Problems after Evervolv ?

Anyone out there have problems flashing back to Froyo ROM after using Evervolv gingerbread?
I can flash back to a Nandroid of Evervolv, but cant:
1. Fresh install Froyo Rom
2. Re-install Nandroid
This is of course all after wipe of everything.
Using Ra for wipe of dalvik, cache, battery, sd ext , factory reset.
ANY ADVICE.
when I try and flash any froyo rom or nandroid of a froyo rom I just get the white HTC evo 4g screen which stays (ive left it for an hour) until reset and flash back to evervolv.
So.......im stuck using ONLY evervolv and im kinda over the rom not working well yet. Its improving, but still too much not working consistently and reliably.
Does RA recovery need to be updated.......would that potentially fix the problem ??? or did something else cause the gingerbread only problem.

Sounds like you updated your radio and pri and are trying to flash to a rom still running the older HTC #17 kernel.
Download and flash one of the new roms based on the new ota 3.70 with the htc#15 kernel.
If it boots up there's the issue

Boot loop on miui

well i am a little lost... i tried to update the kernel to the newest version of savaged zen. But got stuck on the white screen, so i went back and wiped both catches again, then i got to the boot animation and now thats looping.. okay so i made a backup before starting but now after wiping everything and restoring the backup is boot looping too. Any suggestions?

Try another kernel. I am using the BCblend kernel from november, it's awesome and very stable. Once you get it booted, go into your advanced wifi settings and set your sleep policy to never.

well... my backup boot loops too... wouldnt the backup have the old kernel?

It's possible your phone doesn't like that kernel either, mine didn't. How long were you running it before flashing the new kernel? I would try at least a couple more kernels and if you still can't get it booted then wipe and start over. What version of MIUI are you running?

In my opinion...if you have a good working kernel do not change it. From what ive seen every custom rom is based off a stock rom that comes with a kernel. Usually only custom kernels that match the rom version work well. So it could be the rom and the kernel dont work well together. One thing is nobody seems to list which kernel version is from which rom. So its hard to tell. Also I think your pri version will mess with compatability also. Basically newest rom versions should work with newest kernels. But if your on an older rom...the older kernels will probably work better. And usually kernels come out (it seems) before rom versions. Like new miui kernel supports 4g, but the rom does not support it yet. Also nandroid? backups should have the kernel also. Not sure bout miui backup. But wiping and installing it fresh usually works well. If not you know the deal..wipe everything..then flash the rom..and start over So.....find a good one...keep it=no issues

phone touch screen wont register my touch after rom flash

my first rom was evervolv for droid incredible. i decided to go with magnolia rom.. it all worked up to getting to the lock screen after flashing it. the lock screen wouldnt read my touch.. and i switched back to evervolv. it worked after i did. then i decided to go with Warm Z TwoPointTwo... and it did it again.. i'm getting sick of the same ole same old and i need help.. anyone have suggestions to fix this mess so i can get the roms i want???

Are you saying when you flash a different ROM, the touchscreen is not working, and if so, are you running the kernel that comes with the ROM, or something other before first boot?
Are you fully wiping data/cache/dalvik prior to flashing the other ROMs?
Do you have ample space on your SD card?

make sure you clear data/cache/dalvik and all that jazz.
you can also try flashing a new kernel in recovery, that might do something...

yeah i flashed a different rom to my phone and then it messes up.. the screen doesnt read my touch.. i restored my evervolv for it and it works fine again.. but i dont know how to flash a "kernel" that would work with the rom i want.. doesnt that come with a new custom rom?? and what is dalvik? i just press factory reset or whatever..

Dalvik is under the advanced tab in recovery. I do data, cache, dalvik before flashing a new row. I do cache, dalvik, battery(also under advanced) before flashing kernel. Dl krnel to root of sd card, flash in recovery like rom. I nvr use rom mgr for flashing anymore. Make sure u use sense kernel for sense rom, aosp kernel for aosp roms. Couple of good threads on kernels. Chads kernels work great for my phone, but its preference. Any problems just use the search function on xda, cant find answer then just ask. Good luck.
yes, i am one who likes to flash then flush

This sounds like the same issue you would get with a kernal that is not compatable with a rom. or a theme/mod ment for a different rom. I run evervolv myself and if I try anything else i need to clear/factory reset everything before i flash

i'm very grateful for your guys help. but.. i just ran into that same fix again. i flashed another kernel so i could run the rom i want and it still did it.. so i need to know the kernels that are compatible with roms.. specifically the one i want. (right now its Warm Z TwoPointTwo) but if there is a thread with this info i will try and find it. and also do i flash the kernel for the rom after i flash the rom or do i flash the rom then boot up then go to recovery and apply the kernel.. i'm sorry if i'm sounding too noobish.. i'm learning. very slowly lol

You are flashing Sense kernel with Sense ROM, yes? The kernel is flashed AFTER the ROM install.

