wait, if it still says locked, he would not have been able to put twrp on the phone, correct?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ewalk4866:
Why would you not trust goomanager? thats how twrp tells you to flash there recovery.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] netengineer:
I have not tried that. I know the phone is unlocked because some of my apps require it to be. I also assume it is rooted because I did the procedure and also root checker says it is. I have not done it with fastboot. (i actuallyam not sure how) I am not at my laptop to make sure I can follow instructions and work on the phone. Lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
rooted and unlocked are not the same thing.

You probably have root, that's where the 'tampered' message comes from. But if you didn't do the HTC Unlock then you can't install a recovery...

As for Goo Manager, installing a recovery from within Goo Manager works perfectly fine. Not sure why anyone wouldn't use it. Fastboot flash works fine too, but there's no reason NOT to take advantage of an in-app flash.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NasTraDooMis:
Does the twrp back up the wimax.img ? Like in clockwork on our og evo ? or have the option to on the lte ?

*Also, does twrp not support/recognize ext sd card/sdcard2 ? I see in select zip to install the extsd is listed but when i click on it 2 folders appear, one with 1 dot and a second one with 2 dots, clicking on either one just returns to internal sd card :( * Nevermind, found the box was checked for unmounted sd2 card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
i think you have to mount your sdcard first.

as for wimax, there is no such thing with lte...lte is a different beast, its all on the embedded sim card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NasTraDooMis:
Yea, i mounted in the twrp recovery :)

Ok, its on the sim so no chance on loosing it due to something bad happening with software on phone=win ! ( i think).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Honestly, maybe just superstition. It's just something that seems like the user should be more intricately involved in. Not trying to bash it, just I, personally, felt wary of doing it that way. Kind of like, I never used ROM manager, just made me nervous.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
No reason to feel nervous, sir. :) It works, and even if it DID bork your recovery, it's easy enough to get it back. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Well, I've already got TWRP installed, but out of curiosity, the option that says install openrecovery, is that how you would do it thru goomanager? Saw that option the other day and was curious. Much thanks.

sent from a shining jewel 4g LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ewalk4866:
yep i see your point people need to know what they are doing and not just install stuff just because they can do it the easy way. good point!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
Just click on that. Make sure that you have good data connection. Goomanager will download and install recovery by itself.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
kind of. Just, the more automated a process is, and the more processes that are included in the automation makes me all the more doubtful I could figure out where a problem occurred, IF a problem occurred. If that makes sense :o

Sorry if this has been asked and answered, I've read through most of this thread.

I renamed my backups and when I go to restore one, the recovery isn't seeing them. It sees the most recent one that I haven't touched yet, but not the others.

Can you not rename them?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
You can rename them, but you can't put any spaces in the filenames.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xxRAMOTHxx:
I have renamed mine and used them just fine. When your renaming them no spaces in name right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vopwriter:
Yep, no spaces and no symbols. Just letters and numbers.

What can I try next?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
And you haven't moved it from it's current location? My renamed backups worked fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vopwriter:
No, but there is a TWRP folder on the internal and ext2 memories with the backups in each. Do I need to delete one?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xxRAMOTHxx:
That was going to be my next suggestion. When using TWRP recovery you have an option to mount internal memory or external. It remembers what your selection was the last time you were in recovery. So you could have your renamed backups on your external card and if your internal is mounted in recovery you will not be able to see them.

Hope that makes sense.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Be sure to "re-name" by adding to the end of the original file name and no spaces. I have no issues renaming mine but always hold to that method.

So something like 2012-06-18--12-46-10_Fresh6.12

*And what the other guys said too
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xxRAMOTHxx:
So while in recovery go to Mount. See what it is set to. Change it to the opposite and then go to restore. You should see your other backups. If you do your good. Now boot back into your Rom and go into root explorer or whatever file manager you use and move them all to the same place.

Now when you go to create a new back up make sure the correct mount is selected (internal or external) and your backups will all be in the same place.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vopwriter:
Don't shoot me. It looks like I did keep renaming the parent folder instead of the backup. Such a dope. Thanks Cap't and Ramoth for putting up with my oversight.

