[Q] Problems flashing ZIPs - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I just flashed MIUI's update yesterday, and got tired of the SMS force closing, and downloaded the fix offered in the MIUI forums. Tried flashing in Amon Ra 2.2.2 and said the file was not signed. With the loss of HDMI, 4G, and my signature MIUI SMS pop-up, I decided to switch back to Myn's. The rom seems to have flashed fine, but every kernel or other Zip I try to flash is coming back unsigned.
I have attempted re-downloading files just to ensure quality, and to no avail...
Any help or suggestions would be great!

flash amon-ra 2.3 which is auto set to flash non signed zips. or in 2.2.2 toggle the flash signed zip verification off.
either way will work.

Need APK for Flash or fix for AvA froyo

I had full flash running on 2.1, but now that I'm using ava's froyo rom, flash doesn't seem to be working. Any sites with flash usually crash the default browser and on dolphin HD if I click the green arrow button for flash it crashes again. I tried uninstalling Flash through Titanium, which was successful, but now anytime I try to reinstall it I get the "application not installed" error. Does anyone have a confirmed working apk or a fix? Any help is appreciated

there's a link to the evo flash 10.1 apk on post 156 in the Ava thread which I found by searching, btw . Have you tried using TB to uninstall your existing flash? It's under a for adobe and not f for flash if you were having trouble finding it.

see my prev post for a working flash apk
just wanted to give an update. Used Titanium Backup to remove adobe flash but instead of installing the apk posted here, I used dolphin HD to go to a flash based website and when I clicked on the green arrow it took me to the market to download flash 10.1 beta 3. I had tried installing the apk but it kept telling me it failed, but that was not the case with the market download. Everything works now and I didn't need to reset like other posts say

[Q] Problems installing the CM6 ROM on newly rooted evo with 2.2

I just rooted my evo 2.2V following the incredible instructions outlined on XDA. now i have ROM manager installed. I did a backup using the ROM manager app and also downloaded the CM6 ROM using the same app. butwhen i tryed to flash the rom it did not go through. The phone rebooted but gave an error even befour the process could start. I tried it again using the ROM manager with the same results. What could be the issue? the original ROM was downloaded by ROM Manager and is still in the memory and every time i try flashing it, it just comes up with an error and i have to restore the backup. Could this be due to a corrupted dowload or something else. Thanks in advance for the help guys.
I recently used ROM Manager to d/l and flash CM6, no issues. But now when I use it to backup the ROM, it freezes up on a f/c screen after the backup is completed and is rebooting. Replicated the issue twice to be sure. Have to pull the battery. So much for not having to do a real nand, lol.
Still searching for the right thread for my issue.
Update: Cleared d/l cache, flashed RA 1.8 then reflashed Clockwork, all better.

I'm not qualified to tell anyone how to do anything, but you can find directions on how to d/l and place the rom on the root of your sd card, then flash it with recovery. Search out flashing roms and I'm sure you'll get it done.
Clearing and reflashing clockwork on rom manager before you try might not do any harm as well. Never know. Read up, don't trust my word, lol.

Have you tried other roms besides cm6? You will need the .76 hboot with that one. If you are having issues flashing any rom, then you will meed to try unlocking your nand again with toasts Eng bootloader.

Phone does not boot past HTC Evo 4G screen?

I flashed the following: EVO_Radio_2.15.00.11.19_WiMAX_27167_R01_PRI_NV_1.90_003.zip

Any ideas?

Recovery work perfectly fine, let me try flashing some other rom.
Also, because this might be a bad radio flash, can reflashing radio hurt?

Could you give more information so I could be of help. Like what Rom, kernel, recovery anything specific...

I recommend you flash the previous version and then do a full wipe....next, flash a rom...then when that boots you can go back into recovery again and restore a nandroid if you would like....

Using Clockwork 2.5.1 (?, flashing right now) so I can't check.
Was on MYN RLS4. Flashed the bundled radio zip linked above, now in this situation. Currently, I'm flashing to RLS5 after a ADB push of the zip file. Edit: Was on BS#6 Kernel
If this doesn't work, I'll flash a deodexed stock 3.70.
Any more recommendations?
edit: Looks like I got past the HTC Evo 4G screen, just waiting for the MYN boot animation now.
edit2: I booted up, thanks for the help. At least I can rest knowing that my radio flash wasn't borked.

