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?

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

[Q] RA Recovery

Can Someone Customize it to be able to go through folders to flash zips instead of having to drop everything on the root of my sd card it's looks really unorganized and I always forget to put the zip on the root of my sd after wiping everything then trying to flash something. I wouldn't mind donating for that and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person that wouldn't mind donating for that being put in there.

The first recovery agent i had, clockwork or whatever, it let me go through folders. I'm not sure why the more recent version doesn't let you.

Yeah and also can anyone enable loop devices in it because I think it is one of the reasons why the dualboot doesnt work.

You would have to go to Amon_RA and talk to him. i believe i heard he was busy for a while. Maybe check with him on updating RA from 1.8.0 to something like 1.8.1. We defiantly need it!

Clockworkmod is for the noobies once first after rooting and using rom manager....unless you have RA, you wont wipe data nor dalvik or even battery stats correctly with clockwork. Clockwork needs a major overhaul. Clockwork and RA are two totally different recoveris. RA's feature is for there to not be so much clutter. so its scans /sdcard just for roms.

right clockwork has a ton of issues. i agree that it needs to be updated....or that someone needs to come along and try to combine both RA recovery style and clockworks style into one recovery....except do it right! (not halfassing it) but still......clockwork is always good for searching those folders. RA is good for wiping and stability and outrageously good for the nand backups!

First, amon recovery has its own thread and this request has been asked many times before.
Second, amon has the ability to mount the sdcard to your pc while in recovery. Honestly if you are doing any kind of flashing on your phone (besides nands) you really should be near a pc the whole time.
Last, if you read the amon thread, amon himself said that writing recoveries is a hobby and not his profession. Make your request be known in his thread and be patient although this request has been made many times like I said even by me. But when you realize how valuable the usb ms toggle option is (along with apps like astro, root explorer, etc) you will eventually get into the habit of triple checking your steps prior to flashing anything.

I agree with bmx añd lovëtheevo

For the folder issues, I just use ASTRO file manager to move the file I want to flash to the root of my SD. It's not hard, and can be done in a few seconds.

I see that a lot of the "experienced" android users prefer Amon_Ra recovery over Clockwork. I have to say that I personally have used Clockwork with no problems what so ever. Even a chicken**** noob like myself can use ROM manager w/o a problem. I never had a problems backing up my current ROM, restoring it or downloading and installing a totally new ROM.

Make sure you have at least one amonra nand backup squirelled away though. Clockwork doesn't back up the wimax image or rsa keys. Amonra does.

That's what I do for the time being but I like to organize my stuff in folders and sometimes o end up forgetting to move them and then wipe everything at work and be without my phone until I get home

Questions about flashing roms?

Okay so I want to flash a rom preferably myn's warm 2.2 but someone told me I shouldn't because I used unrevoked. What do I do?
Swyped from my HTC EVO 4G via xda app

Don't see what the issue would be. I used the newest unrevoked to root and have flashed nearly every rom available, including myn's warm TwoPointTwo which I am currently running.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

If you're rooted with S-off and amon ra or clockwork recovery works, then you should be able to flash any rom. I flashed myn's warm 2.2 on a hw 004 with hboot 2.02 with no problems. All depends if you fully rooted your phone.

How can I tell if it's fully rooted? I have super user and a bunch of other apps that require root..and did I just answer my own question? Lol $ is off. I just need to know to do a nandroid backup so I can try flashing for the first time (I'm a little concerned)

Power off the phone. Start the phone holding volume down and power. You will be at the fastboot screen. At the top left look for it to say s-off or s-on. If it shows s-off then your fully nand unlocked. If it shows s-on then you will need to dig deeper. Depending on your hardware revision if it shows s-on then you may be able to use unrevoked forever.
If your s-off then use rom manager to flash amon-ra (highly recommended)..
Be sure to place any flashable zips on the root of the SD card so amon-ra will see them. And yes do a nand backup first.

