Hi, my Evo is a launch one (HW002). Ive been running Magnus ROM for the last month, but today I decided to give Virus's ROM a try, and after download and 3 wipes of the usual suspects (cache, dalvik, data) plus the Format All zip, I flashed my ROM but when I came back I was stuck on a boot loop. So I nand back to Magnus again, and then decide to flash Kings 2.3 Sense ROM, and also had a boot loop! This has never happened before, and I was able to nand back to Magnus..... is there something wrong with my phone, that is not letting me flash ANY new ROM at all???
Well I don't own eco but I think u should format data and stuff before flashing and go back to stock and start all over and also I would never try a rom with the name virus smh

What recovery are you using to flash the rom? Clockwork or Amon ra? What radios are you on? Which Virus rom were you trying to flash? I've never had trouble.trying.to boot any of his.roms, they are usually solid.

Amons recovery, latest radio and newest Virus 2.3 ROM. Ive never had trouble flashing ANY ROM before, and all of a sudden my phone is acting up. At least it is letting nand back to my previous ROM.

Hmm, that's odd. Are you sure the files you're trying to flash aren't corrupted? You said you did a full wipe, including a format all, so an improper wipe is ruled out. I unfortunately don't have a lot to suggest. I think if that was happening to me, I would first try reflashing my recovery, and then try wiping and flashing again.

I wish I had more to try suggesting for you. Its odd that both of the roms you tried flashing were sense based 2.3 roms. I wonder if you're phone doesn't like the kernel that comes cooked into those roms. I think virus's 2.3 rom uses the same kernel as the 2.3 king's rom. Perhaps after you flash the rom, you could power off the phone, take out the sd card, and try booting it without the sd card in it. I've heard of weird booting issues being caused by an issue with the sd card. It certainly couldn't hurt anything to try it, but I would think that if that was the issue, you'd have trouble booting any rom. I'd still try it though.

If his phone doesn't like the stock kernel, I'd recommend flashing a custom kernel in the same session, after wiping the cache and dalvik after he flashes the rom.

Right, which is definitely what I'd normally suggest. However, since he's trying to use the new Sense 2.3 roms, there arent really any custom kernels for those roms yet. Some people have reported success with Netarchy's, but it breaks the camera app. Other people reported loops with netarchy. Basically, there arent any custom kernels for any 2.3 GB + sense roms yet, so his kernel switching is limited. He could try another one, and may have it work, as some other people had reported. But his camera won't work!

I had already tried another ROM ( Myn's Warm Z) just to see if it is the kernels and the Sense 2.3 combination, but that didnt give me any problems at all. So Im guessing it is the kernel included in those ROMS. I will try your suggestions, though, just to see if they actually make a difference. Thanks for the kind help.

Damn. That sucks. I'm not sure what would be causing that. You wiped, you tried a different kernel, your radios and PRI are updated, you tried booting without the SD card in place. I'm not sure what'd send you to bootloops. Did you happen to try updating to the most recently leaked radio? The one that was in the dump from the leaked gingerbread rom? Although I doubt that'd make any difference, but you never know. I flashed it the other day, and it works just as good as all the other ones. I never really notice a major difference from changing radios. But the leaked one does work.

well since i cant flash kernels but i can flash roms that comes with kernels is possible i can customize the kernel in the rom? i mean like flashing a rom and adding my own choice kernel?
Why can't you flash kernels? You do it in recovery the same way you flash a rom - with the exception of wiping data. You only need to wipe cache/dalvik.

i dont know whats wrong with my phone but all the kernels i tryed to flash it end up in a bootloop. i flash sense with sense and aosp with aosp kernels they all go into bootloop. trust me i even used amon ra recovery sometimes backing up with amon ra recovery and trying to restore sometimes it doesnt work. clockworkmod seem to be fine but cannot flash kernels.
Did u try the kernal manager in the market. It might help with getting a kernal to work

you dont know i try everything i even posted it on xda asking for help. i follow all there steps still same problem bootloops. i even had to factory reset twice because i was stuck in bootsceen. i used unrevoked to root but i was thinking maybe if i unrevoked it and using a differnt method to root. but i havent tryed it. so i donno if its phone or the program im using to root i donno whats the deal. i never flash any kernels because i was unable to pass the bootloop. the only way to get a custome kernel is flashing a rom that has a custom kernel.
It def doesnt have anything to do with unrevoked. What ROM are you running and what kernel are you trying to flash? Are you wiping cache and dalvik?

