i would like to know what is the stock EVO 3D partition type (EXT3 or EXT4).
at the time of Gingerbread, there were no EXT3, but when the update came, and got installed without any wipe (we didn't lose the apps), i'm curious to know: did HTC convert the system partition to EXT4, and magiically restored data?

I received a replacement phone from Sprint. My first 3d was hboot 1.3, my replacement is a 1.5 that has been unlocked via the HTC method.
Is it safe to run back ups from the old phone?

Everything I ever read when I had an Evo 4G said not to....things like it could hose your 4G... I suppose as long as you didn't restore the wimax partition, but idk for sure....I would wait till a few more of the guys chime in...
Toby is in HR which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.....
No don't. It may brick your phone

Short answer: I agree and disagree. It all depends on which partitions you're restoring from the backup.
Long answer: If you restore the /system partition, /data partition and boot (kernel) partition, there should be no issues, assuming the hardware is the same and the previous kernel/system supported the current devices hardware.
If you're looking at attempting to restore/flash a radio from a previous device, I wouldn't touch this as this *could* brick the device or cause other issues.
Worse case, when restoring system, data and boot, the device doesn't boot, meaning kernel isn't compatible with new device hardware, reboot into recovery and flash a stock kernel. Or 2nd worse case, the system boot loops during the animation, might have to wipe /data and only be able to restore system and kernel (assuming their custom from some ROM, otherwise stock would be the same as already loaded on the device).
Hope that helps clarify!
Hey all, was wondering if there is a known way around this, probably not tho. I have my work email setup on my phone, it is an Exchange account and requires me to set a PIN or password plus encrypt my SD card. This is all fine and dandy except TWRP can't make Nand backups because it doesn't seem to have access to the encrypted card. Is the some way I can give it permissions to access the card from recovery?

Could you just make backups to your internal memory and then later transfer them to your sd card?

No, it will not backup to internal

Why won't it backup to internal?
In twrp, I went to mount and mounted internal, unmounted external sd card, and told it to use internal memory and it backed up to the phone.

it backs up to internal if. you set it too.

I'll try it again but it was giving me some error when I tried to mount and backup internally.

Do you have enough internal space?

is your internal partition also encrypted?
I have more than enough internal space, and no only the ext_sd is encrypted

Get into communication with the developers of the recovery. If it was throwing you some error then let them know what it was and maybe they can help you out.

I would use a modified mail.apk(sense) or a stock aosp email.apk that has been modified to ignore the exchange security. Therefore you wont have a device administrator and it won't be encrypted in the first place. You can find these in the themes and apps section.

Thanks, I'll check that out. Annoying that it makes you change things to receive the email

Did you try an alternate "mail.apk" ? There are few floating around that doesn't enforce this policy. You'll need to wipe your card once more. But after that don't add an Exchange account UNTIL you've first replaced the Mail app, and you'll be set --- no more SD encrption or pass lock required. You'll have to copy the app after every ROM flash unless the ROM includes this app.
Check: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1520431
Or check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679853 (shameless self promotion of a thread I made haha). I made a mail.apk with mikeyxda's mods (roaming sync and html format) and security removed.
I couldn't tell you for sure if the security removal mod that I used (the same method from the link in the post above) would bypass the encrypted sd card requirement, though.

My EVO 4G LTE is rooted and running a stock ROM. I have TWRP installed also.
I need to wipe all of my personal info, but I want to double check the best process to make sure I don't lose root or screw anything up!
Do I simply reboot into recovery and select factory wipe? Do I wipe all caches and internal memory first?
Thanks

Factory reset should be good enough and would be like getting a brand new phone.

From a Sense ROM, use dialer code ##786#, select menu, then reset. If you're selling it with an SD card, just format the card and be done with it.

Well,yesterday i was reading some articles about some of the partitions on our phone that are not used any longer, and so , we end up loosing internal space ( from our evo around 100-300mb)
From what i found , it seems that the ICS is not using the Cache partition any longer , or doesn't require the huge amount of data that was allocated to it , in stead it uses the data partition for caching and storing data .
Is there a way we can...repartition some of the space from the cache or other partitions for our data partition ? Or even from system ?

Does a2sd work on this phone? Is there any need? I'm upgrading to a htc evo 4g lte on Saturday from og evo, just wondering if apps 2 sd is working or needed

I think that there is no I need, but others mighty say otherwise. Since you are coming from the OG Evo, I know that you have a microSD.
On the LTE, it has the internal memory (just like the OG), and it has the internal storage, which is the equivalent of the SD card on the OG. And THEN you have the external SD. Apps aren't saved to the ext SD card, and you have plenty internal storage for the apps. The data from the apps are automatically saved to the internal SD (like 1gb+ for real racing 3).
