I'm using the current radios and current hboot that I posted above. I'm also using the smelkys mod 4.3 recovery, It is very nice. The only problems I ran into with the builds here were mostly my own doing. I didn't read the posts about mason not running with the last couple of nightlies. So I had to reflash there. Also, I don't think my evo likes ext. 4 very much. I went back to ext. 3 and am now running the 6-1 nightly and it is as smooth as silk. everything is working very well. as far as the radios goes, I really don't know if it matters but over in the sensation forum, they seem to think it does on ICS. But they did mention that it needs to be done in advance of flashing the rom, not afterwards. I'm no expert, just repeating what I read. hope that guy gets a recovery that works for him.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ianmb:
The dropbox link is for you to try its smelkus mod amon ra recovery... the PC36IMG zip. Let me know if it helps!

---------- Post added at 10:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------

You could try that if you have to but let's try other things before you do. What build of this ROM where you on? Updating hboot may help...but was this the first ics ROM you flashed? What where you running before this? Obviously something on your current version of this ROM screwed with your recovery.

I was just confirming there were no issues with 5/25 for me... Some had posted they did have issues...

I only mentioned use of rc1 because most are using rc3 with the 5/25 builds and after using both I found better battery life for me with rc1.

Anyone that took the time to read first before posting would see the many many..... Did I say many posts on why mason won't work... :-)

I appreciate the response, just hoping to inspire the few that ask silly questions which were answered the Page before... Then again... Those are the ones that wouldn't be reading this.... :-)

ICS has come a long way... At the beginning of the year we were happy just to flash and use the phone... Now we are back to being picky about netflix and 4g.... LOL...

Great job to all that have had a hand in making CM9 so much more than just "stable". It rocks! Dedication = quality here for sure!

Thanks for the help. the version of this rom i flashed was "2-20120525-update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-supersonic-UNOFFICAL-signed" I had been on it for about 12 hours. I also thought about updating the Hboot since the recovery would never boot. Are there any good tutorials on that? I want to thank you again for all the help you have offered.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmz:
New experimental posted. you better say it boots or else

Else meaning, I guess back to work on it....lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] ianmb:
Not that I've looked at but I'm positive there is . I've never had to upgrade my hboot .

May a wave of donations come your way for all your hard work. I know what its like being up all hours of the night beating your head against the wall wondering what you could do different. Of course I'm a mechanic but the frustration can be the same. Take a day to yourself then come back to it with a fresh mind and I bet you will get it.

You can upgrade your ext, but you will lose apps. (if you're datasd and cachesd, you'll lose those too).

Ext3 has given no issues, btw. Good luck!

Well just got off work and experimental number 6 is building right now. I found my old manifest so this build should work in theory. About 30 mins. Will post when uploaded
[EVO 4G Android Development] ianmb:
So if I have my apps and data saved with TB after upgrading to ext3 they can be easily restored or should I wipe everything except SD upgrade to ext3 then reflash this ROM then restore apps and data? Thanks for the help!

[EVO 4G Android Development] ben.nesheim:
@jmztaylor twitter feed is cool but links for roms are showing 404 just thought i'd mention thanks man
[EVO 4G Android Development] otroguero:
I don't use TB enough to tell you if it'll put the apps back correctly. That would involve symlinks (which is beyond TB) or rerunning a2sd script if they are placed in .android_secure. Here is my advice - if you're restoring, get ROM flashed first. Only restore apk's (data restore has a tendency to be problematic). a2sd script, fix perms, manually restore data. Personally, I install everything fresh everytime. Takes a LOT longer, but there are almost never mysterious probs. The only thing I backup between flashes is SMS and docs. No settings or data of that nature - only static data. Not to make more work for you, but cleaner install is smoother rom.

Anyone else with TB/a2sd exp plz chime in!

Good luck Ian! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmz:
yup...thanks man. fixed that issue...will be right when this build finally gets done...it is taking forever for some reason
[EVO 4G Android Development] otroguero:
Just curious Jmz, is this build containing commits from CM gerrit 6/2 through current?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmz:
Yes it is synced to cm gerrit from a couple hours ago
[EVO 4G Android Development] MattMatt0240:
1: So, when you compile these builds, they are as current as the latest nightly by CM? (at the time of build of course)

2: Would you consider the later nightlies to be safe to flash over previous without a full data wipe?

3: You are awesome! Ever since the day i heard of ICS, my first thought was CM9. Ever since then it has been bad news for us EVO users that don't wanna face it being considered an outdated device. Through all the ICS builds up til i heard of this, this is what I've been waiting for. Just want to show my appreciation and, please, keep up the hard work

I've been running nightlies from 5-25 up to the experimentals, read before-hand and seen people had issues so I didnt try them. Love the work thus far, great job

THANKED x1,000
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmz:
Yes my build script syncs with cm repo then builds. So a nightly is up to date within an hour or two

[EVO 4G Android Development] jmz:
just an update....2 jackasses decided they want to overload the buildbox with building their roms without thinking of other people. so that made my build take 1 1/2 hours and not even half done. With that said I booted my linux box and building using my comp. so ~40mins and it will be up.....

