I haven't found any solution with this. About 3 or 4 weeks ago my Evo went crazy so I rebooted and was missing many apps. I did a nand to another sense rom and every time I tried to install an app (either download or from sd card) it would reboot. The odd thing is, it only does it with sense roms. I can use CM 6 or 7 fine and install whatever I want. I was originally one Myn's rls5, I also tried the Fresh roms. I have non clue what's causing this, tried googling and all said clear the market cache or try an older market, which I've done both. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
tricky one. have you tried flashing a stock sense rom, and seeing how things work for you there?
Don't use a backup. Flash a sense ROM and install everything manually.

I haven't tried a stock rom yet, once I get things back up I'll find one and try it.

I can't install anything. period. as soon as I try to install any apk from my sd card or anything from the market that doesn't come installed in the rom, as soon as it "finishes" the installation part it will reboot, but not a full reboot, it will go out to the boot screen (but not all the way to the htc screen).
Since going from AOSP to Sense what was your procedure for flashing? Just want to make sure your starting with a clean slate.
- What steps to you take?
- Full wipe? Data, cache, sd-ext?
- SD format?
The more info you can give the better and maybe we can help you track it down.
Ive done the standard full wipe, data, cache, dalvik. I do that everytime between roms. Not sure what the ext does and in haven't formatted my sd card since then

Update - I flashed the stock rooted 3.70 and was able to install. This was after formatting my sd card. Then tried to flash Myn's rls5 again and had the same problems as before. Only difference is with the 3.70 I forgot the flash the radios, but still had a fine signal. I flashed the radio updates with Myn's. Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
At this point all I can think of doing is unrooting your device and getting it completely back to stock, then try re-rooting and make a nandroid of your rooted, stock sense rom.
Maybe you can root through a different methods than what you did originally.
After that, try another sense rom, make sure the md5 checks out too.

What recovery are you using and what version? I thought there were known issues with ClockWork 3.x.x.x version of recovery not wiping cache correctly? If you are using ClockWork you might want to try switching to Amon_RA 2.2.1. to see what happens. There is also a zip floating around (which I have attached) that can be used to wipe everything, you may want to give that a shot then reinstall the ROM. I have not used this zip, so use it at your own risk as I cannot guarantee the results. I have read about others using this and it working just fine.

I'm having issues with flashing roms, in clockworkmod after i clear davilk cache/cache/data i go to install roms skyraider 4.0 and incubus stock 2.0 sense and OptimizedZ by newtoroot i keep getting "Installation aborted bad" whats causing this to happen i'm running warmZ twopointtwo and i can re install that one along with the nighlies could it be that i'm running WarmZ twopointtwo also i'm running clockworkmod 2.5.1.2 the error is

Instalation Aborted
I got it fixed i just went out and bought a new sd card.
Do you have enough free space on your SD card?
Yes I do i hope i do anyways i have 25.00gigs
Do you do factory data reset/clear cache/ clear dalvik? Are you using cwm 2.###? Do you wipe first with cwm3 then cwm? You really shouldnt have this much problems , you may want to go back to complete stock. Are you downloading roms to pc then transfering? Maybe files are corrupted. Thats about all i can tjink of. I dl roms directly from phone, then reboot to recovery to install. Never use rom manager.

I clear dvlik cache/cache/data and i'm using clockworkmod version 2.5.x.x i will not use 3.0 and im downloading roms to pc and then flashing and i wont touch rom manager and when i download from the phone i keep getting no enough freespace i think its trying to save it to the phone or something and not the sd card.
It would help if you would create full sentences with proper grammar and spelling... It only adds to the confusion to what your problem actually is. Try re-downloading the ROM. If it doesn't work again, try upgrading CWM, you can always downgrade it later if you need/want to. As donny said, the file may have been corrupted, I had this happen to me the very first time I tried flashing a custom ROM. I re-downloaded it, and re-copied it onto my phone and that seemed to work for me.
Everytime I install a custom rom on rom manager, it has corrupted my phone and each and everytime I'd have to restore it. Is there any way to fix it? I've seen comments on the custom roms and people have commented that it works fine on the DHD.
Hi drkhrsy
Kindly explain further by your meaning of corrupt? This would allow us here to clearly understand the problems you're facing. Thanks.
Well I first installed cyanogenmod 7 and that gave me the boot loop. After restoring the phone I thought I'd try another ROM, so I went to download the TB 7.0.3 ROM and that booted up the phone but I had constant popups on HTC sense force closing and couldn't do anything else so I had to restore the phone again. So yeh, I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Did you do a full wipe before flashing those roms, multiple fcs normally indicate that you didn't try a full wipe then reflash either of your chosen roms.
Full wipe as in factory settings?
Well I've installed a new RUU after the boot loop problem, isn't that considered as a full wipe? or should I just do a wipe again now?
I had that horrible boot loop aswell after installing Rom.manager but I fixed it with a ruu
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Installing a new RUU does not constitute that you have full wipe any data and cache. As the ROM you tend to flash is, in a small or large extent, relatively different from that of RUU. That why we always advised to do a full wipe whenever we wish to flash ROMs. Else it will cause some issues such as Force Close issues.
You have to boot into recovery and select Wipe Data and Wipe Cache. That you will consider yourself that you have wipe those data and caches. Then now you can flash the desired ROM in your list.
In addition, before flashing is best to do a Nandroid back-up.
Also do check on your recovery version before you flash any ROMs as different ROMs need/may require different version in order to be flashed successfully(i.e. no or minimal issues)
Cheers mate.
aiight sweet, I'll give that a go.

