First try not to use Rom Manager or Clockwork if you don't have to. All I have seen is problems from both the recovery and the app.

Second which recovery does it load using the power/volume button method?
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
woo RUU for new update is out, cant wait for fresh .6
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
thanks for the replies!!

when the phone is off and i press volume down and power. the white screen with the options for fastboot, recovery, etc. comes up. I click recovery, then the triangle/exclaimation point comes up, I press volume up and power. the stock recovery loads up. then I apply update.zip, and clockwork loads up.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dudleyfire:
No problem. :)

It looks like you need to go with Toast's Unlock Nand Protection ~ Part-2 [Gaining RW Access/Full Root]. Heres the link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701835

Also it wouldn't be a bad idea to backup your SD card and format it once you have completed Toast's Tutorial.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
well, ive had Nand. is it possible to accidently disable it or something? because when I first rooted, I was able to get into amon-ra's recovery. now for some reason, it doesnt work.

and i have so much trouble trying to understand the whole adb thing. I've NEVER gotten to a point where I can use window-recovery.bat to make my phone boot into amon ra's recovery.

is it possible to redo the WHOLE ENTIRE root method, nand and all, WITHOUT unrooting first?
[EVO 4G Android Development] cj2132:
Sorry if this has been asked before but the voice search feature of the google search widget no longer works and I can't use voice to text anymore since installing the latest fresh rom. I'm pretty sure I restored all of the system features in titanium...any suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dudleyfire:
Absolutely!

You can start with Toast's First Method and Finish with his Second Full Root. Un-rooting isn't necessary.

Good Luck :)

[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
i think its just because your last question was weird.

just copy all your apps to your computer, flash, and then reload. unless you did a nand backup, you are going to have to re-install everything anyways.

My 4g would scan and not connect no matter which ROM I was running (My 4g mac address was never f'd). After wasting time with fixes, I finally just downgraded with the .1 RUU, re-rooted (toast 2-part), then flashed Fresh with the latest radio. 4g is rocking again for me.

Yesterday after replacing my EVO for a new one I completely rooted and installed Fresh 5.3.

Only problem is that I am unable to update my profile or PRL, every time I try I get:

PRL could not be updated.
Please try again later. if the
problem persists, you may need
to contact Customer Service.
Error code: 1012

I have rebooted several times, removed the battery for a few minutes, booted and immediately attempted to update the profile and PRL, no go.

Any ideas as to the cause of this? Here's some version info:

Firmware 2.1-update1

Baseband 1.39.00.5.31

Software 1.32.651.6

PRI 1.34_003

PRL 60662

I know the PRL is outdated because on my last EVO with Fresh .3 it was 60667.
[EVO 4G Android Development] m4tt.03:
So I am fully rooted using toast method with NAND unlocked. I currently have fresh .5.3 flashed to my phone. I am having horrible battery results with this Rom. I never really seemed to have these issues with .3. I am using adw launcher as a replacement to stock, I don't have 4th in my area. I have about 30 apps installed. It seems like I am losing 1% every 5 with just basic browsing. My battery life has never been this bad, so I am confused..if anyone can give me any insight or advice that would be greatly appreciated

Thanks..
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
i need help! lol

Ok, I re-flashed the pc36img and that all went fine, rebooted the phone.

adb just DOES NOT work for me, even after following the adb instructions. Although, in my device manager it shows the "my htc" thing.

I put my phone into recovery, aka I selected recovery and now im at the screen with the phone and triangle and exclaimation point.

toasts method says I have to extract evorecovery toa directroy. so i did that, and in command prompt i go to that exact same directory where windows-recovery.bat is. i type "run recovery-windows.bat" just like the guide says, but command prompt says " 'run' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" .

what do i do?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sporkman:
cant wait for the update since flipz got the RUU !!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sirchuk:
I think you're not supposed to "run" a command, you just double-click on the windows.bat file, unless you're in Windows 7 or vista, you instead right-click and run as administrator.

Of course, you need to be able to ADB into your phone for it to work. Make sure you have the latest version of HTC Sync installed, but not running. It installs the drivers. Also, I think you want your phone to be as "charge only" not as a disk drive.

You should be able to have a command prompt in the Tools folder of the Android SDK, then type "ADB SHELL" and you should get a # prompt. If you don't, then you can't ADB in and nothing will work. Check the drivers and try again.

So I've been using the vanilla gallery app, and one thing I've noticed is that I can't access my videos. I can't preview them, trying to go to them from the Camera app (HTC's) force-closes the camera/gallery and trying to go to them from Cooliris or whatever the gallery calls itself does the same thing. Any suggestions besides reverting?

[EVO 4G Android Development] I[E:
I'm in the same boat. I've tried to switch back without re_flashing, but no luck. Also, when I go to the flash updater all off the themes are gone. Not sure what happened.

