hey i'm a noob at this.. i rooted my htc evo 4g(2.3.3) with revolutionary and i have clockworkmod for installing my roms. i had kingdom rewind 3d installed and working perfectly, but i found another rom that i wanted to try. so i whiped data and formated my system and installed the new rom. i didn't like the new rom so i decided to switch back and now everytime i try to install the kingdom rewind 3d zip from sd card it keeps coming up with installation aborted. If someone could tell me what i'm doing wrong please tell me!

Ok first off,you should have backed up(nandroid)the kingdom rewind before installing the new rom(very important!),there is a chance that the kingdom rewind rom zip could be corrupted for a few reasons,i would install the other rom that worked and redownload the kingdom rewind rom,then put it on your sd card,backup the current rom,just in case(nandroid,very important!),install kingdom get it where you want it and back it up(nandroid,very important!),then you should be good to go.
You need to go read my guide, in my signature. It'll tell you everything you need to know
Also, make sure that you only have one ROM zip file on your SD card.

Huh? I have like 5 on mine. You can have as many as you want.
okay yeah you're right i forgot to do a backup like you said but now it won't flash any roms i keep getting the same thing for every roms zip. Installation aborted. i have an app on my mac that reformatted my sd card and whiped it could that possible be the problem? i still have a recovery of my original 2.3.3 which is what i'm use to restore into.

Meant, with the PC36IMG nomenclature.
BrandonNatal: So you have the ROM.zip on your memory card, your able to go into recovery, start the flash process. That's where you're met with the error? Or your naming the zip of your ROM PC36IMG, putting the memory card in your phone and entering bootloader? Have you done any recent updates?
The problem is that you're using Clockwork mod, which doesn't wipe properly.
Get Amon Ra, do a full wipe and try again

Evening all,
unrevoked, Clockwork mod 2.5.0.7, currently on auraxtsense 7.5.2
Trying to update to latest version of this rom 7.8.1, or Supervillain or any other rom and it doesn't work?
Get in to recovery, select required rom, it flashes very quickly but then cancels with an I/O error?
Any advice please?
Cheers
Done my friends fine, but can't do my own?!
got a similar problem - but I can't flash 7.9 ... can flash 7.8.1
any other roms - I can't ...
P.S. Trying to unroot and root again...

Did you wipe data and cache?
Try downloading that ROM again, maybe .zip is corrupted or something.

Exactly what I was going to recommend do wipe data and cache before.
I dont know the ROM you use but usually custom roms have their own app where you can flash updates without needing to go to recovery mod, I do not know if that is the case of your ROM but you better check it.
Before any changes, Nandroid and Titanium Backup, then full wipe of data, cache, dalvik.
Have downloaded roms from both Swedish and US servers for AuraxT, and have taken Supervillan 4 times now?
Could the sd card be causing the problem? It's a Sandisk 8GB class 6.

Well, it could... I have "noname" 32 GB Class4 card which used to give me erorr when flashing... I don't remember what erorr it was but it might be the same...
That mine sdcard is defective. I can't even copy image correctly on it... Will burn it soon
So, try flashing with another sdcard

First and foremost I'm a total noob too all this andriod rooting and flashing roms stuff so feel free to point and laugh at my stupidity lol.....Now thats out the way down to noob questions lol.
I attempted to flash myn's warm twopointtwo rls 2 last nite and failed doing it this is what I did so maybe somone here can shed some light on what I did wrong please.
1. I used unrevoked 3.21 on a mac to get the root. I achieved root & superuser icon.
2. Then I rebooted in recovery using clockwork mod (couldn't figure out how to flash RA mod which I read is better)
3. wiped factory reset, davlik and cache.
4. went into sd card tried to flash the rom and it would not doing anything.
5. Reboot and still be in htc stock.
Please help!! and yes I"m a noob lol
it looks like your steps are correct but what exactly happened when you selected the rom? that is the step it looks like there may be a problem.
make sure youa re selecting install rom from SD and not flash update.zip from sd.
otherwise once you select insall file from sd you should jsut have to scroll to the rom and hit the power button once to install it. shoudl be obvious that it is installing. once its done reboot and you should be good to go.
one last thought if you downloaded the rom on your mac i have heard that it can cause an issue. something about mac recompressing the zipfile as it downloads and not flashing. you may see if you can downlaod it directly to your phone or on a windows pc if you ahve one and try flashing that file.
I tried the install from sd card then chose the myn's rom and it didn't take just went back to main clockwork mod screen no installing...I have a dual boot mac at home with windows xp on it so I"ll try downloading it from there...I'll report back when I try again...Thank you for the reply
so I finally got around to trying to figure it out and it was a noob move I did of course...I didn't clear the sd ext that was my mistake...I am using Ra recovery now finally figured how to flash that also lol...Love andriod phones so far now on to custom roms!!! Thanks for all your help.
great glad to hear you got everything working!
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.

It's probably because you didn't wipe. (i call it 'skidding')
Get full-wipe-1.3 zip file & put that on your sd card too.
Run this from recovery before a new rom.
wait what? im tring to find out how to flash a theme?

What do you mean by 'flash a new theme'?
To my knowledge, a 'theme' is just an appearance (layout, wallpaper, icons etc), which doesn't require flashing.
If you're just talking about flashing different roms (that might have a different look from one to the next), then yes, it is advisable that you wipe first.
i mean how do i put this on the phone? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=951768

I see, learn something new everyday.
Appears more to it than actually flashing a rom; a lot to get right, but the instructions seem clear enough.
But, if you're having problems, i'd always advise wiping & start again.
im so lost : /, i wish there was a guide on putting themes

You're flashing roms so i assume you've got s-off etc, & you're using a 2.2.1 (1.72) sense based rom for this theme (+ all the other things you need to do, like uninstalling launcher pro etc)
What i'd do is...
put full-wipe-1.3, the rom (+ gapps if needed) & the theme on your sd card
reboot into recovery via rom manager
Install zip file via sd card
full wipe 1.3
then
the rom
then
gapps (if needed)
then
reboot...
then do all the things needed to allow the theme to work properly
& finally, reboot into recovery via rom manager again
install the theme (zip file from sd card)
reboot...
thanks alot fr the help but i think ill leave it as it is lol :/ ty nyway though
After flashing a rom normally, just reboot, go to clockworkmod again and flash the theme from SD. Just go to install zip from SD. No biggie

Instalation Aborted
I got it fixed i just went out and bought a new sd card.
Do you have enough free space on your SD card?
Yes I do i hope i do anyways i have 25.00gigs
Do you do factory data reset/clear cache/ clear dalvik? Are you using cwm 2.###? Do you wipe first with cwm3 then cwm? You really shouldnt have this much problems , you may want to go back to complete stock. Are you downloading roms to pc then transfering? Maybe files are corrupted. Thats about all i can tjink of. I dl roms directly from phone, then reboot to recovery to install. Never use rom manager.

I clear dvlik cache/cache/data and i'm using clockworkmod version 2.5.x.x i will not use 3.0 and im downloading roms to pc and then flashing and i wont touch rom manager and when i download from the phone i keep getting no enough freespace i think its trying to save it to the phone or something and not the sd card.
It would help if you would create full sentences with proper grammar and spelling... It only adds to the confusion to what your problem actually is. Try re-downloading the ROM. If it doesn't work again, try upgrading CWM, you can always downgrade it later if you need/want to. As donny said, the file may have been corrupted, I had this happen to me the very first time I tried flashing a custom ROM. I re-downloaded it, and re-copied it onto my phone and that seemed to work for me.
