Ok since this the third time typing this here is the condensed version. Running myns rls5 ontop of toastmod kernel listed on same page. Initial flash went ok minus the Flickr screen, distortion lines laterally, horrendous battery life, weird boot process...osmonitor I had to install due to interference with the OS. Myns crashed a lot with in first flash. Also some one dumb down how to use an irc app cuz I'm also lost....also what IM service can I get hold of u guys on cuz I hate forums.... too impatient
Ok no help? Not even some direction for irc where I can get some real help? Well just flashed a diff kernel thanks for the help guys. The Droid community has been a very unhelpful one compared to iPhone....
(irc help would be awesome still since I now have some help with main issue- I enter all the correct info into the app but it shows nothin. I've tried several to no avail. I appreciate the help) second I've ran into more pretentious ppl in these forums for Android then others no offense to the good guys but just my exp. It was brash to say that in this post tho. Thank you guys again for the ones willing.
That's because even the biggest idiot can work an iphone.

Patience dude. I didn't catch it, but what exact kernel are you using, net has a lot of em, the one in the OP of myn's thread you mean? What recovery(and version of that recovery, some versions of clockwork floating around that have some bugs i think) did you use to flash the rom? what radio version and pri version do you currently have installed? Which ROM were you coming from, and did you do a full wipe(data, cache, davlik cache) before flashing it? I have never experienced anything like you are describing whilst using Myn's, his ROMs have been solid. Give a little more info and surely we can help you get running smoothly again.
thanks for the reply heres the details...myn's rls5, net toast havs more, ra_superson
Sincerely thanks for your reply. Typing this on my evo as my screen tears on and off. Running ra_supersonic(newest ver.) With Myns rls5 on net havs more smartass as listed on page. Updated to current radio and pri as listed on his post. Only dalvik and cache wiped not data. Flashed
Hulu and data governor hacks...CPU is only overlooked to 1190 in smartass and can't go any higher. This was my first root and flash so came from stock 2.2 on 3.30 ver. Have noticed avg using temp is around 103 off charger, cameras broke, my CPU in system panel says I'm running 100% continuously. Did a fast reboot , norm reboot, and still doin it. I had diminished battery life from the get go, I understand battery life per clockspeed relation but have underclocked profile to try to assist, which only cause frustration when coming back from lock screen and its still tryin to switch profile. Lagged the phone nearly locked out several times cuz it couldn't keep up with my fingers.0003 hw....I think that's it. Thank you again
Looks like we're running nearly the same setup, minus my ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery. I have attempted the stock kernel furnished in the Rom zip but since it didn't offer overclock I switched to net havs more smartass. I do the dalvik and cache wipe each time.

Not trying to be a smart ass but do you realize that by insulting us will not get you any help? Rhetorical question
From reading what you jus stated the obvious problem is you did not do a FULL WIPE as you should do when flashing between roms.
Also next time please be patient as those like myself who browse through this section to help impatient ppl like your self, do actually have a life outside of xda. Its been a big snow storm in the southeast so most like myself included are outside enjoying the snow!
DO A FULL WIPE THEN REPORT BACK!
Gonna ignore the soap box chatter...
Obviously know I didn't do full wipe.....just gonna wait for other poster
gotta do a full wipe if you are switching between roms

