Please note that all data will be deleted from the HTC EVO 4G as a result of this procedure. This process does NOT delete data stored on the microSD card. We recommend backing up all of your personal data before proceeding.

Turn the power off. If your HTC EVO 4G is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it

Hold the Volume Down button

Press and release the Power button

You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock

Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button

Press and release the Power button

Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO

If you selected YES, all data including third-party applications will be deleted from the HTC EVO 4G. Once the wipe is complete, the phone will reboot to its factory fresh state.

then go into the recovery and use amon-ra 2.3 and setup your partitions from there worked for me when it was taking long

when i try to flash a file through the warm updater i get "no md5" found. it happens with like 10 updates i eagerly downloaded, only to find out they dont work through the updater and recovery :/ this question has asked b4 in this thread but no ones ever answered it
[EVO 4G Android Development] morganlowe:
mmm cant hardly wait... I'm just waiting for release... this community has rocked since i joined to hack my axim... Lets not argue, give it a few and Myn will release.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan330:
Yes, with RA.. but

it is an older version.. back in December 2010.

I have not updated it.. have not looked into it... is has been working perfect for all the flashing I have been doing. and I do a lot.

do I need to update.. to partition it???

if so.. what is the best procedure / instruction to update it?

soo... it has been 1 hr..

the dots still are being added and moving across the screen.

are we all in agreement it is in some .. endless loop / lock?

is it battery pull time?????????
[EVO 4G Android Development] busventinc:
Try this when that happened to me i cleared the data from warm updater in the applications section of the phone the set up the download directory and then make sure you set up the update server and add-ons server then you should be good to go if not the n it is on the server side that is the problem I just downloaded the vanilla lock screen and it worked so don't think it is the server but give it a try hope that helps

the endless dots were a know issue on an older RA but cant recall witch version...
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
No, you don't NEED to update RA to partition. I used i.8 for a long time and only recently upgraded to version 2.3. I partitioned my card with no problems, and it definitely didn't take an hour to do. Something doesn't seem right with that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Hey lowetax, I did get rid of the wakelock issue. I simply left a few "suspect" items in place in the /system/app/ folder that I normally discard with other roms and all is well. Momentarily, I will make a nandroid backup of it. Anyway, just updating you, my friend...;)

[EVO 4G Android Development] efipaul:
This may have been covered somewhere, but I just wanted to throw out there that I noticed in the 6/6 nightly (first one I've tried), the phone freezes up while notifications come in.

I'm used to it slowing down substantially during app installs, but this is post-install, when it says "XXX has been successfully installed." Nothing works until the words all disappear.

That small error, this is a fantastic rom. Very smooth and feature-rich. I think this nightly may be my daily driver for a little while.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
The endless dots were during nand backups, it was due to backing up cache I believe. Which isn't necessary, hence why it isn't checked by default anymore. With partitioning it shouldn't come into play, but who knows, clearly something did.

@Dan

Did you wipe before you started, or just let it do its thing? I would wipe your SDcard and reformat it before, then try it again. It has to wipe/reformat during the partitioning process anyway, but doesn't hurt to go in clean (good life lesson I think? :)). It may have had an issue wiping/formatting.
[EVO 4G Android Development] busventinc:
@dougjamal

I know you said you do nands of the data and the sd-ext was that before you flash or after you flash to do the restore and do you let the rom fully boot up and go through the google stuff like setting up email and location finder etc and would the method be for cross roms or with the same rom as far as installing nightlies appreciate the info
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan330:
I did wipe all... did not reformat.

after a battery pull...

I just restarted the partition process...

funny thing..

the first time.. the letters and dots where green.

this time ... they are white!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

hhhmmm.... fingers crossed. :confused:
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
Update your recovery to RA V2.3. I am assuming you've already copied the contents of your card to your computer. Anyway, after you've update your recovery, for into it and select "partition SD card" and partition it in this manner: zero for the swap size, 1024 or 2048 for the ext-2 partition and the rest for the FAT. Afterwards, RA partitions your card, select "upgrade ext2 to ext3". After it is finished, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it except the SD CARD. When you're done, copy over the Synergy rom from your PC by selecting the MS-USB option. After that, flash the rom.

