when i flash a rom and kernal do i flash the rom then boot it up then reboot into recovery and davlik and cache wipe then flash the kernal? or is there a better way?
That's what I usually do. I think devs around here recommend that you do it the way you said.
Yup, that's how I do it.
I usually flash rom then kernel immediatey after. Every once in a while I will get a hung boot screen, but then I will just reflash and do it the way you originally posted. If there are any themes or "fixes" you are trying to flash, I always boot once before flashng.

I have been trying a number of different methods to fully root my EVO, yet for the life of me, cannot get a new ROM to flash properly. Each time I try flashing a new ROM, I end up in an endless boot loop & must go back into my SD card & rename my stock ROM back to 'PC36IMG.zip' in order to get out of it. I have heard that this sometimes happens from not erasing the dalvik cache, yet I have tried that too & still no luck.
Does anyone maybe have some pointers on why I may be experiencing this issue each time? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
you rename your stock rom to pc36img.zip? What is a stock rom? Where did you ever read to do that?
I don't know what directions you read, but Something is very wrong.
Well it's A stock ROM that I picked up during the many different methods of rooting I have tried... For some reason, that has been the only way to get my phone to boot after trying to flash a ROM to it...
Most of the time if you wind up in a boot loop after flashing a new rom it's because you didn't wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache before flashing.
If you are using clockwork recovery it may be your problem. It has been reported to not complete wipes fully leading to post flash boot loops. Try amon-ra recovery.
Ok. so i searched for the problem and nothing seemed to work or be related to my issue.
I have the EV0 4G.
Its been rooted, wiped the data/cache/dalvik, flashed the rom and gapps yet it still get stuck at the boot screen.
Trying to install the Savaged-Zen ROM
My buddy, nor I can figure out whats going on here.

What rom were you coming from? What recovery are you using to flash and wipe? I may suggest flashing a format all zip before flashing the ROM. That will wipe your system and boot partition as well. Where are you getting stuck at? The splash screen or boot animation?
Format All, Install You Rom, wait for it too boot, then power down and install G-Apps afterwards if it hangs clear dalvik and cache

I am coming from the stock evo.
Was using the clockwork recovery.
I'm trying to put on savaged zen ROM.
I'm getting stuck at the boot loop after everything was wiped and then flashed.
thanks
I flashed CM7.1 and I'm stuck in a boot loop. I tried wipe cache partition, wipe date/factory reset, wiping dalvik cache and reflashing a different rom but still keep getting the boot loop. What else should I try doing to slove this ?
Could be kernel related, are you using an aosp and hopefully not a sense kernel? Need more info, what kernel, recovery are you using?
I'm using ClockworkMod recovery I'm not sure what kernel I using
Easy fix, recommend starting from new. wipe the entire phone in recovery at least 3 times, sd card also, backup sd card to computer if you need to via USb toggle, flash Cm 7.1, flash tiamat kernel, found in development section, reboot, good to go, nandroid once up and running, happy flashing
Thanks, okay I'm glad you said easy fix I'm not as worried now. I'm gonna follow your advice. Whats a roamer kernel ?
sorry swype acting weird, use tiamat kernel 4.1 something in development section
The FIRST Thing you should do is get rid of Clockwork Mod, and get Amon Ra, so you can wipe everything.
Just wiping Data/Cache/Dalvik when flashing a new ROM isn't enough.
Hey thanks again ! ! I followed your advice and got everything working again
So I have Droid incredible #1. Rooted s-off. I have before been able to flash custom roms. But I haven't tried for a while, and now I can't do any without it getting caught in a boot loop after it installs and reboots. I've tried cm7, miui, bugless beast, and probably 4 more tonight. All do it, but all let me remove battery and restore back to a backup I have. one possibility is its been so long since I've flashed a ROM, I may be on a custom ROM right now but thinking it's stock. Does it make a difference if I flash a ROM while already in another ROM? I'm not too techy but I have an idea of some stuff. It's not a big deal the phone works fine the way it is its just disappointing not being able to flash one I want. Thank you guys!
When flashing a new ROM, make sure, in recovery, you wipe data/factory reset, wipe system, and wipe boot. Then flash the ROM.
Non emergency as I still can get into recovery. Don't really care about fixing the boot loop, thought I'd try out an ics rom. Quick question. I hear about odin'ing back to el26. Is this strictly for changing ics roms or do I need to do this from an el29 rom?
If not, I'm assuming, I can just straight up odin a current rooted stock, then recovery, then a fancy rom. This correct? Maybe throw in the wipe script for good measure?
Reinstall
wipe cache, and dalvik, and try rebooting.
if he doesnt work, wipe everything, do a fresh install.

If your flashing an ICS ROM, always Odin EL26. Next boot into recovery and flash your ICS ROM of choice.
Yeah, I've tried the wiping caches thing, and still nothing.
It was themed with dark fire, but I decided to go into rom tools and play around.
I started messing with the status bar icons, and poof, boot loop/won't boot.
