When you do a full wipe in Amon Ra it will show you everything it does as it does it. I always full wipe before restoring nandroids or switching from one type of ROM to another (Sense to Cyanogenmod to MIUI, etc) and restore apps & data using Titanium Backup because it seems to (almost always) work out the conflicts between the different ROMs. Cache & Dalvik wipe only for flashing a new kernel or an update to the same ROM. You can always try wiping as little as possible, but if you start getting crashes on the new ROM, that's a good sign that you need to full wipe before it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Grumpwagon:
I'm having a similar issue, although mine might be of my own making. Here's the situation so far:

I'm attempting to relock my launch day EVO 4g to bring to a Sprint store to repair a touchscreen that registers phantom taps. I rooted it quite a while ago using, I believe, toastcfh's method. I'm on hboot 0.93. I attempted to follow the instructions in this thread. I assumed I was safe doing this because the thread is still active, and the OP is still answering questions.

I skipped the unrevoked forever instructions, since I haven't done that, transferred the linked file and attempted to flash it. It had 8 steps (see 6:14 in this video video): Radio_v2, boot, recovery, system, userdata, microp, splash, wimax. I looked away after the first one came back OK, and when I looked again, it was back at the bootloader main screen (fastboot, recovery, clear storate, simlock, hboot usb). The video says that if it completes successfully that you should be able to hit volume up, and the phone will reboot. My phone didn't get to that point. I do not appear to be able to flash the given PC36IMG file again (it checks the file, then drops back to the main bootloader screen again.

Rebooting the phone goes back to the bootloader instantly. It appears that the unroot method has turned S-ON, and done nothing else.

Here is the information on that screen:

Supersonic EVT2-3 Ship S-on

hboot-0.93.0000

Microp-041f

Touch Panel-Atmel224_16ab

Radio-2.15.00.11.19

Jul 23 2010,16:41:47

Important information: I can get into ClockworkMod Recovery (v5.0.2.2). I have a computer with an SD card reader, so I can get files onto the SD card easily. I believe I can flash ROMs from Clockwork. The only thing I tried to flash so far was the file that came in the unrooting post, but that failed because of the clockwork 3 switchover. My normal instinct in these situations would be to go find a new rom and flash away, but following my instinct got me into this situation, so now it's time to ask for help. My goal is to get the phone unrooted, on a stock sense rom. Any other information available on request. Help (and thanks in advance)!

-----------------------------------------

Then, after I posted that, I tried to flash the non-rooted ROM from this thread.

I attempted to flash this in ClockworkMod, and I'm getting the following error:

assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img, "boot")

E:Error in /sdcard/supersonic_4.54.651.1.zip (Status 7)

Installation aborted.

I tried downloading the zip again, and got the same issue.

Thanks for any advice.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
wow. unrevoked is used with froyo (2.2) users, as you know it does not work with gingerbread, which is what this rom is, that may have something to do with it.

have you completely powered down? tried downloading a fresh pc36img file? i cant duplicate your problem since i am on revolutionary. have you tried a ruu???

Beta 5 Rom

Brad,

Just curious how the Beta 5 is coming along? I know you were sick, Hope you feel better. I decided to wait for your Beta 5 ROM instead of flashing again to 4.54.651.1

I am on 4.53 still.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
hi, your in the wrong thread, lol. beta 5 of sprint updated is up, this is the STOCK rom thread.

I was able to flash your odexed rooted rom from this thread, despite being S-On. So now the phone works, but I'm still not stock. Would it be worth running revolutionary to get s-off again, then trying your unrooted rom from this thread again?

EDIT: Actually, would revolutionary work because of how old my hboot is?

Can I flash a different camera to the doedexed version of this, by replacing the file and changing permissions??? Is the wireless hotspot unlocked of do i need to get wifitether app from the market?
[EVO 4G Android Development] NinjaWolf:
hmmm...seems like you have s-on, but no rom, correct. You have two options, option run is to run an ruu which will do all the work for you but you will lose cwm recovery and hboot will be updated, which means youlle need to reroot when you get your device back, or option 2(better for you situation) is to root you device again and follow this thread(link) and while this changes you recovery to amon-ra, amon-ra is better anyway and you can change it back when you device is repaired. Also, this option allows you to keep your hboot.

hope this works for you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Grumpwagon:
I really appreciate your help, but there is no link in your post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:

Ok will do. system/app is where the apk would go correct?

do you think the unlock hotspot hack will work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
yes. the default is htccamera.apk

it should work on deodex'ed versions of stock roms?

