this probably depends on what version of recovery. you might have had to help the recovery mount your sdcard first before running the command. not sure if all the different recoverys auto mount /sdcard on boot or not.

glad you found a working solution.

im using the odex version along with quite a few other people and wifi works.

when you flash to the odex version, clear your /data and it should work just fine.

when you're having the wifi issue, this is in the settings when attempting to enable wifi you receive the error, unable to start wifi?

looks like i will have to test the wifi on deodex version today and see what happened...
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigbiff:
I cleared /data using Clockwork recovery for both odex and deodex. Indeed in the settings is where I get the message "unable to start wi-fi". I also updated the radio both times.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
i wiped my data, installed 1.0.8 deodex and was able to connect to my router and transfer data w/o any problems.

im not able to duplicate your issue and it seems isolated.

if you can help me troubleshoot, it would be great, but dont feel obligated to.

you'll need to have adb setup and understand how to use adb logcat or ddms. if you don't, then it might be too much.

appreciate your feedback and testing thus far!
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigbiff:
I am new at adb, but have used UNIX for 20 years and am a Linux Sysadmin at work. Give me some guidance and I can help troubleshoot. I have adb installed. From what I understand you use adb in a command prompt to get a shell on the phone. What would you like me to do?

*EDIT*

Backing up stock rooted ROM and installing w/o wipe for now.

*EDIT 2*

NM, works now...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Steven8R:
I am seeing the same thing - no WIFI. In settings is says "unable to start". Wierd thing is I tried switvhing to "plane mode" and back (just saw that somewhere on another topic) - and under WIFI it switched to "cannot stop". Rebooted, I did clear /data using clockworks before installing DEODEX version. Havent tried ODEX.

The only other thing that is wierd is that my HOME button on phone reloads the screen your on, I have to use BACK to get to home.

I used the new SIMPLE prog - checked the .bat files, and it does same as partts 1/2 of manual. Did backup w/clockworks. Copied your DEODEX to SD, and used clockworks to install update. I do see your tag in fone OS.

Like others, I just want a basic off the shelf rooted phone for WIFI. I'm paying for unlimited data already!

Thanks,

Steve

{EDIT} I did NOT try to install the latest radio - still trying to learn exactly what that is! Did you install BigBiff? Did you just copy 1.0.8 to SD & redo claockwork update w/o wipe?
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
Thanks for the update, Joeykrim. I just rooted the other day, and your ROM is fantastic. I'm going to update to 1.0.8 tonight. Do I need to re-flash the radio?

Also, I tried flashing the following vanilla lockscreen assuming it would work because your ROM is close to the stock Sense ROM, but the layout of the vanilla android lockscreen was, for a lack of a better phrase, messed up. Have you tried this yet? If not, don't worry about it. Personally, I'm sick of the Sense lockscreen. The vanilla lockscreen is far more functional. Here is the link: http://geekfor.me/evo/21/vanilla-lock-fix-for-evo/
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigbiff:
Download the radio update at xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=696462 and apply it the same way you would a ROM from recovery. I think flashing the rooted stock rom and setting up user data then flashing this without wiping data fixed the wifi somehow. Not sure what happened.

I am not sure, but I apply the radio each time I install a new ROM. Don't know if you need to do this everytime, since I am not sure what it is updated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
first off, its best to install the latest radio update.

i havent followed the root scripting easy processes cuz id rather do it myself manually. im assuming you're using the eng build.

you wiped /data and installed the deodex 1.0.8 and the wifi won't start? bigbiff was able to get his working earlier and i havent had any problems in the odex version and i tested the deodex version yesterday w/o any issues.

i'll keep looking into this ...

you don't need to reflash the update unless you reload the userdebug or eng PC36IMG.zip file.

i looked at the vanilla lockscreen fixes flipz made, provided by your link, and i don't see why it wouldnt work? i glanced thru his .zip files and it seems hes copying over a .jar and sometimes 1-2 .apk files.

