I didn't try what you said yet, but i want to add to this.

I saw that it was at S-On in the bootloader so I went to sprint repair center (unfortunately the Tech wasn't there). The guy at the desk said all he can do is try what he can without taking it apart. He brought it in the bootloader and did the clear storage which he said did a factory wipe. So when he did it, it boots into the ROM but it isn't the "factory" settings. its the SOS rom that was on the phone, which has Go launcher installed and he said get rid of that because it causes problems. He then looked and said Superuser is installed and that means the phone is rooted so my warranty will be voided, so since it is booted up he said to look up how to unroot so I can get my phone warrantied if any other issues come up.

Well I took off and rebooted the phone and it went back to the 5 vibrates mode. I did the clear storage again and it comes back. This was also done with NO SD in the phone, I tried with one installed and the clear storage "wipes" but then when it does the reboot it turns back to the diagnosis mode/5 vibrates. Because of this, I can't even use rom Manager to try to put CW Recovery on it because you need an Sd installed. I also tried just to see what would happen, i did the reboot into recovery and that just does the 5 vibrates.

I also tried to factory wipe from the Storage/SD in settings but that also brings back SOS not the sprint settings.

So since I can at least find a way in the Rom, any suggestions on fixes within the ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
You need to be S-OFF or have an unlocked bootloader to flash the misc partition, which is likely what needs to be done to normalized your device.

If your radio is version 2.15.00.11.19 or older, and you can boot into recovery (it'd have to be through HBOOT), then you can flash unrevoked forever to try and S-OFF. Otherwise, you'll have to flash the latest RUU, unlock your bootloader w/HTCDev (or you can try temp-rooting with TacoRoot) so you can get the misc partition flashed from the eng img.

Current ROM (BootManager Slot 5): MikG v3.11 w/Gradient Theme - Kernel: Underworld-v0.1-SBC-ca1ne
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nesiop:
Can't boot to recovery. If I go into the Bootloader (white screen from the Volume down power) and select Recovery, it reboots but then does the 5 vibrate/led.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
In that case, you're back to the original method I posted.

When your phone does the 5 vibrates when trying to reboot into recovery, you'll have to pull the battery - but when you replace the battery and power the device back on, make sure you hold the volume down button to ensure you boot directly into the bootloader (or it might actually boot into recovery). You'll probably have to do that any time your device needs a reboot into HBOOT or recovery.

Once you get the misc partition normalized, everything should get back to normal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
If you never saw the thread, where did you get the Recovery? I thought we pulled it from our website and we didn't tell anyone else they could host it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Nesiop:
No, I meant I didn't see the thread at the point of it being edited to say that it is bricking the Evo's. When I got it/and used it, the OP didn't have that in there.

Obviously I saw this thread in the first place to know about this style recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] monkeychef:
So I'm assuming there won't be any more progress on this recovery? Its a bummer because I liked Goomanager and the integration.
[EVO 4G Android Development] monkeychef:
Alright, so I went to the IRC and got the latest build from a helpful guy. I have been using it for a few hours now running through things and nothing seems to be borked. Just my personal experience, but just an update on the recovery.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Dees_Troy:
Just a warning, we have done nothing that we believe would mitigate the problems that occurred with previous EVO 4G builds. If you use that, you use it at your own risk. Note that I do not believe that the problems that occurred previously will affect all EVO 4Gs, only some, but it is still AT YOUR OWN RISK! I don't recommend it if you can't afford a brick. Note also that the bricks were not instant, they occured after multiple flashes, so just because it works once doesn't mean that you're safe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
Just note, the brick issue has not been identified and could still be present.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Novarider:
Do you have a list of future devices?
[EVO 4G Android Development] 94tbird:
mine also fails to wipe at times. I had to run the wipe about 8 different times over 2 reboots to finally get it to wipe. also cauklins format all script doesnt work, something about a invalid md5, even though i told it to ignore md5. It flashed ok in TWRP 1.1.

other than that works beautifully, and i am loving it!!!! Great work guys!
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluezr1:
Awesome job, I tried it out last night and didn't want to ever go back. Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work with firerat. I searched around and couldn't find anything. Does anybody know of a way of getting firerat to work with this recovery? I tried it with version 1.1 and it didn't work either and was hoping it would work with 2.0.

Besides that, this recovery is the bomb.

Thanks teamwin for bringing this to our phones. I donated a few days ago through PayPal but through the wife's name (long story). :)

Thanks again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ViViDboarder:
First, thanks for the donation.

Second, I'm going to assume they are using the old scripting versions in their zips if they aren't working. Make sure he's upgraded to Edify scripting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluezr1:
I'll look into it, thanks for the reply and again for bringing it to our phones. I always felt like I was going to wear out my volume rocker before, not anymore. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crsdr37:
I thought I would wear out the volume rocker and the power button. So +1 there

[EVO 4G Android Development] bluezr1:
No I don't, I didn't know one existed. Now that I know its possible I'm going to look further into this until I get it working.

