I have a year old evo 4G,had cm7 stable,nightlys,beta sense 3.5 rom's,and I deleted everything from phone and sd card,The sd seems like its not putting any new roms to the phone,It boots up to the htc evo 4g screen,then to the sense ''black screen that says' andriod' then just stays there..i go into recovery and install zip and phone says no such files found,bad sd card? Any new rooted stock sense roms to put in then build from there? I don't want the bloat crap,I must be able to remove it,phone has been rooted for a year using unevoked,s-off,Hboot-2.10.0001,Touch panel-atelc03_16ac,Radio-1.36.00.04.02,oct 15 2010...I really need to get this thing working again,boss is always calling me,and I don't want to get into a shouting match over my useless phone,not hat i care anyway... but any help would be helpful.. FYI,Last rom I was on was KINGS bliss and I did a factory reset on that rom,Stupid noobie....
If your on amon ra plug your phone into your computer and in recovery enable usb-ms toggle and then you will be able to put a ROM on your SD card

Do the same thing for clockwork but instead of usb-ms toggle go to mounts and then you will see a option that says usb mass storage

I'm doing this as of the moment.
Ok,got that right now,What's next? just go to yur rom dowloads,right? Maybe flash vr.superwipe before I proceed to a new rom? No go,Gets stuck at box with arrow to little andriod guy,Well what now should I toggle anything? Just choose apply zip?
On the computer download a ROM and then put the Rom onto the root of the SD card of the phone.then you will have a ROM to flash in recovery

Kings bliss rom worked for a day and half,no problems,I don't care about 4G,I live in the sticks,but after a while,It kept telling me andriod.process.acore whatever forcelosed,And the phone will not accept any downloaded roms now,from the regular computer I have,On the previous posts,It did work,the bliss rom,and with the app market,Now I'm right back at a blank phone again...hboot comes up,recovery comes up,But i download a rom,to sd card...Forget it,tells me no such files found now,Didn't do that before,or Am I missing the steps to load a rom to the phone?
I have a feeling this beta Kings bliss rom,screws evrything up,I know it's beta ,but....It worked good for me at first,till week later,WTF...
Are you just trying to reflash a ROM onto your phone or are you wanting to recover everything that you deleted from your SD card?
If you are wanting to recover the data you deleted from your SD card I recommend mounting the card to your computer via your recovery and then running file scavenger (free to download) to recover the deleted files.
after you recover your files with filescav then you can reformat the SD card, replace the contents of the card, and continue on your merry way without having to start over from scratch.
I'm trying to dowload a ROM to the sd card,I extracted files to sd card via recovery and micro sd adapter,Then I try to choose zip,apply and always says no such files,always says E-can't open sd/card/update.zip,Installation aborted...I tried 3 diff sd cards,even bought a brand new one with nothing on it,the files are there on the card but...Am I missing something here??? Always worked in the past.... And Yes,I'm trying to re-flash a diff ROM,I'm staying away from the KingsBliss Beta Rom till it gets striaghtened out...

Ok,I backed up to the new cm7 rc1,got the phone going again,but what's with the sd-ext not found???
Nothing important from what I know its just if you were to partition ur sd card.. Also I can upload mikg amon_ra that u can flash via bootloader if you need it. I was getting amazing sd speeds with that recovery...
Really?I will try this,but I have to delete the 2.3.5 google stuff first,It kept rebooting on me after dowloading a app from the market,I just wanted to try it,This rom is my brand new back-up,No more stock evo rom anymore,I just want to get the sd-ext working again,Any gapps files floating around for 2.3.7?? For some reason,any file installs from sd,but phone tells me ist's empty,I will try the partition,I just want the sd cards I have working 100% again,I have 2GB worth of Roms to use on my computer,I just like flashing,I guess...But yeah I will research mikeg Armon-ra,where Do I look??I was thinking about it when I was figiuring how to get the evo going again...
I haven't partitioned my sd card yet. I just wanted to get some info on this first. I am currently running CM7 and I'm aware that you don't need to partition to run this rom. I was thinking about trying MikG v3.00 or Decks and wanted to know if there were any threads on partitioning the Evo or any tips you guys could give me? Any suggestions? Once you partition your sd card do you tend to leave the set up as is regardless of using different roms? Does partitioning erase everything on your memory card?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

After you partition you do (well I do) tend to leave things how they are. After you partition to do a nandroid you have to backup sdext now and when you wipe you have to wipe sdext to go to a new rom. Also partitioning will 100% erase it so have to backup to your pc