Thanks to jmztaylor for working on this. I tried a few different distros of ICS a couple months ago and was forced to go back to CM7.2 which is obviously a great ROM.

I hope this doesn't end up being one of those stupid questions but I was running this rom, the one that came out & had to be flashed with the new evervolv gapps. I just installed the maz-woz beta 6 & I flashed the new gapps & had constant reboots. On goo it lists the current gapps as the 4/29. So I'm wondering if anyone has tried flashing any of these experimental releases with the other gapps.

I'm new to this party but I'm use to alphas and prealphas and inflicting them on my testers (not android).

5-experimental is a nogo for me. After the white HTC screen it died on the black screen before the splash. Never saw the animation splash. Rebooted back to recovery and restored to 20120601 and it's back.

Just flashed 5-25 milestone. GPS does not appear to be working for me. I have a GPS fix that I used for GB AOSP. Will that work on this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jdgiotta:
Yes
[EVO 4G Android Development] dezaras6:
so, I know that its not the roms fault, and random things happen to us all sometimes, but going on day 4 i think after flashing this, and still no phone, all I have is bootloader, no recovery. Things I have tried to no avail

1. reinstalling the recovery via the .img and .zip methods installing on 2 different freshly formatted sd cards. I used multiple versions of amon-ra, cwm, and twrp. the loader does find the pc36img file on the card and then sucessfully completes the update, but will not boot to any recovery after this. I have tried clearing the phone data out during this process as well.

2. reinstalling a full rom using same methods as in number 1.

3. updating hboot and radio (via ruu) bootloader does reflect new radio version number, so those appear to take.

4. reinstalling entire phone via the ruu method. the program and drivers work ok, the phone switches to the black htc screen and the process completes without error, but does not help phone.

All I get is phone comes on, shows white screen, goes black, vibrates once, then white screen, repeat...

does anyone have any ideas that I may have not tried? I am posting here, because this did not start until I had started setting up this rom on my phone, always do a complete wipe and start from scratch when i flash because i keep very little software on the phone itself (my tablet gets used more often). I am not necessarily convinced its the rom, but it seemed like the best place to start. Thanks to all who have been helping me thus far. i really appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] reggiedarden:
Tried the fix but still no luck. Is there another fix you would recommend?
[EVO 4G Android Development] otroguero:
Look into an update.zip format. That (I believe) will rewrite recovery sectors. The wrong update.zip could unroot or s-on your phone. That's where I'd go (cautiously) next. Good luck.

If it were me, I would start over. did you verify the MD5 after you downloaded the 5-25? I have that running on my kid's evo and it has one hiccup only. if she turns it on with the charger plugged in, she gets stuck on the splash screen. she just takes the cord out first now and then turns it on and it boots every time. Her gps, maps, navigation are all working. I think you got a bad download. Her recovery is the amon ra 3.11 and the sd card is on ext. 3 Hope this helps.

[EVO 4G Android Development] cityneversleepz:
some guys just never give up! But sometimes a break works wonders. Anyway, I am running that last "good build" and it is good enough. I really don't want to wipe it to tell you the truth. I do have what might be a dumb question though. I got the 6-1 and gapps 4-29, but I am picking up a drift about this evervolv gapps. I found the link, but what do I gain by flashing it? can I flash it over the existing gapps or do I need to reinstall the 6-1 too?

Yeah, I'm going to hang around here for a while. I like this place.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmz:
best part about here is you will never find arrogance :)...lol...anyways... if your gallery is broken then install evervolv gapps...if not don't worry about it. nothing to gain.

What rooted roms have you tried? Besides this one. I take it you have went back to stock rooted rom. Positive you are s-off right? Have read somewhere about "bad blocks" in phone internal memory affecting recovery but you would think if you flashed thru bootloader it would fix it?

So after you flash recovery img in bootloader you choose to open recovery and it nothing at all happens? Let me do some searching and try to help further! Hang in there!

Try going to themikmik.com and asking for help over there too...those guys are f-n brilliant...no offense to anyone here they have helped me before with somewhat similar problem

I tried the stock rooted rom built into the ruu i downloaded. The phone still shows s-off (has throughout the process, and just rechecked to make sure).

correct, I hit bootloader, it finds the pc136.zip, asks to update, i choose yes, it shows "parsing", completes, and then asks if I want to reboot. I choose no, go down to recovery, which causes it to go black, and then to the white screen, and then vibrate once, then repeat. the only time anything different has ever happened is when i tried the "smelkus" mod of amon ra, after the white screen and before the vibrate, down at the bottom of the screen it shows the recovery's title for a second, and then goes black, and then to the white screen. That told me that it seems to be hanging at the point where either the recovery or the rom would start to load, but thats knowledge hasnt helped me any really.

Thanks again for the help, I will try mikmik's to see what might come up there.
