i can't load the amon_ra recovery, doesn't actually work when i do it through rom manager, and i used unrevoked to root. just got my evo back from a 3 month long period of not having it (it broke and i was to lazy to take it in) i had RA before and was running cynogen 6, just rooted last night, and looked in the thread for RA Recovery and none of it is working.
all the directions didn't work for me, or i forgot how to adb and therefore can't do that. i tried terminal on the phone and everything, i really don't want to flash a rom until i do a nandroid with ra.
anyone care to help.

None are complete all still in beta mode (imo) would be best to just get a good aosp Rom and add theme gingerbread. Also cm6.1.1 is the best I have used but that's all opinion. Heard cm7 will be gingerbread and should be out soon!

I see a lot of rom threads that say you MUST update your radio to use the rom. Doing a search I also saw a lot of posts saying you can't flash radios if you used unrevoked to root your Evo. So what does this mean for those of us that used the 2.2 root guide which uses unrevoked? Do I really HAVE to update my radio to use these roms? Since I used the 2.2 guide would it be safe to unroot and then root with simple root so I can flash a new radio? Or should I just not worry about it and flash away?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Wow nothing? I tried flashing the new radio and it doesn't work. Gets aborted by clockwork. Does anyone have an answer? I've searched here and ppcgeeks and found nothing.

You can flash radios if you are s-off.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i have rooted 3 different devices using the 2.2 method, and from what i can tell, you dont *need* to flash a radio. if you do part 2 of the method, it basically loads a 2.2 rom that has Super User enabled. Im no dev, but from what i can tell, flashing the radios have to be done in 2.2 because the way the 2.2 software communicates with the radios (cell and wimax) differently, so the radio has to be updated to handle this change. using part 2 puts your radio back to the 2.15.***whatever Official sprint radios.
flashing the radios are basically for anyone coming from a 2.1 rom who hasnt been updated already.
just idle speculation....can someone else confirm this for me?

I thought using unrevoked forever put you at s-off. Do you know where I can check this? Didn't see it anywhere in clockwork recovery.
@newbie: I followed part 2 and still have 2. 05 radio. Think I should go back and flash a stock 2. 2 again to try and get the radio flashed?
Thanks for the help guys, far different from the winmo and webos hacking I'm used to.

You can check A-off by turning your phone off... then hit and hold the volume down button and hit and hold the power button still holding the volume down button.. brings you to the recovery. On top shows s-off s-on.. unrevoked forever completesbthe full root and nand.

I read up above that you are using clockwork, right? You need to use amon-ra recovery I believe to flash the radios...have you tried amon ra?
i flashed both with clockwork, when i flashed a rom i did do both the radio and wimax, don't think i even bothered to check to see if i was already up to date, but did it anyways just to be safe, had no issue with clockwork.

i normally just boot into recovery, i've only used rom manager once for flashing burnt droid rom, nothing else yet.
Does anyone know if there was a change made to ROM Manager/Clockworkmod Recovery yesterday?? I had V2.6.0.1 installed and yesterday afternoon I got a notice that Clockworkmod Recovery had been upgrade and to download the new release. It was 3.0.0.5 (RomManager Version 3.0.0.7) so I updated my recovery.
This morning I tried to install a ROM that I have installed dozens of times before using v2.6.0.1 but this time it wouldn't run because of the scripting issues within V3. I tried to find & reload V2.6.0.1 but RomManager does not list it as an alternate install at the bottom of RomManager's setting page.
Anyone else receive the update notice?
I got the update message yesterday too! I chose not to update because I knew about the issues you talked about. You can flash RA recovery, flash ROM, then go back if you need to. Or I can get you the zip if clockwork that does both versions of scripting..... Wait can't do that from the xda app....okay ill post it up when I get to my work computer...unless someone else throws it up before I do.

Guess I got beat to it but here is the zip file anyways.
CM still has an option to go to 2.5.0.7
I did not know this Sh%^t and could not restore any nands and was forced to unroot and start over. Seemed easier (for me) than pushing a recovery. I was not able to boot into anything to make the change... one would think that clockwork would play nice with older clockworks

I only use it as a temp. I think to actually install you have to use a .img file....???? Not sure on that one. Someone has the answer.

