I'm really not sure what exactly you were trying to accomplish, as unrevoked provides full root. What root method were you trying to follow?
Anyways, now you need to flash a PC36IMG of a recovery image,.using the bootloader. I'd link you to one, but I'm on the Xda app. Once you get recovery flashed, you can reflash a rom of your choice.

It was the semi root one, im pretty sure cause my evo wouldnt let me run some FULL root access apps like titanium back up and such, how would i flash a recovery image? my phone is stuck at the htc evo 4g boot screen, i can get to the bootloader and it trys (everytime) to to install the PC36IMG and it doesnt work :/

What was the PC36IMG you tried to flash? And where did you try to flash it - the bootloader or recovery? You're saying that it didn't flash successfully, correct?
If all you need is your recovery back and everything is fine, you just need to flash Clockwork again. You can do this through the bootloader or by downloading Rom Manager and choosing "flash ClockworkMod Recovery".
If you want/need to flash through the bootloader, first delete the PC36IMG on your SD card then download the one of CWM that I'll link you to. Put it on the root of your SD card and power down the phone. Boot into the bootloader by holding the volume down button and power button simultaneously. It should check for the PC36IMG and ask you to update. Choose yes, then no when it asks you to reboot. Choose recovery from the menu and you should boot into ClockworkMod. If you don't need to do anything recovery related, just choose to reboot from there.

Sorry, I missed the action. I was typing on my phone and cleaning at the same time
If your phone won't boot, you'll need to wipe cache, dalvik cache and data then flash a new rom. You can try just wiping cache and dalvik then rebooting to see if that will help, but it probably won't.
EDIT: It could've been that you needed busybox and you really were fully rooted. Did the bootloader say s-off before all of this? If it did, you've been nand unlocked all along.

Ok I have the Clockwordmod working thank you, Phone still wont boot, Im guessing cause it Doesnt have a rom to boot, Idk how to install roms either sadly .
So I think I need a rom to install from zip, but idk how to get a rom thats worth trying to install, last time i tried to install it cam up with :
"Amend Scripting is no longer supported"
"Please switch to edify scripting"

-Steps into the fray-
1. Place the attached file on your sdcard, then boot into the bootloader [vol+down while phone is booting up] let it scan, the apply update., reboot, reboot into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3 You got the error cuz CWM 3.0+ doesn't support amend scripting [old], only supports edify [new].
As for a rom, I'd recommend CM7.
> http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic download a version from there
> http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/ download the gapps here
In recovery, wipe your factory/data, cache, and dalvik. Install rom, select the CM7 you downloaded, go back, wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the gapps, then reboot.

Ok Following the latest post's steps and I'm Installing cm7 now thank you people so much for the help so far, ill let you know if everything goes well.

Never a problem, were you in good hands long before I got here.

Nice Rom, Everythings back to normal and its really cool, Thank you guy's for all the help

Glad we could all help.

Before i end this lol, is there anyway for 4g on cm7?

Settings > CM Settings > Interface > Notification Power widget
scroll down to mobile data [3G], then wimax is 4G, select both [and whatever else you want] and then you can toggle it from the notification.

1. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19699565/DSP Manager.zip Extract the apk, then install on your phone- dsp manager is an equalizer, so that should help.

3. Well, you can check out themes and apps for themes/mods for CM7. I'd look into launcer pro/adw, ect, for a launcher, you can find icon packs along with wallpapers in themes and apps to get your desired look.

[Q] I know you guys get sick of helping noob but I just rooted and need help!

I have been wanting to root and try a custom rom but I was scared of brick. Anyway I finally rooted with Unrevoked 3.3 which installed Clockwork recovery also and after that I installed rom manager. When I went to do a backup of current rom it said I need to install Clockwork recovery first but its there already. I know there is guides everywhere but thats the problem not sure which to use to learn what to do before I try flashing new rom. What about kernel I really don't understand where to go from here. I am rooted and Clockwork recovery flashed but don't know where to go from here. I am not a idiot just a little guidance please! I really want learn process of installing new and restoring old roms with my Evo. How do I know what other updates need to done before using a certain rom like kernel and radio? Thanks Alot To Anyone That Can Help A Fellow Android Lover!

You try reflashing clockwork recovery?
Sent From My Evo4G Running Sense 3.0

No I just cheked to see if I could boot to recovery with vol/power buttons and seems fine Clockwork Recovery is there. So I should just let Rom Manager try to install Clockwork Recovery again? What would be my steps to installing new rom after I get rom manager to backup current rom? Thanks Alot!

