Couldn't get a shell while in recovery. Also couldn't get a shell while powered down.

Another odd thing: After doing a power off it booted into recovery.

Attached kmsg log after tapping all over the place. Oddly enough at one point all that tapping did attempt to format the device. Heh.

Edit:

Charging is definitely working in recovery.

I had the same question. Just run the Dev unlock. no need to run ruu to unroot.

hope that helps
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tgrgrd00:
Did you do the "Clear Google Wallet Settings" before you unlocked? Does your wallet still work after unlocking? Just curious because the issue seems to appear when you do a "reset" and I know the DEV unlock does a reset.

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] btbamzao:
Got unlock. Got root. Got cwm flashed. Select any option. Does nothing.

Edit: not sure what I flashed the first time lol, but I just ran a backup successfully! Sweet!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] weatheryoko:
Use the Volume Up/Volume Down keys to move up and down in Recovery. Use the Power button as the "enter" or select button.

Who's sucessfully flashed a ROM? Which one? I'm having problems. Thanks in advance.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pitch007:
Does anyone know if the LTE radio backs up like WiMAX used to, or if we should be worried about it getting corrupted like WiMAX did? Not that it matters too much right now here in OKC. We aren't even officially tier two for LTE rollout.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
If I remember correctly it's part of the CPU, or at least tags off of it. I believe that if that's the case, any type of encryption keys would be hardcoded.

Wimax was a separate chip and kept its key(s) on a separate partition on the ROM, so it could (sometimes NEEDED to) be backed up.

Of course I'm kinda talking out of my butt, but I believe I'm correct. No doubt someone will tell me forcefully if I'm wrong. ;)

Sorry all; I have to ask a couple of very noob questions (this is my 2nd Android Phone and I'm familiar with flashing via Recovery):

1) Just to confirm, this mod will allow the flashing of ROMs (.zip)

2) When using Terminal Emulator, does the command "reboot recovery" work for you? I get an error: Permission Denied.

The reason I ask: I was trying to flashing both ROMs listed here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1645890

and neither worked.

I appreciate any help/guidance/recommendations.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RegnierD:
Heads up, if you guys don't know this guy, watch out. He's a beast. Without him, the LG Revolution would have never gotten its recovery made, and little would have been possible on that abysmal phone without him. Dude is a straight boss.

Glad to see you on board over here, Cubed. Are you getting one of these?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RuckusDecay:
Well yeah but you will need to wait just a lil bit to get the minor details workout first they are testing as we speak. I'm pretty sure they'll come with some detail instructions on what to do its a completely new phone so they're testing the partitions.

Oh and terminal you need to granted "su" permission but still just wait a lil if your not that experience in whats going on right now.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] marvinlh:
U cant do much in recovery yet tho. Right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Yes you can. The new HTCdev unlock allows access to do almost anything. The radio is still s-on but you can do almost everything you need to with the current HTCdev unlock.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Yes just don't ruu. I have the fix included in viperROM, you just need to write it to the misc partition. I will post more info in the thread. I would still recommend TWRP for now since CWM hasn't been updated to fix the wiping misc issue.

I'm a idiot. I tried to flash CWM and did the steps on the OP but I was still S-on. Will that still mess up the misc partition?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
You're not going to be S-off until the devs work out a way to do that. And you're not an idiot, you're not permanently busted or anything. :)

HTC Unlock unlocks the bootloader to the point where ROMs can be flashed.

Now having said that, if you flashed CWM you've probably nuked your /misc partition..it's fixable though.

From Viper's thread (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26663638&postcount=45) (Credit to him, I'm just copying/pasting):

Edit:

Viper, this really should go into your OP, maybe. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
So did I mess it up?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Nope, you're fine.

