the rom i am currently using is mikG 2.55 and using Freedom0.9 aggressive for my kernel. and i flashed them both with Amon_RA v2.3
what was your method of flashing? did u flash rom, then reboot? Or did u flash both of them @ same time in recovery? give me a run down and i'll see what i can do to help
u prob know all this stuff but sometimes i forget something as simple as wiping diff stuff. Best option might be a fresh install and maybe flashing virus superwipe first.
I disagree with superwipes.
Just go to wipe in Amon RA and wipe every option there is, except SD Card: and Battery Stats, if you're not full ycharged. Wipe Cache and Dalvik-Cache twice, then flash the ROM, reboot, let it settle for a few minutes, reboot to recovery. Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache again, flash the kernel.
Reboot, let it settle a few minutes and start doing your setup

Okay, so earlier today I rooted my evo and flashed the CM6 ROM. A little later I tried to install Google apps.
I followed a tutorial on youtube on how to install gapps using rom manager.
Now my Evo is stuck in the Clockworkmod recovery screen and when I click reboot system now it reboots and goes back to the clockworkmod screen. I tried wiping data/factory reset and then re-installing the CM6 ROM, it did not work.
I really need some help here, I'm not too experienced and I don't want to brick my Evo. How do i fix this?? I am freaking out. Thank you!
I use AmonRA recovery personally and flash everything through recovery. I had too many problems when I tried flashing things through Rom Manager app. Do you have a nandroid backup? If so install the backup and then boot into recovery and reinstall CM6 and gapps back to back in the same recovery session. If no backup, download PC36IMG that corresponds with your hboot version and put it on the root of your sd card. Boot into bootloader by holding volume down and power at the same time. It will scan the sd card for PC36IMG and then verify it. It will then ask you if you want to update. Select yes and let it do its thing and then when it asks if you want to reboot select yes. This will put you back to stock and may unroot, so you may have to do the root procedure again. Then install CM6 and gapps in same recovery session.
Before all this try wiping cache and davlick cache and reboot. If that doesn't work try powering off phone through clockwork and then boot into bootloader. It will scan for PC36IMG and not find it then you will have options to boot into different things. Select recovery, and it will boot into Clockwork. Wipe cache and davlick cache and reboot. See if this works. If not you will have to nandroid or go back to stock probably unless someone that has had this problem and comes along to help you fix it. Always wipe cache and davlick when installing something new like gapps or kernels and full wipe when installing a new Rom, unless you are updating a Rom then just Davlick and Cache.
As long as the phone turns on it is not bricked.

Where can I download the pc36img? Also, it seems that when I try to wipe dalvik cache, it doesn't do anything.

If you are having issues getting the img on your SD card, if you have a card reader handy just use that to transfer it over

I did find the correct one for my hboot version, but another question I have is do I need to flash unrevoked-forever-son.zip since I rooted using unrevoked 3.32? Or do I just put the PC36IMG on the sd card and flash it? Thanks.
Okay, I seem to have gotten it back to stock. Thank god, thought I lost my evo for a minute! Thanks to those who helped me out, its 4:45 in the morning and now I can finally go to bed! ;]
LOL glad ya got it back.. Yeah thats where I was heading before I seen your post..Its 5:46 am and Im not sure how many Evo people are actually on at this time so...anyway nite
I stayed on to help as long as I could, but had to go to work. Sorry I couldn't be here to help with more questions. Funny I was just getting up for work and you guys were just going to bed.
Glad you got it fixed for now. Remember to flash CM6 from recovery and not Rom Manager. Also, flash Gapps from recovery and not Rom Manager app. Flash CM then gapps and reboot. Make sure you do a full wipe first though. You could also look for Calkulin's tools thread in Dev section of EVO forum and find his wipe all zip. You just flash it like any other zip but it formats data, cache, boot and system partitions so that when you flash a new ROM nothing is left over from old one. Good luck my friend and happy flashing.
PS. I don't think the stock rom would give you s-on since you already had s-off, so you should be good to go. I could be wrong, but as long as you still have a custom recovery and s-off you should be good to flash any Rom.
evo camera
ok i have a root evo but my camara dosent work ... can some body help me to fx that problem
What rom are you using? Do they list camera issues or camera not working in the initial post with the rom?

Hi all. I'm currently using MIUI and want to swith to CM7 for 2.3 and 4G. I've been on the Cyanogen forums but to no avail. I have so far tried the following...
1. Flash from MIUI to CM7 #8 through rommanager with wipe.
2. Flash from MIUI to CM7 nightly 8, 12, 17 through Clockwork with full data and cache wipe.
3. Flash from MIUI to CM6 to CM7 through clockwork w/ full wipe.
4. Flash Amons recovery in rommanager and flash from MIUI to CM7 nightly 17 w/ full wipe.
I am currently at a loss. Please throw any suggestions my way.
- Nick
What exactly are you wiping when you say full wipe?
Try flashing calkulin's format_all.zip, then cyanogenmod, then gapps, all within one recovery session (no rebooting/restarting between flashing each one)
Sent from my hand with XDA Premium installed
Try a full wipe, cache, dalvik, and data. Then reflash the rom.
By full wipe I mean data/factory reset, then wipe cache, then dalvik.
Trying Calkulin now. On Cyanogen forum someone suggested a different kernel. I've never flashed only just a kernel. Would I use the same method as flashing other zips?
That's correct, just wipe dalvik and cache before doing so.
So, I did the calculkin format all however I also did something different this time. I started to notice that it would only boot loop after I did a Titanium batch restore. I would normally restore all apps and system data. This time I only restored apps instead of system data and I can reboot just fine... for now.
Would this cause a problem? Restoring system data from a backup inside MIUI and restoring it in CM?
Edit: Now it's stuck at the white screen. Doing a nandroid backup and going to try some other fun stuff. Yay...
I use amon RA recovery and when I was stuck in a boot loop I would wipe data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, as well as wipe the system. That did the trick for me. Best of luck!
PS. Not sure of you can wipe system via clockwork mod, I used it briefly before I got aggravated and flashed a better recovery img IMO.

