I'm a noob, so I hope this isn't a dumb question. I rooted for first time yesterday (full root) and am running EVOLutionV9. I installed Rom Manager, but I get an error everytime I try to flash clockworkmod. I was able to flash RA Recovery just fine, but clockworkmod doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks.
FYI to anyone else having this problem. It doesn't work on 3G, but worked first time on wifi.
Am trying to backup my current ROM using clockworkMOD 3.2.2, on my Huawei IDEOS U8150 but everytime i try to backup i get message unable to mount /datadata, partition /cust couldnt be mounted. As a result, am unable to restore since i keep getting MD5 mismatch message.
Please help.
1) Don't use ROM Manager
2) Amon Ra is better, so go with it....

Agreed on both points. Especially about ROM Manager. To flash ROMS boot into recovery and manually flash it. Gives you much more control over the process

The important thing is that you have a recovery and arguably, amon_RA is the better of the two. Is there a specific reason why you want to use ClockworkMod? If it is to be used in conjunction with ROM Manager, don't sweat it. It is far too easy to flash from within recovery and, besides, if you mess something up, believe me, ROM Manager wont be able to help you. You will have to go directly into recovery via the bootloader. Anyway, since you already have amon_RA installed, boot into it and take some time to peruse its simple and common sense menu system. You will gain a wealth of knowledge by doing so.

Hey guys I have been reading about this for the last 3 hours or so and I just want to make sure I have everything figured out before I start this practice. Please check over what I have lined up and let me know if you have any recommendations.

From there I decided that Universal Auto Root was the best choice for me. Is this correct?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
I am currently downloading the RUU and AutoRoot v2.0 as suggested by the instructions on the thread above. The part that is tripping me up is what to do about a ROM. From what I can tell the AutoRoot puts on the Sprint Lovers ROM. I have a fair amount of experience with ADW and LP so I'm not set on using the Sense UI. However if I do use Sense I think I would like to use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883026 It seems to be Sense minus the bull****. I don't know how to use AutoRoot with a different ROM. If anyone could help me there that would be amazing!
Also, if anyone recommends rooting a different way or using a different ROM please let me know or if someone can link me to go instructions about flashing ROMs etc.
Thank you and I apologize for asking something that has probably already been asked. I am just trying to get the most updated responses to ensure this goes well.
Just go to www.unrevoked.com and chose your phone. Download the reflash file and the usb driver. Follow the instructions of how to install rhe usb driver. Run the reflash file and it will do the rest. Good hunting.....

So do the unrevoked3 and then the unrevoked forever? Do I need to remove HTC Sync or anything?
Yes. Make sure that HTC sync is not installed!!! and just used unrevoke forever and have HBOOT drivers installed Prier to rooting. GOOD LUCK
How do I get the HBOOT drivers installed? So nothing to do with unrevoked3? Should I format my SD card beforehand just to be safe as well? Sorry for so many questions.

Ok well I never moved the unrevoked-forever.zip to my SD Card. Was I supposed to? Unrevoked3 flash tool or whatever ran and now my phone reads S-Off which is the goal. Now what do I do? Should I do the backups suggested here (RSA keys and nandroid)? Should I try to flash a ROM? Any suggested ROMs? How do I go about flashing a ROM? Move it to SD Card and go into recovery but then what?
Don't put unrevoke on your sd card. You have to do it on your PC. PLEASE MAKE A NANDROID!!! I CAN STRESS THAT ENOUGH!!! As far as Rom's try Myn's, is the best Rom right now.

