It doesnt say that in Amon Ra. I had the same "problem" and wasnt sure on my first radio-flash if it was a good idea to reboot, because everyone kept telling me, that I mustn't touch the phone until its finished - but Amon RA never actually tells you that it finished a radio flash, it just stops in recovery, where you have to hit 'reboot'. (I always wait another 2 mins or so after clearing cache is done, just to be save)

ususally it will have an information that the flashing has completed than it would finish the installation when you hit the reboot now menu

if u've pressed "reboot system now" in recovery, just waiting for reboot, it's ok.

Lost Superuser access when updating to CM7-RC4. Please help!

Ok here's the scenerio:
I have a rooted myTouch 3g Slide with S-On still (it was my first rooting endeavor, and didn't know about S-off until rooting my vision). I had CM7-RC3 before flashing to RC4 and superuser worked fine, I was also able to run root only apps. I then had a problem with CPU Tuner keeping the phone on edge only network that I solved by doing a complete data/dalvik/battery stat wipe and factory reset.
When that was all done I attempted to install busybox and it said my device was not rooted. I went to superuser which tried and failed to update the binary, but installed the updated binary as a zip on my sd card. I went into recovery and tried to install the zip but intallation was aborted - it said the file was bad.
My question is how do I fix this, and do I need to reroot, and in the process get s-off? Please help!

I know you said you wiped, but do it again. I had a spell of superuser going bad and having to wipe and do fresh installs

I have wiped five times now, whenever I try to run anything requiring root it says "Superuser bianry not detected, your device is not rooted". Any other ideas or am I hosed?

Try taking rc4 to the latest android kitchen and redoing superuser. They have a patched superuser

After much flashing and frustration, I finally got superuser working when I flashed cm7.0.0 after wiping data/dalvik/cache. Thank you for your help

[Q] My Evo 4G won't flash newest radio update

I have the EODv2 Rom and I've been trying to flash the newest radio update EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02 and it's not working. Do I need to wipe anything before flashing? The file is in the root of my sd card but for some reason my phone stays on 2.15.00.11.19 after I flash. If anyone can help that would be great. Thanks

Use Amon Ra recovery if you're using clockwork.

No actually its from this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
I actually just scrolled through the thread and it said it doesn't work with Clockwork Mod 3.0.0 but it will work with amon_ra recovery but when I installed that from the market it wouldn't work. It says you can only use this feature with VaelPak (which is the only app for the results when I searched amon_ra in the market) and is what I downloaded. It also says if you are running Vaelpak you did not allow settings root when it prompted and to purchase Rapid Reboot from the market (which I did also). So when I tried to reboot into recovery from this Rapid Reboot app (which I had to pay for) it still boots me into Clockwork Mod! UGH! some of this stuff is so frustrating!

You can install Amon Ra in hboot. Go to their webpage for instructions. Clockwork fails more than it succeeds besides downloading roms. If you flash new radios, Wimax, etc with clockwork it won't work. Learn to flash manually and with both recoveries to achieve optimum results. Here's a link for the newest radios:

Damn, hard day?
I don't think you'll be finding amonRA recovery in the market.
Go to his thread, and DL the pc36img version of amonRA 2.3. Then (as other poster said) drop it in root of sd card, and reboot. The file (recovery) is actually posted in 2 of the 3 threads above yours. Check the thread labeled "bootloop, no recovery".
But I would still go to amons thread to check the md5 on it (astro file explorer displays md5s if you need).
Also, if you're using CWM now, you're probably using rom manager as well. If so, I believe you can scroll to bottom (in rom manager) and select 'install alternate recovery'.
Good luck

[Q] Help! Phone stuck

Clockworkmod keeps giving me a cache recovery error and won't allow me to restore any backups, flash roms, or wipe cache. It happened to me before running stock rooted 2.3.3 and I just downloaded the stock RUU and flashed it in HBOOT. Last night I flashed CM7.1.0.1 and tiamat 1.1.4 and after it booted i rebooted into recovery to flash gapps and it booted up fine but froze after about 20 minutes. I pulled battery and it locked up on HTC boot screen. Rebooted into recovery and I got the cache recovery error again so I wiped data and redid the PG33IMG process this time with no luck. I have tried all day and it won't get past updating SPlash1
Someone please help =(
The error in clockwork 5.0.2.0
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open/cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Try pulling the battery again. Or, format the sd card.

I've probably pulled the battery around 50 lol and formatted the SD card then put only the PG32IMG on it.
I have tried everything that my phone will allow. It just will not let me install the RUU

Try this thread. It may help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...

Thanks so much for the replies, and that thread does explain the cm7 lockup I had. But my main issue now is the ruu not flashing. I have tried redownloading and placing it on different sd cards but it won't get past updating splash

This is still the same issue I believe. Did you by chance run Inc2 HD before this started?

