You need to the phone. To do that, the battery needs to be for a couple seconds then you can the battery in.

After that answer we can finally close this thread!

I ran into the same issue. I had stock, wanted to try Cm6, had to flash a different boot leaders to get Cm6 to flash properly.
Then I thought id see if I could go back to stock from a nandroid backup I made. Just as you had tried and I found out that I couldn't go back to stock via nandroid because of the same issue I had with going to Cm6 : the boot loader.
I made a nandroid backup up Cm6, booted to Cm6 and ran the 3.29.ruu exe on my desktop and this took me back to complete stock, even unrooted it.
So I rooted again via unrevoked, made a nandroid back up.
For the sake of testing I tried to restore from my nandroid backup of Cm6 and it worked. Then I restored back to stock via my nandroid and it worked.
Basically it came down to loader versions for me and bet that is your issue.
I know I rambled a bit but I think its relevant.

[Q] Liberty Rom and Nandroid

I have had my X for around 6 months and have wanted to flash a rom but have been scared to say the least! I have a nandroid of my phone which is up to date OTA, rooted, overclocked, and otherwise stock. My question is if I flash this rom and for some reason don't like it, can I restore with my nandroid and get my phone back to the way that it is without any issues? Also, does this rom delete my contacts and other information? I really like the backup assistant for all of my contacts (over 500). Thanks in advance for any answers and advice!

As long as you take a nandroid backup you are safe =) I recommend syncing your contacts to google...then no matter what rom you use, you can always pull your contacts back down. So yes, it will wipe out your contacts.
Let me know if you have more questions! =)

Yeah if you didn't like the liberty rom you could restore your nandroid backup and it will literally be exactly the same when you backed it up... regarding your issue about contacts...when you flash a new rom... once its done installing and boots up its like the first time you turned your phone on so yes everything will be deleted... if you're worried about apps download titanium back up pro and back up your apps and data.. or it will download all yours all from the market...your issue about contacts, personally i used the back up assistant first but ended up just using google contacts because its the easiest way to restore contacts when you flash roms every so often... that's my opinion, i may be wrong...and if you're scared about flashing a rom... i think everyone was on their first time... you just gotta go for it!
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Just wanted to thank you guys for your input. I went ahead and installed the rom, used Titanium to back up my apps and so far I LOVE IT! It is ALOT faster than stock, just have to get used to the new UI. I also took the liberty since I was experimenting with something that I can't live without and did the uncapped data mod. I am hoping that it will make a difference as well. I have alot of new things to test and play with tonight, just hope that I can go to sleep so that I can make it to work tomorrow!
A special thanks to the developers for this rom, it is AWESOME!

Don't just limit yourself to liberty...i agree when people say roms are a personal choice... so give all of them a chance!
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

If I use titanium to backup my apps can I load my apps into the rom I decide to flash? And how do you go about it?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Yeah if you back up your apps with titanium pro..you just restore them once you flash the rom...ill make a nandroid of roms i like... but i always stick to apex... i like some blur stuff...
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

I recently took the leap and flashed my first rom a few days ago too. I ended up going with Apex and like it much better than stock so far. I am thinking of doing like hullie said above and trying out some different ones in the coming weeks like Liberty and GummyJar. It's definitely scary at first, but once that first boot up was complete, the look on my face was like a child on Christmas morning.

I agree-was scared at first like getting my first xxxxx! Lol-anyway, now its second nature as long as you have your backup. Try darkslide rom. Two versions. Blur and blurless..

Correct. By default I don't believe any of the custom ROM's (just a guess..can't recall for sure) come with google maps installed. You must pull this down yourself.

Thanks guys

Yeah, installing your first ROM can be quite nerve-racking, but once you've done it you say to yourself, 'that's it? i was so worried about that for nothing!".
I'm currently on my first ROM, which is Liberty, and although I love it, I can't use the camcorder for some reason to record movies. I tried installing both the aosp camera and blur camera, but both just FC.

the very minute before you install the rom make a nandroid and remember to ALWAYS wipe the phone before installing the rom. if you dont like the rom, reinstall dxbootstrp from the market and recover your nandroid.
as for your contacts: screw backup assistant. sync ALL your contacts with google and they will be automatically on your phone as soon as you sign in with you google account.

Did you update to the 2.3.340 update before installing LIberty? I was running Liberty on top of 2.3.15 and this is due to an incompatible library (.so) file in /system/lib
If you want the files for 2.3.15, let me know. I have them laying around someone :looks around:

The latest update I did was the one ota that included Madden. Is that 2.3.15?

No you are on 2.3.340. I'm not sure why you are having problems with the camera. If it really bothers you, I would suggest re-flashing liberty.

Mytouch 4G won't FLASH ANYTHING!!

