I used unrevoked to root my EVO-4G and put the nightly mod on the sdisk and tried updating in recovery by selecting flash update from sdcard. why didn't it work? Basically it started up the phone and would stay at the splash screen. I fixed it, but I would really like to flash some custom ROMs. I am now running 3.07 with radio 2.15 etc. is there something I am missing? I am somewhat new to this and all the info you can give me would really help.
ps: when I boot in hboot mode it says "Supersonic EVT3 ship s-off, HBOOT 2.02" on the top
You need to wipe your /data and /cache partitions before flashing. The easiest thing to do is download and flash the FORMAT_ALL.zip (search for it on here, I've attached it a few times) and then flash CM.
Here is a link to Calkulin's mods, the Format all zip is in the OP (origianl post).

Also, if formatting doesn't work, try redownloading the ROM, perhaps you got a corrupt downlaod...

Quite right! An MD5sum can verify this. Just run the md5sum command from the command line, or if you're on Windows, use this:

Thank you guys, I will certainly try the suggestions above. I did wipe all data/cache before flashing the first time. I thought that maybe the latest nightly ROM didn't have the propper radio version for my phone. Is this a possibility?
Alright, so I flashed the regular CyanogenMod the one that says "stable" because the nightly was just too experimental for me... lol. anyways, it looks the same as the Nightly did, I haven't noticed any problems yet, but how do I dl apps? I do not see a market

You need to flash google apps, which is not included in CM.

Thanks guys, I am on my way... Just a few more questions
On the stock ROM they have a sweet VM app that allows you to listen to them without dialing. how would I do that with CyanogenMod? If there is a way...

If you're talking about the Sprint Visual VoiceMail, if you search in the Themes & Apps section, you can find a download. Otherwise, the most popular voicemail solution is Google Voice, which is what I use.
I dl it from on of the forums THIS ONE and it works great, but I now get a text msg every time I get a vm. is there a better place for me to dl it where this will not happen. I am not satisfied with just blocking that text number like they suggest
edit: and how do I remove this one to add the other one if you CAN help me find a new one that will not text me
Also, i cannot adb to my phone now that it is cyanogen, i uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled the adb/bootloader interface drivers with no success
I use ClockWorkMod on an HTC EVO 4G ( Rolls Eyes ),
I have been trying to install a more customized rom on my Evo and I cannot seem to do it.
-I'm Not New To Android Or Linux-
But I sometimes get a Status 7 Error or a " BAD " Error and cannot install any rom.
ANY IDEAS?!

What rom are you installing? A status 7 error only occurs when there are problems with the updater-script, and i dont think any dev would release a rom with a faulty updater script
Check the md5sum of your downloaded file, and download over a hardline and transfer to your phone if needed because it may just be a bad download that corrupted your the updater-script
Also try flashing other roms, and what version of CWM are you using? Try smelkus-mod recovery

Switch over to smelkus-mod and see if that fixes it
Did you check the md5sums and they line up?
The problem is in your opening sentence; Clockwork Mod. Read my guide in my signature. It'll tell you all you need to know

The Status 7 Error is not a script error either. It is an error installing the boot.img. This has become an ever more popular error on the evo. If you check you recovery log it will show everything installed fine until it got to the boot.img install and then it errors out. So please lets stop calling it something it is not.

It means that something went wrong with the updater-script, not necessarily that something is an error in the script itself, no ones calling it something that its not
Hello,
I got this problem trying to install RC4 and RC5 as well, but now still getting it with the fresh CM10.1.0 update. I am running CWM 6.0.3.1 and tried updating CM but got the status 7 error due to the asserts. I checked md5 just to be sure and made sure I have proper d2att file for my phone. I went in and manually removed the 2 assert lines in the beginning of the updater-script file and zipped back up and tried to flash again but now I just get "installation aborted..." right after "installing update..." with no explanation or error at all.
I tried searching, got nothing, anybody seen this before?
Thanks,
J

I have tried running the zip manually from recovery mode in CWM, tried installing it from Rom Manager where it reboots and automatically selects it and I have tried directly from the CM10 update button within the About Phone settings menu.
Is that what you are referring to?
No. Have you installed the jelly bean bootloader? If not, you will need to update them before cm, or any aosp based Rom, will install.
Also, you need the latest modem too.

