Help please, I just got this phone and it had Twrp recovery on it, and was rooted. I wanted clockwork recovery so i installed rom manager and flashed it, then pushed reboot to recovery and it went off and wont come on or do anything, tried to boot manually vol- and power and nothing.
[HTC One X] tomascus:
I think it's because you got the 4G version of the HTC One X, otherwise known as the evita. It does not support Clockworkmod and will brick your device if you flash it. This is the wrong forum for you. This is for the 3G Tegra 3 version.

thanks didnt know there was a different version

So i got this htc evo 4g sprinit from my aunt cause she couldnt figure out how to unlock her phone cause she forgot her password. I started digging around and found a hard reset. Well it had me hold down power + down volume for bootloader then go to recovery then wipe and wipe userdata/factory reset. i tryied rebooting and it just goes to the white and black htc evo 4g screen and sitts there.

bootloader menu:

Idk much about android phones but im trying to upgrade from my lg lucid
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
I don't have an Evo but Factory Reset should be an option in your bootloader
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Its all good, he ended up doing the same thing but through recovery lol :)

Anyway, it seems that you did indeed perform a factory reset, but while it had a custom ROM and thats why you get that blank screen (you wiped all the data so it still has the OS there, but nothing else)

You can easily fix this by flashing a new ROM through recovery

I would suggest taking the time now to get s-off (look up using your hboot version and/or radio version) as it will definitely help in the long run and prevent some misc. problems

To help complete the above and to help you with Android in general I would also highly suggest that you read through the "users" section of xda-university to become comfortable with Android, that site is probably one of the most complete and centralized all-in-one intro's out there :)

Any other problems, feel free to ask away, but make sure you do your share of reading before posting lol :D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brinth49341:
thanks for your help but i still get stuck at the white screen still and my internal sd card wont mount so i have to use an external one does that matter?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:
Yeah thats what you're supposed to do, you can mount it through your recovery (the external, or just use a card reader if you have one handy) :

Mounts and Storage Menu > Mount usb storage

And have you already flashed a rom and its still white? Try clearing everything a couple times (except the external sd) and dalvik cache (advanced > clear dalvik cache) and then flash the new custom rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brinth49341:
Yes i used a rom called ct3.75-tu-sprint.zip phone says it installs and tell me to reboot but it starts up and goes straight to the white screen that says htc evo 4g.

is there a rom you would suggest?

also i cant find a way to get my S-on to S-off. that could be the case mabey? also all the guide i find for the s to be turned off i need to enable debugging which i cant figure out how to do without the phone being on

i also recently updated a new recovery which is clockworkmod recovery v5.0.2.2

i every much appreciate your help all the other forums i tried just kinda ignored me. You guys are great.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brinth49341:
Finally got it working thanks guys youve been a huge help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianvillage:
I would highly recommend using an amon RA based recovery like smelkusmod, unless you like experiencing problems while flashing and wiping. Clockwork mod roms work great on other devices, but they are garbage on the evo 4g.

I'm looking for a Rom that is debloated like a CM10 or AOKP. It seems with most TW roms I have about 50 system apps I don't want running and using up resources and have to freeze/uninstall.

Can anyone who is using a TW rom that's super debloated let me know what they're using? I'm looking for Jelly Bean.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RUNNERX:
Easy delete the apps from the zip file that you do not want.

Do not unzip it just open it and delete what you want to remove.

I usually make a copy of the zip to a different folder so if there is a problem I can get back to the start easy.

Apps are in system/app and data/app.

Yeah options seem to be slim. I just installed i747z and it's been good for battery life which is what I want. Sadly all the CM10 and AOKP variants only get me 6 to 8 hour battery life. I don't have any idea how some people can push 20+ hours unless they just don't use their phones heavily like I do. But most TW roms have the bloat apps which use up memory. I tried downloading the aeonflux early but my dl was interrupted. I'll try it again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Anonymously_Unknown:
Are we talking about doing this on a stock ROM here?

Wouldn't this cause it to fail the MD5 checksum thus preventing it from flashing with ODIN?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pickupman66:
should not need to flash the TW custom roms via Odin each time. once you have CWM, just flash them from there. and if I am correct, you can use 7zip to peek inside the zip file and remove what you need to without re-zipping it and changing the MD5.

I've been using Loser Rom for a while now. It has a mod to debloat which is nice. I also am using the Ashraman to also debloat. But still my average is at 6 hours. My screen isn't on all the time like the screen shot says. That's with ktoons kernel and conservative governor and juice defender ultimate. Maybe this low battery life is going to be normal when you've got 123 apps installed and a heavy texter. But I don't use live wallpaper or have many widgets.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazzo123:
ok first off i am using my first nexus device which is the nexus 7. i have recently unlocked and rooted it so that i can flash paranoidandroid onto it. i used the google nexus 7 toolkit 4.0.0 too. so when i hold down the volume rocker buttons, i get into fast boot mode. after that i select recovery but when i do that, it goes pixelated for a sec and a dead android guy appears with a explanation mark over him. I'm assuming it already has a clockwork mod but if not can someone please help me?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt0303:
Check your app drawer for cwm. If it's not there download it from the play store, once installed open it up and flash it. Or go back to your toolkit and flash it .
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
CWM or ROM Manager. It's also unnecessary to hold the volume keys to get the bootloader; hold power until the Google screen (maybe not necessary), at which point you just press volume down.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazzo123:
well i went into the toolbox and flashed clock work mod and its still doing the same thing. any ideass???
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt0303:
Sorry I meant download ROM manager. I stand corrected. Thank you. Once it installs try flashing cwm from there. If that doesn't work you might have to go back to stock and start over.