Thanks a million bud, I thought for a moment there that it would never work. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] coffeehandle:
Yeah I was worried about the same thing. I randomly stumbled upon one and was so happy. It's all I good flasher needs. A format all and FR
[EVO 4G Android Development] Crsdr37:
any news on the ext3 partitions. Or do I have to format my SD card and do it with this recovery
[EVO 4G Android Development] bluezr1:
I found one, thanks again.

Off to try this out.. :)

Yep that's what I found too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] coffeehandle:

Don't reformat using this recovery doesn't help I spent a couple hours last night doing all of that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jcorey:
I flashed TWRP via the PCIMG36.zip method and booted into it without trouble. I made a nandroid backup of my existing setup. Then flashed a ZIP upgrade of my ROM. Now, I'm stuck in a boot loop. So, I figured I'd go back to recovery and restore. The problem is it won't do that either. After picking recovery, it just reboots again and again.

I have tried reflashing 2.0 via fastboot, same thing. I tried going back to 1.1.1, and still only getting a boot loop.

After quite a bit of trying and retrying, the phone has managed to boot into recovery, but it says it was unable to mount the SD card. The card is fine and full of files in Windows. I later installed Clockwork recovery, and it too says it's unable to mount the SD. Quite odd.

After much searching, I found info on doing "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0". That got the SD card to mount and I hope I'm back to normal. Hope that helps anyone else that Googles for it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sry0fcr:
I had boot loops with the first 2 Roms I tried flashing (Jared's ICS and ICSMod), as mentioned earlier Calk's Format All no longer works and now my Home and Search capacitive buttons no longer work. I'm about to revert back to AmonRa to see if that helps the button issue. I did eventually get the ROMs to boot after rewiping and reflashing a couple times.

Okay just flashed the AmonRa IMG and restored my nandroid and my buttons work again. I'll donate on payday so you guys can do a little more work on it before I change over.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Kchitown1977:
i noticed vr superwipe dosent work either
[EVO 4G Android Development] monkeychef:
Thank you both for clarifying.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dees_Troy:
We've done some private testing on the Supersonic / EVO 4G recently. So far all testing has been good and there have been no bricks. We believe that the bricks were caused by a problem in the mtdutils source code that we were using in the 2.0.0 releases. We have updated this code to the latest available from the CM repos and that seems to have fixed the bricking. So, I'm going to open it up for public testing for anyone that's willing to take a chance. For your trouble you will get a recovery with a full touchscreen GUI, an on-screen keyboard, zip queuing, etc. Note that just booting the recovery was not what caused the bricks. I think it was restoring a backup that included boot.

If you try it, post if it's working for you or not.

http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/supersonic/openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1-supersonic.img

Fastboot instructions:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1-supersonic.img

Flash Image:

Put the image onto your sdcard

For adb, use: adb shell flash_image recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1-supersonic.img

From terminal emulator, su first then: flash_image recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.2.1-supersonic.img

Good luck!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Will this be added to GooManager for easy installation? I have no problem installing it through fastboot or HBOOT, but I'm just thinking ahead.

Thanks for keeping this alive! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dees_Troy:
If we can get enough people to test it and there are no bricks then we'll look at adding it to GooManager for automated installation. I don't want automatic installs at this point.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Soap:
I'd be interested in trying this, but only if its incredibly stable and approved by the community. I'll be watching.

22 downloads but no reports yet?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I was using 2.1.2 with no problems. I haven't really put the latest version through the paces yet. It did queue and flash a ROM & GApps with no problems.

I did have an issue trying to flash a ROM through GooManager, but that's because the sd card mount couldn't be found (in Evervolv JellyBean preview, /sdcard is symlinked from /storage/sdcard0). Any way to get that working without changing how the ROM mounts the sd card?

P.S. I might have downloaded it multiple times by accident :eek:.

[EVO 4G Android Development] andygu3:
I've only switched over to this recovery this morning, made a backup and flashed Digitalkarma's rom without issue. Really, no issue to speak so far but I will try a restore later this evening.

One thing I really like is the amount of information I see in recovery. From data backup space, wimax backup space, total backup space, battery percentage. Those things add a different feel to this recovery and nice added feature that's really nice, thank you

Edit: Nandroid restore works great, no troubles here. Thanks for the update:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I also just tried the Terminal, and I notice that when you type a line in, and get the output, you have to delete what you just typed to type something new. Is there any way to get it to automatically clear after input?

I assume that issue will exist on the Jewel version as well (haven't tried that feature yet on this device).

P.S. This recovery really is cutting edge. I don't suppose there's any way to support accelerometer rotation (I assume that would require very specific drivers and a lot more additional coding by device, if it's possible at all). Just wondering if it was being considered.

P.P.S. Is there any way to hide the soft keys, since the device has capacitive buttons? (it'd be nice to do this on the Jewel too, but I again assume that'll be more trouble than it's worth for you guys, probably).

