ok, this has gone far enough!!!!
i recently flashes from Virus' kingdom to R2R lightning 1.1 and thing were great for about 2 weeks, the i flashed the V6 script (i know you cant flash a script, just used flash for lack of better word).
A few days later i noticed dramatic slow down, & after trying everything in the book , decided to switch roms. I went for the new 3.5 port the Kingedrunny 0.2, then about an hour later, i re flashed 0.3 using the firerat method & BAM bootloop.
I've formatted, wiped , superwiped, re partitioned, but i cant ge a 3.0 rom to flash.
I've managed to get Sense 2. whatever roms to flash without a prob, and even got a sac's 7 rom to work from an old nandroiid backup, but nothing new will work.
I ultimately end up hung at the boot screen, waiting on a sign from the phone gods., & the sac's 7 back up is setup with metropcs setting (no good now that im on boost).
any help would be great,since Im going gray trying to figure this one out.
UPDATE:
I GOT IT!!!!!!!
dont know if this helped but,
installed an old micro sd
Found a thread about fixing a unrecognized sd card

For one, those are big ROMS. Are you using a partitioned SD Card with A2SD?? I'd recommend it.
sd card is partitioned, 32 swap 2gb ext 2 & 3, using 2.3 & clockwork. ive been stuck at the boot screen for 33 min & the phone is fully charged. its another post here with the same problem. ive never installed cm7 on this evo , so that cant be a factor.
Use amon ra as your recovery instead. Go download virus superwipe zip. Wipe everything. Flash the superwipe. Flash your ROM and you'll be chillin. Cm7 has nothin to do with your flashing process

ill give it a try, but i think i finally bricked it . i can only go into boot loader, ive tried flashing a ra recovery img , but thats what i think bricked it. gonna try to use a stock ruu to retore everything over & start from scratch.
That's a good idea. Run the RUU,. use Amon Ra, and you don't NEED those superwipes. Just wipe everything except SD Card in Amon Ra and you'll be fine. (And don't wipe battery stats if your battery isn't at 100%)
Still no good, but i did manage to get recovery running again. Never tried the ruu, dont wanna chance screwing up the meid since its on boost. I think ill do a nandroid backup of the rom i have running now, then try another 3.0 rom if that doesnt do it then ill bite the bullet
ok, ive come to the conclusion that i've managed to corrupt my system (it came to me in a dream). not sure how i did it, but its the only thing that makes sense. im unable to flash any rom with ANY element of sense 3.0.
the question now is how do i repair my system files & file structure without totally bricking my phone
If you ever use firerat and want to remove it, get amon RA 2.3. Drop the pcimg36.zip on the root of the SD. Reboot into hboot and load the recovery from there. It will reapply the amon RA recovery.
Firerat. Mods the recovery, so to remove it you have to start from scratch,with a new recovery install.
....wipe....flash your rom of choice...
good to know, this gave me hell. too bad you didnt tell me week and a half ago lmao
King's shooter is working pretty well for me. On v4 hardware.

