[DEPRECIATED][RECOVERY][CWM]ClockworkMod Recovery 5.8.2.4 for EVO 4G LTE

[-viperboy-]

Woohoo! ClockworkMod Recovery brought over by the one and only toastcfh!! Recovery is the basis for all of the work we devs do here, so please thank toastcfh for this as it was all his doing! The man doesn't even have this phone and he did it, please donate to him so we can get him an EVO 4G LTE!!

What works

• Backup
• Restore
• Flashing. zips
• ??

What doesn't work

• Mass Storage
• Touch
• ??

Requirements

• HTCdev Unlock (Choose "All Other Supported Models" and follow all the directions, including driver install)
• Rooted

How to flash via phone (Recommended)

• Download the ClockworkMod recovery.img below and place on the root of the internal sdcard. Make sure to rename to recovery.img if necessary!
• Download Terminal Emulator from the Market
• Go into Terminal emulator and type "su" (lowercase, no quotes) and accept the Superuser prompt
• Then type this exactly (no quotes) "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p22"
• If should tell you records in and out and then recovery is flashed!
• To get into recovery, you can type (no quotes) "reboot recovery". You can also access it by pressing Volume Down + Power while booting up, and then choose "Recovery". NOTE: You may need to disable Settings > Power > Fast Boot for this method to work.

How to flash via fastboot

• I will update instructions later, but if you choose this way, you likely know what you're doing. Make sure to rename to recovery.img if necessary! Place the ClockworkMod recovery.img in the platform-tools (or even tools folder, depending on your SDK version), reboot into fastboot, and type:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

How to flash stock recovery

• Follow the same set of instructions you used above, just download the stock recovery.img below.
• Make sure to rename to recovery.img if necessary!

Credits

ClockworkMod version pulled for now. This is causing an empty /misc partition, a fix is in the works!

*UPDATE* it also can write to boot! meaning flashing kernel without pc fastboot!
ALSO:
the camera button is the action button...

Also, viperROM may be out early in the morning, if initial testing is good!

Amazing!! I still have yet to get my phone, but I am hoping that there will be ROM's ready once I get it. Im itching for a new flash. Lets get some AOKP or Gummy on here ASAP!!!

Thank you so much for your work toast, just like the OG Evo, I was there at day 1 with ya.

Should I take the htc unlock or will there be another way to unlock the boot loader soon? Advice please.

Is there any issues with using the HTC Dev unlock after root and the "tampered" message?

 

[kellyrx8]

There is a way to get rid of the tampered. Just flash the RUU and its just like it came out the box. No reason not to do it.

If I flash will I lose my apps and settings?

Just do the unlock, It's fine. That's what I did. You can always relock with the ruu.

It will still happen if you run the ruu once you root. Seems like it does some check on /system and tells you tampered if its been modified (as in rooting). Don't worry about it.

If I flash will I lose my apps and settings?

Nope!

Yeah, you loose everything. It's like you just turned on your phone for the first time
