Well, once you odin to stock, use the one click cwm3005/3005 to root and install cwm3006, then 3 button into recovery, and it will automaticly convert to ext4. Or you could just flash this .tar file cuz it has the root, and cwm3006 already built into it. Just one flash and you get it all. No need for flashing to stock then running the one click root and cwm. This .tar has it all built in... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1021305

Ok, if MS created a new OS with unsupported files like .dll, exe and .cab; then why can i find those extensions in Windows Folder of my HD7?

Any chance to edit them or something? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] amtrakcn:
It's a new OS based on Windows CE so the binaries are still exe. Just like in iOS, where the binaries are still Unix binaries.

However all apps in WP7 are required to be xap.

The dlls in WP7 system and apps are editable.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I wouldn't suggest editing files. I am sure they are signed with a MS cert. Editing the files will loose said cert & make the system not want to load them. So was the case in WM 6/6.1/6.5/etc. You had to unsign dll/edit/resign dll with sdkcerts.
[Windows Phone 7 General] arkatis:
Thanks for suggesting that cause i was ready to edit some interesting stuff here! :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] drkfngthdragnlrd:
If you have PE Explorer, open the exe/dll in it to see if it's signed.

The icon squared in red should be grayed out like show if there's NO signature. If there is one, it's be colored & selectable. If it's Grayed out it should be safe to edit.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravissimo:
hello all, noob here. searched the forums already, not quite the same problem here.

I just rooted my phone with unrevoked 3.32, had zero problems. I confirmed that i had nand unlocked in hboot (says S-OFF). I started up my phone without problems after rooting, checked and I had superuser permissions in the app drawer. i then proceeded to download busybox, rom manager, my backup for root, and titanium backup from the market, but I did NOT open any of them. I thought I would do a nandroid backup first.

I rebooted into hboot, went to recovery. this started up clockworkmod (that came with unrevoked 3.32), went to backup and restore, and hit nandroid backup. It completed, said done, then i selected "go back" and selected the first option, reboot system now.

I then tried to turn my phone on, just regular power on not into hboot, and i get stuck at the white htc evo 4g screen, it then reboots, and continues to cycle up to that point.

I have NOT flashed anything other than rooting my phone. i haven't wiped anything, done anything else than what i have there.

Hboot version is 2.10

radio version says 2.15.00.11.19

clockworkmod version is 2.6.0.1

EVO is from June 2010, not a new evo.

I can get into hboot and recovery, no problems, but i can't startup the phone.

Please help! i just want to start up the phone, don't want to flash anything yet. Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
Maybe its the busybox that you downloaded. You should hit up recovery and do a full wipe! The start up again. What rom are you running, most roms have busybox included so when you download it I've seen phones get the white screen of death. Grab a rom and reflash it. Since you put busybox that nandroid you made probably is no good. Reason I'm telling you all this is because has happened to me before. Good luck
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Well, I'm not sure what exactly went wrong for ya, but I might suspect it was something to do with some of the apps you downloaded prior to making your backup. The first thing to try, would be to boot to recovery, and wipe cache, and then go to 'advanced' and wipe dalvik cache. Then try to reboot. If that fails, then you're next option (without flashing a new ROM) is to do a data/factory reset. You will however lose all of your apps, settings, contacts, texts, etc. You unfortunately don't really have any other options, unless wiping cache's helps you out. If a factory reset doesn't allow you to boot, then you're most likely going to have to flash a new ROM. And also, I thought that Unrevoked flashed the latest clockwork recovery, which would be 3.0 or somehting like that, no?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravissimo:
Hi k2buckley,

So I tried wiping the cache and the dalvik cache then rebooted, no luck. Does this mean the nandroid backup I made is also corrupt? Restoring that won't do anything will it? So the options are to do a factory reset or flash a new rom? If I lost everything anyway, I might as well try to flash a new rom.

However, to clarify, I didn't "install" busybox. I downloaded the app but I didn't open it up and click install. So even if I flash a new rom, then I install busybox and do a nandroid backup it will work? If so, why didn't it work this time? If I do a factory reset, then do the same thing and install busybox, will the same thing happen? Is busybox incompatible with the sense froyo that comes from the sprint OTA?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
You don't need to download busy box, I would delete that app. If you flash a rooted rom it should already have busybox; if you just rooted your phone and want to download busybox on your current stock rom then it will be ok. I would wipe and flash a new rom just to be safe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Well, I'm not exactly sure why you want to download busy box so badly. Any rom comes with busy box cooked in. I have only once installed busy box. The only time i remember having to do it, was Immediately after I rooted with Unrevoked, i went to use Titanium, and had some error. I hit the problems button and that updated busy box from there. Other than that, I've never messed with it.