You're most welcome.

Memory serving EVERY ROM says you MUST perform a wipe of data and cache if coming from a different ROM. This is custom ROM 101. Please read instructions thoroughly before doing things like this. The ROM devs don't spend their free time writing instructions just for the hell of it.
Regarding ROM Manager, don't you get asked if you want to wipe data and cache when you flash a new ROM (or is that not an option on the free version)?
Yeh I do get asked for wiping data and cache, I do that and it just seems to still screw up. Also backing up my files through clockwork seems to make my phone get stuck on the HTC boot up screen which requires me to reformat using the RUU file.
I would suggest re-flashing the recovery.img file.
Also, are you using the same cwm-r version to restore as used to create backup? For example, If version 2.x.x.x was used to backup you can't use 3.x.x.x to restore.

I've just checked my CWM-R version and its recovery version is at 3.0.2.6 hmm now I cant get into the recovery boot screen :S. I'd just most likely restore the phone again and try root the phone again. but thanks anyway
nvm I got in the recovery boot. Yeh the CWM-R are the same version.

I have amon ra 2.3 recovery and I have noticed between the last 3 roms I flashed that even after FULL wipe, including all options from amon ra + superwipe file its not wiping everything completely because as soon as I reboot the phone, it starts back with the previous rom that I flashed.
For example: I had flashed R2R rom last night and today I wiped everything at least 3 times. then I loaded mikg 2.55 and I decided to go with something else today, so again, I wiped everything at least 3 X, rebooted the phone and it booted back up with previously loaded rom (R2R)... how crazy is this?
HELP PLEASE!

I hope your bootloader does not read S-ON at the top.
no it doesnt. thanks, it says S-OFF.
I actually reflashed amon ra and superuser file just to make sure theres nothing wrong.
Also can anybody clarify for me whats that CLEAR OPTION on HBOOT for?
actually it says CLEAR STORAGE
what is it for?
you know what I have realized. This started after I did a NANDROID RESTORE. Do you know if this has anything to do with it?
If all else fails I would back up SDcard then reformat and put all your SD stuff back and try to flash a Rom again.

I don't know the answer to your problem yet, but CLEAR STORAGE is just a factory reset of your current ROM. It wipes both DATA and CACHE.
yeah I tried that and all it does is wipe personal info which is NOT fixing my issue!!!

What's your hboot and radio versions?
ive got HBOOT 6.16.1002 AND RADIO 2.15.00.05.02
I have never changed either one.
Hi, I was wondering if you ever got an answer for this? I am having similar issues. I haven't tried switching roms, just updating to a new version of Swag - but wanted to do a complete wipe. For whatever reason I still have several random apps still installed. I have run all the same wipes as you. Thanks.
Are you guys using sd-ext? Maybe its got stuff stored there also. Format that 2

+1 for sdext wipe. If you wipe cache, dalvik and userdata/factory reset and still have the same issue, though, then it might be the market that is doing it. I had that happen after switching back and forth between ROMs before as well. Turned out that the market was redownloading the last x apps right after syncing my Google account and opening the market the first time.
Do the recommended full wipe as stated above, flash ROM and do the first boot into it. When the setup wizard starts, just skip through setting up any accounts and see if it still happens. If not, sync Google account and check again.
If it is the market then it seems to go away after a while.