Anyone install the Synergy beta yet?
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
It's been over an hour? Something is wrong and in my "opinion", it's battery pull time, but that is YOUR device and YOUR decision to make. If you decide to pull the battery, click on amon_RA in my signature and download its PC36IMG.zip file and place it on the root of your card. Boot into the bootloader. After a pause, a few lines of text will flash across the screen and then the bootloader will autodetect the file and prompt you to install. Follow the prompts to install. Installation takes about 10 seconds. When finished, go into your new recovery and follow the instructions in my previous reply.

I look at it as he just started the beta program, allowing for feedback from us (through the official code page), so which nightly has what tag doesn't matter a whole lot.

Technically speaking tonight's (6/7 presumably) would be the first that's officially a beta. All the others would be pre-beta, but this is all semantics really. Especially for those of us that have been running them for a few nights now :p.

@dougjamal .'.... Why leave the swap at zero? Just asking cuz I don't know?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ep3n3wp:
Quick question....

Did the beta go on a diet compared to the past nightlys?

I remember myn saying something that the rom would be smaller in beta or final release

Sent from my PC36100
[EVO 4G Android Development] cowfodder:
Loving 06/06 nightly. Extremely stable, and since I formatted my SD for ext3 things seem much better. HTC hub is fully functional for me. No idea on 4G since its not available in my area. Can't wait for a beta version that's fully optimized for the Evo.

Re: linux distros,

I'm running a dual-boot hackintosh with a core i5-2500k oc'd to 4100 with 4 gigs of ddr3 and a MSI R5770 hawk with snow leopard and linux mint 11. Mint is a very windows like distro, and I would recommend it to anyone curious about switching.

From my EVO to your eyeballs!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jbermi:
I think the beta will differ from the nightlys in that it will be more focused for each device, the early nightlys were more to established the base of synergy and the betas will move into making the ROM more for each individual device. there will be more tweaks and optimaztions in the ROM that are EVO specific...

thats what I have gathered...and there will be a seperate warm twopointthree ROM, too, based off synergy but with myn's lovin goodness baked in.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
That would be my guess as well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] dougjamal:
It is not needed. I have my 16 gig card partitioned that way and there is no ill-effects or degradation in performance or stability.

Why not just delete the rom after you flash it? Then you'll have room all set for the next nightly! They will add up quick if you don't delete them.
[EVO 4G Android Development] CrippleB:
I have been seeing your posts, and it does seem very strange. I have a pny 16gb class 10 that I accidentally erased. So today I deleted partition(Swiss knife free 4 Windows) then used amon to repart. Amon took about five minutes from partitioning and upgrade ext2 to ext 3. Your times seem extremely long. I suggest try Swiss knife format card so partition is gone and then use amon to repart. I use what ever version Rom manager flashes when you select alternative recovery.

I used vr superwipe 3 time. Wipe all option on ra_ recovery 3 times too except sdcard. No luck.

Even i do backup all sdcard to my pc, re partitioning, wipe again, flash, still no luck..

[EVO 4G Android Development] Dan330:
well.... 37 mins and counting...

using new RA 2.3

something is odd...

maybe a bad sd card that will not allow it to confirm it is finished?

when I put the new RA zip file on the sd card to upgrade it. I put the sdcard into a reader.. on my laptop.

and it showed that the 15GB card was only 13.5GB because I put the rest into the ext2. and I was able to copy the file and run the zip on my phone to upgrade it.

maybe it is done.. just cant confirm it.

i dont know how much longer my battery can take this...and the LCD screen has been on this whole time.... Guess..i will let it go till battery dies..

which one? and was that after resetting it once after boot?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
I think its safe to assume an experienced user such as yourself wiped properly, so we can rule that out :p.

