Hi, i recently flashed miui rom and it was good but i wanted to go back to synergy rom. In the process, i flashed and it said installed successfully. However, it stood on the boot screen and just froze there. SO i tried another rom and it did the same thing. Then i tried another and it still didn't go. The only rom that seems to flash and work is MIUI rom. Any explanations on how i can fix this?
Re flash a pc36img of ra 2.3, then wipe EVERYTHING except the sd card. That should work, if not I'll post what I really had to do to fix it

clean out your sd card first, and then at the rom you want to flash. wipe everything off. and then try it. if you have 2 many things in your sd card like roms. it messes with the flash of a new rom. it happened to me

You can try this superwipe zip just flash it before you flash the ROM its made by virus it will wipe any old files you don't need off your sd card and do all the wipes for flashing 3 times for you.
You still want to do all the wipes your self also.

I flashed the new amon ra and it stood at the boot screen again. I even did that superwipe but no luck either Do you think that ill need to unroot and root again?

Kinda sounds like your not doin it right you shouldn't have a problem flashing after you use the superwipe step by step what exactly are you doing when your flashing?

i was doing fine for about a month now( i'm new) and recently i just flashed from cm6 to bakedsnack1.0 the past week my phone was showing the low storage on device and was running really slow. response times were about 4 seconds per digit dialed for a telephone number.
so i tried to reflash that rom. unfortunately it got stuck in a bootloop. so i proceeded in reflahsing kernals, wimax and radio. now it will get out of bootloop however it does the "welcome to bakedsnack" goes to setup then freezes for 10 seconds then does the htc evo4g white screen, "welcome to bakedsnack" and this process repeats over and over.
can someone help me either fix this with custom roms and keeping full root. or cans omeone teach me how to make this phone 100% brand new. as if i just opened it out of the box from sprint. thatw ay i can proceed to start all over.
P.S. i have no knowledge of adb.
bump. pleasE?
Do you have a nand backup

Did you wipe between flashes?
Maybe that will help.

i tried going back to cm6 and it was on the blue x lookin screen for 45 minutes.
Dalvik does that to me too on clockwork but I've never had issues. Try to put a stock rooted Rom on the SD card and do it again.

Also, you can just put your card into your computer and put the Rom on it that way if you need to.

If you are stuck in a bootloop, use the Clear Storage option in the bootloader menu, then in Recovery, clear the caches and flash your rom.

Amon RA recovery
I was having some problems flashing roms at one time as well. Turned out to be a corrupted sd card that wouldn't mount. Try to take out the sd card and place it in a card reader. Save the files on there to you desktop and reformat the card. Place it back in the phone and reboot. This may work for you. And the Amon RA recovery and directions are in the Development section of the EVO forum. Most of the time it's on the first page. Good luck.
Hello, just checking to see if anyone can help, everytime I try to install a new rom it says that it installes but then when I reboot it boot loops after the htc evo 4g screen. I have used clockwork recovery and also used ra-supersonic-v2.3. The only thing I can install is my nandroid that I have from a previous rom. The new update wont boot either. If any one can help please let me know.
Try wiping everything and then flash the rom. And dont flash two zips at yhe same time.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
ok tried it, still no luck, never gets past htc eco 4g boot screen
try it with both recoveries and if it still doesnt work try older recovieries by going into rom manager going into the very botom and click all clockwordmod recovieries and flash a different one.
I have also used a format all.zip, nothing. everytime i wipe everything multipule times it does the same. Only the nandroid works no other roms will. Please help
got it to install cm7 with no prob, I wanted to load a sense rom though
Anyone got any ideas, I have read all the other threads about this issue and have tried all the suggestions but nothing works

well clockwork is your problem. lol. install amon ra v2.3 recovery. once on there wipe everything in the wipe menu except the rotate settings and the sd-card. flash your rom of choice and you should be set.

