Okay so I downloaded clean rom 4.3 and I moved it to the sd card. When I try to flash the ph98img it says opening install script then installation aborted?? Help
You don't flash that in recovery. You flash it at the bootloader. Read the instructions that are provided in the OP

No clean rom is the only ics thing I downloaded. I'm trying to get a rom so I can use my device but it always sticks to htc screen when I try to power it on

Boot to recovery, flash Scott's clean wipe tool, then flash clean Rom. Make sure it is on ur external Sd card and not ur internal. Then it will reboot u automatically to the bootloader, just hit power and u are done.

So I woke up this morning and I noticed a little blue android man standing next to a caution symbol on my phone screen. I was stock rooted before this happened. I believe the recent update went ahead and updated itself while I was sleeping. Can someone help me get my phone back to stock root? If I press the menu button, it brings me to the Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 screen where I have the options to "reboot system now", "apply sdcard:update.zip"... etc. I'm not really good with Revolutionary so before I do anything I would like the opinions and suggestions of others who are more experienced. Obviously I'd like to avoid a factory reset as much as possible. Thanks!
You have to get the stock ruu 2.11.605.5 and re flash it. It will remove root unfortunately because .9 is not rootable yet.
Flash back to non root stock by putting the ruu i mentioned above on your memory card (not in any folders) and rename it to PG05IMG then power off the phone.
Hold power and volume down for a few seconds and the phone will go to the Hboot screen, it will find the PG file and update itself. Once its all done, reroot with revolutionary and then go into the developement section here and get the rooted version of the 2.11.605.9 ruu file and just flash that in recovery.
You will have to flash the new radios as well. They have to be renamed to the same name I posted above and flashed the same way thru the Hboot screen
So even if I were to back up with My Backup Pro, I wouldn't be able to recover all my data, apk's, photos etc. because I wouldn't be able to root on the latest update, correct?
Try wiping cache and rebooting before you flash an RUU, lose root and your data. If it bootloops or is still otherwise non functioning THEN you will have to RUU it.

Your photo and apps should be backed up on your sd card. your setup will be wiped but all the stuff on the sd card will be fine. Just have to reinstall
as for what the post about wiping and rebooting, that will not help unfortunately because the update deletes root. If you want to get back to root, you have to reinstall.

All -
My beloved 3D is telling me there's a security update being pushed by Sprint. I am rooted but with an as yet untouched (stock) ROM. I obviously don't want to lose root - will allowing this update remove root (I've had that issue with past phones). I backed out of the update but the stupid notification won't go away so if it comes to pass that I should *not* allow the update, I need to figure out how to get rid of that blasted icon.
Thanks as always
If you are on hboot 1.50 just flash stock recovery and then take the update...you will not lose root...when done, flash back to wutever recovery you were using before and you're all done....

If you could see me now, you'd see eyes glossed over, deer in the headlights look. Yes, I'm on 1.50... To flash the stock recovery I'm guessing I just go into recovery, apply update from zip, and go, correct? Where can I find the stock recovery at? Then, when done, if I have a stock recovery I don't know how to put shooter xc back on... Cripes I'm chasin my tail...
Wut u need to do is download the 3 files i have attached here for u.Make sure to extract the 2 zip files.
1.Install flash image gui like any other apk and open.
2.Click on Recovery Image then browse to where ever the stock recovery is on your sd card and select it and then click flash.
3.You should now have stock recovery on ur evo so just proceed to install the update. If all goes good you should now be updated.
4.If you want to put cwm as your recovery again just open flash image gui and repeat step 2 but this time just browse to cwm on your sd card and flash that.
You should be all set know.

Luda305,
Is this proven and can you run a rom that isn't updated?
Thank you in advance!
Yes this is proven as I did this myself. Only works if your on the stock rom of your phone. If you mean can you flash a rom that is not updated after you do this the answer is yes. The radio will stay updated no matter what rom you flash since we are on hboot 1.50 and can't flash radios. Hope this answers your question.

You can't. You need a custom recovery. Unless your s-off and you flash it threw the bootloader.

Also - as far as FlashImageGUI, I downloaded (and thus paid .99 for) my copy from the market. I'm a firm believer in rewarding those who put the work in.
I can't get the update to work I used flashimagegui; flashed to stock recovery; went to HTC software update, hit check now, downloaded, hit install now; it goes into bootloader-type loading screen; gets about 1/5 of the way then displays an android software with a red triangle/exclamation point.
I suspect that if I can find this update in the form of a zip, I could just apply the update from CWM but I have no idea how to get the update in that form... Any help is greatly appreciated

Did you validate that the stock recovery worked by holding volume down and power and booting into recovery? Did you fastboot oem lock? I havent seen much success with people using the flash image GUI but i've seen around the forums that if you go into the custom recovery, flash the stockl recovery zip, flash the stock rom zip then then fastboot oem lock, it works.

don't use clockwork, use the amon recovery.
Use among ra recovery. Other that, how long have you let it sit at that screen? Sometimes it takes several minutes, just be patient.
Also, what rom, and are you on the new leaked firmware?
I could remote into team viewer on your computer and flash amon ra recovery on your phone and walk you through installing a Rom and kernel for you if you want.
But to properly wipe, it should be data, cache, dalvic cache, and system

Just because you are against flashing the leaked firmware doesn't make it bad.
To the OP, if you are uncomfortable with relocking your phone to flash the new firmware I would try one of the gb roms. The update for ICS should be anyday now.

first odin to stock
copy root.zip
enter recovery and reinstall packages and again reinstall packages
then u will enter cwm from there flash cm7 which is copied in your sd card
after flashing allow it for some time to settle down
flash gb bootloader
later copy cm10 files .....if u want any other jelly bean rom it is advised to flash ics then jb
flash cm 10 that's it.........
if u have froyo bootloader then use 3 button combo and gb bootloader 2 button combo.........here is the link for any assistance

I believe that when you flash CM7 it flashes the GB bootloaders. At least that was my assumption. Once I achieved root and super user, I followed the same steps of wiping, using kernel cleaning script and flashing CM7, then Helly Bean, wiping and formatting in between roms of course.

My cousin gave me his Thunderbolt.
I was able to operate the device fine. Then I did an OTA update. I wasn't able to complete the update cause I needed more battery. So I re booted and now I'm getting this screen.
When I re booted and hit menu it has an exclamation point symbol with an android on the screen in the back ground with Revolutinary CWM v4.0.1.4.
Now I'm stuck in this screen and can't get out.
If this phone is rooted why did you do an OTA? Turn the phone off and hold the power buton and power and volume down and see if you cant get in to recovery from the boot section. Most likely you might need to flash an RUU

Then select recovery and let me know what all options you have. If you can load roms. I would do a wipe and then install a new rom and see if that fixes your issue.
While in fastboot does it say s-off or s-on. If it says s-off you are rooted.

You can find roms in the Development section here at XDA, also at Rootzwiki, and my Rom is linked to my banner in my signature in every post.
There are quite a few options to choose from.
I suggest reading up on some of them and decide what may suit you best.
Assuming this is all very new to you, you may just want a rooted stock rom.

If you like sense rom sky raider is a great stable rom. It sounds like you are new to all this. Santod sense ICS is a good one to. Like said read up on the many different ROMs out there. Many are good ROMs.
Yeah WiFi tether is way better. Just ask how to set it up after you choose your rom. As the settings in that depends on you're rom. Main thing is your phone is fixable and not broken. Just don't do ota any more as its for stock unrooted phones.
