Hi,
I'm a little bit late to the game.
I've just tried loading the 3.70 patch to my unrevoked Evo and it is failing. It downloads, reboots, I get a progress bar that makes it about a quarter of the way through, and I get the android guy with the triangle of doom.
I pull my battery and am up and running again, but still with that patch to push.
Any thoughts?
Rob
When you say 3.70 patch do you mean the OTA? If so you can't do that. It will not install if you have a custom recovery, which unrevoked installs. It also won't work if you've deleted any stock apps. The easiest option would be to just flash a custom ROM that is based off the current OTA, which is most of them.

That seems counter to what I've heard before, and what happened with the last OTA.
Yes, this is the OTA I'm wanting to get applied.
GoodAndEvo seems to imply it can accept it just fine?
I'm really not a huge fan of the stock rom and am thinking about going the Cynogen route (I don't use Sense), but am wary of losing all of my configuration, text messages (backed up to gmail), etc.
Well what you are reading is either incorrect or you are misinterpreting it. Even unrevokeds website says you need to reflash a stock recovery.
You will lose everything if you go to cyanogen. Just backup your apps and whatnot before hand to make it as painless as possible.

You mean I won't lose everything if I do the backup/restore route, right?
Well you will have to redo your system settings because you cant restore them across ROMs but everything else can be backed up and restored.

Well I unrooted my phone last night because I thought I needed to do so in order to receive the latest OTA from HTC, which I learned later that I probably didn't actually need to do.
Anyway I have just rooted the phone again, and silly me, I forgot to remove some of those pointless pre-installed apps. So I actually had to do the root process again (which I can about do blindfolded now).
And onto the actual point of the post:
Besides removing apps and giving SU privileges, is there anything else worthwhile that I can do for my phone while I am still in recovery? I haven't been keeping up too much on the latest hacks and tricks.
Thanks for any info ppls
I guss u can install a custom Rom if u wanted too

So I have Unrevoked3, and want to update OTA, I don't need root anymore.
However, when I update it goes to start the update, then I get a yellow triangle with an exclamation point and an android, it just sits there til I pull the battery.
I want to be sure this is just an issue with needing to unroot, and not something else.
If its just an unrooting issue, how do I unroot from Unrevoked3? All the unrooting topics I've found were for toast or simpleroot.

Btw, the RA is Clockwork recovery.

Pretty sure all you need to do is put the update on your SD card, flash it, and then you're done. You'll lose root, but it should work that way. YMMV and all that.
I'll try it when I get home, hopefully it'll work.

any word? I too am having the yellow triangle displayed on my screen when trying to install the OTA after doing Unrevoked 3
Nevermind, Im downloading now.
Im also downloading the 1.47 RUU incase I need to start from scratch, which Ive heard works with revoke.. Im just not sure how to reflash the stock recovery image and get rid of Clockwork Mod and Unrevoked.
I ran flash sdcard:update.zip and so far its updating with no issues, will wait for boot up to see if it took.
I think using the ruu is the only way to reset the recovery, anyway thats what I did and d/ling the OTA now.
Worked fine. Booted up took a bit, but Im used to that with all updates, Im now running Android 2.2
As a side, is the FroYo update supposed to wipe apps/settings? Mine werent.
well mine seemed to work, I didn't care about reseting so my process went like this..
completely stock+unrevoked3 root+clockworkmod
RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459.exe
OTA d/l and installed over 1.47
ota installed successfully
factory defaulted with 2.2 in place
Im running 2.2, but none of my settings were reset and all my apps are still there.
Does running this : RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_rele ase_CL195459.exe erase all of the phone's previous memory?

Yes.
It does not erase your sd card tho.
So unrevoked 3 users can't use the Froyo OTA update?
I was the stock ROM with my epic rooted ( so i could use wifi hotspot). I got a notice saying 2.2 was finally available, clicked install now and my phone downloaded and then restarted. Then it said install failed and gave me the option to reboot now.
thoughts on how to get froyo working?
Bj
Supposedly , it might be because the root deleted thbe bloatware. I reinstalled all te bloatware ad tried themanual install and it failed. I think you have to remove root and reset phone to stock

If you used one click root, and it deleted the Asphalt Demo, give this a shot. Also take a look at richse's post. This will keep you from having to wipe off your phone completely.

Use Backup to gmail to save your phone log and sms. Use tb or my backup to save your files and data. Odin to eb13 (get .exe file from samsung, install on windows, find .tar file in folder) and do your restores. Restoring data across different firmware is sometimes eventful.

