Re: EVO Full Root|Recovery|Nand Backup/Restore|Flashing for n00b's Instructions & Vid
 

This is just a guess, but you may get back to the regular recovery if you run the original PC36IMG.zip file from the rooting section.
In other words, do step 1 again.

May I ask why you want that?
To my knowledge the only difference will be that in the original recovery screen, you would get to the screen w/ the phone and the /!\ then you had to run the "recovery-windows.bat" file to get into recovery.
With amon-ra-recovery, you don't need to run the batch file. Other than that, they're pretty much identical.

Glad it worked :thumbleft:

According to some folks at xda, the amon-ra recovery isnt playing well with certain roms and mods due to some kind of signature verification. I tried flashing the Evo-NonSense from xda and this error message:

E:Wrong Digest:
system/app/HTCCamera.apk
E:Verification Failed

Installation aborted.

I've tried 2 versions of the rom and one of godzson's clocks and got the same thing.

Every time I try I get the reboot loop.

I am trying to flash a ROM and hate to ask for help, wiped and everything. Tried about 5 times.

Quick question, I backed up OMJ 1.4 with radio. If I decide to restore this rom, does it also restore the radio or just the rom. Thanks in advance.

Re: EVO Full Root|Recovery|Nand Backup/Restore|Flashing for n00b's Instructions & Vid
 

What step are you on? Are you trying to root for the first time or trying to get full root?
Regardless of the step you do NOT unzip the file, just put it on your card in it's entirety.
I doubt if this is the issue but let got of the Vol Down once it starts powering on.
Do the boot process again and watch what it says.
It checks for the file everytime and will either run it, give you an error or say "no image or wrong image" if it cant find it.

This is probably best asked in the ROM's thread but...
What ROM?
What steps of the root process have you done?
Did you partition your SD card?
How did you wipe? Android recovery or Clockwork?
Let's start there :)

The nandroid/Nand back up just backs up the ROM, not the radio. Even though OMJ "included" the radio with his ROM they are applied separately.

Re: EVO Full Root|Recovery|Nand Backup/Restore|Flashing for n00b's Instructions & Vid
 

Hey Peeps, this is interesting.....

With full root, up until now if I booted into Recovery manually I got Android System Recovery (Green font on the menu-I posted a screenie awhile ago)
If I went through ROM Manager I of course got Clockwork Recovery (blue font on menu-again, see my screenies)

Well I updated to the latest Clockwork v2.0.1.0 and now going the manual route brings me to Clockwork. Weird.
I 'spose it doesn't matter since afaik they are functionally the same.

However I think it's important to point out that while Wipe data/factory reset is on the main menu of both Recoveries, WIPE DALVIK is under the Advanced option in Clockwork, that's new for me since it was on the Main Menu of Android Recovery.

Just passing on the inflammation.

I went through all of step 1. Everything worked the way it was supposed to.
Android recovery.
Using Damage 3.1.2
I didn't partition my SD card.

On my EVO to type this, sorry for short answers.

Getting a boot cycle loop sounds like a dirty wipe to me.
You said you did it but did you do Factory reset 2X's and Dalvik 2X's?

My second GUESS is that if the latest Damage ROM was written for full root and you dont have it that may cause an issue. I jumped to Post 1 at Damage but it doesnt mention anything about full root or not. Sorry to be specific but did you mean you went through all of Step 1 or Post 1? Completing Step 1 is not full root. If you went through all the steps of Post 1 then you have full root.

Your card not being partitioned *shouldnt* matter. Mine wasnt when I flashed the latest OMJ which has aps2SD and I was fine.

IMO you're going to be best served by posting in that thread if you havent already.
Good luck.