As members of the mikmik family, I fully embrace my impending face palm...

Dropping an official thanks button on both of you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xxRAMOTHxx:
It's all good bro! I once formatted my SD card during a late night flashing session...back up was a month old! That one still hurts....lol. Have a great day and glad you figured it out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Damn, I got in here late. Conversation already over apparently. That was gonna be my question , about renaming the nandroid or the device name folder. Just because I almost did the same thing. I only realized it was the parent folder because I opened it to look to check that it actually backed up my stuff (because the backup process was blazing fast).

Glad you got it ;)

sent from a shining jewel 4g LTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
I see this never got answered so here you go. The compressed backups go to ext card. Not sure why your first one didn't but that's where they have saved for me. Not a problem of any kind. But you have to mount the card in recovery to see it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NasTraDooMis:
On my first back up twrp put it on the internal card, on my second back up twrp put that one on my external card. Why did it do that ? How many back ups can it create ? Unlimited or just one at a time where as it might over-wright the last back up made ? *ps i dont recall but i may have changed the mount or back up location, i dunno.

* Also, when i plug in usb cable to pc and say mount as disk drive my external sd card is shown, how do i get into the internal sd card to copy and transfer stuff ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
not sure how its done in TWRP but if you plug in the usb cable and select media sync, that will give you access to the internal storage.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NasTraDooMis:
Thankx, will give it a shot. :cool:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jjenkins09:
hey! im having some issues with twrp install on cm9 for my evo.. i have 2.0.0 but i cant get the new one to install.... any suggestions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
I'm not quite sure what you mean by you have issues with TWRP (a recovery) on CM9 (a rom) nor what you are trying to install. :confused:

Suggestion is to be a little more clear and I'm 100% sure someone (if not me) will be able to help real quick.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grayn0de:
Add:

calibrate("1.3137","40","1.3137","40");

...to aroma-config. Works great for me.

Only issue I'm having is that occasionally the installer will freeze completely and require adb reboot. Not sure if it's TWRP or AROMA. I'm not able to track it down at all... EDIT: I figured out what the issue was. (AROMA-related)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nick1313:
Huge +1 for me. I actually had bad experience with goomanager, it borked my recovery. So I ended up just doing fastboot like I knew I should have to begin with. To each their own and whatever works for you. ;)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jbermi:
in goo manager, press the menu button in the corner. and then Install OpenRecoveryScript. and it will install TWRP for you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] UltimateEnd:
excellent, thats a bit more clear

THANKS ! :good:

came from flashing ROM on samsung devices, was sorta different.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xxRAMOTHxx:
Go into Mount and click use external... Then you'll be able to see your sd card.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] grayn0de:
Any other devs working with AROMA and TRWP? AROMA and another recovery? Are you experiencing any system freezes?

I thought I had this tracked down to an issue in my aroma-configs (not liking writetmpfile()?), but that no longer seems to be the case. Sometimes the installer is fine, sometimes it freezes. :confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dude2k5:
Is there any way to name these backups? If I rename them, they won't restore. Says backup mount not recognized or something.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xxRAMOTHxx:
If you rename them make sure there are no spaces. What I always do is simply put name if Rom in front of generated string... Like this...

CM9-DECK-2012-06-22--06-16-58

Then it should work fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
+1 works great. Or at the end aswell.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zaaye:
Cant get restore to work.

I can not figure out restore with this recovery.. Phone will not reboot into to restored Rom. Now I can't even find the back up to restore it??? Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] volk9029:
What is the process of your restore?

Can you give more details?

Sent from my lair.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Also, what's the process of your backup. What partitions did you backup?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zaaye:
I backed it up with back up option. What ever the standard setting is I just left it like it was. I think system boot data maybe.

To restore I went to restore and two choices came up I pull the slide and it said success. Only took like 30 seconds?

Is that the information you need?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Um.... Did you navigate to the backup you wanted to restore and select it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
for some reason now i can't flash any roms. When i try my phone turns itself off
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zaaye:
Yes
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
I had the problem a couple of times but just immediately flashed it again and worked.

