my evo 3d GSM is unlocked, with s-off and it is rooted. it also has CWM recovery on it. I am a noob when it comes to kernel flashing so i need help. i understand the basics of how to flash but when i try to flash either Leedroid's kernel or unity v3b kernel i get the same error message in CWM something about status 7. i did some research and found out that this comes from the phone trying to put the boot image where it isnt supposed to go, i believe that this problem is coming from the fact that i used the revolutionary tool to s-off my device and then it asked if i wanted to flash CWM right then and there... so i did that, rather than the traditional way. please if you have any help in this matter let me know and i just want the kernel, i am not interested in any ROMs. ALSO i would like to keep all of my data so no sd wipe-age please, im fine with cache wiping. please help me install this kernel.
Try using Flash Image GUI to flash your Kernal,

hello i have resently unlocked my bootloader through htc's unlock method. i then followed that with installing cwm 4.0.1.4 and then rooting my phone through cwm.
i have read over http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193948 to understand everything i would be getting with the synergy rom. however i cannot seem to find an installation guide anywhere and after researching everything thing i could find from my understanding i need to do these things
install my rom OM|Nightly|◄●|Synergy 3Dvo|●►|2.3.4RLS1(zeus mods)|☆TESTING EXT4 TWEAKS|
flash over a compatible kernel
flash over a proper radio img (which from my understanding if done wrong WILL brick my phone)
my questions are. 1 in what order do i do these things? 2 how do i flash my radio? 3 is this the correct command for flashing a kernel (fastboot flash boot bootimgname.img)
thank you in advance for any response and i do apologize for all the questions. im just really fearful of bricking a $600 phone
Simple
Ok first off odds are you have the latest radio go into settings>about phone> software information>more if your baseband version is 0.97.10.0808 you have the newest radio. To flash the synergy rom download the appropriate file plug in your phone to your computer and move the zipped file to the root of your SD card don't unzip it move the whole zipped file. Power off your phone and then holding the power button and the volume down button your phone will reboot just keep holding them until it does you will be at the boot loader after it runs through the loading option scroll down to recovery press the power button to go to recovery. Once in recovery scroll down to apply zip from sd card press the power button press the power button gain on choose zip from sd card you should now see the synergy rom you place there on the root of you SD card press the power button again to flash the rom once it had finished continue going back until you get to the main screen and click on reboot phone viola your done you don't need a different kernal the one that comes with the rom works just fin hope this helps if you get stuck you cam PM me and I will try and help

if your going to flash synergy use the offical build i wouldnt use the unoffical till u have tried out the rom. firt you will place the rom on sd card it doesnt matter where as long as you know where it is when you go into recovery after that reboot your phone then if you want flash a kernal you will also do that in recovery as for radios there is a sticky post in the cdma dev thread where it says root/roms/guide just go to the radio section if you have anymore questions ir need help with anything you can pm me anytime i will be more than happy to help
Thanks guys. I flashed CleanROM 2.3 right after I posted this. Its pretty much the same thing just wasn't sure and I've bricked an older phone before so I just wanted to makes sure I didn't do it with my 3d. Thanks again!
no problem if u ever need help with anything pm me i will happy to help
Hey so I installed synergy and ran into a few issues with it. One issue was none of the restart shutdown options function how they are support to. Most just reboot the phone rather than booting into recovery or shutting down. I also couldn't restore batch backups in titanium backup. I had a few other issues that are currently slipping my mind. Could this be happening because I'm using my stock kernel?
What is the best method to use to update Kernels and ROMs?
I'm using Flash Image to flash the Kernel and TWRP to flash the ROM but I see alot of other methods out there not sure what the best is to use?
Just and FYI I use the HTC unlock method with S-on
I've been using ClockwordMod for 6 months now and have had no issues. It always works just fine for me. I see other people who say that TWRP is the best, but have yet to understand or see anyone give a good reason as to why it is better. I've thought about installing TWRP, but since Clockwork has worked great for me, I don't see the benefit unless someone can enlighten me?
I use twrp 1.1.1 its my favorite one of all and I tried all of them. You can flash multiple zips all at 1 time. Im on hboot 1.5 so I always fastboot into recovery so I know kernel will stick. Some roms out there will not flash unless you use twrp 2.0 you just have to read devs OP's thoroughly.

