Develop Bugs

What MOD do I use?

Hey guys, I have the latest ROOT done by Unrevoked3, it has the clockwork mod, and my phone reboots just about ever other minute.
So I talked myself into it, I'm like "Hey why not do a custom rom? Maybe Cyanogen or something?"
So I'm lost. I have no idea what mod to install. I need it to be a .img file, too, because that's what Unrevoked uses.
I don't want the stupid sprint stuff, I just want the cool, brass and glass speedy phone. What do I do?

If you have clockwork recovery just go into it and load the cm6 .zip file?

I couldn't find it on the wiki.
Link to how to "load" ?

easiest way is to buy rom manager premium from the market...you can download and install different roms within the app and if you don't like it you can just download another one, wipe, and install...you don't have to use you're pc atall.
but you have to be on clockwork recovery to be able to use rom manager..

awesome thanks. But I'll lose all my info/apps everytime I load one right?

Always remember to back up your apps and data just in case.

yes always backup your data using titanium backup, then do a nandroid backup, and always WIPE DATA, CACHE before flashing any and every rom.

Downloaded and paid for Rom Manager Premium (trying to give back to devs)
How do I do a nandroid backup, and wipe data, cache before I use Rom Manager?

nm, I see it's part of the application.

So unrevoked3 does support cm6 now? If so that makes my life ten times easier not having to redo root with simple root

Nope. Nand unlock is still required by cm like it is by many roms. Unrevoked won't get you there.

That's what I thought......i may have mis read the op's first post but wanted to clarify for myself and the op that cm 6 will not work with unrevoked

Question about AOSP roms

Every non-Aosp rom I've ever flashed (Acs, bonsai, midnight, simply aosp, viper, et..) have always ended up freezing and forcing me to remove the battery to re-boot, I've followed instructions, re-downloaded the roms etc. CM7 and MIUI, both Aosp, have never had that problem, always flashed right the first time, never had to flash twice. I guess I'm just curious if anyone can explain why aosp roms work fine (minus mms, 4g, and the other aosp bugs) and every rom based off of official releases always seem to end up failing?
Sent from my Samsung-SPH-D700 using XDA App

wrong section man, this is not development (it will be moved soon).
If you are following instructions to the point in ROM guides, I have no idea. Sorry. But more specifics on your problems would help us help you

Its because most of the non aosp roms are backing up and restoring your data. If your coming from a clean flash you have to flash the rom twice before it will boot up properly.
And yes this belongs in the q&a forum

Not to sound like an ass, but that's not entirely true. I have never had to flash non-aosp roms more than once.

Haha you're not the only one! On DK28 I had to flash twice everytime! And then for a little while on EB13. I don't know what changed though. But I havent had to do it for a longtime. Maybe it's because I never boot into stock before flashing?

It mainly jas to do with us having a crappy recovery.

I experience this to an extent as well.. w/ SRF 1.0.2 it flashes first time and works flawlessly..
What I've found is that all devices aren't created equal. Some work really well others are finicky.
What I've found that works for me is immediately after a flash, I can tell if it's gonna be wonky or work. After the flash, if it 'delays' before popping back up to the recovery menu, it's gonna fail. If the recovery menu pops up right away I'm good.
When it 'fails'.. I'll reboot system.. on the white samsung screen, pull the battery. boot back into recovery, then re-flash. boot system if it doesn't auto boot and you're good.
Not sure why it's like this, but it works for me. MY device doesn't always play nice w/ every version of every ROM and rather than whining in all of the ROM threads about why the rom sucks and I can't use it.. I've figured out a way to use them through troubleshooting and process of elimination using some of the 'fixes' that are posted in the different threads.
all Epics are not created equal. Just gotta figure out what works for yours.
EDIT: now that I think about it, (not that it's a big deal) I'm gonna go find noobnl's thread about checking for bad blocks on the ONEnand... just curious if journaling is trashing my NAND (I don't think it is, but ya never know)
EDIT: Still only 3 bad blocks. Nothing to worry about for me

That's not true. He mentioned Simply which I know for a fact doesn't backup/restore data.
1.) Odin back to EC05
2.) Re-root and Install CWM3
3.) Let it convert you to EXT4
4.) Upgrade to CWM 3.0.2.5
5.) Wipe data.
6.) Go to Advanced/Mounts and hit Format /system
7.) Flash the rom of your choice
8.) If it fails again wipe data x3 and then system x3 for good measure, try try again.
Hope that helps.
Pst make sure to use the proper section next time

Still not sure why this is in development.