Maybe try to reflash twrp and see if it fixes it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Thanks that's what i thought i would have to do. Do you know the commands and would i have to be in fastboot mode?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] pbedard:
Just use goo manager its a lot easier
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
I can't. I wipe everything to flash a new rom then i started having the problem and none of my back ups work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Look here. http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/98
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
If you don't use Goo Manager the commands are:

fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery.img

Yep, you'd need your phone to be in fastboot.

If you DO use Goo Manager (which is the easiest way) you do it right from the app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
i tried but it says waiting for device :/. I installed htc sync and my phone says fastboot USB
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Did you try the link I posted?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Yeah i did. Thats how i got the htc sync drivers and I followed the directions. I can't even do the oem lock command cause i get the same waiting for device error
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
How are you accessing adb? The method I use is open the sdk folder-single click on platform tools to highlight it-press and hold shift and right click-then click on open command window here.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
I'm accessing it through cmd and navigate to platform tools. I try adb devices when in fastboot but my device doesn't shown up. When i'm in recovery it shows up fine
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Try accessing it my way. I had problems with it the way you are doing it. Its worth a shot. And put the files your are pushing in the sdk folder.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
I'm in the irc chat with regaw trying to fix the driver problem but i'll give that a shot

EDIT: problem is fixed :) thanks to Regaw
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Dude is a genius. Did you need to repair your drivers, or uninstall the sync driver and install the android USB driver?

Just curious. Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
I had to uninstall all HTC programs and then install his drivers and I was able to RUU. But we did find out that my internal sd card got corrupt which was causing all my problems

Re install TWRP, and double check the md5 for your rom downloads.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
So if we use HTC Dev Unlock to use TWRP, can we undo HTC Dev Unlock later? I'm not sure how HTV Dev Unlock but from a couple posts I read, does it involve contacting HTC?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Once you unlock you can relock it but your bootloader will say 'relocked' instead of 'locked'.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
And then our warranty is toast? I just had to replace my LTE with a new one so I'm a bit uneasy about losing my warranty.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Yes, if you unlock with HTCDEv the warranty, with HTC, "may be" gone.

Did HTC replace your phone? *That should put your worries to rest. ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Yep, your HTC warranty is definitely (not 'may') be gone.

However as noted: When was the last time you sent your phone to HTC for a repair? If it blows up, just take it to Sprint and get a new one. They won't mess with you as long as it's not a software issue. If it's an actual hardware problem they'll just replace it and move on.

Ha ha! True true, good thing we don't need it to flash that from bootloader. I just got a second LTE for the Sprint EVO LTE Trial so I'm going to leave it locked for the 30 days then will go for the S-off if we get everything just the same as HTCDev unlock and root.

Not worried about my HTC warranty but if this is all the same, without losing it, why not. :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
With all we can do with S-on, why are people interested in S-off? *sincere question*
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
From what I understand, it truly opens all partitions AND we avoid the unlock token that registers our devices with HTC and "may" void (which is really of no consequence to most if us) our warranty.

Right now, with s-on, we as rom flashers can do everything that is needed but I have a feeling that allowing devs to get at these other partitions should open up some dev opportunities.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
It will likely also open up many brick opportunities for noobs :rolleyes:.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gpz1100:
I'd love to see a manual s-off method. Where the end user is responsible for each and every command sent to the phone. This way we know exactly what's going on and what each step is doing. (Not a big fan of these automated scripts).

Similar to a manual method of s-off for the original evo.

For the everyday Rom flashing user, there is no reason.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mildlydisturbed:
Pretty sure the reasoning behind not open-sourcing the scripting is to keep the fine folks at HTC in the dark as long as possible. Execute a few hundred thousand operations with only 3 or 4 being of any use, leave a long trail full of false leads...

That or they don't want people yelling when they finger flub some command and brick their phone.

I now have an even better answer to this question: it will allow you to restore your device to factory conditions, i.e. no "RELOCKED" in the bootloader, if you need to return it for repairs.

Not that it's really necessary, but if you DO need to return it to HTC, you can ;).
