I have been rooted for a while now and had bakedsnack 1.4 installed for about 2 months now. Everything was stable until a few days ago when it started rebooting randomly then much more often so I decided it was to time to update...went for Ava v9. After reseting factory defaults, wiping cache, wiping dalvik, I installed the rom. Immediate infinite loop reboot, tried this rom 2 more times then the newest baked snack then the plain rooted stock. All are infinite reboot loops...I have wiped numerous times now and can't seem to find a problem, I have updated my radios and everything trying to fix this to no avail. I could really use some help...here is a catlog of my bootup and 2 of the infinite reboots after a clean install.

Have you guys tried running a stock PC36IMG? That is the first thing I would try if I was in your shoes.

devs, i'm not sure you get how serious this problem is, and how badly it needs fixing. i reboot any time i open a network connection. for example, when i boot up, even before htc sense loads, i reboot. i cannot stay up for more than 15 seconds. i have forcefully deleted all apps that even remotely might require data, and still somehow, i sync to my voicemail. boot up, pull down lock, reboot, stuck. plz help me i want to be able to use my phone.

Have you been able to get it downloaded? I just tried to dl it from megaupload again and it worked no prob.
Downloading it now, will try it out. Thanks!
download went fine. about to push and flash. wish me luck... i just want my evo back waaaaa
flashed it. first try, boot failed because of a pu fail. stuck in bootloader. tried agian, and worked fine. my phone is rebooting as we speak. lets see if it worked...
and the big question: should i stick with ava v9 or what other rom should i try? i have never tried fresh, and cyanogen is too unstable for me. i have pretty much only tried ava, omj, and cm. plz recommend the must tries etc. i'm not asking you to choose for me, just tell me what to try.

SHOOT IT STILL WONT WORK! i booted just fine, and was able to set up just the google account. the second i hit finish for the google account only and it tried to sync contacts, reboot. please help me knowledgable people!

I had the EXACT same problem as you. Was the PU fail next to the boot line during the update? If so, then I think you've got bad blocks in your boot partition and I hate to say it but you might not be able to flash any custom kernels anymore. Once I finally got mine booted, the only kernel that worked was a stock one. I was able to flash Fresh, but HAD to keep the kernel stock. I ended up calling Asurion and filed a claim. Got my new evo today and am having no issues.

That sucks man. Do what I did, file an insurance claim and get a new phone. They ship it out next day.
same problem I'm having:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808280
ok i think i finally have it. but now, what rom to use? please tell me. i might be going with the cm nightlies. but plz give your opinion. thanks for the stock pc...zip. tweetqit, thanks for letting me overrun your thread..ha
TO GET IT TO WORK, ONCE YOU ARE STUCK IN BOOTLOADER, JUST RE-UPDATE AND THE BAD BLOCKS WILL GO AWAY. OR AT LEAST THAT WORKED FOR ME.
Yup, failed for me the first time but worked the second. My phone was never the same after I went through that ordeal. No custom kernels worked, terribly sluggish performance, constant reboots. That's why I said f*ck it and had Asurion send me a new one.

what'd you do? what exactly did it fix? everything?
On first try, boot: fail-PU. I guess this is a common problem? pretty lame. Will post after I try again.
Ok so now that, that failed..how do I try it again? when I reboot into recovery it just checks the PC36IMG.ZIP and dumps me back to the bootloader without asking me to install it...
I've done what I think dkdude36 did [install PC36IMG] and did get PU fail, and now i'm stuck in HBOOT/BOOTLOADER as expected. Now I only have the few options in bootloader and don't know what to do. I've rebooted and gotten the bootloops then wen't back into bootloader and it loads PC36IMG but it doesn't give me the option to update again. Am I supposed to do something in order for it to give me that option again? If so, what? As of now, I'm stuck and am bricked (hopefully not permanently).

Ok since this the third time typing this here is the condensed version. Running myns rls5 ontop of toastmod kernel listed on same page. Initial flash went ok minus the Flickr screen, distortion lines laterally, horrendous battery life, weird boot process...osmonitor I had to install due to interference with the OS. Myns crashed a lot with in first flash. Also some one dumb down how to use an irc app cuz I'm also lost....also what IM service can I get hold of u guys on cuz I hate forums.... too impatient
Ok no help? Not even some direction for irc where I can get some real help? Well just flashed a diff kernel thanks for the help guys. The Droid community has been a very unhelpful one compared to iPhone....
(irc help would be awesome still since I now have some help with main issue- I enter all the correct info into the app but it shows nothin. I've tried several to no avail. I appreciate the help) second I've ran into more pretentious ppl in these forums for Android then others no offense to the good guys but just my exp. It was brash to say that in this post tho. Thank you guys again for the ones willing.
That's because even the biggest idiot can work an iphone.

