Help flashing a new rom n add-on? ? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im not sure wat I did but now when I try to flash anything it keep saying "update aborted" and update "Edify Script". Any ideas on how to fix it??
Im Running Myns RSL 5 if that helps any

That error is because you're using CWM 3.0+ and only uses edify scripting and the file was compiled with Amend scripting [old]. You would need to downgrade to an older version of clockwork, 2.x.x, or switch to amon_ra 2.3

I actually prefer amon over clockwork. Easiest way to switch is with Rom manager from the market. Just hit the flash alternate recovery button

is there another way to swtich recovery.....Rom manager premium does not have the option of flash alternate recovery available for me
EDIT-nvm sorry I found it.

Sorry your having such difficulties, once this is all figured out though itll all come easy to ya. See if you can tryTHIS

Thanx for ya help guys, its worked out great..

In a nut shell they are the same. Some have better luck with one than the other. I originally started with clock but it gave me problems so i switched to amon. So which ever one works for you then keep it. Both can wipe both can nandroid but I think only amon and back your RSA keys, unless clock is updated now.
EDIT: conqu1stador informed me that both recoveries backup your rsa keys.

Yeah before that was the draw but both backup the keys now unless something changed again.

Amon_ra, clockwork mod install.

Hey there, was wondering if the newer clockwork mod recovery would install the updated amon_ra? Or is the only way to get it in that annoying instruction thread where I feel like I'm being talked down to in the disclaimer?
Thanks!

I also have the Amon_ra on HD 004 and would like to use the new clockwork mod. I might give it a few days until all the bugs are worked out though seeing that alot of people are having problems
Do you have Rom Manager? I use it to switch between Clockwork and Amon Ra. You don't even have to power off the phone for the switch.
No I don't have It as of now, but 1 click of the a button I could.
But does the amon_ra that clockwork install have the new partitions? Anybody know?

So? Anybody know? This seems to be a huge oversight that could eff people's phones.

Your best bet is to download a copy of the modified Amon RA and only flash that one. Once you get the hang of flashing images it's simple to do.

[Q] Cannot Flash Radio/PRI/WiMAX

For some reason I can't flash my radio/wimax/pri to the latest versions for some reason, I boot into ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0 and run the .zip file and it looks like it's running and it says updating radios for a split second then it takes me back to recovery.
Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I think you have to reboot before it flashes the images
I have tried first flashing the rom and then reboot into recovery and flash the .zip file but it still does the same thing, run for a split second and then go back to recovery and when I boot and check the radio version iit shows no change

Try using a lower version of clockworkmod... lots of problems for people with the versions 3+. I currently use 2.6.0.1 and everything works perfectly. 3+ is meant for the newest of new Rom's like Cyanogen 7... if your not on that, flash an older version.
P.s. stick with 2.6.0.1 as it backs up your wimax keys...
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I will give that a shot. Thanks for the help!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
In rom manager it only shows 2.5.0.7
Is there a link to how to flash to 2.6.0.1?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Yes I'm on my evo so I'm not going go searching for it... but you should be able to find it fairly easy. If I remember correctly I had to get the correct file, then rename it to pc3600.img then boot into bootloader and it will auto find it and ask you if you want to start the update.
Or you could just use the version that Rom Manager has but it wont back up your wimax and if you somehow lose that you'll hate your life...

After some research I found an image and some steps to flash the recovery. After that the install and radio updates went flawless. I really appreciate the advice!

What is up giys. So I need ur opinion on this one

So guys I need to your opinion i root my beautiful evo whit unrevoked3 and after I rooted I got Rom manager from the app store and I download the clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 but I been having some problems for example when I tried to put a Rom or a karnel (not always) I got a mssg saying that the action was aborted but 2day I say in the Rom manager that I can flash ra recovery v2.2.2 so here is my question should I put the ra recovery v2.2.2 or I should leave the clockworkmod and thnx in advanced &*)
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You can have either or. if you're on clockwork 3.0+ you can't flash files that aren't edify compatible, on amon_ra you don't really have to worry about it. And if you do so, use the latest version, which is attached.
Can u tell me how flash that plz

I'm in agreement with the roxxorz. Use amon RA v2.3 and familiarize yourself with its menus. I recommend that you not use ROM manager because it is far too easy to to flash a Rom, kernel, mod or recovery from within the recovery itself. Furthermore, you have more control over the process....

Place the on the root of your sdcard, then boot into the bootloader, wait, then apply the update, reboot, then reboot into recovery and you'll be on amon_ra 2.3. Then make a backup immediately, because you can't restore clockwork backups.

Put the file on the root of your SD CARD then shutdown your device. While holding the down volume button, press the power button. You will enter the bootloader menu. A few lines of text will scroll on the screen and then the bootloader will automatically detect the PC36IMG.ZIP file and prompt you to install it. Follow the prompts to install. The installation takes less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot.

He's saying you should be comfortable flashing from recovery because you can't flash everything, like a kernel, from rom manager.

Jury is out on the best recovery. The layout of the partition is described in each ROM's thread, and it depends on the ROM you intent to flash.
Partition seems to be pretty standard for most roms...and i will search this jury u speak of..ty
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
you could also try AmonRA. u can partition it thru it too.
Do u have a link for amon ra for cdma desire? I searched and searched and only found one for the gsm phone.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i didnt think there'll be different recovery for cdma and gsm phones. i reckon it'll work on both but dont quote me on tht.
From my understanding cdma and gsm Roms are not compatible to flash..so i was just assuming neither are their recoveries.

i'm not too sure about that. perhaps someone could confirm tht.

You can install ROM Manager and flash CWM. You can also look around for the PC36IMG file for CWM.

Use the flash_image xxxxxx.img
where xxxx is the name. Though its easier to flash it by PC36IMG file in the bootloader.
Go to the RA thread in dev n dl the pc36img version and use bootloader. 2 easy

I use amon. Cwm doesn't wipe cache and dalvik properly and can cause intermittent stability issues with the Rom even days later after flashing..