Ok so i just partitioned my sd card using TWRP. Then I mounted my sd card and put the zip for MikG v3.0 on the root. I did a full wipe. Then proceeded to install the rom. But now it just says 'Unable to open zip file' It looks like its trying to load. I'm not sure what to do. Should I try another rom?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Oops right post lol, sent me to a different post in the thread and lost me now back to the answer
Signature verification is for flashing signed and unsigned zips no need to enable it unless you need to flash a HTC signed zip with it off you can flash any zip in recovery signed or not

Only if you want to use SWAP, think of swap as extra RAM, so if ur short on RAM swap might help, but swap is slower than RAM, and your need a Kernel with SWAP support.

I am using energy 3.5 sense rom with an anthrax kernel. I just got my new 32gb sd card and have been looking into partitioning it. I tried once and couldnt seem to find the ext2 folder. I put my 8gb card back in. I have done some looking into it some and am wondering what is the best way to partition with clockworkmod? after i do get my sd card partitioned do i have to reflash the rom and kernel? I read it in a tutorial but was wondering if it was essential. Also, if i go to AmonRa 2.3 where can i find it? i can never seem to find where to download it.
Thanks guys im still trying to learn.

Yep, Moreno is dead on the money. I partitioned mine with Amon-Ra and had zero problems. Of course, then I accidently wiped my SD Card while doing a flash and had to start over. Make sure you use Dark Tremors Apps2SD after installing your ROM to take full advantage of your partition (but you probably already knew that!).

is it true that after partitioning your sdcard that older nandroids you have from where the sdcard was not partitioned cant be used without causing some issues?
It shouldn't be a problem... I believe I have seen that question before and the dev kinda of covered that with this recovery, he actually did a fantastic job so to be honest you won't have any issues as far as that, it still should do the trick.
Ok thanks. Was also wondering if it's necessary to do a fresh download/install of all apps from the market?

You need to partition the SD Card if the Rom is A2SD enabled, and you want to use it. Yes it should be done before you flash the Rom. You should also find out what type of partition. Does the the Rom call for an ext.3 , or ext4 partition. If you are going to partition your SD Card you need to make a backup on the PC first. Partitioning the SD Card will wipe the card clean.

Not all Roms will work. If the Rom is built so that a2sd is enabled automatically, it will not work correctly. Things will be missing. You can have FC issues. In some cases I've had them not even Boot. So it is better to have the SD Card partitioned before you Flash if the ROM calls for it.

all the partitioning gets done thru recovery.

Hey guys, noob here. I am going to be flashing my phone today too.
Death by soaps mod seems to be what I am looking for, but I just want to make sure I am doing everything right.
I have turned s-off with revolutionary and backed up everything with both clockworkmod and smelkusmod and saved everything on my computer.
I am not 100% sure how to continue with partitioning and flashing though. Do you have a recommended guide partitioning and flashing with your mod? I have found some general guides, but they are for other mods and I dont want to screw anything up.

Ok. Simple.
1. Move everything on your sd card to your comp.
2. Use smelkusmod as its the best.
3. Go to partition card or something to that extent.
4. Set your desired size, 1 or 2 gigs is good enough, depending on how many apps you have/use.
5. Set swap to 0
6. Wait for it to partition.
7. Upgrade ext from 2 to 3 to 4.
8. Put all your stuff back on the sd card.
Flashing
1. Use format all/superwipe option in wipe menu of smelkus to wipe.
2. Go to flash zip or something like that.
3. Select the file and confirm.
4. Wait for it to do its thing then reboot.
Done!

Nope no need to partition again. That's done. Also you dont need to wipe for mods unless the OP states it.
For Roms, however,(what you just flashed) always do a full wipe/ superwipe and if going between versions of sense and aosp, always wipe the sd ext.
For kernels always wipe cache and dalvik cache before flashing.

Not really. A 64GB card will work just fine with one exception. The recoveries can not access the 64GB card if it is formatted as exFAT. The ROM will handle it just fine but the recovery can only handle it if formatted to ext4 or FAT32. I still have my 64GB formatted as exFAT but I do not use if for nandroids. I either backup to internal memory or I pop in my 32GB card for recovery use.
Yes I formatted the 64gb card to fat 32 before using it in the phone.
My problem is I don't think I saved her nandroid back up from her old card, and the old one is wiped clean.
Could I use a nand from from my GS3?
I know I couldn't on my EVOs.