Patience dude. I didn't catch it, but what exact kernel are you using, net has a lot of em, the one in the OP of myn's thread you mean? What recovery(and version of that recovery, some versions of clockwork floating around that have some bugs i think) did you use to flash the rom? what radio version and pri version do you currently have installed? Which ROM were you coming from, and did you do a full wipe(data, cache, davlik cache) before flashing it? I have never experienced anything like you are describing whilst using Myn's, his ROMs have been solid. Give a little more info and surely we can help you get running smoothly again.
thanks for the reply heres the details...myn's rls5, net toast havs more, ra_superson
Sincerely thanks for your reply. Typing this on my evo as my screen tears on and off. Running ra_supersonic(newest ver.) With Myns rls5 on net havs more smartass as listed on page. Updated to current radio and pri as listed on his post. Only dalvik and cache wiped not data. Flashed
Hulu and data governor hacks...CPU is only overlooked to 1190 in smartass and can't go any higher. This was my first root and flash so came from stock 2.2 on 3.30 ver. Have noticed avg using temp is around 103 off charger, cameras broke, my CPU in system panel says I'm running 100% continuously. Did a fast reboot , norm reboot, and still doin it. I had diminished battery life from the get go, I understand battery life per clockspeed relation but have underclocked profile to try to assist, which only cause frustration when coming back from lock screen and its still tryin to switch profile. Lagged the phone nearly locked out several times cuz it couldn't keep up with my fingers.0003 hw....I think that's it. Thank you again
Looks like we're running nearly the same setup, minus my ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery. I have attempted the stock kernel furnished in the Rom zip but since it didn't offer overclock I switched to net havs more smartass. I do the dalvik and cache wipe each time.

Not trying to be a smart ass but do you realize that by insulting us will not get you any help? Rhetorical question
From reading what you jus stated the obvious problem is you did not do a FULL WIPE as you should do when flashing between roms.
Also next time please be patient as those like myself who browse through this section to help impatient ppl like your self, do actually have a life outside of xda. Its been a big snow storm in the southeast so most like myself included are outside enjoying the snow!
DO A FULL WIPE THEN REPORT BACK!
Gonna ignore the soap box chatter...
Obviously know I didn't do full wipe.....just gonna wait for other poster
gotta do a full wipe if you are switching between roms

also make sure whatever kernel your using works with the 3.70 based roms, as many dont.

Sorry you feel that way but since i have had the hero, on every thread about a rom says wipe all! This must be a joke for someone as rude as yourself to come on here and disrespect those who are trying to help.
Next time you decide to flash a rom remember to do a full wipe because inside the data partition is files for the particular rom, if you dont wipe, the new files will just over lay but not delete the old one. This will cause conflicting issues within the files as the phone tries to do both at the same time.
Screen tearing and the "jigglies" as I like to call it have always come from kernels - in my experience. And just because someone might have the same set up as you, the way it affects your phone ccan be quite different as you are running different apps, different settings, etc.
First thing I would do if I were you is to freeze any kernel govenor you are using - no setcpu, no secreen off profile, no set on boot, no os monitor govenor, no nothing like that. You don't want want any of that going on when you flash a new rom or kernel.
I know you don't want to do a full data wipe so let's see if we cna get you going without that. I used to HATE doing data wipes, I don't mind so much now because I've learned that trobule shooting can frequently take longer than just doing a data wipe.
I would say #1 make sure you are using AMON RA. Power button-reboot-recovery. Wipe cache at least twice, wipe dalvik at least twice. Now JUST flash the rom (you've already said your radios are updated so you wont have a problem with this). Let the phone boot up and give it time to settle in. You wont have any screan tearing. Now you're running a completely stock Myn's rls5 rom. Check some stuff out, make sure your basic settings are good, make sure your 4g is not scanning, etc.
Make a nandroid of this and keep it.
Now start making changes if you'd like. Flash a different font, flash a different kernel, etc. But leave all the governors OFF until you have a kernel that you KNOW will run ok on your phone. For example - I can run 2 of ziggy's kernels but the others don't work for me. I can run a few of net's kernels, but many don't work for me.
So my basic suggestion is to make sure you get a stable, stock Myn's rls5 on your phone before you mod it. If you can't get that, then yes - you might want to wipe data. Doing a batch backup in Titanium is really easy and it makes restoring very easy as well. It's our own customizing that is time consuming because we are all probably very picky (and proud!) of our beautiful phones.
Thanks for the helpful info from ALL that posted. I understand the risk of the non entire wipe, nandroid is safe of original stock Rom but not of new one. After tinkering with setcpu I've gotten more consistent stability. I know I will reflash with an entire data wipe here soon to see results. Running ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery.
I've made list of check point when I test some new Roms and kernels. I have some more question on backing up user info from backed up apps but Im sure ill find it on here.
Now that my system is stable for the time being, some one mind help me setup irc? And also has anyone issues with camera breaking with this Rom or kernel? I should wait to wipe entirely to see if it fixes, but I'd rather not waste my time with this Rom or kernel if the camera won't work. Love everything else about this Rom, need to learn more about the kernel to praise it. Ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery i like also.

