Thanks! But to be honest, I was stuck with a Transform for a long time. Then I kept reading about the EVO 4G, and then followed the whole evo shift thing where gingerbread kept people from having root and s-off for a LONG time. So when I got my EVO3D, the moment I powered it on, I declined the software update, and swore to NEVER apply one. There are many great people here at XDA, that are willing to take that update, and take out the bad stuff, only giving you the good stuff. So yeah... HTC will never be touching my bootloader on my EVO 4G LTE, just like I never let them on my EVO3D. I do understand that some people get replacements or buy a phone AFTER the update is automatically loaded to phones before you get them. So this is GREAT for those users. It's just funny how some people know about HTC, and the fact that they ONLY release updates to lock the phone down after an exploit is found, but people STILL apply them. I had a friend do that, then whined about having hboot 1.5 on his 3D, after updating it to 2.3.4! Then updates his EVO4GLTE...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Your friend..... :what:

Non-morons know they are bad and don't apply them UNLESS for testing purposes (Lowetax I think went through a couple devices sorting out the new HBOOT) for the greater good of the community. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
No, that was me :rolleyes: :(.

I'll be on LTE #4 once Amazon processes my last return and sends me out another replacement for the one I'm using now.

All future OTAs will be taken while S-OFF by bpdamas, so that way I don't ruin anymore devices.

I installed 2.2.1 through goomanager last night
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Evo_Shift:
Even if we hadn't had any issues with flashing is it ok to upgrade to 2.2.1? I wouldn't want dumb lock causing issues if it isn't needed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Of course it's okay to upgrade. Dumlock doesn't do anything unless you install it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdcasino:
Awesome, thanks! Like how I can name the backup from inside twrp.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] logie:
I keep getting md5 checksum error though goomanager.. any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JerryGNYC:
IIRC, there's an option to change the name on the screen where you select what to backup/swipe to backup.

Just tried to restore a backup of MeanROM through twrp 2.2.0 but it didn't restore right. My camera is no where to be found and said it's not installed. What gives?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thaisport_sf:
I can't seem to get twrp to partition my sdcard, format internal or external storage. Any Ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] michael.stollaire:
Did you check to make sure sdcard and sdcard2 are mounted as read/write?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Why do you need to partition? There is more memory there then you need. This isn't the og EVO lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
GooManager question:

Is it possible to navigate a level up from /sdcard when trying to flash a ROM from within the app? The only way you'd be able to flash something from the external SD card through the app is if you can navigate to it as /sdcard2. Trying to use /sdcard/ext_sd doesn't work when it gets to recovery - it's unable to resolve that link, because of how the external storage is mounted in recovery.

I have a similar problem with the OG EVO when I try to flash CM10 through the app - because the storage card is mounted at /storage/sdcard0, it's unable to run the script because recovery has it mounted as /sdcard.

Is there any way to resolve these SD card mounting issues? I think it would make GooManager a lot more useful in combination with TWRP for flashing. I wouldn't have to boot into recovery ever again ;).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Also, I did see this mentioned, but I'm getting an error when trying to wipe internal storage, and there appears to be an issue *if* I was to attempt wiping external storage as well.

For the internal storage, it appears that the recovery is trying to run a format command directly on /dev/block/mmcblk0p38, but the volume can't be located.

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 31 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

Is this a problem for everyone? I'm wondering if this is only an issue for the people with the ultra-locked 1.15 HBOOT, or everyone . . .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
That's because it's not doing a format. It's trying to do an rm -rf on the actual partition instead of the filesystem.

At a guess it's a bug related to the 'use rm -rf instead of format when restoring a nandroid'. Try turning that off in your nandroid settings and then try to erase storage card again and see if that works. Just don't forget to turn it back on in nandroid if that's what you normally prefer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
What's odd is that it wasn't actually enabled in my Settings. I tried enabling it but it did the same thing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Weird.

Yeah it shouldn't be executing an rm -rf. That's just a delete command (remove recursive) and it isn't going to work on a partition...it requires a mounted filesystem.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] logie:
i just upgraded to 2.2.1 and now my phone keeps rebooting when i try to do anything with system (wipe or write a new rom). phone continually rebooting, if my current rom tries to load phone reboots again.

when i plug in light does not come on...

any ideas or is this thing dead? i can still get into recovery and have some battery life just not sure what to do... already reflashed recovery

seems like my /system/ is hosed not sure how to fix if possible
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Try reflashing your ROM over itself. If /system got hosed, that will fix it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] logie:
phone turns itself off / reboots :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Weird. Try a nandroid restore?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] logie:
I tried.. It immediately turns off/reboots.. Never ever seen this behavior and i've owned a lot of evos
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
How's the battery charge?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] logie:
44%

Meanrom almost booted, it vibrated and then phone turned off.

I wonder if an RUU would fix this? but how would that be different then flashing something else?

bah :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Yeah bud, sorry, I don't know. Sounds like something's big-time horked.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Can you get in to hboot or fastboot? I'm a newb at this level, but would fastboot erase cache be helpful at all in this situation?

Also, how did you install 2.2.1, goo manager, or fastboot flash recovery or terminal emulator?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thaisport_sf:
Yes, it was mounted as read/write. :)

lol... true, as I just upgraded from my old evo. I guess it would be good to know though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] logie:
Sir - thank you for all the support you provide on this forum. I was able to fix my phone (it was not TWRP's fault) with OEM locking/RUU/oem unlock etc.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Glad to hear you're back in business. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PhxkinMassacre:
hey just wondering, in the wipe menu what do the bottom 2 actually wipe? the ones that say internal and external or something like that. do they wipe your sd cards? i remember i selected them in 2.2.0 and they didn't do anything (failed) but don't want to test in 2.2.1 incase it actually does wipe them haha.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I would imagine, yes, that's what they are supposed to wipe.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr0roboto:
I tried to connect via IRC, but I could not get through.

