[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocket999:
Ok here's the answers. You make a nandroid of your original setup. Then flash a ROM. If you don't like that ROM, then there is no reason to make a nandroid of it. You can just wipe and flash the next ROM. You only need nandroids of ROMs you want to keep or go back to. Make sense?

Ok MikG is probably the best sense ROM out there. You just missed some steps when you flashed it. You need to first backup your apps with Titanium backup. This is an app in the market. Then put the ROM on your SD card. Boot into recovery. Wipe data, cache, dalvik-cache, system, and boot. Then go to install zip and choose the file. Once it installs boot it up and let it settle for 10 minutes and reboot one more time. Finally restore your apps with titanium backup!

Let me know if that works for ya.

Also: The best recovery would be Amon-RA recovery. You download the file and make sure it in named correctly. When you boot into hboot it will ask if you want to install. Say yes
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camaro10:
This helps a lot actually.... thanks. I have a couple of questions. Where would I find the Amon-RA recovery file? I would download it to my sdcard, right? I will try this when I get home. I also backed up my apps already with another app.... when I tried to restore them using Titanium I couldn't. I also tried the app MyBack but the path was incorrect. I know the apps are on my sd card though. I made sure of that when rooting. I guess I need to ensure that the path is correct. Is there a way to rename nandroids? I assume from the sd card while connected to a pc. What other ROMS should I try? How do I remove bloatware? I apologize for the barrage of questions. Your help is definitely appreciated.

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

The Express B2.0 Sense 3.0 Landscape Rosie and Warm twopointthree seem like ROMS that I want to try. Are they fully functional? I hear some ROMS call for you to partition your sdcard. Not sure I want to get into that. It looks like I need to get a new sdcard as well... only working with 8GB.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxxdnne:
You can use your cpu, laptop, the cloud, flash drive, thumb drive.... to store your back ups. The recvery is called Amon Ra...i heard its the best for EVOs. Look in the Evo 4g general and look for ( not sure of the spelling) hipkat's guide to everything Evo. Lots of links for our phones and some good feedback.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocket999:
Go to the xda development forum and search for amon-ra. That will find it. Go download titanium backup. You can backup apps, restore apps, and get rid of bloat. To get rid of bloat just tap on the app in titanium and tell it to freeze it. YouTube it if you are unsure.

One more thing. Get an app called root explorer. It will let you see and edit all the files of your phone. Its a must have for root ed phones
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camaro10:
Thanks. I will get Amon RA set up when I get home. Can't wait to start flashing ROMs.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxxdnne:
Not a problem... if you go to HipKats Guide there is a link for Aman Ra and other goodies for the EVO...

Just remember..... always do a backup before flashing ANYTHING!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camaro10:
So is there a way to restore my apps since they are on my sdcard. Im guessing I have to use the same app that I used to backup my apps to restore them. I created a backup with App Backup & Restore I believe. Should I still be able to use Titanium to restore my apps this time around?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wporter78:
Question. I use a app called Rom toolbox pro that has roms that are flashable in it. Looking to flash cyanogen 7 but wondering whig version would be best(there's a bunch of them) and do I still need to boot into recover and wipe something before I flash it in?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camaro10:
From what I understand you always need to backup and wipe your phone because you want the phone to be as clean as possible for the new ROM to work to its potential.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wporter78:
Ok. I know this a really noob question,but can I do the backup right from Rom manager,than go into recovery and wipe,than install Rom or do I do it all from recovery? This is my first time flashing a Rom and want to make sure I do it right. Any suggestions on which Rom works best for a evo 4g would be greatly appreciated also.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You don't need to backup your phone every time I have one main backup that I use as an oh **** cya lol but yes do a wipe of cache, dalvik cache, data factory reset every time you wanna flash a new Rom the evo is honestly a tough beast lol she will treat you good if you treat it good there is a ton of guides and help all over though so start hunting

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTTKDKing:
I have an evo too and i've found that if you want to use clockwork then u wanna stay with the older version. 2.5.0.7 or something like that. The newer versions dont always format right. You can put ra on ur phone through rom manager too but this also makes rom manager not fully work anymore. In rom manager go to flash alternate recovery and select the latest version of ra if u want to use it. If u want to switch to the older version of clockwork than in rom manager go to 'all clockwork mod recoveries ' and flash that from there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wporter78:
Wow,I hunted down hipkats guide to everything evo. That's a lot of info. I got some serious reading to do before I continue on. My biggest concern is doing everything right and not turning my phone into a paperweight.

If you download Aman Ra, change the name to PC36IMG then place it on sd card. Boot into recovery and chose the flash from zip option... thats it.... your done. I will say that for me i did not have to rename it. When i downloaded it, it was already renamed....

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camaro10:
I was able to find the app that I used to back up my apps the first time. It was called app back up list. It kind of sucks because I had to download the apps one by one. I am about to back up my apps using Titanium as suggested before. Hopefully that is a quicker way to restore my apps. I am also looking into switching my recovery to Amon RA from CW. From what I've read it should be simple. Hopefully Amon RA provides a seamless way to flash ROMs. Thanks for the help.