Q: what should I do?

Hi, so I'm super green but itching to load custom kernel and rom... So my Evo is rooted and have seen some pretty sweet roms, lol, kinda scared to flash and not sure what roms go with what kernals, do I even need a new kernal? What I really want is a kernal I can overclock to 1198mhz, and a rom build based on honeycomb and or gingerbread that is 100% stable or as close as I can get... Help? Lol...

hahah exited aren't you... welcome to the root world!
you asked for hc/gb. google hasnt released hc source code yet, probably not until ice cream, so there is none of that. you can however download cyanogen(mod) 7, which is almost totally stable.
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=supersonic
there's the mirror link. download either rls4 or nightly 33. nightly 33 is a bit funky bcuz cyanogen is pulling an april fools prank saying he sold cm to teh duck revolution, and the rom is now called 'teh duck uber distro'. so maybe rls4 or just wait for the next nightly.
everything works. 4g (with one bug that there is an annoying fix for), hdmi (download hdmwin from the market) gps (with a fix) and everything else is perfect. it is still in beta/nightly stages, but should be done soon. it is my daily driver, as well as many other peoples. this rom is crazzzy popular. try it for sure.
start with stock kernel, but i'd try both savaged-zen and tiamat kernels on it. they will both give you much better battery. tiamat tends to give slightly better performance/quickness but savaged-zen (on custom SAVAGEZEN governer) gives fantastic battery. try them both!!!
again, welcome to the community. hope this helps.

Where do I get the kernals? And what process do I use? I have clockwork premium... I just don't wanna miss a step a jack myself
Also, is it gonna wipe my phone, do I need to wipe it? No issues with that though as I do it all the time... And thank you so much for the feedback BTW, still a little confused...

ok, first of all, clockworkmod isn't the recovery you want to be using. download amon-ra's recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026 make sure you get the pc36img.zip. put the pc36img.zip on the root of your sdcard (that means not in any folders) MAKING SURE IT IS NAMED EXACTLY PC36IMG.ZIP. aka just dont rename it. then power off your phone, and once it is off, hold power and volume down. you will see a white screen with scateboarding droids at the bottom. this is your BOOTLOADER SCREEN also known as hboot, and you see it quite often. so hboot will scan your sdcard, and find the pc36img.zip. hit volume up to accept the 'update'. then once it is done, volume up again to reboot.
you can download kernels from the evo android development subforum right here at the xda.
so first flash your rom. you can either boot up into it, or just flash the kernel right away. flash the kernel just like you would a rom, but without wiping.
enjoy.
any other questions, ask away.

100% agree. Amon Ra imo is the much more stable & user friendly recovery

Alright, so, can I do all this just from my phone? Is a pc recommended? Will my stock kernal overclock? Never flashed a rom before, I'm an electronic/computer tech so I pick up shniz pretty quick but still don't wanna b---- this sucker...

you can do it all from your phone if you want. i perfer downloading on my pc and transferring from there in case i want to modify anything, but you can always just dload on phone. make sure the pc36img.zip isnt in download folder or anything if you do. it needs to be on the root. your stock kernel can't overclock sadly. if you have never flashed a rom before, then cm7 will be crazy different than stock rom. most custom rom's are based off the stock htc software, just modded. cm7 is aosp, which means it is stock GOOGLE software. htc spends quite a few months modifying htc sense into google software, so the speed and memory increase is very noticable. just wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache when switching roms. you might want to backup your apps and their data using titanium backup. just dont backup system data, that can cause problems. then flash the rom after wiping, flash any kernel or addons you want (dont forget to flash gapps if it is an aosp rom, bcuz if you dont u wont have the market or anything) and reboot. for any other mods you install after that on the same rom, just wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash away. wiping data between roms is always reccomended. if you want to stick with the cm7 nightlys, then all you need to wipe is cache and dalvik. there is never much of a problem with just flashing one over the other without a data wipe.
and forgot to mention, you cant control amon-ra recovery with rom manager. but then again, rom manager is just a touch screen version of recovery. you get used to the volume/power keys pretty quickly.

