Lol this first part is funny, yes over clocking is an advantage, and some kernels save battery, I would also like too know how to back up my contacts?

Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
piece o cake...

I found, before I even rooted, that if you open contacts, and hit 'menu', one option is 'import/export'. Select it, select export. Creates a contact backup file on SD card. After flash, contacts>menu>import/export>import. Piece o cake. That made my decision to go ahead and root that much easier. Even keeps the Facebook links, if you had em set up before export.

Don't wanna reread this whole thread, anyone confirm that if I flash custom kernel, I can flash back to stock if I want to fix camera someday? Oh and any ideas why my phone would just hang when flashing new radio?

Thanks in advance.

Scott
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohack99:
Thanks buddy, I'm make sure you cleard all your data and doesn't hurt to do factory reset, to back up your old kernel just do a nand back up through your recovery, by tuning phone off them turn back on and hold volume down button, or if you are rooted download quick boot from market

I'll probably do a full wipe and reflash and then TI restore my settings.

Using Amon_RA's v1.7.0.1.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xdasnoeber:
Look at the top of the screen in recovery. It's somewhere up there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xdasnoeber:
1click Simple Root. Just click the flash recovery button and choose RA.
[EVO 4G Android Development] liquidkernel:
Decided to stop being lazy and wiped. Keyboard is normal now :) Thank you everyone.

I think buying TI was the best app purchase I ever made. Unattended restore is a life saver; I just went downstairs to do laundry and it was done when I came back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] benfreak1:
No really I can't fig this out at all... I have downloaded this and put it on my SD card, renamed it everythign you can think of. When I'm in recover mode all I get is...

reboot system now

apply cdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition.

I guess I just can't fig out how to root froyo on an EVO. I have run "RUU_SuperSonic_S_Sprint_WWE_3.26.651.6_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_NV_1.40_release_140444_signed.exe", anyone wanna help me on what to do next?
[EVO 4G Android Development] evohack99:

Deleted Browser Accidentally

I deleted the browser apk and odex files accidentally. I am running this rom and the custom kernal. How do I get these files to reinstall? I am not having any luck.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SteelH:
You wait for someone to figure out how to root OTA Froyo.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrbrandonscott:
So my 4G IS working now. I did the same thing you did, but I had to do an extra step. After using RA via simpleRoot and installing this ROM, I still did not have 4G. I still had to rename the MACaddress.tree.xml, then my 4G worked.

I am one happy camper
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ar3ohdee:
Wait for Froyo Root???

This is NOT the Root solution for the Froyo OTA??? I thought it was, SO I still cant get root access if I installed the OTA Froyo 2.2 update???
[EVO 4G Android Development] meyerweb:
^^^

Correct. This is how to apply FroYo to an already rooted phone, not how to root FroYo.

HTC Messaging Widget

Has anyone had any problems using the HTC messaging widget? I did a full wipe before I flashed the rom, then I flashed the radio and wimax updates. When I long press a home screen, click "add widget", and select the HTC messaging widget, it gives me the screen where I would usually select which style I would like, the picture is blank and I can't scroll between different options. If I press the select button, I get a force close that says "com.htc.RosieUtility" crashed.

Anyone else experience this?

Edit: After rebooting the phone, all of my widgets where in different places, but everything works (even the messaging widget). I'm guessing (though I'm not positive) that this was my first reboot after the flash, and subsequent reboots haven't messed with the location of my widgets, so I guess I just needed to reboot once.

Also .79 same 4g scanning issue
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrbrandonscott:
I did have 4G scanning issues, and I am on .79, but the issue for me ended up NOT being the HBOOT. I was using Clockworkmod recovery initially. After using RA recovery instead (through SimpleRoot), and renaming the macaddress file, 4G begain working. Still on HBOOT .79... just my two cents
[EVO 4G Android Development] coil1002:
I am fairly new to all this I dont think I am using the clockworkmod I used pc36img to root then used recovery console to flash all the roms when all was said and done no 4G everything else works though I tried renaming the .tree.xml file did not work
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
Flash the ROM again.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
My radio and wimax files won't flash. After installing ROM, I did reboot, then tried to flash radio (many times), always hangs at formatting cache, same with wimax update. Any ideas, anyone? Everything was fully wiped and fresh.

Also, the camera problem, - I pick 3mp, and it's 2048x12xx (which sounds like 8mp, but after taking pics, check details, and file size is only like, 500kb, before was like 4mb. Anyone else experience this, or have any pointers?

