I just tried flashing 2.7 - did 100% full wipe first. I was coming from Chameleon. Flashing got about half way thru and got stuck - stayed stuck for the next 30 minutes. Held the power button down and the phone reset to the bootloader.

Now here's where I think the problem is: I have a PJ75IMG file still on my sdcard2 root - I installed it to remove the red dev disclaimer on the splash screen. I'm prompted to update every time I reboot into the bootloader. Whether I say yes or no it doesn't bring me back to the menu to select recovery(twrp) - only the option to reboot. If I reboot I remain frozen at the splash screen.

Is this what it's like to be BRICKED!? Am I overlooking something to be able to get back into the recovery?

Thanks in advance to anyone who could give me a couple answers.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] leerage:
No you aren't bricked. If you can get into recovery, take your sd card out and use an external card reader to view it on your computer. Remove the zip and then put your sd card back into the phone. You should then be able to get back into recovery via bootloader.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] RyanInAj:
Omg, yes! See that's exactly what I meant - totally overlooked an obvious(and easy) remedy to my problem. Thanks for thinking outside the box for me!

Curious if any of the performance tweaks in the rom conflict with the tweaks in the custom kernel's?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] murf43143:
2.7 messed up my phone also. The update failed over and over even though I had the full version with proper check, and my phone was looping in an "update" at the bootloader screen.

I had to remove my SD card, hold power+down to get to bootloader witout the "loop", go to recovery, and then launch TWRP and load 2.2 back on.

Something seems wrong with this many people saying 2.7 is crashing their phone temporarily.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
If it was looping at the bootloader: do you have a PG75IMG.zip file on your SD card? The ROM won't cause that: has to be either a stray firmware file on your SD card or a bad recovery. I'm beginning to wonder if some of the problems a few of you have been having are coming from an updated recovery that has a bug. So for those of you who had trouble flashing, what version of TWRP are you on? The install is identical between 2.6 and 2.7 and the only thing that changed were a few files inside, so the flashing process is pretty much the same other than a few files that are in the ZIP. Nothing that could cause any problems like the sideload errors, etc. That's usually a recovery issue or bad download.

OOC, those of you saying that you are having battery issues that are making this ROM not a viable candidate for you right now, I would have to think that there is something going on that you are overlooking. I have been off the charger since 0530 when I left for my shift; WiFi on, Google Talk video and voice chats going, various phone calls and txts, emails, and a little bit of internet browsing when I was away from my console and I am sitting nicely at 58%.

I know for a fact that having done all of that and being off my charger since 0530, 58% is better than stock and is definitely up there with the other ROMs that are out based on reading those threads all day.

I'm definitely not going to try any other ROM in the near future because IMO this one is good to go and it is only getting better with every update. If you are having serious drain, try the full wipe and reset and see if that makes a significant difference because there is definitely a majority of people reporting the exact opposite of battery problems.

Mike, you're the man!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EindhovenOne:
Kanye, first and foremost, I love your music. With that said, there is definitely something going on with your phone that isn't being seen by most of the others using it. I don't know if you came from another ROM prior to this or just went from stock, but try the complete reset and wipe, and maybe even the superwipe that is out for the LTE and give it another go.

Hey hey hey. Imma let you finish, but MeanROM is one of the greatest ROMs of all time. OF ALL TIME!

Thanks in advance and keep up the great work. IMO best ROM so far! :good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanalan82:
Na man, ROM is great. Sometimes its just a pain to get so many things to work together, but of course u know that. Even as just someone who installs all these mods and uses them it can be exhausting.

I came from viper rom and wow the difference is crazy. The stock browser doesn't bog down the whole phone. The whole phone doesn't get bogged down from doing just 1 thing.glad to see do many mods included as far less flashing after installing. Very fast and snappy.no other problems, battery is great.

