[Q] Bootloop flashing rom HELP needed - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Been flashing roms all day to figure out what's going on.
I'm currently back to a stock 2.2 rom odexed running clockwork recover.
Trying to flash to Virus' new rom. In attempts to flash the rom, I get stuck on the white htc evo 4g screen. I've wiped the dalvik cache, battery stats, cache, factory reset in that order before installing the rom.
I have no problems flashing other roms, I don't know what the issue is. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks for any help.

I have no experience with this ROM, but you may want to try RA Recovery. I personally have never had a problem with clockwork, but many say they have. I might also be a damaged copy of the ROM. In that case check the md5 sum to see. Hope this helps.

When I did my first root/ROM-flash a few days ago, I was stuck on an infinite bootloop with Fresh Evo because I didn't properly unlock my NAND via Toastch's Part 2 root instructions. If this is your first custom ROM, try re-doing Part 2, which is the full NAND unlock (with the new PC36IMG.zip file).

Turns out that I didn't have full nand unlock, didn't know there was a partial lol... Say that because I've flashed at least a dozen rom/kernel/mod setups with clockwork Mod with no problems.
I went through and did the full nand unlock and switched to amon ra recovery and that solved my problems.
virus' rom is a beast you guys should check it out.
Anyway thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

Finished Rooting

So i just recently finished rooting with Unrevoked 3 and i want to try out Roms now, I tried to flash Damagecontrol v3.5 but it got me stuck on the loading screen and wouldn't get past it so i just did a restore with ROM manager (thank god) and was able to get my phone back it got me really scared so can anyone suggest any good stable roms? Also did i need to have unrevoked forever install? and my last question would be if i install a ROM can i install themes on it? how does it work?
I've been using Fresh 3.4. Very stable, with riptides theme... u must wipe everything before flashing a rom....

Don't let that experience scare you away. We're lucky to have a large number of quality roms, themes,etc. For our evos. Make sure you always make a nandroid/backup before flashing new stuff and you're golden. It's difficult to actually 'brick' your evo. Read, experiment, find what you like, and become a flashoholic like most others on these boards.

Myns warm two point two rls3 is by far my favorite Rom. It's smooth and very stable. Check it out. I always do a full wipe... wipe system, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, and if battery is at 100% wipe battery statts.

Yes install Unrevoked Forever. Wipe and factory reset twice, wipe cache twice and also wipe dalvik cache twice then retry rom.
Thanks for all the replies guys, i just finished Flashing CM6.1 and i installed a theme called MattedBlue, although i can't get it to look how it is in the picture lol but im getting the hang of this, and must say im becoming a flashaholic
so you got it without my help? glad to hear it.....

Stock 3.30.651.3 Rooted ROM, Where?

Hey all, so here's my situation. I've been flashing Myn's ROMS for the past month. Recently I noticed my phone going into random rebootes, especially when I start browsing the net or market. I noticed that I was running low on space on my SD card so I started removing some stuff I didn't need anymore. However, in the process I accidentally deleted the folder that contained my NAND backup when I first rooted my phone. Now, every time that I boot into recovery RA, and do a full wipe/factory reset, it only deletes my data and keeps me on Myn's latest ROM. I'm trying to go back to STOCK root 3.30.651.3 so I can start over. Can someone point me to a stock ROM that I can download and flash? What are my best options here? Thanks in advance!!

You can easily search through the Dev thread...... here is one you can flash. HTH.
I use Steelh's rom when I switch to a stock rom., it is deodexed and has a couple extras, other than its stock give it a shot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743781
Thank you for the replies. I assume I can flash these just like any other ROM? Also, once I go to one of the stock roms, I'm going to do a full wipe and flash Myns ROM. Should I download the deodexed version or does it matter? Thanks, and sorry for noob questions.