Thanks in advance.

Scott

also, I wanna do speed test. what is the one with horizontal bars that people been posting pics of? is that 'quadrantc'? last night, I got the nerve to flash custom kernel, and feels no faster, wanna test. TIA
[EVO 4G Android Development] dalex7777:
I had the same problem on both the 3.26.651.3 "weekend release" and the official .6 release. It wasn't fixed until I did a factory wipe to the new, rooted 2.2 ROM.

Then when I loaded a messages back up from Titanium, I ended up with a hybrid: now I have a toggle that goes from English (En)+Mic or Spanish (Es).

See attached screenshot. This works well enough for me, though I have to long press to get voicesearch instead of just switching keyboard languages.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrbrandonscott:
Scott, does it get "stuck" formatting cache when you install the radio update AFTER you reboot?

When using RA recovery, this is what happend to me:

I installed the 2.2 ROM, then rebooted and it rebooted into Android no problem. Next I installed the radio update, and rebooted just as I did with the ROM, however instead of going to the Android OS, it rebooting back to Recovery on it's own. When it rebooted, it said "Clearing Cache", or something to that effect. I had waited about five minutes, and realized that I already cleared the cache, and it ddn't seem like it was doing anything... so I used volume up/down to move the curser on the menu, then I just clicked Reboot. It rebooted fine to the OS and the radio was up to date. I went back to recovery, installed Wimax, then rebooted, and it went back into recovery as well, and said clearing cache. I waited a minute, then just clicked reboot again.

So in my case, it appeared to be stuck clearing cache, but I think it was done. In clockwork in never said clearing cache after installing the radio, so I am not sure what that was about.

Could yours be a similar issue?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrbrandonscott:
When you install the Rom, which recovery are you using to install that ROM? If you download SimpleRoot, it has a utility to put RA Recovery on. What I did to make sure it worked for me: I flashed PC36img again just to put an older ROM version (I don't know if it was necessary or not since simple root does it again, but I didn't want to risk using simple root on a 2.2 rom and messing something up...). I followed all the steps on the screen, then after I rebooted I clicked step two to Flash the Recovery, then it lets you choose Clockwork or RA.

If you are not sure which recovery you are using, I recommend using simpleroot to put RA recovery on there, then install 2.2, then rename the mac address file. I did this on my Evo as well as my wife's, and it fixed the 4G issue... but maybe your situation is different.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
I'll second this. I did the same thing.

I read this tutorial here and after it "hung" went back and checked again..

http://geekfor.me/faq/flash-radio/

Note at the end where it mentions formatting the cache and a brief status bar. I actually flashed mine a second time to verify and if you are watching the screen, you will see a very brief (3 seconds?) status bar go by and then it's finished (even though you still see the formatting cache message).
[EVO 4G Android Development] LAYGO:
All Quick Boot does is install some scripts in the root of your SD card that run ADB commands: "adb reboot recovery"

Granted, it does beat holding the buttons down to do it, just seemed funny is all (to me).
[EVO 4G Android Development] lbendor:
I have the same problem. 4g was working just fine untill I rooted and flashed this custom rom. I updated both radios as instructed seperatley using a reboot in between. I was having the same "formating Cache" issue hang. However the tutorial above states that is normal using RArecovery. Radio baseband update looks like it worked it is listed as 2.15.00.07.28 under software information. I do not know how to verify wimax radio update....however I can not get a 4g connection and wimax mac address shows up as unavailable. Phone just sits in constant scanning for 4g. Should I do a PRI and PRL update?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DKDiveDude:
Pls help bricked only Internet

Please help me as I just bricked my phone, won't go past HTC page with white background.

A few days ago I installed the HTC-OTA-3.26.651.6-Final-Froyo-Rooted-Odexed-netarchy-signed.zip file from the first post of this thread.

Now let me just tell you all that before I updated with the rooted Froyo above, I rooted my phone first with Unrevoked 3 a few weeks back, and after the wireless-tether and wired-tether apps off Android Google Code worked.

Anyways I was able to update just fine, and then updated/installed the radio and wimax updates fine too.

After update I was using Froyo 2.2, everything seemed fine, and wireless worked, however wired tether did not as I got a "Unsupported Kernel" error message when trying to starting app, so what bricked it was that today I tried installing adp1_6_kernel_update_usbtether_r3.zip as suggested in the FAQ section on the site for the code.

