[Q] Rooted EVO needs help after new kernel flashed.

I rooted my HTC EVO, then wanted a new kernel for better battery, wanted the new gingerbread ROM too but after I rooted, I deleted a few unwanted, stock apps. After I did this, I started to get a lot of force close messages. Certain apps won't even open. So I tried to unzip a new kernel and I wiped all my data from the hboot. Now it starts up, will go to locked home screen. I try to unlock it, it's the white htc screen then loads into the set up (i.e. keyboard usage, etc) and in the last step a force close message pops up then goes through the whole scenario again. Now I want to just put a whole new system on so I can have my evo back. HELP?

Download the rom, kernel, and Gapps (http://www.goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/) on your computer. Boot into recovery. I don't use Clockwork, and I'm assuming you rooted with Unrevoked, so that's probably the recovery you have, but try to find the option to mount your SD card via USB, and move the files to your SD card. Do not unzip them. They must be .zip files. Unmount your SD card, wipe your data, wipe your cache, wipe your Dalvik cache, repeat all the wipes at least one more time, then flash the .zips in this order: 1. ROM 2. Gapps 3. kernel. Then reboot, and you should have a working system.

If you use ROM Manager and created a backup then you could flash (install) the OTA ROM Sprint sent out a few months back. This OTA ROM will be for the Rooted evo, so you won't lose root. Go to youtube.com and search this, "How to install new Sprint Htc Evo OTA 3.29.651.5 and keep root." In his comments he'll provide the link to that zip file and you can flash it from the recovery mode. Make sure you wipe the dalvik/cache and then flash zip file from sd card. It will appear to look like your initial problem but it will get passed the white htc screen. You could turn it off and turn it on again if HTC screen stays longer than 10 min. Once the ROM kicks in, you'll notice its stripped of all your cusomizations. If you used rom manager to back up your ROM then redownload ROM manager from market and the superuser app that came with the OTA zip file will allow ROM manager to run. At that point select manager and restore backups from ROM manager and select your backup and it should put you back to where you were prior to the problem.
Sorry so long, but I'm very detailed and don't want to assume you know what I'm talking about.
P.S. similar situation happened to me yesterday I fixed my issue like described above.
Another Thing haha, don't delete your stock apps just freeze them using Titanium backup. Freezing does the same thing for battery life. You wont see them in app drawer and they wont run in background.

How to prevent ROM from AUTOMATICALLY wiping data

Have you ever installed a ROM that AUTOMATICALLY wiped your data when you installed it? Some ROM's have commands in their updater scripts that will AUTOMATICALLY wipe your data during the ROMs install process regardless if you chose not to wipe data before the install. This was frustrating to me because I did not want to have to go through the process of resetting up my device when I was only updating to the current version of the ROM I already had on my device.
It is always better to wipe completely before installing a new ROM, however there may be instances when you do not want to do that (i.e. upgrading from ROM version 1.1 to version 1.2, etc.). I recommend doing a full wipe when installing a new ROM however, I like to have the option to not do a full wipe and preserve my data and my system setup and not have the ROM automatically wipe my data.
If my ROM runs fine without wiping data then I like the convenience of not having to re-install all of my apps and system settings. If I find that the ROM is not behaving correctly after updating then I will go back and do a fresh install with a full wipe.
So if you have a ROM that AUTOMATICALLY wipes your data then this is how to modify the ROM so that it will not automatically wipe your data upon installing. It is very easy to do. Follow these instructions:
Navigate to the directory where your ROM is saved on your computer.
Open the ROM zip file with a zip application of your choice.
Navigate to the "META-INF>com>google>android" folder.
Extract the "updater-script" file.
Open this file with the Notepad application in Windows.
Locate this line in the text *format("ext3", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p26");*. It is usually somewhat near the beginning of all of the text in file.
Delete that line (note: the line will not have the * symbols before and after so just delete the line in between *'s)
Save the file but do not choose "Save as". Make note of the directory where the file was saved.
If your zip application does not ask to save the edited file automatically into the ROM zip file then re-add that file back into the ROM zip file in the original directory/folder where the file existed in the ROM zip file.
Copy the ROM zip file to your phone SD card.
Boot into recovery and install the ROM zip without manually wiping data.
Do not remove any other text lines or text characters from this file other than what is in between the *'s from the above instructions. There are no spaces in between any of the commands in the updater-script so keep the same character formatting in the file. Also, use Notepad in Windows (or a text editor in Mac; I do not know what that application is called on a Mac) for editing this file and do not use a word processing application (such as Word). Word processing applications can sometimes add hidden formatting in the text that you do not want.
This is for use with custom ROM's for the Thunderbolt. I do not know if this will work for other devices. Always make a backup before using this mod/change.
This mod/change only prevents the ROM itself from AUTOMATICALLY formatting and wiping your data upon installing. It does nothing else other than that. If the ROM itself does not AUTOMATICALLY wipe data during the install process then there is no need to use this. I have tested this successfully multiple times without issue.
The usual disclaimer applies to making this or any other modification to your device. I am not responsible for any damage this may cause to your device. Use at your own risk. However, if you made a backup then you should be fine.
I have searched the internet and the forums and did not find any instructions on how to do this so I made this post. If something like this has been posted before I apologize for cluttering the forum. Also, if I posted in the wrong forum I also apologize.
Hope this helps anyone who has this issue.