[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
this adb crap is extremely frusterating.

with htc sync, the phone doesnt find the htc sync on the computer. i didnt have to use htc sync the first time i rooted the phone anyways.

nothing i do will update the drivers any more than they already are. I'm trying to "adb shell" in the command prompt, but it keeps saying it failed to start daemon, cannot connect to daemon"
[EVO 4G Android Development] Sirchuk:
Stupid question since I don't think you would have that error, but might as well start at the beginning eh? Do you have USB Debugging enabled under Settings-Applications-Development..?

What else could it be..hmmm....

Under device manager mine shows up under Android USB Devices, My HTC. Driver is 06/10/2009 version 2.0.7.1, damn that seems old. Maybe I never updated HTC Sync since my Hero, meh, it works!

Just double check it. Then in device manager, under driver, remove the driver and uninstall it. Also uninstall HTC Sync, then go here and download it again and reinstall, see if it helps..?
[EVO 4G Android Development] I[E:
Just flashed over and everything is good again. this time i'll stick with the HTC gallery.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dudleyfire:
Have you tried "adb devices" to check if your phone is seen by adb?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
debugging is always on. and i have the exact same version driver. oh well
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
and btw, i dont mean to sound like im whining. its all these little things, and it irritates me. plus i have a massive ocd problem, so when something goes wrong i cant sleep or get my mind off of it.

right now im rooted, with a stable .6 version. I assume i've lost nand, as my wi-fi tethering no longer works. everything else is working fine for the moment. Maybe i'll come back to it another time or something.

another thing i was thinking, is that im about to be upgrading my computer to windows 7 soon and get some things changed around. So I'll have a fresh platform here to redo everything.

thanks for all your help!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
yeah, i typed that into command prompt, in the sdk/tools directory, and it came up with no devices found

SORRY, it says

ADB Server didnt ACK

*failed to start daemon*

[EVO 4G Android Development] danknee:
No, nothing in that thread fixed my problem, nothing in the other two wimax threads did either.

I had the .6 ota on my phone, so I used the info in this thread to push a .1 mtd0 file to my phone, tricking it to thinking it was still on .1. Next I ran the entire .1 RUU.exe that is on the ROM-wiki page. This was the only way I was able to truly get back to 100% stock, the PC36IMG files left me with the same crippled wimax. Then I rerooted with Toast's 2 part method, with the last steps being flashing Fresh and then the new radio.

That was it, radio gets a great signal again and connects quickly. Before I only got the "scanning" message only, no connection. If your MAC address is wrong you can reassign it to the printed MAC address on the back of your phone through ADB or a diag menu (in another wimax thread).

I saw a bunch of stuff about deleting your wimax tree so that it would regenerate, but after performing the ruu those files were wiped and were not created until the first time I connected to 4G.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dudleyfire:
If the correct driver is installed and USB Debugging is on still to no avail then I would try deleting and reinstalling the newest SDK.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
what about neckface's guide here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705113

with no adb involved. does that seem good?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dudleyfire:
I took a look at it but I would recommend Toast's method. ADB is nothing to be intimidated by. Try installing the SDK on another computer to ascertain if the computer that you are using is in fact the problem. Then try "adb devices".
[EVO 4G Android Development] sonwon:
I did a search so I think this is a new problem. I must have done something wrong since my /sdcard is completely empty. How do I get the contents back, especially fresh-removed folder?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dudleyfire:
A correctly flashed Fresh ROM will create the fresh-removed-apks. The rest of the contents will require data recovery.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
are you sure you didnt format your sd card AFTER installing fresh?
[EVO 4G Android Development] twe90kid:
So weird. I just flashed my other 2 Evos. They are HW003 and they are getting camera issues. Both have force close problems. When I launch them they force close on their own. I full wiped cache, dalvik, and system. Then flashed the rom.

My other phone HW002 doesn't seem to have this problem. Hardware issue?

cant get phone to act like disk drive since fresh install

I rooted my phone, then got a rooted version of the stock rom then got this rom, and LOVE IT. It much faster and i have no issues with 4G or any other issues BUT

When i plug the phone in i only get "debugging menu" to come up but no longer will pop up and give me options to pick like "htc sync, disk drive, charge only"

The debugging menu pops up like it knows its plugged in but i have tried 4 pcs, xp, 7, and all the same results......

Any easy fix for this?:confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] dadoc04:
go into settings/connect to PC

make sure ASK ME is checked.

if its still not working... u can temp fix it by selecting Disk Drive as the default connection... then go back and change to charge only when you're done.

hope this helps
[EVO 4G Android Development] weakgame:
Nope, i set the default to disk drive and it still only comes up as "debugging" and also "ask me each time" was already checked..... :(

Thanks :D

[EVO 4G Android Development] jpatterson350:
Thanks for all the hard work you have put in this rom! I have been running it since day one and I wouldn't use anything else. Also thanks for not letting other devs push you to do things differently! And for the people who cant wait for the "update" ask yourself whats worse waiting a few extra days for a carefree update or causing a bunch of problems that may take hours to fix?

