Please help! Lost WiFi!

I followed the directions exactly. Except I did everything with ROM Manager. Did a backup and wipe. The first update went perfect. Rebooted. Reinstalled ROM Manager from the Market. Flashed the radio. Did not do any kind of wipe for this. Rebotted. Opened RM again and I got a failure notice. I reinstalled ClockWorkMod on the advice of another post I found then flashed WiMax. Rebooted. Then reinstalled some stuff from Titanium Backup but NOT System data or anything HTC.

Everything's awesome!!! 8mp camera. Google Goggles works perfectly. 4G indoors where I never had it before. I don't have one single bar of 4G in my bedroom but I'm getting over 1800mbps up. Now thats loving.

But I have lost my WiFi. All it says is scanning, connected, disconnected over and over. I'm afraid to reflash anything until I get some advice.

I did all this over Unrevoked3 and SetCPU.

I also lost Preflock on SetCPU. I get an error saying incorrect Kernel. ???

I have also lost Wireless Tether. It turns on and has SU Permissions but cannot be recognized by my iPad.

Can someone please help? I'm coming from the iP4 and a super noob to Android but I've done my homework.

Thanks. Really appreciated.
[EVO 4G Android Development] snowwy66:
hope you all test your speed before updateing the radio and wimax. cuz i was getting 7 download before the update. now i'm down to 2.

that's testing 4g. i used to have full bars. but now i have to go outside.

i wipe and install software, THEN, radio/wimax.

anyone have the old files by chance?
[EVO 4G Android Development] seventyfive:
I was having this problem too but after doing the test a few times it went back up to 7... still not the 9-10 i was getting but i'll take it for now. We have limited 4g in LA so it's not a deal breaker for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] quietpopcorn:
I think this picture shows a good reason to use 2.2 vs 2.1.

But, as you said, it's not for everyone. My pictures are still shooting at 8 MP & I don't have an HDTV. Or anything else HD so I don't need HDMI out. Sure, it'd be nice to have, but I promise you that I'll never use it. Hell, I don't even have cable. But now I'm just getting into another rant.

2.2 is so much faster than 2.1, IMO. The set of pictures on the left is from my wife's Evo & the one on the right is my Evo.

PRI

Has anyone checked their 3g speeds with this update?

It looks like this update still has the old PRI 1.34 and not the new 1.40.

There has been alot of posts that the older PRI 1.34 was slowing down the 3g speeds, is there any chance this is going to be corrected anytime soon?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jetjock007:
5 hours later.... no luck

so I read all of the posts and many more online. I bought my EVO a month ago running 2.1 and yesterday jumped on the opportunity to upgrade the software OTA. I did so and was happy because of the improvements, however, I really really want this phone to be rooted so I decided to dedicate 30 minutes tonight to this. 5 hours later, still no success.

I downloaded simpleroot, htc sync 2.0.35, and tried several different things. I watched the videos and followed each step, well once you read all the way down, this does not work if you updated to 2.2 OTA last night.

I then searched all over the internet and different forums for a way to reverse the 2.2 OTA software upgrade...and no luck. I stumbled on a website and found the link to the ROOTED version along with 2 additional radios needed to be installed. I did this and no luck at all.

Yes....this took me 5 hours :mad:, if anyone knows of a "Rooting FROYO for DUMMIES", please let me know, I would buy it at this point. I want to get rid of some apps and also cut down on the applications that autorun that cant be turned off unless rooted. There is a screen shot on in which my EVO matches almost everything except for PRI VERSION. My PRI VERSION 1.40_003 .... the screen shot in the link PRI VERSION 1.34_003.....

Please, Please....someone fill me on what I am missing. I am awesome with computers, but Androids apparently have me stumped!!!:confused:

Some of this will not make sense, please email me at jetjock007@gmail.com, they wont let me posts website links.

[EVO 4G Android Development] goldenmonkey1:
I'm not exactly sure if I'm fully rooted or not... Can anyone solve this for me?

Last week I rooted using Unrevoked3. I was told that I was not "nand unlocked" by a friend who said that unrevoked wasn't the way to root. When the 2.2 OTA came, I tried to upgrade to it, figuring I'd just re-root later and let it override my root, I was impatient.

It wouldn't let me. Nor could I reflash the stock rom.

I downloaded this zip, and flashed it, flashed the radio, flashed the wimax, all worked successfully and I am running this rom.

My question is, am i "nand unlocked" and "fully rooted", or is there more I need to do to be fully rooted? I plan on upgrading to damagecontrol 3.5 when it's available, and wanted to make sure there's nothing more I need to do still.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dgreyesq:
I had the same problem. It is a problem that arises when you restore some of your old settings, although I am not sure which one. Wipe, then flash this file, go to SMS, click new message and you will see the voice symbol on the keyboard. I ended up doing this and restoring only applications and some system info, and retained the voice. If you try and get back exactly where you were pre-update, you end up with language choice instead.
[EVO 4G Android Development] quietpopcorn:
From what I've heard in this thread, you can flash this rom without being nand unlocked.