I agree with Jabawockee. I've tried them all and 1.1.1 is great but for just flashing a different kernel i use gui and to just flash mods I was gui to flash my recovery then reboot into recovery and flash my mods.
I just got this motorola atrix
bootloader unlocked, rooted and twrp recovery.
info:
build 4.5.91
Android 2.3.4
baseband N_01.77.30P
WEBTOP 1.2.0-110
KERNEL [email protected] #2
I use to play with hd2 and load trough recovery almost about anything.
Is this the same game or got to watch out...
I mean i load a new rom trough recovery?
nothing to worry about?which rom is more stable?
thanx
hei, u dont have to answer or help....
i find out that u need just to load new rom into card and install trough recovery...nothing to worry about if is costum rom...
hope it helps somebody else...
yes you are not expected to have any issues flashing. Make sure you read the ROM thread carefully about datawipe/factory reset.
Some ROM owners specify you to do it and some don't.
Make sure you have latest CWM. I happened to used old CWM made by Tenfar and soft-bricked mine. After installing ROMRACERs CWM I was able to load CM9 without issues.
Alright, so I wiped my phone in TWRP in preparation to flash something and I neglected to make a backup (I know, rookie mistake). The ROM I tried flashing will not go through and now I am stuck. I can boot into recovery fine but I really need a ROM to flash so I have something to boot into. I can't use an RUU (I have tried), probably because I used the bootloader unlock/root work-around. I'd gladly take any advice but I think what I need is just a flashable .zip of the stock ROM or maybe a backup I can restore in TWRP. If some kind soul could help me out, I'd be forever grateful.
are you referring the the stock rom offered by mycomputerdoctor? If so, the flashing does fail, but your phone will still work. From what I understand the only problem is the error in TWRP and you wont have root anymore.
My phone does indeed still work, but I wiped /system before trying to flash so I don't have a ROM installed currently and therefore cannot boot past the splash screen.

Unfortunately, that is an RUU, which does not work for me. Thanks, though.
install the rom, even if it says fails, it should still boot. you could also just adb push the updated rom on to your sd card.

Im in the same boat :/ stuck in recovery and have no rom to flash. going to try to adb the latest version and see how that goes.
I was afraid of something like this. We shouldn't be messing with our phones without a back to factory state.
I'm actually all set now. I flashed the updated stock, debloated ROM and made a back up so I'm good to go.

not sure...but if you are properly rooted, perhaps just reflashing whatever current kernel you are on will cure that (and the proper modules). Not 100% sure that is the cure, but from flshing various Mods, kernels and rooted applications which "killed" my phone, whenever I used my nandroid to get back to a normal place I have had to reflash the kernel to make WiFi work
I'm having the same problem. I'm running a stock kernel, please reply if that works for you.
I've searched the problem the only thing I could come up with was to re flash the kernel but since Im running the stock kernel and haven't flash another in the first place that doesn't help me much.

Ok, i got a LOT figured out with this phone last night. It seems that if you flash a custom kernel WITHOUT flashing the modules that go with that kernel in recovery, then you'll lose wifi and possibly some other stuff.
I had flashed a custom kernel and not correctly flashed the modules with it so therefore i lost wifi.
To fix this, simply reflash the kernel in fastboot and then go DIRECTLY into recovery from teh bootloader and flash the modules, then simply reboot. There's no need to wipe and cache or dalvik cache.
If you HAVEN'T flashed any custom kernel then just look for the stock kernel modules on this forum (a simple search will yeild results) and ket the unsecured stock kernel too and flash them and you'll be set to go.
Hope this helps you guys out
