[Q] New update.zip for flashing custom roms?

I have been using eugene's update.zip to get into clockwork mod.(along with the engineering build) It works fine.
My problem is it contains an old version of superuser.
I had been using su-2.3.3. But every time I go into clockwork mod for anything I'm reverted back to su-2.1.
Which doesn't even work at this point, it actually breaks the app altogether, causing repeated FC.
What I've been doing is just reflashing su-2.3.3 to get back up and running, but I was wondering
is there a new update.zip for getting into clockwork mod?
Something that doesn't even have su installed.

Just remove su from that update and resign it...

OK so I removed he superuser.apk. How do I resign this? Sorry I'm a noob at this.

Personally I use ROM Manager by Clockwork in the market. Koush keeps it updated very well and there is no need to keep update.zip on your sd card with this app, it allows you to reboot directly into recovery from the app.

WOW!!
Your sooo right!! I finally gave rom manager a shot and your right this is waaayy easier.
I had considered using it but I was unsure about how it could access the recovery seeing as the MT3GS has got a weird nand thingy.
Also I'm so used to the G1 and N1's aman ra recovery's that I always looked at clockwork as being lame. But I stand corrected, I'm going to buy the pay version.

I agree, I do the same thing. I love how well it works to it's perfect for reboot recovery too, now extra steps in the process of getting to recovery. I do keep the update.zip on my sdcard just in case something goes bad I can get back in without relying on my apps loading.

[Q] Rom manager is not switching recoveries.

Any idea why ?
When i tell rom manager to install a recovery it shows as if it's doing it. But then when I reboot in to it, it's still the same (right now i have Amon)

I've seen people have this problem before. I've never used Rom Manager so I haven't experienced it, but I've helped others with the same issue.
Since you're on Amon Ra, I'm assuming you're trying to flash ClockworkMod? If so you'll need to get a PC36IMG of CWM and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into the bootloader - you can use an app to do this or you can do it manually. To do so manually, power down the phone. Then hold the volume down and power buttons at the same time until you see the bootloader. It will ask you to update, choose yes (volume up) when it asks you to update.
Ta-da! You're done.
Here's a PC36IMG of CWM, I'm not sure the exact version as it's only there if someone else needs it, but it is 3.x --

Also, out of curiosity, why are you switching?

I had to use ra for the radios update.
I had to load it manually too. I wish I could find why its not working

If you on amon_ra, I don't believe rom manager will work.

Stay on RA and flash thru recovery and learn how to use those tools. It will help you out in the long run...Some how some way

Why would you want to go from AR to CWM?? To me, that's a downgrade

Because I can batch a few zips easily....

I had that same problem but I did use the above post to go back but now I use ra its way better the only good thing about cwm is you can name your backups but I just back them up to my PC anyway and name them just incase my sd card gets fried.

You can name them on your SDCard.
Just do it like this: BDEARS-20110605-1956-mik_101_full
Notice, no spaces, and the original name still in there.

You can do that and restore them like that or do you have to delete the name first cause that would be awesome I thought it wouldn't work if you renamed it.
Also can you use any name or does it have to be the name of the ROM it is of?

You can restore it like that.
I'm pretty sure - and _ are the only acceptable non text characters in the name

[Q] HTC Evo 4G

Ok so I'm new to androids completly. Was looking to root my new phone. Let me start off by saying I'm in Japan and have the HTC Evo 4G. I was attempting to use unrevoked but seem to be stuck at how to get to the hboot. I just updated to 2.3.4 and when I power off my phone then hit volume down and power button to gain access to hboot it simply turns the phone back on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Head over the the revolutionary.io site, you should be good to go. You have to use that method to root for gingerbread on the evo.