Sorry you feel that way but since i have had the hero, on every thread about a rom says wipe all! This must be a joke for someone as rude as yourself to come on here and disrespect those who are trying to help.
Next time you decide to flash a rom remember to do a full wipe because inside the data partition is files for the particular rom, if you dont wipe, the new files will just over lay but not delete the old one. This will cause conflicting issues within the files as the phone tries to do both at the same time.
Screen tearing and the "jigglies" as I like to call it have always come from kernels - in my experience. And just because someone might have the same set up as you, the way it affects your phone ccan be quite different as you are running different apps, different settings, etc.
First thing I would do if I were you is to freeze any kernel govenor you are using - no setcpu, no secreen off profile, no set on boot, no os monitor govenor, no nothing like that. You don't want want any of that going on when you flash a new rom or kernel.
I know you don't want to do a full data wipe so let's see if we cna get you going without that. I used to HATE doing data wipes, I don't mind so much now because I've learned that trobule shooting can frequently take longer than just doing a data wipe.
I would say #1 make sure you are using AMON RA. Power button-reboot-recovery. Wipe cache at least twice, wipe dalvik at least twice. Now JUST flash the rom (you've already said your radios are updated so you wont have a problem with this). Let the phone boot up and give it time to settle in. You wont have any screan tearing. Now you're running a completely stock Myn's rls5 rom. Check some stuff out, make sure your basic settings are good, make sure your 4g is not scanning, etc.
Make a nandroid of this and keep it.
Now start making changes if you'd like. Flash a different font, flash a different kernel, etc. But leave all the governors OFF until you have a kernel that you KNOW will run ok on your phone. For example - I can run 2 of ziggy's kernels but the others don't work for me. I can run a few of net's kernels, but many don't work for me.
So my basic suggestion is to make sure you get a stable, stock Myn's rls5 on your phone before you mod it. If you can't get that, then yes - you might want to wipe data. Doing a batch backup in Titanium is really easy and it makes restoring very easy as well. It's our own customizing that is time consuming because we are all probably very picky (and proud!) of our beautiful phones.
Thanks for the helpful info from ALL that posted. I understand the risk of the non entire wipe, nandroid is safe of original stock Rom but not of new one. After tinkering with setcpu I've gotten more consistent stability. I know I will reflash with an entire data wipe here soon to see results. Running ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery.
I've made list of check point when I test some new Roms and kernels. I have some more question on backing up user info from backed up apps but Im sure ill find it on here.
Now that my system is stable for the time being, some one mind help me setup irc? And also has anyone issues with camera breaking with this Rom or kernel? I should wait to wipe entirely to see if it fixes, but I'd rather not waste my time with this Rom or kernel if the camera won't work. Love everything else about this Rom, need to learn more about the kernel to praise it. Ra_supersonic 2.2.1 recovery i like also.

You're welcome. I am late at getting back to this post, but yea. Definitely. As everyone else has suggested, you have to do a full wipe when changing ROMS. Only time you could get away with just wiping davlik cache and cache is when upgrading the same rom ( like from rls 3 to rls 4, and rls to rls 5), but even then, it doesn't always work. Full wipe is always recommended. I would also recommend downloading your apps one at a time from the market, and adding your mods one at a time, make sure everything is stable after each flash. Good luck.
QUOTE And also has anyone issues with camera breaking with this Rom or kernel? I should wait to wipe entirely to see if it fixes, but I'd rather not waste my time with this Rom or kernel if the camera won't work. Love everything else about this Rom, need to learn more about the kernel to praise it QUOTE
If your phone is the newer hardware (late 003 or 004), you can only use the stock kernel, or a kernel based off stock for the camera to work. That would be htc #15. I believe Net's 4.3 kernels are based off of that. I am also pretty sure that Net explains that in his kernel thread in the development section.
Thanks guys did the full wipe and reflashed, working ok except SD file permissions are screwed up now. I go to test camera and it says insufficient file permissions when I take a pic. I go to check in astro, I see all the file that are supposed to be there but no editing; it still shows rw. Did not have card in when full wipe was completed would that effect it? Any help? Haven't attempted another SD card. I hope this isn't the second SD card to be trashed during my rooting process. Atleast I can still see that there r files on there. Thanks for the help.
Also any help gettin set with irc? Still having a horrible time trying to work with it....it seems so simple.... so 0003hw are stuck with stock roms or ones based off them...I believe nets kernel on that page was. I will test it out and let you know. I just need to know about the SD card problem. Thanks again guys.
Theres been lots of issues with 3.70 based roms. I always stick to lower versions..usually 3.30 and have no problems.. i also hace seen alot of people having battery problems on 3.70 after updating to 1.90 pri. They usually downgrade to pri 1.77 and there good.....