And yes, most likely your nandroid backup is not going to be of any value to you. You could try restoring it if you'd like, but I predict it would be a waste of time. And I'm not sure that it matters that you didn't 'open' and click install on busy box. If you downloaded it from the market, wouldn't it just download and install itself automatically? I would just flash a rom, and be done with it. Roll with whatever version of busy box comes with the ROM you flash. As you said, you're only option is a factory reset now, and if you're going to do that, you certainly may as well flash a custom rom at the same time. You just need to download a rom, and put it on your sd card. You can mount the sd card as a disk drive to your computer from within recovery. I use amon ra, and its called USB MS TOGGLE. I'm not sure what it's called in clockwork, but the option is there. So put the rom on your sd card, perform a complete wipe, (i'd flash calkulin's format all.zip as well), flash a rom, reboot, and forget about anything with busy box. It will be installed on the rom already.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
If you download busybox from the market and it already has it built in the rom you might bork the rom and get a bootloop. Try it and see for yourself :-) !
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravissimo:
Well, the only reason I download busybox was because I wanted to use titanium backup and it is required. Other than that, I could care less about it. It does not install automatically after downloading. You have to go into the app and choose which version you want to install and I didn't install it. The thing is I didn't want to install any roms in the first place. I wanted to just root the phone for the purpose of wifi tethering. So basically my better option is doing a factory reset.

I won't be able to do this til I get home in a few hours, so if anyone else has any suggestions on how to fix this without losing my data, I would appreciate any tips. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
If you can get a logcat that should show what is causing it to bootloop. It's 'adb logcat > logcat.txt' to do it, run that and wait for it to loop 3 or 4 times before pushing Ctrl+C to stop it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravissimo:
Busybox isn't included in the ROM because I didn't flash a ROM! I'm using the sense 2.2 froyo Ron that comes from sprint and HTC. I didn't flash anything as I stated in the title. I just did a nandroid backup and now my phone won't boot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Right. But unfortunately now, your data seems to be lost. Did a factory reset help anything? If not, you got to wipe and reflash a rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
I understand that. As I stated, I'm not sure what's causing your problem. As xhausx said, try getting a logcat
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirkyd3rk:
What method of rooting did you use? What recovery do you have right now? As hausx said you could do a logcat and he'll check it out!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravissimo:
Hi xHausx,

I will have to wait til I get home to try that, but how do I get into the prompt to type that in dos. Do I need to run anything in hboot or clockworkmod before connecting my Phone and trying that? I am a noob, so even though I've read a lot before rooting, I don't know much. Please assume I need a step by step. Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
You can use the root tools zip from the link in my sig to get to adb, there is a script in there called OpenShell that will bring up a dos prompt in the right folder. Rooting should have enabled adb during boot so you should be ok on that end.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravissimo:
OK, so I downloaded and extracted the auto-root tools only zip from your sig, and then ran OpenShell.bat and typed as you said "adb logcat > logcat.txt" with my phone plugged in. said "waiting for device" and then i turned on my phone and let it boot 4-5 times before ctrl+c and pulling the usb. all the logcat.txt says is...

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

am i doing something wrong?

my apologies, i've only throughly read on how to root, i hadn't gotten into flashing or anything else yet. just been on xda site for a few days now reading all i could about rooting (which went fine, but now i'm screwed).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravissimo:
man, for the life of me, i can't believe i didn't do a nandroid before i downloaded the app. for some reason i thought only downloading an app from the market, not flashing anything or whatever, would not screw up my phone.

anyway, since my data is lost, i wanted to try again. can i flash the unrevoked S-ON utility and then the latest Sprint RUU and then re-root? i read somewhere else that it won't remove my wimax/RSA keys or SD card, is that correct? is there a way to backup my RSA keys before I do anything else? should i do that, re-root, then nandroid, then mess with stuff? i basically wanted a stock Sprint EVO but one that's rooted so i can run root-based apps, that's what I want to get to.

I just tried flashing salvage mod and its gapps and it wouldn't boot either time. I also cleared all cache. Anyone know what I can do?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JerenOtt:
it is salvage mod 1.2.1.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
What ROM were you on before you flashed Salvage Mod? If it was a sense rom, you need to perform a full wipe (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, boot, system) prior to flashing the new rom. When you said you cleared 'all cache', do you also mean you cleared dalvik cache as well? What recovery are you currently using? I'm on salvage 1.2.1 right now, and I've never had a problem booting it. When you say it won't boot, what does it do? Does it boot loop, or does it hang at the splash screen (white htc evo 4g screen)? The more info the better. I'd basically suggest doing a full wipe though, and try again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JerenOtt:
I was on stock rooted before this. I did clear dalvik cache but I need to do a factory reset like you said. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JerenOtt:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
No problem man. It will boot up after a doing a full wipe, most likely.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Can you boot into the bootloader? Power off your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text should scroll across the screen and then you will see a few options. One of the options will be recovery. Anyway, at the top of the screen, you should see either S-ON or S-OFF. Hopefully, it displays S-OFF. Anyway, select recovery from the set of options and then, as k2buckley has instructed, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card itself. When you're done, do not reboot. Go to the flash menu and flash the rom you want to flash. Do not flash the gapps zip yet. Reboot after flashing the rom. I want to make sure you're able to boot into the homescreen. If you're successful, reboot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then flash the gapps.zip. afterwards, reboot. When you're all setup, go back I to recovery and make a nandroid backup.

