I'm trying to update to netarchy's HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.36.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed from my current 1.17.651.1.
Here's my Software Information:
Code:
Firmware version: 2,1-update1
Baseband version: 1.36.00.04.02
Kernel version: 2.6.29-ac94cf60
Build number: 1.17.651.1 CL160858 test-keys
Software number: 1.17.651.1
Browser version: WebKit 3.1
PRI Version: 1.34_003
PRL Version: 60662
I used toastcfh's method to get full root and nand unlock. Can someone point to me to pretty stupified tutorial that will get me from where I am to where I want to go?
I've spent a couple hours scouring the forums and trying a couple different methods, but have failed miserably.
I appreciate your help!
Since you've gone through the toastfch tutorial already I assume you will know how to do the following already:
1. Boot into recovery
2. Do a nandroid backup
3. Wipe data, cache and dalvik (wiping data may not be necessary but I always do it to be safe*)
4. flash the new rom.zip file
5. Reboot
If you want to save your settings, ect I suggest doing a titanium backup before doing any of this because *YOU WILL LOSE ALL SETTINGS AND DATA (apps, ect).
you would think so, but I don't know how to flash the rom. :S
when I select "apply sdcard:update.zip" after wiping the cache and data, I get this:
"-- Install from sdcard...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted."
I copied netarchy's rom to the sdcard (with the 2 radios) and renamed it to update.zip.
Don't rename the new rom to update.zip. Leave it as the default name and flash it.

Doesn't seem to make a difference. I tried it originally with the full filename, then tried the update.zip, and now I renamed it and tried it again with the full name, but still getting the same message.
Do I need to change my recovery version? If so, how?
What recovery are you using? If you don't know, is the font blue or yellow (maybe orange - can't remember)?
Download netarchy's rom again, you shouldn't be failing the signature. And don't rename it this time. And delete any update.zip you have on the sd card.
The menu text is blue on the recovery menu.

Done. Same error.
You have clockworkmod recovery. Install amon ra recovery and try to flash your rom.
If you don't know how to install amon ra, the easiest way would be to download rom manager from the market and there should be an option to flash amon ra from the inside the app.

Cheers, mate. Will post back with results. I'm sure I screwed things up pretty good now, though. I just did the Simpleroot OTA 1.47... lol
Ok, so I still have SU, but ROM Manager keeps giving me "An error occured while attempting to run privileged commands!"
Arghh....
update: unrevoked fixed permissions.
installed ra amon, but recovery text is still blue.
Alright the easy way might not work for you. search for a guide that will get amon ra installed for you. I think that should solve your problems once you have it installed.

Got it all sorted now.
Turned out my nand unlock wasn't successful. Went back through toastcfh's past 2 and that sorted me out.
In the processing of flashing Fresh 3.1.0.1.
Will post back with the results tomorrow.
Everything looks good. Got Fresh 3.1.0.1 up and running.
Only problem is that Titanium isn't recognizing my backup files, so now I've got to figure that out.
I appreciate your help!
You did Simpleroot which is the first step in rooting..... reverting your software to a earlier method....if you go into the boodloader screen, your hboot version should say .0.76.xxx...then you need to to toast's method part 2 to obtain full root and gain super user permission, also when you do Toast part 2..it will upgrade you to the 1.47. But in the end I guess if unrevoked is working ok for you and you can flash roms...go for it. And last, you will find you may need to switch recoveries between RA and Clockworkmod...because some roms perfer one or the other.
Apparently i screwed up my evo and lost my rsa keys... I always used clockwork but now find out its no good... I just picked up my new evo, i guess i need to root and and use ra amon as my main recovery now.. I used rom manager to try it once but was a little lost...
Does anyone have a guide on ra amon? Also anyone know if i can still use the same root i used before? Which was the one click method..
Thanks
Just make sure u use amon-ra 1.8 and make a nandroid backup. It makes a backup of your good keys. Just make sure to avoid flashing radios for any reason. Your new Evo should have the latest radios(wimax and cell).
Still 8pening from my supersonic on the xda app.
If I get Rom manager and click alternate recovery will it be 1.8??
Also you mention not to flash any radios..
What about this radio?
http://geekfor.me/evo/radio/baseband-215000901/
Its supposed to go with the Fresh's Rom..
Thanks
Have you confirmed that you even need the newest radio? Are you sure its not already on the phone?
But as long as you get that first nand backup done with amonra and squirrel it away somewhere safe, you can switch back to clockwork/rom manager and use that, and flash whatever you want.
And yes, the alternate in Rom manager is the 1.8 you're looking for.

Ok cool thanks... Flashed amon 1.8 and went into recovery.. I did a naind backup.. But there was other options as well.. Like nain plus ext.

For your purposes, yes. You're looking for the wimax image in the nandroid backup folder.
Mount as a drive and copy the folder in the nandroid folder with today date onto your computer somewhere it won't get deleted. Better safe than sorry.