You're welcome. I am late at getting back to this post, but yea. Definitely. As everyone else has suggested, you have to do a full wipe when changing ROMS. Only time you could get away with just wiping davlik cache and cache is when upgrading the same rom ( like from rls 3 to rls 4, and rls to rls 5), but even then, it doesn't always work. Full wipe is always recommended. I would also recommend downloading your apps one at a time from the market, and adding your mods one at a time, make sure everything is stable after each flash. Good luck.
QUOTE And also has anyone issues with camera breaking with this Rom or kernel? I should wait to wipe entirely to see if it fixes, but I'd rather not waste my time with this Rom or kernel if the camera won't work. Love everything else about this Rom, need to learn more about the kernel to praise it QUOTE
If your phone is the newer hardware (late 003 or 004), you can only use the stock kernel, or a kernel based off stock for the camera to work. That would be htc #15. I believe Net's 4.3 kernels are based off of that. I am also pretty sure that Net explains that in his kernel thread in the development section.
Thanks guys did the full wipe and reflashed, working ok except SD file permissions are screwed up now. I go to test camera and it says insufficient file permissions when I take a pic. I go to check in astro, I see all the file that are supposed to be there but no editing; it still shows rw. Did not have card in when full wipe was completed would that effect it? Any help? Haven't attempted another SD card. I hope this isn't the second SD card to be trashed during my rooting process. Atleast I can still see that there r files on there. Thanks for the help.
Also any help gettin set with irc? Still having a horrible time trying to work with it....it seems so simple.... so 0003hw are stuck with stock roms or ones based off them...I believe nets kernel on that page was. I will test it out and let you know. I just need to know about the SD card problem. Thanks again guys.
Theres been lots of issues with 3.70 based roms. I always stick to lower versions..usually 3.30 and have no problems.. i also hace seen alot of people having battery problems on 3.70 after updating to 1.90 pri. They usually downgrade to pri 1.77 and there good.....

This isn't true, the problem is ALWAYS the kernel. I'm running myn rls5 and mikfroyo 4.3 with an SBC #15 v7 kernel (i'll edit post and add the link) and I have had zero issues except I can't download MMS messages on 4g on mikfroyo.

