I got boot loops trying to install the smoothsense theme, guess themes are broken?
[EVO 4G Android Development] AustinQuattro:
when I downloaded all the different radios/baseband/etc and I went into settings and "update PRL" it worked. But I'm so foggy headed right now since I'm installing a transmission the past few days, and I'm trying to figure out the phone too. I've got such a headache!
[EVO 4G Android Development] fenixjn:
Well this happened right after I flashed the new radio (the regular one, not the Wimax one) I flashed that and then the ROM, I honestly did not check if 4G was working right after. I already restored my nandroid backup and now I'm waiting on the phone to start...

Swype

First post and just wanted to say thanks, this site is full of information and appreciate all you guys do. That being said, I installed fresh 3.5 today and now I'm having problems with Swype force closing. I had the beta version running on 3.4 but now it contantly force closes. I've cleared the data, unistalled and re-installed both the Swype app and Rom. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
Uninstall Swype Beta and restart the phone. The ROM comes with a native install of Swype.

HTC EVO hung on HTC EVO 4G screen

Hi all,

I hope someone can help. I just downloaded freshrom 3.5.0.1 and attempted to apply the update my phone was hanging on the htc evo 4g screen. I let it sit there for like 10+ minutes but nothing happened so I reset the phone and restored from back up but the same thing is happening to me.

I don't think the phone is bricked because I can get into recovery mode. I'm running amon's recovery but the problem is that I didn't copy the fresh update to the root of the sd card before I did the update. I just applied it from fresh updater. Which said to use clockworkmod if I have problems but I'm not sure how to get booted at this point.

Does anyone have any suggestions. I'm hosed at this point with the restore not even working...

Thanks :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] fenixjn:
Well even after falling back to 3.4.0.1 4G is no go, I flashed the previous radio, same thing. I'm now checking the usual: RSA keys, profiles, etc...
[EVO 4G Android Development] bgtodd1:
Can you pop out your SD Card and stick it in a computer? Then download the .zip to the root? (Or actually just move it)
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
I tried flashing older radio and wimax updates, no go. Going to flash back to 3.4.0.1 now. Will let you know the results.
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
So I unistalled and deleted all the Swype files to ensure I completely rid the beta version and rebooted my phone. The only change was that there was no longer a swype option in the language and keyboard menu. After seeing this I just reinstalled the fresh 3.5 rom, and the same thing, only swype settings, no option to use. Any other suggestions?
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
Not sure then. Swype eventually reappeared as an input method after several reboots for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
Mother. Of. God. Reflashing back to my 3.4.0.1 nandroid backup still doesn't work! 4G scans, briefly says "Connecting to Sprint", then goes back to "Scanning..." again :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] :
Thanks.. I'll just keep at it and hope it reappears.
[EVO 4G Android Development] secondechomatt:
installed simply, no problems and running flawlessly all day.

Thanks fresh for another great rom!
[EVO 4G Android Development] AustinQuattro:
so far there's a stack of us with 4G issues...is there anyone who does NOT have the problem with 4G, and maybe they can tell us what they are running and such...I know that sometimes two computers running the exact same thing will behave differently, but it would be nice to know if the 4G problem is the exception or if it's more the rule...
[EVO 4G Android Development] ajsp:
Yes that is exactly what I did! I installed the zip on the root and was forced to do a complete wipe. I'm back up again! FWIW 4G is working fine for me on 3.5.0.1...
[EVO 4G Android Development] fenixjn:
Well everything that could break 4G is fine: keys are OK, updated profile and checked for the MAC file present on the /wimax folder... I'm running out of ideas...

The only thing that I think it could help is to get a logcat from someone with working 4G to compare against mine so we can see if there are missing or additional lines.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fenixjn:
THIS!!!!!!!!

Reflashed the ROM, wiped everything... 4G works!!!! I noticed that people that was complaining about the market issue with a wipe DID NOT complain about 4G... good thing I have TB...

Testing something else... I wonder if 4G would work if after this I restore my nandroid... brb
[EVO 4G Android Development] penuch:
Just wanted to say thanks! Just switched over to your rom the other day and so far it has been great. Really loving it. Thanks for all of your work, keep it up!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Swayyy:
Under my battery usage it says maps has used 84% of my battery .. my battery life is still decent but has anyone else had this issue ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
When you say you wiped everything, what exactly do you mean? Sorry I'm not completely up to speed with my Android terminology yet, came from WinMo :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] fenixjn:
If you have RA as recovery: boot into it, perform a factory wipe (which will erase both the DATA and the CACHE partition) and then wipe the dalvik-cache as well. The ROM will take a little longer to boot but should allow you to use 4G again.

