Root Rooted EVO 4G with Revolution installed synergy RLS1 and now stuck on white screen

[pelletman]

I am new at rooting. Anyone have any idea what I may have done wrong? Revolutionary seemed to work fine. The only think I may not understand correctly is "Upgrade of Hboot .92 is Required" I have HBOOT 6.16.1002 so I figured that was OK. I wiped cache, data and I had read that I didn't need to do dalvik as that was done when I did the factory reset from Revolutionary. Thanks for your help!

I'd rewipe everything (superwipe.zip might be a good one) and re flash. Maybe wipe things twice just to be sure.

I've tried a single rewipe and reinstalled Synergy and it is still hanging up. Been about 30 minutes since last time and still hanging on the white screen

I also have to pull the battery to get it to shut down

Hmm.... I'd give it maybe a tad longer. I remember someone said they had to wait 30-45 minutes on one of the larger sense 3.0 roms.

If that doesn't work, then flash the super wipe file a few times, and maybe even go through and manually wipe them. Then flash the Rom.
Hope that helps.

Do you have to partition your sdcard? If so, did you switch from ext2 to ext3 three times. and wipe what was needed to be wipe? I know there is instructions somewhere on xda on how to do it right.

Ocn has a link to the thread on partitioning your card somewhere here. Do a search for Synergy partition and it should pop up. I'd link you, but I'm still puterless.

You don't "have" to partition your card. It will give you more room once you move all your apps over, but its not "necessary".
Also remember you should have a class6 card or higher for this to work properly.

OK, tried to install superwipe to root directory, but it wouldn't install. I wiped the regular way and reinstalling synergy again...

Ahh superwipe is a flashable zip file. Just like with a rom. Go to your recovery and choose the "Flash Zip" or whatever it says. Then that will take care of things.

Yes, you DO have to partition the SD card with Synergy, it kind of saves problems from popping up in the near future. What is the problem with doing it? It definitely helped my phone perform better, and you still only need a class 4 or higher for this to work properly. WTF dude??

if you have apps that use a lot of memory like games and such, the higher the class the better the app will function. yes a class 4 will work. but if you are looking for performance then a class 6 or better is recommended but not necessary.

here is the guide i use:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158993

OK, I have formatted the card. Followed directions here: [GUIDE][07/07/11]How to Partition your SD Card - xda-developers I copied all the files that were on it to my computer first. I am copying Synergy RLS1 to the root of the card and I am going to reflash and reboot. Sound right? Thanks!

 

[pelletman]

I should probably also mention when stock I started with Gingerbread with OTA updates, if there were any, and I am copying the files back and forth using my computer with a micro sd adapter. Installed and rebooting now...

I had the same issue. I ended up restoring my last ROM, installed Amons RA recovery instead of clockwork and did a full wipe, superwipe, and them it worked.

HOWEVER, the ROm was super slow, would take forever to load Sense and once loaded, if I opened another program, it would take forever to load sense again. I ended up uninstalling the ROM afterall.

 

[pelletman]

I don't have amons or clockwork, I have Revolutionary... I'm not sure how I could restore my last ROM which would be OEM. I'm still stuck on the white screen... Appreciate any help. I's start from ground zero if I knew how!

actually you have clockwork mod. it is installed by revolutionary. synergy takes forever to install. what did you do before flashing it? did you wipe? or use superwipe?

 

[pelletman]

Just a regular wipe data, reset phone . I'm about to superwipe

 

[pelletman]

What do you mean forever, I waited hours!

 

[ocnbrze]

ok you need to wipe data, dalvik cache and cache. also i would use the superwipe as well. in the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/395962-guide-rooting-gingerbread-revolutionary.html sticky there is a section on how to flash a rom or kernel.

If I do fastboot it gives me a message that says Loading No Image PC36IMG.zip I think, it moves quickly... Am I missing that file for some reason? Should I copy it to root and run it?

 

[ocnbrze]

that is normal. it is programmed to check for that file name. it is used for a bunch of different applications.

 

[pelletman]

OK, I did data, cache and dalvik wipe. I try to run superwipe and I get an error. I think there may be an error in the download.. I'm going to redownload it...

 

[pelletman]

Hmm, just downloaded osaka super wipe and got an error when I tried to install. OK, I am going to wipe x3 and then try to reinstall synergy. Is there any installs that take less time than synergy just so I can see if I can get the phone to work?

Thanks!

 

[pelletman]

OK, the phone seems to hang at the white screen and it shut itself off and I have a hard time getting it to restart, maybe its the battery dying? I have it plugged in when I am doing this stuff
