Ok heres the deal.. Im a noob and have only flashed one rom since root so im real fresh to this.
My set up is as follows: rooted with unrevoked running cyanogen 6.1.2 i flashed amen ra 2.3. I dowloaded the Rom and Radio/Wimax updates and flashed according to the instructions on Myn's OP.
It boots fine but after about 60 seconds of being booted i get roughly 4-6 force close notifications. One for the market, messages, media, android process and the others i cant remember. Any ideas of what went wrong?
I really like the look and feel of this rom so I REALLY REALLY need all the help i can get on this.
Please help..

You did a full wipe prior to flashing right? Maybe try re-wiping everything, then flashing the rom again.
Do you mean a all user data/factory reset? If so then no. I wiped data, cache & dalvik tho. I also tried three different sources for the rom download and flashed all three and got the same results each time.
When you flash a new rom, you should always wipe EVERYTHING: cache, data, factory reset, and dalvik. Try doing it again with wiping all of this first.

Your EVO needs a WIPE!! I prefer to use C's Format All Zip TWICE as well as separately wipe Cache and Dalvik TWICE. After first boot, I like to reboot to recovery and wipe the Dalvik two more times. Reboot, fix permissions, reboot and you should be good to go.
Thanks guys.. I will try that right now and let you know how it turns out..
Can any one tell me where to find the cs format?
And do I need to format my sd card?

Hey man. Attatched is a copy of Calkulin's Format all. You flash it in recovery, and it wipes everything. It ensures a solid wipe. Use your recovery to wipe data/factory reset, cache, and davlik cache two times each. Then flash this zip in recovery. Then reflash the ROM. That should do the trick for you, Myn's runs good and clean!
Edit: And no, you do not need to format your SD card.
I wanna say thanks to all you guys for your help. I have it installed and running great.
If any of you have any recommendations for mods I'm open to suggestions..

Hello everyone! I am trying to flash a new rom and I am at a loss. I have tried both Amon RA and Clockwork, and neither will fully wipe for some reason. I have been at this for quite some time and have never run into this problem. I am currently running Myn's rls4. I have s-off root and have tried both recoveries with no avail. It tries to wipe then stops al too quickly. Then even after attempting to flash another rom it boots into myn's as if i just flashed it. weird huh? any help would be GREATly appreciated! I hope it ok to post this here! Thank you in advance!

Its 003, ive never had any problems at all before.
Take it you cleared all caches..reg and dalvik? Also might want to re download new ROM in case its a bad file for whatever reason and try it again.
And try wiping everything at least twice. I usually start with the Dalvik and Battery stats and then the data and cache partition wipes.

Yes I have cleared everything, and tried at least two different ROMs
Google "Calkulin's FORMAT ALL" & put the zip on your sd card & flash. It will clear everything. with the exception of dalvik, so you may want amon ra for that

Thanks I'll give it a go. I hope this works.
Additional Info
Ok there is a little more info about the situation. Ive been running Myn's... rls4. I moved all my apps to the partition on my SD. I then decided to run the dalvik cache from there as well. Well, when I moved it (through the terminal) and rebooted the entire system FC'd, everything entirely. Well I wiped everything and went back to a nandroid backup. Ever since then Ive been unable to use Apps2sd, then I came to discover the recovery problem.
Format all did the trick! Thanks so much and Merry Christmas!

Hello I'm new to the forum .
Well my problem is that I installed this new rom, I use my evo as a modem I let it downloading some stuff trough the night and when I woke up all the ui was disorganized stuff was even like out of the screen. And I dint had any signal and the internet was not working had to change to roaming (I assume thats a company problem) but why did my rom went crazy, the ui...
Any help would be great, thanks.
I've never heard of a rom doing that before. My guess would be that everything didn't get properly wiped before flashing the rom. I would try to reflash it and be sure to clear all data, dalvik, cache, settings, etc. Which recovery were you using?
Well I rooted my phone very long ago, I dint really know what I was doing XD just followed instructions.
Just saw... ClockworkMod Recovery v2.6.0.1
This is the second time I reflash for the same reason.
I wiped dalvik cache, cache and data wipe. Only time will tell now.
The sad thing I have to re customize my ui and apps againg lol

I would take Jayharper's instruction's, and perform a full wipe (data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache). I would even flash Calkulin's Format all.zip. Then reflash the ROM. It does indeed sound as if something wasn't wiped properly, because I've never seen anything like that happen on any rom I've ever been on, and Koni's ran solid on my device. It's not typical.
Edit: I'm not sure if Calkulin's Format all.zip will flash with the recovery you're on. It may, because that is an older version of Clockwork. If the file doesn't flash, it's because it's not compatible with Clockwork recovery. If that's the case, you'd either need to switch to Amon Ra's recovery, or you could find "king's format all.zip" around the forum's here, which is flashable with Clockwork recovery. I still suggest using one of the two.
Yes I runned Calkulin's, I think i just forgot to do the data/factory wipe I did it now. If it comes up againg I will tell you. Thanksfor now
One last question, is there a way to remove backups? Because I have like 3 of them that are old.