Well first backup your rom and wimax keys and then go to the xda android development section and download a rom, clear cache /dalvik/ and I think its system restore something like that..I don't use cwr

I think its install from memory card and rom manager takes care of the rest....you can also dl roms from this forum on ur phone it makes it easier
Sent From My Evo4G Running Sense 3.0

First of all, if you're certain that your recovery is installed, then you need to decide what rom and what type of rom you want to install? For instance, do you want a Sense based rom (the HTC overlay that your EVO came with) or an AOSP rom (Pure Android like on the Nexus)? For a sense based rom, I suggest Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS-5. You can see photos of it as well as download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471 and for an AOSP rom, I suggest Salvage-Mod 1.2.1. It can be downloaded from here: http://www.salvage-mod.com/node/4. Make sure you download the Google Applications from the same page. Whichever you decide to flash or any others, put them on your SD card. Now shutdown your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. There will be a short pause and then a few lines of text will scroll across the screen. Afterwards, you will see a set of options. One of the options will be "recovery". By the way, look at the top of the screen and make sure it displays "S-OFF". If it displays "S-ON", you are not rooted. Anyway, select recovery. Your phone will vibrate and display a white EVO screen and then boot into recovery. Your recovery should be ClockworkMod. Go into the backup menu and select nandroid backup to make a backup of your current setup. You can always restore your device to the way it was if you don't like your new roms, mods, themes and kernels. After you've made your backup, go to the wipe menu and wipe everything except the SD card. After that, go to the flash zip menu and flash the rom you want to try. After it's finished, it should prompt you to reboot. Do so and be patient. You will appear to hang at a couple of places. Be patient. Let it finish. Be patient. Do not pull the battery. Be patient. After some time, you will see your rom's splash screen and then your new homescreen. If it is a sense based rom, go to menu-settings-system updates and select update profile after you've signed in with your Google credentials. Enjoy your new rom.

One more thing I just let Rom Manager install recovery and after that I did backup. The next step would be to dl rom and place it in sd card right? Do I need to rename file or update kernel or radio and where do I put the new rom for manager to find? Also I didn't use Unrevoked forever just 3.3 will I need to run the forever app also? I know what a noob! Man I really Thank You for helping! I am dying to try some new roms Froyo is boring. What rom what rom do you recommend? Thanks Again!

Root of card is preferred but anywhere is fine since you will have to point rom manager to it. Alot of roms come with kernels so I wouldn't sweat it. No need to rename. A good starting rom are any kingsroms insane fast and all features usually work most are still froyo but look much different than ur stock rom

Just d/l the latest version, put it on your sd card, reboot to recovery and flash it, then when you reboot to system, you'll get the prompt to go to the market and d/l each app.

You can either flash it immediately after flashing Salvage-Mod or boot into Salvage-Mod first and then press and hold the power button until the menu appear
Select reboot and then select recovery. Once you're back into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik cache and then flash the Google applications (gapps). Afterwards, reboot.

To flash gapps:
1. Download the latest gapps / the ones provided in the salvage mod thread
2. Boot into recovery.
3. After you have flashed the salvage mod rom, wipe your cache and dalvik cache, then flash the gapps zip.

[Q] Rom Manager and CWM

Hi, I have my phone unlocked via htcdev. I installed CWM by alquez, but it doesn't detect it in ROM Manager. I have tried going into recovery from rom manager, then rebooting from cwm, still nothing works. Only rebbot to recovery works in rom manager. Any solutions?

The CWM from Alquez is unofficial not supported by rom manager dev i think. The same thing was with samsung galaxy ace , don't flash recovery from manager you can get brick...

6/ Install Zip from SD and choose CM72 Nightly ZIP

So, for now, we can delete Rom Manager then?

It's non sense ROM.
I didn't like it too, so I just flashed sense rom.
Anyway, you can install any launcher you like, and use it as default one.
About google account.
That ROM doesn't have anything to do with google's apps, so you'll have to install gapps.
Find it somewhere, latest version is from 28.8.2011 I think.
It's .zip file, just flash it through recovery.

Can anybody help with CWM7 ?
I've tried to load this onto my phone but I keep failing. The app does not load. I cannot access any recovery, albeit standard or CWM. Everytime I try from the the bootloader screen and enter recovery, The phone gives me a Black Screen with a Picture and a Red Triangle in the middle and nothing else happens. I then have to reboot the phone.
Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something.
Is there a step by step guide to help make this work for me.
I have searched for a couple of days now and I cannot find anything that for me.
My phone is S-ON and Bootloader Unlocked via HTC-Devs.
Any help from you experts out there will be appreciated, even if it's just pointing me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Problem with CoolDroid Revolution v 9.0 *Help needed*

Hey I just installed CoolDroid Revolution v 9.0 and when the installation finishes it just gets stuck on the HTC screen , I installed it again, and this time it gave me an error at the HTC screen, something about android stopped working.
I had a backup so its alright , but this seems to be the best rom for HTC desire , and i really want to get it working.
And If i use an older version of Android like GB , will it have some drawbacks like not being able to install the latest gapps and/or having limited widgets?
Thanks , :fingers-crossed:
BTW if you think there is a better or more stable ROM out there, that is the "best" in your opinion then please tell me
I tried to download and install Runny ROM and there was no download link , so i looked around and managed to find it ,
I installed it and it gave me a similar error, or similar errors, right out of the boot screen it gave me alot of errors, and i had to restore a backup.
I have tried CM10.1 CM7, Supernova, MIUI (camera dosent work, cant find a fix) ,Evervolve , jellynow , oxygen and alot of other ones.
They all worked fine, I liked MIUI but the camera problem threw that idea out of the window,
Runny ROM looks like a really good ROM , no other rom looks this good, but alas I need a fix...

