Hey guys I am a rooted rookie, I have a couple of questions for you guys. First I have just switched over from CM6 over to Fresh EVO 3.4 and have some questions. First question is if I can get the browser from CM6 onto my fresh rom with out being a android genieus? (aka idiot proof way aka click and done) Also to utilize fresh updater I went from clockwork recovery to amon and was wondering if I was able to restore the clock work nandroid using the amon recovery system to go back to CM6 without having to start fresh in CM6? I had tried searchin into both of these questions and came up disapointed
Thanks in advance,
Joe
So no answers on this one guys?
Not sure about your first question but you can't restore back ups from a different recovery. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. Also I have fresh 3.4 and use clockwork mod recovery and fresh updater works just fine for me. I used it to update from the 3.3 build.
I'm sorry. I just rememberd that I couldn't use the updater with cwm. I dl the update and manually went into recovery and flashed it. Again sorry I got ahead of myself.
On the second question...you can flash back to clockwork recovery and restore nand backup then reload amon to create a new cm back up. Amon and clockwork back ups are not interchangable.

Hey guys thanks for your advice, sorry I'm late at responding, been busy with school, anyways I'm interested if anyone knows how to get the cm6 browser on my fresh rom. By the way how is damage control roms?
no suggestions about getting the CM6 web browser on fresh-evo rom?

Hey all, so here's my situation. I've been flashing Myn's ROMS for the past month. Recently I noticed my phone going into random rebootes, especially when I start browsing the net or market. I noticed that I was running low on space on my SD card so I started removing some stuff I didn't need anymore. However, in the process I accidentally deleted the folder that contained my NAND backup when I first rooted my phone. Now, every time that I boot into recovery RA, and do a full wipe/factory reset, it only deletes my data and keeps me on Myn's latest ROM. I'm trying to go back to STOCK root 3.30.651.3 so I can start over. Can someone point me to a stock ROM that I can download and flash? What are my best options here? Thanks in advance!!

You can easily search through the Dev thread...... here is one you can flash. HTH.
I use Steelh's rom when I switch to a stock rom., it is deodexed and has a couple extras, other than its stock give it a shot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743781
Thank you for the replies. I assume I can flash these just like any other ROM? Also, once I go to one of the stock roms, I'm going to do a full wipe and flash Myns ROM. Should I download the deodexed version or does it matter? Thanks, and sorry for noob questions.

I will admit that I am a noob at this so... bear with the noobness
I have rooted my 3.30 EVO and have installed the Cyanogen 6.1.2 ROM. I backed up my nandroid and wiped using the partition option and the factory option as instructed in every tutorial. Cyanogen 6.1.2 works great in itself, the problem I'm running into is trying to install any CM themes...
I've tried installing the Project_BlissHD-v2.0_EVO_CM_6.1.2_signed theme .zip for CM 6.1.2 through the recovery (not even sure if this is the right way to do it), but every time I try, it tells me that the installation is aborted.
I wipe before each try and have even completely restored a backup and reinstalled with no success.
I have searched and searched for a thread that could help, as I didn't want to have to post a question if I could avoid it. So, how to I apply specific themes through CM? Here's what I've got:
ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.2
Build 3.30.651
Used Unrevoked 3.3
And again, please forgive the noobness....
Clockwork 3.0.0.2 is only compatible with the new hboot. If you're on the old hboot, roll back to 2.5 and try it again.
I had the same problem .. I made a thread about it .. I'm about to try what BIG CHEEZE suggested
I use Amon_Ra ,myself. I would suggest using that one perhaps since it does a better job emptying the delvik cache.
Cheese, I'll try your suggestion about the rollback. I can just do that right in clockwork, correct? If that doesn't work, I'll try Jason's suggestion. Jason, which amon ra version?
And thanks to both of you!
Just use ROM Manager to roll back. You can flash Amon RA through ROM Manager as well.
You're welcome.
Use version 1.8 since I've been hearing some weird things about 1.9.
hummm
i get "An error occured while flashing your recovery" error when i tried to rollback to 2.5.1.4
I'm going to flash RA 1.8 right now.... let you know how she goes.
Ok, so here is how it went:
Flashed AmonRa 1.8 through Clockwork
Success
Booted into AmonRa recovery. Backed up a fresh nand, wiped DATA, CACHE and Delvik. Installed Cyanogen 6.1.2
Success
Cyanogen boots.
Success
Boot back into AmonRa. Repeat all the wipes. Proceed to install BlissHD pack for CM. Installs succesfully.
CM attempts to boot again, but just gets hung up on the splash screen, repeating a new splash every 3 seconds or so. Rebooted several times to see if that would help. No dice. Restored back up nand and am back to square one.
Suggestions?
It sounds like the theme you want is not gonna work with the stock cm6.1.2 kernel...my suggestion would be to try a different theme
I recommend barnacles10 ginger bread theme.

