Well every time I flashed the InfectedRom Eternity (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071547&highlight=eternity) it won't ever load past the white HTC Evo 4G boot screen and I have no idea why, I have wiped everything correctly and still nothing. Any ideas as to why?
What hboot do you have? It comes baked in with anthrax that doesn't work on ENG hboot .76

I am using Clock Work Mod Recovery v5.0.2.2
CWM is notorious for giving problems with flashing Roms because it doesn't properly wipe; I suggest you use Amon RA now just in case you might have recoveries already with CWM then try this Here it's an Amon RA recovery that can also flash CWM recoveries

So what your saying is use Amon RA? And I do have back ups made from CWM, so which one of those would I use and if I use one those in that link you said I will be using Amon RA just be able to use my CWM backups?

Download this one HERE move it to the root of your secure digital card and rename to PC36IMG.zip and flash with bootloader, once you have done this successfully go to recovery and then to restore you'll have the option to flash CWM recoveries

Okay thanks, I will give this a try, but shouldn't I use a supersonic version?
I have installed it, and it looks so much better than CWM. So everytime I want to install a new ROM should I just choose wipe all data/factory reset or what should I do?
You always need to wipe all data/factory reset, cache and dalvik cache when flashing a new Rom... I personally got into the habit of wiping all of those at least twice just to really ensure I get the best performance for the new Rom

I am currently running CM7 RC4 and for some reason when I try to use Clockwork recovery to do a backup, it just boots into RA recovery. Can't seem to get it to go to Clockwork recovery. Don't really care about that as I mostly just RA for flashing anyway, but I always used Clockwork for nandroid backups.
My question is which items do you typically check to do a nandroid backup with RA Recovery. When you go to backup, it defaults to back up Boot, System and Data. Do you have to back up the others as well? (cache, recovery, wimax, sd-ext and .android_secure)
I check everything except sd-ext. I don't use other forms of a2sd so it's not necessary for me because
cm7 has native a2sd. Everything else is backed up for sure. Try reflashing in rom manager to get back your clockwork recovery if you haven't. Update your rom manager in the market that might fix it.

At the top, click flash clockwork recovery. Or flash it via PC36IMG.
When I flash Clockwork recovery thru Rom Mananger and then reboot to recovery, it goes to RA Recovery

Take off the -1 in the name, then place on the sdcard, and boot into the bootloader, apply update, reboot, reboot into recovery and you'll be on clockwork.
I just installed Synergy but when I went to flash theme I got a amend script no longer supported in Clockwork 3.0 recovery . How do I fix or is there anotherway to install theme? I was able to flash carousel but not theme. Thanks!
Switch to Amon_RA recovery.

So to switch to Amon recovery I can just flash in recovery right. Do I need to do anything else? Thanks!

Just wipe the cache and dalvik before flashing. And if you didn't want to use amon_ra, you'd have to flash an older version of clockwork.
I just downloaded this Rom and installed as i have installed all of the other roms but when i tried to connect over my WiFi all i got is error it does not turn on
also the 4g gives me a unable to connect will some body help
Did you partition your SD card? That needs to be done.

It could be an incompatible kernel issue. Did you do a full wipe prior to flashing?
no i did not how do i do it is there a tutorial hon how to do it
In your recovery you would clear the cache and dalvik, do a factory reset as well and if available a system wipe. Then flash your ROM. You're S-OFF/ON? What does the development thread for your ROM say?

If you look at the download instructions on the OP of the ROM you will see that you need to use AmonRa recovery. Are you using Rom Manager? If so I suggest that you navigate to the bottom of the Rom Manager where it asks to install an alternate recovery and it will install AmonRa. Your next step would be to reboot into recovery again then select wipe and wipe everything 3 or 4 times then reflash the ROM.
Why do we have to wipe 3 or 4 times? Shouldn't a "wipe" wipe everything the first time?

just to make sure people dont complain about bugs if they didnt wipe a few times
Hey Ortizsal you may want to give this new recovery a shot... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339654 is AmonRA recovery that can also flash you're already saved CWM recoveries.