I was having similar issues, mine went into a boot loop about twice before getting hung up at the initial setup with FCs. I was coming from CM7 Nightly 41 that was acting weird with FC's, I always double wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset. I thought that I might have had a bad download so I re-downloaded, wiped and flashed. I couldn't get past the initial setup so I went back to Ultimate Droid and have been running that for the last 4 days or so with out any major problems except for the Facebook update dicking things up and one random reboot that I had today... I really want to give Salvagemod a shot though since it's Evo-centric.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
The OP's problem was solved in a second thread by following the below instructions:

Download a fresh copy of both amon RA v2.3 (PC36IMG.zip) and Salvage-Mod 1.2.1 and place both on the root of your SD card. Make sure there is no other file named PC36IMG.zip. on the root of your card. If there is, put that particular file in a folder. Now shutdown your device. Boot into the bootloader screen. The bootloader will automatically detect the PC36IMG.zip file and prompt you to install. Follow the prompts to install. Installation should take less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot into your new recovery. Go to the wipe menu and wipe everything except the SD card. Do not reboot. Go to the flash menu and flash Salvage-Mod. This *should* work.

[Desire General] Dudditz:
Ok, will give you as much detail as I can, hopefully someone can help.

My Desire is suffering from the rebooting constantly problem. Now, I have to send it back to T-Mobile so I though before I done so, I should put the correct Rom on it.

I downloaded all the T-Mob ones I could find, and not of them worked, two were the wrong bootloader version and two just had errors on start up.

Bootloader 0.83.0001 btw.

Anyway, not sure what has happened next but now when I try to turn my Desire on it just hangs on the white HTC start up screen. So i tried Power + Vol down to go into recovery and it does the same, stick on the white HTC screen.

I have taken the SD card out to try this and it has no effect, it's the same as the above.

At a loss now as to what to do, is the phone totally broke or is there some way that I can recover it?

Any help muchly appreciated.

Edit - Is there a way of flashing the RUU directly to the phone to make it run on start up? OR am I talking gibberish?
[Desire General] cez10:
did you HOLD DOWN(right way) the Vol Down + Power untill the fastboot screen appears or did you just press it?
[Desire General] Dudditz:
Held it down and got into the bootloader screen, can see all the options but picking recovery just send me to the white HTC screen where it then sticks.
[Desire General] cez10:
Hmm maybe recovery is corrupted, there is a way of flashing using fastboot but i dont know how to do it, perhaps someone else can help you with fastboot mode

Swyped from my HTC Desire using XDA Premium App
[Desire General] e-ignite:
Sorry that I can't help you with the bootloader issue, but just a quick note for your future reference when you (hopefully) get the bootloader sorted: Bear in mind that there's a big difference between t-mobile in the UK and in the US. It's possible that you've downloaded and flashed a US-based t-mobile ROM which has made the phone unstable.

As far as I know, UK-based t-mobile handsets operate on the 900/1800/2100 MHz bands. In the US, t-mobile runs on 1700/1900/2100 MHz bands, so the ROM you've loaded may not actually be compatible with your hardware. This may or may not help you solve the problem / avoid it in future.

Good luck!

[Desire General] Mishat:
I think u have to unroot ur device first. This hapens to me before n I just do the step i give u down. It will help u but u have to get the correct ruu file for ur device

1. Reboot your HTC Desire into bootloader mode by turning the phone off then pressing the power button while holding down the volume down button.

2. Select “Fastboot” and hit power button.

3. Connect your HTC Desire to your computer and make sure “Fastboot USB” comes on the HTC Desire.

4. Just download the RUU file and run.

Thats it u r now unrooted ur device should start up as like u first turn it on. Sorry for the bad english.
[Desire General] OpusX11:
i would recommend flashing a new recovery first via fastboot before trying RUU (though it is a good suggestion as well). If you can get to fastboot, you just need to download whatever recovery image you use, connect your phone via usb and use:

fastboot flash recovery C:\wherever_you_put_it\wahtever_image.img

Recovery can become corrupt too just like anything else on the phone..