If you have S-OFF you are rooted, now you just need to decide if you want to use a custom ROM or keep the stock one.
i'm not sure you absolutely get rooting. once you are rooted, you can SWITCH roms easily and safely. but, in order to do this, you need to install a custom recovery and a rooted rom. in the earlier days, devs would compile rooted roms from scratch, but sprint lovers is just a rooted rom with minor improvements. just root and then change roms.
Alright I rooted it successfully, flashed a ROM successfully, and then tried it out. Now I would like to try another one. I put the new ROM on the SDCard and now I am wondering what I have to wipe in clockwork recovery. I went into recovery and I have wiped cache partition, wiped data/factory reset, and wiped dalvik cache. Now do I just go ahead and "install zip from sdcard"?
Yes, going from ROM to ROM wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik and flash as normal. Should be good.
Always make backups. I advise you to change your Recovery to Amon Ra's. This will allow you to make backups of your "RSA Keys." This is important for 4G / WiMax.
Once you've changed recoveries, should you even choose to (don't HAVE to), make a backup with that one. Backups from Clockwork will not work with Amon's recovery, from what I've heard. Maybe there is a way from last I heard, but not sure. So when that's done, you can put those clockwork backups on your computer or delete them. Only after making sure you're sitting fine.
Either way, establish backups (I have a stock rooted backup, confirmed working CURRENT ROM as well as taking one before doing something drastic. JIC ) and then start flashing. Try to enjoy yourself.
edit: toss those backups somewhere safe IE computer / ext hdd etc

Hey guy also a bit of a noob here when it comes to the Evo, I rooted my incredible and it worked fine but I am worried a bit more about this phone cause its a work phone. First I was wondering does 4g work with any of the custom roms? I see that Cryogen just came out with an asop rom that seems to work with 4g but I am wondering do the sense based roms work with 4g? Also I see something about wimax keys what are they and what happens if I lose them.

4g works with all ota-based roms (minus the serious exeptions of course). rsa keys are the acutal keys that say "this phone is authorized to use the sprint 4g network". they are matched with hardware, so if you lose them, you cant ever get them back. even sprint cant. the easiest way to prevent this is to not use clockworkmod (i think its safe now) and to back up your keys. niether of these are very hard.
Ok thanks so I just use unrevoked to root the phone and then do a first time nandroid backup and I should be good to go? Then I can do S-off if I want?
Also how hard right now is it to put the phone back to stock if something strange should happen? Want to make sure I get to use my 7 buck a month insurance if I have something go wrong with the phone.
So I downloaded it and love it. But it won't let me access my recovery when my phone is off and I hold power and the down volume anymore. Any suggestions?

what recovery are you on?
I use clockwork. What happened was I thought I used mybackup pro to download all the apps but I think I just backed up the data. So I wanted to flash back to sprint lovers and use it to re back up the apk + data. Anyway, I just backed up the Fresh rom through clockwork and I'm pretty sure I can flash back to SL from there too, right?

Yes you can, I personally don't use clockwork but I think when running the 2.3 GB beta it might not work correctly with recovery thats not up to date. I use amon ra 2.3 it works for me; are you on clockwork 3.0?
I'm on the most updated one, so yes 3.0, I haven't tried amon ra yet but I've heard a lot of people prefer that over clockwork. I'm in the process of restoring my SL rom so I'll keep you updated. Thank you for the quick responses
No problem, yes I prefer amon ra myself but its the users choice. If you still can't get in recovery I'd say try it on amon ra for the fresh beta then go back to clockwork. Only thing about switching recoveries is that you can't restore backups from one recovery to another!
I've never booted up or flashed through clockwork so this was new to me. I've always done it the old fashioned way I guess. This is a lot easier. I've read a bit on the differences with amon ra and clockwork, but it's always better to get perspective from a user. So why did you chose amon ra over clockwork?

Lol well lets just leave it at personal preference. Its said that clockwork has trouble wiping dalvik/cache at times, and other random issues and since my g1 days back in 2008 I've always ran with amon ra. There's other reasons why I will NEVER run clockwork but I think ill keep those to myself lol. Wouldn't want to start drama around here

clockworkmod can be controlled by rom manager, which is helpful for noobs, and is a bit cleaner, but cant read amend scripting. amend is much easier to write, and more widely known. most flashable zips are written in amend, because it's more flexable and everything. only a few big roms are written in edify. amon-ra can read both amend and edify. so it's much easier for me and other minor/learning developers to write in amend.
I apologize, that's what I meant I was doing. I'm using Rom Manager to flash. I've had my Evo since October and just rooted it about a week ago when I got my Xoom. I'm very noobish still and still learning the programs for rooting.

You'll need to turn off fast boot in the settings. When that's on, the phone doesn't completely shut off.

