[Q] ROMS Don't Boot. Help. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

EVO4G Hardware Version 0003 Rooted but Running Stock Sprint Rom.
Hey guys, I've been rooted for a while. I've ran CM6 CM7, The Alpha Kingdom from Virus. All worked fine... Lately whenver I've flashed a sense ROM it doesn't seem to boot. The B1 and the B1.1 from Virus for the Kingdom ROM gets to the "HTC EVO 4G" screen and d oesn't go past it. The exact same thing happens with Fresh 3.5.0.1 which worked perfectly fine before since it was my regular ROM. Last ROM I flashed was Kush's 2.3.4 and it Booted and Ran fine.
I have 100MB internal free currently. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I'll be very appreciative of any help.

you internal memory doesn't really matter because when you flash a new rom you should be clearing all your cache and doing a factory reset while in recovery before flashing the rom. From the sounds of it this should fix your problem with no being able to flash most roms.

Went from CR 6.1.1 back to Warm 2.2 having problems

Basically when I install the warm 2.2 rom it will hang on the htc evo screen. I had flashed this rom earlier this morning and it flashed fine. Ever since I've flashed CR 6.1.1 this afternoon i've been having problems. Even my baked snack 1.9 rom is very slow but comes up after either sitting at the Green HTC text after it has booted. I had to power down the phone a few times to even get that to come up. Is there something I'm doing wrong here all the sudden? I am clearing davlik and partition cache, even tried to wide data/restore to no avail. I'm at a loss here. Anyone have any input here? As I type this, I just did a complete wipe and tried to install Warm 2.2 and it is just sittin at the white screen that says HTC EVO 4G. Powered down a few times and removed battery for a minute to no avail, still just sits at that white screen.
I am able to restore from nandroid. I am also able to isntall a few roms.
Thanks

Uh, what kernel/radios are you using? I had similar problems when I flashed the all in one radio combo in calk's thread.
That is exactly what I did too, flashed the radios. How did you resolve that issue? I dind't even think that would cause these types of problems.
I just put on Fresh 3.5 and it installed fine. I am using kernel 2.6.32.17-gee557fd (under it says [email protected] #15 (Which kernel would that be?) PRI is 1.90_003
Well I downgraded the radio to2.15.00.09.01 and I got past the white screen and into warm. THanks much!! I had no idea that a radio would just cause it to hang like that. So the only way to revert back to an old radio file is to install it? A nanrestore doesn't do that it appears??
Thanks very much

[Q] Wifi/GPS doesn't work in any custom rom

When I rooted my Epic 4g installed a custom rom my wifi and gps would stop working. I installed the modem and I was using dx28.
I also tried rooting my brothers epic 4g to see that its not just not my phone and I came across similar results. I followed the forums step by step.
I got so fed up that I returned the phone to stock forum, however I am getting a little impatient on Samsung to bring 2.2 because 2.3 is already out and 3.0 is coming pretty soon it seems.
The Roms I tried were, Nebula ROM, ViperRom, Bonsai, SyndicateROM, Supernova..
Even using just the stock 2.2 froyo leak I still have the same problem. Am I doing something wrong here?
Even if you flashed everything correctly, this is caused by the modem. Start from scratch. DI18, DK28 Modem, whatever instructions you were given.
I had the same problem with my GPS..
To get mine working.. I flashed to stock DI18 then Flashed the modem separately (DK28 moden only) then Flashed to Full DK28.. then custom ROM
This was helpful as well...
http://forum.androidcentral.com/epi...s/47362-four-ways-fix-gps-problems-froyo.html
thirdly.. try clearing the GPS cache wtih GPSTest (found in Market)
I had to odin the DI18 then flash the DK28 update.zip to get mine to work correctly.

[Q] LeeDroid HD V3.0.3 GB crash after install

Having trouble with the latest LeeDroid HD ROM have flashed many LeeDroid roms before without issue but for some reason aftering clearing all caches and running the latest rom it will install ok but on reboot it just hangs on the White HTC screen and won't boot in.
Any Ideas what could be causing it?
Currently Running LeeDroid HD v3.0.1, LeeDroid Kernel v3.1.1 radio 12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2
Make sure you're deleting all data do a full factory reset (deletes all data does not actually restore to factory condition) then clear the dalvik cache, re apply the ROM make sure its CLEAN and you haven't modified it, don't apply any themes or anything, then let it boot and be patient.
Try downloading it again also it could be a corrupt download.