gzibell, I know this is an old thread, and I don't even have an Evo (I have a lowly Sprint Hero), I was just looking for an earlier version of clockwork than the 3.0.0.5 I'm currently using and I ran across this thread, and your post made me aware that I could flash 2.5.0.7 strictly as a temp, without losing the embedded 3.0.0.5 that I'm currently using...what an awesome idea!
So I tried it, and it works great!
Just want to say thanks for that post, friend!
I think this will be my last real "noob" question. I've done some searching, but no real clear answer.
Just how exactly do I install a ROM? I'm thinking of trying both Virtuous and Cyanogen, just want to test them first. And do I still need to use / have the goldcard I initially made to downgrade the firmware, or can I turn that into a "regular" SD card again?
PS - With Virtuous, will using something like LauncherPro slow it down? Or will it not matter?
Thanks again in advance.
EDIT: I also kinda need to update the radio, I have no mobile data on the stock 1.34 radio...lol.
I bet you could of figured this out by googling "how to flash rom on g2/dz" faster than typing this question lol. Get rom manager, flash recovery with rom manager, download rom you want from rom manager, click okay...pretty easy stuff.
Sent from my Vision using XDA Premium App
However sometimes this does not work. A manual install of whatever comes down to downloading and dropping the .zip file of the ROM and whatever Google App pack into your root SD mount. Boot into recovery by Pwr+Vol Down, do a full wipe of both cache and the phone. Then Install Zip from SD card, flash the rom, then the gapps. Reboot.
Yes your back key will function in root.
Edit: When mounting your sd card onto the computer make sure USB debugging is on.
Thanks guys, I did end up figuring it out, now I'm just trying to flash my radio...there's 1 thread with goo dinstructions, but they're still not clear... eugh.
I feel more and more noob with this haha.
Well do a lot of reading before you go and install just any radio.... Make sure they are compatible. I don't want to see your next noob question be "I bricked my phone please help"

I have a ROM flashed now. Just haven't found any real concise instructions on how to flash a radio.
The problem I find with most of these guides is that they say "If you don't know this blah blah google it", rather than explaining the method and how to do it / why it is important.

I think you should get clockwork mod premium and check out the options on there, it will basically download the rom for you and complete all the necessary steps to have a working install. I've been flashing roms since the G1 in 2008 and I still have some small issues here and there when doing it manually but if you want a safe bet, go with the clockwork mod app :]

When I run Cyanogen internet is fine. But on Virtuous the Internet will not work. That is why lol.
hey guys quick question. I have my Evo with a rooted ROM on there right now. I believe its Kingdom 3D or something along those lines. I just purchased an Evo 3D and want to sell this Evo as is rooted and all. I tried punching in the ##2382# or whatever the code is to get into the settings to see if it would work so when the person that buys it wont have problems with sprint on the phone and it didnt work. Is there anyway to activate a rooted phone if the ## doesnt work over the phone? I'd hate to go back to stock.
They would have to flash another ROM if ##3282# didn't work.
Leave the thing S-Off and flash a custom 2.2/3 ROM, something not based on the Shift. For example, Sprint Lovers or Azrael or SNS or Warm 2.2.
Oh, and flash AmonRa please. Don't let the person start out with ROM Manager / ClockworkMod

Why? You are selling the phone. The easiest way to do this is to just unroot and return to stock. Its way easier than trying to explain what a rooted phone is to the buyer, and explaining all the problems and bugs that come along with rooting. Plus, if that person would take the phone into sprint to activate it, THEY would get in trouble for bringing in a rooted phone.
How much are you asking for your phone?
I'm gonna sell it for $100. Front camera for some reason just stopped working. I have also an extended battery on it (Not Seido).

Rom Manager is an app. Clockwork Mod and AmonRa are both recoveries. People are pretty much split 50/50 on which is the best, I personally only use clockwork, I have never had a problem with it.

No, clockwork and Amonra are both recoveries. Completely separate from a rom and apps. Recoveries are used to flash roms, but they are not part of roms.
Rom Manager is an app that lets you USE the recovery, without actually booting into the recovery yourself. So Rom Manager uses recoveries, but it's not part of the recovery.

I would think it would be best to flash back to stock on this phone, and sell it that way. Let the user root/flash after they activate it.

HI. I AM FAIRLY NEW TO THE ROM FLASHING SCENE. HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS AT FLASHING ROMS. THEN I THINK I STEPED OUT OF BOUND AND BEGAN TO TRY FLASHING NEW KERNELS.

Are you using the newest HBOOT from HTC? I heard that you can't flash kernels on it...
Maybe the .zip didn't download completely. What kernel did you try to flash, can you even access recovery?
HBOOT 6.16.1002. i was flashing a tiamat kernel. didnt like it and when i tried another one is when it happened. not sure if i did all the wipes. was late and was getting tired
by the way iwas running cynogen mod 7.1 rooted with revolutionary. when i flashed a few kernals some wouldnt work so i tried ra recoery and they installed. i then installed TWOP RECOVERY. TRIED TO INSTAL A MIK ROM AND THATS THE FIRST TIME I GOT THE BOOTLOOP AND IT WAS LIKE THAT EVERYSINCE

well tiamat will not work on any mik rom that i know of because (all?) mik roms are sense roms. if its a sense rom then you need a sense kernel. aosp rom needs aosp kernel. go into recovery and flash a sense kernel. that should fix your bootloop
Well im guessing that was the problem then. Well at least i know the source of the problem. Now can it be fixed. Can you give me a sense kernal to try out