it still seems like there are issues using his lockscreen fixes, from reading through his page, but in an effort to help two questions.

which patch did you apply from flipz site? what happens when you apply the patch/es to my ROM?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
im glad it is working for you now, and its interesting to hear the process you want through. i will definitely take a look into these files....thanks for the feedback and updates!

generally, only the PC36IMG.zip files and the RUU will touch the radio. once you update it, you shouldn't to reapply the update unless you run one of these files. when in doubt, you can always check the .zip for the radio .img or check about phone in the software versions for the currently running radio version.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Steven8R:
Thanks for the info guys! I'm still trying to figure *why* we need the steps involved to flash ROMs, I see & do the steps but it isnt posted anywhere as to what is happening in the firmware (why we flash PC36img, then eng-pc36img, and where & when the restore comes into play). Anyhooo...

- So i have to go thru the 3step SIMPLE every time I flash a new ROM? Say I wanted to try one of the custom's? In other words, once rooted, you don't stay rooted when applying another ROM?

- I see in Toast's method there is a backup in there that gets restored (overwriting the first install?). Don't see this in the SIMPLE scripts, but I did see joeys tag in firmware, so assumed it worked OK.

- If I have joeys ROM installed, and want to try the rooted stock (try to follow bigbiff's steps), I go thru the SIMPLE 3step rooting process again, correct?

Thanks for the help! Been a long while since I did any ahem.. "coding".. that project involved gaining "root" by messing with clock freq. Without Android & adb background, wondering if all this is worth it to get WIFI tether (that should be free if you're paying for unlimited data!!)...

Steve
[EVO 4G Android Development] Steven8R:
oh yeah, asking if we have to use rooting process each time cuz I tried installing the rooted stock, by installing to SD card and using clockworks (same as joeys). No root, but got stock ROM.

Steve
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
I tried Option 3, then Option 1. After Option 3 didn't work, I deleted the file from the SD card, flashed Option 1, booted into recovery and installed from zip.

What happens is this: instead of the "unlock" and "silence" options being on the left and right respectively, they are positioned vertically, one on top of the other. You have to drag up to unlock, and it looks very odd. Flash the zip file and you'll see what I mean.

I was hoping it would work because the stock Android unlock bar is more functional than the Sense unlock bar. It would be nice to be able to silence the phone from the lock screen, and I think it would be a great addition to your ROM ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigbiff:
I used the VB.net app from xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=706411 to root. I used all 3 steps and have no issues with installing different ROMs.

Also when are we getting the update deodexed? :)

J/K....
[EVO 4G Android Development] krizno:
Flashed yesterday Rom worked fine camera worked fine all of a sudden camera doesn't work same error SD file permissions running the doedex version
[EVO 4G Android Development] krizno:
As far as I could tell before the cAmera issue I installed the rock player video app then the camera stopped working I uninstalled it soft reset bout 3 times first two times wouldn't even read SD and camera had no buttons or options maybe its a conflict now it works fine maybe u want to test it pm me if u need the link where I got it because I'm not sure if u can post links here app was scanned with lookout no viruses thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
Updated to system software 1.47.651.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] _Burst_:
I see no de-odex link... ?

:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
yea, ive fallen behind, sorry!

it needs to get deodex ... let me actually start on that. calkulin did it last time and khanning was doing a great job before the OTA hit kinda voided all his work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
Wifi-N is enabled by default in 1.47.651.1. By applying that tweak, you actually broke all wifi in your rom. Replace your modded bcm2349.ko with the original file from 1.47.651.1 and all wifi is enabled, including wifi-N.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tndpow:
How do I go about doing this after flashing the rom...
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
i left the previous change log but overwrite all files with 1.47 software. therefore the wireless n tweak does not apply anymore.

appreciate the concern. the most helpful, would have required more work but if the actual ROM had been loaded, its apparent the original file from 1.47.65.1 is being used and this isnt an issue.

