cant flash any 2.2 roms...need help - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I ran into the bootloop issues while flashing cm6 nightlys, but when others were able to flash the new ones, I could not. Then I couldn't flash the snap kernels either, kept getting bootloops. So I rerooted with toasts part 1&2 and now I'm stuck on dc 3.2.3 with netarchy-toastmod 3.7.5 kernel and the 1.34 pri. I've got the latest radio. Everytime I try to flash dc3.5 I get an error writing boot at line 396 and with fresh I get error at 434. Cm6 just gives me bootloops. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

thats really weird. You may have more luck and get flamed less in the Q&A forum. Just to make sure you are wiping data/cache/davik before attempting to flashing correct?

Yeah, I've tried a bunch of times with full wipes using both clockwork and amons recoveries. Thanks for the heads up on the flaming.

Before you flash CM6 Nightly's, you should:
Flash another 2.2 Rom and then NOT do factory data/reset.

Use baked snack IMO the best rom here and everything works.

I'll try baked snack but my problem is that I can't flash froyo time... I get errors and the installation aborts

Did you try using a RUU to go back to stock and start over?

no, i haven't tried that yet but that's probably my next step. I was thinking of trying unrevoked forever and then taking the ota. maybe I'll try the 2.2 ruu since 2.2 root is out.

Recovery work perfectly fine, let me try flashing some other rom.
Also, because this might be a bad radio flash, can reflashing radio hurt?

I recommend you flash the previous version and then do a full wipe....next, flash a rom...then when that boots you can go back into recovery again and restore a nandroid if you would like....

Using Clockwork 2.5.1 (?, flashing right now) so I can't check.
Was on MYN RLS4. Flashed the bundled radio zip linked above, now in this situation. Currently, I'm flashing to RLS5 after a ADB push of the zip file. Edit: Was on BS#6 Kernel
If this doesn't work, I'll flash a deodexed stock 3.70.
Any more recommendations?
edit: Looks like I got past the HTC Evo 4G screen, just waiting for the MYN boot animation now.
edit2: I booted up, thanks for the help. At least I can rest knowing that my radio flash wasn't borked.

What happened after you flash the radio? Be specific..

Ive had the same problem today on two different evos, with two different recoveries! Both times I just booted into recovery and ran a full nandroid backup, then restarted and it stuck in white screen.
First was with amon_ra recovery. I pulled the battery after it stuck on white screen and it rebooted fine.
Second time was with clockwork. I just now pulled the battery and rebooted..... and it looks to be sticking again.
Both are running Fresh Rom. v3.5.01 I think.
Do you have the SDK installed and a usb cable? Hook up the evo, then do: "adb logcat", power on, and post the output. Note: it sounds like it is looping so watch carefully and when you see it looping hit "crtl+c" to stop logcat.
Do this! download this to you sd card http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PXIYUNSY than boot into bottloader, let the phone search for the file update and this should get you up and running. The problem doing what you did is that that works when a different kernel not htc kernel.
good lookin out

What's the purpose of doing this? Just like a RUU, right?
yes! But this should give you all that you are looking for, is much easier.trust me!
You will not Loose Root.
You lucky son of a gun, my old evo wouldn't even not into recovery. Just bootloader. After stressing out for hours trying to fix it I finally got a replacement
The same thing happened to me and your link worked like a charm. I was just wondering if after I did this would I still be able to try and flash a different rom? or am I stuck with this one? I am just wondering....as you can see Im pretty new to the rooting game.
Basically, if you update your radios, you have to also update your rom to 3.70 build otherwise the phone won't get pass the bootanimation screen. Normally, you would update the rom then update the radios. Also, to nandroid or flash back to 3.30 build, you have to downgrade the radios back to the version used for 3.30. I was stuck on bootloop with new radios if I flashed any rom below 3.70, but downgrading the radios to previous version allowed for 3.30 nandroid restores.
Ok thank you a bunch for the info!! you were a life saver lol
Same Questions
Ok so I did what you said above and loaded that file onto sd card and went into bootloader if worked and i managed to get into recovery and flashed fresh and got the phone booted all way but I want Warm two point two so i flashed that version 4 and it wont go past the white HTC screen what can I do

[Q]Unable to flash senseless revolution?

