Hi All, admitted newbie here. Sorry if this is misplaced, but I've searched and can't find the answer.

I've rooted my evo, dowloaded the all in one sprint lovers rom and installed it using rom manager. however, after install, i can find no signs of it being SL - no wifi tether app, no % battery indicator, no power control from pull-down window. from all outward appearances it is vanilla sense/froyo.

how do i verify exactly what installed? do i have to somehow seperately install/enable the SL features mentioned above?

help is appreciated..... thanks.

To check what you have just go to settings then at the bottom about phone, then software and look around it should say what rom you have
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
you don't flash it from rom manager.

name it to pc36img.zip EXACLTY and make sure it is on the root of the sdcard. save anything worth saving. then power off phone. then hold volume down and power, and you should see a white screen w/ skating droids. it'll ask if you want to updat.e hit folume up for yes. once it is done, it'll ask you if you want to reboot. also hit volume up for yes.

i'd reccomend you also try some roms like myns, mik's, koni's, and maybe some aosp cm7 action as well.

welcome to the root world.

any other quesitons, don't be afraid to ask.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimReaper24:
Download Amon 2.3 for recovery you can also use this later to flash things and backups. Now place the sprint lovers rom in the root of sd card turn phone off.

Hold volume button down and hit the power button while holding down to get into bootloader it will then boot the pc36img.

Then when you get that all done remove it from your sd card and copy amon 2.3 pc36img over do the same thing. Then remove it from the sd card and bingo your set man. Easy as pie. Any more directions PM me.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peakay:
First of all, thanks to those who have posted already - very much appreciated.

I think i found the problem (but not the solution yet) and it is very weird. After having problems getting sprint lovers loaded, I went ahead and tried cm7 using the version downloaded from rom manager. It installed and I've been using it a couple days. very nice.

However, I still wanted sprint lovers so I tried it again today. Downloaded the all in one fresh again to my mac so i was sure of the right file, moved it to my sd card root, verified it is there in finder, then did an install from sdcard using rom manager. it goes through the whole process and what do I get? CM7 again?!?

So... I think what was happening was that installing from sdcard in rom manager is resulting in the already existing rom being reinstalled. weird.

Further to this problem, if I manually boot into recovery and try to install from sdcard, I am able to see all the usual folders, etc. on the sdcard, but not the zip rom file. I can see the rom file when the phone is mounted to my mac and I can also see it when I use a file manager on the phone. However, in recovery, no dice. This is why I initially used rom manager to install as I wasn't seeing rom files when browsing in recovery.

Does anyone have a solution? I am totally confused as to why this is happening and its caused hours of confusion already. Is it a Mac file thing?? I kept installing Sprint Lovers and finding that there were no new features (about 3 times), which is why I originally made this posting.

Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cruise350:
YOU CAN NOT USE ROM MANAGER TO INSTALL THE ALL IN ONE VERSION OF SPRINT LOVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The all in one version of sprint lovers must be installed from the boot loader not recovery. You copy sprint lovers PC36IMG.zip to the root of the sd card and enter the boot loader, then follow the instructions on the screen when it asks if you want to update.

If you insist on using ROM manager then you have to install the stand alone version of Sprint Lovers. This will require you to also install the updated radios unless you have already updated the radios.

PC36IMG.zip use bootloader, any other .zip is installed using recovery and rom manager uses recovery.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
dude wtf.

srry but i told you how in my first post ^^^^^

sprintlovers is a ruu style flash, which is mostly unused. rom manager uses update.zips.

if you're going to ask a question, plz dont ignore a perfectly good answer.

i get where you might have gotten confused, because the rest of the people told you how to flash an update.zip rom, which won't work with sprintlovers. but you didn't even try mine, even though i gave you perfectly good instructions.

if you need help, dont be afraid to ask.

but don't ignore the answer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peakay:
Sorry dk, no disrespect, I just didn't understand what you were telling me exactly. Please keep in mind there are a lot of moving parts to this with the roms, kernals, radio updates, etc. and whats obvious to you may not be to someone who just started. I actually did follow your directions yesterday once it sank in and Cruise replied to make it crystal clear and all is well now. SL is installed and working perfectly.

I left thanks to you both...thank you!

One question: Is there a rom like sprint lovers, but is stripped down and crap free? I don't like having to go back and delete everything and not know what i might step on that affects the phone later. I really liked cm7 a lot for the couple days I used it, but with gps being flaky (i know it is fixable) and some random lags and weirdness I got on certain apps, I am not sure if it is solid enough. I use this phone daily as my main business phone for all incoming and outgoing calls, so it has to be solid.

Thanks again.