Or you could wait until I finish restoring the nandroid backup I made from 3.5.0.1 to check if the problem is effectively that this ROM requires a wipe in order for 4G to work properly or if it just me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
I will wait for your report :)

By the way, should use Titanium Backup only on user apps, or user apps + system data?

EDIT: I have clockworkmod recovery. It has two menu options "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition". I'm guessing I need to do both?
[EVO 4G Android Development] AustinQuattro:
Well, I guess I'm a dumb @$$, because I have Clockwork for backup, etc and even when I wipe everything and delete everything...and even do factory wipe, it still loads up as Fresh, meaning it didn't wipe!

I'm going to load RA for the recovery and use it to wipe everything. I saved everything on my computer from the SD card, so hopefully I'll be able to recover stuff...right?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fenixjn:
Confirmed.

Restoring the NAND backup that I had effectively makes 4G unable to connect again, so the solution is to actually do a clean install to make it work.

If you want your apps and your data back (such as hiscores and others) you should do app+data.

You'll always see Fresh on boot because that its the boot animation, once you are fully loaded then you can check if you can see your apps, if you dont then it means that it effectively wiped all.
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
Uh oh, I wiped cache and data, rebooted and now it's stuck in the "Freshhhhhh" loop. The fun never ends. I'll try to reinstall the ROM from zip again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fenixjn:
Yeah this does not work. You MUST reflash the ROM, simply wiping does not cut it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gerald410:
Had the same exact issue a couple of days ago, flashed burned droid 1.4 and my phone finally booted up normally good luck!
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
GAH! Still no 4G! I'm going to flash the new radio/wimax update and see if that changes anything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ManUtd777:
I'm on 3.3.0.1, and have RipTide's Clear Theme. Would that theme cause any problems? I know a lot of people here have the theme, and was just wondering before I actually move up to 3.5.0.1.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
Yes it will different frameworks theme devs are working on it

Did you update your profile?

If you have your MSL

Phone > Dial ##3282# > Edit Mode > Enter MSL > Data Profile > Restore > OK

If you do not have your MSL

Settings > System Updates > Update Profile
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
I did Update Profile and Update PRL. No effect. Scanning... Connecting to Sprint. Then goes back to Scanning...

I installed the new Radio/WiMax/PRI/NV, no effect.

Despair setting in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
This just went from bad, to worse:

http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/241104-my-4g-gone.html

I have no RSA Private Key lines. I used Clockwork to flash the ROM and radio updates. This is bad... very bad :(
[EVO 4G Android Development] chaoticallysweet:
My phone is garbage after my 3.5 debacle, my own fault.

The upgrade from 3.4 to 3.5 went fine but I had to add Manup's theme... put me in a bootloop. Took 2 hours ( tried to push recovery via adb and phone) and 2 sd cards to restore to most current backup.

Had to downgrade to 3.30 backup < phone boot loop on most current nanroid>, Reflash 3.4 and then restored most current backup( which was located on 2 sd card). It did not help that the backups were located on diffrent sd cards.

Phone is acting buggy as hell, screen touch unresponsive at times, random reboot, volume issue, calls fade in out. Just trying to use the phone as a phone is hell let alone using the other tools.

Sigh....all the trouble it took to get back to before 3.5 don't know if I want to deal with trying to fix the sh*t. I will try a full wipe and reinstall of 3.4 later. Dang!:mad:
[EVO 4G Android Development] AustinQuattro:
You know what REALLY sucks is how many people just lost 4G forever...including me...Mother Fudging Summama Bish...

I hate everything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] AustinQuattro:
We did it to ourselves, but someone ought to update the page where you update the radio, etc to let people know that using Clockwork will likely cause them to lose 4G forever...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Toxin715:
So just wondering, all this 4G lost forever has been done by using clockwork?
[EVO 4G Android Development] fenixjn:
so you did not test for your keys? Yeah, if you dont have them might as well start the unrooting process so you can take it to Sprint. And yeah... clockwork does not save 4G keys... it's not that clockwork breaks the keys. Sorry about that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
Is it the Wimax update that did it? So that's it? No recourse? I'm just SOL?