So now how do I fix my phone, other than going to a Sprint store. I downloaded fastboot to my computer, but not sure how to flash/install this rooted Froyo back.

Please help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] tokuzumi:
Pull the battery, and when you power the phone on, hold down the volume down, and the power button. When you get to a white menu, with 3 android dudes at the bottom, use the volume down button to highlight "Recovery". Press the power button. If you see "Amon Ra" at the bottom, and a green list of options, such as Flash Zip from sdcard, wipe, backup/restore, you can just download a rom to your SD card on the phone, and flash it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DKDiveDude:
Thanks for your quick suggestion, however I no longer have the ROM on my SD-card. How can I copy the ROM (I have on my laptop) to the phone's SD-CARD?
[EVO 4G Android Development] DKDiveDude:

If I type fastboot in command prompt, I see a command called "flashall". It that what I need to do?

4g issues

Still not able to get my 4g connection to work with this Rom. Just to review here is what I have done so far.

1. Rooted 1.47.651.1 using latest simple root 2 step process.

2. Installed RArecovery

3. Copied custom 2.2 rom to root of SD card and flashed this rom.

4. Rebooted phone with flashed custom Android 2.2 it booted without problems..no 4g though.

5. Installed custom radio zip on sd card and flashed using RArecovery. Flash process seemed to hang on reboot. "Formatting Cache". However I chose reboot from the recovery screen and device loaded OS without any problems. Checked baseband version and it seems to have updated correctly.

6. Booted up in recovery again to flash new wimax radio. Same procedure as above. Hung on "formatiing cache" again. Not sure how to check if Wimax radio flashed propery or not. However based on a previous post..I understand that it should have and that this "Formatting cache" hang up is somewhat normal.

7.Still can not get 4g running. Mac address says unavailable. I did however try to update profile and that may have cleared out the address?

Any ideas on what to do to get the 4g radio working.....?
[EVO 4G Android Development] lbendor:
How do you remame to mac address?
[EVO 4G Android Development] m3Jorge:
EDIT: Sorry wrong thread....
[EVO 4G Android Development] xdasnoeber:
Did you wipe all caches under the "wipe" menu? You don't need to install the radios again. Just wipe everything and reinstall the ROM. That's all I had to do. Then from now on be sure to always wipe everything when putting a ROM on. I confirmed that DamageControl and Fresh also work with 4G (I'm now running Fresh).
[EVO 4G Android Development] PLuGGPro:
When I look at the MAC address in the Hardware info, it matches the MAC under my battery. Does that mean I don't have a MAC address issue? If not, what else could my lack of 4G problem be?

Posted from my Evo
[EVO 4G Android Development] lbendor:
I did wipe everything the first time around. However will go ahead and try to wipe everything again and reinstall the rom. Maybe that will work. Thanks for the imput. I will post my results shortly.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lbendor:
I rewiped everything except for sd card ext. I am not sure what that does. Can anyone fill me in on that wipe.
[EVO 4G Android Development] quixilver09:
Ok, everything working great except my cell phone service. I get 0-1 bars at my house now...and sometimes roam. Is there any other radio to try? Or can you revert back to a different version radio with 2.2? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Madbrain1:
Don't know if this has been covered and please don't flame. I was able to flash without wipe over unrevoked root stock rom and everything is kosher, Evo is crazy fast now. Btw only used unrevoked because the root instructions for Mac did not work for me.
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrbrandonscott:
lbendor, your situation sounds almost identical to mine. After you install this rom and flash the radio updates, go to your computers command prompt and run the command "adb shell" from the location of your adb file (I used the one in the simpleroot folder)

after the '#' sign, type this command:

ls /data/misc/wimax/

You should see the file 'YourMacAddress.tree.xml'

If you see this file, then type (or paste):

mv /data/misc/wimax/YourMacAddress.tree.xml /data/misc/wimax/YourMacAddress.tree.xml.orig

This changes the name of the Macaddress.tree.xml file. To make sure it did, run the "ls /data/misc/wimax/" command again. If it says .orig on the end of the file, then it worked.

Type "exit" and press enter to leave adb shell. Now if you turn on your 4G, it should recreate the Macaddress.tree.xml file, and fix your 4G.

This is what worked for me. It is the same method mentioned by Saintsfan.
[EVO 4G Android Development] wase4711:
Dont mean to act like a noob douche bag, but I gotta ask this..

If I am NOT rooted, and on .3 OTA, can I install this on my phone, and have a rooted, 2.2 rom?