I will admit that I am a noob at this so... bear with the noobness
I have rooted my 3.30 EVO and have installed the Cyanogen 6.1.2 ROM. I backed up my nandroid and wiped using the partition option and the factory option as instructed in every tutorial. Cyanogen 6.1.2 works great in itself, the problem I'm running into is trying to install any CM themes...
I've tried installing the Project_BlissHD-v2.0_EVO_CM_6.1.2_signed theme .zip for CM 6.1.2 through the recovery (not even sure if this is the right way to do it), but every time I try, it tells me that the installation is aborted.
I wipe before each try and have even completely restored a backup and reinstalled with no success.
I have searched and searched for a thread that could help, as I didn't want to have to post a question if I could avoid it. So, how to I apply specific themes through CM? Here's what I've got:
ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.2
Build 3.30.651
Used Unrevoked 3.3
And again, please forgive the noobness....
Clockwork 3.0.0.2 is only compatible with the new hboot. If you're on the old hboot, roll back to 2.5 and try it again.
I had the same problem .. I made a thread about it .. I'm about to try what BIG CHEEZE suggested
I use Amon_Ra ,myself. I would suggest using that one perhaps since it does a better job emptying the delvik cache.
Cheese, I'll try your suggestion about the rollback. I can just do that right in clockwork, correct? If that doesn't work, I'll try Jason's suggestion. Jason, which amon ra version?
And thanks to both of you!
Just use ROM Manager to roll back. You can flash Amon RA through ROM Manager as well.
You're welcome.
Use version 1.8 since I've been hearing some weird things about 1.9.
hummm
i get "An error occured while flashing your recovery" error when i tried to rollback to 2.5.1.4
I'm going to flash RA 1.8 right now.... let you know how she goes.
Ok, so here is how it went:
Flashed AmonRa 1.8 through Clockwork
Success
Booted into AmonRa recovery. Backed up a fresh nand, wiped DATA, CACHE and Delvik. Installed Cyanogen 6.1.2
Success
Cyanogen boots.
Success
Boot back into AmonRa. Repeat all the wipes. Proceed to install BlissHD pack for CM. Installs succesfully.
CM attempts to boot again, but just gets hung up on the splash screen, repeating a new splash every 3 seconds or so. Rebooted several times to see if that would help. No dice. Restored back up nand and am back to square one.
Suggestions?
It sounds like the theme you want is not gonna work with the stock cm6.1.2 kernel...my suggestion would be to try a different theme
I recommend barnacles10 ginger bread theme.

Also when you flash a theme...be patient on its first boot. Restarting during a boot that is loading files for your droid has had horrible results with my experience.
I was flashing a radio update and thought that boot loop was frozen..so I pulled the battery..restarted..and was stuck on the boot screen..then my battery dies while in the process of using hboot...and my usb cord wouldn't charge the battery..so I had to wait 7 days for a standalone battery charger to be shipped

That's kind of where I figured I was heading, jst. I'm going to play around with it tonight and I'll let you know tomorrow how it went. Might try completely different mods too... thinking about fresh.
Again, thanks a lot guys. BIG help.
The theme works great with cm 6.1.2. There are many people using it right now. I'm unsure of what could be happening here. Some phones are just picky. Mine for instance bootloops with any of myns roms as well as virus rom but I have no problems with other roms. I'm sorry my theme didn't work out for you.

Hey, it's no sweat! I've seen all the pics of your theme and I really wanted it. It's slick as all-hell, lol. And as for certain phones being picky, that's more than likely the case with my EVO. Since day one, my phone won't charge if turned off, and if I plug it in while it's off, I have to remove the battery to get it to turn on again.
Don't need to apologize to me... I should be thanking you for making something like this accessible to me!!!
You need the correct amonra recovery.

mikfroyo evo, with a side of aloysius 5 !
Alright, think I know whats up... I decided to humor a thought I had and install a fresh Cyanogen after a nand backup. I installed 6.1.2 and then installed the Gingerbread as recommended by jst. Only this time, I didn't wipe before I installed the theme. Worked like a charm. I'm going to try this with other themes too and see how it goes.