I got EVO from BestBuy.com. It's still within 30 days (barely), so maybe I can get an exchange...

The whole thing just seems ridiculous. There is no technical reason why you can't generate new keys like with SSH under Linux.
[EVO 4G Android Development] notasimpleway:
I feel bad for those who lost 4G, but also, the info had been around for a bit. And lots of devs tell you to not use Clockwork even before this.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Toxin715:
Well sorry to hear about the people that lost their 4G, well lesson learned guys :(

May your Wimax rest in peace and harmony with LTE and HSPA+
[EVO 4G Android Development] fenixjn:
Yes there is... you need something that is common to both keys: the one in your phone and the one in Clear/Sprint's database. Since you dont have the one in your phone there is no way to retrieve that key unless you can somehow get that 'common element' so the key can be regenerated.

Since you are within 30 days I recommend you start the unroot process ASAP and exchange the phone and make sure you flash RA as your recovery to avoid another issue like this on the new device.

As a far as what caused the keys to get lost: many say it is related to flashing a new radio others to just flashing a new ROM, in all honesty I have no idea what exactly causes the loss of such important data within the device but the fact that this loss makes the devices lose a very important feature which defines the device itself and that there is no on-board backup for this seems odd.
[EVO 4G Android Development] willy900wonka:
I've had the phone stick on the splash screen several times.

I try to evaluate the circumstances in terms of least invasive options first. SO I remove the battery and try to reboot, as a first choice. So far ( with this rom and RA )I have been lucky all except for once. That time It required and full wipe and a restore.

In prior cases I have had to re-root (before S-off) and start from scratch.

I try to keep the same order of evaluation - least to most invasive recovery options.

Wipe > restore> stick on splash 10 min> pull battery> reboot

if not then

plug your sdcard into a computer and move the 3.5.01 rom to the root of the sdcard reflash.
[EVO 4G Android Development] morfinx:
That's why I said technically. There is no reason why my phone cannot generate another private key. But there is no way to update Sprint's database with the new public key, thus we are stuck. Anyways, I still can't believe this thing happened. It was not outlined in any of the guides I've read, nor is there any warning in Fresh's radio update instruction page. Lesson learned... the hard way.

Will this method work to return the phone back to stock?

http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/19278-how-unroot-return-stock.html

Thanks for all of your help. Sorry if I seem a bit grouchy, I've been at this for nearly 10 hours now. Need to get some sleep. Great way to spend one's Christmas vacation huh?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
flipzmode is a pretty smart guy. I would be pretty surprised if he supplied everyone with a wimax update that killed everyone's wimax.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
All I want for Christmas...

Is to understand why my sdcard will mount when I first flash this rom, then after about 2 hours of use will no longer mount.

It is just friggin weird. :(

I'm adding nothing. I am changing no settings. It just suddenly changes.

** Ok, last try. I am thinking that the problem is something in the data I have been restoring with Titanium that is somehow corrupted. So I did a fresh flash and re-installing ONLY apps and no data. Hope like hell this works.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Jbcarrera:
you've been restoreing data? that maybe your whole problem the framework is completely different from previous builds any thing that is attached to the old framework and restored on this new framework is gonna cause major errors such as yours
[EVO 4G Android Development] secondechomatt:
bingo. when you install the system data, it contains all kinds of stuff that will cause this newer framework'd rom to run all wonky.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
Has, uh, anyone else..... completely killed their phone applying the radio update from Fresh Updater?

I updated to 3.5.0.1. All is well. Update WiMax in Fresh updater, phone reboots.. appears to install at the recovery menu.. reboot....... phone is dead.

Won't turn on. Won't charge when off and plugged in. Does absolutely nothing whatsoever. No lights, no indications of any sort of activity at all. Completely dead.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scriptx:
For those of you who have fubar'd their wimax partitions, check to be sure that you never created a RAMon backup before.. mabye wayy back when in the earlier days of flashing/rooting. Check your SDCARD for a nandroid directory. You're looking for wimax.img. You may just be in luck.