Check the link in my sig for a walk-through on backing up and flashing your first rom. It's pretty basic, but should tell you what you want to know.

Thank so much for the guide. The reality was I already knew what I was doing just needed to know what to do with the backup once it was made.

Okay I ran into a problem, did a nandroid backup and can't find the folder in my sd card for it, what do I do?

Nandroid backups are found in your SD Card under the nandroid folder.

I found out that I was using clockwork(kinda sad that I didn't know this from the start) and it was in the clockmod folder now to take a risk and flash this rom.

Can't flash other ROM's after CWM issue

I was affected by CWM when I upgraded to 3.0. I can't flash any ROM's except for Fresh's. I've tried going through Rom Manager, manually downloading ROM, AR recovery. The ROM install will complete but when I reboot I'm still in Fresh's. I don't know what it did to my phone. I've even deleted the rom.zip and downloaded it again thinking it was a bad download. From here on out I'm permanently switching to AR so if you guys can let me know what I should do.
By the way I list my backups. I did have a backup of UD but it won't restore in CWM. Will it work if I copy the backup from CWM and move it to the Amon Ra folder? I don't want to try it and possible make things worse.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yes I need help on this, too. I wanted to go to Myn's rom and can not at all. And I believe I read backups are not interchangeable between CW and RA.

You need to restore amon_ra 1.8 as your recovery and then reflash your rom. Cwm backups are not compatible with ra.

I tried that. I re-downloaded the ROM's, placed on the root, flashed in Amon Ra and it completes but doesn't boot up. Out hangs at the white htc evo splash screen. The CWM broke my phone.
I'm trying to avoid flashing the stock RUU and rooting again. I'm guessing there may be a file thats conflicting. By the way I deleted ROM manager permanently.

you can do this using cwm(rom manager) , if its greyed out then dl the latest amon_ra1.8 and put on the root of your sd card, then try again thru cwm. thats what worked for me.
But yea the latest cwm update isnt something to get excited about. doesnt play nice on some evo's.
stick with good ole faithful Amon_Ra and start flashing from recovery, not from some app. its always stable and not to mention wipes correctly/easily

Any tips? I need to get my AOSP rom and Sense ROM loaded.

Can't restore nandroid backup amon RA 2.3

As the title says I can't restore from backups I just made. I get an oops.....something went wrong. Please check recovery.log, but when I try to move rrecovery.log to sd it gets an error too.
It's not renamed anything with spaces or weird characters.
I flashed cwm and uses that to restore the nandroid I made, but it didn't restore properly and half the apps didn't restore. This has been an issue for a very long time. Accross 2 ssd cards.
Any help is appreciated.

When you backed up and restored did you check the sd ext option. If your rom is utilizing a2sd that's where your apps would be if you are partitioned.

No, I didn't check that. I'm not running a2sd right now and don't have a partition for it currently

If you aren't using sd-ext, are having this problem with two different SD cards and can't copy the recover.log to your SD card, three things come to mind that could be the problem:
1) Your amon-ra recovery is corrupt somehow and you need to reflash Amon-ra
2) The SD you used when you made the backups was bad or somehow when you made the backups they got corrupted for some reason.
3) The flash memory on your phone (the internal storage) is somehow going/gone and can no longer be read/written correctly. (This wouldn't explain why you can't copy the log file, though).
The first would be relatively easy to check, but if you made the nandroids with a corrupt version of Amon-ra they still might not restore right even if you reflash Amon-ra.
For checking number 2 you could go into your Nandroid directory and try manually extracting the files to see if they are corrupt or not.
If it is the third problem, I guess you would need to RMA/exchange your phone-- not sure how you would actually check for this problem but I guess if you can flash a clean/new ROM and it works fine it probably isn't this.
Good luck!

You can also try flashing the Amon RA Style recovery from this thread:

So is this an issue with the Rezound or the Evo?
If it's with the Rezound then there may be some people with that phone that know more than we know, and therefore may be able to help. If it's with the Evo, then I am not quite sure why this information is relevant.
