So my roms i download will install and boot up but once i get to that specific roms boot screen it just does an infinite loop. i then take the battery out, boot it into recovery and go back to my back up. I am not sure why it is doing this and would just love to be able to use cm7 (which did the infinite boot as well). its rooted using unrevoked and i have used a few other roms on it as well this has just been what has been happening lately. any help would be much appreciated!!
Had the same prob with cm7 #22, but 23 is working just fine, try that one. Remember the Dec said some may be broken, just fish around, but be very careful.

Sorry, meant to say the "dev" said some cm7 nightlys are experimental and may be broken. Flash to the last rom that functioned for you, then use rom manager to download the latest cm7 nightly. Which is what I'm using now and am very satisfied with.

see i tried the latest one and a few others. im not sure what it could be, that makes them go to the infinite boot screen. Should i try factory reset, root it again, restore my old version, then try to boot more roms?

Flash CM7 in recovery. Then BEFORE you reboot, install a different kernel
This is your best choice for CM7 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905873
Then reboot your Inc and see if it boots up, I have heard of a couple people who couldn't get their Inc to boot up with the stock CM& kernel, no clue why though.
hahaha so i got it to work. it was rom manager not letting me go through with it all. just did it manually through recovery. but i got sm7 to install and no notification bar. hence why im laughing. just gonn install miui and give her a shot.

I am unable to flash any roms except cm6 ( I can also flash any nightlies. )
This is driving me crazy. I have tried to flash fresh 3.2 to no avail. I have also tried to install the new virus rom. I attempted to install the rooted version off the newest ota with the same results.
After each attempt the result is the same. It will just hang on the HTC evo 4g screen.
I have downloaded the roms a few times each to ensure they were completed correctly.
I have pulled the battery and waited.
I have deleted all data / dalvik / Cache several times in a row.
I have attempted to flash using a different version (earlier) of clockwork with the same results.
I even attempted to flash with RA recovery. Same results.
I am completely lost as to why I can only flash cm6 roms
Please let me know any suggestions.

From what I have read...................
You need to restore a 2.1 or a 2.2 rom you have, boot to that, then you can flash to a 2.2 rom.
You can't go from CM directly to another rom.
I am on 2.2

An HTC rom.
CM is not a typical ROM.
Restore your original backup, and try from there. If you don't have one, you may need to RUU

Ok, so basically I am going to unroot - reroot?
I just flashed from cm6 straight to baked snack directly with no problems. Not really helpful but you shouldnt need to flash to a stock rooted rom first. Note sometimes you have to wait a good 5 minutes for the htc screen to go away. Probably took about 5 when I moved from cm6 to snack.
I just tried again, attempted to go to fresh. I let it sit for 10 minutes with no results.

I unrooted- rerooted with the same results, I cannot flash ANY roms other than Cm6 it seems, this is very frustrating..
Anyone else have any ideas at all??
Thanks!
Try flashing a new recovery. If you're using the newest amon go back to the last one or vice versa. Or even move over to clockwork. But I would ask about that I know clockwork doesn't play well with cm6. This could get you in trouble but I guess you always go back to amon.

Nothing worked, tried going to different recoveries/versions. Nothing.
Anybody? Any advice?
if you flashed cm6 and have it working... its my understandung that you cqn not just go and flash a different rom. there is a process that needs to be followed.
but i have never and never will use cm6 so i could easily be talking from my rear.

I flash from cm6 to rooted stock rom when I need to update prl and stuff.
After you flash wipe dalvik and cache again I had that problem when flashing snap.
Im not sure if these don't help. Maybe you can send a tweet to cyanogen himself to get it resolved. If fix pst your findings

Also check your kernel, you shouldnt have to flash anything but the rom you want when switching from cm6
Not sure if its the fact i am running CM 7 or what but whenever i try a different kernel then there stock everything boots just fine but the touch screen doesn't work. I am lost and have no clue what to try.
What kernel are you trying to flash?

If running cm7, ya gotta flash a gingerbread AOSP kernel - try that.

I believe it was the AOSP kernel part that i was missing. I finally got a Invisiblek to install. Thanks for the help.

Invisiblek is the way to goon Gingerbread roms. I've flashed his newest with OMFGB 1.1.1, and it is awesome. No problems snappy, excellent battery too!
Sometimes people (including me) mix up AOSP and Sense, sadly they don't like to play with others if you install them with the wrong rom. Racists, pft.
I have only had the phone about a week now so I have had a lot to learn. So far everything seems good now and I am happy. Now if i could just get better battery life lol.

The link you provided is the EVO kernel. Have you tried the Inc kernel?
Evo: http://www.thebcblends.com/cayniarb/Kernels/evo/Tiamat_Evo-v3.3.3-sbc.zip
Inc: http://www.thebcblends.com/cayniarb/Kernels/inc/Tiamat_Inc-v3.3.3-sbc.zip
The zip files have different contents.
EDIT - I just realized the thread you linked has both the Inc and the Evo versions. I saw that it was in the Evo subforum and jumped to the wrong conclusion. In any regard, make sure you are flashing the right one.
I just flashed
Inc: http://www.thebcblends.com/cayniarb/Kernels/inc/Tiamat_Inc-v3.3.3-sbc.zip
and i am still having same problem. Any ideas ?
Edit: Messing around with rooted phones is something I have just started so it maybe something simple I am missing.
Not sure why my cell doesn't seem to like other kernels but
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905873
seems to be doing just fine so i will leave it alone.
Thanks for all the help.
Have you tried Incredikernel? Kernels are really a matter of personal preference, but Incredikernel seems to be one of the best. (And also my favorite.)
I gave it a shot a while back and had trouble. My issue is that he touch screen doesn't respond. Incredikernel is recommended in several places but i had zero luck with it supporting the screen. I have started to wonder if its support for slcd.
I will try it again and see what happens.
I have been reading where people are getting the nightly CM7 builds. I was wondering first off how do I go about setting this up. Secondly does this wipe your setting every time? It would be a pain to have to setup the phone every day. Also I have ripped out the ADW launcher as I find the Go Launcher to be superior is this something that would be overwritten? Thanks in advance for the knowledge, still new to the forum and handicapped as far as knowledge base when it comes to this.

Nightly builds can be downloaded via ROM manager, you need to have a premium licence though or you can get them from here.
I theory all of your setting would remain the same, but sometimes nightly builds can be unstable and broken, but for the majority of the time you would not experience any issues.
Have you installed go launcher to system/app? If so you would lose this every time you flash because flashing a rom rewrites the system partition. But if you have just installed it like a normal app it still be there after you flash.
Hope this helps

That helps immensely. I have attempted to purchase the full Rom Manager to no avail. It just sits in the verifying state. So I just returned it. If I dl it from the mirror I'll have to install from recovery not the rom manager because to install from a zip is also only in the premium license version.
As for the settings. I just installed the Go Launcher like any other app no special settings. So I should be good?

To be honest your better not using rom manager and just doing everything manually in recovery, rom manager is known to on occasion cause issues. And yes if you flash a new nightly go launcher would still be there. Just do a nandroid first to be safe
What version of CM are you using at the moment?

At the moment I am just running the CM 7 release 7.0.2. It is running great. I'm running it in conjuntion with Pershoots kernel and couldn't be happier. Just thought it'd be nice to check out new builds every so often just didn't want to spend 2 hours reconfiguring my phone again.
As for using recovery, I may actually do that. I have been wanting to get more into the process and what not. Having to root the phone through ADB got me interested more in the inter workings of these little devices that run our lives.

The reason I asked what verson you were on is because if you do start using the nightlys you can't then downgrade to a stable release with out doing full wipes. Due to nightys being 2.3.4 and stables being 2.3.3
CWM is fairly easy to use

Actually just read the last couple pages of the nightly thread. They have a stable release of 7.0.3. Dling right now to check it out. Thanks for the knowledge.

Nevermind got it all figured out. Everything seems to be working and this build seems pretty stable.
I had a rom, that restarted the phone on its own, and the launcher kept getting erased, so i installed another rom and it wouldnt work.I had to Odin, and then have tried to install about 6 diffrent roms, with none working. Either it will get stuck in a boot loop, or just the buttons would light up with no screen. Please Help me

You listed his issues he's probably flashing in wrong Cwm or with wrong build....
Odin the ECO5
THEN ROOT WITH THE ONE CLICK ROOT 3.0.2.5
THEN FLASH ACS FROZEN 1.1.1 (Best ROM Ever )
.... Thats it
thats exacly what i did. Frozen was the 1st rom..then i later went to the gingerbread leak (anoymous) and it was working but i kept losing data connection so i went back to urban fury...then it ramdomly would reboot with no launcher and i tried to reinstall, and ever since then all i can do is odin. i wonder if my root some how is messed up or something
I'm currently running acs's sfr 1.1.1. I Flashed it twice because I had a bad flash. But otherwise its running great. There's great vid's that show you step by step. It should be in sfr 1.1.1 first post in the dev section.

And if its SRF did you download the version without the kernel included? Or the one with the kernel in it?
Could be bad downloads?
Try running CWM 3.0.0.6? I think is the previous version
I was having a ton of problems with 3.0.2.5 constant boot animation loop
couldn't get past any of the roms boot animations
I odin'd back to EC05, completely rerooted with the previous clockwork and it flashed good after the second time of course
had the double boot logo at first lol
if that doesnt work you could go into the bonsai recovery, I havent had any problems with that recovery at all
Hello forum,
I recently switched from CM7 because I was having some issue with random resets and FCing with Maps that slow down and shut off my phone. I flashed to the New Fresh ROM to try it out. That worked fine, but I missed the pull down notification bar. I tried Salvage-Zen but got stuck in a boot-loop and then I tried Salvage. I got past the boot screen but when the Android pops up even though I click I can't go any further. Does anybody know of a possible solution?
Few suggestions: Are you wiping properly, do you have the latest recovery (amon ra or clockwork), are you flashing gapps, did you update to all the latest radios/wimax/prl?
Why don't you try to flash decks aosp rom!

do you do a clean wipe before flashing roms or are you just installing one on top of the other. I would suggest looking for Caulkins format all zip and run it prior to flashing a rom
Same problem on friends phone just use amon RA wipe everything twice and flash and be patient with the white evo 4 g screen it may take a while there.