as Klownin says, it's probably the asphalt demo missing. Why they have it set to remove that app when it's known to cause issues in the future with updates is beyond me. Should be left there for the user to back it up and remove it much like all the other crap is left!
99.999% sure the missing demo is your issue, and it can be fixed
To be fair, having clockworkmod in the one-click also breaks updates. If the updates are going to be broken already, why not remove useless files?
Get the cwm flashable eb13 from this thread and flash it with clockworkmod. It will update you from di18->eb13. You don't need to reinstall asphalt. You won't lose your apps and settings.
Ok look I am brand new to Android, not even a week old. Everyone on the iPhone forums prefers to be babied (just like Apple treats them) so everything is very very easy and simple. Anything done can be easily undone. What I didn't realize when I came to this side, was that you can't just start modding away with no regard for what could happen or what you could need in the future. With that said, I have done the following mods:
Adeo modded ROM
Webtop hack
Root
Titanium for freezing
Now obviously I can unfreeze everything I have frozen to at least get all the stock apps back. And the Root program I used has a convenient "unRoot" option. But what about the other two? I realize that there are instructions for removing the Webtop hack, but they are extremely confusing and it looks as if I have to run a program from my comp and paste in a bunch of code to have it fixed. This looks scary.
Also, I was totally unaware that I couldn't just mod the crap out of my phone and just restore it if something fails. I realize that there is a "stock sbf" available to flash to, but people have complained that their wifi breaks. SCARY! All I (and many other noobs on here) want to do, is take away either the Adeo mod or webtop mod, or both, so that we can do the OTA update. Can someone do us a favor and lay this out for us step by step this ONE time and we promise to be more aware of what we are doing in the future?
On another note I read that the update was recalled. Does this mean that the update is no longer even available OTA?

Flashing the SBF only breaks wifi on unlocked phones that flash 1.5.2 so you don't need to worry there. Read the instructions on how to flash to 1.2.6 and make sure you have all the drivers installed before you do, flash back to 1.2.6 use aroot then run the script to retain root then run OTA (I believe it was recalled then released again as I think it was Moto that tweeted about it today) finish running ratain root script and you'll be golden running an update that fixed things I didn't even know were wrong lol

Flashing sbf doesn't break wifi on unlocked phones, totally false. If you flash 1.5.2 you can't use the 5.0 Ghz frequency due to a bug (don't know if it exists on 1.5.7)
I have an unlocked phone and flashed 1.5.2 and works fine. If yours fails, you have a defective phone or are using 5.0 ghz, exchange it or test 1.5.7.
I flashed back to 1.2.6 then did the aroot, script, ota, re-root, everything works perfectly.
Not an unlocked phone, but wifi a&g work perfectly.
my other phone is a harley!
WHEW!
This thing I BLAZING fast!! The notification bar, slide to unlock, fingerprint scanner, actually the whole UI is totally improved. Everything is instat now. I ran quadrant free and came up with these scores:

Dumb question- doing the sbf flash- will I lose all my info? Accidentally updated before getting a titanium backup!

If you have a gmail account logged into the phone your contacts will remain. Your photos are stored in a folder that gets untouched by flashes. All of your settings and apps will have to be redone. I wouldn't use titanium backup.
Even though Android claims to have built in app backup and restoring, I've yet to get it to work. Some people say they restore and login to the market and apps come flying back onto the phone. This is not my experience.

Stock android has this, it doesn't work on some of the phones with skins, like moto blur for example. It will only tell you what you've purchases

Just came up with a score of 2813 in Quadrant Free without the update applied. First run was 2481, second run right after was 2812, third run was 2813.
Wifi and Bluetooth were off, used Advanced Task Killer to quit unnecessary apps, and phone was plugged into wall with a fully charged battery (Green LED was lit).
I apologize in advance if this has been answered or if I have inadvertently offended. I did watch the video and have developed OSes for 30 years. I also have searched all over this site and the web for resolution and am making no progress, so I'm asking the 'oracle'
Got an ATT S4 (I337) a week ago - it was running UCUAMDL. I rooted it using Motochopper and was happily using Titanium Pro etc. I get notified of OTA update. OTA update downloads (357MB) yet fails during install at 30% consistsently.
I figure it is unhappy with my root - I unrooted and cannot remember which way I did it - I seem to recall SuperSU I was using did not have the built-in 'unroot' support so I grabbed the stock image and used ODIN to flash it.I also may have manually uninstalled the 'normal' way the SU app - I suspect this may be my real problem.
After flashing stock ROM for UCUAMDL phone was no longer rooted, did not say custom etc, and took the OTA upgrade just fine. This was for UCUAMF3 which did add App 2 SD support - BTW this update used another 1G of storage compared to UCUAMDL, and I could not recover the 1G by moving apps either, making it virtually worthless as far as adding support for apps in SD, lol.
The problem is now I cannot seem to get the device rooted again. Motochopper fails when installing su.apk. I suspect I have screwed the pooch - what do I need to do to get this thing rooted again?
Is it typical for an OTA update to fail 'because' the device is rooted?
Any advice is much appreciated.
You can't root mf3. You never should have taken the update if you want to be rooted. Cross your fingers that someone finds a way to root the update but I'm not sure you should hold your breath.

So is doing a stockrom restore back to MDL an option? Then just root that with Motochopper? And disable OTA updates till its figured out?
The real joke here is that to get their built in app-to-sd functionality they give you an update that hogs up another 1GB!
Nope. Can't go back. Just gotta wait it out. Cheers
Just curious if you don't mind - WHY can't you go back? (Ready for the explanation based on perms and su etc, lol) Or flash stock ROM and factory reset etc?
