Ok, totally new to Android... Trying to Root my EVO Following the links on the OP and following these directions... I get to the bolded part and I get a Red Error Triangle on my EVO's screen and it just sits there... What am I doing wrong?  ◄●If you have used Unrevoked forever, start here●► Not for me... ◄●If you have NEVER used Unrevoked forever, start here●► 8. Power off the phone and reboot into the recovery by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. Then select RECOVERY. 9. Connect via USB. There is an option for this in both Amon RA and Clockwork. 10. Transfer the PC36IMG.zip to the root of your sdcard. 11. EJECT THE PHONE FROM THE COMPUTER and then turn off USB in Recovery 12. Power off the phone and reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + POWER until it boots to the white screen. 13. It should check the PC36IMG.zip and then ask you YES/NO to apply the update. Press VOL UP for YES 14. Once complete, Press VOL UP to reboot. 15. You are now unrooted!

EVO here...Was running Fresh 3.5 and flashed to 4.1.1.0 and in the 30 minutes I've been using it I've come to two gripes Lost Toggle Widgets from notifications pulldown Lost LED Blink on Handcent notifications I also flashed a new radio which they said you should only do if you were on 4+. Now my question is can I flash back to 3.5 and be OK?

EVO running Fresh 4.2 - I've had this EVO since October. I feel like an idiot looking back at this. One of those, just should have left well enough alone. I was on a road trip and went to use Wifi tether and it didn't work. So I googled and read that people were having problems with tether on 4.2, so... I did what could have been the first mistake in a list of mistakes. I flashed down to 4.1 to try that. Nope... still no Wifi Tether... so again, possible mistake, I flashed to the last time I KNEW wifi tether worked Fresh 3.3.0.1. Wifi tether then worked, but now, Gmail is all sorts of messed up and will not sync or even email. If it does sync it just syncs back to June 19th which is odd because that was way before I even started flashing around. I did get it to sync once, and I saw current email, but when I went back to the inbox it went back to June 19th again and everything was gone. On the computer side, Gmail works fine and I see everything as usual. Where do I go from here? No, in my haste I didn't backup RECENTLY...been since I rooted in Oct. (stupid). If I go through nandroid and wipe all user data will I have to go through the whole rooting process again? Krime fucked around with this message at 21:54 on Jul 24, 2011 |

Ok, seemed to have fixed most of my problems. email now syncs properly. Now the only gripe I have is that I can't properly update my contact card with my current facebook picture, nor my lady. It is using the info from my October backup.

Ok... so what happens when I wipe the following... and what is best process when going from ROM to ROM? data dalvik cache Wiping all 3 is considered a "full wipe" right? Does this pretty much put me back to a brand new stock phone that is rooted still? Does anything hang around like apps that I have downloaded or do I have to re download them? What about backups from Titanium? Sort of half confused I guess.

Ulysses S. Grant posted:Yep, that's what is considered a full wipe. What it does is it just sends you back to a state like when you first loaded that ROM - initial setup with Wifi, your Google account, etc. Nothing hangs around except what is normally present on the system, and your Titanium Backups are always on the sd card so they don't get deleted. Thanks for the clarification.

I've never wiped any data on my phone. I rooted and then Flashed the following never wiping Fresh 3.1 3.5 4.1 4.2 I got my phone setup good to go and did a Nandroid backup. Now, if I ever do want to try a new ROM, I should probably do a complete wipe, right? CyanogenMod7, MIUI, and Synergy all look appealing for at least a try. In clockwork I'm guessing I would go... wipe data/factory reset, then flash the new ROM. To me this sounds like a stupid question, but if I do that... does my Nandroid backup go away too? So, for arguments sake, lets say I flash CM7 and hate it and want to go back to Fresh 4.2. Do I just go back into recovery and do another wipe and then go to Nandroid and recover my backup and have things just like they were?

Sir Unimaginative posted:Note that, depending on kernels and bootloaders, you may get Weird poo poo™ if you try to restore a nandroid of one ROM over a different ROM. CyanogenMod 7 and MIUI (for versions based on CyanogenMod 7 kernels) are probably compatible (and worst happens you restore the nandroid of the previous environment that I'm sure you made), but I wouldn't restore either over a CM6 or mfr/carrier-based ROM, and vice versa. Yeah, I learned my lesson from last time and have been taking the appropriate steps from here on out. Looking at it... I don't really need to mess with my phone much. I'm happy and comfortable with Fresh. I think I'm just going to leave it be and only update Fresh along the way.

Does anyone know how to take a screenshot on EVO running Fresh? I somehow managed to take one as I tried turning off an errant weekend alarm, but have no clue what I hit to make it happen and can't recreate it.

I'm on an EVO, running Fresh 4.3.3 and for some reason my wifi tethering will not work properly. It will connect to a computer, but then the computer says there is no internet access. Anyone else have similar problems or a fix?

What steps should I follow going from Fresh 4.3.3 to the CM 7.2 build on my EVO? Any advice? I've never switched from Fresh, but I want to try out CM. I'm nervous about switching ROMs

Anybody with the EVO LTE running the newest FRESH ROM? Does the Fresh Rom do anything to alleviate the Sense problems everyone was howling about after its release? Memory problems and dumping programs not in use, etc.