But I don't know that that's 100% correct. So...yeah. Guess I didn't really answer your question...
[EVO 4G Android Development] Just_s:
If you read the posts in this forum, even just the first couple of pages, you will see that the official OTA that you flashed has not been rooted yet. You would have had to have waited and flashed one of the rooted releases. Now you'll have to wait until some slick dev roots official 2.2. Probably won't be to long a wait. There are some very talented devs working on the EVO development. I recommend you just hold tight and enjoy official Froyo until this happens, lest you do something irreversible.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jd9900:
please don't blame a kernel or a kernel dev if you haven't done a full wipe. Especially since we are beta testing are this point. I swear by netarchy and his work.
[EVO 4G Android Development] GizmoGuy:
Netarchy is da man!

Rooted Froyo, almost BEFORE HTC/Sprint's release! :eek:

Working great, even when OTA update failed (due to unrevoked 3 :(). AND, no loss of tethering, Titanium, AdFree, etc... :)

Still restoring Apps ("Install", "Done", "Install", "Done"...), but loving 2.2 so far!

Thanks so much for your efforts! :D

Check out titanium backup. Your smile will be wider.
[EVO 4G Android Development] halfelite:
I reflashed with this version. but my build number is still showing 3.26.651.6. Is it because I did not do a wipe i wanted to test the new build ontop of the leaked one.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tampasbestdj:
That is the new build, the title build number is a typo 3.26.651.6 is the new build.

sent via my evo running ava-froyov3 overclocked!
[EVO 4G Android Development] yornotelppa:
Thanks! ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ChrisChavez:
Flashed this and it's running like a champ. =)

Has anyone noticed how HTC ommited app and settings backup to your Google account from stock 2.2? Arrrrrgh... Very frustrating.

Tried Netarchy's Froyoized kernel on this 7c or whatever and its was cool for a little while until it killed my sd card (wouldn't mount) and absolutely MURDERED my battery.

Restored back to just the ROM and everything is working great.

Can someone remind me the benefits of odexed and unodexed? I know I read it somewhere just can't remember where... =/

XOXO,

-Chris
[EVO 4G Android Development] yornotelppa:
Thanks for the verification, I was afraid that was the problem and was going to break down and go through the process all over again today and see if it fixed the problem.

When you said "restoring only applications and

some system info

" how did you distinguish the system info to restore?

I used Rom Manager to create a backup image of my 2.1 load and then used Mybackup Pro to backup apps and data. But I don't think Mybackup Pro does system settings, I'll have to go back and look through it again and see.

In any case, thanks for the info! :)

So what is the difference between this rom HTC OTA FROYO 2.2 vs. AVALAUNCH-V3REVA?
[EVO 4G Android Development] meyerweb:
Is this reversible?

One question, and I apologize if this has been answered. I didn't see it during a quick scan of the thread.

If I apply 2.2 this way, will I be able to revert to 2.1, either by applying the appropriate update.zip or via unrevoked3?

Many thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] chummer360:
I think if you did a backup, you can go back, just restore it from backup.

Froyo root 101

Ok, brand new xda guy here and I'm hoping that someone can answer at least a few of these quesetions. The only rooting ive done is the simple unrevoked one touch root on my evo. That got wiped when sprint sent that ota update out back in june. I really want to jump to 2.2 but not if its gonna keep me from ever rooting (rooting=freedom!) n e ways i really only want to re-root for free hot spot ability and cpu clocking(really helped with managing the evo's battery life). I see this post but im still a lil confused, so can be a good sport and answer some of my inquiries? First off:

-What is the difference between this "final build rom" and waiting for the "kernal source" to be released?

-Will putting this rooted 2.2 rom on my phone wipe my data?

-Will this rom fix the 30fps cap on the evo?

-Will there ever be a simplified version of this rooted rom?

-Is this rom based off of the final ota Froyo sent by Sprint as of 8/3/10?

-What else would i need to do after running this rom on my phone to ensure that is updated and at optimal performance?

If i left any other info out that you would like to devulge please make me aware. Im jus trying to get my head wrapped around this stuff as i have never done a FULL root of any kind on my phone.........
[EVO 4G Android Development] tokuzumi:
- Putting 2.2 on your phone will not wipe your data (although doing the steps below will wipe the phone, so backup anything you want to save)

- This will not fix the 30 fps issue (you can install Netarchy's 3.7.6c kernel, to fix this - use this version only for 2.2 roms)

- Time will tell if a simpler install will be released for the 2.2 roms

- A few roms are out there based on the newest Sprint/HTC rom. Look for 3.26

The easiest way to do a full root would be to follow the instructions in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741294

The OP then recommends Whitslack's method, in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715915

With that, you will have full root access, and nand unlock. You can then flash any rom in this forum.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jimbobtexas:
Works just great. Long-time ShapeWriter user, love it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
Step 1 - Wait (until a method for rooting 2.2 is found).