Okay, this process will 100% work. It's the one I've been using since my lowly mytouch slide oh so many months ago.
*before you do this, make sure you have backups of your nandroid and your rsa keys. I'll edit post and give you links on how to back up your rsa keys*
RSA Key back-up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887900 ...since you're rooted you can go straight to the part where it says "if you're rooted do this.."
1. First you need to fix the sd card. Create a folder on your computer desktop and call it "my sd card". Plug your phone into the computer and select "disk drive". Next you're going to copy EVERYTHING from the sd card and place it in the folder on the desktop (and dude I mean everything! AS IS, DON'T CHANGE ANY NAMES). Then, you're going to unhook your phone, go to settings>sd and phone storage. Then you're going to format your sd card. Yes, do it, but make sure you have EVERYTHING backed up first. After that's done, plug your phone back in, select disk drive and copy everything from your "my sd card" folder on your computer and put it back onto your sd card.
*phew*
Okay now that the sd problem is fixed, here's how you fix the rest. You see, when you upgrade your PRI to 1.90 and your radio, etc etc you gotta update the kernel to a version that's 1.90 supported. I'll edit post and post a link to where you can find one OR you can just use the kernel that's included with myn's rom because it WILL WORK. *edit* the kernel I'm using has been taken down because of the witch hunt against SBC kernels. So for now, just stick with stock. It works just fine.
Anyway.
Steps to getting myn working perfectly.
*before starting, re-download myn rls5 in case the screen flickering was caused by a corrupted download*
1. Download Titanium Back-up from the market. Back up all the apps you want to keep (basically, anything you downloaded from the market as you'll get facebook, sense widgets, etc back). You can do this while you re-download the rom.
2. Make a nandroid back-up in case something goes seriously wrong. A rom that flickers your screen is better than a brick.
3. Once that back-up is done, reboot into recovery. Once there, you're going to WIPE EVERYTHING. Full data, cache and dalvik wipe. Yes, do it. There is no other option.
3. Flash myn's rom. Let it go all the way through. Do NOT flash a new kernel until you've found one that's 3.70 compatible and works with PRI 1.90. Myn rls5 is designed to work with the newest updates (which means a #15 kernel, like the one that came stock).
4. Reboot. If the screen is still flickering, then at this point it's a hardware problem. Flash back to stock, unroot and go get a new one. If it works fine, re-download titanium back-up from the market and restore all your apps. From there it's just putting your widgets back on your home screen.
From here, you can search the forums for a kernel that works with the newest updates. If you read them, they'll tell you what they're compatible with. Remember do NOT use an AOSP kernel with a SENSE rom, that's just spells IDIOCY. Until you find a kernel that works, stick with the one that came with the rom because everyone knows that one works.
I hope this helps. As for the IRC chat, not all the experts are on all the time. If no one is online that can help when you get one, try getting a few hours earlier or a few hours later.
Ok, more than fairly new to android. Ive ran on windows, windows mobile and blackberry for a very long time. Finally decided Android seemed like the hot ticket (cus f*** apple) and im trying to get into this stuff.
Im a geek whose been de-geeked (haven't spent much time on the computer in the last 8-12 months, comps currently unplugged and still packed after a move, currently at a library to post this.... you get my point), and so im limping into the android world. I bought and love my epic, but I didnt buy it to run it stock so im looking to upgrade. Things I really want in a rom/want my epic to do (i understand if not ALL are possible):
-Full Flash (10.1?)
-Preferred Froyo base
-I dont mind the look/feel of the stock Shell, but Ive never experienced any others so I guess Im open to suggestions and testing them out.
-For some reason, my images don't load in full quality, Ive been told some ROMs fix this. id like it fixed.
... My list is surprisingly shorter than I initially thought it would be when I started this post... so I may edit it soon as I remember other important things.
P.S. Ive done some searching around, don't flame me. It seems hard (extremely hard) to look at each one ROM individually, see its features and what is has to offer, compare and contrast and then pick one. Ive seen a few lists with random ones compared, but no list of all of them (I imagine that would be very hard to keep up to date). It seems more like, when someone makes a ROM they say what it is, what it does, what is has and if you miss the bandwagon then you miss it completely.
Thank you for all recommendations
I like bonsai rom on froyo. Its fast and very stable. It also has swap enabled. If you wanted to go to this froyo rom for flash support then you have to upgrade cause your on eclair now. The easiest way to get to this rom is to go into the dev. Section and find the one click root plus clockwork version 3. Not 2.5.5 but version 3. But before you do that you need use a program called Odin to flash your modem from di18 eclair to dk28 froyo. Then once you boot into cwm it will change your filesystem over from rfs to ext4 and then you flash the bonsai rom and your done. Sorry I don't have links for you I'm using tapatalk and its a pain in the ass to post links but go to the dev section and look its all in there. Good luck

