Dev unlock isnt root. You need to root the phone before you isntall the recovery. Use the root method in the Dev section. it works flawlessly if you follow the directions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eyeballer:
OK, that explains it. Goo manager (obviously) needs su permission to do it's thing...

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pimpol10:
I did a full recovery and everything recovered except for all my game apps. Can any one help? Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
I have noticed that my backups dont seem to always flash right. But i full wipe again and a fresh restore fixes it most of the time. Next time though use Titanium bacup for your apps and you can restore them from there. Just remember not restore system data from rom to rom. it will mess up all kinds of things.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BPHusker:
I just ran LazyPanda and have S-OFF. What is the easiest way to install TWRP?

I went from Stock -> Zedomax -> LazyPanda, so I didn't have TWRP get automatically installed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
either download and use fastboot to install it... or go to the market, downoad goo manager, click on the 3 dot menu and press install openscript recovery. and it will automatically install it, no reboot needed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellybrf:
stupid question, but what should i choose to do a wipe when flashing different roms? factory reset deletes my external sd card, which i dont want to do every time
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Factory reset is wiping your ext SD? That doesn't sound right.

I do a factory reset, the cache, the dalvik cache and system a few times each, then run superwipe zip. Have never had my ext SD or internal wiped.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
No, it doesn't. It doesn't even delete your internal storage.

I usually do factory reset and system.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I usually use the PJ75IMG.zip and flash it through the bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BPHusker:
That was INSANELY easy. Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Yup yup, me too. Always keep that img.zip I'm a safe place. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellybrf:
i thought it was odd, and it actually didnt, but when i choose factory reset one of the things it showed it was wiping was ext_sd or sd_ext or something of that nature. the rom i was about to flash was on my sd card, and once the wipe was done my external sd showed empty to twrp and i had to load it onto internal storage via usb mount. when the rom booted up everything was there on my sd card though
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] edboston:
With twrp, do we still have to wipe things 3 times or has that little annoyance been fixed?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
In Recovery, on the main screen, you have an option that says "Mounts" click that, and it gives you the option to either Mount your Internal memory or Extenal memory. Thats where u want to go in order to access one or the other.

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:10 PM ----------

Well u could use SuperWipe if that is convienent for you. I remember witht he OG EVO, you would have to wipe ervything 3 times, just to be sure LOL. Man what a pain that was. But NO, you dont have to do that anmore, thank god hehe
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TMartin:
eyeballer...Can we have the checkbox with no description in the Restore section, unchecked by default?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TMartin:
Great to hear!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mumbles202:
Installed this yesterday and had 3 quick questions:

1.) Is there a reason not all my folders/files on my external sd card are visible when try to browse in file manager in recovery? I had to copy the file to my internal sd and then reboot back into recovery to find them.

2.) What do I need to backup in a nandroid for my apps to be backed up? My icons re-appear on the screens after doing a restore, but if I click on any of them I get an error saying the apps are no longer installed. I can restore using TB, just curious.

3.) I got an error when doing a backup, and another when doing a restore that the file was corrupt I believe. Normal and can be disregarded? I've used 2 other recoveries in the past and never saw this. The restore seemed to work fine, except the issue in question 2.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
You have to mount which ever card you want to view at that time. Go to mounts and and switch between internal and external.

The other two questions sounds like you may have gotten a bad download. I would try to redownload and install recovery again. As far as what to backup I just use the three default settings to backup and restore. I've not had a problem with restores yet. That's why I say you might have gotten a bad dl.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mumbles202:
Thanks for the info. Actually I see what I was doing wrong now. I was selecting the external sd from the menu. Once I went back up a level and chose sdcard2 I saw everything properly.

