Cap'n, it's failing again for me too. It worked right after I did the RUU, no problems. Flashed the Sense 5.5 rom, worked great.

Just tried to do a nandroid and it failed while backing up the system partition.

I don't have a copy of the older recovery, but I'm going to pull the recovery.img from the .3 firmware package and flash it. I'll post back once I check to see if it'll work.

EDIT:

Flashed TWRP 2.6.3.1b from the .3 firmware package, backed up everything fine.

I wonder why the 2.7 version is failing while backing up /System?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
A couple posts ago someone stated that enabling compression will let it finish the backup. Tested and it worked. Back on Twrp 2.7.0.0b
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Granite1:
Hmmm, never tried to compress the backups.

Just curious why not compressing the files would cause a failure? :confused:

I'll flash back to the 2.7.0.0b recovery and try a compressed backup as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
There have been some updates to TWRP, so I'll probably end up building a new one tomorrow and testing it out. I only do compressed backups so I didn't notice uncompressed backups weren't working. Hopefully the issue has been fixed in the past week.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rodohmes:
Off topic question: what's the benefit of compressing backups? Save space? Does it take longer to backup and restore? I've noticed my TWRP backups are getting really big (3gb+) and am thinking this might be the way to go.

Edit: disregard - I checked it out and it looks like it takes longer to backup but uses less space. All good. :thumbup:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Granite1:
I've never done a compressed backup, so that explains that.

Running a compressed backup isn't a big deal, I'll start running those if you don't want to piss with the current version Cap'n.

Let me know if you figure out why it would work right after the RUU, and then fail later on. Also if you need any help testing give me a holler. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wvchapp:
Phone encryption is still a a problem. 2.6.3 recognized the encryption, but would never accept the correct password. 2.7.0 doesn't recognize the encryption at all, so it can't access /system. I hope that's something TWRP is trying to fix.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
TWRP is not compatible with HTC encryption, only AOSP (open source).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wvchapp:
That's a bummer. I didn't realize there were different encryption methods. I thought they all just used something built into Android. Oh well, thanks for the info.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Everyone having issues with TWRP, try this one and let me know if uncompressed backups are working for you. I was able to make an uncompressed backup with it without errors. Hopefully the issue has been fixed.

Also, if you'd like to confirm that nothing else got borked in the process, that would be appreciated as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chemjb:
Tried the new recovery Captain. Uncompressed back ups do complete now. Thank you.

I backed up wiped and flash a new Rom. Everything went smooth. Now I'm booting.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Granite1:
Flashed this recovery, both compressed and non-compressed backups work.

I'll play around and test a few other things out. Thanks Cap'n. :good:

EDIT:

I did a bunch of stuff inside recovery, everything is working fine.

The only thing I noticed is when you select to wipe SD-EXT, it reboots recovery. I know this doesn't exist now since the updated partition layout. Just passing along what it does when selected.

I haven't used ADB side load that much, so I didn't mess with that. It fixes permissions fine.

Looks like winner winner chicken dinner to me. Thanks Cap'n, you the man!! :)

I know this, I'm going to compress my backups from now on. It shaves almost a gig from the file size. WTF was I thinking not using that from the get go?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mumbles202:
I'm s-off w/ LazyPanda, just want to confirm process. Plan is to download hboot and recovery file from page one, rename, copy to sd card. Run the .4 ruu, then flash the zip while in bootloader and let it boot. Then back to recovery, wipe, and install rom. Sound right?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
Captain mentioned in another thread to wipe then reboot recovery before trying to flash then flash rom. Not sure what happens but when you wipe system and then try to flash a new rom it errors and reboots and you will be stuck on splash screen. Just tying to save you a headache.

Added this version of TWRP to the downloads section.

In other TWRP-related news, I finally found some themes that work on our version, and combined with the screenshot patch that's currently on Gerrit, I've been having fun with TWRP (just trying to keep myself occupied until my M8 arrives).

The curtain is the Black Holo from here (thanks [MENTION=3520986]JRJ442[/MENTION]) and the theme is the Black Holofied version from here (thanks [MENTION=2719389]z31s1g[/MENTION]).

Check md5 or check and see if you have zip.zip at the end of the file,Sometimes when you download to computer and transfer to phone it will add an extra zip on it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gmoe65:

Odd. I'm definitely not in a 4G area, but I switched my Network mode from LTE/CDMA to CDMA only and the Hotspot fix started working. Toggled back, stops working. Flip a couple more times and now it's working on the LTE/CDMA setting.

Still may try Tether Router.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
The Native tether actually haven't been working ever since 4G WiMax on the OG Evo. Whole I'm not sure about the Evo 3D, I wouldn't doubt that it was the same case as well.