So, I'm gonna guess either a bad download, a radio issue, what are you on? Or some issue with your ext being recognized? Shots in the dark really...I only saw one or two others that got stuck, but I can't recall if they resolved their issues.

Also, I've gotten stuck at splash before (not on Synergy) and just pulled battery, wiped cache and dalvik and it booted fine...
[EVO 4G Android Development] mintilmidnight:
yea happened to me and after reinstalling the rom it went away but never really figured out what i did wrong since i used the same download as the first time

[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
The only thing that has happened, is Myn started the beta program including opening up the google code page for us to post issues and formally test. The nightlies will continue just as they did over the weekend. It isn't just one build that is the beta rom...

Auto-build process will still happen at 1 AM EST every night/morning...6/7 is up now :p (Don't think there were many major changes though).

[EVO 4G Android Development] Dreddge:
No, but I finally got it to work after about 3 hours of screwing with it. I formatted the card 3 different times.

Finally formatted....put only Ti Backup folder, ROM, Radio/wimax/pri and flashed them. It worked. Then I booted up, restored Ti, rebooted, stuck again at splash screen.

Reformatted the card, repeated the above steps (again), now its worked ever since.

I have seen at least 2 other people with the same problem though.

I had no problem whatsoever on my phone.

changelog in the zip file

don't think you'll see much
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greenfieldan:
Hm...Hopefully Myn does something about that. I think one of the big draws for his first ROM was how damn easy it was to install. It didn't originally need custom kernels, specials partitions, etc. I love Myn, but for this ROM to get the same following twopointwo did I think it might need to be simplified some :( (Of course, I'll still enjoy it nonetheless...It's just hard recommending a ROM to rookie flashers that has a decent chance of something going wrong if they miss something, you know?)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
It doesn't *require* any of what you mentioned though. A lot of people have an a2sd parition already, might as well use it if it can give them more space. They have it to a point where it is completely usable without it though. Custom kernels are always just optional (they don't exist for Sense GB yet anyway).

I just fail to see the logic here, Synergy is more straightforward than RLS5, which had radio/kernel compatibility requirements (HTC not Myn's fault really). Catering to beginners that can't be bothered to do some simple reading and help themselves is a hindrance to development. If they can't figure out Synergy, stay unrooted...it really is about as simple as it gets and no different than any OTA based rom out there.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
tell them

"hi noob. yer going to love this rom. they took a rom that wasn't meant to run on your evo,

made some changes and now you can! don't worry."

the vast majority of us that do full wipes have not had issues installing.

plus it's still in the 4 platform stage in some respects.

warm 2.3 should not be an issue installing, i would think.

and think back. do you remember the hoopla and panic when RLS 5 was released.

with the radio/kernel issue, etc. and the thread 'rls 5 bricked my phone' .

alphas are alphas, even more so when a port. now beta testing.

give the noob RLS 1 when it's released and see what happens.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Dreddge:
If I was a betting man I would say it has something to do with the EXT partitioning. Because the only thing i have found in common among the problem phones is the fact that they were not partitioned before flashing. Mine was partitioned from back when I had it with CM on my ADP1.

I honestly can't tell you if im partitioned ext2 or ext3, but either way, Im not doing anything to my SD card, because so far, I have had 0 problems with this ROM, but I am having serious reservations about upgrading my wife's phone nightly.

When I was stuck, I couldnt even flash twopointtwo back on her phone without it hanging at the splash screen.
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
and since i've mastered synergy and mikg

i'm flashing in virus kingdom port 1.3

just to see how much fun that yields !

had nothing else to do at 3:30 am :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
That is probably due to the radio/kernel incompatibility. The 3.70 based roms with HTC#15 were picky about what radio you used...Probably unrelated to your Synergy issues.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Greenfieldan:
I do remember those! haha. Some poor newbie almost got run out of town with flames and pitchforks for saying Myn bricked his device and should be banned. He offered a FULL retreat within 3-4 minutes, and the thread was deleted within 10 (probably the fastes mod action I've ever seen).