If so, should I still flash the new radio and wimax rom afterwords, or will I NOT need it?

thanks for being kind to my old, lame ass!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Madbrain1:
No you need root first, this is the ota update that allows you to stay rooted.

Thanx ahead
[EVO 4G Android Development] tokuzumi:
Tethering does indeed work. I can attest to that. I'm using the pre7 version, as I have the stock, unmodified kernel. Most of the folks who used Netarchy's OC kernel need to use pre6. It's not 100% like I stated above, but one of those two versions should work for you. The links for both are in this thread.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ArkViper:
How can i find out what version im running? im new to Android, but not a total noob
[EVO 4G Android Development] tokuzumi:
Are you talking about which kernel version you are running, as in overclocked, vs stock? If you only flashed the rom in this thread, you are stock, and pre7 would most likely be the one you need. If you flashed a separate zip, for OC, you are running a custom kernel, and would most likely need pre6.

Edit: if you look at your camera settings, and check the resolution for your rear camera, if you see 8mp, you are on a stock kernel, and if your top option is only 3mp, you are running the custom kernel.
[EVO 4G Android Development] gmanvbva:
Use some type of file explorer (root explorer, etc.) and navigate to the folder (sdcard/appbak). Find the apk you want to reinstall and select it. This should prompt you to reinstall the application. You may need to need to go into Settings>Applications and check Allow Unknown Sources.

[EVO 4G Android Development] wase4711:
how did you get past security?
[EVO 4G Android Development] mrbrandonscott:
It is unfortunate that your 4G is not working. It's good that your mac address is correct, but the real question is, have you renamed or moved the .tree.xml file yet. Mine had the correct mac in the title as well, but until I renamed it so that it was regenerated correctly, I had no 4G.

Have you renamed or moved the file yet? If that doesn't work, I got nothing for ya. This is the only solution for the problem which I encountered in my specific situation: installed using RA recovery, and renamed.tree.xml file.

Good luck to you.

Why am I not able to install Flash Player 10.1 on this rom?
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
My guess would be that you backed up using titanium or something, and backed up all user apps and data, and system, then restored all backups, including system data. And now you're stuck with old flash lite. Or, when you wiped everything thru recovery, wipe didn't wipe properly. Did you clockwork, or amonRA ? Been reports of clockwork not wiping properly. If neither of these scenarios apply, I don't know what to say. You sure your Rom flashed?

I'm using this ROM, wiped twice for good measure, and only selectively restored apps and app data, and my phone HAS flash 10.1, didn't have to install it.

16gb SD card?

Hello,

I flashed this image and everything seems ok except, I can't see my 16gb sd card. In settings/sd & phone storage it just shows Unavailable. If I put in my 8gb card it sees it no problem. Any ideas?

Thanks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmtw000:
OK nevermind. I just had a coworker of mine with a non-rooted evo running Froyo try my 16gb SD card in his phone...and it doesn't work! Looks like it's a bug in 2.2 and not with this image.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sanjsrik:
How is you don't see the flaw in your logic.

Your 8Gig card works fine, yet, the SAME 16Gig card you tried on two devices isn't recognized, but you see that it's the ROM that's at issue?

Yet, you don't at all see that a card that isn't recognized on TWO devices, one rooted and one not, BOTH don't see your 16Gig card and you imagine it's the ROM? NOT the card?????????

I have the cheapo 32Gig $50 verizon card they were selling by accident for that cheapo price and this is working fine. Might I suggest you get another 16Gig card, AND, have you tried to read this card using a USB reader on your computer?
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmtw000:
My logic is infallible :) I should have mentioned though that the 16gb card worked fine on 2.1 before I updated to 2.2. Didn't work on my rooted 2.2. Didn't work on my coworker's stock 2.2 evo. I flash my evo back to 2.1 and can again see my 16gb card just fine.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bielinsk:
that is not logical. The ROM doesn't effect the sd card slot or the card. It either functions or it does not.

If anything sounds like your SD card may be stuck in some type of Mounted mode in 2.2.

Set it to disk drive, then set it back to charge only and see if it reappears.
[EVO 4G Android Development] jmtw000:
It might not be logical, but that's how it is. And I'm not just talking about the ability to see the sd card from a computer attached via usb. The phone itself does not recognize that there is an sd card in it. And what makes it more odd is that from the recovery console, I can see the 16gb card, but after booting into 2.2 under settings/SD & Phone storage it shows "Unavailable". BTW it's a Sandisk 16GB card.