That's still work in progress ROM. But it boots though.
Install a stable and fully functional GB ROM. Check out the Desire index there are lots of them.

I installed it in this way:
1. Wipe everything except as card.
2. Flash superwipe twice (it will automatically reboot recovery).
3. Flash the Rom (Select custom in and then stock a2sd).
4. before any rebooting flash m2sd and select 1st and 3rd option when asked what would u like to move to sd-ext. Do not touch any other option.
5. Now reboot.
6.use root explorer and mount system to r/w and go to system/app or sd-ext/apps_s and delete and replace the HTC_IME.apk with the one in this link then set the same permissions as the other apps and reboot.
cm7r2 hboot is recommended.

Hey man, thanks for all the help, but i dont understand ,
4. before any rebooting flash m2sd and select 1st and 3rd option when asked what would u like to move to sd-ext. Do not touch any other option.
5. Now reboot.
6.use root explorer and mount system to r/w and go to system/app or sd-ext/apps_s and delete and replace the HTC_IME.apk with the one in this link then set the same permissions as the other apps and reboot.

-m2sd is a script that you should copy it to your sd card prior to installing the rom, it a zip file and you can find it in first page of cooldroid revolution v9 treat.after you install the rom you may install m2sd and choose the options which i already mentioned.
-Root explorer is an application(from market) by which you can have access to root and system files and able to replace HTC_ime.apk file.( you may do this after installation is over and after the first booting.
at the end you need a fast SD card too.
I love this rom it could the the max of desire. but I installed CM10.1 VJ Jelly Bean 4.2.1 v4.5 it is smooth and run all the options that you want except Sense 4.
good luck.

you may use camera illusion from store but you wont get high quality. stick to the same rom until some body fix sense 4 for desire. or you can use theme sense 4+ sense 4 clock+ weather on this rom as I do.

I ment to use another camera instead of stock camera on CM10.1 JB not on sense 4. other than camera this rom has no issue. you can design it like sense 4 too:
1- download and install theme sense 4.
2- download and install sense 4 clock and weather widget .
3- change transition animation to cube out.
it will be like sens 4.

Am I the only one with these bugs?

Hi,
I'm new here so please go easy on this "noob"
It was my first to unlock and root my phone, followed by flashing a stock ROM (Which is exactly why I rooted it)
I flashed this JB 4.2.2 stock build [ROM] [OTA][GSM] Android 4.2.2 JDQ39: Rooted | Galaxy Nexus > XDA for my Galaxy Nexus
Now...
I can't disable Next-word suggestions in the Language & Input -> Google Keyboard Settings
Also, I noticed a few seconds of lag when pressing the power button to unlock the phone, when viewing recent apps (via the soft-key), and when opening the Camera too
Also, when I choose the "Recent Apps" soft key.. it's as the app that's currently being used is minimised and the homescreen is shown without any icons
The Build came with Busybox pre-installed and now its gone after a day of using my phone... I literally can't find it.
I searched in the play store "BusyBox" and the result is 3 different apps with the same name!
Any Advice?

go back to recovery, format/wipe /system partition, reflash rom.
For your reference, a good app to install bb is stephen (stericsson)'s busybox installer (play store link). Obviously, it needs root.
Next time, read the stickies.

How do I get “root”?
If you are booted into a custom recovery (recoveries will be covered later), root is enabled by default. If you want root while booted into Android, you will need to place two files on your system partition: an “su” binary which grants root access, and a superuser app that manages that access. The two that are available are ChainsDD’s Superuser and Chainfire’s SuperSU. Usually these files are packaged up in a zip file that is flashable using a custom recovery, but they can be flashed manually using ADB. Both of these methods will be described below.

As you probably noticed by now, you didn't need to flash a full "custom stock ROM" to root.

Thanks for replying!
I'm totally new to this rooting &/ flashing thing, so please go easy
So, what you're saying is that I should boot into fastboot mode, wipe system partition (this will format the whole SD card right?), install the same ROM again?
I guess I'll need to install Titanium Backup to backup my apps and settings, I'll have to search for an article for the best way to do it as well..
Can I do it like this:
Open "Rom Manager", Select "Install ROM from SD Card", install it.. ???
PS: Do you have a recommendation for a better ROM, perhaps my choice of ROM wasn't correct...