Very nice. Although I've had bad luck not wiping.

Have had random issues not wiping I always do now even if rom says it will do it...

If wiping is to much of a hassle for you then you shouldn't be flashing roms. The only time not flashing work is an update to a Rom. If its to much of a hassle to set things up then its going to be a bigger hassle when you run into problems and have to re-flash you Rom and wipe data, or just restore Nandroid because your to lazy (sometime you just don't have the time, I've been in this situation. What you do is just wait until you do, problem solved)

Sometimes I have had the pleasure of screwing something up while toying with settings, where a quick install of the same rom over the current install is an easy fix. This makes that possible on roms that auto wipe... its a GOOD thing.

I see your point, and I have flashed an untouched Rom over one that I themed and something got screwy, many times. I guess I haven't stuck with any Rom that had auto wipe for more than a day before I'm back to a better Rom.

Awesome and thanks... definitely use for me.

Chingy provides similar instructions for his ROMs on his site. It's useful if you, say tweak a kernel setting or fat finger something and the ROM goes unstable and all you really want to do is reflash the kernel, but the kernel, like Ziggy's, is only available in the ROM itself. Flashing one ROM over the exact same ROM shouldn't cause problems and this does have practical use in fixing problems. I'm gonna also the thanks button for it on behalf of someone that didn't know this, used it, and didn't thank back.

If your running the same EXACT version, not even a minor update, then its fine to flash without a wipe, but that's the only time you can do so.

Only the 26.

[Q] Ringtones gone....

First post... let me itroduce myself first.
I'm Stu....I've been lurking here for years and finally unlocked my first phone!
I'm currently using the SideKick4g, and this foru was a HUGE help in the unlocking process. Thanks!!!
I think I may have gotten a little crazy with the deleting, however. Everything is running fine at this point other than when I try to change ring/notification settings. Trying to access things gives me a force close every time.
I'm guessing I deleted something crucial. Anybody know what it may have been and how I can go about fixing this and/or getting around the situation? Will a simple program such as ringdroid replace whatever I got rid of? Shold I just flash a custom ROM?
Thanks in advance guys!
Stu

Let me add that I rooted with SuperOneClick, and used RootExplorer for ditching my bloatware. Hope that helps a little!
Stu

What did you remove? Ringtones are stored in /system/media/, do they just not show up when trying to set it, or does something else happens? Are you missing your stock ringtones, or just your custom ones?

When I go to settings>sound...selecting eithr phone ringtone or notification ringtone causes my force close.
I think maybe I deleted my system/media thinking it was the stock media player
Not that I'm too bummed about it. The stock rings are all just crappy versions of the "T-jingle".
I'd just like to be able to change stuff up

Well, looks like you took a risk and it came back to bite you. Reflash your ROM and try again.