I installed TWRP through Goo Manager. I can try a manual download/install. I'll post back with the results.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kellybrf:
thank you, that was the problem.

another question, once i did that i accessed my card via sd-ext, but when i went to flash another rom today ive now got an sdcard and sdcard2 folder showing. sd-ext is empty, sdcard has basically the same stuff as sdcard2 but sdcard2 has a few newer files, such as the rom i just downloaded to flash
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BPHusker:
I was going to flash MeanROM tonight and I was curious what is needed to do a good Nandroid backup. By default, it backed up Data, Boot, System. Do I need to backup Recovery, Cache or .android_secure?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
There is no need to back recovery,or cache. Android secure you need to back up only if you move your apps to sd.

Sent from my lair.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Boot system data is all you need. I wouldn't backup recovery.

@Kelly sdcard is your 10gig internal storage, sdcard2 is your removable storage, and sd-ext (I believe) is where android stores data when running a partitioned card and apps 2 SD.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zounduser:
im s-off when i try flashing this in fastboot it gives me an error every time?!! any ideas?

says remote partition is not allowed to be flushed???

is there a different way to install this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
If you're S-off, you can flash as PG75IMG thru bootloader, but youll need the androidinfo.text file. Captain throwback posted one somewhere. May even be in this thread.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zounduser:
i went back 1 page and found a link! :D thank u for the response bro. what rom would u suggest? sense rom!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Unfortunately the AOSP ROMs still need some stuff worked out, so yeah, sense. Charmeleon is a good one. Viper ROM is also great, and the devs are working on a great update for it.

Glad you got your recovery. :thumbup:;)

Edit: I'm really curious what the 'remote partition wouldn't flash' error was all about. Had you previously installed CWM? :confused:

nope, this was the recovery i came straight to! i used it on my rez, and one x! imo cwmr cant touch this!!!! i think the error has something to do with a fat panda!!!!!!! :(:p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Youthanasia:
anyone else notice that the delvik cache doesn't seem to be wiped completely??

I can check the delvik with Root Explore to see whats in there then go directly to recovery and wipe both caches and after reboot go right back into Explore and everything is still there...no changes at all

I recently started wiping the delvik with Root Explore before going in to recovery to flash something just to be safe..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eyeballer:
Dalvik cache is rebuilt when android boots. That's why a boot after wiping it takes longer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
That is why on ICS after a dalvik wipe and reboot, you see "Android is optimizing".

(Not directed at you, eyeballer, I know you know this) thanks for awesome recovery. :thumbup:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Youthanasia:
Thanks for the info!! Didn't know that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] R32_Rocky:
What exactly is that mysterious checkbox? I tried looking back a lot of pages, and haven't seen it explained, or I missed it somehow. Just curious, as it does seem to have an effect on if restores are successful or not. Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dalex7777:
HTC Unlocked or LazyPanda S-OFF right?

Shouldn't this say "You need to be HTC unlocked OR S-off" before flashing a custom recovery?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Do you not see the big red print?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
The op was created long before s-off was achievable.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Plus the big red print that says you need to be unlocked to flash a custom recovery. LOL:D

EDIT: NM I didnt see his OR in capital letters. My bad.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grayn0de:
Could someone please elaborate the above issue? How exactly does this usually manifest? I'm trying to get an AROMA-based ROM to install, but the installer keeps hard freezing, requiring an adb reboot to clear.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Sounds like a bad dl.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
Fredgar, you fredgared again. Lol.

Grayn0de was trying to flash his rom, using aroma and recovery froze.

Sent from my lair.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
That's not how I read it. Seems like he got a bad dl and when he installs it it freezes. He's talking about the aroma installer no?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
The issue is how the recovery interacts with the AROMA installer. I noticed this same behavior on my OG EVO when using TWRP. I don't think it's a matter of a bad download; it's more of coding between AROMA and TWRP.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grayn0de:
Gotcha. I kind of figured as much, though I never used twrp on the OG Evo. Guess I'll just have to put this ROM project on hold until either CWM is ready for primetime or TWRP & AROMA can play nice. :rolleyes:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
I don't have an issue with aroma and twrp. I use them both on my prime and my 4g LTE. Which is why I said a bad dl. But captain throwback would know a lot more than I. Thanks captain.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
That's interesting. I didn't realize there were any LTE ROMs that used the AROMA installer. I guess I'll have to look through the threads and test it myself. If anything, it seems to work inconsistently. Can you try it again and confirm it works?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Well I forgot which Rom it was and now I can't find one with it. I know there is one but I'm on some painkillers cause I wrecked my motorcycle yesterday and can't remember which one it was. I'll keep looking. :D