Okay, this process will 100% work. It's the one I've been using since my lowly mytouch slide oh so many months ago.
*before you do this, make sure you have backups of your nandroid and your rsa keys. I'll edit post and give you links on how to back up your rsa keys*
RSA Key back-up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887900 ...since you're rooted you can go straight to the part where it says "if you're rooted do this.."
1. First you need to fix the sd card. Create a folder on your computer desktop and call it "my sd card". Plug your phone into the computer and select "disk drive". Next you're going to copy EVERYTHING from the sd card and place it in the folder on the desktop (and dude I mean everything! AS IS, DON'T CHANGE ANY NAMES). Then, you're going to unhook your phone, go to settings>sd and phone storage. Then you're going to format your sd card. Yes, do it, but make sure you have EVERYTHING backed up first. After that's done, plug your phone back in, select disk drive and copy everything from your "my sd card" folder on your computer and put it back onto your sd card.
*phew*
Okay now that the sd problem is fixed, here's how you fix the rest. You see, when you upgrade your PRI to 1.90 and your radio, etc etc you gotta update the kernel to a version that's 1.90 supported. I'll edit post and post a link to where you can find one OR you can just use the kernel that's included with myn's rom because it WILL WORK. *edit* the kernel I'm using has been taken down because of the witch hunt against SBC kernels. So for now, just stick with stock. It works just fine.
Anyway.
Steps to getting myn working perfectly.
*before starting, re-download myn rls5 in case the screen flickering was caused by a corrupted download*
1. Download Titanium Back-up from the market. Back up all the apps you want to keep (basically, anything you downloaded from the market as you'll get facebook, sense widgets, etc back). You can do this while you re-download the rom.
2. Make a nandroid back-up in case something goes seriously wrong. A rom that flickers your screen is better than a brick.
3. Once that back-up is done, reboot into recovery. Once there, you're going to WIPE EVERYTHING. Full data, cache and dalvik wipe. Yes, do it. There is no other option.
3. Flash myn's rom. Let it go all the way through. Do NOT flash a new kernel until you've found one that's 3.70 compatible and works with PRI 1.90. Myn rls5 is designed to work with the newest updates (which means a #15 kernel, like the one that came stock).
4. Reboot. If the screen is still flickering, then at this point it's a hardware problem. Flash back to stock, unroot and go get a new one. If it works fine, re-download titanium back-up from the market and restore all your apps. From there it's just putting your widgets back on your home screen.
From here, you can search the forums for a kernel that works with the newest updates. If you read them, they'll tell you what they're compatible with. Remember do NOT use an AOSP kernel with a SENSE rom, that's just spells IDIOCY. Until you find a kernel that works, stick with the one that came with the rom because everyone knows that one works.
I hope this helps. As for the IRC chat, not all the experts are on all the time. If no one is online that can help when you get one, try getting a few hours earlier or a few hours later.
I'm coming from CM 6.1.2 and have done everything correctly to a freaking T. Has anyone had any problems getting stuck at the Splash screen and getting passed it? I can flash any other Sense ROM just fine but Myn's always gets hung at the Splash screen no matter what radios, kernels, PRIs, etc... Getting frustrated. I spent like six hours yesterday trying to get it to boot.
What recovery are you using? and do you have the newest update from Sprint (radio, prl)
Newest RA... I have every new radio, PRI, NV, Wimax...
Did you wipe everything more than once before flashing the Rom?
I wiped everything via Amon's built in options and Calk's format all .zip.
Did you have any problems updating with Calk's format all .zip?
As long as I'm flashing something other that RLS5 it works great.
Re- download Myn's Rom again. I know it sounds crazy but the download must be corrupted.
Done that, too... It flashed fine on my friends newly rooted EVO. I know that download wasn't bad because we used the same one. Thinking about running an RUU and starting over.
The best one will be the Sprint lover ROM as pcm36img.
I'd have to use that since I run Linux... don't know of an RUU that works on Ubuntu.
okay. report back if it work for you.
DO you know of a root method I won't need to hook my phone up to my computer with? I kinda don't have my cable with me at the office.
rom is already rooted.you can download it to you're phone, weather you are on wifi or 3g/4g.
And are you rooted?
No... if I run a RUU I won't be rooted anymore.
Nope! You will not loose root!.try it out, thank me later
I don't see what harm it could cause... I'm DLing the one you posted in that other thread.
Report back.
Make sure that the file is a pcm36 img.zip and that its in you're sd card.

I've been using rls 4 & I must say this is 100 times better then stock or any other roms that I looked @ .
I want to update to rls 5
I keep on reading about ppl having problems doing that , I see ppl having problems with flashing the radios .
Anyone know a safe way to update ? It looks so sweet .
Is everything working fine on this Rom ?

The people having problems most likely aren't following the directions properly.
There's only 4 or 5 steps listed. Backup, wipe data/cache/dalvik (once is good enough here, I always get a laugh when I see "wipe 3X each!"), flash ROM, flash radios, reboot, let the phone sit while the radio update is applied (EVO with green arrow screen), and reboot.
Don't panic, let the phone do it's thing. It will probably stay on the update and blank HTC screens a few minutes. THESE MINUTES APPEAR LONGER WHEN YOU STARE AT THE PHONE, so go do something else and take deep breaths.
I always update a couple days after the official release to make sure people aren't having legitimate problems, so I've been on RLS 5 for a week or so and loving it.