How did you root? May just be something wrong with your phone.
i had the same problem a while back. couldnt flash anything at all tho. had to unroot and wipe completely, and go stock for a day or two. everything has been flawless since.
I keep re-downloading the rom but every time at the end during the boot image flash I get an error. Installation aborts and I get nothing if I try to boot. Can anyone help with this?
Make sure you clear out everything good. I had an issue in the beginning and had to wipe the cache real good. No issues since
I have tried. I have done numerous cache wipes prior to install. I don't know what the deal is. Thanks for the advice though!
I guess this is probably a stupid question but, would not having an ext partition on my sd card stop the rom from flashing?

no having sd ext is fine. no problems as far as i know. but are you using Clockwork mod recovery? because the rom wont flash with clockwork you need amon-ra 2.3 there is something in the godmode scripts that is in an unsupported format for clockwork.

here is a link to the amon-ra recovery. if you have questions about how to install it feel free to pm me. btw you don't flash recovery's in a recovery so don't try to flash it in one
I'm gonna try that. I realised that I couldn't flash Mik's rom either. I think I may have an old recovery. Thank You! I was using Amon-RA. I think it was an old version though

yeah you might have been on 1.8 instead of 2.3 and if it still doesn't flash then its probably never going to. godmode seems to be tempermental with what phones it wants to work on and theres multiple people who no matter what they tried cant get it to flash. so cross your fingers and hope for the best
I had the same problem. Couldn't flash with cwm. So I flashed amon ra 2.3 and then flashed synergy rc2 god mode it took about 20 minutes but worked.

When you flash a new rom, you wipe everything, including data, meaning your phone will have nothing configured or setup, just like a brand new phone.

This is partially true. If you were to flash say.... Cm7.0.1 to Cm7.1, it doesn't wipe. It just updates. Or to better explain, if it's the same ROMs, usually you won't have to wipe. But from Froyo to Gingerbread I do believe it will wipe for you. Either way I would wipe anyway going from Froyo to GB. Most ROMs now have everything working. I'd personally recommend Decks 1.3d or CM7 #256 for AOSP. MikG or Kingdoms for Sense. I've heard good things about them. But I've never been a fan of Sense so.... Not much help there.

Technically true, however you should ALWAYS do a full wipe between flashing, even if you are flashing a rom update. I have always had problems when flashing an update and not wiping.

Some say yes, others no. Although it is safer to do it this way to avoid problems, i've never had issues. Hell, I've even went from Decks 1.3 to 1.3d with no problems

Hi Guys.. Im new and i was wondering how to switch from rom to rom correctly.. i had one by one team that was sense 3.5 and tried to flash one that was sense 3.0.. i was able to do it but i had both roms almost.. i still had some of the wall papers and apk.. i tried looking all over and no luck.. if anyone can help please pm me or write a response THANK YOU!
MIUI
Try MIUI, one of the best roms IMO. Runs good, and looks even better.
For some reason now, my phone won't take kernels anymore. I can install ROM's and everything else, but when i try and flash a different kernel my phone won't keep it. It will reboot fine, but when i go and look in the settings to see if the kernel is there it is not installed. I do the usual clear dalvik and the cache then flash the kernel. It says it installed it, but it doesn't. Has this ever happened to anyone else, and if so how do you fix it? I have also completely wiped the phone and that did not help either. I have a HTC EVO 4g. I hope someone can help me with this problem.
Hey Partyman this may sound silly but did you double check that you're not flashing the wrong kernel with the rom you're flashing?

Lewa OS. The kernel is mason gb v15. I never had a problem before until I used gruesome wolfs script that is supposed to clean everything to install a ROM.

keep in mind not every kernel will work with every custom rom, sometimes it will say installed but it really didnt. other times your phone just will boot loop at the white evo screen
Well just to let you know....Problem solved on installing kernel's. I changed over to Smelkus Mod and it worked perfect. My Anon RA must have went bad or something.
Mod can you please close this thread now. Thanks.
Tried IRC, so I'm going to try here also.
Anytime I use a ZVB or ZVC based ROM, the kernel crashes within 10-15 seconds of being flashed. No matter which of those based ROMs I use, I get the kernel crash in the same time period. I've tried different kernels as well, but none have worked. I've use Awesome's Kernel Cleaner each time before flashing the kernels, but get the same result.
Here's the kicker though, if I use any of the AOSP ROMs it will run fine. My only problem is there was no EFS backup, so I get no service, which pretty much makes using the 4.3.x+ ROMs useless. Basically, I'm trying to get back to stock ROMs so I can get service and save the EFS to use on the later ROMs. If I can even just get the ZVC ROM working that would be great too.
I'm not sure if there is a AOSP kernel stuck in there or something, and it's not clearing it out, or what is going on. I'm doing a complete wipe with data everytime I flash.
I appreciate any help, and thank you for taking the time to read!

Using 2.6.3.0, and wiping everything but SD card. Wiping 3x before installing ROM, gapps and kernel. Tried multiple stock based kernels. Can install CM or Slimbean and it will boot no problem, and work fine. It's just the stock ROMs, and tried Lifeless as well.

Tried that with the stock ZV9, ZVB and ZVC. Even used LG flash.
Here's an idea that came in my head. Maybe it's crashing when it tries to connect to the Sprint network. Since the AOSP ROMs never attempt to connect to it, they don't crash. But the stock ROMs do, so they crash when attempting.
If I'm not rooted, I get just a reboot. If I run SuperSU from TWRP before rebooting, then I get the Kernel Crash screen when it reboots.