I'm in RA recovery,look in advanced and see if theres a partition option.I have'nt used clockwork in forever,i'm not sure of the changes in the updates.
Hello,
I have been flashing multiple roms today in hopes of getting something to work. However, it's always the same situation:
1. Followed instructions for flashing.
2. Flash goes well
3. Reboot
4. Stuck on initial splash screen for that room
Am I missing something? Or am i just bricked?
Thanks
Well, first how long did you wait? First boot always takes the longest. If it takes more then 5 minutes, reboot into recovery and delete cache and dalvik.

It was over 10 minutes. After I did what you said, it keeps rebooting now into recovery mode.
Here's what I currently have on:
1. CWMR 5.8 -Touch
2. TDJ Evo 4 v0
After a few booths I'm still stuck at the splash screen.
You may need a different recovery. The old recoveries did not wipe correctly. I recommend the latest TWRP

+1. Here is a flashable zip to TWRP 2.3.3.0.
http://db.tt/uvBu75ph
It doesnt really matter what recovery he's on. The problem is he's not wiping his previous rom before flashing the new rom. On cwm I believe you go to mounts and storage, then go down to format/system. I never used cmw touch so I might be wrong. A safe bet is to google "darkside super wipe" and "darkside cache wipe". Download the zips and save onto your sd card. Then just flash those two before flashing rom. And you can flash the cache wipe again after flashing rom and gapps (its recommended by some devs but I never got the point since the caches havent been built yet)

I managed to get All Star Rom 5 to load. I'm using that to download goomanager and install TWRP.
I love All Star Rom, but Wifi Calling is a must. I think Infamous is where I'm headed. Any issues with TWRP on that one?

I was wiping and doing all that.
So, after I got goomanager, I installed TWRP. Through that I attempted to install Infamous 3.1. Now, all I get is the Samsung Galaxy screen before recovery/booting, and nothing but black. I'm not sure what I screwed up this time around. Any ideas?

Agree to disagree
Goo manager wiped your recovery. You need to enter download mode and use odin to put cwm back on. Then flash the twrp zip file that was posted above.

Thanks for your reply. I figured that out after spending 15 minutes looking for a TWRP file to flash through odin. I used CWM and everything worked like a charm. Reflashed TWRP. Then I downloaded Infamous. Didn't flash it through goomanager. Instead booted into TWRP, found it, then flashed. Everything is good now. Thought I was bricked for a few minutes there.
Thanks everyone for your help.
I have a rooted HTC Evo 4G. It is rooted with revolutionary and the s-off. I didn't root my device. I was playing with trying to install busybox from the busy box installer. It failed. But now that I have rebooted the phone(swapped a new battery on). It is stuck on the HTC EVO 4G white screen. I can get to the hboot screen and can get into recovery for Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4. I have tried some stuff. I'm here so it's safe to assume nothing worked. I have wiped the cache partition, I have tried the Fix Permissions option, Wiped Dalvik cache, wipe data/factory reset. I am knowledgeable with computers. Just not sure about this issue or which direct to go.
What can I do to get the phone back operational? Is there an image i can put on the sdcard and flash this thing with? I think I can manage that.
I'm so late in the rooting game here, there is so much information, not sure what I'm looking at. So I thought I would just go ahead and ask the questions. Maybe I won't get beat up too much and get pointed in the right direction.
I'm sure someone here can help you. A detail that you may have left out in your explanation is: what ROM you expect the phone to boot into.
Sounds like you just need to re-flash a ROM while you are in recovery.
Plenty of ROMs around here to choose from. I might recommend a very simple "stock" ROM for starters.
Later on, consider using a different recovery going forward. Evos historically have had issues with CWM. Try Amon Ra or SmelkusMOD...
Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
Yup, I would recommend Smelkus after you fix this
Go into recovery and make a full backup first (this way you can advance restore data later)
Then, as suggested above, grab a stock rom and flash it through recovery (making sure to wipe EVERYTHING)
Last, try to boot up your phone. It should work
Once it does, restore any data if you need to...if not, flash SmelkusMod recovery and then flash your rom of choice

I have the revolutionary recovery. Do I need to replace that with the smelkus mod?

Thats incorrect....the rom isn't stored on the data partition, which is what a factory reset wipes
ROMs are loaded from the /system partiton
