[Q] Everytime I wipe cache or dalvik I can't boot or install roms

Ok, I just finished formatting one of my memory cards and installed a new rom. It booted fine. I went back into recovery to wipe the cache and dalvik and when I go to reboot it stays stuck at the white HTC screen. This has happened with multiple roms. After that I went back into recovery to try to reflash the rom and this is when the errors from last night come back:
Gets all the way to formatting cache, then system, then copying files....
E:Failure at line 6:
Copy_dir Package: data DATA:
Installation aborted.
This is the problem I've been running into before I formatted the card. This is a brand new Evo, with the 2.02 boot, version 4.
If I wipe data
What does this sound like? Something go bad in the rooting process? Maybe something to do with Amon recovery? Maybe try clockwork or what?

I rebooted into recovery and wiped all 3 then went to install the rom on the card and it installed this time. I don't remember my last phone working anything like this at all... not sure what gives.

Ive seen this also with a new phone that has the older hBoot, just without the errors. Couldn't get it to take a custom ROM but you could flash kernels with no problem.
Have you tried running the RUU and then reflashing the recovery?

I think it might be something with the recovery, because I tried to flash Clockwork via rom manager and it said it took, but Amon is still there. I'm going to flash the pc36 ruu that was originally used to see if it has any affect.

Solved.. thanks for the help

I am getting the exact same situtation going on. I hope I didnt break my phone. I really LOVE this damn thing. hahah Please help. What are the steps I need to do to get my phone working again.

[Q] Stuck on CM10 Nightly 12/10

Is there anything I can do?
So I installed the 12/10 Nightly of CM10 and I am stuck on this ROM. After about an hour all my application force close including Trebuchet. When I reboot into recovery, TWRP 2.3.1.1, I try to restore one of my backed up ROMs. It looks as though everything goes fine on the restore, but when I reboot system, I am still on the 12/10 Nightly of CM10.
I have tried re-installing TWRP, I have tried installing a new different ROM, I have tried re-rooting using odin, I have tried un-rooting using odin, I have tried installing CWM in a zip form and pushing it by command prompts and I am just about out of all options. I have also tried to install super su and uninstall and re-install superuser, thinking it might be that and no luck there either. I am not sure what to do.
Please help if you can.

You shouldn't have too, but try formatting system before flashing.
And of course wipe cache and dalvik.
Best of luck,

Yeah I always wipe cache/dalvik, wipe system and factory reset before installing anything new.

try pulling the battery? try twrp 2.2.2.0? i had problems restoring w/ twrp 2.3.1.1. where i didn't have problems with a rom before but after restoring that same rom, i would run into rr and sod.
which cwm did you try to install? did you try sk8erwitskil's cwm? install over twrp, reboot recovery, and then install from there? if not, maybe try a different sdcard?

I always do this. Wipe factory then system then cache then dalvik in that order and never had issue. I also went back to twrp2.2.20

I have tried all versions of CWM and I have tried going back to twrp 2.2.2.0 and everytime I reboot I am still on 2.3.1.1. No matter what I do I still stuck on CM10 and twrp 2.3.1.1.
What could have happened? It seems as though nothing will flash properly.

This sounds like what happened to my 32GB SanDisk card; it turned read-only. Have you tried flashing a ROM? Maybe with CWM.

So I have read around to see what could be wrong. It sounds as though my phone is not writing to the nand. Is there anyway to fix that or no?

Have you tried restoring to stock Rom via Odin or flashing from a app that does it for you?

Cant Flash new ROMs anymore. Please help.

Okay, I searched before posting. Here is my steps.
I was on SKYNOTE 8.2 and wanted to go back to stock and see what At&t's update was about.
Once back to stock, I rooted my phone and have been on this setup for about 2 weeks.
I was in the original thread and saw the new 4.2.2 Collective AoCP / CM10.1 ROM.
I wanted to try it out.
Using TWRP's latest, followed all instructions and when rebooting it still has stock root ROM.
What am I doing wrong?
I thought it was TWRP so I went to an earlier ver, still no change.
I've tried 4 times now to flash this 4.2.2 Rom and nothing.
Factory Reset
Wiped Dalvik
Install Zip
Install gapps
It says to wipe cache and data again
then boot up
It boots up alright, right into my old phone.
Any input I can get is appreciated guys !!!! Thanks.