Now what I would do is install TWRP, instead of CWM (Sorry to recommend another recovery in the CWM thread, folks...I don't normally do that kinda crap), because CWM at present has the /misc partition issue, and TWRP does not.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dsEVOlve:
It always seemed like the general consensus with the OG Evo was that CWM was more or less worthless and everyone should use AmonRa. I personally never had a problem but switched after countless posts where others expressed that sentiment. Why then is CWM always the go to recovery on new devices? More universally compatible or was the CWM build for the OG Evo just unreliable?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
CWM on the OG Evo was associated with problems when wiping (cache/dalvik/system/data). I never had a problem with it, myself, but the rumor was that it didn't properly wipe, which is what gave rise to the whole, 'make sure you wipe at least 3 times' thing (which is unnecessary).

As for why it's usually the 'first'...I'd guess it's because it's easiest to adapt, but I haven't looked at the various codebases for amon-ra/twrp/cwm/4ext so I can't honestly say.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] markbo2000:
It is my understanding that CWM is based on the original recovery, and that would make sense as to why it is easy to adapt.

I personally never switched recoveries, even on my 3D. It has always performed flawless for me. Love CWM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
I have no real preference in terms of functionality. I find TWRP less clunky (especially since it's a touch interface)...but the main issue is that as of right now CWM is broken and shouldn't be used until it's fixed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shook187:
I never had this problem till I flashed CWM but when I power down while I'm on the charger it goes into bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
That's weird. I didn't have that problem even when I using CWM...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] maxdamage2122:
No further work on CWM? CWM has always been my go to recovery so I'm not stopping that now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] maxdamage2122:
Wrong thread? This is CWM not TWRP
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] WalleO:
the problem is i dont know what caused it. it could have been before i installed the custom recovery
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
It's a known issue and listed as such on the thread. It's also been fixed. If you go post in the right place you would if seen it. Cwm is broke. For now. Make sure you fix your /misc if you flashed cwm

http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Good eyes, no idea though. Awaiting a response from koush. Can someone flash the latest build (preferably both, but even 1 would be good), tell us what version, and check /misc? You can verify /misc by typing:

su
strings /dev/block/mmcblk0p23

You should get some info back like mainver and some others. If you just get back...

FNOC
FNOC

then you /misc is still borked. Please report back, thanks :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lancemoreland:
I had TWRP installed and ran

su

strings /dev/block/mmcblk0p23

and got

FNOC

FNOC

Then I flashed CWM 5.8.3.5 and ran the above with the same results.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] maxdamage2122:
Did you ever fix your /misc partition?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdogg836:
Did you previously flash an older CWM Recovery, or a TWRP version before 2.1.6? If so, then you had already previously wiped this /misc partition.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
If you have a functional /misc it will look similar to this:

strings /dev/block/mmcblk0p23
SPCS_001
DeviceWarmBoot
CE Serial InUse
Debug Cable Ena
CE USB InUse
ClearAutoImage
1.13.651.1
EBR_Update
FNOC
FNOC

If your misc is broken it will just be

FNOC
FNOC

Edit: Flashed the touch version (which is evidently not ready for primetime yet, most of the commands wouldn't work. Couldn't even get it to reboot).

strings /dev/block/mmcblk0p23
FNOC
FNOC

Fixed misc and flashed the non-touch version:

strings /dev/block/mmcblk0p23
FNOC
FNOC

So I'm gonna say, 'no, it's not fixed'. ;)

Oh and Viper? Thanks for that vc option #8. ;)

Sent from my EVO 4G LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Yeah. If you're on viper rom it's stupidly easy. Just go into a terminal and type su, then vc, then 8, then y.

If not I think there's a flashable zip floating around...but I don't remember.

Yep.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
There is. If you're on viperROM, there is an option in viperControl to fix it. If not, you have to do it manually via terminal or adb...

Download this

put it on your INTERNAL storage (/sdcard, not /sd_ext which is your removable sdcard)

open up adb or terminal and type:

su
strings /dev/block/mmcblk0p23

This will show you the "before" of 0p23. Then type:

dd if=/sdcard/p23_dump of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p23

This actually flashes your /misc with the right info. To verify that it worked, rerun the strings command:

strings /dev/block/mmcblk0p23

You should see alot more info in there and your /misc partition is fixed :) then go flash the latest CWM and tell me if it derps on you again lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lancemoreland:
Thanks. That worked. I think I'll pass on the CWM for now :D