Hey guys i finally got a working dinc (apparently they lied about letting me get a different handset because htc has never reported random reboots as an issue), and rooted and dropped jagerrom on it just to try it. and I dont like it, at all. So i wanna go back to senseless rEVOlution, but no matter what i try it just wont flash. I've tried changing roms and going from there, doing it through rom manager, doing it through recovery, even un/re-rooting and everything. I just want a rom that i like so tired of phone problems zzz
What do you mean it won't flash? Are you getting an error message? Is the install going through but it does nothing? Can you be a bit more specific?
Ummm if I try it straight through recovery it just says install can not be completed and another line, I'd have to try it to check. If I go through rom manager the install seems to go fine but then it boots back into jager ROM

Go back to 2.5.1.2. 3.0.0.5 had a bunch of issues/problems. This is probably one of the reasons that nothing is happening after you flash it. Revert to 2.5.1.2, wipe, then flash the rom you want. Everything should be good after that.
Then if you want, you can upgrade it to 3.0.0.8, I haven't heard of any problems with that one.
kk sweet ill do that.
PS does battery level matter when flashing stuff? a friend told me that if u flash on anything besides full it'll mess with your battery life

No, it doesn't matter, just don't do it when the battery level is low. You don't want the phone to power off in the middle of flashing a rom, that makes your phone a nice paperweight.
ah okay sweet. apparently something about senseless revolution wont let me flash with 3.X.X.X recovery. said something about a script not being compatible with gingerbread recoveries.
and apparently apply sdcard/update.zip didnt flash the new recovery, hmm. oh well ill figure it out.
are there any ACTUAL gingerbread roms for the dINC and not just themeed ones? all the ones I see say GB but then in the topic it just is like "Themed gingerbread whatever"

Just reflash the recovery through rom manager. Just scroll to the bottom, All ClockworkMod Recoveries, and pick 2.5.1.2.
For GB CM7 is basically a stock GB rom with a bunch of customizations that you can choose to make. Its the most stable GB rom right now IMO.
The lowest it has is 3.0.0.2 and doesnt let me scroll

Just go here ( http://dougpiston.com/?page_id=85 ) and download the 2.5.1.2 recovery. Be sure to check that your MD5 sum is the same as the one provided before flashing.

Cm7 to synergy?

I'm running cm7, and I really want synergy god mode. I know that cm7 is an also based rom and synergy is a sense based rom,so how do I get it to flash. Do I need to flash a different radio. I tried different ways and still no success. I'm kind of a rookie to the rom situation and would greatly appreciate any assistance. If I do have to flash a radio,which one and how do I do so. What Im really looking for is the latest synergy plus god mode and also the carousel zip addon for the rom. Somebody anybody. Please help. Thanks.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
no radio update necessary....a good wipe though is please tell me youre using RA recovery? godmode maybe your problem as well as it dont play well with alot of phones...
You MUST use Amon Ra recovery in order to have godmode work properly. Make sure you have the latest version (v2.3) of Amon Ra installed. Then reflash the ROM and try it out.

I believe you mean AOSP rom, there is no such thing as an "also rom".
so how do I get it to flash
Click to expand...

Flashing the regular synergy rom is done just how you flash ANY rom, put the rom zip on your sd card, reboot to recovery, make a Nandroid backup, wipe everything, and flash.
If you are wanting to try God Mode however, that is completely different, you need to follow the directions on the SYnergy thread very carefully.
Do I need to flash a different radio.

That depends, what radio version are you on now? It's always a good idea to flash the latest radio if there is an update available.
I tried different ways and still no success.

