I'm trying to update my rom on my EVO from 2.3.2 to this new rom but when i initiate the install it reboots then aborts. I'm using rom manager to install it. Also is there anyway to install this new rom without clearing all of my apps and contacts ect..?
Try installing it through CWM. I'd download it on a computer then put it on your SD. Sometimes the roms don't download correctly so you can just try dling it again as well.

I am running the FRG01B build that was manually updated and am rooted with rom manager. I want to install a new rom using rom manager so I can overclock my phone but really do not want to lose my data/apps or have to redownload the apps (I have 209 apps installed). I have MyBackUp Pro and tried to backup everything on the phone but after it has shown "backing up apps" and it is trying to upload my apps to the online servers I am always getting an error. Here is my question: If I don't wipe data when installing a new rom, will it work and if not what will happen? Basically what I want is to install a new rom and after everything installs, my phone is the exact same except the rom itself (app shortcuts are in the same place, ect. Is this possible? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

P.S... also....I heared about "gapps"...what is it and do I need it at all? When is the official 2.3.x (gingerbread) coming from Tmobile? I just want GB on my g2x
make sure u flashed clockwork recovery via NVflasher to TRULY gain a mod recovery. I always put the roms I wanna flash onto my phone's memory and NOT the microSD card. maybe that'll help.
Looks like a corrupt download. Delete the zip and try downloading again.

Thnx for the reply. I tought I heard to have the ROMS in external memory card. Cuz, for example that's where clockworkmod backs up your nandroid.
Where do you place the ROMS(most roms have like 3 files in a compressed zip format.......i.e example.....the eagleblood ROM name is EagleBlood1.04.zip when u download it....inside the zip, theres two folders.....META-INF and "system".....a file called "boot.img" and another one called "installbusybox"...so where in the internal phone memory do u put the whole zip folder......?
put the WHOLE rom.zip on your memory. don't unzip anything.
+1 on the post above. redownload the rom and try flashing again.
after you flash the rom, flash gapps (this is the installer that includes market, gmail, etc.) You need it in order to get access to the market
Your steps should be as follows
1. Wipe Data
2. Wipe Dalvik cache
3. Flash Rom
4. Flash gapps
5. fix permissions
6. reboot
EDIT: and don't unzip anything. Place the WHOLE eaglesblood.zip file on your SD Card

They all say the same....I got them from the cyanogenmod website......even Eagleblood1.04 from here.
funny thing i noticed tho, after I tried installing a rom, but of course it fails, I connect the phone to USB, go to external memory card, try to open the ROM zip file, it wont open....says "X:\EagleBlood1.04.zip The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"
Maybe it gets damaged or currupted during the time its trying to flash the files to the phone???

thanks....where do I get gapps and how do i go about installing it....I need to install it AFTER sucessfully flashing a rom, right?
Kinda new to the whole android thing, but not to modding devices...I started it when I got the $500+ moto RAZR when it came out, the psp, wii, ps3, itouch, etc. enuff about me....lets stay on topic
hehe me too, started with my verizon razr as well.
You can get gapps from here:

