Did you enable Perflock disabler? If you're using an HTC kernel, you have to do that. In SetCPU, hit Menu, then Perflock Disabler. Hit "Attempt to Disable Perflock". After it does it successfully once, you can hit "Set on Boot" so it does it automatically when you turn on your phone. Still though, 1 hour? That's really bad. Did you recalibrate your battery when it was really low?

Charge your battery till the LED is green. After that, use the phone till the battery goes down to like 95%, then plug it in again and keep an eye on it. Right when it turns green, go into recovery and wipe battery stats.

Ok, this is kind of off topic/kind of not. I was messing around last night and wanted to change my splash screen. I tried but found out I had the wrong HBOOT version (so fastboot wouldn't work). I searched and found the correct HBOOT version here on XDA.

I put the PC36IMG on my sd and booted to boot loader. "Pushed" the new splash screen and was pretty excited.........then I can't get past bootloader.

Whenever I boot up, it goes directly to bootloader and won't do anything else.

I have downloaded another PC36IMG that is supposed to fix the issue, but how can I get it onto my sd card? I don't have a card reader for the mini sd card.

I have used RA recovery and could access the sd card from there. However, I was using CWM at the time this happened. Does CWM have the functionality that RA does to access the sd card?

My wife has an evo also, so if I have to I can put my card in her phone and put it on there from that. But that would mean I would be without a phone all day until i get home from work.

Thanks for the input in advance.

Love this ROM and this forum.

Edit: Nevermind, I figured out how to mount the sd card to computer through CWM. I just had to look around a little bit. Hopefully this new PC36IMG works!! <crosses fingers>
[EVO 4G Android Development] Product F(RED):
Yeah, CWM can mount too. I don't remember what it's under. "Mount" or something?
[EVO 4G Android Development] marriedman624:
Mount sd Card w/ Clockwork

Thanks, I found it.

It was under "Partitions Menu" then "Mount USB Memory"

Also, here is the link to a PC36IMG with HBOOT 0.76.2000 (with Fastboot commands)

I am not sure if you are still having this problem, but I had the same issue with my Hero when I first got and after my wife took it. I tried several different ROM's all with the same results.

What was causing mine was a file on my sdcard that was causing 100% awake time. I took out my card and replaced it with one I had sitting around that was blank. Once I did that everything was good. I copied over my old card to my PC, reformatted it and put it back in blank.

I am not sure if this will help you or anyone else getting 100% awake time but I figured I would share my solution. Hope it helps :D

Get gasssss.....always makes the dentist more pleasant...

So, did you all miss me last night?

For the very FIRST TIME since getting my EVO, something went terribly awry last night while using MS v4. I'm not surprised to hear he pulled it.

I had 2 1/2 hours of continuous BOOT LOOPS after using MS V4 for the day. And no matter what I tried I couldn't stop it. Even my volume down/power button recovery jump wasn't working!!

Finally, after 2 hours and about 50 bootloops, I got it into recovery, wiped everything thrice and reflashed MS/SBC 131. Another 20 minutes of loops. Got back to recovery, wiped 3 times again and flashed HTC 17. Another 20 minutes of loops.

At 2 hrs 45 minutes I finally got back into Recovery, wiped everything 3 times, wiped Data, flashed Ztest 12/17 (the last tested, stable kernel I'd used), and rebooted.

(And, yes, that's right, I didn't reflash the ROM...I didn't want to have to re-edit my lockbar and framework and figured I could always go back and do that if need be.)

Finally at the 3 hour mark, it booted very nicely and quickly into the ROM, I went into recovery and Nand Restored my data, and got my phone back.

WHEW....

I'm going to go post on the SBC thread to see if anyone else had an issue with v4, but I'm sensing after reading a few things here that he pulled it for a reason. Wish I'd known in advance, but I guess we're all on the cutting edge and like it that way. I know I do...