I am stuck on clockword mod. I can get into recovery. I can even mount my sd and add new ROMS, just cant get them to install. Pretty new at this so how can i flash ra recovery from clockwork mod and get it to run instead of clockwork?
thanks for taking the time
Best way to flash a recovery is through the bootloader, you can find the PC36IMG needed for amon ra and instructions on how to do it in his thread here.
If you don't have a sd card reader handy and are on a PC you can do it over usb too. Just download the tools zip from the autoroot thread in my sig and you'll see a file called FlashZip. Amon ra is included with it and running that will let you install any pc36img files in the same folder as it.
Now I get a phone with a triangle and an exclamation mark. I feel like throwing this phone into the wall!!!
Wooooooosaaaaaa!
that means you are in the stock recovery and dont have unrevoked or amonra
What do I do????

sorry i didnt mean unrevoked i ment clockwork can you boot in to bootloader? if so does it say s off and if it does say s off then you need to put the amonra on ur sd card and flash it as the link says :/ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026 and id say if that doesnt work maybe download a ruu and run it then reroot lol but that should be the last thing you need to try

As ckoadiyn pointed out that's the stock recovery, you probably grabbed the wrong pc36img. All you have to do is find the right one for the recovery you want and flash it.

that will give you custom recovery and you can go here and get this

If going from one rom to another, make sure you do a full wipe before flashing the new one. Like ckoadiyn said, do a NAND back-up first in case something goes wrong.
ckoadiyn & rugedraw thanks for all you help! I'm back on Virus & it's like gravy! You guys rock!!!
Glad to see you got it figured out, man.
ok, this has gone far enough!!!!
i recently flashes from Virus' kingdom to R2R lightning 1.1 and thing were great for about 2 weeks, the i flashed the V6 script (i know you cant flash a script, just used flash for lack of better word).
A few days later i noticed dramatic slow down, & after trying everything in the book , decided to switch roms. I went for the new 3.5 port the Kingedrunny 0.2, then about an hour later, i re flashed 0.3 using the firerat method & BAM bootloop.
I've formatted, wiped , superwiped, re partitioned, but i cant ge a 3.0 rom to flash.
I've managed to get Sense 2. whatever roms to flash without a prob, and even got a sac's 7 rom to work from an old nandroiid backup, but nothing new will work.
I ultimately end up hung at the boot screen, waiting on a sign from the phone gods., & the sac's 7 back up is setup with metropcs setting (no good now that im on boost).
any help would be great,since Im going gray trying to figure this one out.
UPDATE:
I GOT IT!!!!!!!
dont know if this helped but,

For one, those are big ROMS. Are you using a partitioned SD Card with A2SD?? I'd recommend it.
sd card is partitioned, 32 swap 2gb ext 2 & 3, using 2.3 & clockwork. ive been stuck at the boot screen for 33 min & the phone is fully charged. its another post here with the same problem. ive never installed cm7 on this evo , so that cant be a factor.
Use amon ra as your recovery instead. Go download virus superwipe zip. Wipe everything. Flash the superwipe. Flash your ROM and you'll be chillin. Cm7 has nothin to do with your flashing process

ill give it a try, but i think i finally bricked it . i can only go into boot loader, ive tried flashing a ra recovery img , but thats what i think bricked it. gonna try to use a stock ruu to retore everything over & start from scratch.
That's a good idea. Run the RUU,. use Amon Ra, and you don't NEED those superwipes. Just wipe everything except SD Card in Amon Ra and you'll be fine. (And don't wipe battery stats if your battery isn't at 100%)
Still no good, but i did manage to get recovery running again. Never tried the ruu, dont wanna chance screwing up the meid since its on boost. I think ill do a nandroid backup of the rom i have running now, then try another 3.0 rom if that doesnt do it then ill bite the bullet
ok, ive come to the conclusion that i've managed to corrupt my system (it came to me in a dream). not sure how i did it, but its the only thing that makes sense. im unable to flash any rom with ANY element of sense 3.0.
the question now is how do i repair my system files & file structure without totally bricking my phone
If you ever use firerat and want to remove it, get amon RA 2.3. Drop the pcimg36.zip on the root of the SD. Reboot into hboot and load the recovery from there. It will reapply the amon RA recovery.
Firerat. Mods the recovery, so to remove it you have to start from scratch,with a new recovery install.
....wipe....flash your rom of choice...
good to know, this gave me hell. too bad you didnt tell me week and a half ago lmao