I suggest that you download and install the Titanium Backup app. Whatever rom you decide to flash, you can use the aforementioned app to "freeze" an app you don't want.

Thanks Doug - very helpful.

However, am still interested if there is a clean, crap-free rom where you do not have to go through and delete so many items. Anyone know of one?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
That will depend on your definition of "crap-free". If crap free means the removal of all Sprint apps then yes, most custom sense roms have them removed and stored in a special folder on your SD card in case you decide to install one or more of them later. Some people see the Sense overlay as crap. If you do, too, then there are numerous AOSP roms available. Salvage-Mod and CyanogenMod are just two of the more popular ones. There is even a sense-removal script floating around. Keep in mind, however, that the devs initially create their roms to suit their own tastes. They then alter their work to satisfy fans of their work as best as they can. Furthermore, what you consider crap may be a necessity to the next person. Know what I mean? Anyway, I hope I was helpful. Take care and enjoy the rest of your day....;)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
Are you certain the file isn't named PC36IMG.zip.zip? Remove the .zip portion and try again, just in case. Also, are you certain the file is suppose to be flashed from the bootloader and not from within recovery? If you are and removing the .zip from the filename didn't work, redownload the file.

Yes i.m sure it is named PC36IMG.ZIP and when bootloader serch for it (wrong image) and i did download few times but with the same results , what else could it be? just in case i'm going to download it one more time
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diegol76:
Again ( no image or wrong image ) WTF is wrong? now i noticed that when bootloader is searching or loading the image first says ( loading PC36DIAG.ZIP ) and then ( no image or wrong image ) and after that loads the PC36IMG.ZIP but again ( no image or wrong image )
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
yea dude it's named wrong. windows hides file extensions sometimes so it may be named pc36img.zip.zip but you just don't know it. try removing .zip then try again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Good call. That's why I just tell people to name it PC36IMG, since I already know its a .zip extension.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertfah:
I am having the same issue.....keeps saying no image. I've made sure the file name is correct (only 1 extension) and it's sitting in the root of my sdcard. Any other ideas? Is the file case sensitive? Windows files usually aren't but I don't know what the bootloader is written in so not too sure. Please help as I've found the process up to this point to be pretty painless but didn't want something this small to hold me up.

Thanks a bunch!

Edit: I've also downloaded and tested the .zip several times (using WinRAR) and it seems ok. the file size is 225,430 KB.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
try just removing the extenstion altogether then. just pc36img (no period either). that might work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertfah:
Thanks for the response...

Tried that as well and still didn't work. Frustrating for sure but I'm sure there's something missing here. Let me list the steps I've done and see if anything is missing:

Rooted phone using unrevoked 3.3..it shows the super user in the applications menu and when I run Titanium Backup, it shows that it's rooted. So I think I'm safe there.

I downloaded PC36IMG.zip from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=830153 (The first one, the All In One)and it took forever (about 20m) but it downloaded...~220MB. Tested with WinRAR and checks out OK....I put it in the root of my SD Card and powered down the phone. Held down the Volume Down button & the Power Button and booted into the menu. It takes about 3 seconds and then appears to scan for several files including pc36img.zip....they all say the same thing "no image found...".

I tried to rename the file (using root explorer) without the extension and lowercase (incase it's case sensitive) but still nothing. When I go to Software Information on my phone, here's what I get:

Andriod Version

2.2

Baseband Verions

2.15.00.11.19

Kernal Version

2.6.32.17-gee557fd

htc-kernal@and18-2 #15

Build Number

3.70.651.1 CL294884 release-keys

Software Number

3.70.651.1

Browser Version

WebKit 3.1

PRI Version

PRL Version

01115

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
that's pretty odd. maybe just try flashing a different rom, through recovery. sprintlovers is pretty basic. i'd try myn's warm twopointtwo, mikfroyo, koni's elite, or something entirely different. i have a huge list of roms if you want...

that's not fixing the problem, but you'll have a custom rom that's better (more custom) than sprint lovers anyways.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
The hotspot feature is unlocked on many custom roms, however, you will need to peruse the thread where you downloaded your specific rom or PM the dev to see if it has been unlocked.

The PC36IMG.zip for amon_RA is only a custom recovery and not a rom and therefore, its size is only a fraction in comparison to the size of a rom.

i have a MAJOR problem!

i was using my phone (RAFDROID) like any other day, nothing special... usually when my battery gets low, like 25% or less, it gets slower, like really slow, but then i just shut it down and put the other battery in, and its fine.

not today... today, it got down to like 22%, so i decided to put my other battery in, well i tried to unlock my phone, and i could get the screen to turn on by pressing a button, but couldnt unlock it, like the screen was unresponsive. i plugged it in, same problem, screen turned on, but was unresponsive, i had no choice but to take the battery out without shutting it down. i put a fully charged battey in, and turned the phone on, it booted into JMZ dual boot like normal, then i tried to click the button to use win mo, nothing... same for android, screen was still unresponsive!

i tried plugging it into the computer, takeing the sd card out, and restarting it 4 times, nothing is working, my phone is not working! what could the problem be? i need to get this fixed ASAP, until then i am completely with out a phone, please help asap! PLEASE!!!!