Ok all set.. Thanks..
Now theres no way a theme could hurt my 4g RSA keys right?
I only say that because my dad with the same phone, has the fresh 3.4 rom, the radio that they say is supposed to go with it, and that's it.
I have all the same except I put the superman theme on there.
I want to start putting this phone together, starting with the rom and theme.. Don't know about the radio deal yet..
Maybe someone can help me with that?
I don't even know how to check my radio but undersoftware info. it lists
android 2.2
baseband version 2.15.00.09.01
Kernel version 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e [email protected] #11

Software 3.29.651.5
Browser version Webkit3.1
PRI_version 1.77_003
PRL Version 60671
I know when I install the 3.4 fresh rom my software will go to something like 3.30
But what about the radio?
the information for the Fresh rom radio is here
Download: Radio Baseband 2.15.00.09.01 and PRI 1.77
Geek for Me is proud to release:
Updated Radio.img (version 2.15.00.09.01) and PRI (1.77_003) for Sprint Evo 4g
Does that mean I already have that radio?
THANKS AGAIN!

e:No Zip files found
Is there a certain place I need to put the zip file for Amon??
Or should I just reflash clockwork and use that since I already made and saved the Amon nandroid backup?
Thanks
Nevermind.. Just realized I have to put the zip file(s) on the root of the Sdcard.
THANKS EVERYONE!!
Hi all. Im having a strange problem with flashing roms. I am not new to this and have been problem free for a while. I went from fresh 3.4 to myns rls4. Then went to fresh 3.5 and tried to go back to myn from there. I use clockworkmod and recently updated to 3.0.0.0. I have tried flashing the roms in rom manager and by booting up in recovery. I was able to load a backup and am currently set up as follows:
unrevoked forever (used 3.21 before reading forever might fix this issue)
fresh 3.4
netarchy kernel
bootloader screen
supersonic evt3 ship s-off
hboot-0.97.0000
micro-041f
touch panel-atmelc03_16ac
radio-2.15.00.09.01
Heres what it says when I try to install any rom. All roms do and say the same thing.
clockworkmod recovery v3.0.0.0
installing
finding update package
opening update package
installing update...
installation aborted.
This is from flashing while in recovery using volume down and power button method. Any advice?

i think that clockwork 3.0 is causing problems
At OP: I Clockwork 3.0 appears to have some bugs. Hold on tight.
@aimbdd: You're not a mod, nor did you help at all (in answering the question or telling him what you did). You're actually FAR worse than he is. If you're not going to post something productive, please don't post.
On that note, this question should be in the Q&A section for future reference

How can i delete this thread?
I had to switch to RA to flash a new rom. I couldn't even downgrade to the clockwork recovery to 2.5. I was having the same problems as OP with Clockwork 3.0.0.0.

I had to do the same. I'm using RA as a result
Reading clockworkmods tweets it appears the new clockwork is only for the new hboot and doesn't work with the older hboots. Install amon ra 1.8 and you should be golden. You won't be able to use rom manager after you install aman ra.
First underlying issue; can't update the radio and PRI in my EVO4G. I am using the latest fresh Rom, 3.5
First tried using clockwork, the updates think they install but never show up in the software info when I check. Then I tried using the FreshUpdater, which also fails and advises me to use AmonRA.
Second issue, I can't flash the AmonRA image. First fails with the terminal emulator, tells me there is not enough space on the device (4 gb isn't enough? Yeah right). Second fail with the ROM Manager... it thinks it succeeds but when I reboot into recovery, I still have the old clockwork... yet the Rom manager continues to report AmonRA is my current recovery agent...
To eliminate solutions, I have:
Root access
Latest Rom manager, terminal emulator, AmonRA
Plenty if space available
Directories and terminal commands are all correct
Was never plugged into the PC during flash attempts
Please help me out guys lol

For Amon_Ra download this

Rename it PC36IMG.ZIP and place it on the root of your sdcard. Then boot into hboot and answer yes when prompted. Let it do its thing and select recovery after. That should do it.

I am using Myn's RLS5 as well. I have downloaded 1.77 from Calk's thread on "All Radios for Evo...", copied it over on the root folder of SD.
Then went into recovery to install zip. It installs correctly but no changes are reflected in ROM software information page.
Any help is appreciated.

How familiar are you with adb? Also what hboot version are you running?
Hboot 0.97.0000
I have never had to learn adb yet lol, but will pick it up if I have to. I am very savy with dos so adb shouldn't be that intimidating to learn. U know a good place to start 4 me?

I am in the same boat, can't install radio 09.01 or pri 1.77 on AmonRA. It goes through installation process but nothing ever shows up in the software information page.
I feel like such a cry-baby, this is probably first major snag that I have hit with all rooting/flashing things and can't even get it to update radio!!

What Rom u using? Latest fresh???
Hi..
I'm very noobie with all the rooting & roms & whatnot, but I've been reading everything I can to try and get up to speed.
One question I can't find the answer to is about the Baseband version.
my evo 4g is at 1.39 for the baseband.
I know there are newer versions out there.
I haven't installed a ROM yet, I'm still on Android 2.1
Would it be ok to update the Baseband version to the latest?
I don't plan on doing an OS ROM update until I read up on what's out there.
I have already Rooted the evo with Unrevoked.
I also do NOT have "nandroid". I have Backup/Restore. It looks like the same concept, I already did a backup and copied the image folder to my hard drive.
I'm going to be purchasing Rom Manager and Titanium Backup Pro in a few days and see what those are all about.
But would it be ok to update the Baseband radio version and still maintain the Android 2.1os?
Thank you!
1. Yes it should be okay to update your radio.
2. If you are on clockwork, its called backuo/restore. On amon_ra he calls its nandroid, so they are the same thing.
3. You don't have to buy the pro on either of them, especially rom manager. The premium just allows you to download roms straight from the app. On titanium, the pro restores all your apps at once, instead of manually.
4. See number 1.
Got a baseband/radio question myself and didn't exactly think creating another thread was necessary:
I'm currently on 2.15.00.09.01. Would I need to wipe my phone completely before flashing a newer baseband version or can I just nand and then flash the new baseband?