I got it to work fine by not wiping before theme install, just mod install. t3, your theme looks awesome on my EVO. Thanks!!!
i have an evo that i rooted... and flashed clockworkmod.. newest.. then i tryied installing a sense HD Rom but it just installs the boot splash screen and after the animation its just a lit black screen... so i decided to flash RA recovery from Rom manager and i forgot to nand back up.. i flashed echoHD Rom and same thing it just booted the animation and thats it.. it dosnt load the Rom.. my main problem is that im trying to go back to stock because i forgot to backup.. but i dont know which pc36img.zip file to get... my phone is S-OFF, 2.10, android 2.2, and some 3.6 or 3.7 thing.. and version 003.. please help.. some one direct me to the .zip download to flash from recovery to go back to stock.. at least from there i can either root again if i loose it or install rom manager and restore from my previous restores.. oh yea.. i forgot to mention that.. i have 2 restore saved in my SD but from clockworkmod recovery.. and dont work when trying to restore with RA.. please help...
i downloaded this .zip... withh this one work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791019
yeah you can't go from clockwork to amon ra, and use the same backups. you have to download rom manager again and flash back to CW then you can boot into recovery and you'll be able to access your backups. As far as un-rooting, once you are rooted you should be good, have you tried wiping all data and formatting your cache before flashing? if not that may be a good place to start, once rooted as long as you can access your recovery, i would just move forward and find a good Rom that works well with your device. I run MIUI .1.21.2 with 1.6 cfs sbc kernel and it runs amazing on my 003 hardware device
thanks... well i managed to recover flashing that .zip and im now restoring to the one i had saved from clockworkmod... soo im very happr.. i was scared out of my life...
now about those roms... ive triedflashing as i said the sense HD roms but no luck.. what could be the problem.. are there any out there that will work for my type of devive with these new updates...?
i dont really like the muiu rom.. im obsessed with the sense HD type that has the skins and stuff like that.. i hope when the thunderbolt from verizon comes out .. since its cdma someone will port its sense HD to the evo..
What happens when you flash those specific ROMs? Tried changing around your kernel/radio combination? Sometimes it takes a little tweaking to get it running stable.
As far as boot sticking on the boot animation, you have to wipe data and dalvik-cache before installing
Heres my situation...Im currently running MIUI 1.3.4 ROM. I finally decided to try out another rom so I choose Warm Two Point Two RLS 5. So I downloaded that as well as radio/wimax update zip that was said on thread to flash w/ rom.Heres EXACTLY wat I did: (1st) Did a Nandoid backup (2nd)did a full wipe...data/factory reset...cache...then dalvik (3rd) flashed Warm 2pt2 ROM (4th) in same recovery session wiped cache...then dalvik and flashed radio/wimax update(was told to wait for for radios to flash..would see little green arrow/phone icon which I did (5th) then I rebooted. So my problem is after doing all that it rebooted back to my MIUI rom and NO new rom was installed! Dont get what I did wrong! I hav not had problems flashing different kernels on the MIUI rom but struck out on starting with fresh install to change roms. So can anybody give me advice on this matter?
are you using clockwork? try RA.
Try it again. Or maybe try flashing the radios first, then the rom.
Flash calkulin's format all, then flash the radios, then myn's rom, then reboot. Nothing else, and do it all within one recovery session.
The format all will wipe all the things you did, plus system and one other. It's usually just a good idea to do whenever you switch actual rom's.

yes I used unrevoked 3 to root my phone so im runnin clockwork. So if I wanted to change recovery...how wud I go about doin that?
It was said on the install instructions in the thread I got the warm's two point two rom from to flash rom first then radio/wimax update. Does it really matter or will I mess up my phone if I do it the other way?

try clockwork again, except in your step (2) when you get to wipe dalvik hit yes, let it load, then hit restore boot at top....let it load, then when it returns to main, hit chose zip and flash...
..or in clockwork scroll down to alternate recovery...hit it should change to RA. MAY need to be the paid version i forget.
you could also do the other suggestions.
Edit...as for the updates it won't matter if the radios and ROM are up to date.
Well thts wat I mean as far as I kno Im not a sense rom if im runnin MIUI which is a AOSP rom. Thats why Im askin if flashing the radio/wimax update before the the Warm's rom wud do anything to my phone? I already hav the Calkulin's format all zip on my sd card so I will try tht but before I do I just need to kno if its ok to flash update before rom.
You are fine to flash the radio/wimax before flashing the rom.
Well I finally got the warms rom to flash. It ended up being a corrupted zip file on my sd card. So I deleted it and downloaded it again on my sd card then flashed...so everything is workin now....YEH!!!! Thanks everyone for the advice...much appreciated!
Glad you got it working...and that's the end of that chapter.
ok i was running cyanogenmod 7 ex- destroyer and i nandroid backup wiped (data/cache/delvic cache) flashed mike froyo v4.5, and now anytime i flash a rom or back up its in an endless boot animation loop. the only rom i can flash is a stock rom. I miss my cm7 ex can anyone help please.
are you using clockworkmod 3... or 2.5 there have been some issues with 3. version if you are on 3., you should go back to 2.5 and try calkulins allformat.zip, it erases data,cache,dalvik, and partitions, it works every time i have a problem flashing a new rom, you can find it in his thread just look for calkulin, have your new room in sd to flash after wipe
Download amon RA v2.3 in the form of PC36IMG.zip from amon's thread. I don't have the link handy. Place the zip file on the root of your hard drive and turn off your EVO. Simultaneously press the down volume button and the power button until your device starts. The bootloader will load and automatically detect the zip file and prompt you to install. Follow the easy prompts to install. Installation will take less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot into recovery, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING in it except the SD card itself. Now go into the flash menu and flash the rom of your choice. You should no longer have bootlooping issues unless your radios need reflashing.