Also when you flash a theme...be patient on its first boot. Restarting during a boot that is loading files for your droid has had horrible results with my experience.
I was flashing a radio update and thought that boot loop was frozen..so I pulled the battery..restarted..and was stuck on the boot screen..then my battery dies while in the process of using hboot...and my usb cord wouldn't charge the battery..so I had to wait 7 days for a standalone battery charger to be shipped

That's kind of where I figured I was heading, jst. I'm going to play around with it tonight and I'll let you know tomorrow how it went. Might try completely different mods too... thinking about fresh.
Again, thanks a lot guys. BIG help.
The theme works great with cm 6.1.2. There are many people using it right now. I'm unsure of what could be happening here. Some phones are just picky. Mine for instance bootloops with any of myns roms as well as virus rom but I have no problems with other roms. I'm sorry my theme didn't work out for you.

Hey, it's no sweat! I've seen all the pics of your theme and I really wanted it. It's slick as all-hell, lol. And as for certain phones being picky, that's more than likely the case with my EVO. Since day one, my phone won't charge if turned off, and if I plug it in while it's off, I have to remove the battery to get it to turn on again.
Don't need to apologize to me... I should be thanking you for making something like this accessible to me!!!
You need the correct amonra recovery.

mikfroyo evo, with a side of aloysius 5 !
Alright, think I know whats up... I decided to humor a thought I had and install a fresh Cyanogen after a nand backup. I installed 6.1.2 and then installed the Gingerbread as recommended by jst. Only this time, I didn't wipe before I installed the theme. Worked like a charm. I'm going to try this with other themes too and see how it goes.

really? lol
I got it to work fine by not wiping before theme install, just mod install. t3, your theme looks awesome on my EVO. Thanks!!!
I currently have:
Fresh Evo 3.4.0.1
netarchy-toastmod-4.1.9.1 kernel
I would like to go to:
Fresh Evo 3.5.0.1
netarchy-toastmod-4.3.1 (unsure on bfs/cfs and havs/nohavs)
Looking to:
Save battery (Am using superpower and underclocking while unplugged)
OC/UC
Wifi Tether
The only reason i am paranoid is that I am still slightly new to flashing and like asking questions. (it took me a long time to work up the courage and flash what i have.) Also when i updated clockwork (to 2.5.1.2) i saw people having problems flashing new roms etc. so i didnt update anymore.
Backing up is not a problem (plan on using astro and sms backup)
Also should i use clockwork (version?) for fresh evo and RA for toast?
Again just looking for a smooth install. My phone is my baby and only source for internet..
Thank you for taking the time to read, even more if you reply and help.

I never have problems with clockwork but, I always flash from recovery and wipe catche partition and dalvik cache. You also need to upgrade to the current version of clockwork. You current version does not save you wimax keys.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
So youre saying if i update to 2.6.0.1 and ill be fine. Just wipe the cache and all that?
Any suggestion on which kernel version?
Nandroid what you have first. I also have never had problems with clockwork, RA on the other hand on 2 separate occasion caused issue I could not fix!
I forgot to mention nandroid.
I am updateing clockwork now.
I am going to try tonight and hopefully post back if all goes well. Im going with 4.3.1 bfs havs.
***EDIT***
All is well.
I guess i just wanted to hear good feedback.
And i tried clearing the cache, i waited 30-40 minutes. Still was at the White Boot screen.
Restored from nandroid and installed 3.5.0.1 w/o wiping cache. worked within 5 minutes.
Hello and sorry for the inconvenience. I'm new to rooting and updating my evo. I have 2.2 android version since i rooted my evo and i rooted it with unrevoked 3. Now i keep getting updates from my phone but cant install them because im rooted. I was wondering how can i update my evo to the latest android version which is 2. something and how can i also update the latest fota version that's 3.70.
I don't know if i need to install a new ROM or get the update online. Your help would be grateful and thanks in advance.
You have to flash updated roms to keep your phone updated...thats the only way AFAIK
Any custom rom will get rid of the update notifications, and all are based on the newest OTA by now. I think the only 2.3 gingerbread rom is the CM7 nightly, which is very stable and very nice
Before you flash a new rom you will want to make sure you have one of the custom recoveries, RA for example is what i use for my flashing.
What Radio and software are you running?
software 2.2 and what do you mean by radio, basebad or kernel
Have you checked your phone to be sure you have S- off? There is a Rom in the developers section that has the latest OTA 3.70... but I do concur with the guys above in that you need to flash a custom Rom.
Go to the market and download Rom Manager. By using unrevoked I believe you now have clockworkmod as your custom recovery. And I'm pretty sure it would b version 2.6.0.1 which is the good one. By using Rom Manager you can flash a custom Rom directly through the app. My favorite is by far Cyanogen 6.1.2. The only downside is 4g isn't currently working. But the upsides by far outway that issue.