You can wipe the system partition in a custom recovery (dont know if you can with stock). And yes you could flash via ROM manager but I wouldnt recommend it. I am on XenonHD 11.1 and loving it. But roms are a personal choice so there is no 'best' ROM. Just try out.

The tutorial I followed didn't mention using the ROM manager, but I had not choice.. becuase whenever I went into fastboot mode manually, it got stuck on the screen displaying Google (I waited for minutes without any luck)
How would you recommend CyanogenMod 10.1.2 against the stock 4.2.2 which I have currently?
I read these threads as well whereby they said that there is no "real" solution to the issues:

Mr., please, read the LINK i gave you! THIS ONE ->>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812959
If you read it, you'll stop thinking you need to be doing anything at this point in FASTBOOT interface! Like mrgnex says, you need to be on a custom recovery to format /system. (Have you read the link yet? By now you should know that the /system partition and the /sdcard/ (aka userdata) are 2 different things!)

For your reference, you can't erase /system in stock recovery.

Stop! THERE'S NO NEED FOR FASTBOOT HERE!

Thanks Guys for replying.
Yes, I read the info in the link, it was very helpful.
I'm still confused though.. "Fast boot" and "Recovery" are they the same thing?
I tried a "fix" mentioned by someone about using a live wallpaper such as "Water", I tried it and it's been 1/2 hour and it's really smooth compared to before...
Yes, I do have a custom recovery, actually I don't know why, but It seems I've got two according to ROM Manager.
It says I've got Clockwork Mod Recovery & TWRP.
I also tried going into recovery (Volume up + Down + Power) and it worked this time, when I select recovery, it goes into CWRM
I also did a bit of research about CyanogenMod 10.1.2 and from what I could gather it's liked by people a lot.
I'm guessing that definitely some time ahead it'll get all "laggy" again, Is there any reason according to you why I shouldn't install it compared to the stock 4.2.2 I have?

So to get things clear:
No fastboot and recovery arent the same thing.
Vol up+down+power brings you into fast boot and not recovery.
Apparently you dont have 2 custom recoverys since you booted into cwm.
Cm10 is great. But there are many great roms out there. You can start off with cm and then (if you please) look further.
I dont see any reason to not install cm10.1.2 since a whole team built and optimized it. So basically it is a better stock.
When you think your phone is slow you should look into the custom kernels. Thats a different story which I will not begin before you want to

I've decided that I will test out the Rom that I have currently (4.2.2) for a few weeks, and then flash CM.
I wanted to know one more thing, Is it bad to flash ROMs to your phone every now and then?
Because I've seen people flashing different ROMs on their phone, I don't wanna damage my phone as I want it to last as long as I can make it.
(by "Bad" I mean... does it reduce the phone's life or it's hardware's life span)

No it can't. I was a flashaholic (until I discovered XenonHD) and my phone didn't got worse. Only overclocking the CPU and gpu can affect the life of the CPU or gpu (or both XD). Just do a fresh install everytime and read the post of the ROM of your choice to see what to do to get it working optimally. If you have any problems just ask.

I'll flash CM in a week or two, as I'm on a tight schedule currently, and I also wanna note down the average battery time I get out of 4.2.2

So... since 4.3 is now out, I was thinking it'd be better for me to flash it other than anything else.
I'll most probably download the stock rom from:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#yakjujwr66v
So far I came across this thread having the steps to flash 4.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2377307
But I wanna flash it and lose my data, so that it's as fresh as it can be...
Will that work if I use "wugfresh root toolkit"?

With the stock package there is no need for a toolkit.
Hell, there's no reason for a toolkit any time.

What was I thinking...
I apologize guys... I guess I wasn't thinking straight as its past midnight here...
So just to clarify stuff so that I don't end up doing something wrong:
-> Head into Recovery Mode (with usb debugging enabled... connect usb cable to phone and pc)
-> Wipe System
-> Wipe Cache
-> Install from SD card (select .zip file)
right?
Also, I performed a backup of the applications I have via Titanium Backup, They'll work on 4.3 when I restore them right? or do you recommend downloading them from the play store again?
Sorry for being such a noob, and Thanks for your responses!

backup everything from your /sdcard to your computer, titanium backups and a nandroid
the google stock package is NOT flashable in CWM/TWRP
if you follow the GOOGLE instructions it WILL wipe your device (remember that backup you made of everything?)
alternatively you can make sure and have adb/fastboot working on your computer properly, extract all the files out of the zip (including the tar.gz located inside), and in recovery, do a factory reset, then boot to fastboot, fastboot flash system and boot ....
as for Titanium Backup, there is a work around to get it working on 4.3, but root is lacking full power.

I read online somewhere that I need to root again, but I don't wanna lose all my data/ apps I installed again...