I did wonder though. Why on this rom won't the sd card cache stay at 128? It always reverts back to 2048. I tried changing with system tuner , and rom toolbox. cfq i/o sticks though.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Nygel:
the flash is fine, its when it tries to re-write the SD card is where the problem occurs
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
I'm on 2.2.0 with s-off. I booted to recovery paying attention to any message. All I get is the little brown progress bar on the right of the screen that goes up once, then I see the "TeamWin" logo that sits for maybe 5-10 seconds, then that swipes out of the way and I get the TWRP recovery menu with the touch buttons. I never get any messages on booting recovery and all my messages when I flash the ROM are normal. I still think it's some external influence that has fouled up some people's recoveries. Would like to figure out what it is though. Anyone with any more clues? Have you few with the problems changed/installed anything else lately? Kernels? Firmware files?

What is the exact sideload error message? Is there a status code? I'm wondering since the Google Now stuff bumped the size of the ROM up over 600MB, if some people are having problems with storage space. I can't figure out why some would and some wouldn't though, especially on a full wipe. I looked again at the diff between 2.6 and 2.7 and the installer is 100% identical. Really the only difference is the file size!

Anyone have a stock battery mod that won't give problems ? Been searching and flashing all the ones I can find but they either mess up a few things or don't stick .
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mikeyxda:
That's the correct MD5. You guys aren't running close to full on either sdcard or sdcard2 are you? I may have to create a 2.7 download with the fat trimmed. Maybe I'll create a separate flash for the stuff that goes in your MeanROM-ICS folder as there's a lot in that folder and that's starting to take a lot of space. I can't think of anything else other than the size of the file. I'm running TWRP 2.2.0 and I wonder if some people have more stuff taking up larger amounts of space on some partitions and 620MB is just too close to the limit.

Thanks. I'm still not convinced it is a size issue though if people are doing a factory reset and fresh install and still getting the message. That doesn't make sense because we all have the same amount of memory at that point. I think it might just be a bad recovery (bug in a certain version).

So, everyone who has had this problem, I need to know (the more responses I get the better):

(1) What is your hboot version (reboot to bootloader to see)

(2) What version of TWRP are you using (boot to recovery to see)?

Thanks,

Hi everyone, so I have a battery issue. I did a clean flash last night, I charged my phone to 100 %, used battery calibration and unplugged my phone. I left it unplugged and was going to let it discharge completely. I woke up and noticed the battery dropped 40 percent overnight while I wasn't using it. I did not restore any system apps from tib or anything. The only think I can think of is having my wifi never turning off and having the increase wifi performance option checked. Would having wifi on all night really use that much battery. I could try the battery mod in the op, but I really like the speed of the rom as is. Any suggestions would be great.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vincent Law:
It is currently extremely buggy, don't count on it doing much more than providing cards based on your Google searches (like baseball games, weather, etc).

Anything, and I do mean anything, that requires a regular web search will almost always fail to work. Also, various parts of the app fail to load the correct UI sometimes. It's basically just a tease right now.

There's something going on there wifi will not cause that much drop by itself. I'd say to grab better battery stats to see what's causing the drain issue

Hold the power button for 10 seconds (yes, that long), until the screen goes black. As soon as it goes black, hold the volume down button. That should bring you into Fastboot, and you can go to recovery from there.

In the news today...

Been playing with the Enoch kernel some today and started optimizing boot scripts for it. That's one kick-ass kernel but I did find one possible kernel bug that I've reported to ca1ne. I think once that's worked out (whether it's a kernel bug or something I need to do different), it's going to make some waves in Evo 4G LTE land. With the insmod method being used currently, my phone won't go over 1.7 Ghz without boot loops but with this Enoch kernel, I can run 2.1 Ghz flawlessly. Phone doesn't even get warm and I immediately broke the 6000 barrier in Quadrant without even trying hard! So I'd say in a day or two, we'll have MeanROM 2.8 that installs as it does now (with the stock kernel at stock 1.5 Ghz), but has flashable ZIPs to install the Enoch kernel and associated overclocking all the way up to 2.1 Ghz. You'll be able to pick your poison but it looks like everybody will probably be able to run 2.1 Ghz with that kernel. Or at least very close to 2 Ghz.

That's the plan anyway.