Help needed!

ive searched around everywhere and i still havent found and answer. i rooted my phone today using unrvoked, i made a nandroid back-up, and then i flashed EVERVOLV gingerbread rom. Now my phone gets stuck at the white htc screen. i tried reverting back to my nandroid back up but when i did that, it still gets stuck.
can anyone help ?
Try flashing a sense based rom

Did u wipe? Make sure you do a full wipe, then wipe cache and dalvik. After doing this flash your rom of choice again.
i think it is cwm recovery. try flashing amon_ra. even better, use the fix broken recovery in the bottom of zikronix's root thread.

[Q] CDMA USCC Desire stuck on white HTC screen! Please help!

I tried to flash the only pre-rooted 2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947481
I was s-off before I flashed this and still am after obviously. The first time I flashed it, it worked no problem. I forgot to back a few apps up, so I formated and restored a nandroid back to 2.1 - still no problems.
I get the data I need and format again, then flash the rom from above. It gets stuck at the white HTC screen every time. I have waited for over 25 minutes and it never does anything. I have made sure to format boot,system,data,cache each time and it won't work.
I have clockwork 2.5.0.9 - I am just sick right now that I'm never going to get this working.
I have also tried a second sdcard with no luck.
I have tried both roms on that page (radio included and radio not included)
Please help... anyone???
Ok..............
so maybe all it takes is a post on xda to fix it!
Just to try something different, after a failed attempt to flash the rom, I went into clockwork and only formated data/factory clear, and then flashed the rom. It worked now! Can someone at least explain what I was doing wrong?
I feel like a noob but coming from the EVO (desire is my GFs phone) I format boot,system, etc before I flash any rom.
As per my first post in that thread, a FULL wipe is needed before flashing the ROM
I had been doing a full wipe before each and every time. It seems like manually wiping each partition one by one doesn't really do anything. I'm not used to clockwork as I run a different recovery on my EVO.
I'm still unsure what happened, and why it worked this time. When it did finally work, I didn't wipe the boot and system partitions before flashing the rom. ???
Am I able to flash a newer clockwork on this bravoC ?

[Q] Need Help, Phone stuck on boot up

I have had Cyanogenmod 7 for some time now, but ever since yesterday it is stuck on the Cyanogenmod boot screen and does nothing. I can get into Clockworkmod Recovery, but I am scared to do anything past that for fear of messing something up. Do you all know something I could try to get my phone back working (It is an HTC Inspire on AT&T)
Thanks

Do you remember anything that happened/changed between when it was working and when it wasn't? S-ON or S-OFF?
Since you can get into CWM, I would just flash a new ROM. In fact, I would first dirty flash the same ROM over the one you've got first to see if that fixes it. If that doesn't work, clean flash a different ROM.

What's the easiest way of going about this, I haven't ever done anything past the initial root and flash
Just put the ROM to be flashed on the SD card, it's a zip - and then choose to "install from zip" and navigate to it in Recovery. You could find a superwipe .zip file - which cleans all caches etc - on this forum, and that will give you the assurance that your phone is squeaky clean for when you flash the ROM zip file.
Just make sure your phone is - preferably - fully charged. The only thing that can go wrong is the battery running out while flashing .
If for whatever reason it still doesn't get past the bootloop, re-flash or try flashing a different ROM.
There are plenty of really good ROMs for the HD in the ROM sub-forum, for a rock-solid alternative, look at the Android Revolution ROMs.

Download the ROM (make sure it's the exact same version as the one you first flashed) onto your computer. Get the ROM onto your phone, either by using an sdcard adapter or by booting into CWM and mounting the sdcard on the computer. In CWM, wipe cache and dalvik, then install the ROM zip. Reboot. (If you're S-ON, say so; there are a couple extra steps.)
If that doesn't work, do it again with a different ROM. Also, instead of wiping only cache and dalvik, also wipe system and data. You will lose all your installed apps and saved data.
Sorry, but I can't give exact step-by-step CWM instructions because I don't use CWM.
So all I did was reflash the exact same file that I already had on my SD card, and that worked. Cleared the data/caches and I'm back online. Thanks for the help.