thanks and as we speak im doing a nandroid back up and want to know out of
myn's and calk's
which one is the best and if both of them work with 4g and i wanted to know if i do a nandroid backup will all my apps and contacts be deleted?
Both are good ROMs but every time I go try out a new ROM, I always go back to Calk's. I like it best but that's just my personal opinion. Once you feel comfortable flashing try them all out. I would reccomend using titanium back up to back up all of your apps though so when you flas a new ROM you can easily recover all your apps.
thanks and will it erase all my contact when i flash a new rom?? cause i already did an nandroid backup. and i want to download calks. SO whats my next step here. does calk work with 4g since i have htc evo 4g. sorry because im an amateur and dont know that much about this
Yes your contacts will be erased but once you log back in with your google acct they will resync. Yes, Calk's Rom supports 4G.
Download Calk's format all (not necessary but just something I personally use) & install it to root of the SD card
http://www.mediafire.com/?ikylelx99c49133
Same with the ROM, DL it to SD card root
reboot into recovery (vol down & power)
Factory wipe
Wipe Dalvik
Install zip from SD Card
Calk's format all
EViO v1.8
After it's done installing the phone will appear to hang a the splash screen This is normal for a first boot after a flash just let it do it's thing. It will eventually come up, I promise.
Enjoy your new ROM
one more thing and sorry to bother you how can i make sure all my contacts are with my gmail account

by logging into gmail on your computer and checking "contacts". based on your questions, perhaps you should wait and research more before you dive into something that you can't get out of. you've been warned, just sayin. good luck though
Alright so a while back I used unrevoked on my wifes incredible and it worked just fine. she updated it recently so today I went to reroot and prep to install a new rom. Problem is it failed to get root with the newest unrevoked. Ti backup fails to get root yet mybackup gets it and so does rom manager. I'm trying to get into clockwork through the hboot menu. Maybe I'm doing something wrong by going through there..i tried to backup with cwm through rom manager and it worked (didn't till i flashed the latest recovery but still) but I'd still like to get into cwm for myself not rely on rom manager. I've yet to try to reboot into recovery that way or restore the backup I made as I am at work but regardless..any ideas? I know when things are being ridiculous with the fascinate I can just odin and go from there..is there something along those lines for the dinc? If not what should I do to root the thing..get clockwork again..and flash the new rom? Any help would be greatly appreciated guys.
Thanks!

Your best bet is starting from scratch. Unrooting, rerooting, flashing cwm. Etc.

I can get to HBOOT but from there all i can do is reboot or fast boot, I havent done the factory reset yet but i intend to try. But from hboot I want to get into cwm, or do i get into cwm recovery a different way?
Mind you I havent tried to get into it since flashing the newest cwm through rom manager (or that I remember trying or not..been a hectic past week..im losing my damn mind, grandmother passed away in Anaheim, etc, etc)
also im going to reroot and do a completely different rom, it is stock minus wonky root and launcher pro. I finally convinced the wife to let me modify it.
Ifu don't see recovery option in any hboot option. Like there's no clockwork u should by able to flash clockwork and then a Rom.ican pm you.but if unroot is your objective goto Android dev stickies there's a thread.
sent from dinc
thats the thing, I see the recovery option, but everytime I select it, it tried to find a multitude of images, says file doesnt exist on all of them (4 or 5 of them I believe) and sends me back to the main hboot screen.
Suppose that information would have been useful. Again, hectic week lol
use say u have rom manager?
yes, im wondering if I need a stock recovery image since it isnt finding the PBwhaterver.img Any idea where I can get that?
Also probably helpful, I had used unrevoked forever a while back. Im thinking I need to undo those changes and just retry everything.
Thoughts?
Edit: Downloaded a new clockwork recovery image from unrevoked forever wiki, gonna throw it on the SD card and see what happens. HOPEFULLY that will let me into cwr, if not, how do I just put everything back to stock so I can start over?
try that file. get rid of the mlti part should sayPB31IMG. also make sure no other files of the same name are on root of sd.should say update vol up yes wait reboot no see ifu got recovery got newr versions too. also new urevoked have versions without clockwork u prolly used tht one. easy fix tho
alright, gonna give it a shot when I get home in the morning. Wish me luck.
Alright flashing with rom manager and selecting reboot into recovery from there worked just fine. we are in business for now anyways lol.
