Aloha Folks-
New here and am thankful for this forum. I recently bought an EVO 4g off of a gentleman. It is rooted with CM7 on it.
I tried to activated the phone with Sprint but to no avail. Finally, the seller instructed me to get a Sprint ROM from media fire and flash the ROM with it.
He gave me instructions and said to make sure I made a backup of the current system on the phone so that after I put on this Sprint ROM just to activate the phone, I could go back to this Cyanogenmod7. So, I followed the instructions and everything went well, have the backup on both my computer and on the microSD card in the phone. Sprint was able to activate the phone and now it is working for my wife.
So, I tried to reboot by holding down the power button and volume- at the same time as I have been recently taught to do. Unfortunately, I cannot get back to that screen with green lettering that would allow me to "restore" the CM7 using the nandroid backup I made earlier.
Am I doing something wrong? How can I get back into ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery so that I can restore using the CM7 ROM?
Hope that all made sense and look forward to all of yours valuable advice.
Thank you very much.
Mahalo!