But after almost 6 very easy, successful months since getting, then rooting, my EVO, and literally having almost zero issues, yesterday was a tense day...:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
Been there. Done that. Sucks. But it was a good learning experience. First time similar thing happendd to me I panicked. Kind folks in this thread helped me out. Next time it happened, I didn't panic but it still sucked. I learned a great deal every time something like this has happened. Luckily it's only happened a few times. ALL user error or some funky kernel bootloop thing.

Any updates from Myn?

[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
You are corerct. Myn didn't post the htc17 zip until ... something about it being the "actual" kernel as opposed to a hijacked kernel lol. I don't know it was something like that.

When in doubt use the one linked to by Myn.
[EVO 4G Android Development] slugbug2010:
He only got back from vacation yesterday. With his previous releases, he's had beta testing done before the official release and I've not seen a beta for rls5. He may not do that this time, but a LOT came out while he was gone so it may take longer. Patience :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
i guess i should prepare myself, because i'm saying it ...

even with trying several unknown kernels, mods, add-ons, tweaks, etc.,

i've never had my phone randomly reboot, and the only boot loops were definitely user error.

it would seem to me that after you first noticed something not right,

that reboot to recovery and nan restore to a previous backup would work.

that didn't work, eh ? did you pull the battery and try to boot to recovery ?

as for HTC #17, well, you knew that wouldn't work with the updated radios you flashed upon us :)

glad yer back up and running. a day without an evo, well, shudder shudder

that i think would warrant a 911 call !
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Fortunately, after a few months on Myn's ROM and participating in this thread, and reading all the spectacular information here, I didn't panic. The phone was getting as far as the Warm2.2 boot screen every time so at least I knew it wasn't bricked, and I'd eventually get it back up.

I was also confident (cocky?) that after running perfectly for 4 days with Ztest 12/17 (and fortunately having a saved Nand with it) and not flashing anything other than the SBC/MS kernels, it wasn't user error. My phone really has been a dream, and I have it configured exactly the way I want (and as much as I LOVE flashing hadn't done anything stupid).

My tension actually came from just not having my phone available. It's a super busy time for me now and everyone uses my cell number, so I was freaking about missing stuff.

I'd say lesson learned but I'd be lying. I'm sure I'll be flashing something else soon that's new and cutting edge.

At least now my EVO-crash-and-burn cherry has been popped... :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Unfortunately, I never got even the slightest inkling anything was wrong. I was on my way out, my battery was running a tad low after a long day, and I was just rebooting to swap to a fully wall-charged battery.

And of course, with all the knowledge I've acquired here, I pulled the battery, plugged it in, unplugged it, fondled it, kissed it, yelled at it, praised it, petted it, put it in a bag and swung it around my head while chanting Rune blessings, even tried blowing pot-smoke in it's face...you get the idea. I DID EVERYTHING and it just kept taking me back to the Myn opening screen and BOOM, reboot.

I couldn't even get it to boot into recovery. After almost 2 hours I actually pulled the battery, left the phone in pieces, and had a tequila shot and a beer. 15 minutes later I was finally able to reassemble and get into recovery.

Oh well, just another day in tech-junkie paradise...:p
[EVO 4G Android Development] marriedman624:
I feel the same way, when my error occured this morning (got stuck at bootloader) I said to myself, "There is a way to get this back, don't worry about it." Sure enough, I (along with some help from others) was able to get my phone back. Only bad thing is, my nand backups won't restore, so I get to start over from square one. At least RLS5 is on the horizon, right?

I fell that as long as you are rooted and nand unlocked, you can recover your phone from pretty much anything.

Just my $0.02.

[EVO 4G Android Development] lowetax:
just curious, i thought TB backs up everything ?

with the new radios flashed, you could wipe everything (16 times),

flash RLS 4, and before rebooting flash a custom kernel,

and then when up and running, restore your data and settings from TB ?

wouldn't that get you back to where you were?

maybe not kernel wise, but everything else?

i'm asking because i've never used TB.

with testing and trying everything in sight,

i never have time to build up any data and settings ! :)

Finally flashed an older PC36IMG.zip file and went back to 2.1. NOTHING worked on the device before this. What a complete nightmare. Once I actually got the device to boot, it meant I could flash another ROM, but yes, if it powers on, there is a way.