Check this thread for rooting.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218386
And turn off fast boot in settings/applications and then try to boot into hboot I think thats where it is I'm not sure I haven't been on sense in a while I'm not even sure if a stock ROM has it but look there to boot into hboot.

done
disregard this post please

Take out the battery, put it back in, hold volume down + power key for 3-5 seconds to get into bootloader. Theres a youtube video, can't remember what its called, but it shows step by step on how to root through Revolutionary. Very easy. Took me like 5 min to root

the recovery should be a PC36IMG.zip you flash that in hboot just make sure its on the root of your sdcard not in any folders then when you go to hboot it will find the update just except it.
The su apk should be a flashable zip just boot to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache then go to flash zip and choose that zip and flash it then reboot.
If this is your first time in recovery before you do anything make a nandroid backup this will backup everything in case anything goes wrong you can restore the backup and your phone will be just the way it was when you made the backup.

Ok got it all figured out. To be honest you had me lost and I almost made another noob post but I got it now. Figured out the whole flash to SD card deal. I am 100% rooted now. Now for a ROM

I downloaded the synergy rom and it deleted my carrier email app. Do all roms do this?? I'll say it again here, I'm in japan so might be a little different from the states. Anybody know how I could get it back using this rom?? Or a good rom to use that won't delete this app.

What happens is when you flash a rom, its a whole new phone basically [os] so it comes packaged with its own apps, themes. What you can do is:
- go into recovery, backup your current rom
- restore your initial backup
- use / download es file explorer [free] from the market
- enable su permissions, then navigate to /system/app and copy it to your sd card
- go back to recovery, restore the synergy backup
- once booted, install the app from the sd card
or if it was backed up, open titanium backup, restore the app and data.

Thanks for the help teh roxxorz. I got the mail thing figured out. Worked with es file but didn't work to well with titanium backup. Took some trial and error to find all the files needed cuz the paste the whole folder didn't work. Having other issues finding the contacts and getting force closes, so I decided to just not use that rom. On to finding another good one that works.

So I tried miui and that didn't work as well. Couldn't get the mail to work at all on that rom. Anybody happen to be in Japan and using this phone and could suggest a good rom to use that they have their au email and contacts moved over on, and have minimal issues?

Problems with Giopro v1.6

I have been experiencing problems with Giopro v 1.6 for a while, which is that when I want to enter the phone and use an app suddenly all the icons of the apps (not the systems apps such as Gmail, settings etc) are changed to a same type. At this moment I can't use any apps and have to restart the phone.
Any suggestions on how to avoid this, or even an update to Giopro??
thanks

I use Link2sd, and it works well, so far.
When it happens I can't open any apps, except the Settings (other system apps icons are showing but didn't try them), all the apps I have installed is not functioning after it happens.

I want to flash back the stock rom and I have already made a backup before I flashed in Giopro.
Can I use Odin to flash the rom without going in CWM mode? The reason is the phone has difficulty reading from the sd card.
The back up is as two folders, I previously made by CWM.

Try going into download mode, not recovery. Sd card isnt needed for that.
Use;
Power button, home button and volume down button at the same time when your phone is off, and then connect to pc and flash with odin

[Q] General Question before Putting lifeless ROM

So i have all of the files needed on the phone.
im rooted and using apex launcer... If i do a full wipe when in recovery, will i lose my apex launcher config, apps i downloaded, and also pictures.?
This is like my first smartphone coming from a BB for 5 years, i did own a galaxy tab which was rooted and has 4.1 rom in it, but i always didnt care about what inside so i did a full wipe clean/clean davik etc.
thanks

No u won't lose stuff in ur sd card like pics and video. You will lose apps tho, so i recommend u back up with titanium.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

I never lost apps when I flashed lifeless. All I lost was home config but that's prob because I went from stock to apex. If you choose apex while installing I'm sure it'll keep it the same. No guarantee tho lol

Choose the second option when you pick the wipes.
The first will wipe your sd card also.

now it a fresh LG with V9.. kernel of 3.0.2
im not able to get any sprint coverage, and not picking up my wifi HELP.
Any way to revert all this back to normal.? I did a backup earlier and i guess it got deleted when i did a full wipe

This phone is strange to me cause when I flash a new ROM I initially get no coverage in till I update profile.
Try updating profile

Well the one that apex launcher installs with is holo locker. There should be an app in the app page. Go into it and unchecked enable hololocker. As for stock, you have to have it enabled to use a different one to my knowledge