Yes I ran it a few weeks ago then installed the stock ruu after the cache issue. Then I stayed on stock rooted then same cache problem after cm7 froze.

Yup... same issue as the other thread. Can you boot into recovery at all?

Yes I can boot into recovery and it gives me the errors in op. I can wipe data successfully but it takes ages. Wiping cache fails along with formatting cache

Franklin270h had the same issue. He said data and cache were the problem also. No one has found a surefire fix, he installed the new CM7 and he said the problem went away.
Edit: maybe you can flash new recovery and try

That's what I was thinking but I'm not sure how to get a new recovery. I can't boot the phone at all I'm using my droid 1 right now

You can flash recovery image with fastboot and adb.
You may need more advanced help than I can give. I don't know if it will solve the problem or not.

Well i've tried flashing a different recovery through a PG32IMG and fastboot and nothing is working. It won't restore backup or install CM7. It says (status 1) installation aborted.

Did the new recovery install though?

nope=( i cant get any of the recoveries to work.
I can't get anything to install via hboot

I'm out of ideas.... I would ask one of the devs. Maybe the dev for 4Ext recovery can help. He seems to answer questions and help in his thread.
Hopefully its not bricked

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

Thanks for all the help, but it actually turned out to be bricked. Fryed it, then got a new replacement from asurion. Being vveerrry cautious now

need help stuck on htc evo 4g screen

i have an evo 4g with cm 7.2 rom and tiamat sbc kernel. i wanted the original kernel so i downloaded it from this site last night and unzipped it using clockworkmod. now my phone is stuck on the htc evo 4g screen. i am new and still am unfamiliar with most of this stuff but can someone please help?
also my phone is rooted:
supersonic evt3 ship s-on
hboot-2.18.0001
microp-041f
touch panel-atmel224_16ab
radio-2.15.00.12.19
not sure if that all matters. i tried restore in clockwork recovery and it didnt change anything....still stuck.

CWM blows. Wipe cache and dalvik and flash another kernel.

thanks for the reply.
i am new. how do i do that from recovery?
i did wipe the dalvik cache. is that enough? then i tried unzipping the tiamat sbc kernel and it was still stuck.
btw....is there a better rom that supports wimax???

If possible, upgrade to a Ra based recovery. That'll make the wiping and flashing easier on your part, as far as ROM choice, I'll give you sense.
I'll just leave this here....

Smelkus FTW. Best recovery out there.
Thanks button
<--- that way-ish

RA refers to Amon Ra, another popular recovery for the EVO. CWM is known for being troublesome on the EVO, so RA-based recoveries are the way to go.

Flashing recoveries for dummies:
STEP 1: Download recovery of choice (smelkusmod ra recovery)
STEP 2: Rename the zip to "PC36IMG.zip" and move to root of the SD card
STEP 3: Boot to bootloader and follow the prompts to update recovery
STEP 4: reboot to recovery
STEP 5: Prosper!!
(If this doesn't go to plan, unzip the pc36img and check the txt file and change the mainver to 1.00.000.0, zip the file again, and repeat from the beginning)
Hope this does the trick

Tried it. Read that whole thread. What is fastboot? When I select it in recovery it doesn't seem to be the same as what everyone talks about. My recovery in clockelwork alternate recovery looks like the original and doesn't do anything special.

PM me and I'll help you sort this out once and for all when I get some free time.

Try this. Download the Smelkus recovery and place it on the root of your SD card (not in any folders). Rename the file PC36IMG.zip (make sure you don't have an extra .zip extension on the end or it won't work). Once this is done, turn the phone OFF and unplug your phone from your computer. Once the phone is OFF, hold down the volume DOWN button, then press the power button and wait for the HBOOT screen to load. If everything works as it should, you'll get a prompt asking you if you want to update. Use the appropriate keys to select YES, then wait for the update to load. When you go into HBOOT, as part of its loading process, it looks for a file on the SD card named PC36IMG.zip and when it finds it, will ask if you want to update. Also, make sure you don't have more than one file on your SD card named PC36IMG.zip, or you'll have issues. Once you've got the recovery loaded, you can re-namethe file on your SD card something like PC36IMG1.zip, to avoid any issues should you have to use HBOOT to install another PC36IMG.zip file down the road.

That's what I did but I did it all from my phone. Does that matter?

That's what I'm telling you to do. You can actually download the PC36IMG to your phone, but you'll have to move it to the root of your SD card using something like Astro File Manager. That's why most instructions say to hook your phone up to a PC and download the PC36IMG to the root of the SD card.
When you press the volume down button and power button, what happens?

I get what looks like the original recovery. I got cwm and flashed the alternate recovery. I tried shutting the phone down to bootloader and it will try to flash the img. Then it gets stuck on parsing. I changed the maniver and then it says no image when flashing and there's nothing about an update. I'm s-on.