Well...there's where the problem lies. I've never flashed a ROM. I'm sure I can handle it....just never done it.
And if I do need to flash a new ROM anyways, I feel like I should just flash a custom ROM. The gingerclone looks pretty nice. Does this delete my original ROM all together in the process? Are custom ROMs free of bloat?

That will wipe everything, so you should make a backup beforehand. yes, custom roms are almost always free of bloat, GingerClonev2 is only 124MB, where the stock rom is over 200MB. There are a few issues we're still working out, but it's pretty steady. otherwise, Teddy is releasing an update to an older ROM sometime soon as well, so I'd be on the lookout for that.

Okay cool. I'm gonna do some quick research and figure out how to do this.
What's the best way to save my original ROM to my desktop on my computer?
I'm just worried about killing my phone completely at this point.....

If you have CWM, use the backup menu, which uses Nandroid to backup everything by dumping everything on your phone into images. This all dumps onto your SDcard in the clockworkmod folder.
You can't brick your phone using CWM, you can only do that using ODIN, and only if you're not following directions/being intentionally stupid

Okay cool....downloading ROM Manager right now. I'm sure I'll post back with a few questions shortly!
Once the CWM/ROM manager has backed everything up....i should be able to copy the backup to my desktop? same thing with installing a new ROM
? Desktop to SD card?

BAhhhhhh.
I clicked on backup current rom and sent it into recovery mode.
Sorry about my lack of knowhow. Hopefully this all helps some others as well.....
I guess my biggest questions right now.... how do I get my original rom to a folder on my desktop, and once I download gingerclone, how do i move that from my desktop to sd to running it?

Yeah, copy the clockworkmod folder from your sdcard to your desktop, that'll copy everything off. I wouldn't suggest Rom Manager, many people have problems with that CWM. Look in the Dev forum for the CWM thread, and use that one.

In recovery mode, there should be a backup and restore menu. use the backup option, and then copy the clockworkmod folder from your sdcard to your desktop. that's your backup.

Okay. I plugged in my phone to the computer, and dragged a copy of the entire clockworkmod folder to my desktop.
Gingerclone is downloaded. Drag it to my SD? anywhere specific? or just on it?
On my desktop now is: folder/download, .recoverychecpoint(1KB), .salted_hash(1KB), .settings(1KB), and .settings2(1KB)
This is my backup correct?

I lost rom manager/root explorer.
After clearing stuff out and rebooting...it rebooted to the original rom with none of my added apps.
Can't download anything either at this point.
HELP!
Download manager keeps stopping and forces closed.
I reboot into recovery...and my options are:
reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
If I try to reinstall packages, I get" E: failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip(no such file or directory)
E: signature verification failed.
I'm in over my head now. Anyone out there maybe wanna help walk me thorough this on AIM or google chat or anything?

Which rom did you flash?

I tried flashing yours....but nothing. It's on my SD card right now
It just boots up to the original sidekick home/os.

You probably need to reroot or another update. Zip
Edit: actually what it sounds like you did was something similiar to what i did with a samsung galaxy s i deleted a bunch of apps and the i did a data wipe and factory restore without flashing my custom firmware through cwm and when it factory resetted it was real buggy from all the missing apps so u will have to odin

[REQUEST] Platypus Egg Kernel flashable

I posted this in the general section, but no one has answered it. Please release the platypus egg kernel as a .zip file or post a link to where I can download the kg2 odin file so that I can flash the bali port. I want voodoo and refuse to flash an entire rom just to get voodoo.

check the heimdall thread i have it posted there last 2 pages

heimdall isnt working on my computer unless you posted an odin file in that thread its not going to help me.

