Changing Rome from virus gengersense

I flashed the kernel and Rom virus gingersense and was thinking about flashing a different Rom but was wondering if i make a backup before i flash do i still have to do all the steps i had to do to flash this Rom or will it automatically be done?

You need to backup that rom in recovery [in case you want to go back to it.]
To flash new rom:
-after backing up the current rom, wipe factory/data, cache, and dalvik cache
-flash rom in recovery
-if its a gingerbread rom, wipe cache and dalvik again, then flash the latest gapps.
-if you flash a custom kernel with it, wipe cache and dalvik cache again, then flash kernel
-reboot

Thanks i was asking cause i wanted to try out the miui roms and if i don't like them i would like to go right back to genger sense wit the kernel without going thru all those steps again

No problem. Just follow my steps and it'll bring you back to the gingersense. [after flashing miui, and if you want to switch back, just restore the backup of gingersense]
I would recommend naming them with a file explorer/mounted to a pc, because if you have multiple ones, you'll forget. Just don't use spaces in the names of the actual backup, and do not name the folder the backups are in.

Well backup the rom; make sure you have at least 500mb free space. Do a full wipe [factory/data, cache, dalvik cache], flash the new rom. Make sure you have more space, because the sense 2.1/3.0 can be big in backup size.

What happens when you try to flash another Rom?

I get stuck at the HTC evo 4g screen just stays white and wont boot I have wiped it numerous times and I get the same result never happend until I flashed the 1.2 stable I also did flash the vipermod and Google apps as well as available memory mod I found I had used that multiple times before as well

Wipe everything 3x, use Virus's CR super wipe after you manually wipe everything. Factory wipe, cache and delvik cache. That should clear everything out. Then flash a Rom. It sounds like something isn't getting wiped.

Well it says report to the recovery log to see what went wrong its preventing me from even Making a backup at all it says depot to recovery log to see what went wrong seems more serious no?

So because somethings not wiping properly that will give me an error telling me to view the recovery log and then prevent me from flashing different builds and making a nandroid backup I don't seem to see a link for the superwipe under virus I tried searching and i could not locate it is it on his website?

here you go.

If I were you, I'd backup my SD Card, format it, repartition it, if you're using partitions, and then copy the essentials back over. Specifically, you're nandroid folder, then reflash your Recovery, which hopefully, is Amon Ra.
Then either try to reflash one of your nandroids, although if it was me, I'd just copy the ROM you want first, and then try to flash that, and it if goes well, try a nandroid you have saved.
I've had this happen twice and both times, reflashing recovery did the trick

Alright ill try thanks alot everyone I appreaciate your help ill get back to you guys hopefully with good news

Well so there's no way I could just wipe it with recovery and flash it over cause apparently I'm not the only one with this issue and somebody said it has to do with partitions of my SD card I'm trying to look into it deeper.

You don't have to partition it; first reflash your recovery via PC36IMG image, then copy your sdcard to a pc, format it, then copy the files back over, try to restore a backup, or reflash the rom.

Cyanogen mod, cannot get google apps to load

I am loving cyanogen, but I am definitely missing something when I flash google apps. I get to the installation, but when I try to install it always gets interrupted. I try to skip it, but I cannot get back to it later, opening market does not work. How am I supposed to come back to install gapps later?

Re-download the gapps.zip, put it on your SD card, go into cwm > flash gapps.zip > reboot.
It should work. If not, then extract the zip and copy the .apks one-by-one to your SD card, and push them to your system/app. Not sure if that would actually work, but it's possible.

Reflashing doesn't do anything I just tried it again. The only way to get it to try installing again is to wipe data, then I have to sign back in and I get interrupted again. There is a way to cancel it to come back later but when I hit cancel I can't figure out how to come back.

you're making sure to flash the gapps.zip from the cwm recovery, right? it has to be on the root of your sdcard, then boot into recovery and go to "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip" -> scroll to gapps.zip

Yep I am doing it that way, just tried again right now and nothing happens on reboot unless I do a factory reset. If I just knew how to come back to it later it would be ok

1. Clear data, dalvik, cache - rinse and repeat 3 times total.
2. Re-odin EH17 stock, found in the dev forum. Let the phone boot to startup.
3. Boot into CWM recovery, flash the GAPPS file.
4. Restart phone - check to see if the flash took.
5. Boot into CWM recovery, clear dalvik, cache 3 times, flash CM7 over EH17 stock...
Let me know if this process works for you.
May or may not work, it would solve the problem temporarily for me but would soon have problems. I shortly moved away from CM7 to Urban Metamorphosis.