this is not true. the 1.47 wifi module is already loaded so there is nothing to be done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joselo:
Tried to use your latest version, but when i try and do a titanium restore it FC the application.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
a little more detail is going to be needed to help.

you ran the titanium restore after you installed this latest ROM? what were you restoring, data or system? what system was the titanium backup made on?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joselo:
Was restoring only missing apps and their data, i was coming from whitslaks how to start over with 1.47.651.1 rom. It was a clean install of this rom, with titanium being downloaded from the market. It would just cause Titanium backup to force close.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Diesektor:
I believe he's asking what ROM you were running when you made the backups.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joselo:
i had put that info there. was able to use titanium restore with fresh .5.3 so i'm using that for now.

Jose
[EVO 4G Android Development] tndpow:
Joey...after installing the rom it is no longer showing me that your rom is installed as it previously did under software information...was this not a included "feature" in this build or have I done something wrong...
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
does titanium open and run just fine its only when you attempt the backup option it force closes?

i was hesitant to put that feature back in because it blocks the system for even acknowledging an OTA exists. i personally like to get notified so i at least have the choice to accept or reject.

what do you think?
[EVO 4G Android Development] tndpow:
Personally I would like to see the rom has been installed....I don't install the ota update until the brilliant mind here tell me it is safe to do so...;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
Joeykrim

I just rooted my phone again using unrevoked3. Can I install your kitchen over the rooted ROM from unrevoked3 or do I first need to install the ROM in this thread?

Thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
great question.

my online kitchen and my ROM are independent. i prefer to design universal functions which are independent of each other giving the user the most flexibility possible.

hopefully that helps clarify!
[EVO 4G Android Development] kpoz:
Thanks! That definitely helps. I love your kitchen. It really makes my phone fly when the various HTC apps aren't acting like dingleberries in the background.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joselo:
the app loads fine, its only when the batch restore starts that it force closes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
still need more details to help isolate the issue.

what is contained inside the restore? system software? system software version? data? 3rd party apps?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbombs16:
I flashed this over the newest fresh rom and it just gets stuck at the white screen that says HTC EVO 4g. I even cleared everything (data, cache, etc.) prior to flashing.

I never get to the sprint 4g animation.

any help?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
yea, fresh rom loads a custom kernel. this ROM assumes stock kernel is being used.

i've attached a link to the stock kernel you can flash. i'll add the stock kernel into this ROM's next version so it clears off any custom kernels other ROMs might have loaded previous. its really hard to account for all changes previous ROMs might have made on a system, but hopefully this covers them all!

i should have a custom kernel coming soon too..

http://www.joeyconway.me/evo/stock/boot-1.47.img

using flash_image - http://www.joeyconway.me/evo/tools/flash_image

flash_image boot /sdcard/boot-1.47.img
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
seems like you have a good thing going here JK. thinks maybe i will give it a try.

i am VERY green at this so i just want to make sure i do this right.

i am on damagecontrol 3.2.3 which is 1.47.651.1

full root and nand and su.

i add your zip to the sdcard, reboot into bootloader (or recovery using quickboot)

choose recovery

choose wipe data/factory restore.

i do NOT have to do a davlik cache??

choose flash from sdcard, pick your ROM. let it do its thing

reboot, test functionality of root and su, and off i go

that about sum's it up right?

or since i am on DamageControl 3.2.3 do i really need to use PC36IMG.zip

if so which one...??? just take the one from the simpleroot folder?

or am i thinking to deep here....

