[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimebagdan65:
I think I recall seeing something about that error on the unrevoked website. I'm out and about right now but I'll check on it when I get home, but in the meantime if you wanna do some digging, I'd start there
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelestial:
I am in pretty much the same position as the OP except that I have a Shift and I was just about to start a similar thread when this one popped up. I read as much as I could and I have a rooted phone but I still don't clearly understand all the instructions. I wish someone could just put it in clear instructions like the root process for half-phone 'tech' noobs like us. I only understood clearly about half of what I read. So basically, it's this?

1. Copy the file onto phone's SD card. (I am using x99_GB_Sense_Stock_Rooted_2.76.651.4)

2. Go into Recovery (power + down vol) and backup

3. Go into recovery and choose "Flash from Zip"

4. Choose zip on SD

5. Select power to confirm

6. Reboot.

However there is something about wiping and restoring? I am coming from a rooted rom and I'm nervous to try and figure out how to wipe and restore on my own. Can anyone clarify this part? And is there any instructions I missed?

Also, if I want to put a different rom like MiKs, can I flash it later using same methods? What's the big differences between stock and Team MiKs?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
After you do a nandroid backup, then you wipe system, data, dalvik, and cache. Then flash from sd card. You only need to restore if something goes wrong. Same process for any rom flash

We're comin from a pure power source.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelestial:
Thanks for response. I have just done a nandroid backup I believe with ClockworkMod. How do I wipe dalvik? I just see "Wipe data/factory reset" and"Wipe cache partition". -EDIT- Scratch that, the rom I listed said it did that for me when I installed it. Hopefully all went well...

EDIT- Booted up and is working although as soon as I logged in Sense took forever to load.

I know this is likely a dumb question, but if I don't restore anything, how do I keep my apps and saved data? Or, is that the catch?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
Do both of those wipes.

The other wipe is dalvik, it is under the ADVANCED menu.

To keep your apps download TITANIUM BACKUP app from the market.

Now to use titanium, I recommend only backing up apps with data.

If you backup your settings on the phone and restore them, this is usually where people start having issues.

Titanium can restore your phone to almost exactly the way it was almost automatically, but some roms are set up a little different and restoring settings can make your phone run weird.

So before you wipe and flash a new rom. Dload titanium, go in to the app and "backup all apps with data".

After its done, wipe and flash the rom. When your phone is fully booted, download titanium again from the market, go into the app and select "restore apps with data"

Install all the apps and ur done with that.

But you will have to re-set-up your phone again,from home screen,to email,to wifi settings.

Hope this helps, If you dont understand, jus ask, dont worry bout gettin flamed, we all gotta learn somehow

EDIT- Too late jus seen ur post. If you already flashed and didnt backup with titanium, you cant get anything back. (besides things synced wit google) You have to redownload through the market

EDIT2- Oh yeah and metalfan is talkin about is a NANDROID RESTORE not an app/settings restore.

You do a nandroid restore when for instance you flash a new rom and your phone gets stuck on the white evo 4g screen, or your phone is runnin like crap after you flash a rom.

A nandroid restore will bring your phone to exactly like it was before you flashed the rom.

So if you were on a 2.2 froyo rom and you flashed a gingerbread rom, youll be back on froyo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelestial:
Thank you so much for the help and advice r.storm85. I actually flashed the rom and had Gingerbread up and running without any apps, so now I'm gonna restore back to Froyo to see if I can get Titanium up and running so I can restore my personal data. This will also make it very easy to do for my husband's EVO.

Thanks again, I'll edit this post to let everyone know if everything worked out, or if I have any issues.

EDIT- Just saw your post about not being able to get my apps back, damn it :( Oh, well, the phone is fairly new, only a few weeks old so there wasn't a lot on it but still...Does that mean all my data is gone too? Luckily the only thing I will miss is a video or two. I attempted to restore my Froyo before seeing your post, and it just kept rebooting back into ClockworkMod/recovery mode.

I'm glad you told me that before I flashed my husband's EVO though! He has had that for nearly half a year. And it's definitely a mistake I won't make again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
Actually I forgot about your nandroid backup.

Yes you can nandroid restore back to your old froyo rom, and use titanium, then reflash the gingerbread rom. My bad :)

And all your pics and videos are on your sdcard, you never lose those, the only things you lose are

Apps

Settings

Home screen setups

Email accounts

thats all I can think of right now
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelestial:
Lol, really? You're toying with my emotions! :P Well, at any rate, I tried to restore back to Froyo using ClockworkMod, but it just kept rebooting into ClockworkMod. Any ideas? Am I screwed?

EDIT- However, when I tried to restore to the Gingerbread backup, I had just made, it was perfectly fine. I'm going to keep messing with it in the meantime without hopefully screwing anything up. At this point, I can't screw much else up besides bricking it.

EDIT 2-

Oh, yeah! Whew, that's awesome. So I'm only half screwed if I can't get back to froyo. Does Titanium keep app settings as well?

EDIT- I gave up trying to get my Froyo restored. I tried everything, wiped everything 10 times, so I am just gonna stick with my Gingerbread and redownload my apps. I didn't have much to begin with, some settings might just be a pain. Also did my husband's EVO :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
Yes it does keep app settings.