What happened after you flash the radio? Be specific..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Ive had the same problem today on two different evos, with two different recoveries! Both times I just booted into recovery and ran a full nandroid backup, then restarted and it stuck in white screen.
First was with amon_ra recovery. I pulled the battery after it stuck on white screen and it rebooted fine.
Second time was with clockwork. I just now pulled the battery and rebooted..... and it looks to be sticking again.
Both are running Fresh Rom. v3.5.01 I think.
Do you have the SDK installed and a usb cable? Hook up the evo, then do: "adb logcat", power on, and post the output. Note: it sounds like it is looping so watch carefully and when you see it looping hit "crtl+c" to stop logcat.
Do this! download this to you sd card http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PXIYUNSY than boot into bottloader, let the phone search for the file update and this should get you up and running. The problem doing what you did is that that works when a different kernel not htc kernel.
good lookin out

You will not Loose Root.
You lucky son of a gun, my old evo wouldn't even not into recovery. Just bootloader. After stressing out for hours trying to fix it I finally got a replacement
The same thing happened to me and your link worked like a charm. I was just wondering if after I did this would I still be able to try and flash a different rom? or am I stuck with this one? I am just wondering....as you can see Im pretty new to the rooting game.
Basically, if you update your radios, you have to also update your rom to 3.70 build otherwise the phone won't get pass the bootanimation screen. Normally, you would update the rom then update the radios. Also, to nandroid or flash back to 3.30 build, you have to downgrade the radios back to the version used for 3.30. I was stuck on bootloop with new radios if I flashed any rom below 3.70, but downgrading the radios to previous version allowed for 3.30 nandroid restores.
Ok thank you a bunch for the info!! you were a life saver lol
Same Questions
Ok so I did what you said above and loaded that file onto sd card and went into bootloader if worked and i managed to get into recovery and flashed fresh and got the phone booted all way but I want Warm two point two so i flashed that version 4 and it wont go past the white HTC screen what can I do

[Q] Having major problems on Sense roms, help!

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
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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.

[Q] Problem getting into recovery.

I have recently rooted my phone and there was a couple things missing, and i wanted to just flash a new rom onto it, but no matter how i try it, i cannot load up the clockwork mod recovery. If i click 'recovery' in the hboot menu, it just pops up the 'htc evo 4g' screen for less than a second, then goes right back to the hboot screen. Any suggestions?
At the top of the HBOOT screen, does it show S-ON or S-OFF? If the latter, you need to re-root. If the former, I suggest downloading amon_RA Recovery.
Take the PC36IMG.zip file and place it on the root of your SD card (not in any folder), enter the bootloader and after a short pause, the bootloader *should* autodetect the file and prompt you to install. Installation takes less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, amon_RA will be your recovery.

thanks for the help, do you consider it a bad idea and start all over and unroot it then re do it? i only suggest it because i may have possibly missed a step rooting it, cause when i started up my phone i didnt have the market, gmail, i couldnt setup a google profile on my phone to retrieve contacts, none of that.

If you've flashed an AOSP rom then chances are you didn't flash the associated GAPPS (Google Apps) zip which would install the Google related stuff like the Android Market app, the Gmail app and others. If it is a Sense-based rom, I would re-wipe/factory reset and then reflash the rom. Rooting, in and of itself, has nothing to do with the Android Market app not being installed.

Sounds like a bad or corrupt file that you're trying to flash. Either that or it's not flashable. Can you open the file up with your computer, or do you get an error? If you can open the file, is there a folder in there called META-INF.? if not, the zip is not flashable, and you probably downloaded a system dump by accident. Good luck.

Let's start from the beginning. Which rom are you trying to flash? I take it that you already have CyanogenMod installed but not the gapps zip. If the gapps zip is bad, make sure you are downloading the one specific to the version of CM that you've flashed. Downgrading the PRI to 1.77_003 is irrelevant in this matter. If, however, you're trying to flash a different rom that states that you need PRI 1.77_003 then okay. If you are trying to flash a different rom and it is AOSP, get the rom and associated gapps zip and place it on the SD card. Go into recovery and wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu EXCEPT the SD card. After that, flash the rom then flash the gapps zip.
