Switch from CMW to Amon Ra, is my suggestion, and if by chance you're using ROM Manager, don't....

Im rooted, and every time i try to flash clockwork through odin i either get a fail, or if i keep trying sometimes it goes through and says pass but it gets stuck on a force start loop and i cant do anything in recovery menu...so i end up fash stock files for telus to return the phone to its new state.

What version of clockwork recovery are you trying to flash with odin?
From what I can tell you should be using the one from the vibrant?
good day.
Okay thank you. I'm at work right now and I will try tonight
Sent from my SGH-T959D using Tapatalk
On 2.1 I flashed the Vibrant version (using ROM Manager)
From I have read, with the 2.2 update installed you can't flash it (yet).

EVO 2.3 root guide using Revolutionary

Wrote up a quick Guide over at the INFECTED ROM forums. Here's the link if anyone is having trouble rooting and flashing. If you're completely new to the game head over and check it out.

Thanks for this
No problem. at the time of posting there were no guides out and I noticed a lot of people having problems so I threw one together and put it up.
Just flashed the Synergy ROM on my EVO, but it has been at the white "htc EVO 4G " screen for about 10 minutes. is that bad?

THANKS! worked great.
my question is about this part
"From here the first thing I did was download the AMON RA recovery because it's generally more stable and will allow the flashing of older roms and zip files. The newest version can be found in this thread"
Is this required? I am a complete rooting newb, have wanted to for a while, then as i was ready, the update came.
U can simply use the su-2.3.6..3 ef signed .zip
that u flash in recovery to get superuser on the phone that blue clockwork mod flashes all the roms back and forth froyo to ginger and back just fine
or download rom manager and flash the orange cwm that does all of them too for sure!

[Q] rooted MT4G keeps trying to do Offcial update

How do I get it to stop?
I'm running Ice Glacier V1.1.6 and there was a official software update for the MT4G yesterday, I was dumb and told it to update (which would unroot me) and when it started to update it went into ClockworkMod recovery, I tried to reboot it but it will start and then try to update again and bring me back to recovery. I mounted the SD card and looked around but I could not find the update to delete it so it stops trying. anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks guys, Its been doing this all day and I really wanna use my phone
(already looked all around google and here before I made the thread)

Wow you still running iced glacier? There are way better stable roms now a days. Might want to check them out.
Maybe flashing a different rom will stop it from trying to update.
But I'm also curious. Doesn't also give you an option to yes continue with the update or not to continue?

what would you recommend for a new ROM? at the time I rooted it (like 5 months ago) everyone was recommending it as the fastest stable one around, haven't really thought about changing it but would like faster one.
and No, If it had the option this would be so much easier haha, It just starts it it's self, It will say "shutting down" then will say it is loading the new update then halfway threw it says it failed to read the signature and will turn on recovery

Imma load a new ROM to see if it will fix the issue but first I need to back up all my apps, anyone know how to if it wont let me use the phone for more then a min before throwing me into recovery again, I use Titanium backup but have no been able to make a new back up with the new apps I've downloaded in the last couple weeks, also have a lot of app date I need to move onto the SD card
alright in recovery I'm doing a back up right now, Then Im going to restore it and hopefully it solves the issue. If it does I will delete the thread.
---------- Post added at 05:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 AM ----------
Just did a backup from recovery and am about to restore my system, will my backup be safe? if I do a system restore does it touch my SD card at all?
ughhhhhhhhh! just a full restore and it still turned off and went into recovery, can someone please help?? If all else fails then I will put a new ROM on, but I really want to fix it first so I can back up all my apps. anyone know a way to fix it??

If you do a back up of a currupted rom you will restore a currupted rom. Did you try flashing a different rom?

What have you recently flashed or done?

Is that the only way using odin.? If so can some please post the links i need. Im fairly new to this.. I used odin before but had it set up on another computer not this one....
I can boot into clockwork,,,, just when i reboot from there it gets stuck, why would this be happening. Maybe i didnt have the correct rom on it.?
You might have to start over but not with odin if you have a rom on your sdcard or if you download one to it. what rom are you on and kernel? And have you flashed something that migt have caused it?

Go to the Development section at the top in the stickies is a thread called How to fix a semi-bricked Epic. That has all the info and links you need.

This happened to me too, I was only able to get to the boot screen and it would freeze, and it would only let me get into clock work mod, make sure you have a rom in the root of your SD and flash the rom in clock work mod, the new rom should boot up.

if you have a fairly recent cmw backup and you are on cmw 3.1.0.1 (purple if I got the ver. # wrong) try advanced restore, and just restore the one at the top of the list. Worked for me when I flashed a bad kernel. Good luck!
It'd be nice if you were more specific on what you did before you screwed your phone up so we wouldn't have 10 plus people figuring out basic crap smh. -_-
Quit being such a noon. If you had the smarts to flash a rom....then figure it out. I've made the same mistakes. Better make sure the rom is actually for your phone......noob.
Make sure you have the right kernel for your rom. Most of the times when you get stuck at the samsung logo is because you don't have the right kernel.

Double check your ROM. Make sure that it includes a kernel, made for your phone, and isn't some highly experimental thing ROM that may or may not work.

Without a coherent thought its kinda hard to figure out exactly what you need. If your device is rooted then you dont have to reroot to change something. Can you tell us exactly what you are trying to accomplish?

....When in ROM Manager, click on the first item that says "Flash Clockworkmod Recovery"..that'll get you a recovery, to make a backup, and to flash a new ROM. And to bring it to stock, the stock ROMs are here, just choose 2.2.1 or 2.3.4, then flash in recovery, or rename to PD15IMG.zip and reboot into bootloader, sorry I forgot which one when flashing stock. FLASHING STOCK WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR ROOT! If you want rooted GB, gohere! Good luck!
^^ Thanks. It worked. Now I can install a new ROM. I am having trouble backing up. ROM manager backs up the entire ROM. I just need Settings, SMS and contacts to be backed up. Not ROM

Use TI Backup, it my personal preference, mybackup pro/root. Both are great, choose which one

I have installed Titanium Premium. It has a very huge list of apps. I only watch SMS, Call Log, Contacts to be backed up and no applications back up. any quick way ?
There is a batch mode you can use.
Click preferences button / batch.
If you use your Google account to manage your contact, no need to backup them.

After I click batch, I see the option backup all system data and all apps. Is this the right option for me ? It will backup all SMS, Call Log etc ?
Yes, It should be ok. I usually backup everything and restore only what I need. If you are not short on disk space, it's easier...
