[Q] problem flahsing roms!!!!

i was doing fine for about a month now( i'm new) and recently i just flashed from cm6 to bakedsnack1.0 the past week my phone was showing the low storage on device and was running really slow. response times were about 4 seconds per digit dialed for a telephone number.
so i tried to reflash that rom. unfortunately it got stuck in a bootloop. so i proceeded in reflahsing kernals, wimax and radio. now it will get out of bootloop however it does the "welcome to bakedsnack" goes to setup then freezes for 10 seconds then does the htc evo4g white screen, "welcome to bakedsnack" and this process repeats over and over.
can someone help me either fix this with custom roms and keeping full root. or cans omeone teach me how to make this phone 100% brand new. as if i just opened it out of the box from sprint. thatw ay i can proceed to start all over.
P.S. i have no knowledge of adb.

bump. pleasE?

Do you have a nand backup

Did you wipe between flashes?
Maybe that will help.

i tried going back to cm6 and it was on the blue x lookin screen for 45 minutes.

Dalvik does that to me too on clockwork but I've never had issues. Try to put a stock rooted Rom on the SD card and do it again.

Also, you can just put your card into your computer and put the Rom on it that way if you need to.

If you are stuck in a bootloop, use the Clear Storage option in the bootloader menu, then in Recovery, clear the caches and flash your rom.

Try flashing RA recovery and are you nand unlocked?

Amon RA recovery
I was having some problems flashing roms at one time as well. Turned out to be a corrupted sd card that wouldn't mount. Try to take out the sd card and place it in a card reader. Save the files on there to you desktop and reformat the card. Place it back in the phone and reboot. This may work for you. And the Amon RA recovery and directions are in the Development section of the EVO forum. Most of the time it's on the first page. Good luck.

Nandroid and bootloops.

I am using the newest amon recovery. Everytime i try to restore a nandroid i save it gives me bootloops. I normally wipe everything twice and flash caulks format all zip. Is there something im doing wrong?

Is your usb plugged in while either backing up or restoring? Have you tried loading a different version of amon?

U need to flash a kernel, nandroid dont save that
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

so your are saying flash the kernal first then restore nandroid restore?

Okay I just tried what you said and I still got bootloops. And my USB is never plugged in when i do a nandroid.

Something in the backup is giving you bootloops. Try completely wiping, the flashing a new rom.

You can review the recovery log too.

Yes it does. Likely the issue is that a wipe is not being performed before restoring the data in the nandroid.

Garbage in, garbage out.
If your device was unstable when you backed it up, it will continue to be so after you restore.
Try a different Sd card. If your device continues to be unholy, revert back to a stock based rom or even RUU. If your issues persist, you likely have a hardware fault.
Basic troubleshooting 101...

Nandroids dont replace the kernel, do the nand then flash the kernel

Man I'm having bootloops all the time now ever since i updated the new combo radios and flashed myn RLS5. On sense with rls5 my phone reboots a lot kinda and with AOSP roms like MIUI my phone reboots like every 24 hours and goes on a bootloop. I can't figure out what's going on. Tried messaging some devs but they don't answer me

When you switched roms, did you do a format data/calkulin's format all? doing either or should fix your bootlooping problem.

I always use caulkins format all. Still get bootloops. Wipe everything, still get bootloops. I dont know what to somwtumes except star all over from scratch.

Same here bro. I've tried 3 different roms this weekend thinking it was just miui causing the problem but I actually got bootloops on all of them . This is weird
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

"Wipe everything", is that a factory restore/reset?
Cause that's what I do (factory reset).
Then the nand restore............

Are you flashing kernels over that?

Nandroid backup problems

Hopefully someone can help me out. I'm running Myns Warm two point two rls5 I was able to perform a backup and restore with no issues. I recently flashed netarchy-toastmod-4.2.1-cfs-bfq-havs-more-smartass-universal-signed kernal, since then I have not been able to perform a backup. Out just seems to get caught in a loop. I started a backup last night and this morning the phone was still backing up. Any suggestions?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Do you receive any errors when backing up? Or is it just taking an obnoxiously long time?
Also, do you know what recovery (and version) you're using by any chance?

I don't receive any errors, it just never completes. How do I find out witch version I have?

Are you using ROM Manager?
Otherwise, hold the power button down until the option to choose recovery opens. Once you boot into recovery, your version should be displayed at the top.
You could also remove and replace the battery, and then press and hold the power button and volume down button at the same moment. After you release, wait a moment and you will find the hboot screen. Press the volume down button until you reach recovery, and then press the power button to boot into recovery.

If you have a previous restore point, I would think about a wipe data/factory reset/wipe cache/wipe dalvik, and then restore your previous backup.

Ok, so I tried doing a full wipe restored from previous restore point. Reflashed kernal, went to do backup again and got the same results it just keeps on hanging up. Any other suggestions?

I presume there were no issues with the stock kernel?
You could flash one of the four other alternative kernels to determine if those settle in.

What recovery was that anyway?
You could consider flashing an older version of Clockwork or flashing Anon RA, and then flashing the alternate kernal.

Correct there was no issue with the stock kernal, I believe I'm using Amon Ra 2.2.1. I guess I could try another kernal. I know all kernals react differently to different phones, but does anyone have experience with kings kernals?

Problem solved with new kernal, thanks for the help!

Vibrates Twice While Booting

So I Googled around and found nothing about this. My G2 has begun vibrating twice when it boots on the white HTC screen. I'm curious as to what is causing this. It didn't start until CM7 Stable. I flashed Virtuous and it did the same thing. Any ideas?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

I had this problem when I flashed a new radio... I cleared my cache and dalvik cache through clockwork and the problem went away by itself
shouldn't hurt to try

I have the same double vibration. It all started on CM7. The only way I found I was able to get rid of it was to go to the stock rom and wipe cache, dalvik cache, and fix permissions. Then reinstall CM7.
I have the same double vibration now on CM7 since wiping the EFS partition for the GPS fix. I have tried wiping caches (including dalvik) and fixing permissions and it hasnt gone away. Too lazy to go back to the stock rom and "fixing" it.

1 do a nandroid backup
2 titanium backup (all apps + user data)
3 factory reset phone
4 download whatever rom you like (cm-7 stable for me) and flash
5 restore apps with tibackup (yay!)
no more double vibrations. it's the only thing that worked for me.

Hmm, I shall try these options. Thanks.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App

I'm having the same double vibration as well, and I wiped the EFS partition using that new SuperWipeG2 tool. Is there anything to be concerned about with the double vibration? Any idea what it means?

Well, I used SuperWipe+ and installed Virtuous. The double vibration went away when I rebooted and stuff. But when I put CM7 back on it came back. Oh well, I can live with it.

What's the big deal with the double vibration? I have it, nd everything else works fine

When on a phone call phone wont hang up!!!!

Driving me crazy. Phone wont hang up!!! It reads 0.00 with green phone symbol. It stays like that for over a min then hangs up. Any ideas? I running cm7 nightys.?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

1st step, did you do anything before this happened? 2nd step, reflash the rom, remembering to wipe everything first.

definitely a weird 'one-off' issue with your cell. But as everyone has already said, wipe and wipe everything. Use VRwipe or something similar and I HIGHLY recommend Amon RA Recovery as apposed to Clockwork recovery (in my opinion) as I have had zero issues after using RA.
Hope that helps
