G2 Help - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Need help in deciphering this.
http://www.virtuousrom.com/2011/06/t-mobile-g2-users-migrating-to-desirez.html

My friend wants to install a sense 3.0 ROM on his G2. He asked me because I've already done rooting and installed ROMs. My phone is the HTC Incredible, so rooting is different and the ROMs are created differently. I can across this but got stumped on what exactly to do. I want to make sure i do it right. All help is appreciated.

That is a fairly well written guide, what stumped you?

After doing adb reboot recovery you will be back in to clockworkmod recovery.
You will get some error messages, don't worry though it's normal
You then need to do a factory reset. Then either restore your nandroid backup or flash a new rom

Assuming I will probably never use a sense based rom like unity, are there any other benefits to this other than resizing system and data partitions?

No none at all. Might as well stick with the G2 hboot and have more space to install apps.

Sweet, kinda what I thought too. Thanks for the reply! I'm too impatient for sense roms, plus I like to play a lot of emulators and a vanilla asop build always seems smoother to me, but just my preference

Sms issues

For some reason my messages keep deleting themselves for no apparent reason. I do not use handcent or any other secondary messaging service. I've checked and double checked all of my settings and i do not have it set up to automatically delete anything at any time. I'm currently using Incredibly Re-engineered v2.3.1 and Lou's #8 kernel. The problem didn't ever occur when i was using the stock rooted rom.
So does this happen after a reboot, or just something you notice after putting your phone down then coming back to it...? Odd.
Try flashing another ROM, Lou makes a great EVO based ROM called Incredible Revolution. Give that a shot just to see if it is a ROM based issue.
Its a known issue... really annoying.

It just does it at random. I've even been looking through them and its happened. Is it just the rom you think?

I have had it happen to me on EVERY 2.2 rom I've used. Its yet to happen on 2.3.2 for me.

Dang it. Alright... any temporary patch that can fix the problem until some stable gingerbread roms come out?
Nope... Just hope it doesn't happen often. I use omfgb and its stable it just doesn't have sense. Cm7 is also great.

Bit of a noob question and no reason to open a new thread, but will i lose any data on my phone's harddrive when i flash a new kernel? And should i do a complete wipe as if i was flashing a rom? Thanks alot.
Anyone? I don't want to do it until i have my facts strait.

Nope. Only full wipe when switching roms. Although if youre switching kernels like u said, if youre going from one made by 1 dev and switching to another by a diff dev i would wipe the dalvik cache under advanced in recovery
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Thanks alot, and another quick one, if i were to flash a rosie mod, would i do it just as i would flash a rom/kernel? And would I want to wipe the dalvik cache for that too?
EDIT: Man i have alot of stupid questions, but also how would i remove the old kernel... or do i not have to? lol.

sorry im new to htc evo

well I just traded my epic for evo and im woundering how to root this phone, im confused because I have hardware version 0004 and the video I saw he had 0003, and then there two different recoveries, so idk witch is more popular with roms, Any help is apperciated
Go to unrevoked.com and use unrevoked to root your device. It is simple to do and arguably, the most trusted method. If you do use the unrevoked method, it will put the Clockworkmod recovery on your device. Although clockworkmod is darn good, I suggest that you flash amon RA v2.3 as your recovery. Instructions are very easy and installation takes less than 10 seconds to complete. Just post your questions and someone will assist you as quickly as possible.

Lots of good information in the thread below, the hardware version shouldn't be an issue anymore and it seems to be split as far which recovery to use. AmonRA has been more reliable in the past and has more options while clockwork will allow you to flash ROMs through ROM Manager.

We told you it was easy...LOL....Anyway, for a sense based rom, I recommend Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS 5 and for an AOSP ron, I recommend Salvage-Mod 1.2.1. Be sure to make a nandroid backup of your current setup first to fall back on in case you don't like the roms you decide to try. After making your nandroid backup, wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card itself and then flash whatever rom you decide to try.

When I used to use the ClockworkMod recovery, I made it a habit of wiping at least twice before flashing, but with the latest amon RA recovery, I simply wipe once. Remember these unofficial rules:
Changing roms: Wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card itself.
Updating a rom with a nightly build: wipe cache & dalvik.
Changing kernels: wipe cache, dalvik & battery stats.
Anything else: wipe cache & dalvik

If you're using a sense based rom, I recommend a Netarchy kernel. I do not overclock, but many people do.You can achieve overclocking with setCPU. An. AOSP rom like Salvage-Mod has a built in setting for it.

[Q] Help Getting the right rom

Ok I have 2 Evo's being shipped out on Saturday. When they arrive I will be flashing them both to MetroPCS. I just need a little guideance on getting the correct rom.
I believe this is the rom im looking for here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=795182
IF I understand correctly, this rom is 2.3 Gingerbread based and has Cyanogenmod 7. But there is also a sense version I believe, and I HATE HTC sense ui.
What exact steps do I need to take to ensure that I Flash My EVO with a Gingerbread CM7 based Rom that will work perfectly with MetroPCS?
Everyone makes it sound so easy but I must be missing something.....Please help.
Have you rooted? It is actually very easy to flash roms. I don't believe that cynogen has sence. Not a fan of sence either I prefer asop. But once your rooted simply put the zip of the rom on your sdcard. Go to recovery wipe data, dalvic-cache and cache then flash zip from sdcard reboot and enjoy
Edit: don't know about metro.

Yes that thread seems to be roms for metro.. Cynogen is not sence. so you should be good to go. When flashing roms just make sure you wipe. Not the sdcard though. Feel free to pm if needed. And hit the thanks if I helped.

[Q] Sense 3.0 GB ROM stuck at white screen

Hey guys
I've been trying to flash Incubus's new Sense 3.0 GB ROM, and I've been having some issues...
I've done a full data/cache wipe and a dalvik cache wipe, with both CWMR 3.0.0.8 and 3.0.0.7, and all it does is boot to the white 'HTC Incredible' and it's stuck there. I've tried flashing from AOSP 2.3.3 ROMs (both Cyanogen 7, The Ultimate Droid 3, and MIUI) and the leaked Sense 1.0 ROM and still nothing.
The longest I've waited at this screen is 30 minutes. Should I try using CWMR 2.5 or what?
Thanks,
Dragonice81
Anyone? I'm very frustrated

Well that's different. I wiped 4 times before flash and 2 times after flash with CWMR 2.5 and it went to the White screen, rebooted, went back to the white screen and then to recovery. That hasn't happened. Haha

FINALLY!!!
The sense 2.1 ROM worked!!!!!
It must just be an issue with Sense 3.0
With both TMartins and the sense 3.0 rom, I pulled the battery, and reflashed, but it takes a really long time. I'm pretty sure you just need to wait and be patient.
Im going to try to flash to a 3.0 ROM from 2.1
But I'm not in a hurry. Sense 2.1 is still pretty good

Issue

I am having an issue that I find weird. I am running SR 4.2 ROM. Every time that I make a nand backup and then restore to it. I get a BootLoop. Dunno why. Anyone else have this issue?

If you have an amoled device, CMW 3.0.0.7 is said to work better, however, if your device is slcd.. they say go with 3.0.0.8. Either way, make sure your sd card has a sufficient amount of space for your nand. From my experience with CWM, it doesn't always let you know if there isn't enough space if your only short by a few kbs.
