified hboot drivers, follow the instructions.
2. On your phone, enable usb debugging from the applications > development, in settings
3. Connect your phone to your pc via usb cable, leave it on the home screen, no apps should be running; restart the phone just to be sure.
4. http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/windows_hboot_driver_install <- download and run unrevoked
It'll take 3-5 minutes and reboot about 2 times, don't touch in the process, it'll say done at the end. Also, this will only work if on 2.2 still. if on 2.3.3, you're outta luck.

Okay, forget Rom Manager, forget "rooting" your phone - at least according to the normal use of the word.
Delete any PC36IMG files you may have on your SD card, then download this one of Amon Ra 2.3: http://db.tt/WP0beNa
Don't rename it, don't extract it... just put it on the root of your SD card. Then download whatever rom you want to use. Put it on the root of your SD card or in a folder that you'll remember. Amon Ra (and possibly other recoveries) can flash zips that are inside of folders. Just be sure that you know where it is because you'll need to navigate to it in recovery.
Then boot into the bootloader and let it flash the way you've done with other PC36IMG files. When it asks you to reboot just decline and then select recovery. I would make a backup just in case, then flash your rom.

OK, I forgot to mention this earlier...last time I was stuck in the Boot Sequence where it kept looping the Sprint and 4G logo....now that I'm rooted using plainjane's method (thank you) I'm stuck with the same thing.
I flashed the recovery, then flashed the Baked Snack ROM....now I'm in the Baked Snack bootload section....and it just keeps looping.
Is this an issue with my system that can be resolved?

EDIT: So weird. I went back into Recovery and wiped everything and set the phone back to original condition...and voila, Baked Snack comes up as the ROM! So now it appears it's for the most part back to normal and back to where I wanted it....thank you guys again.
Now can anyone point me in the direction of the latest radios, etc. that I can download and flash?
And why would it be giving me those looping problems, and then go back to normal when I cleared/wiped everything?
I mean, I'm happy this happened but I don't want the same things happening if I decide to flash another ROM at some point.

[Q] I Can't Boot Into Recovery

I successfully rooted my phone a few days ago using the Revolutionary method and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery without a problem. Then I flashed CyanogenMod 7.1.0 again without a problem. I noticed my gps has been having an issue detecting my location so I figured I should flash the nandroid for my stock rooted android 2.3.3 rom and see if the issue still exists. My main problem is that I can't boot into recovery. Apparently I have the latest version of Clockwork. I try to boot into recovery using different methods and I keep ending up at the white screen that says 'Revolutionary' in pink at the top with the 3 skateboarding androids at the bottom. I try to get to recovery from that screen also still with no success. It just reboots into that screen. I was thinking I may have to use the ruu to unroot my Evo (I rather find an alternative solution). How can I regain my ability to boot into recovery? Any help would be much appreciated...

If grab the pc36img for amon_ra, throw it in the root of your SD, using a card reader in a computer, get into hboot and let it install. Then try to get into recovery. F clockwork anyway.....90% of the peeps around here having problems are running that recovery

Turn off your phone,then when turning it on hold the volume rocker in the down position,you will then boot into hboot settings,hboot will automatically check for the update file(PC36IMG)after its done,scroll to recovery and enter that way,if you still cant get into recovery,you will need to download and reinstall the latest revolutionary root tool,i recommend using "TeamWin Recovery Project" i've never had a problem with it.

Just to let you know, guys, TWRP v2 is out! I'll post the link to Amon Ra. You can find the link to TWRP 2 in my sig.

I was actually going to go the amon ra route because i was familiar with it while I had a HTC Hero. But TWRP v2 caught my attention and I decided to go that route. So far so good as far as I can tell. I made a nandroid backup. Thanks. Any tips or info I should know about using TWRP?
And 1 more thing. I have a nandroid backup from when I had clockwork recovery. I should still be able to flash that back up right?

Nope you can't flash your CWM backup since your on TWRP. You would have to flash back to the version of CWM that you made the backup with

Man that sucks. I need to be able to access that particular nandroid. Thats my stock backup right after I rooted my phone. Ok so I can flash back to clockwork, restore my nandroid, then go back to TWRP and make a backup compatible with TWRP?

How can I figure out the version though? clockwork installed on my phone right after I rooted my phone via the revolutionary method. I did this about 2 weeks ago. Im guessing i have to go through rom manager, but this was part of the issue to begin with

Clockworkmod.com . Also I believe revolutionary gives you the latest version so just flash the latest CWM for the evo4g

I installed a new recovery after i installed revolution,because i also had recovery issues.The version should be at the top of the recovery screen.I didnt like rom manager too much,for some reason it gives me problems.

They say that this version of Amon can be used to restore clockwork backups. I haven't tried it with clockwork myself because I avoids clockworkmod.

Thanks for the help everyone. Everything is gravy now. I'm happy with TWRP. I do have a question for making a backup. By default in TWRP, the 1st 3 boxes are checked up for when attempting to make a backup. Do any of you guys ever check the other boxes (Recovery, cache, .android_secure) and if so, why? Also, when you attempt to wipe before restoring, which items do you guys wipe? Any other tips or suggestions about this recovery would appreciated too.

I backup everything except cache.