Again, the Synergy thread has all the info you need. However, if you are this much of a noob, you might just want to try flashing the regular Synergy rom first. No offense, we were all noob's at one point, but God Mode is pretty complicated to get working correctly for someone who is still learning.
You flash synergy + godmode the same way you flash the regular synergy ROM. There is nothing complicated about it.

[Q] I am really stupid at this stuff, I need your help

Before I get ravaged, I have wandered from thread to thread to thread trying to find answers and unfortunately, everyone's got a different situation, so I'll try and sum it up here.
I have an Epic 4G that I threw the Samsung/Sprint Froyo ROM on as soon as it as available, after which I rooted it, installed CWM 2.5 and called it a day. I've been wanting to upgrade to Gingerbread, but the official EI22 ROM is obviously giving me issues because of root, so I decide, hey, I can try adding on some other ROMs and finally get into this thing.
Now somewhere amongst all this, I have CWM 5.0 installed and my phone is running both older and newer versions and only 5.0 is letting me restore in case I screw up.
So I grab the Gingerbread restore and after wiping my data, restore it. Gets stuck on Samsung logo. Try this a few times, give up, reload my original Froyo image (only after coaxing CWM to load up 5.0 instead of 2.5). Try again tonight with ACS ICS ROM and 2.5, still stuck at Samsung logo. Wipe and try again, same thing.
So my question is: A) would it be better to go back to Odin and try again despite a stable Froyo image, B) how can I eliminate one of these CWMs, C) has anyone else had these issues?
seems like you did a whole bunch of things... probably best to start clean.. odin to stock froyo. then you probably want to root it from there. after that, you can flash the latest cwm, then latest gingerbread rom
when you installed cwm5, did u flash through rom manager or through recovery?
I honestly just downloaded CWM from Marketplace and I found out how I was able to access it: it's a zip in my Clockwork folder. Once I "install" that, it loads into 5.0 and that's how I've been able to work, but it never updates CWM, I have to keep having to boot into it from the zip.
well u have cwm2,5 u said... try booting into cw, (three fingers) and flash the zip. but maybe you can try downloading cwm from the official cwm thread and flash that zip just to be sure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357655
Yeah, every time I try to flash that ZIP, it just opens up 5.0 instead. I'll have to try doing it from scratch.
isnt that what u want??? 5.x.x.x??

Yeah, definitely.
Okay, Odin'ed back to stock Froyo and rooted, loaded on ACS Recovery. This whole process has killed my battery, so I'm going to recharge before trying to load up a new ROM. It seems like it should be easy from here on out...
You should just start over with a fresh install.
Here are the steps. I made this list before CWM 5 was released, but you can get the CWM 5 ODIN .tar file from that thread which was linked a few posts up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19444784&postcount=93
Yeah I ODINed back with ACS Recovery and now I'm running ACS ICS, which is sooooooo awesome. I think I was afraid about having to ODIN back to stock and losing everything. Now I should still have the Froyo image on there, can't I just run between this new one and that?
Thanks, all!
What do you mean by you have acs ics and still have the froyo image?? are you dual booting
Acs ics = rom.

after rebooting my phone keeps boot looping

Rooted and flashed rom. now when I reboot, it keeps boot looping. I went back to stock, still boot looping. any ideas?
Try flashing the newest radio. I think I read somewhere on here that older radios were causing a boot loop on some of the newer sense roms, although I'm not sure why it's still happening after going back to stock. I'm assuming you wiped data/cache before installing these? Anyway, try flashing the latest radio, worth a shot.

Yep, run revolutionary again. Once you start it, revo will say something like "what do you think you're doing you're already s-off blah blah" then it asks if you want to install CWM. Hit y and it will download to your phone/install.
Can I flash the newest radio without cwm? when I did the update, and had to activate my phone, it did the bootloop. not sure if i'm screwed at this point.
answered my own question. thanks all for your help!!