You can do a full wipe in clockwork:
factory/data reset, and wipe cache from the main screen, then navigate to advanced and then wipe dalvik cache.
The reason I've been using clockwork is because I like using Rom Manager, but I'm not against Amon if it's the answer. Though, I've now tried it, and it doesn't seem to be.
I've been doing the wipes you're suggesting since the beginning. Those aren't doing it. I have a few ideas that I didn't try last night. Gave up after about hour 7 of trying different things.
My next experiment is to switch kernels. But I'm also thinking there could be a problem w/ my Titanium backup. I don't remember specifically, because I didn't notice it at first, but it does seem to only have a problem after I do a restore. Any thoughts on that one??

Well amon_ra isn't the answer. I've used clockwork and had ZERO problems, and still use it. But if you think titanium is your issue, go into it, and click problems, and it'll download the busybox and correct itself. And if you think the kernel may be the problem, it could be, so go for it. Just make sure to use an aosp kernel on an aosp rom, and the same for sense; don't mix them.
Thanks for the advice. Any suggestions on which kernel I could try? On MIUI my kernel is brandon-ThinkPad-T510 #5.

Well I would try the a froyo savaged zen kernel. They all play nice from what I hear.
No fix yet even after switching kernels. I found this link when I was looking up more info http://www.shahz.net/android/what-is-dalvik-cache.html and this section interested me.
"This dalvik cache can grow immensely huge as more applications are installed on your phone. It is safe to wipe dalvik-cache. It will be rebuilt again when the phone boots. This also explains why your phone takes ages to start up for the first time. As for my Nexus One, having about 145 applications installed, it takes about 13 minutes to build the cache"
Could this be what's going on? Is the dalvik cache being rebuilt and I'm not actually getting a bootloop? Do I need to let the blue arrow circle around the skating android for 15 minutes?
Still not working. Tried the kernel switch and the above idea of letting the boot screen run for over 20 minutes. Nothing.
Anyone w/ any thoughts?? Thanks.
Are you flashing the new kernel the same time you flash the rom. What you should do is wipe everything, factory/data, cahe, dalvik cache, then flash the rom. Give it a couple of minutes to boot up. After it eventually boots up, back it up, then flash the new kernel, just wipe the cache and dalvik before you do so.

Restoring system data through Titanium Backup is almost a certain recipe for disaster - especially when switching between different ROMs. Use TB only to restore user apps, and the data associated with only those apps.
The other thing you may want to try is to repartition/format your SD card. Make sure you back it up to your computer first, then use whatever recovery (I know Amon Ra will do it, think CWM will too) to partition and format the SD card. This helped me out when I was getting bootloops...
Good luck!

I flashed CM7.1 and I'm stuck in a boot loop. I tried wipe cache partition, wipe date/factory reset, wiping dalvik cache and reflashing a different rom but still keep getting the boot loop. What else should I try doing to slove this ?
Could be kernel related, are you using an aosp and hopefully not a sense kernel? Need more info, what kernel, recovery are you using?
I'm using ClockworkMod recovery I'm not sure what kernel I using
Easy fix, recommend starting from new. wipe the entire phone in recovery at least 3 times, sd card also, backup sd card to computer if you need to via USb toggle, flash Cm 7.1, flash tiamat kernel, found in development section, reboot, good to go, nandroid once up and running, happy flashing
Thanks, okay I'm glad you said easy fix I'm not as worried now. I'm gonna follow your advice. Whats a roamer kernel ?
sorry swype acting weird, use tiamat kernel 4.1 something in development section
The FIRST Thing you should do is get rid of Clockwork Mod, and get Amon Ra, so you can wipe everything.
Just wiping Data/Cache/Dalvik when flashing a new ROM isn't enough.
Hey thanks again ! ! I followed your advice and got everything working again
What's up guys? I been flashing roms for a while now, and I have yet to flash a kernel. I wanna flash this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421704
I'm not sure what steps I have to do to successfully flash a kernel, Can I flash it just like I would a rom in rom manager? Or do I need to flash it in fast boot???
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
Flash a kernel by going into CWM recovery, wipe dalvik cache and regular cache , install, done or I think you can do it from rom manager, been awhile, but I believe you can install while wiping dalvik
Edit: oops said rom instead of kernel XD
I flashed the LZ kernel over CM10.1 Wild for the Night. I'm now stuck in a bootloop. I tried flashing the patched LZ kernel, but to no avail.
Can I just go back into Clockworkmod, wipe, and install a new ROM (preferably PACman ROM) through mounting USB storage?
If not, what other options do I have?
Thanks!
Do you have a backup that you can restore?
I read that the kernel will boot loop if you wipe cache and dalvik.

I don't have a backup, but I don't really want or need one. I can get all my stuff back in like 20 minutes. I hardly ever do any gaming.
And no, I didn't wipe anything. I just installed the kernels. I've given up on trying to install the kernel, though. I just want to install a ROM.
Will it work if I just wipe and install PACman ROM or Revolt JB through CWM?
Yep
It should long as you can boot into recovery.