Yup. You can remove them. Just use a file explorer like astro, ES, root explorer, or even hook it up to your comp and locate the folder that says "nandroid" and select which folder to delete from there

What ROM were you on before you flashed Salvage Mod? If it was a sense rom, you need to perform a full wipe (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, boot, system) prior to flashing the new rom. When you said you cleared 'all cache', do you also mean you cleared dalvik cache as well? What recovery are you currently using? I'm on salvage 1.2.1 right now, and I've never had a problem booting it. When you say it won't boot, what does it do? Does it boot loop, or does it hang at the splash screen (white htc evo 4g screen)? The more info the better. I'd basically suggest doing a full wipe though, and try again.

I was on stock rooted before this. I did clear dalvik cache but I need to do a factory reset like you said. Thanks.
I tried that and it's still doing the same thing. It just sits at a lit up black screen. Any other suggestions?

Can you boot into the bootloader? Power off your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text should scroll across the screen and then you will see a few options. One of the options will be recovery. Anyway, at the top of the screen, you should see either S-ON or S-OFF. Hopefully, it displays S-OFF. Anyway, select recovery from the set of options and then, as k2buckley has instructed, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card itself. When you're done, do not reboot. Go to the flash menu and flash the rom you want to flash. Do not flash the gapps zip yet. Reboot after flashing the rom. I want to make sure you're able to boot into the homescreen. If you're successful, reboot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then flash the gapps.zip. afterwards, reboot. When you're all setup, go back I to recovery and make a nandroid backup.

also, make sure you got the full ROM, not just the patch for going from 1.2 to 1.2.1. I did that
I was having similar issues, mine went into a boot loop about twice before getting hung up at the initial setup with FCs. I was coming from CM7 Nightly 41 that was acting weird with FC's, I always double wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset. I thought that I might have had a bad download so I re-downloaded, wiped and flashed. I couldn't get past the initial setup so I went back to Ultimate Droid and have been running that for the last 4 days or so with out any major problems except for the Facebook update dicking things up and one random reboot that I had today... I really want to give Salvagemod a shot though since it's Evo-centric.
still not working for me
hey guys... i been trying to boot into salvage mod for the past 2 days... i get it to install just fine i do get the salvage screen up too...
then when the rom is supposed to be loaded up i get the Android dude with emergency call and a crash u keep pressing ok then it goes away and comes back right away... i just wiped everything again and reflashed it and now i am stuck with salvage screen re looping..
any help would be appreciated
thanks
The OP's problem was solved in a second thread by following the below instructions:
Download a fresh copy of both amon RA v2.3 (PC36IMG.zip) and Salvage-Mod 1.2.1 and place both on the root of your SD card. Make sure there is no other file named PC36IMG.zip. on the root of your card. If there is, put that particular file in a folder. Now shutdown your device. Boot into the bootloader screen. The bootloader will automatically detect the PC36IMG.zip file and prompt you to install. Follow the prompts to install. Installation should take less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot into your new recovery. Go to the wipe menu and wipe everything except the SD card. Do not reboot. Go to the flash menu and flash Salvage-Mod. This *should* work.

Glad you got him going Doug. I had asked him to use RA in a PM, and he responded that he liked clockwork and rom manager better, and wouldn't use RA, lol. I'm glad you convinced him otherwise.

Did you wipe cache and dalvik before flashing gapps? Also, are you sure you're using the correct version of gapps for whichever rom you're on?

You're a genius. I was doing a data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik, but not boot and system. When i did those, it worked. Thanks!
This is really bothering me. I've attempted to flash into MIUI but I am stuck on the boot screen and it's just staying there. I tried two different sources of MIUI, the latest being from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915527 - the thread for MIUI Evo 4G.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I don't know how to make this work. This has been my first try at installing a custom ROM. I already have a backup readily available.
I have tried removing my battery and restarting the phone. How do I fix my problem?
Edit: I have tried clearing dalvik cache and data cache. No go.
Gad the same prob... but didnt bother to ask... i just loaded cm7.. but i would like to try miui lol

I'll first ask the usual question: did you wipe everything (factory reset/wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, system, boot, and sd android secure) before flashing the new ROM?
And have you tried to download from this site?
http://miui.us/
Use amon RA recovery, flash a format all zip (you can find it with a quick search) and then flash miui
Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
I flashed SNS Gingerbread v1.7,OTA 4.53 Sense to my EVO and the ROM won't start. The phone has been sitting for 2 hours. I only see the black screen with android then somtimes the white htc screen will pop up but the ROM won't start. How long should it take.
Help is appreciated.

have you tried clearing cache in recovery?
if that doesn't work, i would do a wipe and reflash the rom.
I run that ROM with no problems. Try wiping everything (cache data dalvik), and then reflashing the ROM. It's always going to take a little longer to start up the first time, like 5 minutes, but should be faster from there.
Im a little new so thank you for the patience, here is a quick order of how i was taught to flash
wipe data/factory reset twice
wipe cache partition twice
go to advance
wipe dalvik cache twice
wipe battery stats twice
install zip from sd card
choose zip from sd card
then select the rom,
after that the screen has the black background and android then flashs the white background htc,
any corrections you advise are appreciated
Are you using Clockwork or Amon Ra?
If Amon Ra, which I suggest you use, Wipe everything, except SDCard: (And Battery Stats if not fully charged). Everything else gets wiped.
Then flash the ROM and reboot.
Im useing Clockwork, will give it a third try
This time the evo loaded Kings Alliance (which i pulled from backup, previously today)
AKWARD??
Where did you get the ROM from? Possibly a bad zip file. Check the Dev section and download it from there. Then reflash and see how that works.
It probaly was a bad file i flashed a new one so now im working on overclocking thanks everyone