Ok, I've looked and searched and googled for the last few weeks now. I have a mytouch 4g that is on the stock rom w/ ota update. I do have perm root and s-off, per the thread here on xda. However, I can't get it to flash anything at all. Either in the hboot (bootloader) or in clockwork. I tried to flash a the cm7 (had on my hd2 and loved it) in clockwork, says can't open /directory addy with rom, then has this: (bad) installation aborted. I tried to flash a stock image to try and start over, the pd15img, had it named correctly etc. It goes for a sec, then says the .nbh files are missing for 3 different things. Can anyone help or is this phone effed? I can use it just fine, but the stock rom sucks and has stupid drm, which doesn't let me play most of my music. If someone can help and has paypal I WILL make a donation to you, I'm not rich, but am a busy father of 2 divorced with a full time job. PLEASE HELP!!!!

What cwm are you running?

3.0.0.5, I went to older versions of cwm also and still no dice at all. I am at a loss. I am by no means an expert, but have jailbroken iphones forever and did all the work on my hd2, so I'm not a complete noob but I still consider myself to be compared to others.

That's why you can't flash the stock image, which is Froyo based. 3.0.0.5 can only flash Gingerbread ROMs. However, that doesn't explain why CM7 won't boot for you, since 3.0.0.5 should successfully flash that. My suggestion would be to flash CWM 3.0.0.6 (can handle all ROMs) and then try re-flashing CM7 or the stock ROM.

I'll give it a whirl right now....will report back

There's the download for it. I meant to put it in my previous post.

I was pretty sure I tried this a while ago, and I was right, still nothing. It says the same thing, (bad) installation aborted, before all of that it says can't open /filedirectory. Seriously peeved at this phone at this point. It will not flash anything at all.

It could also be a corrupt SD card, or even though you have S-OFF, your phone isn't actually fully rooted (seems unlikely though since CWM is successfully installed). I'm sure someone else will chime in here eventually.

i have a couple spares, i'll check it out real quick. usually my comp will tell me if there is an issue with the sd card, so I'll try another quick like. I have and am using an sdhc patriot that is ok per tmobile, and i have an 8 and 16gb laying around also
edit it was a kingston in there. would that make a difference?

Could also be a bad download. Id delete the old redownload whatever rom your wanting. Make sure you do a full wipe of everything and wouldn't hurt to do out a second time.

Was just thinking about that. Is there any difference in doing it right on the phone compared to a pc?

Not that I have noticed. I get the same amount of bad downloads on pc our my phone. Buy when it does happen I just download again and wipe everything again. There is a list here somewhere of everything to wipe, can't remember off the top of my head.

How many bad downloads have you gotten? I always download ROM files with my PC, and then transfer them to the SD via the USB cable. I always verify the MD5 when I can, but most devs don't provide that these days.

I gotten about 11 since I have had this phone. Thinking its something to do with my router. Noticed I drop connection for a second randomly. which can cause file to be corrupt. To lazy to get a new router lol

Glad you got it working! Payment is totally out of the question. The XDA community is sort of a "pay it forward" sorta thing. If I had paid everyone that's helped me with things over the years, I'd be broke!

Warning about ODIN Packages and Such

I have heard of a lot of reports from people that loose functionality of their radio and even more drastic problems after flashing some ODIN packages...
Now, i don't know which ODIN package is responsible, i know that bubby323 did make a faulty package, somewhere down the line..
ODIN is a last resort... Us here can get you up and working most of the time without even having to open up... ClockWorkRecovery is our friend
If you absolutely need to ODIN, What i suggest is going into the package with 7-zip, and checking whether or not there is a modem file... if there is, delete it... That's just my advise
Also, i have had a couple of reports of people getting fried from with CWM.... As of right now, i would tread lightly in there.... Backups and Restores should be fine, but don't do anything crazy in there If you do need to do anything does not require edify (3.0+) scripting, i suggest using the blue recovery...
This is all just my own personal opinions and such, do whatever you want

Thank you for the warning

Gingrerbread & Rooting

Hello everybody! I'm new to the forums. I also got a really big question to ask. Well I usually root my phone with Visionary using a TempRoot. Then I updaed my Evo Shift via OTA, or going to the HTC Software update thing and now I can't really root my phone I guess. Is there a solution to root my phone even though I have Gingerbread? If not right now, maybe soon? I really want to use the tethering app to tether to my PS3. PLEASE HELP!!!!

As of now no there is not. And it might take a while before there is one. Idk if your phone already came with the ota update, but if it didn't you could have waited cuz the same day the ota went live there was a rooted version here already.

Just about 2 hrs later it was rooted.Pretty much a fundemental, if htc or sprint push out an ota update it will unroot your phone.

You can use the sprint RUU to downgrade to froyo and then root it, worked for me, I'm not on my computer so I can't link it but it shouldn't be that hard to find. And instead of temp rooting it there's a nice gui in the dev section that will perm root it pretty easily then u can flash the rooted 2.3 update through CWM

You will need a computer but if you remember setting up your gingerbread update it asks if you want to back up your device on google..... Use ruu to go back root and flash a rom like cm7 and you can restore your device or you can use titanium backup to... Well... Back up and restore your apps. Also google as you know backs up your contacts. So you should be set.... Anyone else let me know if there is something i missed.

The RUU can be found in the Evo Shift wiki by going to the following URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Speedy
Luckily the RUU pretty much walks you through the process itself. You'll need the HTC sync drivers if I remember correctly in order for it to find your phone. You should be all good. Good luck, dood