Unless you are in love with the Samsung launcher vs. GOv2's Launcher Pro (or my preferance: download ADW.Launcher), there is no reason not to upgrade to GOv2 and get all the other tweaks in addition to the Kernal.
I know you say you've had trouble in the past, but just try it like this:
1) Boot in to CWM with the GOv2 zip on the sdcard.
2) Check your mounts
3) Run a backup
4) Check your mounts
5) Wipe data, wipe cash, wipe dalvik-cache
6) Check your mounts
7) Flash GOv2
8) Check your mounts
9) Advanced-Restore data partition only
10) Check your mounts
11) Reboot
Best case, everything works great and you just upgraded the Kernal as well as many other good things / tweaks, while still keeping all your apps and all your config.
Worst case, just boot in to CWM and restore what you currently have. You only waste about 15min of your life in trying, and I don't see how GOv2 could have any drawbacks over stock+bali (other then the alternate Launcher and themed icons/widgets - I installed AWD, unthemed all my icons, and I love the transparent-black widgets).
You should NEVER need to Odin unless you can't get in to CWM (which should never happen).
NOTE: When I say check your mounts, each partition on that CWM page should read "unmount" (meaning they are currently mounted). Check your mounts before/after each step, including before the final reboot.

I know how to check mounts. I want to keep touchwiz because of the themes. I really like the stock themes, and none of the launchers from the market have the option to view the app drawer as a list. if they did, i would consider using one of them. the stock themes are not really what is important. viewing the app drawer as a list is. my process thus far has been as follows: odin to kd1, kies to kj2, root, backup, flash rom, then restore system only from the backup. it hasnt been stable enough so far, but right now i am considering trying it a little different. i am going to get back to stock kj2, then delete all bloatware and all google apps from the system, then backup, then flash, then restore system from the backup, then reinstall any apps i want from the market. I also have the .apk file for play store, so i am also going to delete market and market updater before backing up. then after restoring system, i am just going to install google play store from my sd card. if anyone has any thoughts, please respond soon. i already odined back to kd1, getting ready to do kies to kj2. that takes a few minutes as i have to unplug the phone from the pc and reinstall the drivers through kies.

But I would prefer to just flash the kernel. I dont see any reason why they wouldnt release it.

well, after a very lengthy and complicated process, i finally have the platypus kernel on kj2. here is what i did. i started kies mini but didnt plug my phone in yet. i just went to menu and install driver. then i odined. after reboot, unplug the phone, back to kies, install drivers again. plug phone in and update firmware through kies. after reboot, unplug and install driver again. turn on usb debugging and root through super one click. reboot. install drivers again. then go through the system and delete all google and tmobile apps. get cwm running and take a backup. connect mass storage and copy b2tb to sd card. flash according to instructions. reboot. let the phone sit while i walk my dog. come back, boot into recovery, select advanced restore, system only. fix permissions, wipe dalvik, reboot. reinstall desired apps through market website. that was all last night. today i supercharged. so far so good.

well, its been almost 24 hours since i finished everything up. stable so far. no random reboots, no force closes, no screen lag or freeze, no crashes. i kept my backup from before the flash, just in case. gonna give it another day or two to make sure everything really is stable, then take a backup of the current setup. once i do that, im leaving this phone the hell alone lol.

To clear the record, I never had trouble flashing roms except for once and it was because i flashed cwm through rom manager before i knew not to do that. my most recent trouble started when i attempted to move dalvik to my ext2 partition. something went wrong when i attempted to move dalvik, and it got deleted. i had a backup and tried to restore, but got an md5sum mismatch. i did a factory reset through voodoo and it screwed up my apn settings. i restored default settings, but it didnt work. so basically after much trial and error, i have a stable advice again.

I don't know anything about green CWM red is available on the link provided though if it becomes an issue. You'll need a CWM flashable ROM and it sounds like you want a cleaned up stock version, others seems to have themes and other options you may not want, I didn't, performance is fine but I really didn't want to change the look. In that case you'll want this one:

In CWM wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format system, format data, format cache, install zip from SD card select ROM and flash then install zip from SD card select kernel and flash then reboot you'll have to uninstall the ATT stuff yourself or not, be careful that you don't remove apps needed by the system to function or by other system apps, most of the stuff with ATT in the name is safe and you need to remove tethering manager to be able to ever tether. Titanium backup root (TB) can uninstall them, be sure to first backup your new stock ROM in CWM before you start making changes because if you rip out the wrong apps you'll need to restore to boot. Use TB to backup an app if your not sure so you might not have to do a full restore. Be patient during boots.