Step 1: DO NOT use Clockwork.
Step 2: Use the FormatAll.zip (search for it)
Step 3: Flash the Combo Radio/PRI/NV (search for it)
Step 4: After you flash, it will ask you to reboot, let it reboot
Step 5: When it comes back, you will see a gray screen with some sort of graphic. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE. Let it be. It might take a while for the items to be updated. Come back in 15-20 min (usually takes like 5). Your phone will reboot automatically into recovery when it's done.
Step 5: Flash RLS5
Step 6: Enjoy.
it was very easy. im about a month old on the android and about a week into just playing with it. i decided to root and flash just a few days ago and it was real easy. i used unrevoked 3.0. just follow the steps listed. you cant go wrong.

Clockwork has a history of not wiping correctly. And the overwhelming problems people have had with it made me switch. I had clockwork when i first rooted too. But after all the problems i've see, i made the switch. Also, switching is painless (with Rom Manager) so why not just use a proven product?
Any clue where I can find those files ?

I thought Rom Manager only worked with Clockworkmod though?

Step 1: DO NOT use Clockwork.
Step 2: Use the FormatAll.zip (search for it)
Step 3: Flash the Combo Radio/PRI/NV (search for it)
Step 4: After you flash, it will ask you to reboot, let it reboot
Step 5: When it comes back, you will see a gray screen with some sort of graphic. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE. Let it be. It might take a while for the items to be updated. Come back in 15-20 min (usually takes like 5). Your phone will reboot automatically into recovery when it's done.
Step 5: Flash RLS5
Step 6: Enjoy.

None of this was on Myn's OP...
I just flashed it (yes I wiped) & I'm stuck getting some kind of 67 Error. Can I use my backup & flash it this way to fix it? I dont want to get into a deeper hole.
Thx ;-)

Yea. u should be able to back up and redo it. Make sure your downloads aren't corrupt.
So I've been using Warm Z TwoPointTwo Rom for the past couple of weeks. Yesterday, I felt like switching Roms and so I decided to switch to Sprint Lovers Rom. Anyway, I did everything to install it (Go to recovery, clear data/cache/davlink) and then installed from zip. It booted up fine and everything. Then, I installed AdFree and did that install host files (something like that) and it told me to reboot for something, and so I did.
When I reboot... the screen stayed on the (HTC Evo 4G) AKA Boot Loop. I when through everything again (clearing and installing) and it, once again, started up fine. I noticed I didn't have a backup for my phone numbers so I restored back to Warm Z to back up my numbers, then tried going back to Sprint Lovers... once again it was boot loop.
I went to Google looking for an answer and the only thing I could find was that it will boot loop if you're on a Verizon PRL? Is that my problem? Because I'm on a Verizon PRL? Also for the Sprint Lovers Rom, I used the "standalonerom" not the one with the HBoot, PRL, WiiMax, etc. because I didn't want to lose my PRL and because I can't use the ##775# thing on Sprint Lovers Rom.
Can someone help me? Sorry for the long read.
Yes, that is a possibility. If you need to change PRLs to make it stop the looping, would you do so? Also, could you not re-perform the steps you took to get Verizon's PRL after you've taken care of the bootlooping issue? I keep reading where people have wiped the cache, dalvik and data when changing roms. Depending on how your device is set up, you may need to wipe more than that. Personally, I wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card itself using amon RA recovery. Try doing that and then see if you still have the looping issue.

Well I would but the EPST won't let me change PRLs. Could i just flash a prl?

What rom did you use "prior to" Warm Z? Did you acquire the Verizon PRL while using Warm Z or prior to using Warm Z?

How long did you wait for the HTC screen to clear?

Again, how long did you wait for the HTC screen to clear. Did you appear to hang at the HTC screen or did your phone keep looping back to the HTC screen?

How do you know you're on a Verizon PRL?

Why did you opt for the standalone version? Do you already have the updated baseband, PRI, NV & WiMax stuff? Did you happen to flash a custom kernel?