[Q] Evo Root Fail

Today I tried the new method to obtain S-off and root my 2.3.3 Evo. All went fine but now my phone will only boot into the clockwork recovery tool. How can I fix my phone or get it back to normal?

Have you tried to flash a ROM?
You can try to download and flash a ROM from this site.
Also can you get to your bootloader by pressing volume down and power if so you can find an ruu to put on your sd to put you back to stock.

I tried to flash a cm7 but I got a status error 7 so I am downloading synergy now.

Make sure you wipe everything but sdcard.
Also its possible you got a bad download I also recommend using Amon ra 2.3

I tried installing Synergy but I got the following messages:
assert failed: write_raw_image_("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/Synergy-RLS1-supersonic.zip (status 7)

You might have a bad dl are you downloading from your phone on 3g.
And you should try this recovery I had nothing but problems with cwm when I first rooted and went to ra and never looked back.

You can also try flashing this before you flash a ROM it will wipe for you and don't worry it won't wipe your sdcard.

First thing first make a nandroid backup then you can download that vr-superwipe I posted but I'm not really 100% if that works in cwm recovery but when you wipe wipe everything but your sdcard well you don't really have to wipe stats but I don't even think that option is in cwm.
You should really think about switching to Amon ra 2.3 if you haven't you can even flash it from ROM Manager.

Sorry for bringing this dumb thread back to the top but I couldn't start a whole new thread for one of my stupid questions. I wanted to know if a nandroid backup backs up everything? Like, could I do a back up then wipe my entire phone of everything, install a new rom, and then go back to my old rom from loading the backup?

Quickly and reliably, I might add.
Perhaps CWM is all fixed, perhaps those problems were isolated to only the Evo4G version...but...I just cannot stop being suspicious of CWM ever since. Amon Ra FTW....though I can't wait for TWRP.

Sorry for the noobish question, but I never owned the EVO 4G so I'm not entirely certain what this does. So I'm guessing this eliminates the need to Format /system under mounts and storage, and wipe data in CWM prior to flashing a new ROM? What about the caches? Also, I guess you install this ZIP in CWM each time you want to do a wipe?
Thanks in advance.

could someone please confirm that this eliminates the need to format /system manually?
I understand that it formats data/cache/dalvik cache, but as you know, if you don't actually format /system before flashing a rom on this phone, you are asking for trouble.

Want to flash my 1st ever custom Rom (NuSense), but petrified.. Few questions???

As I said, I've never flashed a custom rom before, I DESPERATELY want to, but have a few concerns… if anybody has enough patience to help answer a couple concerns I have, it would be GREATLY Appreciated, and in advance, I apologize for being such a noob, but I'm big time OCD and just worry alot.
1.Nusense6 is what I want. I'm on the latest 4.4.2 / sense 6 stock rom , s-off, bootloader unlocked, rooted. So I have all the required firmware /radios, right?
2.It says it supports the motion gestures with the included kernel, So that means when I flash the rom, it'll flash the required kernel, right?
3. By wiping the cache, dalvik, data, and system wouldn't that also delete my nandroid-THAT I may need if something goes wrong?
4.once I flash it, once I go to re-download my apps, will all my in app purchases be restored? Or better yet, if I backup with Titanium backup, wouldn't the wipe before I flash the rom wipe my backups???
Again, sorry im such a noob, I always swore id stay just stock rooted, but the features of this rom has convinced me otherwise.. Any help/ guidance would be SO GREATLY APPRECIATED!

1. Good to go.
2. Yes, kernels are packed into boot.img's that get flashed with the Rom.
3. No. The data wipe in recovery does not touch your storage. You would have to choose wipe storage.
4. Your apps may or may not automatically restore...but they will be visible under my apps. Tibu will work perfectly if you do not wipe storage.
Happy flashing.
