Status 7 in recovery, help please. [solved] - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Howdy, I need some help, that I obviously can't fix myself. I did some looking and apparently found that the status 7 is when the md5 sum of the phone and the file don't match. Currentlly using CM7 Nightly 39, tried flashing 40, and got the status 7 update; never have had a problem flashing.
I tried re-downloading the file from the CM mirror network, no dice. I also tried re-flashing amon_ra 2.3 recovery, no dice. I can still use my phone perfectly fine. My next guess would be to try switching to clockwork, attempt to flash, then flash amon_ra [doing now].
If anyone has any ideas, I'd great appreciate it.

I think I've narrowed it down to the actual night 40 file, as nightly 39 still flashes without a problem. Any help is still appreciated.

I haven't downloaded that nightly yet, but once im awake in a little bit Ill download and see if I have any issues with it. Although Im not on the same version of recovery at the moment. Have you tried flashing some other files, even more than just nightly 39, to see if it happens with anything else. Did you try downloading the nightly 40 again?
Perhaps its a bad download?

I didn't hear about it, nothing came up on the search. I figured it was the file cuz I can install other roms. But I still wanted to check, and its only like 3 hours old. But thanks man.

Wanna give it one more shot? #40 nightly build had the cwm commit that could be causing problems for some. Koush reversed the commit.
This is #40 w/o that one commit for clockworkmod.

Are you sure that's what that error means? I have RA's recovery, the one with the signature checking off, and still got the same error. Although, I suppose sig checking and md5 are not quite the same thing.

You can try updating your profile and prl under system updates.Sometimes they get lost when you flash a new build.You should also check and make sure you're running the newest radio,baseband should be 2.15.00.7.28.

I've looked all over,no dice.Best advice I can give you is to try and fix it by wiping everything and reinstalling the ROM.

[EDIT] FIXED: I called sprint to see if there was anything on their side, knowing that they'd deny anything. Got the standard tech runaround (remove battery etc) and oddly enough, the removal (1min) of the battery did the trick. I can now see signal bars and have 3g back. Sigh
[/EDIT]
this seems oddly similar to what i'm experiencing. my signal cuts in and out from 4/6 bars to none with an X. I had this issue on the latest fresh, CM6, and now the latest Baked snack.
I don't have working data at all (except for wifi). Have reflashed and rebooted multiple times to no avail.

[Q] I cant get past splash screen.

I was running fresh as my rom. I then wanted to try Synergy as my new ROM. It installs, but when i reboot, it will just stay lock on the "HTC Evo 4G" splash screen.
I even try to reload the fresh rom and others as well, but nothing. I can get into the recovery screen fine, but nothing wants to work once i install a rom and reboot. please help and thanks in advance.

Make sure you're using amon_ra recovery as clockwork doesn't play well with synergy. Also make sure to wipe everything 3x.

OK i installed amon_ra recivery and that worked fine. I also wipe everything 3x as you said; however, when i try to install the rom, it installs. When i reboot it, it will stay stuck on the splash screen.
If you're trying to install Synergy RC2 Godmode, you might want to try just regular Synergy RC2, the Godmode version has been hit and miss for a few people.
I haven't been following the Synergy thread for a few weeks, but last I DID read, didn't the Godmode version supposedly take like 45 mins to boot or something like that?

I would leave it for 20 min every time i try it. I also try different roms, and they still do the same thing and get lock on the splash screen.
My brother has a Evo also and his took 5 min to get out of the splash screen.

UPDATE****
OMG it is working now!!!! however i am using Fresh. Why wont Synergy work?? any ideas?
I don't know, but, tbh, try MikG. It's really almost the same thing as Synergy. Very few real differences and I had better performance with MikG than I did Synergy

As for synergy and other 3.0 roms, it can go up to 8 minutes on the splash screen, due to the size of the rom and re-building the cache.

New CWM Recovery 5.0.0.1

The new clockwordmod recovery 5.0.0.1 is up in ROM Manager. Be sure to update to the latest app before flashing. (just to be safe)
Is anyone else having trouble backing up after updating? It just hangs at Backing up System.
Not trying to be "that guy", but this was roughly 6 threads down from yours: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242433
I am curious to hear how it is running though.

Wouldn't worry about it, happens to everyone. I miss stuff searching all the time lol.
Okay, I just flashed 5.0.0.8 I didn't even get to know 5.0.0.1!
I'll let you guys know if my phone bricks! Hah!
Just updated to 5.0.1.0 this morning, and ran a backup/restore no problem. I did initially have issues going from v3.0.0.8 to v5.0.0.1, but after three times of erasing/reflashing recovery, backups worked again.
Nice! I just finally got 5.0.0.1 to flash last night. It took me quite a few tries to make it work.
I didn't realize there was a 5.0.1.0. Updating now.
annnd... it worked right off. Excellent!
I flash it 2 days ago and is sweetness