3 days ago I successfully rooted my epic4g which came stock from sprint with EC05 and thn flashed it w/ Syndicate Frozen Rom 1.1.0 fully loaded w/ Clockwork 3.0. Everything was working great until recently tonight. I first noticed my call log menu was not there and it seems my battery was dying quicker all of a sudden. Then I received a call from my friend, i answered it as normally. After the call it started saying my "TwLauncher (process com.sec.andriod.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" and "Google Services Framework (processcom.google.process.gapps) has stopped unexpectedly)

so i press force close and now it is in a loop. I reboot my phone and now on boot it tells me the same and I am in a loop. Now here I am asking for help. My phone can still boot into clockwork.. I would like to know if there is anything I can do without losing data... Please help with any suggestions of what I should do. If I lose data then so be it, but I would like not to. Thank you!

Exact Same Problem

I have the exact same problem too. I root the phone early yesterday and flashed the frozen rom (using the same versions as you indicate). I like the rom and the phone worked all day yesterday great. This morning, as soon as I turn the phone on, it goes into a loop indicating "TwLauncher (process com.sec.andriod.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". I press the Force Close button, but before I can bring my home page up or even power off, the message keeps popping up. I am forced to pull the battery to turn it off.

What's up with this rom?

Wipe then flash another rom
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
Nothing's "up" with it - clearly you had bad data to begin with or did something crazy like pull your battery for no reason.

Wipe data, reflash, then take a backup in CWM and restore it to turn journaling on.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0814bk:
I will try the reflash.

When you indicated "do something crazy like pull your battery for no reason", what did you mean? It appeared that the phone was in a loop where I couldn't get it to boot up or turn it off. Was there another option for me at that point?

Also, would you mind explaining journaling a little? What does it do? Is the only way to turn it on if you flash, take a backup in CWM, and then restore?

thanks and sorry for the noobie questions...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Journaling is like write verifies. It writes to your phone twice to make sure there is a backup of data. If there is an improper shutdown like battery pull or lockup then with journaling off, some data is not properly written back to the phone thus data corruption. There are other ways of turning on journaling with adb but the backup/restore is the easiest.

If there are FCs only in TWlauncher, go to setings>applications>manage applications>all scroll down to twlauncher, open it and hit clear data. It will fix the fc but you will lose your homescreen setup. If you have a backup in Titanium of it, restore the data from the backup to get them back.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicNewb4g:
Very interesting... Thanks for the replies. The suggestions in this thread are very helpful and I figured that is what I had to do. But this morning when I woke up, my phone seemed to fix itself... I received a text during my sleep and in the morning when I went to see the message, everything seemed normal w/ syndicate rom still installed. I still seemed to lose my call log under the contacts menu but my phone works now. Is there an app to get my call log back where it was?? or to re-enable it on my menu?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0814bk:
thanks too for the replies.

One more question on the journaling...

When I reflash and it's complete, does it matter if I do the backup/restore before or after rebooting the system?

thanks again
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
When you reflash, boot your system first, make sure everything works fine and then do the backup/restore to enable journaling. You don't have to boot between backup and restore.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
There is no log? look in settings>applications>manage applications>all and scroll down to see if you have logsprovider.apk. You can restore data from a titanium backup to that app if you have one. If that file is missing, something happened in the flash. I am not sure if you need a special one for your ROM, you can ask in the development thread for that ROM or you can try and flash this one which has the sms data removed from the call log:

RSD lite worked like a charm.. didn't remove my sim card or SD card, everything is working fine.. gingerblur 2.5

got one outrageous 32Mbps upload speed.. that would be nice! lol.. But for the most part, i'm getting better upload speeds now. i know for sure my u/l speed never came anywhere near 1Mbps on cellular network before. i have not noticed any heat problems.. i even flashed back to the shipping radio to compare temps.. only rise in temperature was when the speed test app froze while testing the u/l speed.. as soon as i killed the process, temp went back to normal which on my phone seems to be about 40°C

anyways, before the mod.. there would be a noticeable wait just sending text messages with emoticons..in areas with poor coverage i knew not to use any emoticons because the message simply wouldnt send.. horrible lol.. now, i sent 2 emails with screenshots & they sent almost instantly.. i'd say its pretty amazing :D