No there isnt, i updated via updatezip both 2.2 and the modem, i first flashed the modem, then tried to flash 2.2 but i had to flash the d118 stock rom unrooted then it updated and then i was able to ext my system then get on bonsai.
Since ive had my epic, ive avoided odin all together..
I'm currently running GB El29 and am looking to update. I've done a lot of reading around the forum, the wiki, and a few other websites, and I'd just like a little bit of clarification. I figure I'd ask now, before doing anything, as opposed to asking later, after something's gone wrong.
Looking at the Wiki, I was considering updating to Calkulin's E4GT 2 v1.6, or unrooting and then waiting for the Official ICS update (it was rerolled today, apparently.) Or, to Blazer, but I'm not sure if going to the ICS version or GB version is best.
My question - The process to update - Nandroid, Flash Format All, Flash Rom, Success? I've noticed a lot of installs say to "Wipe All", and I assume that's what Flashing Format All does, correct? I just don't want to mess up - I had no problems rooting, following that guide I mentioned, and I've done a lot of reading...I just want to confirm before doing anything. I mean, I know, wipe delvic and clear cache, but Format All does that, correct?
I rooted my phone using "How to Root Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch! [NEW][SPH-D710]" rom Epic4gtouchroot.com. I'd post a link, but I've fewer than 10 posts. All I've done, outside of root, is install the Beats sound files. That's really it.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of going with. I've read over his topic several times, and even though I'm really not a fan of the transparent notification tray, most of the included mods sound really, really useful. Thanks for the heads up.
And thank you too, jugaloo. I actually have that page bookmarked on my phone lol. I've already made several nandroid backups - I plan on making a titanium backup in a moment. My only concern now is th process from going from El29 GB to E4GT 3. Rereading that thread several times has me wondering - I download the ROM, place it on the SD, boot into recovery, clear delvic and cache, run Format all, then install the ROM, correct? I already have a nandroid backup, so in case anything here goes wrong, I can just flash the backup back on, correct?

I was thinking that - Calk's topic was updated in May, while blukuban was updated in February. I mean, I can always try both, right? I'd like to go with Calk's first, then try blukuban, only because BK is heavily themed. But either way, thanks!
Edit
I didn't realize the blukuban thread had updates outside of the OP. It was very recently updated. I might check that one out first.
Yes the blu kuban ics is always up todate and he is there for the people. If you want ics builds that are more stockish id aokp they have theming going on but is nice and stable. Read all of the op and there sites for correct install. Cm9 alpha 6 is also really good. Blazers rom is also really good. Those are all stockish built from source. For gb roms id go with either calks 3.0 or UnOfifcials ics gb rom. For me gb gives me most bang for battery and bandwith. Those last two roms are highly recomended. Calks is super fast stock with options for themes. Unofficial gb ics is themed lightly and is very good for battery and the animations are nice

Alright, awesome. Waiting for my battery to finish charging (my phone reset while performing a titanium backup, and the battery life dropped from 44 to 9, so I'm getting it back up to at least 50.)
So just to recap
-
To Install
Boot to recovery
Make a NAND Backup
Wipe Phone (Format All/wipe delvic/wipe cache)
Install ROM
Right? That's what Blukuban's install requires, and Calk's doesn't have any special instructions, outside of " a wipe is recommended BEFORE flashing if coming from another ROM", which is what the Format All is for, correct?
You've been insanely helpful. Thank you so much! I'm also looking into UnOfficial (it's not on the Wiki, so I didn't really know about it until you mentioned it.

Charge the bartery more. Use a wipe script dont touch the fomat that is built into the cwm while flashing a ics rom. If you use the wipe x2 script found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25448865
U should be good. It wipes everythings even both of the caches twice. If you already have a newer nandroid id just go with that instead of making a new one everytime you flash. If possible download the roms to pc check the md5 check sums make sure they match. If they match transfer to the phone. When downloading to the phone it has a higher chance of a bad download. I try and flash at 75% battery incase of error and you have to restore a previous nandroid. If you want read this post about the eMMc bug. Most roms are safe now but some are not current.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644364
Not trying to scare you with that last link you should know about it before hand so you know the dangers of flashing a non safe ics roms. If you have any more queations shoot. But i think your good to go

One more thing. Qbking27 has install video guides for 90% of the roms in the threads of the rom. Id watch those before installing that rom you want. Some times they are buried in the op. You can use them as a step by step as you install. Best if luck to you and i want a report once you get your new custom rom on your phone.

You got it!
I'm doing a GB build - from what I've come across, GB just gets better battery life, and I just feel more comfortable using it. At least, until the official ICS rolls out from Samsung. If that one is well received, and it's worth it, I'll unroot/wipe fresh and try it out.
That being said though, I'll use x2 then. Will it matter if I do both, just for good, measure? (Both x2 and FormatAll)
And yes, I'll be downloading to PC first, then transferring. I feel more comfortable doing it that way. I'll be doing Calk's 3.0 first, and if I don't like it, I'll try either Unofficial or BluKuban.
And once it's done charging more, and I perform the install, I'll report back, with a screenshot or two as well.