OK, thanks I might give that a try, if it was just a temporary fix for you though it will probably only work for a while for me too. Doesn't anyone know how to postpone running it? It says to do so right when the app runs, but no one knows how to do it?

You don't need to flash the GAPPS pack - only if you want to use the market, sync contacts etc. and use voice/maps so on. If you continually cannot get past try ODIN'ing a different modem. EH06 worked much better for me over EH17.

I'm uing eh06 modem. Never went to eh17
Anyways, I downloaded all the gapps from the market one by one. I flashed the zip and they didn't show up so I did it the long way

[Q] Uncompressing rom

Im trying to flash the evo classic rom and it keeps telling me it won't open. I looked at the rom and its compressed so I thought that could be the problem. I tried uncompressing it with astro and it wouldn't work. Does anyone know if I can flash a compressed rom or why my phone can't open it? Currently I'm running myns warm 2.2.

All ROMs are compressed into a .zip you probably have a bad download or you downloaded the update which requires a previous version of classic to be installed check your md5 sum if it matches make sure the rom doesn't have update in the name it should just say classic and the version number v0.0.4 0.0.5 0.0.6 etc
We are legion, for we are many

I'm not sure what the md5 sum is or how to check it. I downloaded classic-v005-01-02-finale-senseless.
I'm not sure if thats just an update or what. Thanks

If you double click the .zip, does it open or say invalid?
if it's invalid, it's a bad download. Re download and try again.
Good luck
Seems to be a full rom.

That's the full rom try redownloading it,you did do a full wipe correct? Make sure you wipe all options except SDCARD and Battery Stats everything else wipe I always wipe everything 3x -5x depending on if I'm switching from sense to aosp or just flashing a different rom

[Q] Messed up evo PLEASE HELP

My evo cannot install apk's and whenever i boot up a rom i downloaded from my computer it randomly reboots. The rom's I tried were Alter rom and elite series resurected. The only roms i got to work were evo classic and dark light. Please help me.
Some backstory. It all started when i flashed Evo classic last night and I did not have the Google Play Store. I decided to get an APK. What I did was got an APK from a thread on XDA I tried to install it through the Downloads app but it froze up my phone and just rebooted. I tried this several other times with no luck.
Thanks in advance.

Some roms you have to flash google proprietary files.

You did not say that you made a nandroid back up of your phone, have you? If not, you just experienced why you should start.
What recovery are you using? Have you tried wiping dalvik and cache to see if that helps?
More details on what you did to get yourself in this situation would be helpful.

I did that. For dark light i used ICS Gapps. And when I rebooted there was no play store. Also for Classic sense I went through setup, and there was no playstore.
I am thinking this could be a Sd card issue.

You can't flash ICS on anything below 4.0. It won't work
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I tried sense 1.0 and I had a Android backup of dark light I tried to go back to that but no market so I used am on ra to fix permissions then I installed gaaps and there was a market. But when I install an app or apk my phone reboots.

If it were me, I'd:
1) Backup the files on SD
2) In Recovery: Reformat/re-partition SD
3) Copy a ROM .zip to SD
4) In Recovery: Flash ROM
5) In Recovery: Save recovery.log to SD
6) Post recovery.log here
If you do this with AlterROM, you'll need to use the Save Log option at the end of the installer.

Thanks but I think I found out the problem what I did was install a rom ran gaaps went into recovery fixed permissions took out my SD card booted up the phone downloaded something from the market put my SD back in and everything worked. Also I tried AlterRom but when I got done with aroma and booted it up there was no launcher. So what I am thinking is that its an SD card issue. And other help would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading my tome of knoledge . Any help is appreciated.