P.S. its not like the update makes your EVO FU***** print money!

this is weird... so i found the reason to why my camera isn't running correctly. I have Advance Task Killer installed. Now if the task killer doesn't kill off the first batch of programs that autostart upon boot, i won't be able ot launch the camera. it must have to do with one of the programs i have on my phone. I'm suspecting it's Fring. but once i killed fring once and start it again, my camera would work. weird!

Edit: Just found out that all updates react the same way when trying to apply the settings through Fresh Updater whether it be Vanilla Lock or Enabling Rosie Rotate and etc...
[EVO 4G Android Development] dudleyfire:
You either didn't do a correct wipe or you don't have full root and/or you missed something before the flash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrkmrk:
Install them manually in recovery; they'll work then.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dudleyfire:
You are missing or not using the correct driver. In my case with this on my win 7 box I had to just unplug all other usb devices and plug and unplug till it was right in the device manager. I realized this when I plugged into my win 7 server and had no problem. I believe it was a conflict with my hero drivers that were cached in a strange way.

Camera apps can interfere with other apps that utilize the camera. Usually I kill all after boot with the exception of necessary apps such as voice, messaging, clock (alarm), music (music widget), and CallFillter (collection calls). Lol
[EVO 4G Android Development] sonwon:
Yupe, I forgot to do the wipe but remembered right after I had the ROM load so wiped then. I never expected the ROM to load stuff too the sdcard. Okay, I'll just wipe and reload since I am not that far anyway. I was just hoping for an easy fix like copy this zip to the sdcard. ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] bigrushdog:
I have JIT enabled and my Evo is smoking fast. Make sure you are using ADW or launcher pro. Also, you may want to bump up you Dalvik heap size to 48 which can be found in the build.prop file in /system. Occationally, I will get a reset when I am Wifi tethered, copying files to sdcard, and running Live Wallpaper all at the same time. Maybe that's just pushing the phone too far.

I followed the gray part until 1.32. My 4g signal doesn't jump back between 3g and 4g. My 4g signal still drops but not as much. It seems to be like how it was when i got my phone.before. I live in nyc and barely got a signal when I first got my phone. And I'm only testing this in the apt for now.

I think the most important thing is that it doesn't keep switching from 4g to 3g.

Have you tried letting android handle memory on it's own? Try Autostarts, and MinFreeManager, and ditch your task killer. You're doing more harm than good.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
Well I've gotten Fresh's rom working on my phone, and everything is good! I have nand as well now. It doesnt necessarily seem much faster, but its smooth and so far no problems.

I did have a problem with QIK force closing, but I just uninstalled and then reinstalled, and it works fine.

I have to appologize though, I went against your advice and used terminal emulator. I uninstalled EVERYTHING on my computer that had to do with HTC drivers, etc., and was going to reinstall all drivers. but instead I went out to hang with some friends. when I was out, it was on my mind, so I just downloaded the terminal emulator and followed all the steps, and then flashed the new rom.

So, i have read a lot of the thread and i just want to clarify a few things before i go ahead and install fresh 0.5.3

My phone is rooted\nand unlocked\RA-evo-v1.7.0.1 installed using simpleroot .1

i already made a nandroid backup and backed up my sd card to my computer

I want to put the zip file for fresh's rom (fresh-evo-0.5.3.zip) in the root directory of my phone

i need to reboot into recovery (power on + volume down)

go to recovery

go to wipe

wipe data\factory reset

wipe cache

wipe dalvik

wipe sd:ext partition

go to flash

select fresh-evo-0.5.3.zip

is that it?

do i update the radio before or after i flash to fresh?

edit:

my radio version is 1.36.00.04.02

my software version is 1.17.651.1
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
flash the radio last.
[EVO 4G Android Development] waterboy100:
so i was correct with what to wipe and everything else?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jasongthang:
yeah sorry! lol

yeah thats all correct. personally, I don't think you have to manually wipe the sd:ext. I think when you do either factory wipe or dalvik wipe it automatically shuld wipe that.

Unless you are using a recovery other than amon ra. for the clockwork recovery, you might have to manually wipe the sd.ext, if it will even work. on the first page of this thread, the dev explains the problem regarding wiping the sd.ext.

but you should be good, let us know how it turns out. we're all learning here, especially me!
[EVO 4G Android Development] waterboy100:
ok, restarting my phone to flash now. let you know in a few
[EVO 4G Android Development] waterboy100:
ok, so the wipes were all good, the sd:ext was not neeed. i forgot that this was only if you had app2sd installed (i think)

its flashing fresh right now.

edit: fresh bootscreen

edit: success!!!!! Now to re-install my apps, get google sync'd up again and get everything perfect.