I had similar issue few days back. But i had the Leedroid rom (same rom,kernel as urs) already runing flawlessly for a few days. It decided just to hangs at the same HTC Screen... tried to clear caches(all), hard reset, reflash same rom... still stuck same place. I finally had to flash stock 1.32 image, root all over again, etc. ... and flash Leedroid (same) again... works fine now
I got the feeling that I made my friends with their stock DHD and Iphone users drooling and jealous of my phone(csutomised with sense 3.0 stuffs), and they collectively jinxed my phone, and had this crash! lolz
btw. i flashed SAME rom i had on my sdcard, so I think the rom fine(mine at least). just something triggered that crash!
all the best...
Yea i tried reflashing from stock rom the other day loaded up one of the RUU exe's and rerooted etc and tried to reflash with no luck so i'm all out of ideas

Have also done factory reset and cleared dalvik cache etc. no joy
Just managed to find a copy of LeeDroid HD V3.0.2 have installed and found it also crashes but.... it gets to the LeeDroid Android screen, little further but unfortunately still crashes
Managed to get 3.0.3 working on my DHD turns out it was just down the cwm version i had, updated to 3.0.2.5 and boom worked first time =D only problem i have had with both 3.0.1 and 3.0.3 is the camera keeps dropping out, app doesn't force close but the screen keeps going black and all buttons dissapear then all comes back... =( Atleast i'm up to date though
Any Idea's on the Cam issue?
have run logcat and noticed the following in the log
W/mm-camera( 1400): config_proc_CAMERA_STOP_SNAPSHOT: state is not correct ctrl->state = 25 W/mm-camera( 1400): VFE_RESET_ACK illegal ctrl->state 24
dunno if that makes any sense to anyone
tinkered with it a little last night didn't seem to make a difference so left it over night and for some odd reason works fine this morning i think the issue was down the camera app itself but it looks to be working fine now thankfully
UPDATE:
Ok looks like the issue is still there found out what is causing it thought, the camera works fine but...only when wifi is off, if you turn wifi back on you get the same issue as before,
Please anyone got an idea on wtf?
UPDATE2: have worked out it must be the camera app due to the fact i download a different app which appeared to work fine. Not sure why there's a glitch though

Problems flashing MikG roms

I have been trying all day to flash MikG 2.4 and 2.5, neither with any success. I wipe everything completely, sometimes 2 and 3 times just to be sure and am using Amon 2.3. With both 2.4 and 2.5 (I tried to redownload both as well just to check) the rom flashes fine, boots to the white splash screen, goes through the boot animation, appears to start the operating system but gets a little ways, and then reboots. This happens over and over continuously. I really would love to use this rom but can't get it to boot. Any ideas?
As an aside, I tried to recover a kingdom E3 Shooter 3d backup that I made a few weeks back and the same thing is happening, it will load partially up and then go into a bootloop. All other Roms I have recovered (CM7, fresh, etc.) all work fine.
bump......
I thought it was just me.I had the same problem with the shooter 3d. I just reflashed the old Rom I was using. Maybe its something wrong with the ROM.

Problems flashing RunnyDrOiD v5.0 By PVTEAM

I've been trying to figure out for the last hour or so why this rom hasn't been flashing correctly.
1. I've already loaded DZ HBoot onto the phone with S-OFF and had loaded the SenseGinger 3.0 Rom. Loved the layout but it was kinda slow for me. So that's when i was looking up other roms and found RunnyDrOiD v5.0 By PVTEAM.
2. next thing I did was download the Rom Manager, Flashed ClockworkMod Recovery sucessfully and selected install rom from sd card, (in which I had loaded the RunnyDroid rom on my sd card already.
3. Im in Recovery, wiped data, and the installation started. The problem I'm facing is that the installation says it was sucessful and says Rebooting, but the progress bar in the background is still going (looks like it was at 25%). Phone Reboots. Now it'll first start up with the HTC Logo, shuts off, then reboots again with the HTC Logo then goes back to clockworkmod recovery. I attempted to do it again, but still have the same results.
Anyone have any idea that I'm facing this problem? I really hope I can get this on my phone as the RunnyDroid rom looks really clean looking, and with other users reporting it to be fast, It's driving me nuts that I can test this rom out! *sad panda*
Anyone's help or support is greatly appreciated.
actually lock this thread. found out what the problem was. I flashed the wrong hboot. Be sure to use the DZ HBOOT FOR ANYONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. Thank you all anyway.