Actually its a kernel issue, ASOP kernels normally don't like sense kernels, and you'll get a boot loop.

Did I miss where he said something about using a Sense kernel on an AOSP ROM or vice versa?
I thought he was on CM7 and wanted to flash MikFroyo. No mention of kernels.
ok i tried the calukin format and it didnt reflashed. i was running clockwork 2.6 and i even tried 3.0 and nothing.. i just updated to amon ra and im going to get back to if it works...
yea i was running cm7 but i was reading about mikefroyo and heard it was fast and wanted to see if it was faster than cm7. and to me it wasnt so when i flashed back to cm7 i started getting a boot loop
Okay. Remember to wipe EVERYTHING in the wipe menu EXCEPT the SD card itself. Do it twice for good measure. You do not need Calkulin's format-all zip.

So I have my EVO rooted w/ unrevoked since last years launch. I have run Fresh ROM's up until about 6mon ago when I installed CM7 RC1, then 7.0, then 7.0.2. Last night I decided I wanted to try Synergy or Fresh again, so I updated Clockwork backed up the phone, then installed Synergy.
Everything went fine, wiped Cache/User/Dalvik, installed then rebooted. I was stuck at the Unrevoked splash screen, and about every 20seconds It would reboot and continue the cycle. I battery pulled went to Clockwork and Tried my Fresh ROM, did the same thing. Ok, So i said screw it, im gonna restore it. So I navigate Clockwork to the location i backed up to, then restore.
After a reboot, the unrevoked screen would just stay frozen forever, no ROM booting. So I still had my CM7.0.2 on the card that i flashed 5 months ago, and all be damned it worked back up and running in minutes, whew.
So this morning I am back at it, trying to install fresh again, and im going back throught the same unrevoked spalsh screen boot loop. Any help on figuring out what is wrong?

You cannot install synergy with clockworkmod. It must be installed with amon ra. This is stated in the original post of the synergy thread.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
Ok I guess I didnt see that part about Synergy. Howerver I just tried to install the latest Fresh rom, and it was doing the same thing (rebooting at the Unrevoked Screen).
However I was able to flash to the latest Cyanogen 7.0.3 Stable for EVO, so until I find a solution, I guess I am stuck w/ that in the meantime.

I would still try flashing Ra Recovery and seeing if you can flash Fresh ROM.
Also it could be ur SD card. Alot of times its not partitioned right or what not. I know cm7 leaves SD card alone for most part.
free the dirk
The solution is to get Amon Ra, so you can wipe properly and partition your SD card properly
might wanna wipe boot as well...usually fixes issues in such cases.

Last I used CWM you could not wipe boot without a custom script (ie. Calkulins format all, or VR_Superwipe)

Amon RA recovery has that option under the wipe menu.
But then Calkulins format all or VR_Superwipe are good too. Gets the job done.
This is all very helpfull, I am going to try some of that in the next few days. I really didn't have any idea that SD partitions can effect the boot of a phone, Ill read about that as well.
Today I managed to get the Latest Stable CM 7.0.3 on my phone, but the experimental 7.1 wouldn't load, so I am going to stick with that. One of those things when you feel like you have read everything before you start upgrading, then you miss something and all goes to hell. Thanks for the help everybody.

Yes I know this. I use ra recovery. However the OP uses CWM which is why I assumed you were instructing her to do this with clockwork.