Just use the wipe x2 that does everything you need. Blu kubans gb rom is good but wifi is whacky. Id go with his ics build. Well your set good luck!

Alright so, I installed it, and all is working well. It's actually a bit...erm, slow? Whenever I swipe from screen to screen on the homepage it's a bit laggish. But it works! I'll run around with it for a little while and see how it works. I'm in the process of reinstalling my older apps, updating my contacts and such.
Thanks for all of your help!
Edit
A little worried, to be honest. Some of the apps I'm trying to install is giving me the "Package file is invalid" error off of the Google Market. Dropbox, Amazon, etc. Not sure what to make of it, to be honest.
Try and clear the cache for the market. If your using tb try to unmount the sd card if that dont work do fresh installs off the market place . Also go into recovery and clear the cache and dalvik.

Done. I cleared both caches, and so far, all of the problems I've had with the market is gone. (Dropbox didn't install on the first try, but it did after the second.)
I've replaced the default touchwiz interface with Launcher Pro (TW was running wicked slow - loads of lag with just basic scrolling) and it seems to be running well. And it's definitely saving on battery life.)
That being said, it's not really my cup of tea. I restored my contacts and such, but eh. I think I'll try UnOfficial, and if it's not better, either go back to el29 or update to official ics.
I'll likely keep this one until tomorrow. You've been such a huge help. Thank you so much.
Actually, with launcher pro replacing it, this is pretty good. I want to mess with it more. I'll run it for a few days and see how it fairs.
Ok wait before everyone leaves, Ive got some questions too!
I just got my replacement(after a hard brick trying JB) and figure Id ask my questions in this thread rather than starting a new one..
1. Ive decided to odin EL29 EVERY TIME I want to flash a new rom, just to be safe. If I use CMW with EL29 and decide to try out CM9, Do I always need to flash a aokp kernel? Or is that built into the CM9 install?
2. If I like CM9, and want to make a nandroid backup of it, do I need to Odin back to EL29 first to back it up? Or is it safe to do it with the recovery that comes with CM9?
3. If the answer to #2 is yes, meaning I do have to odin back to EL29, how do I restore my backup? Let me explain:
Lets say I flash CM9, make a nandroid of CM9, then decide to try out say a different rom, like a TW rom. Then I hate the TW rom and wanna restore my backup of CM9. Do I need to ODIN back to EL29 to restore the nandroid? I read in the "how not to brick my..." thread its bad to restore a ICS rom from a GB Kernel. Can someone please explain?
Ive really, really tried to search and read as much as possible before asking, but a lot of the threads are old and have contradicting information. Sorry for being so noobish, but I dont wanna brick my new phone. I come from Evo, Evo3d, Hp Touchpad, etc, where there arent as many issues to flash customs roms. Ive rooted and flashed custom roms ever since the PPC6600, 100's of times and NEVER had a problem. Sorry, this just really confuses me for some reason!!!
Can't help you with CM9 or AOKP because I've never tried either one. The OP was talking about launcher pro. I highly recommend Nova launcher or Apex. They are both specifically built for ICS and look and act like stock android with great customization features.
Was going to make another topic, but I thought I'd ask here first
- The notification tray in this rom (Calk 3.0) is transparent, and I'm not fond of the icons in the Notification Tray. I tried using Rom Tool Box lite to change it, but the tray won't change, no matter what I do. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've tried before - it just won't change.

I don't mess with rom tool box. I hear good and bad things about it. If you start at page 1080 and read to the end people post new system ui's but it may theme it a little bit. They have blazers UI in there and one other one I think. I'm not sure it is transparent or not. Or even make a post in the thread about it. I know its still active and you may find your answer. Sorry I can't really help you on this.

Hi,
I spent more than half the day reading about a problem I am having and just getting acquainted with the terminology and I'm a little burnt out. Here is my problem:
Dropped my phone in water while it was on. Immediately disassembled, flushed out with tap water, then force flushed with alcohol. Board dried out nicely, but had to replace screen & LCD because I cracked it while trying to pry it apart to get the water out. Replaced screen, reassembled phone.
Now it works partly, and I am thinking the OS is somehow corrupted because it is behaving weird. I need a way to re-install the OS without doing a “factory reset”, is that possible. Is that what the factory reset does, like re-installing a fresh copy of windows on a screwed up machine?
Quirks:
1) errors:
a) Process com.android.phone is not responding
b) Application Settings (in process com.android.settings) is not responding
c) The application Sprint Connections Optimizer (process com.smithmirco.mnd) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
2) High current draw, phone now gets warm, drains the battery in 2 hours. new battery.
3) Bluetooth and Wifi won't turn on (widgets or in setting), but “Sprint Retail Diagnostics” says that they are ON.
4) All else works fine on phone!
Previously the phone was switched over from Sprint to a local carrier Mobi PCS (Hawaii). He used a program called Flash To Talk Android Studio when switching the phone over. Phone was not rooted. Everything was working perfectly before, never had an issue.
Anyone know how to repair the OS?

