Mini FAQ for Myn's thread

So, I have seen the same questions so many times in the last few days that I though I would create a mini faq that I could link and have in my signature. I will add things that I think should be added as time goes on. Hopefully it benefits and helps everybody! I would like to give a big thanks to everybody who contributed information, including the original posters of the information I have linked in this faq.

Question: How do I gain access to the beta?

Question: With all the recovery problems, how do I know what version of the recoveries I need to use? (Updated 1/3/10)

Answer:

First you need to see what size your Nandroid partition AKA "erase size" is (20K or 40K), do that here

If you want to use Amon_RA, there is now a single version that works with both 20K AND 40K nandroid partition sizes. It is linked below.

If you are a ClockworkMod user, there are still separate versions for each nandroid partition size. CWM v2.6.0.1 is the latest for the 20K users, and v3.0.0.5 is the latest for the 40K users. At the time of this update, these files are also available for download within Rom Manager.

40K nandroid - http://koush.tandtgaming.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-supersonic.zip

Question: I flashed RLS4/RLS5 and I am stuck at the white "HTC Evo" screen, help!

Answer:

RLS4 was based on 3.30, which requires the older radios, v2.15.00.09.01

RLS5 was based on 3.70, which requires the newer radios, v2.15.00.11.19

Although both RLS4 AND RLS5 work with PRI 1.77 and PRI 1.90, some people have reported issued with slow phones/data when using PRI 1.90 in combination with RLS4. If you experience this, PRI 1.77 may fix your issues as well.

You can find all of the assorted versions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485

Thanks for maintaining that Calkulin!

Also PRODUCT F(RED) wrote a good post to help you roll your radio's back if you have trouble doing it.

Question: I am using RLS4 and have terrible battery life, what do I do? (Added 1/4/10)

Answer:

This has been a common problem among those using PRI 1.90 with RLS4, try rolling back to PRI 1.77 and see if your experience improves.

Question: How do I get HTC #17 kernel working with RLS5? (Added 1/4/11)

Answer:

OP by lowetax

With RLS5 running wipe dalvik-cache/cache (multiple wipes is always better)

Flash radio 2.15.00.09.01

Reboot, should boot fine

Wipe dalvik-cache and cache again

Flash HTC #17

Reboot

Update Profile (in Settings)

Reboot

OP by frankpreyes

Check out my previous post on this subject. I am on Myns release 17 kernel and the latest nightly. Do not flash the kernel, and the radio and the PRL at the same time.

Boot to CWM recovery, after you have all of the necessary files (Myn's 17 update-htc-kernel-2.6.32.15-g59b9e50-17.zip, the EVO_Radio_2.15.00.09.01 and the EVO_PRI_1.77_003.

You can get the radio and PRL from this site:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485

Wipe Cache, Davlik cache.

Flash the kernel. Then flash the radio

DO NOT FLASH THE PRL YET

Boot to screen, and let your evo settle down.

Then Nandroid backup

Then using CWM, flash the PRL