**edit**

ok i see the post above mine,, looks like i might have to use the stock kernel.

the link for "using flash_image" doesn't seem to work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
exactly, perfect! i re-uploaded flash_image, should be working now.

im running a custom kernel on my EVO now for a few days, wanting to get comfortable and work out any and all bugs possible before i release. that means this intermediary step won't be needed soon but for the time being, follow my previous post, you're right on track!
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
i may just wait lol, sounds like you have something in your pocket there that you are getting close to sharing with everyone.

maybe i'll give it a spin when its available, seems like damagecontrol isnt anything special at all, not knocking his hard work but frankly, it might be a little faster than stock, but i sit here looking at it and am quesitoning why i went thru all the trouble.

i dont use JIT or any other wacky stuff.

i just want to remove all the bloatware (sprint and htc stuff) and have wifi tether, (usb tether would be sooooo much better) have better battery life, and when the time comes maybe have some nice apps or tools which are only available for rooted devices.
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
Joey -

nevermind,, flashed and running.

it is a bit slower than damagecontrol, noticeably slower, but frankly its no slower than the stock rom since that is what it is.

i dumped all the sprint and htc garbage and am running smoothly.

so whats in store for the next release?
[EVO 4G Android Development] noname580:
WiFi

For some reason my phone is unable to start the WiFi. I was running 1.47.651.1 and rooted via SimpleRoot OTA. Wifi worked fine before and after. Flashed Fresh rom. Wifi worked. I tried to flash the wireless N zip that is integrated into this rom. Wifi didnt work. I did a nand back up to when i first rooted to get back the stock kernel. flashed with this rom and boots and runs fine. For some reason i cant start my wifi. Any help would be great. any other info needed let me know. I am a first time android user. great phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
great question.

the Fresh ROM contains a custom kernel. Each custom kernel requires its own build of the Wifi and Wimax drivers to be loaded with it.

This ROM is designed to work with the stock kernel along with the stock wifi and wimax drivers. The stock wifi and wimax drivers are loaded by this ROM, but the stock kernel is not. I plan on releasing a version with the stock kernel, but in the mean time, please refer to my previous post a few up for directions on flashing the stock kernel - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7239994&postcount=108

only questions I have is on your comment, you tried to flash the wireless N zip which is included with this ROM? there is no wireless n zip which is included with this ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] noname580:
So if i do a nand restore of when i first rooted. I didnt install a custom rom or anything. I rooted and then did a backup. Which should have stock everything. Shouldnt it work then? i am going to try flashing a new wimax radio and see if that helps.

I was talking about the wireless N flash that was released a bit ago chuckhriczko that you integrated into your rom. That why i wanted to try your rom because i couldn't get it to work with the fresh rom. So i thought id try a rom with it already baked in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
the wireless n feature only applied to systems PRE 1.47 OTA. This ROM version 2.0 has the 1.47 OTA intregrated so it already supports wireless N.
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
Joey,

i was going to ask but didnt... what is the goal you have in mind for this rom?

is it just to keep a slightly tweaked stock rom or are you heading down a path where you plan on doing some heavy customizations?

I know you stated your goal in the first page but it seems too simple. lol. but simple is good right.

i mean i realize the phone is limited, it will never do what the iphone does with regards to graphics and certain apps but the android does things it doesnt, but as i rooted my phone and played around i found myself wondering why root. truthfully, the only thing i have found that makes it worth it is WiFi Tethering and even then,,, its uses are limited to only times when you dont have internet and you have a device w/ WiFi.

I am truly truly wishing someone would come out with a working USB tether that doesnt require wifi to be used.

because currently you can usb tether but only over wifi and thats just silly.... how often do you need internet and not already have it, or not have a wifi device that can use it.

so far today battery life seems to be lightyears better than what i was getting with damagecontrol 3.2.3 though DC was faster.

wifi, tethering, gps, everything works, as it should since you never touched it as i understand it.

i renamed (did not delete or move) all the garbage sprint and HTC apps including footprints and the other stuff they say not to remove, and i am running just fine. so its possible that maybe it was the pre 1.47 roms that had issues with removing those apps because i have tried 3 roms and thus far none of them have given me any issues when i rename all those bloatware files.

for me right now i guess i would like to know how i can tweak the speed of the phone when flipping thru apps, market, internet, etc. and of cours ei have no idea how without learning the SDK from the ground up i suppose.

i am liking what i am seeing so far and am eager to see whats next.

on the subject of the 802.11n... its not really N with regards to speeds so dont think that you will be pumping out 150mbps or even 300mbps data rates.

my phone connected at a max of 65mbps and even though that is faster than standard 802.11G from what i have seen i do not think the phone's wifi shipset is capable of the 300mbps or even the 150mbps 802.11n standards..
[EVO 4G Android Development] Neo3D:
I don't understand what's "clean" about this ROM?