Is there a place to grab just the stock kernel for this version. I've flashed to freedom and want to go back and check some things. Is it still the same as the one in the stock kernel thread. 2.3.3??? I always have the hardest time finding these stock kernels when I want to go back. thanks

I'm confused maybe someone can help me out here, I was rooted through unrevoked on 2.2, couldn't get the OTA 2.3 update to go through, so I ended up flashing Version 4.22.651.2 De-Odexed from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1038701 and I'm on 2.3.

Then doing some searching I came across this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319881 so I flashed to the 4.54.651.1 Deodex'ed.

Looking into things a bit further my radio/wimax and such could be updated, then I discovered I 1. Couldn't really get to the bootloader (power on, hold vol down) and when I finally managed it it says I'm currently running hboot 2.10 and I have s-on, but I do have root, I can use titaninum backup, and wifi tether...

How do I fix this? get the s-off and do I want hboot 2.15/2,16? or how do I flash the radio updates with s-on?

So freakin confused right now! I was going to try to root it with Revolutionary but the beta key only lets me select hboot 2.15/2.16.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
not in the stock rom, the purpose of it is to be as stock as possible for dev's to use it as a base for their own projects, also with the flashable zip an arms length away as a download on this site, it's easy for the end user to add it.

I can't install the update only ZIP file either. Just boot into recovery and choose install ZIP from SD, right? I've tried CWM 5.0.2.2, CMW 2.5.0.7 and RA 2.3. All give the same error message reported by others. Those of you who have been successful, what version of recovery did you use?

I guess I'll edit this post to ask...if manually running the update is ok, would it also mean simply running the OTA is ok?
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
in my tests i was on amon ra 2.3. i assume your rooted, on the 4.53 stock? odex or deodex'ed?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ToddlerTN:
Yep, rooted and running 4.53 stock deodexed.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
hmm. i'ma little under the weather so i am trying to relax, i am gonna test a few things early tomorrow, can try testing again, now is just backing up data and just flashing the whole 4.54 deodexed rom an option for you?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ToddlerTN:
Yeah it's cool, I'm self-supporting, just wanted to report it in case others go nuts trying to get it to work. I would wonder if the MU upload is corrupt, but I believe someone reported they were able to run it without issue.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ToddlerTN:
Some additional info. Even accepting the OTA update wouldn't work for me. I accepted it, figuring I can fix it even if I get borked. It rebooted and gave me the Andriod triangle-warning-exclamation thing. I ended up installing your deodexed ROM over mine and that worked fine, just wiped cache and Dalvik. Installed the latest Superuser (3.0.6) from recovery along with the tethering and disable USB debugging notification hacks that worked on the previous version (I think they have worked since 4.24.651.1). If it's relevant info, my HBoot is the old 0.97 version. There must be something in common among those who can't install the OTA update. At any rate, many thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
sorry you had problems, glad your all up and running!
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:

I have updated the stock roms to include as many of the app updates from the market since i made the rom, as well i have taken out CIQ. a few minor tweaks, but that's it. Odex version, deodex'ed version up now.
[EVO 4G Android Development] inw55555:
Hi

I flashed 4.54.651.1 deodexed with full wipe (data, cache, and dalvik-cache), boot fine. But every times after the screen locks, I have the problem with brightness. It's so dim. I almost can see anything. If I reboot my evo4g, the bright comes back like normal. I tried evo-deck 1.3, I have no problem with the brightness but I can get video call on skype and can not get any auto focus on camera app.

I think the kernel that comes with stock rom is missing some drivers for the screen. I would like to know if you have some recommend for the kernel that i should use. Also what kind of this stock rom is? Is it AOSP or Sense Rom? I am still noob.

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
It is a stock,sense kernel. As it is a stock rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] inw55555:
The Froyo that came with the phone and then rooted it. I don't have any problem with the screen dim. It has this Kernel version: 2.632.17-gee557ffd htc-kernel@and18-2 #15. The question i have is if it possible to use old froyo's kernel on the new gingerbread rom. If it can, how can I flash the new rom and keep the old kernel.

thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
I don't think so? I never tried changing kernels to an older one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] misery in motion:
First I want to say thank you brad for this release. Second, I wanted to report my experience with brad's release.

