Alright. I have a couple questions.
1) I forgot which partitions and caches I am supposed to wipe before flashing a rom. Does anyone mind reminding me?
2) I just rooted my Evo 4G with Revolutionary.io and it installed that revolutionary custom CWM. Am I allowed to flash the normal version of CWM or will it just screw everything up?
Thanks!
Wipe data!,wipe cache! Wipe dalvik cache !! Super easy then flash flash
...
alright.... so now what about the revolutionary.io question?
You can flash any recovery you like. Amon Ra, TWRP, or CWM

I rooted my 2.2 yesterday and lost usb charging and usb connection. I bought a sdcard reader and installed the pc36img file and reflashed my rom. When I rooted I did unrevoked3 and unrevoked forever. After flashing pc36img I rerooted with unrevoked3 and still show s-off on unrevoked forever. I did the OTA 2.2 update and lost root, I was able to flash clockwork mod. I am trying to get super user privilages back, so I did a nan backup and downloaded a few different roms. when I try to flash any rom i get stuck in a reboot loop. any help on what to do about loop problem or how I can get super user back would be awesome. thank you. :/
Did you do a factory / cache / dalvik wipe before flashing the custom ROMs?

Thanks for the help guys
That did it up and rooted AWESOME! Thanks so much everyone! sometimes it is just the simple things.
Sup ya'll I just upgraded to psfservicemod recovery 0.3.3. I wanted to change my kernel. So I went and wiped cache..it worked, then I went to wipe dalvik and it froze. Nothing going on on the screen. So I battery pulled and tried again. Freezed again on dalvik wipe. Klutsh says its based off clockwork 2.5.1.8. Anything I can do or do I havd to switch my recovery??
Also a seperate question...do nandroids backup your recovery to??? Thanks guys
Evo - Myn 2.2 RLS 3 - Clockwork - HBoot .76
???? Help
Evo - Myn 2.2 RLS 3 - Clockwork - HBoot .76
Hey the author site is down and there are 0 mirrors, any chance you can do me a solid and upload 0.3.3 for supersonic?
Please also accept my apology for not having any insight on either of your questions, if I knew I'd tell you. Honestly I've never done a manual wipe like that.
I don't know anything about clockwork or the recovery you are using. I can answer that if you use AmonRA 2.3 recovery you can backup your recovery partition.
I have been trying to flash the new Gingerbread Sense v5.9.4 by RCMixHD. I am coming from my rooted Evo 4g with Cm7 Stable.
I have placed the .zip on my SD card, rebooted into recovery, wiped cache, wiped, davlik cache, and wiped data. I then flashed the .zip file, it went through everything, said it was installed, reboot, and enjoy. I reboot and It boots right back into Cm7.
I have tried this through Rom Manager wiping all data and cache with the same results.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm pretty new at this, and would love to know what I'm doing wrong or how to correct this problem?
Thanks!
What recovery are you using? If it is not amon RA v2.3, I highly recommend that you download and flash its PC36IMG.zip from the bootloader screen. Obviously, your current recovery is not wiping properly. Try again, but wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card and then flash the rom again.

Can I find that with the link to the Radio on your signature?
You can indeed use the link in my signature to download and flash amon RA v2.3 recovery.

Well before flashing the ROM did you create a back up?
And when ever your flashing a ROM your suppose to do a FULL WIPE not just cache and dalvik
no used to doing this on droidx and i would just start from scratch if a flash didnt go through good
i read you cant flash roms with unrevoked is that true ? i can also still get into clockwork recovery should i just try another rom ?
You can flash roms fine with revolutionary and the version of cwm it installs. Try booting to recovery wipe data cache and dalvik cache, reflash ROM and boot to system.

Flash the ROM first do the theme later
Which recovery are you on? If it's TWRP: Get Amon_ra and wipe BOOT: and System: then clear data then just flash rom. It will work. I promise.
Um, you need to have the ROM installed before you can flash a theme for that same ROM.
ALSO, I strongly recomend flashing AmonRA 2.3 to your phone before doing anything else.
If you are going to use Synergy, please follow the directions for partitioning the sd card. Simply copy your sd card stuff onto your computer, format the sdcard then partition it. Then you can copy everything back to the sd card from your puter. It will make life a whole lot easier and faster.

I have a rooted HTC Evo 4G. It is rooted with revolutionary and the s-off. I didn't root my device. I was playing with trying to install busybox from the busy box installer. It failed. But now that I have rebooted the phone(swapped a new battery on). It is stuck on the HTC EVO 4G white screen. I can get to the hboot screen and can get into recovery for Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4. I have tried some stuff. I'm here so it's safe to assume nothing worked. I have wiped the cache partition, I have tried the Fix Permissions option, Wiped Dalvik cache, wipe data/factory reset. I am knowledgeable with computers. Just not sure about this issue or which direct to go.
What can I do to get the phone back operational? Is there an image i can put on the sdcard and flash this thing with? I think I can manage that.
I'm so late in the rooting game here, there is so much information, not sure what I'm looking at. So I thought I would just go ahead and ask the questions. Maybe I won't get beat up too much and get pointed in the right direction.
I'm sure someone here can help you. A detail that you may have left out in your explanation is: what ROM you expect the phone to boot into.
Sounds like you just need to re-flash a ROM while you are in recovery.
Plenty of ROMs around here to choose from. I might recommend a very simple "stock" ROM for starters.
Later on, consider using a different recovery going forward. Evos historically have had issues with CWM. Try Amon Ra or SmelkusMOD...
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
Yup, I would recommend Smelkus after you fix this
Go into recovery and make a full backup first (this way you can advance restore data later)
Then, as suggested above, grab a stock rom and flash it through recovery (making sure to wipe EVERYTHING)
Last, try to boot up your phone. It should work
Once it does, restore any data if you need to...if not, flash SmelkusMod recovery and then flash your rom of choice

I have the revolutionary recovery. Do I need to replace that with the smelkus mod?

You have the revolutionary BOOTLOADER. There is no "revolutionary recovery"

If you've wiped cache, dalvik cache, and factory reset your phone then you have no ROM to boot into. Flash a rom and you'll be good to go

Thats incorrect....the rom isn't stored on the data partition, which is what a factory reset wipes
ROMs are loaded from the /system partiton

I was assuming he had formatted everything, including the system. If you didn't, my bad. Sorry