You install it AFTER successfully flashing a rom
and there is a thanks button
Hi guys,
I'm not able to install some AOSP apps in a stock HTC Sensation RUU. I've cooked it in a ROM, but beyond that, changed nothing; just so I could flash it via CWM and not loose CWM Recovery.
But the app doesn't install. I've tried everything:
Installing it normally - application not installed
Installing it via Root Explorer in /system/app - app does not install, even when I reboot. I have set the correct permissions
Flashing it together in the ROM, both in /data/app and /system/app - does not install.
The only thing I haven't tried is flashing it after flashing the stock ROM in CWM. I'm going to try that now.
So, people, any solutions? Installing the app works fine in Android Revolution HD, so it must be a file in that ROM that is affecting this. Installing other AOSP apps (such as Browser or Calculator) in the stock ROM works fine.
RUU info:
ROM name: 1.35.401.1
Android OS: 2.3.3
d/l link: here
The app in question is the contacts app.
Thanks,
redbullcat/Phil
Anyone...?
I need a reply on this, guys...
Hi!
Apologies in advance, I don't know much about the workings of android, I just follow guides!
I'm trying out my first custom rom, namely gingerclone, and am having trouble getting all my apps back up and running...
Before installing the rom, I backed up all my apps and settings with titanium backup, so I could restore them much easier after the rom change.
Although when I tried restoring them, I had lots of force closes with titanium backup itself, and about half of my apps would immediately FC on opening and didn't have icons. I then uninstalled the problem apps manually in settings>applications, and tried installing via the market. For some apps, it worked fine, but for others, whenever I try to install from the market, my phone reboots when the download is done and it tries installing. Sometimes it won't even download and just gives me errors, and for some they will install, but will not launch, just force close. I've tried cleaning the dalvik cache with titanium backup, and deleting settings files for the problem apps from my sd card, so that as far as I can see, there is no trace of them. But still, random reboots whenever I try installing, or unopenable if I manage to get them to install.
Any idea what could be going on? Plenty of other apps have installed and are working fine, so I'm stumped.
Had the same exact problem trying to install apps with titanium backup.
what i did was just slow down and install each app one by one and wait for each app to completely install before trying to install the next.
trying to download all of them all and once always made my phone reboot like it does to yours.
well hope this helps!
Wel I ended up uninstalling them all and trying to install again from the market, but I can't even get them to install individually now. It seems like trying to restore the backup has put some rogue files somewhere and is messing it up when I try to install the apps...
I have no idea why, but everything has started working again, so problem solved :/
I don't know. That never happened with me

I've been trying to get this phone going for hours and hour, and it's still junk. This is what my phone does...
1. phone was one miui version .07
2. tried installing extended settings but the versions didn't match.
3. extended settings worked but other apps would not open or work.
4. reflashed miui version .07 and phone seemed fine.
5. downloaded newest version of miui, but phone would not allow me to boot into recovery.
6. used odin back to stock and started from scratch
7. after using odin my phone is having issues downloading apps
8. root explorer won't allow me to overwrite recovery.
9. many reboots and factory resets/clearing data etc, phone was finally allowing me to overwrite recovery.
10. flashed cwm and installed infused v1.6.
11. phone is again not allowing me to install any apps or roms.
12. I again did an odin back to stock and also did a factory reset
13. next i installed root manager and rom manager once the phone rebooted from factory reset.
14. both apps worked fine, so i than downloaded modded recovery and installed it and flashed cwm.
15. next i went to find rom manager in my app drawer to download rom but it was not there, in fact non of my root apps were there. i looked in superuser app, i see root and rom managers, but apps are not shown on my phone.
16. i than went to the market and searched rom manager, I than selected to install it even tho i never uninstalled it. My phone would than download app but would hang on the install phase.
17. odin back to stock and factory reset again.
18. opening market for the first time after reset, phone tells me i have updates available. phone is installing them automatically. all of them installed fine.
19. Market has changed to the new version.
20. downloaded and installed xda
21. powered phone down and removed sdcard, i do this before i root.
22. clicked usb debugging and ran super one click.
23. received message from super one click asking is my phone was 2.1 or higher (never seem that before, and i've ran this program a million times.
23. powered phone down and reinstalled sdcard.
24. opened market and downloaded free version of rom manager, and it again got hung up on the install phaze. Im going to try one more reboot.
25. after reboot i went back into the market and tried to install a random free app. The free app downloaded and installed fine.
26. next im going to try and install rom manager again. Rom manager installed fine.
27. next i'll try and install root explorer. app installed fine.
28. now im going to try a tip that i got, skip installing infused v1.6 with modded recovery and install infused v2.2.3 with community kernal. Kernal downloaded fine. next I'll install kernal flasher from market. Flasher installed fine.
29. I than installed community kernal.
30. now i'll try and delete recovery from root explorer. root explorer will not allow me to over write and delete recovery.
31. As it sits, I can not flash infused 2.2.3 because i can't delete recovery, I have been able to flash infused 1.6 and was able to over write and replace recovery with modded recovery but sooner or later i will not be able to install or download anything from web or market.
Sorry for this massively long post for help, I just wanted everything out in case there's someone out that that can help me. Also, i've cleared date, cache, files, cookies etc during this ordeal with little to no affect. The only think that i haven't done was format my sdcard, not sure it that'll help but i'm up for anything at this point.
Have you tried using another file explorer? I use ES because its free and I had some root writing issues myself but after rebooting they went away. Not sure if this helps you. Also there are two back to stocks for both Rogers and att..make sure you used the right one!