It sucks that clockworkmod has a better interface, and has ROM Manager as a front-end, but RAMon does things properly (for the most part). Community should petition for a hybrid!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
Will any old wimax.img from your phone work? Is it possible to have a wimax.img that doesn't restore 4G ability?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ScaryBugThing:
Reading these horror stories makes me want to confirm:

When I create a Nandroid backup in the Amon_ra recovery, that automatically backs up my wimax keys? Do I need to do anything additional?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ladyfinesse08:
Downloaded the rom last night and I love it. Switched over from MIUI so its nice to be back on sense. I managed to use UOT Kitchen to cook a theme so that I have the transparent taskbar. I was wondering tho if someone could help me find out how to change my app drawer so my icons are 5x5? Again thanks for all the awesome work and any and all help is greatly appreciated.

p.s. Would love if instructions were made basic as possible. I actually dont know too much about customizing stuff on my phone just a noob who is willing to google **** and experiment.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scriptx:
assuming that wimax.img is a 1:1 image of your wimax partition, it is only safe to say that it's contents are as good as they were when you created the image! so yes, it is possible to have broken your RSA keys before making a previous backup.. however, the likelihood is low, and is certainly worth investigating for those of you currently SOL.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scriptx:
RAMON backs up your entire wimax partition (which includes your RSA keys). There are tutorials for extracting just your keys so that they can be stored safely someplace.
[EVO 4G Android Development] kaw900r:
Yes

Yes the same thing happened to me and i went and got a new phone Monday tried to load it again but locked me up and went with update from another rom and all is GOOD. I did get the phone wth the white back but changed the back so now i have a race strip phone or a skunk phone. lol :cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
No, I have been only restoring data attached to the apps I am restoring. No writing to /system at all. Also, the phone will mount fine for many hours after I do the restore. Then, suddenly, boom, won't mount anymore.

This morning I did everything again. Complete wipe, fresh flash, very carefully handpicked the apps and data I would restore - NO system data. Everything was perfect all morning. Ran downstairs for breakfast, came back and tried to mount - boom, NOTHING. I mean seriously WTF?

Not a hardware problem as I can still mount in recovery.

I am completely at a loss on this one.

Anyway, typically when I want to download something to the sdcard it is because I am planning on flashing it and need to be in recovery anyway, so this is only a small hassle but it just annoys me when something is broken and I can't figure out why.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
Someone help me out here...

Are we saying that flipzmode is intentionally recommending a WIMAX flash that is breaking phones? That is actually pretty serious and needs to be addressed by him in the OP with a suggested fix.

I just looked and as far as I can tell, he is still recommending the flash with no explanation of the problems people are having.
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
has anybody reached out to fresh about the radio flash problems?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
Seems to be, yeah. The update literally broke my phone dead. No hope of recovery.

Seeing as how mine apparently wasn't an isolated incident, I'd strongly, strongly recommend everyone NOT to update to the new radio.

Anyway, the refurb unit I got is 3.29.651.5 (radio 2.15.00.09.01). What's the current preferred method of rooting/installing RA recovery and keeping the wimax.img?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bielinsk:
I flashed with no problems. The problem comes up if you pull the battery when the radio is flashing, or if you do not boot into the ROM, then flash the radio.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 702DROID:
the radios arnt the problems its people using clockwork recovery

should always flash one item then reboot try it out then flash next thing never recommend flashing multiple times then expecting a good reboot
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
Are people having problems using Rom manager?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mitchellvii:
I fully booted into the Rom before flashing and did not pull the battery. The 4g at my house is dicey at best anyway. I'll go to the local Sprint store and see if I can connect.

Is flipzmode even monitoring this thread?

Mitchell's EVO
[EVO 4G Android Development] muzz3256:
Well bugger.... I wish I lived in a 4G area so I can see if I can connect, I suppose I could make a trip 50 miles east where there is 4G to test.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
I just tweeted at him about him, if that counts.
[EVO 4G Android Development] david279:
He's not really monitoring all that much thats why he should be contact. Also did you flash the combo radio with Rom manager and/or having problems?
[EVO 4G Android Development] uget2seconds:
whoops for some reason i thought i was on Myn's thread... sorry! :D
[EVO 4G Android Development] muzz3256:
So I used AMON-RA, I should be safe then?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jonnythan:
I had RA installed on my phone, not Clockwork. I used Fresh Updater to update to 3.5.0.1 and rebooted. Checked everything out, it looked good. I used Fresh Updater to update the radio. Phone rebooted, appeared to install, then when it rebooted it just went dead. Completely, 100% dead. No charge light, will not turn on. Wouldn't do anything whatsoever.