I finally decided to update to the latest release. I was running NinjaWolf's 4.53.651.1 De-Odex'd release before now.

The only oddity I have to report is that flashing the De-Odex'd version of the updated (11.19.11) release completely wiped my phone. All settings, apps, etc. The only thing I personally cleared was the cache and dalvik-cache.

My experience with previous stock ROM releases by NinjaWolf and xHausx never caused this to happen. All my settings and apps have always been preserved.

I'm not sure why it caused a data wipe but fortunately for me it was not really a big issue. I always backup important info/data/etc. It's only slightly frustrating due to the extra time I have to spend to get things back to the way they were.

There were actually two things that were untouched. My custom splash screen, and my edited service tag (normally says Sprint, changed with CDMA Workshop).

I also want to mention it did not effect my root or S-OFF. Those both remained just fine, as well did my recovery (Amon_Ra).
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
thanks for writing about your experience. i will double check the rom, as i do not think i touched the setting for it to erase the phone's data, but i will double check.
[EVO 4G Android Development] misery in motion:
I'm interested to know what the verdict is. I'd like to know if it was the ROM. If it's not, I have no idea how the wipe occured.

Oh, and also wanted to mention I noticed the ROM wiki thread hasn't been updated with your release yet. Might wanna do that. :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
updated the wiki, thanks for the reminder! as far as the wipe issue it seems the rom could have wiped it? i have 2 different versions of the rom, and the kitchen says it does not wipe, but i used two different kitchens (one in windows, one in linux) so i will re check everything, and if it shows it might have to my satisfaction, i will update the OP.

[EVO 4G Android Development] washere:
Just as an FYI, I had the exact same problem with the odex'd version. I tried it several times (doing NAND backup and restores inbetween), and I am sure this is the case. As misery said, I jsut wiped Dalvik, and regular cache. I would really like to use your ROM since I can't seem to find any other way to get to to 4.54. (I did manage to get to 4.53, but the update fails since I have removed a few stock apps, and added a couple of upgrades to to the system partition to save space.)
[EVO 4G Android Development] misery in motion:
Anyone running a custom kernel with this lastest rom? If so, which are you using? I'm considering getting away from the stock kernel even though I have no complaints about it.

If I'm happy with the performance of my evo and satisfied with the battery life, should I even bother switching to a custom kernel? Any input would be appreciated.

Flashed... but... data wiped

For what it's worth I flashed the odex version and my data was also removed.

Usually if I clear dalvik cache and format the cache I'm able to flash on top of the older version stock ROM and retain info, but in this case it flashes I just lose everything.

I tried it a few times but same result each time.

Thanks

Battery Problems

Thanks for a great ROm. My issue is that after flashing this ROM and fully charging my phone after I make 1 phone call my battery life drops to about half. It was not like this before. I was running the stock 2.3 rooted. any help is appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] brad560:
the updated rom has the sbc kernel, which is trickling if i am correct?? i do not know if this is good or bad for the evo in general, i am not a battery expert lol, but of course make sure your sync settings and such are correct? you were at 100 percent before the call?
[EVO 4G Android Development] misery in motion:
I think it's clear both the odex and deodex versions are set to wipe since several of us have reported this now. :) I think it's safe and probably wise to change the OP to state flashing either ROM will cause a data wipe and to prepare accordingly.

In my opinion it's a wise idea to wipe everytime before a flash anyway no matter what you are coming from, even if it's considered safe not too. I've had problems in the past where it was stated safe not to wipe, and then doing a wipe resolving those problems. It's just good "business".

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say it's not the ROM. I've been rooted since Froyo and have been updating to each new stock rooted ROM as they are released. I've not once had any issues with the battery acting strange.

My suggestion is to clear your battery calibration settings through recovery. If you're using RA-supersonic like myself; it's under the wipe menu at the bottom. Wont hurt to at least give it a try.

Open the rom in 7zip.

Find the updater script in the meta folder and right click and hit edit.

Should open in notepad or similar.

Take out the lines that say format system and format data.

File and save.

Close note pad.

Click replace when 7zip asks you.

Move to sd card and flash as normal.