~Freshly acquired LTEvo; ViperRom'ed in under 2hrs...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grayn0de:
If it were not my ROM that I was attempting to flash, I'd think the same, but I'm copying it via USB. I actually did a round of rezip/resign and verified my checksums. I'm wondering if it may have something to do with the amount of code being loaded into the memory buffers, as I was able to successfully flash a very small (few options) AROMA-based test ROM. My current ROM has over 1200 lines of code between the aroma-config and updater-script, though. LOL.

As far as I'm aware, ViperROM is not yet using AROMA, but I've not really been following the progress of any other devs too well, being lost in my own code.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
They're not using Aroma in their current ROM, that's correct.

Please read the instructions on the website for how to install!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Now this makes twrp way above the rest. I like the keyboard feature, the ability to rename backups right then rather then wait til its done and going into a file explorer to rename it. Thank you.

Just want to say that if you are running one of the themes for twrp you will have to remove the theme to see the new features.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
thanks brO!!! just installed using goo manager.. thats the first time i ever installed a recovery using that app and i have to say that its sooooo easy!!! love it!!!!!!:highfive::good::D:victory:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] one_love_420:
Now that there is an on-screen keyboard, how about adding a terminal/console to this recovery. That would be a great addidtion to this recovery.

Disregard I re-read the OP again and it does have it. Thank you so much for that addition!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You mean like under "Advanced?"

It does say this in the OP:

- Pseudo-terminal emulator

EDIT: I see you found it ;).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] one_love_420:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Atticustrd:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Hit the three dot menu button and select install open recovery script. Confirm install and it will dl and install it for you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
Just hit menu, and then select "install openrecoveryscript".
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crump84:
Not that really matters because there are plenty of alternatives, but I'm just curious to why this can't be flashed through fastboot with s-off.

Anyway, very cool update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
It absolutely can! Did you download the updated HBOOT from the Lazy Panda site? On the initial release, "fastboot flash" was broken. regaw's Bootloader Customizer also has the updated version.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crump84:
Ah, okay thanks for the clarity. I didn't try to flash through fastboot, I just read (or misread) the disclaimer on the op.. And yes, I'm on the updated Hboot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bender_123:
Any reason (I couldnt find it searching the thread) that TWRP will not Nandroid for me? I can flash a rom, and do just about everything, but I can not backup. All that happens is I get the appropriate screen and status bar, which quickly fills (Under 5 seconds) and I get the success note. There are no backup files saved...Just started doing this with this update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Do you have sufficient room on your sd card?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JerryGNYC:
I'd hope that there'd be a warning for insufficient space instead of a success message...

Perhaps there's a need to select where to backup to first?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Did you try the update yet? It may have been a bad dl in the beginning. The backups run great for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blackroseMD1:
Someone want to hook me up with the fastboot flashable zip? GooManager never works for me, for some reason, and I couldn't find a flashable zip on the teamw.in site.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joshnor713:
Is it the same procedure to update it? I have the previous TWRP installed. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 01:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 PM ----------

Noob, off-topic question. What's is the reason for updating the Hboot? I just ran lazy-panda for S-off last night. Didn't notice the Hboot download. Do you just flash it like anything else?

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] njfoses:
Yep.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I can, but there are several factors that will determine the contents of the zip.

Are you S-OFF? If you are S-ON, UNLOCKED, what is your current Software Version?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blackroseMD1:
I'm S-Off via LazyPanda and on Stock rooted w/OTA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Thanks for the info.