I tried it and all of the Sprint bloatware is still installed on this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
the word clean in the title means a new, complete, fresh and/or clean install, erasing any previously installed system, with an install of the stock system with root access (su binary) and basic developer apps included (busybox, flash_image, remount, etc). on another thought, clean could also imply nothing has been ghetto hacked or tweaked ... but that could also be implied by the term stock.

the word stock in the title implies stock which from sprint's distribution includes all "bloatware".

if you personally dont like sprint's stock system, as you used the term bloatware which carries a negative connotation towards stock supplied software, i have a tool to backup and remove unneeded apps - http://www.joeyconway.me/evo/custom/ . i provide the tool separate of the ROM because I dont believe I have any divine knowledge in which apps all users should or should not have. I'd prefer to provide the tools and resources for users to make their own educated decisions on how best to customize and personalize their systems. Not everybody agrees with this approach and I'm fine with that. There are many other options on XDA and in my opinion, that's what makes a community great.

hopefully that helps clarify the terminology being used - on a related side note to the terminology of the word clean being used in relation to system software, i had a flash back to installing Win OS and Apple OS (back in the day) with a check box under the advanced options saying Clean Install, meaning it would wipe the existing system and install on a brand new copy of the system...
[EVO 4G Android Development] v_lestat:
You can remove most of the bloatware using root explorer found on the market. Just load it and browse to the /system/app/ folder and delete, move or rename the apk files you want. But as you may know be cautious as to what you remove....

Joey i just wanted to pet you know your rom rocks. Its not as fast as the othera but my battery life is wicked. Over 14 hours i believe and still around 40% battery left. Granted i am not hammering away at it but still, the other roms included a stock sprint rom gave me about 1/2 this much battery life at 40%.

Keep up the aweaome work and i cant wait for the update coming!
[EVO 4G Android Development] xxbabiboi228xx:
Joey so your saying this new deodexed Rom you posted does not have a stock HTC kernel ? If not can I place the official boot.img to go along with this Rom ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
yes to both questions.

ill try and release a ver in the next day or two with stock kernel bundled and then my customized stock kernel bundled!

im currently running my slightly customized stock kernel bundled with the deodex system and so far no bugs but wanna make sure its all running smoothly before i release it!
[EVO 4G Android Development] meatgel:
I installed the deodex version and could not start WiFi. Rebooted a couple of times and it still didn't help. Was all after a fresh flash and nothing installed. Hadn't even changed the wallpaper yet. :) Each time I tried to start WiFi it just said "unable to start."

Anyway, I flashed the netarchy-toastmod 3.7.2a kernal and that fixed the WiFi thing.

I am back to setting my phone up again. I always love your ROMs and am not complaining at all ... just mentioning in case it's not just my phone.
[EVO 4G Android Development] joeykrim:
its not your phone, its your kernel. wifi and wimax modules must match the kernel.

i dont load any kernel with my ROM, but i gave directions for how to handle this issue a few posts up with a link to the stock kernel.

by loading my ROM, you load stock wifi and wimax modules. by having a custom kernel on your phone netarchy-toastmod, the kernel and modules mismatch.

looks like as more people experiment with different ROMs they load different kernels and have this mismatch situation you describe and has been described a few posts up.

i'll try and get new ROM version with the stock kernel up soon to prevent these types of issues for those who have trouble with mismatched kernel and module versions ... hopefully in the next few hours.