That should work seen clockworkmod get messed up couple time. Even know thats what I use
Figured it out, had to unroot my phone and reroot it then it worked
I keep re-downloading the rom but every time at the end during the boot image flash I get an error. Installation aborts and I get nothing if I try to boot. Can anyone help with this?
Make sure you clear out everything good. I had an issue in the beginning and had to wipe the cache real good. No issues since
I have tried. I have done numerous cache wipes prior to install. I don't know what the deal is. Thanks for the advice though!
I guess this is probably a stupid question but, would not having an ext partition on my sd card stop the rom from flashing?

no having sd ext is fine. no problems as far as i know. but are you using Clockwork mod recovery? because the rom wont flash with clockwork you need amon-ra 2.3 there is something in the godmode scripts that is in an unsupported format for clockwork.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
here is a link to the amon-ra recovery. if you have questions about how to install it feel free to pm me. btw you don't flash recovery's in a recovery so don't try to flash it in one
I'm gonna try that. I realised that I couldn't flash Mik's rom either. I think I may have an old recovery. Thank You! I was using Amon-RA. I think it was an old version though

yeah you might have been on 1.8 instead of 2.3 and if it still doesn't flash then its probably never going to. godmode seems to be tempermental with what phones it wants to work on and theres multiple people who no matter what they tried cant get it to flash. so cross your fingers and hope for the best
I had the same problem. Couldn't flash with cwm. So I flashed amon ra 2.3 and then flashed synergy rc2 god mode it took about 20 minutes but worked.

I have been trying to flash Shooter E3, MikG, and Synergy. I cannot get any of them to work!!! They flash fine but all get stuck in a boot loop. I have wiped everything, more than once and redownloaded all of them just to check. Every other Rom i have downloaded (CM6, Cm7, Fresh, Stock, Myns Warm, MIUI, etc.) all flash and work fine. Anyone have some ideas???
I think I read somewhere that u have to use RA recovery but not 100% on that. If ur on cwm then try with RA. If ur on RA then idk

No it doesn't but it helps if you want more internal space for running a rom using A2sd

If you get a bootloop, that's because the phone wasn't wiped correctly. Be sure to do a full wipe [factory/data, cache, and dalvik cache].

RA is not required I flashed in CWM all the time, I use RA now because it wipes better just like Charmin!

Oh! Btw I'm running Synergy RLS1 it was flashed in CWM just remember if you flash in CWM do it three times over or so it just seems to work better
I am using RA 2.3 and have been sure to wipe everything, every option except sd card (duh). I have wiped multiple times, tried Calkulins format all, kings format all. It seems to start looping right when the phone boots up and starts sending/receiving data. Could this be a radio problem??
Most of the 3.0 roms, shooter especially, take a very long time to load. Usually around 10 minutes on first boot...are you waiting long enough?
im having the same issue, everything worked fine till i tryed to use firerats method to install kingedrunny 0.3. now it just sits at the boot screen, 37 mins & counting now
i also noticed when i flash a new rom it takes abot 1 min which is unusually fast.
I waited upwards of 1 hour. I am thinking of throwing in the towel.

Hello. I just switched my recovery to TWRP and i wiped my cache/ dalvik/ factory reset my phone, in preparation to flash some ROMs. So i tried flashing several ROMs and they either ended up failing or it claims to be successful and when i try to boot up it bootloops the htc splash screen. So i'm stuck on recovery since I can't even boot into a ROM. I need help!! I have S-On and i'm unlocked.
It seems like TWRP has always been wonky on the Evo. It was even bricking them on version 2.1 I think. My advice would betoswitch to the smelkus mod version of Amon RA. It has never done me wrong.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
I never had an issue when I used to run TWRP 1.0. Having said that, I've been running Smelkus recently and haven't looked back. You might try switching recoveries and running the superwipe function and wiping the Dalvik cache in Smelkus before and after you flash a ROM and see if that clears things up. You can do a search on XDA for Smelkus recovery to find the OP and download link.
Just curious, though. What ROM are you trying to flash?

I've tried several ROMs like Nitrous, Blackbean, Team Dirt's ICS 4.0.4 ROM and the RemICS ROM, DigitalKarma, MokeeOS, and Holo. I just finished switching recoveries so everything should work.

If your not sure. Then it ain't. Go here to see how to Partition your SD Card. Most Roms have A2SD baked in and not having your card partition will cause issues.