My power button on my 002 went out, so I brought it to Sprint rooted to see if it was fixable. The tech opened it up and said it couldn't be fixed because it was permanently depressed even though the button part was working properly. He tod me if I got it to stock he would get me a replacement. I ran an RUU and the phone remained S-off, but they still took it back. Rooted the new one (003) and got my angry birds games restored on it. :D

Please don't take this the wrong way and in no way am I trying to be disrespectful, however, Myn has just returned from a well-deserved vacation and he was kind enough to drop a few lines on this forum while on vacation. He's fully aware that people would like to have RLS5 available for Christmas, however, it is unfair to trouble or pressure him, intentionally or unintentionally, to sacrifice his holiday time with his family & loved ones just so we have can have RLS5 for Christmas. That's not right, people. It's Christmas.

Titanium Pro IS a good program, and a real must-have for safety, (and for the reasons DougJamal states above), but after restoring from it, you do need to re-tweak everything.

Whereas, doing a data restore from ClockworkMod Recovery using Advanced Nandroid Restore seems to just put everything back including settings.

Again, I know I'm in the minority, but I absolutely love Clockwork and have never had so much as one issue caused by it. Plus, I don't believe (after going over it with a lot of AR folks about halfway back this thread) Amon Ra has the Advanced Restore Data Only feature, which has saved my ass more than once.

I just got a new evo and will be rooting it soon through ubuntu. I don't know much about linux, but I'm hoping the rooting process will be straightfoward with unrevoked.

[EVO 4G Android Development] Persnlmgr:
Okay, well here's a little tip about the Dalvik wipe in Clockwork:

If you use Amon Ra, you'll notice when you wipe Dalvik you get a pretty long series of little dots as it loads, then wipes, the cache.

In Clockwork, there IS a long, black-screen pause (sometimes even a minute or more) then the confirm comes up, and you can wipe it.

This pause in Clockwork is the equivalent of the dots in Amon Ra. I've spoken to 2 serious Google developers about this and they've concurred.

And you can confirm it in both by doing a second Dalvik wipe.

After the first successful wipe, in Amon Ra the dot-string will be way shorter, and in Clockwork there will be virtually NO black-screen time before it goes to the confirm screen. The cache has been cleared so there's NO load time.

So when people say Clockwork is a lesser Recovery and doesn't wipe Dalvik properly, I say bullpuckey!!

:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] PhantomHacker:
Alright flashing back to clockwork to try it.
[EVO 4G Android Development] cirehawk:
Good info. I may give Clockwork a shot, especially since you can switch between the 2 easily with Rom manager.
[EVO 4G Android Development] sensate:
Thanks for the quick responses :)

Another thing - Since this phone is straight out of the delivery room, should I expect any hiccups in myn's or in the rooting process?
[EVO 4G Android Development] ageesm:
Well that isn't entirely true. setCPU does not offer as many features with the htc kernel (no OC, less profiles for undervolting) It can disable perflock on the kernel for you from setCPU. I use it to set it at 245 with screen off, helps save battery life. I hardly use any battery when the screens off.

I rooted my 2.02 back in November. You no longer have to downgrade, but I did mine all manually through adb stuff. There were issues with people losing WiMax partition if I am not mistaken (somehow I lucked out), but I believe it has been updated since then and may include a one-click method (don't quote me on that). Plus the manual method allowed me to use adb and learn more about android.

If you're on a HW version 0003 or below, and a 1.** or 0.** Hboot, UnrEVOked will rock your world. It takes, literally, minutes and works flawlessly. You'll be so amazed you'll check everything (like S-Off) 3 times because you won't believe it worked that well, that fast!!

And as far as The Great and Powerful Myn's ROM, Warm and Fuzzy 2.2 R4, you'll have to work extremely hard to **** it up. Seriously. It's more stable than Jack Nicholson in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" AFTER the electric shock treatment!!!!

Just follow the steps of doing a Nandroid in between flashing new stuff and you should be good to go.