The hboot messages are standard. Once hboot starts its going to look for a pc36img.zip in the root of your SD card. It hasn't found one. That's fine. Not an error.
Are you rooted? What recovery are you using? If amonra, I would try fixing permissions, clearing cache/dalvik then rebooting.

I have read that " try fixing permissions, clearing cache/dalvik then rebooting" in other threads, but I am not rooted. My main concern is no more OTA update support if i root it, but i guess i could install those manually?
So is my best shot root the device and do the above?
No custom recovery, the phone is basically stock except for the change over to Mobi PCS from Sprint. BTW- does that mean that the phone has a custom ROM now?
Thanks for the swift response!!!
No not really. If the phone was flashed to a different carrier, then it just has new info as to how to contact towers an such. That has nothing to do with the rom itself.
If your current rom is hosed, then you have nothing to lose by rooting and installing something else. If you like stock, there's lots of stock rooted roms here.
Start at the rooting process and go from there

Thanks guys, appreciated.
My main reason for not wanting to go with another ROM was that I would need to re-flash the Mobi-PCS info in there and he would charge me another $35. I'll talk to the guy and see if he can work with me.
Where is a good place to see all the ROMs in action? Youtube?
Oh, and can I install a new kernel without changing the ROM? I am thinking the kernel is corrupt because it controls the hardware, and my Wifi and Bluetooth don't work, and I get excessive current draw. I am really curious to find out if fixing the software will fix the hardware issues. I'll let you know how it plays out.

Trying to root the phone, but ran into a little roadblock.
Was following the procedure at HTCDev.com to unlock the bootloader, and when i entered this:
fastboot oem get_identifier_token
I got this error:
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [0.009s]
finished. total time: 0.010s
I verified the phone said "FASTBOOT USB". Had all the drivers installed, the 3 files in c:\android.com, etc..
suggestions?

Another question. I am not familiar with this terminology so really wouldn't know what to search for, but can i copy the setting that made this Sprint phone into a Mobi PCS phone? If i have to do a factory restore or change ROMs on this phone, i want to be able to flash the Mobi PCS setting back in by myself w/o having to go back to the dealer, is that possible?
thanks!!!
The stars have aligned tonight. I removed crap from my SD card and went from 1.4GB to 2.54GB free, I repeated the same steps as last night, and now it works. I copied the Identifier Token, all is well!
Thanks for the hand holding. I am sure I'll need some more along the way.

So here are my results.
I followed a guide by ocnbrz on AndroidForums.com (Awesome BTW), and ended up going with the MikG 3.1 ROM and Anthrax Kernel.
Long story short, same issues with the phone:
Slow boot, quick battery drain, no wifi/bluetooth, no spk/mic.
I am so very bummed, I guess that means I have hardware damage, unless anybody has any last ditch suggestions for going deeper into kernel/hardware issues.
One curiosity, after doing all those cache and Dalvik wipes, and bootloader unlock (which i thought wiped the phone), I still have alot of old background pics on the phone. I think its because they are stored on SD card?
BUT, why are my Mobi PCS settings still in the phone? it connects to Mobi PCS network, i just have no sound, but i do have 3G. I would think that doing all that to the phone, new ROM and Kernel, all the previous configs would be erased. Why are they still there?
Jive
The carrier you got flashed to is in a completely separate partition on the phone. When you flash a rom, it doesn't touch the other part.
As for why other things aren't working, its hard to say...it does sound like actual hardware damage. Sorry for your luck.
Just out of curiosity, which recovery did you choose?
when you wipe and installed the custom rom, I assume you wiped everything? A bad flash can cause all kinds of errors and quirks.
I always use the 3x wipe, then also wipe my sdext too since I'm also using that.
AOKP anything
---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:05 PM ----------
Also, if the guy who flashed it told you installing a custom rom would break it, he lied and he's trying to get more money.
In future ventures to the cell phone place, you may want to choose a different dealer.