ok, im freaking out now, my phone is locked in the cm little surfer droid with the arrow circling around been constantly running for about 45 mins, im fuct, really fuct without my phone!!! its my only internet too!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Did you do a factory wipe, Clear the cache & wipe Dalvik?
Sounds like it just wasn't a good install. Do the above in recovery & reinstall your ROM

ya did you wipe? doesnt sound like it. make sure data, cache, and dalvik cache are all wiped successfully. also make sure you are using amon-ra recovery. cwm can sometimes give you problems.

Need some help asap

ok well i just downloaded and flashed the chopsuey kernel and now when im rebooting, my phone only sits at the htc evo 4g screen.. someone PLEASE HELP.. i think my phone just got bricked

No problems mate,just pull your battery,replace it,when turning on hold your volume button down,when you entered the bootloader,scroll to recovery and wipe your phone then find restore/nandroid then restore your phone to your latest backup,hopefully you did back up,if not reinstall the rom again after you wipe everything,then next time set your CPU to a lower setting,then move up gradually.I hope this helped.

blah.. so new to this i didnt know i could backup through recovery.. thought it meant like my apps and what not =/ guess i have to wipe

I set my phone to high the first time and it did the same thing and of course i freaked,lol.After bricking your phone a few hundred times,you remember to do a backup regularly.

what rom are you using? Hopefully not a AOSP cause Chop Suey is a sense kernel.

well my set cpu wasnt working because i was using stock kernel.. all i did was flash the chopsuey rom and then i just hit reboot and i was stuck at the htc evo 4g white screen.. what did i do wrong?

i am using team nocturnals sense 3.0 themed rom. more specifically, shooterRLS_3.1

Ok i'm not sure that roms compatible with chopsuey,try freedom kernel... Freedom Kernel

I am rooted. and i meant chopsuey is a kernel.. but the rom im using is shooterRLS_3.1.. im guessing i just flash the rom, and then the kernal and im done?

i just retryed and now its actually starting up so blah.. is it actually not compatable or not?

If its running ok,use it.

oh ok.. i dont want to screw up my phone.. so blah.. thanks for the help.. almost had a heart attack

Did you wipe cache and Dalvik before you flashed the ROM? If that ever happens again, wipe those then try to boot again. If it still doesn't boot, wipe everything and reflash your ROM, err, start over, but since it was just a Kernel, that would probably wiork

Whenever you flash a new rom, wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik, system, boot, .android_secure, sd-ext). Whenever you flash anything that isn't a rom - kernels, themes, mods, boot animations, etc - or flash an update to your existing rom then wipe cache and dalvik only.
Always make a nandroid backup when you flash a new rom. I don't nandroid for everything I flash, but if you're flashing a new kernel and it has been a while since you did a backup then go ahead and do another one. You can always delete nandroid backups to save space, but keep at least one on your SD card. Also nandroid before modifying system files, like removing system apps.
Always read about what you're doing before you do it.
I know you solved your problem, just pointing some stuff out that you may have missed along the way. Good luck & happy flashing!

True that. I keep 5 Nandroids on my phone at all times: Original Stock/Rooted. Stock/Rooted with updated apps +TB & GPS Status, Last good setup, Current ROM before I added all my apps, etc. and Current ROM after a fresh flash.

Jeeze, I feel like I take so many shortcuts...I only keep a backup of my CM7 latest, and currently ICS, incase I had to switch for whatever reason.
I keep all my apps up to date in tb so that alleviates that issue.

Well, it's not about apps. I like to have the barebones, stock/rooted all the time. The updated stock is for when I need to run the Sense Fix for GPS, or just updating profile/PRL.
The last Good Setup is obvious, as is the current good setup.
The bare bones Nandroid for my current ROM is in-case I screw up, I can go back to that and start over

Well that makes sense. If I mess up, I just go back to the last backup. xp Though neither practice is bad.