Hope this helps
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
What's the toolbox? Use ROM Manager.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nazzo123:
Yeah it still doesn't work:(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnt0303:
Does it boot up and function normal? Are you sure you have root?

I think you should start over. Try flashing stock 4.2.1. See what happens.

I am also very new to this. I really messed mine up twice. I had to start over time and time again just to get mine working.

Reading on here a lot of people don't like these toolkits. You have to follow the directions given to you from the toolkit to perfection or they don't work. Trust me, I learned the hard way.

I can't help with adb (I'm still trying to learn)

The toolkit will work. Like I said, try flashing a stock ROM. If the toolkit let's it flash then there is no reason it won't flash cwm.

Read the directions
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
did you delete the recovery-from-boot.p/ file? you would have to if youre using the stock rom, or the stock recovery will replace the custom recovery every time. use root explorer or a similar root file manager to delete it.

It'd probably be best to flash a recovery image through fastboot. You can find both CWM and TWRP in the dev section.

There is no problem in charging often but atleast you should let it drain it upto 50 to 60 percent

Both of us, you and I have a lithium polymer battery. Some tips I follow for the life of my battery pack.

1. Do not let battery discharge to less than 10% too long.

2. Always charge your battery short of 100% ie 85-95%

3. Always turn off your phone and charge the battery to get an accurate reading of battery percentage.

[General Questions and Answers] xWhiskey:
Hi,

I'm pretty sure this problem could be common to all rooted devices, so I'm posting it in the general Q&A.

Basically, I would like to experiment with some build.prop tweaks I found around other XDA topics. I'm sure all of you know about the general tweaking of the said file, so I won't get into too much detail about it.

However, the changes just don't stick. They reset to default every time I reboot, as if the build.prop file never changed. So, how do I make them stick?

Phone details:

Phone: Xperia X8

ROM: FroyoPro v2.5

Kernel: Stock (can't unlock the bootloader, unfortunately)
[General Questions and Answers] SXUsr:
Are you saving before exiting?
[General Questions and Answers] xWhiskey:
Of course! I even double-check if the changes were still there by opening the modified build.prop after the work is done. For the changes I used Root Browser Lite with the Text Editor pre-installed inside. This method does work well, as I used it to modify hw_config parameters related to governors a couple of weeks back.

I've read somewhere that sometimes changes aren't possible if the kernel is stock. Could that be the case here?

If not, are there any other methods I could use to modify build.prop?
[General Questions and Answers] sircrisp:
A quick google caused me to find this thread and I too am having the same problem. I'm currently trying to edit my build.prop to unlock games which say they are incompatible. I'm using ES File Explorer and the built in text editor to edit and save the .prop file, I check if the changes have saved before rebooting my phone but when I turn it back on it has reverted back to stock.
[General Questions and Answers] xWhiskey:
Check if your ROM has a dual build.prop file. If one exists in system/bin, you ought to edit that one for the change to stick. This solved the issue for me, and might solve it for you.

If it isn't there, try using search, and if you find another one somewhere else then try editing that one. A simple matter, but apparently easily missed :)
[General Questions and Answers] sabreem:
I'm here to wake this thread up, because I'm having this same issue and I can't seem to find any duplicate build.prop file...

me too have the same problem , please some dev or expert help with these problem
[General Questions and Answers] flexton:
You install root explorer and mount as r/w and copy the build.prop into your sd card (the unmoded one) and connect your phone to your pc and turn on usb copy file transfer or something like that. In your pc go into your sd and open your copied build.prop with notepad and mod it as you like. After that go into your root explorer and replace it with your original build.prop. Try on not bricking your phone bcz i bricked mine like that when i put a lot mods on it haha, make a cwm backup or if you know how to unbrick it in every case :) Hope i helped

Be sure its mounted as r/w otherwise you will not be able to do anything to system files.

Use the original root explorer or Andro Zip is recommeded by me

Are you setting the file permissions correctly as rw-r--r-- ??
[General Questions and Answers] Kico.MMK:

thank u for answering but sorry guys to say this , it's not the way of editing it , or the permission , when i make changes they are saved correctly and the device apply the changes in the start of the first boot after these changes are made , but during the boot (after applying the changes) the device restore the stock build.prop , so when the device finishes boot up the changes are applyed but the build.prop (i cheked it) is back to stock , this mean another boot & the changes are gone , :crying: :crying: no matter how many times or changes u do they are applyed only for the first boot after they are made

[General Questions and Answers] blueeagle69:
I have the same issue with my Vodafone Smart Ultra 6. I have root and system has read write access according to ES File Explorer. But any app that has root privileges, writes just fine without errors. However, if I close the app and load it again, or reboot, any changes are lost. So if I remove a system app using a root uninstaller it will say the app has been uninstalled. But it's still there. Drives me insane.
[General Questions and Answers] danny_bhoy67:
Exactly the same on the Smart Ultra 6.

Was hard enough to get it rooted but seems any changes to the system partition/file system just don't stick. Short of putting a custom rom on it I'm stuck for ideas.

I'd love to know what causes this behaviour.

Any updates here? I just started running into this after updating to the 7.1.1 January factory image on my 5x. The weird thing is when i reboot in TWRP it all looks fine but when I look at my system directory from Android the boot-from-recovery.p is still there and my build.prop changes aren't...push TWRP again, boot to recovery read build.prop and it's my edited version. wtf?
[General Questions and Answers] ashd63:
I have found a solution which works in my case.

Edit build prop using any root explorer and save it.

Now once again edit the file with different root explorer app like amaze or es explorer with some comment line like

#comment

and save it.

Now it should prevent the build prop from resetting after a reboot.