Interesting... The Mobi guy actually said "there are 4 settings to change to Mobi from Sprint, sometimes when you flash a ROM, 2 of those settings get changed, sometimes they don't and the phone will still work" I don't know any better so I believed him.
Before flashing the ROM, I did a wipe with Amon Ra 2.3, cache, Dalik Cache, and Data. Then used "vr superwipe" as recommended. Before installing the Kernel, just wiped cache and Dalvik cache.
The phone was misbehaving before and after I did all the changes from stock software. I wanted to see if changing the ROM and Kernel would fix the issues i was having, but alas, no.
Now the question is, do I get another EVO 4G or something else? I love my EVO, plus I just got a new batt. and car charger, and now I have spare parts in the old phone that doesn't work 100%.
what to do....
The only thing that may change when flashing a rom is what number you dial do voicemail. Other than that, all other info is on different partitions. By flashing a rom, you can't break your carrier flash unless it wasn't right to begin with.
OK, just for giggles try smelkus recovery. Its the MOST recommended recovery. Use the superwipe x3. It formats everything.
Secondly, a large percent of roms are using a sdext partition. Format to at least ext3.
Then try a simple rom. Find a rooted stock.
If it still doesn't work, then you will probably need another one. There's a guy in the Q&A section with 2 of them asking questions about selling his. Might wanna look into it.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.
I'll take AOKP anything

Thanks for the suggestions.
I got the smelkus recovery working, did the superwipe, then flashed the Nitrous ROM and Kernel, but still stuck in Hboot screen.
My last attempt will be to unroot with a RUU file. If that doesn't work, I know some hardware is screwed and I give up.
I'm getting a EVO 3D off eBay, so I'm excited for my new phone. The 4G was phenominal, and the 3D is gonna be even better! can't wait!
So I currently have a Galaxy note 2. I have to send it to Samsung to repair and plan to use my old Evo 4G as a backup.
So here is my issue. I am on sprint and will need a sense rom in order to update my profile to get data working. I thought it would be easy to flash to sense for 5 minutes and then go back to CM7. NOPE!
I have been working on this from noon and it is now 9:00. I rarely see a blue link in my google searches now.
One of the first few things I found was this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865204
I went down to the part "How do I return to stock?" and clicked it. On that page, I downloaded the PC36IMG.zip
For some reason, hboot will just not flash it. When I go into hboot, it scans and starts reading PC36IMG.zip and after about 12-20 minutes, it just goes to another hboot menu where the only options are to reboot. It doesn't even give an error.
After a few hours of trying that and some clockwork mod flashing, nothing is taking.
I went back to digging through google and the forums here and came across http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...id#Android_Flashing_Guide_.28with_fastboot.29
I have adb working everywhere except in fast boot. As far as I can tell windows recognizes it perfectly fine. Adb just cant see it.
A few hours later, I have come across http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/HTC_EVO_4G_Downloads
This looks like it would be perfect, if all the links weren't dead
So Here I am. I am looking for a method to flash back to stock for just 5 minutes to update the stupid profile. I have exhausted google and the forum search and have not come any closer to my goal in 9 hours.
Here is all the info about my phone:
Sprint HTC EVO 4G
Hboot version: 2.10.0001
Radio: 2.15.00.11.19
S-OFF
Cyanogenmod7.2
I am trying to get to any sense rom via any method. Preferably a clockworkmod update.zip or backup even.
Am I missing something obvious?
I am not new to rooting at all, I just haven't done it in about a year.
Thanks.
You're working too hard.
Ignore any guide that refers to a PC3xxxx zip. That's the nuclear option. You don't need that (and you're lucky you didn't break anything trying it).
Just download any sense ROM.
Try the latest rooted stock ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26516892
If you can flash CM you can flash this.
Basic steps:
Download it (either odex or deodex doesn't matter)
Check md5
Put it somewhere on your SD card that's easy to find (any directory will do, but you don't want to have to hunt around for it all day in recovery)
Make a nandroid
Wipe everything *except* your SD card
If you are using clockwork, wipe everything again. [Editorial note: Clockwork sucks on Evos]
Flash the zip
Reboot
If it works, great; let it sit for awhile, then do whatever you have to do
If it doesn't work, nandroid back and ask for further assistance
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
The only reason that the bootloader wouldnt recognize the PC36IMG.zip would be because your sdcard is not formatted to FAT32
But thats just info for you, use what the guy above said, its really not difficult because you can flash ANY sense rom, not just 100% stock

that reminds me of the one thing i left out of my 1st post: Truly the *only* bad thing you can do that matters in this world is to erase pictures of your kid's first baby steps or other irreplaceable data from the SD card. the rest of it is just wasted money or time.
in recovery do *not* turn off your brain and wipe the entire SD card.
if you *are* going to nuke your SD card (for instance if you have to reformat it because it has the wrong filesystem ) obviously make sure you have a backup first.
the rest of the discussion is really unimportant in the cosmic sense of things.
you flashed CM7? you still have S-OFF? then don't worry. you got this. take a deep breath, have a drink, enhance your calm, flash a ROM.