CM9 won't boot on my Epic4G =(

Ok to start off.. I'm not totally new to MTD.. Ive been learning. Anyhow I'm currently running CM7 Nightly 39 perfectly. When I would go to flash CM9 My phone never boots it just boot-loops twice and boots back into CWM That boot logo doesn't even come up -.-
Also Yes I have odined back to stock.. I tried to do it with EC05 - EI22 - EL30 Nothing same result. Yes I also used victory_8G_100528 In the PIT and put SPH-D700-EC05-8gb-REL.tar in the PDA and unchecked FRESET or whatever and made sure repartition was check and reboot. I have even rooted my stocked then tried to flash CM9 still boot-loop 2 times no logo then back into CWM... my clockwork mod im using is [RECOVERY] ClockworkMod 5.0.2.7
If anyone can possibly help me with this id be so thankful. Dont forget I have never had any other rom ever act like this. all 50+ other roms ive flased have always worked first time around.. well not 50 but 20+ lol! =D Thank to everyone who does read this.
EDIT:
Yes I have wiped data and both caches in CWM and checked the md5 over 10+ times I have re downloaded this so many times.
Kkthnxbye
Redownload and check the md5sum it could have been an improper download and when you flash you wiped your data cache and dalvik
To check md5's if you have es file explorer you can hold the file and go to properites and hit check and check md5 and hit run and it will give you the whole md5 and you can compare to the md5 sum they provide usually ...

Aw... you'll have to install the android sdk and have adb shell on your pc and have usb debugging on but you could run a logcat and have a dev read it and see if he can find the issue I don't know how to work any of these nor where to find them if you ask a dev I'm sure he would gladly respond with instructions.

[Q] Toroplus vs. Stock

Ok, here's a head scratcher (but then again, I have lice lol). Anyhow, Im having problems with my "new" SPH-L700. My last Sprint Gnex ate itself, and now Im not sure Im pretty safe in assuming Im on Stock. But Im not sure why the Toroplus ROMs I download, seem to not want to install. The only thing that DID stick was I corrected the radios as when it was given to me, it had two different radios so Im on 4.2.1 GA02 and they both match now. Im fully rooted (confirmed by Root Checker Pro) reset, and everytime Ive tried to install any ROMs they send my poor little andy on his back with a mean old red triangle coming out his poor belly. and the info tells me that the file is bad. Ive tried this with at least 3-4 ROMS and it's the same result.
Any and all help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Black out your IMEI. Or just delete the status screenshot; it's unnecessary. Are you using a custom recovery? What recovery and what version? What ROMs are you trying to flash? If you unzip the ROM what happens? Do any have md5sums?

Thank you for the info. I think it's done.
Im using CWM v. 6.0.3.6
Ive tried the new PAC-MAN 4.3, codename Android, Carbon & AOKP the closest thing I can come across that's close to an mdnsnd found that in AOKP and Carbon. Ive since deleted codename and Carbon Is there any other info you need? Im not a developer or anything. Never really had many problems once I got the hang of it. Usually I can figure it out, but this has gotten me conf*ckulated
Thanks,
Ridge
Oh yeah, sorry, when I try to install it, I get a bunch of mumbo jumbo that basically says its a (bad) file and it aborts the install.
Unzip one of the ROMs. What do you see? Folders? Files?
By md5sum I mean, do the ROM devs provide a md5sum? The purpose is to hash your downloaded copy and make sure it matches the dev's version.
I'm asking both questions to figure out whether the downloads are corrupt.

Im sorry I didnt get back to you sooner, I fell asleep. I cant rest til I know my baby (yes, I said it LOL), is all squared away. So usually I just pass out from exhaustion.
Anyway, when I try to install any of those ROMS i get this:
Finding update package...
Opening update package..
E: can't open /sdcard/o/then the name of the rom.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Then that's all she wrote. Im SO glad I remembered to do a backup before I started messing with my phone THIS time. (I forget a lot of times).
Ive checked all three of my ROMS, and I dont find any md5sums in any of them. It's very strange that either my computer would either corrupt or download 3 ROMS that I feel are usually pretty reliable. I DO however, have a "hash" .txt file in my phone's program. Might that be the trouble? Or is that supposed to be there when I root? Crazy SH*T man. I dunno. I thank you SO very much for all your help. This is quite frustrating. What's a dummy to do? LOL. If I came off snappy to you in my last post, it wasnt meant to be that way. I was just wondering if there was anymore info i could help you with. Im not so good with words sometimes, and I come off as an ass. I AM very appreciated of all your time and help. Doesnt seem like anyone in here really likes to help, and I get a bit cranky when I ask a question in a thread in here and I get made fun of instead of getting any help. So I really am glad for all your time and effort
Thanks so very much,
Ridge
P.S. I always forget all youve asked me... When Ive unzipped all the ROMs, I have folders that have TONS of files in them.

I've done that 3 times so now this time I get my send dates telling me that I sent stuff on the 31st of December 1969. I don't get it. I am in stock right now. Maybe I should just Odin toroplus instead of just staying in stock? Im just going nutso here, trying everything I can think of starting over from scratch every time. Eesh! But PLEASE keep the suggestions coming, hoping to get this damn thing done right. Soto tallys point in time I'm ready to duct tape this baby to the rear tire of my bike and do donuts on it at about 75 mph for an hour or so. LOL! :banghead: If anyone has ANY ideas, I'm totally open to try anything.