This bootloader-flashable of TWRP 2.2.0 will work for anyone that's S-OFF, and anyone that's UNLOCKED, S-ON that hasn't taken the latest OTA.

Let me know if you have any issues with it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] awillis111:
Just to confirm. Place pj75img on sd2 root and flash through bootloader.

I'm s-off lazypanda, regawmod root, meanrom 1.3.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] blackroseMD1:
Worked great. Thanks Captain!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Correct.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] eyeballer:
It's on the device page....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Yes it will update through goo. Also you dont want to update your bootloader or you will lose root and not be able to get s-off again until another dev works it out. Just fyi.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You fredgared again.

The post you replied to was talking about the updated HBOOT on the Lazy Panda site, with the fastboot flash command fixed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joshnor713:
Thanks for the reply. I don't get it then, what is the Hboot download that's in the lazy-panda page for? Didn't someone here say they updated their Hboot? Sorry, just confused.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joshnor713:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Sorry guys Im on pain killers from a motorcycle accident so not thinking real clear. But I did answer the recovery question right. But the other question, I thought I was talking about the hboot but not sure where that went wrong.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JerryGNYC:
Hey, you helped me. I thought maybe I should wait longer until I know that backup works OK (at least seeing someone post this for the new version), and you did.

No need to apologize, read about your accident over on TMM. Get better soon!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
If you plan on flashing things through fastboot (which is a good option to have), you should flash the updated HBOOT from the LazyPanda site, or use regaw's Bootloader Customizer to do it.

Understandable. No worries. Feel better! :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bender_123:
Plenty of room on the card (7.5 GB available)...I also noticed I am now getting the text "Simulating Tasks" between the TWRP header and the "date/time" lines on the top of the screen.

Reflashed recovery and I am still getting this. I think it might be a developer setting, but I would not have a clue as to how it ended up on my system...Like I said, it acts out like it is doing something (simulating, I guess) and shows success, but never actually backs anything up.

*****For some reason my recovery was defaulted to simulate most tasks under settings switched that box off and everything is working, now****
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I think what is causing some confusion is people seeing updated hboot and thinking it's referring to the OTA hboot update. I believe the lazy panda hboot is completely different from HTC hboot, and panda had to update their own hboot to fix fastboot commands.

Hope this helps anyone. I know captain tried, but I thought I'd try too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
goo manager doesn't seem to work for me. It acts as if it is downloading the file then does nothing when it completes. Not a big deal since there are other methods but just curious why mine wouldn't be working.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bgeezy723:

Loaded through Goo app...all good. Renamed a current Nandroid BU ...easy peasy.

Thank you !!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joshnor713:
But why? Don't mean to be annoying, but I'm a noob at this. What do you gain from updating the Hboot?

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I said this a few times, I'm guessing you don't understand what it means?

In order to be able to flash image files in fastboot. You can flash recovery, hboot, radio, boot and whatever else while in fastboot mode when you're S-OFF. However it won't work unless you update to the hboot that is posted on the site. The original LP HBOOT has these commands broken. It's a feature usually included in Engineering (ENG) HBOOT builds, but has been enabled in the version (SHIP, i.e. for a shipped build/ROM, not ENG) they posted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joshnor713:
Ah okay, yes, I wasn't understanding. In the past I've flashed things from recovery, and I'm fine continuing to do that. So If I understand correctly, I don't need to worry about this?

I really appreciate the help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Not everything can be flashed in recovery ;).

But I don't get the sense that you'll need to worry about it, no. Perhaps once you become a more advanced user :).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Joshnor713:
Thanks again!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
Well I'll be.... I tried booting into recovery and 2.2.0 had been flashed. Must have missed it :) Thanks.

How do you rename existing backups?

Edit - Found it. You have to pretend like you are going to restore the backup and choose rename instead.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Or you could just navigate to them using the File Manager and do it there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] asafegous:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wintz:

That's your problem. Revert it to its original state, and then GooManager will find what you seek.