I do not follow, what is the jelly bean bootloader? I understood it to be an alternative to CWM? Why have I been able to flash every update for CM10 until this?
Link to this jelly bean bootloader update?
Bootloaders are not a type of recovery. Perhaps you should read through this:

I have the same problem. Guess I'll never get 10.1, because it looks like you have to put a new bootloader on it, not sure why, and it risks a hard brick. It doesn't make any sense to require a new bootloader, seeing as I already have cyanogenmod 10, but the devs chose that for their reasons. I really want the camera in 4.2.
Well, if you've flashed any of the stock ROMS here, rooted or not rooted, you've flashed bootloaders.
well I guess I am confused. I am currently running cm-10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-d2att-M3.zip with the same bootloader I flashed with Odin back when I got the phone in september 2012. My roomate got the same phone except on sprint and we flashed his with the appropriate CM10.1 experimental release for the sprint phone. Since then we both have been updating via the built in CM updater and he has been able to go to the new stable CM 10.1.0 release today and has not flashed any new boot loader or anything, just updated CWM like I did.
So my question to you mrhaley30705, which no amount of searching or reading links has helped me thus far, is this something specific to the ATT version of the Galaxy S3? I do not understand what changed and why he can do it and I cannot.
More importantly, will flashing the newer boot loader you suggested require a wipe of everything? The only post actually referencing this for my phone is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41503727 and it is vague to say the least.
Your answers are much appreciated.
Here is the screen shot of what was posted on g+ by cm. I would say he is on the new bootloader. If you check the second link I posted above, there's a way to tell which bootloader you and your buddy have.
It doesn't wipe anything. You'll probably never notice the difference, with the exception of being able to run aosp based ROMS
thank you, that is informative, but still leaves me confused since I am running 4.2.2 (although the build is before that May release) and I am currently running I747UCLH9.
Checking my roomate's phone he is running XXXXXXLJ7 so either he started with a newer one or something. I guess that clears it up. Also, this thread was very helpful incase anybody searches and stumbles on my posts: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/73407-how-to-update-bootloader-and-do-i-need-to-do-this/
hi im a noob when it comes to phones, normally ill take it to a shop who will find one and install it for me, but i feel like trying this myself
are firmware in general like OSs? are kernels included as well or do i have to look for them? can I use any of them from any country? i dont mind resetting internet/MMS since theyre easy. im talking in computer terms to show how noobish i am
since i cant ask questions on the 'minimal by Judas' thread ill ask it here. is the 1.6 download a full OS with hardware stuff included or is it like a patch where i have to install that on top of an already working MG2? im interested in the zero patch since it removes most bloats, is it another OS or a patch on top of the minimal?
if it isnt too troublesome could someone write up a small walkthrough on using the aroma installer?
if you are alredy on MG2, you should have a working kernel for the minimalzero rom. alternatively you can use D-kernel.
as for the firmware itself, it's like an os. the package is a full rom (system installation, so installing it will first wipe your current system and then recreate it from scratch.
stuff like wifi passes and mms are on data tho, so u will keep that
for aosp based roms tho, the kernel needed will be included in the package, and a data wipe is required as well.
Flashing anything should be done by first flashing a temporary CWM via the stock recovery (look for temporary CWM by shaan in the development section) and then flashing zips from the temporary cwm once itl oads.
im still using stock 2.3.6 that came with the phone, would i need to install another firmware before hand?
and could i have some help finding an older version of CWM? weird thing is i rooted my phone but CWM is still not onstalled. ive reset my phone a lot, installed a few XXLD8 with CWM, tried to onstall standalone CWMs but none of them seem to work (failed to verofy whole package thing), tried via rom manager and it gives me the 'failed to verify whole package' thing.l
i even read a tutorial on that but its still not getting me through it
do i need CWM installed before i can upgrade using aroma/odin? can i use TWRP instead of CWM?
1. Follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43001497
2. Get temp CWM 6 (by Shaaan) then copy to external sdcard.
3. Reboot to recovery(you will be in stock) and chose third option from top (the line has an 'update'in it)
Find the temp CWM (will be named update.zip) and flash.
3. Make sure minimal zero file in in external/internal sd then chose flash zip from sdcard in temp CWM. And follow instructions in judas77's thread
EDIT: in 2: use power button to select