[EVO 4G Android Development] Dees_Troy:
A swipe left on the keyboard deletes everything to the left of the cursor. Not quite automated but sometimes it's nice to keep the previous command both for reference and in case you just want to make a small modification to the previous command.

It would be fairly easy to hide the soft buttons. I'll think about it.

2.2.1 works for me. flashed some stuff through goomanager. no problems. thanks!

Having issues flashing through flash image GUI, don't know how to use other methods. I'll try to find out how to do it through terminal.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Are you using the latest version of Flash Image GUI? I was able to flash it with no problem that way. If you rename the file to start with "recovery" rather than "openrecovery", the older version should flash it fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] evopanop:
This recovery is working awesomely for me so far! :) Thanks a bunch for all of your hard work. I'm really glad this is up and running on the EVO now - I was getting jealous of my friends that had this Recovery on their EVO LTE. :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] monkeychef:
I just downloaded it from the market. I tried your fix and it didn't work. Am I supposed to clear cache or something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I don't know what to tell you. You should still be able to flash it through fastboot. Or, create a PC36IMG.zip to flash it that way.
[EVO 4G Android Development] monkeychef:
I downloaded a different recovery, replaced the image in the .zip with TWRP, and I got to parsing that way. I will load up AMON_RA in the morning and attempt to flash the zip through that and see what happens.

I noticed in your approved devices that the Sprint EVO was not listed. I wanted to give this a go, but wanted to check first to see if Sprint specific devices were particularly problematic.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Sprint devices are fine. I use this on my LTE.
[EVO 4G Android Development] nc_carol:
done! used Flash GUI and so far so good. I didn't fool around with it much.. just did a back up and rebooted into the system. Looks great!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dees_Troy:
I enabled the EVO 4G for automated recovery installs through GooManager, but I don't currently have a Supersonic on hand to test if the install works properly. It won't hurt anything if the install fails, but I can't confirm that the install will succeed either.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I'll check now. Thanks!

EDIT: Downloaded and installed through GooManager with no problems. Awesome work!
[EVO 4G Android Development] whiterider13:
I also gave it a shot with GooManager, and it downloaded and installed flawlessly. It did look like an older version though, 2.2.0 not 2.2.1. Thanks for supporting the OG4G again.

Yes. I had amon ra on my sd card and used the file explorer in this recovery to rename it to PC36img.zip. I then flashed via bootloader so I could restore a rom.

[EVO 4G Android Development] DEADCENTER:
Thank you TeamWin! Job Well Done

I was able to install the new version via GooManager with no problem. I started flashing roms just to try it out. So far so good. I just wish that GooManager can filter things out more easily for device specific. For example, If I was looking for an update for my installed rom or recovery it should populate the rom or recovery that is specific for that particular device. This way it would eliminate or lessen the errors for others to update or flash roms or recovery that's not compatible with their device.

I frequently visit XDA to educate myself and to find out new things but not necessarily log on. I just wanted to say that your team has done a phenomenal job with all the recoveries and updates that you guys have created.

If you didn't get it yet, in amonRAs thread OP he shows the commands for doing it thru terminal emulator (one of the easiest ways in my opinion (well, flash GUI MAY be easier, just never tried it). Good luck. I use this on my LTE and it's NICE. Glad to see they got it working on OG for everybody.

Also used Goomanager as flashing .img files through bootloader and flash image GUI didn't work. Goomanager did it correctly and I am very happy with the new recovery. Lots of improvements over the past TWRP versions, and also a lot more features than AMON_RA. Thank you so much TeamWin for not giving up on the OG.
[EVO 4G Android Development] bennyboy78:
So you can't just backup/restore "Rom" without backing up/restoring sd ext? Cause I have a backup of mikg before I was partitioned, and now I'm partitioned. Can I just restore to mikg without restoring sd ext? Or do I have to reflash it
[EVO 4G Android Development] Zzz73:
ok, i feel like i was passing myself off as smarter than i actually am. the advice about including sd-ext when backing up and restoring was given to me by a senior member of the forum when i was running into problems installing a ROM i was running a2sd on. i don't know the science behind it, but i do know since i have been backing up and restoring the sd-ext i haven't had a problem restoring a ROM again.

as far as trying to restore a backup from before you were partitioned, i dont personally know. so i bump to someone who actually knows what they're talking about... :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] bennyboy78:
Well... All seems fine after I restored to unpartitoned backup. Except for my apps on the other Rom are gone lol. I'm just going to reflash tho

Looks like Amon_Ra with a few tweaks. I can't find a full feature list comparing it to Ra (which it looks like it was forked from). But yea, we are proud. :) I wouldn't say "I" since I haven't really done anything myself since the early 1.x releases.

Any chance of a hybrid of the two; TWRP flash menu & touch ui with the wipe menu auto reboot of RA Smelkus?!!? :silly:
