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
Okay I need to know how to backup my radios if something goes wrong. I would also like to know if myn's 5 is ready for testing. Thanks in advance.

Maybe this didn't aswer your question, but I just finished flashing Myn's RL5 without upgrading the radios.. if you flash a custom kernel (one in a few that myn's list in his OP) and DID NOT boot between flashing the ROM and the kernel, you can used RL5 just fine with the old radio.
I think the new HTC kernel that need radio update.
Okay soo you are saying that if I flash myn's rom and DON'T reboot after flashing a kernel then I won't have to worry about updating the radios?

no..
do this :
1. wipe everything
2. flash myn's rl5
3. flash custom kernel
4. reboot
voila.. rl5 without upgrading radio..
btw, don't forget to do nandroid backup before doing that..
Thanks for the assistance. I tried the rom for ten minutes. It is was not that good. I blame the kernal that I used.

Try Netarchy's 4.3-havs-more with or without sbc.
Just fyi, i tried overclocking these and it messes with the phone not writing pictures to the sd. The first set of pics are fine, but once you connect to the computer and save them, the rest of the pics you take show up in the phone but not on the sd. It took me forever to figure this out, lol.
Good luck on finding the right match.
Ok, so I want to flash up to myns 5 but I hear you need to update radios. I also read a thread where someone did the flashing in the wrong order and bricked themselves. I need help, do the radios nedd to be flashed first or the rom?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Full wipe,then Flash the rom first then the radio and then flash the rest one buy one.
Would it cause a problem if I flashed them all at once?

Flash then all before leaving recovery. Also when flashing radios make sure you let them flash if it looks like your phone is stuck just leave it alone for half an hour. When flaking then you will see an android with adb arrow or a box with an arrow coming out of it this is normal DO NOT PULL BATTERY you will brick your phone.

So basically it will stay there for awhile and disappear?

how old is your evo? when was it purchased .. when was it built?
did you check if you radios need to be updated??
this maybe unnecessary.
radio update.. is your biggest concern... once started.. you must let it finish... even if it looks like it is locked.. if you have to leave it run for 1hr.. let it run till it finishes.. till it boots back up to recovery!!!! make sure you have a full charge on battery!!!!
if you interfere with it.. the radio can be crapped.. and the phone has a high chance of being bricked.
I'm just worried about the brick part. I know if I flash a different kernel I won't need radio update, it's that correct?

i am a little worried on that question.. not sure if read it right...
are you asking?
if you can change the kernel.. INSTEAD of upgrading the radio?
answer = NO; they are totoally different things. Radio is way lower in the phone.. and is done deep down... that is why it can Brick your phone.
the radio needs to be updated.. once..
it will work with everything else...
unless a new radio is released.. but they do not change them very often.
then..
kernels and ROMs can be changed as often as you wish...
What I mean is stock on myns 5 requires a radio update however ziggy or another kernel does not. Is this true? The stock kernel needs the radio update or the rom?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
it is required for all new ROMs... and all new Kernels.
you need to do it.. if you dont already have it.
have you even checked if you have the new radios? how old is your phone?
boot into amon ra recovery. If you have clockwork recovery use rom manager to flash amon ra recovery.
Download myns's rls5 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
download the latest radio combo update here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715485
Place both files on the root of your sdcard
1.Backup apps via titanium or or some other method.
2. Wipe data , cache, dalvik cache 3x each.
3. Choose install zip from sdcard.
4. Flash latest radio update combo.
5. Follow all prompts. Be patient the radio flash takes a few minutes. DO NOT PULL BATTERY! Let it finish. It will go back to recovery when done.
6. Reboot device after radio flash complete. Then go to menu--> settings-->system updates--> update profile.
you have now flashed radio combo
Then reboot into recovery. Wipe data/cache/dalvix 3x each again.
Choose install zip from sdcard.
choose myn's rls5 and flash
enjoy

I have some questions about what you just said. wipe 3 times, what's the basis? Also I'm not familiar with amon. One more thing I am confused about, didn't Myn post in his thread to flash the rom first?

the stock kernel need radios updated a custom kernel will not just flash the rom then before leaving recovery flash the custom kernel
So flash a different kernel before leaving recovery so I don't have to get a new radio?

Well I'm using warmsR5 and haven't update radios and its working great, I was scared as you, didn't want to brick my phone so what i did was,....download R5 and a custom kernel, save them in my memory card then...
I went in to recovery, wipe all, data,cache etc, flash R5, and before rebooting, wipe just the cache and dalvik, and flash the custom kernel, sbc 4.1.9.1 I think , it went great!
I think you only need to update radios if your planning to keep the stock kernel, let me knorr if this works for you.

You CAN use setcpu with a HAVS kernel, but doing so would be counter productive, as the HAVS basically has a built in setcpu. I still have it on my phone, just disable at the moment.

Hello all,
I installed OMFGB 1.1. 13 Rom about 3rd weeks ago, radio is 2.15. 0.0. 7.8, Android version is 2.3. 2, CWM version is 3.0. 0.5.
Any other rom i've tried to install will install, and but after reboot, and I get so many FCs that I'm forced to recover to my OMFGB backup. Roms I've tried: CM7 RC1&2, Skyraider Athena, Lithium NG, IncrROM, Virtuous, Jager.
I am definitely a noob at all this so maybe i've missed something obvious. I used to try Roms weekly b4 OMFGB, and now it seems like I'll be stuck there forever
If anyone has any suggestions or explanations as to why I'm experiencing this, I'd apprecite any info.

You are using 3.0.0.5, there is a known bug with that version and it not wiping correctly. Upgrade to 3.0.0.8 and wipe and then flash. Your problems will be fixed.
Anytime you have a question like this, please post it in the appropriate forums also, this is the development forum.
if you still cant flash roms after wiping data you could always find the latest RUU (or is ir RRU file and go back to 2.2 stock, then you would just have to run unrevoked to root and install recovery with rom manager
FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS WILL ERASE ALL USER DATA AND BRING YOUR PHONE BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS WHEN YOU FIRST BOOTED
just remember, if anything goes wrong i didn't do it.

I've checked the market, and there is only 3.0. 5, no 3.0. 8 as someone suggested. Am I missing something?

Don't go into the market, go into rom manager, go all the way to the bottom to "All ClockWork Recoveries" and pick 3.0.0.8 from there.
Also, use this to wipe everything, including system. Do this once or twice, then flash the rom of your choice.

Hey guys. I can't stand this anymore. I have tried everything I know. I REALLY need help. I use this phone for work and school project communication and it's crucial to my day to day activities.
-Myns Warmtwopointtwo RLS5 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471)

Problem: I am getting intermittent connection. Sometimes my bars on the top will go out completely in a place where I KNOW there is connectivity. It is at random intervals. It will come back after a restart or after I switch from airplane mode and back out again. This is not a permanent solution and it keeps happening to me. It's happened on other ROMs as well!
Things I have tried\not tried:
Installed other ROMS (Cynogen is the only ROM I DID NOT have this problem with but then I lose my GPS capability when I use it...I NEED gps capabilities)
Cleared all the Davlik Cache, Cache settings, then installed a ROM
Installed in ROM, Kernel, radios in different orders. (What is the right order to do it? - I have done MANY different orders all still failing to fix this problem)
Tried other Kernels (Mostly the ones in the ROM threads recommended sections)
I have NOT tried different radios yet (I dont know which to use or where to get them.. or compatibility with ROM I'm using) - Would trying older Radios even do anything?? I don't know...
I have NOT tried installing HBoot updates yet..I noticed it in Caulkins radios thread. What is that? Should I install the latest Hboot?
Hard resetting
Using a different recovery (I am using the one that starts with an "A" now...forgot the name) - I changed it then I used this new Recovery to clear settings..problem still exists

Well, you've certainly tried quite a bit to get this fixed huh? I experienced the same thing a while back, but it wasn't on Myns rom. I ended up downgrading my radio and PRI, and that seemed to have make the issue better. You should try downgrading to 1.77 pri, and the radio that ends in 09.01. You will be fine on the older radios on Myns, you just cannot use the stock htc 15 kernel that comes with the rom. You need to flash a different kernel right after you flash the rom, before you boot up. That'd be what I would try first. Good luck.

Most, if not all, of us experience the same thing. I tend to think it is network related. You can download and install the Roam Control app from the market. It will give you the option to "roam only", usually on Verizon's network where coverage is almost everywhere. I use it here at home where I basically have little to no signal in regard to voice services.

Like you, I have no doubt that the latest baseband is also playing a role in regard to poor signal strength. Hopefully, it will be rectified when Gingerbread is released.

Oh I need to flash a different Kernel? I tried downgrading older radios but it kept giving me an error...is that why?
Those of you saying it happens to most of us...I never experienced the problem after 1 month of going to Cyanogen ROM...I had it for a full month or longer with no problems at all. Never went to 0 bars where I knew I had signal. Now it happens every day. Before Cyanogen I had the problem and now after. I just switched away from it because I needed GPS.
Keep in mind that it has been reported that Sprint is updating/upgrading their system for LTE. Don't hesitate to call Sprint and see if they can do anything from their end.

Make sure you do not have any PC36IMG.zip files on the root of your SD card. Download a fresh copy of the radio and PRI you want to flash and place them on your SD card. Afterwards, upgrade to or flash amon RA v2.3. After upgrading or flashing your recovery, wipe the cache & dalvik cache and then flash the PRI. You will reboot and see the radio update screen. Be patient. When it is done, you will reboot into recovery and see the words "clearing cache". Re-wipe the dalvik cache and then flash the radio. Like before, you will see the radio update screen. Again, be patient and by no means do you pull the battery. When it is done, you will reboot into recovery and again see the words, "clearing cache". Go ahead and select reboot and then you will boot into your homescreen.

Yes, it is just graphical noise from the kernel used in RA 2.3. I will PM you the version I use. It does not contain the graphical noise. I have amon RA v2.3 HAUS MOD. A different kernel was used. Check your PM momentarily.
Thank you! I will keep you updated in this thread with what happens and if the problem continues. Really appreciate your help.
OT: That method you told me to flash a new PRI and radio...is that the way your always suppose to do it? (I use to just straight after installing a ROM flash PRI and Radio right after. Not clearing/wiping anything in between)

Your way is perfectly acceptable. I just follow the golden rule: Prior to flashing ANYTHING, wipe the cache & dalvik cache. Doing so can save you unnecessary troubleshooting....