temp CWM is working
what are the requirements for minimal/zero? im following the 'all galaxy ace 2 jelly bean firmwares' and the newest reply i saw was a person who downloaded an MF2 but requiring an MF1. seeing how zero has an MG1 CSC version and mininal has an MG2 does that mean zero is a requirement of minimal or are they both standalones? i also read elsewhere that in order to install an MG youd have ti install earlier firmwares, is that true?
sorry for such noobish questions
You can flash MB4 then MG2 to ensure 624mb ram, if you flash mg2 only most like get only 482mb ram. Follow guide to get 624mb ram on any jb rom if you have only 482mb ram after flashing your desired fw.(mc8,mg2 etc). Minimal 1.6 and minimal zero are standalone roms.
EDIT: CSC does not really matter unless you want to update through kies (what for? Use odin) and you dont need to flash another firmware just for mg2.
Sent from my GT-I8160 using xda app-developers app
thanks for the replies, theyre helping a lot
theoretically if i wanted to skip downloading other firmwares, what files for the MG2 would i have to install manually? even without a complete MG2 i could still get in to download/recovery to install them? ive so far found kernels and the 628MB (from szabys signature), would those be enough?
if i wanted to go down this road that means installing the OS first then the others right, will the order count?
*edit*
about the different CSC versions, i thought other settings would be affected as well, so its just update over kies right
Just find any fw you like (i use mg2, but may not be best either, your choice ) then flash with odin under PDA(remember to extract the .zip to obtain the .md5) different csc dont seem to do any harm for me and i dont think it should
EDIT: you must wait for the whole flashing process in odin to finish(although i have no idea what happens if you dont). Once its booted you can just head to recovery and update to temp CWM then follow instructions to flash minimal

i feel like an ass asking how do i use this and that, but in the end i ended up flashing it to stock MG2, hope theres no hard feelings
Nope. Glad your phone works well . Just ask in Q & A next time

again thanks for the tip, id probably try CM10.1 B2 i found on bagnzors site (full download thing ~200MB), seeing how i rarely use the things he said arent fixed yet id just jump right in
im currently using zero, do i have to reflash MG2 first or can i install it on top of zero?

flashing on top works fine
dont know why i waited almost a year to root but honestly CM10.1 handles like GB (both using under 200MB, whereas 412/zero uses 300, all debloated)
but there are 2 problems i cant solve, it turns on when charging and 'package access helper/fused location' always running, other than those awesome mod
Hey guys
I think ive made a mistake on attempting to install a custom rom on a 18160L version. I really wanted to give the thing a boost as it was really starting to slow right down.
Ive backed up my "tee" file and replaced the tee file in the latest cyanogenmod, Shoud this enough to just start flashing ?
i installed a custom kernel containing cwm, the issue with it as it cant mount external sd also the cyanogenmod give status 7 when i attempt to flash it.
Also im attempting to adb push these files across to /emmc but after apearing to move correctly i cant find them on the device (they just dont apear)
Im kinda at a lost, as this is my first samsung device ive worked on, i releize odin is a possibility to atleast recover if things become real bad but i cant find the vaild oden file (new zealand firmware) since hotfile is down
If anyone can set me on the right track id be massively appreciative
Edit build prop to make ur phone GT-I8160 or delete assert in the updater script of CM zip