When I installed the HTC-evo drivers I just downloaded them to my pc's desktop. Do I need to place them on the sd card? If so how should I go about this? Also, when do I need to mount my sd card as a drive and when should it be charge only? Should usb debugging always be on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camaro10:
When attempting to switch recovery to Amon RA from CW... the bootloader doesn't recognize the PC36IMG.zip file. It says no image or something like that. I made sure that the PC36IMG.zip file was on the root of my sd card. Does someone have a like for the PC36IMG.zip file?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpacePenguin98:
New Amon RA-style recovery for Evo 4g

After running into many issues with CW (which I'm sure you've run into as well), I set out to convert to Amon RA. During my search, I found there was a replacement for Amon RA based off it for the Evo 4G. (I can't post the link as I'm too new, but you can find it by searching the site for "Amon Ra Style Recovery for Supersonic"). In this new version, the capacitive back button works and you can use it to restore CW backups!

There is a link in that thread to a file that starts PC36IMG, which you can download, rename to PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard.

While I'm certainly no expert, I'll try to answer any questions (though I would turn to the thread above, since they are the experts).

I am attempting to flash from MikG 3.0 to Warm twopointthree. If I've never had a Warm ROM do I need to install Warm 2.0 first? Also I haven't changed my radio as of yet but may need to update based on the install instructions for Warm twopointthree. Will I need to switch back to my current radio if I want to go back to MikG 3.0?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You're fine to install 2.3. Also, you don't HAVE to update radios; they just say that so you can have the best radios at the time. Some people have better performance on older radios, but again, you're subjected to area.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Camaro10:
So if I decide to update radios later I'm guessing that wouldn't be a problem? The following install instructions say that it is a must to update the radios/wimax. Also Im guessing that if I decide to go back to MikG 3.0 it will work with the updates to wimax/radios..... or hoping at least.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxxdnne:
Just remember, if/when you do decide to flash radios, make sure your battery has sufficient charge. Hate to see your Evo become a shiny new brick...

Im just sayin...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Correct, it work if you later update the radios, and it'll work just as well if you go back to mikG 3.0 with update radios. Win-win situation.

TWRP Recovery has taken my phone hostage ...

I cant get back to clockworkmod and this TWRP will not flash any of the roms om my card. when i reboot it will not go past the MikG cartoon and stays stuck. I cant get the usb to find my phone either. :mad:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
You flash the PC36IMG from the bootloader, the white screen, not recovery. Turn off the phone > hold power and vol+down until a white screen shows up. It should prompt you for an update saying recovery > vol up for yes > reboot > hold vol+down > decline update > decline reboot > select recovery.

If you renamed your file to PC36IMG.zip the bootloader will automatically recognize your file and ask if you want to start the update. Hopefully you are trying to replace TWRP with Amon Ra 3.11.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intrlude:
So in the bootloader screen, you select recovery and you say that you are greeted with TWRP page? Isn't that what you were trying to accomplish? Okay, I think you're trying to flash a different recovery, is that correct? Is the zip file for the recovery you're trying to flash, on the root of your SD card, in other words not in a folder? That's where it has to be in order for the phone to see it when you first boot into bootloader. The phone shows those for choices you mention and then begins a check for an update zip, which has be named PC36100. When it sees it, it will ask if you want to update, volume up is to confirm.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
No, say YES to the update the first time, so it'll change. Say no the SECOND time, so you can then select recovery, then you'll be on CWM.

After using Pulse for a while I thought I would try out Feedly. However I am having problems with OAuth.

After installing the Feedly app onto my Bell Atrix, I gave Google my permissions to go through the OAuth process. When I try to access "My Feedly" the login is initialized but I receive the error message "OAuth Failed". When I access Feedly through a browser on my PC I have no problems logging in and connecting to my Google Reader. Also, when I add a Feedly widget to my phone home screen the OAuth seems to work as I can then access and add feeds from my Google Reader account.

I have a very basic understanding of how OAuth works, but as of right now I cannot see what my problem is. Now I ask for help from the good people here at xda.

When I plug my phone in, it charges a little bit, but then just entirely stops and I start losing percentage pretty quick. It did it with my verizon car charger and it's doing it on my usb charger and the wall charger. My battery just lasted 24 hours with moderate use, and now it's not charging. I don't think it could be the battery because it lasted so long the day before.

As for the icon, instead of it going red, orange, green when charging, it's just flashing between the percentage and the single color corresponding to the percentage.

Using a different cord did not help. I just did a battery pull when it was at 17 percent, and now I put it back in and it's at 1%?

It's done it to a few different roms so it's not rom specific. The problem just started yesterday so it was pretty sudden. Battery is stock.

I turned the phone off when it was at 45% last night and plugged it in. When I woke up this morning it was at 22% so I actually lost charge when the phone was turned off and charging? What in the world?

I just restarted it again and it's at 7%.. Galaxy Nexus please hurry.