Hmm actually, it looks like it only fixed half of my issues. For some reason it is unable to update the profile. Do you think I need up update my radio? I have never had to do that and am totally clueless about it
what's the error when updating profile? 1012?
is it absolutely necessary to update your profile to accomplish what you're trying to do? is data working? can you use wifi in the mean time?
that radio is a pre-gingerbread radio, it is true. note the only way to truly "brick" a phone is a failed radio update, so i might try everything else first.
if you simply must flash radio, then yes, you are *now* entering the world where you may need to place a PC36IMG.zip in the root of your SD card and run it from the bootloader.
check out http://themikmik.com/showthread.php?8477-Radio-Update-1-21-2012-2-15-00-12-19 for the appropriate files and maybe read a few pages at the beginning and end of that thread just to reassure yourself you know what you are doing.
but before i tried all that, i might just reboot, let it simmer for a bit, try again tomorrow. 1012 can be intermittent.
in a worst case scenario, find out your MSL (download MSL reader from app store or just call sprint and sweet talk a customer service rep. they'll usually tell you if they think you're not evil) and undertake the very serious step of blasting your phone back in to "hands-free activation" mode. this is accomplished by dialing ##72786# and then providing your MSL to reset. this really and truly wipes any knowledge this phone ever had of its previous relationship to sprint. then call sprint and re-activate your phone.

Just tried again, it is 1012. Just wondering, but does the phone actually need to be active on the line for it to update right? I haven't had it switched over yet so that might be why...
Can I give you a little advice?? Please get away from Clockwork Mod. It's not a good recovery option for the EVO. I know it is for most other phones, but for the EVO, you want an Amon Ra based recovery. Specifically, I'd go with Smelkus Amon Ra style Recovery. That and the newest radios are in my dev-host.
Also, click the link for my guide in my signature and go over that before you do anything else. It's a little dated ,but for what you want to do, it'll help you out, a lot

If you can flash CM you can flash this.
Basic steps:
Download it (either odex or deodex doesn't matter)
Check md5
Put it somewhere on your SD card that's easy to find (any directory will do, but you don't want to have to hunt around for it all day in recovery)
Make a nandroid
Wipe everything *except* your SD card
If you are using clockwork, wipe everything again. [Editorial note: Clockwork sucks on Evos]
Flash the zip
Reboot
If it works, great; let it sit for awhile, then do whatever you have to do
If it doesn't work, nandroid back and ask for further assistance

,
you say clockwork sucks on evo. what should I be running.? I'm using sensuASOP 2.55 but I'm not sure if I like it I need to update the prl and not. sure how to do it
What does updating the PRL get you? Sprint PRL's for the frequencies used by the OG Evo haven't really changed in most areas for a long time. Not sure why this is so important to everyone but maybe I'm missing something.
Anyways, as for recovery, it's not *required* to use a different recovery. If you have clockwork, go ahead, do what you need to do, just be sure to repeat any wiping steps one or two extra times because clockwork does not always wipe successfully on the first try. (Historical note: there was a brief time when Evos could lose their WiMax keys because of clockword mod, but that is not as likely to happen these days. Still, that plus the unreliable wiping thing is basically why Evo owners hate clockwork always and forever.)
The post immediately before yours gives a recommendation about alternatives to clockwork. If you will be keeping your Evo for any length of time, change your recovery to Amon Ra or SmelkusMod as soon as you have a convenient time.
can u tell me how to install smelkus? do I have to uninstall clockwork? and then install smelkus. could u point. me somewhere. Im running sensuASOP 2.55 with clockwork and I tried to El smelkus recovery but I use fastboot and it just stalls out on parsing pc36img there's a few different links on his dl. page I tried the Mason g.zip I tried flashing it in recovery and it says installation. aborted how do I get clockwork. off and smelkus on?

No, your phone only needs to be S-OFF to flash radios, and I dont think the evo is gonna be getting new radios anytime soon
