I have cm6, rooted via simpleROOT. Hboot 0.76.2000, and NANDunlocked
I updated to Clockwork 2.5.0.1

I can only seem to boot to CM6 Roms including nightlys. And I cannot ACTIVATE my phone with CM6, I have my MSL but they dont work with the dialpad.


Need to know what to do here, Ive had my previous EVO that was activated, but took it off because the employee plan didnt allow it. I had an insurance claim on it so I got a new one and decided to wait until they allowed it on employee plans. ( which is today)

I was using the phone unactivated and tied to wifi for the last few months now ( can do everything except call/text/gps) However now that its allowed on an account I want to do everything else with it. I installed CM6 because I need an HID profile for keyboard/mouse/wii remote ( works great as a portable emulator entertainment center)


From what I understand I need to go to a stock rom or stock rooted rom to activate. Ive downloaded the following:

OMJ_EVO_2.2 - Error 7
CM6 Nightly sept 23- Installs but cant activate
CM6 RC1- Installs but cant activate
Fresh-Evo 3.3- error writing recovery: No space left on device
SteelROM-error writing recovery: No space left on device xda
Evo-Froyo-2.2 Rooted Stock Odexed- error writing recovery: No space left on device xda
BakedSnack 1.7: error writing recovery: No space left on device xda


So.. Before EVERY FLASH:

Ive cleared dalvik cache, wiped ALL PARTITIONS, Cleared cache, Wiped all data, went under advanced and cleared everything except the sd card, ive swapped sd cards.

Wtf is going on here.

Why will only CM6 roms install but NO OTHERS will?
 
Flash a new Rom Thru Rom Manager Make Sure you have a Nand back up...


Use Any Sense Rom or better use the new OTA rooted Rom


Activate with that then Restore back to CM6
 
getting the exact same errors running rommanager as i do directly going into recovery and doing it.

:(

In Rom Manager install the last oldest version of rom manager, it sounds like your recovery partition is corrupted or something, maybe that will clear it up.

Go to All ClockwordMod Recoveries and grab 2.5.0.0

Do ^^^^^^^^^ after you try fixing your permissions
 
is there a way to make the recovery partiton larger?

I can link the phone to my pc via fastboot and execute commands, tried flashing RA 1.8 but ran into issues

sounds all too familiar... have you tried what we said?
 
I just went and pulled my old PC36IMG and loaded it from Hboot

Well see what happens there.. If i lose root or whatever, oh well, just need to get this damn thing activated because i need a phone.
 
Fixed my issue.

I had to reinstall everything as if i was going the root method to get a stock 2.1 rom on there.

Thank god i saved my simpleroot and old roms when i originally rooted.

Now im reflashing cm6 after and its working.

Thanks for the help