Step 2 - While waiting read the FAQ's, tutorials and threads regarding flashing so you know wtf you are doing when the time comes.
[EVO 4G Android Development] 77vices:
Wowsers! Thanks for the speedy response...btw

So the kernal is not included in the rom? they two seperate installs
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
Yes, You can restore to a nand backup or flash another ROM (which could be the stock 2.1 [1.47]).

Restoring from the nand backup may be preferred as you go back to where you were (rather than a fresh install of 2.1).
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
How is Shapewriter different from Swype? Watching the demo (on their site) it looks to operate in the same manner.
[EVO 4G Android Development] goldenmonkey1:
I guess my question would be, if I'm not nand unlocked, how do I find out? Is there an easy way to check?

And if not, I suppose I need to wait for simpleroot for 2.2
[EVO 4G Android Development] LAYGO:
First irk:

The lock screen login process is NOT using SWYPE! I love being able to swype my password to get logged in! WUTFUX? Anyone know how to change the lock screen login keyboard?

Oh, and I did what I was supposed to keep 8mp camera from the tip, but I'm stuck at 3mp & details of the image match 3mp, not 8mp res.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
A Kernel is the core foundation of the operating system (Android/Linux/Windows/etc.). This ROM includes the stock kernel. I believe all full ROM's include the core kernel (?). Not sure... maybe there are some updates to ROM's that do not... but I would think most would...

You can replace the kernel (core components of OS compiled in one file) to attempt to modify certain aspects of it.

Some dev's here are creating kernel's that support overclocking, undervolting, wifi tether, FPS fix, etc...

The kernels can sometimes be updated "over" a ROM but may or may not work properly. That's were you have to do your homework (or test it).

So you could install a custom kernel over this (stock) ROM to allow the items noted above (but everything may not function properly).

Once the source for the new stock 2.2 is released from HTC, Dev's will be able to compile custom kernels more easily and modify things (likely with fewer issues).

Hope that helps.

You would need to flash the old radio and wimax too, wouldn't you?

FYI News on Wifi thether

wifi tether is now working on stock kernal the link is below thanks to the guys on fresh rom for posting.

http://android-wifi-tether.googlecod...2_0_5-pre7.apk
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
No. Unless you are having issues with 4G (Wimax) or reception (Radio).

From what I have read and been told, the radio's and wimax operate independently from the ROM... Some even use older radio images with Froyo because they feel they get better signal.

It's general considered good practice to be using the current radio/wimax regardless of ROM... unless you are having issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:

I updated the kernel to the 3.7.6c version and got my Wifi Tether working and confirmed the camera was taking 8M pics although it was saying it was only 3M.

Also, when I took my phone off charger last night after the flash of the kernel, the notification light stayed on. I did not watch to see how long, but long enough for me to notice it as I walked downstairs and into the bedroom and placed my phone on my TV stand. Woke up to the battery at 88%, thought it would have been higher, but I guess the light was on for a little while.... may go back to my Nandroid backup just prior to flashing the kernel and try the updated Wifi Tether linked above.

FIX 4G after HTC Stock Froyo 3.26.651.6?!?!?! PLEASE HELP

I flashed and successfully installed and booted up to HTC Stock Froyo 3.26.651.6. Upon doing so, I ran both the patches (Radio-2.15.00.07.28) & (Wimax26023.zip), each respectfully in their own seperate root processes.

I have flashed and reflashed trying to get wimax 4g to turn on, and nothing will give me a 4G signal. I'm in my office (where I've never had a problem with pervious rooted 2.1 verison), and I've also tried outside to get a better signal. Nothing I do will allow me to get the 4G icon in notification bar, nor can I get any signs of actually getting a WIMAX signal.

My 4G Wimax radio isn't working since I moved to 3.26.651.6. I even had tried the Ava-FroyoV3revA & reg. Ava-FroyoV3, without any lucky connecting to a 4G signal. Thus is the reason I decided to move onto to this ROM: HTC-OTA-3.26.651.6-Final-Froyo-Rooted-Odexed-netarchy-signed.

Nothing I do will allow me to get a 4G signal...PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP! I dont want to go back to 2.1!!!

Restore app + system data with Titanium

I am running Damage Control right now and I do my NAND backups and Titanium for apps + system data. My question is, if I go to this room (do the wipe and the radio updates), can I do a Titanium restore of app + system data or will that affect anything with froyo?

Obviously, a system data restore would be ideal.