Maybe Sprint prevents hacked 4G tether intentionally. I don't think that the native Hotspot tether worked on Sense 4 either.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MassStash:
check out the sense 5.5 thread? discussed there about tethering. Native should work, but just 1x and 3G. Wifi Tether Router from play store from Fabio for 2.50 is working awesome for me, just have to follow the settings we talked about in the other thread. Does all network connections and seems to be great for 4.3 and up, aosp also if you have other devices that you may tether from, $2.50 is small charge for awesome app

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mumbles202:
Oh, I was able to find that before, was asking how I was supposed to actually accomplish it. My pc didn't see the phone when I tried to connect through adb, and from within TWRP I couldn't find the /system/customize/... path.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Did you mount system in TWRP first?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mumbles202:
Thought I did but guess I missed that. Just tried it again and worked fine. Thanks for pointing it out, will be more careful and double check moving forward.

ROM is super smooth so far, all my apps re-installed fine, in much less time than the stock ROM too.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
This is the Sense 5 stock rom. Are you referring to the Sense 4 stock rom?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mumbles202:
If that was directed at me, then no. I ran the RUU and was going to let the phone settle in for a day or so. Re-installed my apps, which seemingly took forever. When I wiped and installed this ROM the app install seemed to go much, much quicker. I know this is stock, I just meant compared to the RUU.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mumbles202:
Just noticed something while setting up some access points at work. If I connect to wireless like normal and get Ip and then go click on the ssid name to get info and choose disconnect it drops the network altogether, as if I hit forget. If I just connect to a 2nd ssid while connected to the first it preserves the info. Is that just me?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] louched1:
I ran the new RUU and then installed TWRP and the rooted stock ROM from this thread a few weeks ago (so I'm .3 and not .4).

I'm trying to update from TWRP 2.6.3.1b to 2.7.0.4b and I'm getting an error message when trying thru fastboot ( "FAILED (remote: not allowed)" ). I'm S-OFF and it appears the RUU re-locked my bootloader. I'm assuming it's either the HBOOT or the locked bootloader preventing the fastboot method from working. I can reboot the device with fastboot so it is talking to my phone. I could use HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader and see if that fixes it but it'll wipe the phone but I'm trying to prevent that if possible (just trying to avoid the extra hassle). I was also under the impression that once you were S-OFF it didn't matter if your bootloader was locked so I wasn't even sure that unlocking it would help in any way.

On TWRP's website they give a lot of install options (which I normally use fastboot) but I have reservations about the other methods.

ADB terminal method: dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22. I know there were some partition changes so I'm leary about sending that command without confirmation from someone more knowledgable then me that this still works for the new partition setup.

Bootloader method: Can I download put the 2.7.0.4b recovery.img into their PJ75IMG-twrp-2.3.1.0-jewel.zip and install that way? I'm not sure if the android-info.txt is universal between versions. I would imagine that this method would work if that were the case.

Any suggestions? In the meantime I'm gonna put Firewater HBOOT on and see if that helps.

EDIT: Firewater HBOOT took care of it. Apparently the original HBOOT didn't support the command to flash recoveries.

There isn't a new one posted, but that doesn't mean I'm not still building and testing.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
But...testing on what? I thought that your Evo was bricked? Or do you have your testers?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
My test EVO is bricked, yes (and it's not even really my device anyway). My personal Jewel, which is used as my house phone on RingPlus works fine, but because it's the house phone I can't flash ROMs to it all the time. That phone has to be stable and always on. I can turn it off for a few seconds to flash a recovery to and make sure it's working. I can test whatever features were added and confirm (quickly) that nothing got broken, but that's it. I still don't have one to do ROM testing on.

Dees_Troy actually told me a bunch of stuff isn't working in my recovery, so I may rebuild it with the Omni kernel. But I'll see, because I thought adb was working in there fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Did you install the RUU per the thread in the link below?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=

Once you run the RUU, you'll need to re-root your phone (unlock, install TWRP recovery and flash SuperSU). Once you've done all that, you can flash a ROM based on the new partition setup. Make sure you use the TWRP from Captain's thread, and not the one from the TWRP thread or TWRP website.

I just rooted my EVO 4g LTE and have stock rom of 4.13. I did not find this MOD to turn off the shutter sound until after I booted into the system. Is there any way to disable to shutter sound after 1st boot? I deleted the camera_click.ogg in /System/Media/Adui/UI which disabled the shutter sound when I take screen shots. However the camera will still make the shutter sound even on silent.

Do I have to wipe the system and start over? How do you edit the default.xml file from the File Manager in Recovery?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] AarSyl:
You can't edit the actual file from recovery. You can only edit the permissions. What you can so is this...edit the file the way you want it, and save a copy of the edited file on your SD card. After you flash the rom, use the file manager in recovery to copy the default.xml file from your sd card to the /system/customize/ACC directory. When moving files to the /system partition on the initial flash, no permissions need to be set, since they're only set after the rom is booted into Android.

And about the camera sound...there is the solution that most use, but my solution actually solves both the camera sound issue in the App and for screenshots.

In /system/customize/CID/default.xml, go to the bottom of the file, and edit the line:

This doesn't add the option in the settings for the camera to enable and disable the shutter, but instead, the shutter sound is always disabled in vibrate/silent mode.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] m6284505:
I have the same issue. I have tried both the flashable zip and the apk and neither will work for me.
