[Q] Cannot install new rom or restore backup - please help!

Help!
I have a rooted Evo that I had MikG 3.11 on. I was in the process of flashing a new Rom: Energy_3.15.2012.Sensation.Sense.3.6_ICS.zip when just a short way into it, it rebooted back to recovery.
I'm using RA-supersonic-v2.3 for recovery.
To begin the flashing process, I:
Wipe CACHE
Wipe DALVIK-CACHE
Wipe BOOT
Wipe SDCARD:.android_secure
Wipe SDEXT
Honestly, I can't recall whether I also wiped SYSTEM or not and am wondering if I did and that created my problem?
The last thing I did was Wipe ALL userdata/factory reset.
Then I attempted to flash the new rom.
After the flash failed, I wiped All userdata/factory reset again and tried the flash the rom again. Of course, it failed again.
Then I tried to restore my nand backup of MikG3.11 and it did the exact same thing. It showed about 2 dots of the restore process and then rebooted again.
I have no idea what I did wrong or what I should do next.
While waiting for one of the experts here on XDA to help, I'm going to pull my sdcard and back it up.
Please help! Thanks.

I had an old nand of Myns rom from last May and it restored just fine. Wheh!
Now I'm trying to Wipe all and restore my current MikG nand and am getting an error when formatting SDEXT
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(Invalid argument)
Error mounting /sd-ext/!
Skipping format...
Any ideas what would be causing this?

I mounted SD-EXT and then wiped it and that seemed to do the trick. I was able to nand back to MikG.
I have no ideas what may have happened or why the phone was behaving like it was. I've never seen that before.
Before attempting to flash Energy rom again, I'll redownload it I guess.

I'm not sure why you think flashing that Energy ROM is a good idea. It's for the Sensation. I think you missed that in the title. The EVO doesn't have an ICS Sense ROM available.
Just be happy you didn't brick your phone trying to flash a ROM for an incorrect device on it. That's what messed up your partitions/mount points.

I did all wipes except dalvik cache, because when I open that option the recovery goes back to the initial menu again.
and what about the backup thing?

you need to revert filesystem back to rfs(i am working for a convert tool but need some time,so you'd better follow the guide)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1915998
then Flash clockworkmod recovery→restore

I'm assuming you are dirty flashing? Try backing up any data you need manually and clean flashing. Also check md5 just to be sure

reply
Hi by dirty do you mean running the phone and using it on a daily basis then going to recovery mode and then going update?
Md5 is good

I believe dirty flashing is where you don't wipe everything on the phone before a rom flash.

reply
Yeah its dirty updates so you recommend backing up data and doing a clean update also what's a fast way to backup apps and media

You could use titanium backup or similar. Clean flash is: from recovery, wipe system, data, cache, dalvik/art cache, then install rom and gapps etc.