Have you made sure auto backup is not turned on?
I am currently running andybonestock ROM as my "stock" ROM. I've wanted to try out the newer Sense ROMs but I keep running into a problem. Every ROM no matter what will eventually (and it usually happens after an hour) start endlessly rebooting. Let me clarify, it will reboot, load initially and then start rebooting all over. Now let's specify what I do every time I try to flash one, and maybe I'm doing something wrong.
My first step is always to backup in recovery. The next thing I do is run the super wipe script, followed by wiping cache, dalvik, and then running super wipe again. Then I choose the update file and update. I reboot my system and let it fully load. I run and complete the setup where it asks you for email and wifi etc. Finally I install and run Titanium. Now maybe this is my problem but I've read many times this is how to do it but correct me if I'm wrong. I selected batch restore and let it restore missing apps with data.
I'd really like to run a ROm I liked but can't deal with the rebooting. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I've tried searching to no avail.
Thanks

Try to restore apps, but not their data. You're going from sense to sense rom, so it seems like that shouldn't be an issue, but I think you should give it a shot.
but then what's the point of Titanium? if I'm losing the data, it's no different then restoring it via Google
Its either the data or the super wipe scipt seems they cause more problems than they help.
What recovery are you using? I've been running ext4 and the format all except SD and it never gave me any problems. What's with everyone wanting super wipes when you should be able to do everything in whatever recovery your using?
I'm using clockwork and I figured superwipe is more efficient
Maybe idk all that technical stuff. Try 4ext recovery its a lot better than cwm. If you don't wanna mess with a new recovery then just try using the wipes in cwm

Yup, I have made that mistake myself.
I've flashed many different sense roms and AOSP roms. I recommend getting 4ext recovery because it has a format partition option that's really easy to do. I format all partitons (except sdcard) and then i wipe data/factory reset. I've never had any issues with flashing roms sense or AOSP. Titanium Backup I only restore data for games, but going from AOSP you must just restore apps.

I have the exact same problem (only with Sense 3.5 ROMs, though), and it happens even when not restoring apps/data.
It's kind of sad, as I was enjoying trying out different ROMs, but no amount of wiping with different recoveries or superwipe have helped.
I half wonder if many of the roms are OCed, and my phone can't handle that, but I've tried flashing different kernels right after the rom, and it still happens.
I must say i don't re-flash to AOSP, but i restore my nandroid backup. However, I do format my partitons and wipe data/reset before restoring. I can try flashing MIUI 1.12.9 and then flashing sense 3.5 rom again. I'll be able to do it tomorrow. I'll let you know.
I guess I'll just try a Sense 3.0 rom

so I tried a Sense 3.0 ROM and even a Sense 2.1 ROM and still no dice. While the ROM did last a whole day without restarting, it did not hold and went into its usual boot loop again.
I'm really annoyed but want to try something new. I have 4EXT recovery now.
Does anyone know anything else I can try???

OK I've had it. I even tried it without restoring anything from scratch and still eventually get restart errors

I've flashed 3-4 ROMs on my Dinc2. (Magnolia, IC Tazz, Skyraider, ViperINC). I've done the wipe cache/davlik/format before each flash. After testing each ROM, I decided on Magnolia, and did a full superduperwipe via Chillybean's AntiVenom. With each ROM flash I've noticed things being different and outright missing. For example, YouTube may or may not be there after flash.
Is this normal? I've tried formatting with ext3 and ext4, noticing no speed or function different... but could this have something to do with it?
I'm still sorta new at this flashing thing. If there's something I'm missing or doing wrong, I'm open to ALL suggestions.
My phone is a Verizon Dinc2, radio is 320, and my recovery is 4EXT.

Then you probably aren't doing a full wipe, assuming the rom isn't an aroma installed rom and you choose different features.
yes, they are Aroma installed, using EXT4 as my recovery. I'm talking about (specifically) Magnolia and ViperINC. I've noticed different apps being loaded with each flash. I use Chilly's AntiVenom wiper, then let the ROM do another wipe of it's own choosing. It's just weird, I thought I'd ask if anyone else ever had the same experience.

Hi Friend,
Best way to overcome this is to install Titanium Backup from play store and take a full backup of your apps+data and you can restore the same after flashing new rom.
Regarding youtube you can flash GAPPS from this link goo.im/gapps (install according to your android version)

Um, if you're flashing sense roms, don't flash gapps... Those are specifically for aosp, cm base and aokp roms.