So about getting back to froyo.

You go into recovery, then nandroid, then restore, then pick the only one there, and it doesnt work??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r.storm85:
Cool, good luck :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xelestial:
Yep, I went back and tried to restore to my backup and it would say everything is restored ok, then I would reboot and it would just go back to recovery. However when I restored using my new Gingerbread restore, it would be fine and boot up when I rebooted it. I'm guessing it was a bad backup? Guess I should save multiple backups from now on?

Luckily I only had about 10-20 apps, that phone being new, and all my data was safe, so it wasn't too bad and I was able to use Titanium to save my husband's many, many apps and settings.

I'm in the process of removing the bloatware off our phones now. I'm going to leave the process I found to any half newbies wondering how to do it. I hate it when I lurk and find a thread on Google that helps me figure out half of it. And thanks a lot r.storm85 for all your help!

Process to remove bloatware for those who need it: *at your own risk, wouldn't remove anything like Friendstream app, news or weather or mostly anything really deeply integrated...Google for a safe list* These are not my instructions, just some I found on the Android forums:

download the Android SDK .... in command prompt type..

1. cd c:\android-sdk-windows\tools

2. adb shell

3. su

4. mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

5. cd /system/app

6. ls

you'll see a list of all the apps that are installed on your phones and now you ask yourself "which apps do i need to remove and how do i remove them?" ..

to remove an app you type "rm appname.apk" and "rm appname.odex" on 1.5 based ROMs' ..

on all 2.1 based rom's all you do is type "rm appname.apk" ..no need to remove .odex because they're not on 2.1 ..

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonya1g:
I am a complete n00b as you can see. After having my MT4G for 4 months now (my first smarphone) I rooted and flashed it like a week ago. I read a lot before rooting it because I didn't want to mess up my phone (yeah, I now laugh about it too). It was an incredible boost in performance. I finally saw the light, if you know what I mean. But yesterday I loaded my phone with smartass' 1.4 kernel and I don't even know what a kernel is. I see people saying how cool this new kernel is and I don't see a goddamn difference in performance. I thought that the ROM was virtually 'everything'. Now I am posed with the question, what is the difference between a kernel and a ROM? Or what do each do?

I guess this question has been asked many times before, if so, just point me to where I can get an answer and delete this thread.

Thanks in advance!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PD150000:
ROM (read only memory): Is stock(carrier/manufacture)/custom(XDA) version of Android OS which can differentiate in flavor (AOSP, Sense, MIUI, ect) depending on developer. You can allocate ROM and start it from NAND, SDCard or RAM itself.

Kernel (software): Is the heart or central core of the OS and act as the bridge between hardware and software. It has built in the base code for driver models, memory/process/security management, network stack that is needed by the OS to function.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionic7:
Why would you flash a kernel not knowing how to use it or what it is, that seems like a bad idea in general
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
To put it in car terms like faux does in his thread. A kernel is like the engine/ drivetrain, is what makes the whole thing run. The Rom is the rest of the car.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
There ya go, straight from the best of kernels.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonya1g:
Wow. Thanks for the insightful and fast reply (mine was not). Seems like I got it all wrong!

I know it wasn't a good idea to flash a ROM or kernel when you don't even know what you are doing, but I just trusted you, the devs, on this one. I'll keep on reading more about it although I prefer answers from fellow "forumers" than Wikipedia or the likes.

I installed cyanogenmod 7 on my droid and the boot logo changed to cyanogenmod one. I want to change it back to the DROID with the eye. I thought that logo was very cool. Is there a way to do that?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
Replace the CM7 bootanimation.zip in /system/media folder with the one you want

or

push the droid eye bootanimation into the /data/local folder.

Both ways work.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] bob265:
Can I do this with Astro??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sileshnair:
I have not used astro, but you need root permission to push it into /system/media. I use root explorer.

You can use astro to push it into /data/local.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] magiman7:
Astro cannot do it without have superuser permissions.

I'm looking for Beta testers running a deodexed 3.0 ROM to try out my latest mod, this is NOT for 3.1 users!

What is it? It's an experiment to see if I could add an option to reboot into recovery in the power off screen that appears when you long press the power button.

I don't like having to do the Power & Vol -, Vol + thing so I created this instead.

It comprises of nothing more than a modified framework-res.apk from PRIME! 1.3r2

I have successfully tested on both PRIME! v1.3r2 and MoDaCo's Hr5 but have a ROM ready on your sdcard just in case you experience any issues.

I'm looking for feedback as to whether this works ok and whether it is a useful feature. Currently it is only available for 3.0 ROMS but may be ported to 3.1 at a later date.

Once it's ready I'll be doing a guide detailing how the mod was achieved.

1) is ur phone root?

2) whether I got busybox

So I made a foolish thing of installing Busybox again.

(Somewhere I read that custom roms use their own busybox and there is no need to install other version cuz it leads to boot loop), and Yes the boot loop started on my phone with an error that System force close.

Now my X10 is not detecting my sd card, + Xrecovery is not opening no matter how long I press the back key, + The flash tool is not flashing any firmware to my phone saying TURN ON PHONE AND CHECK USB DEBUGGING IS ON., I turned it on, but it still asks me do that.