I installed Goomanager on my LTEVO, used the "Install OpenRecoveryScript" command, TWRP 2.2.1 was installed, but when I reboot to recovery, I only get the "text" recovery page on startup, I cannot get to the GUI for TWRP. Am I doing something incorrectly?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dave12285:
I found the easiest way to install it is to save it to your platform-tools folder where your SDK is. Then boot into fastboot. Plug your phone into your computer. You should see fastboot USB. Open a command prompt window in your platform tools folder. Open cmd, type cd then copy and paste the location of your platform tools folder. Then type "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img" that will push it to your phone with now problems. Then go back to bootloader on the menu and hit recovery, you're done.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
^^^^^agreed

Also, if you don't have access to a PC or don't have the sdk installed, you can save it to the root of SD card and use terminal emulator. Unfortunately, it's been a long time since I've done that and I forget the exact commands, if anyone could share the command that'd probably be really useful to many.

Thanks all.

From TWRP website:

su

dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr0roboto:
I tried the terminal method, as well as the bootloader method, but neither seem to work. Bootloader states "no image file" when I try to flash the .ZIP file.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DNarsingh:
Have you tried the fastboot method?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr0roboto:
I did not try that method
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DNarsingh:
Do you know how to use adb/fastboot?

I can not for the life of me find the fricking ( = ) on the keypad to enter in terminal emulator :( where the heck is it ? :silly:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DNarsingh:
Once you switch to the numbers and symbols set, there is a key with a "1/2" on it next to the space bar, click that and you with find the = sign.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
I am also trying to wipe my internal SD card and am having Failed messages.

How do you go about wiping internal if you want a fresh start?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrrogers1:
Not sure that TWRP will do it but you can wipe on the phone. Go to the storage menu u see settings and u believe the internal wipe is at the bottom. (*Currently running CM10 so can't look.)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dude2k5:
nevermind, might be the rom thats having backup issues somehow
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MoPho:
I'm having problems. I install the recovery through the app and it says it installed. Never rebooted during the process and when I click load recovery it comes up failed boot 2 starting RSD Mode. I'm stock, rooted with the newest OTA update. If I battery pull the phone loads no problem.

Sorry posted in wrong section. This is on Motorola Photon 4G Sprint.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr0roboto:
I'm not 100% familiar with that method, but I can give it a shot if there are instructions.

Also, I amended my build.prop in order to get around the Apple patent mess. Would that cause any of the issues I am experiencing?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DNarsingh:
Way back when I first learned how to set everything up, this is the guide I used:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mr0roboto:
I installed the SDK and attempted to run LazyPanda, which worked until my phone stopped responding. So I can follow instructions for the most part.

Is there a "step-by-step" for adb/fastboot installation of TWRP?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crump84:
It's pretty easy, check this wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DNarsingh:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sun1914:
Do I Really?

So I'm currently hboot 1.12 s-off Lazypanda, TWRP v2.1.8 and running UrEvo Rom....and I've been flashing other roms...trying them out and have had no issues so far so is it REALLY necessary to uppgrade to this new verison?

and if so...wanna make sure I understand I should DL the file and flashing it from within Goo Manager?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Just use GooManager. It's the easiest way. Open the app, press Menu, then Install OpenRecovery Script. Follow the prompts and it'll take care of the rest for you.

When I update thru goomanager, I always have to do it a few times, and check recovery until it finally "takes" . Just a heads-up. :thumbup:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cabbieBot:
If I update twrp, my understanding is that my previous nandroids made with other versions of twrp aren't restorable...unless I reflash the version of twrp I used to create them. Is that correct?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
Pretty sure that's a lie

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fredgar75:
Not a lie but you can use the new version with any twrp backup. :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cabbieBot:
Once I posted that, I think I might be confusing myself and thinking of how a cwm backup can't be restored with twrp. I've just been operating under the assumption that nandroids require restoration with the exact version of the recovery that created them... For years. But if the above poster is correct and I can use the new twrp to restore any twrp, then I have no worries as far as I can see.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
I believe you couldn't restore a 1.x TWRP nandroid on a 2.x TWRP but otherwise shouldn't be a problem.

ive been trying to install this for a few weeks now.. all i am is dev unlocked... s-on..

try to flash via bootloader... get "main version is older" failure

try to flash via goo manager... says it installs, wont reboot into recovery from within app.. i try to boot into recovery manually and get a ! red triangle

try to push with adb, dont have root yet, says su is an unrecognized command or something to that effect

try to flash with fasboot and it just freezes the phone... have to hold power button to reset

anyway, id really like to make this work if anyone has any ideas for me i would be super appreciative...

edit: figured out how to do it, at least for the bootloader method... i had to go into the zip and edit the mainver. changed it to 1.22.651.3.. it worked after that
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] teamrealtree:

That shouldn't make a difference. Goto manage apps and clear data for goo manager. Might help.

Hey guys... question for ya.

I had me phone replaced a few weeks ago and have some nands that I want to restore. Is it ok to do that, even though the serials/directories are different?

Will it work or should I not even attempt it?

TIA!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I wouldn't do it. There's likely a reason each backup is tied to the serial number of the device on which it is restored, and why you're not allowed to do it by default. It could just be for people with multiple devices using a single sd card, but there probably is a better reason.

I suppose you could try it, but if your device doesn't work right, you'll know why.