Copy the ROM to your device (some storage folder)
Boot directly to TWRP
Manually install the ROM and the appropriate GAPPS
(watch the script window and see what it says.. look for errors)
Clear caches and dalvik
reboot

Try wiping cache/delvik cache, then factory reset twice, then system wipe twice, Install .zip, Install GApps, then wipe cache/delvik again(don't wipe data after .zip is installed. That's how I always do it and it works great.

I think its my recovery Twrp. I changed something.

I have tried everything. Its got to be the recovery. No matter what I do in twrp, nothing changes. It says updating partitions and stimulating actions
. It also says successful. After updating to the newest twrp it started this. I changed something. ##[email protected] went into settings and reset....nothing. What if I flashed CWM and then went back to TWRP.

Okay guys....This has made me sick to my stomach.....I have tried all the different methods. I even soft bricked my phone today using CWM.
Kies wouldnt even fix my phone.
I had to download stock firmware and flash via Odin to get back.
Installed TWRP
Rooted
Went into recovery and wiped everything again
Installed the custom ROM
Rebooted
TWRP didnt do anything even though it says it did.
My phone boots up like normal with Att logo and works but no Custom Rom and no wipes.
What is this? Im going to try other things but wow, this is crazy.
On my SD card I have alot of stuff. I also have a folder named TWRP, it has a back up in there. I wonder if I should remove that?
IDK,,,,,Stuck with Stock root for now. Help If you can. Never had this issue before. What a day

Might as well try everything. wipe your sd card in twrp,if that doesn't work reformat through android when booted. Then copy the custom rom over and try again. Only other thing I can think to try is to check that all partitions that are needed are mounted, or try CWM instead.
Also, how did you install TWRP? Through the app? that is the best way to do it, I have had problems flashing twrp through CWM or through the computer. If you aren't already, use goomanager to install it. TWRP has instructions on their website

I figured it out!!!!!!!

It was the settings in TWRP. One of the boxes was checked. Sim actions for theming. I unchecked that and was on my way. Rocking The Collective AoCP now !!!!! Yes.....Thanks to all of you for your input. I'm going back to each and will hit thanks right now! Thanks again XDA members.

An odd situation please help?

Okay so to start off I had RSL14 Hyperdrive installed on the rom, ended up trying a new one and when going to wipe data, cache, dalvik, system as usual i ran into an odd error. I am using TWRP recovery and when going to wipe data, the phone just restarted, so i rebooted into recovery and tried again same thing.....which was odd. So i reinstalled twrp and then tried again same thing. Then I decided to install CWM 6.0.1.2 and it wipes data and everything fine, but when going to wipe cache, dalvik, or data it sometimes states E: unknown volume for path {/sd-ext}. On top of that everyonce in a while it says E: unable to format unsafe partition?
Please help its causing me problems and I am a flashaholic.
Regards,
Sean

Unsafe partition usually means your internal partitions got corrupted somehow.
I would suggest to flash a stock ROM via ODIN or ADB. You could try MSkips toolbox if your comfortable using it-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488

If I flash the stock recovery via odin will this fix the partition? I'd really hate to have to do that but reflashed both recoveries a couple different times and like the rom im currently on but if it must be then I guess I have no choice.

I think you need to flash both of them over.

I suggest you try one of these options:
- Do a complete wipe, system, data, cache, davlik,....everything but sd card of course. Make sure the backup is on ext sd card
- Change customer recovery from TWRP to CWM. Go get the latest on the CWM site and use odin to flash it
- give this method a shot : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39497772&postcount=3
- fun fsck fix from the toolbox listed in the sticky thread in dev
Does this happen on stock based rom's or just when going from stock to custom?

It happens in both stock and custom.
I tried that method but still happens.
I even my wiped my whole phone and unroofed and flashed stock. But still error when trying to flash a different rom

Go into the folder specified and create the folder it's looking for lost+found
Had this issue once. Once I did that and rebooted into recovery everything worked fine.
