i have an htc evo 4g phone that has the android 2.3.5 running and i have it rooted and it is running a recovery mode of Amon ra. i have been trying the past like 4 hours to put a Rom on my phone. i download the rom of my pc and than plug my phone to the pc and after the download is finished i drag the download over and it loads on the sd card. than i turn the phone off and go to recovery then i clear everything using superwipe program and than i would flash the rom. the rom would download and say it has downloaded to the sd card. Then i reboot the phone and it just comes to the HTC EVO 4G white screen and doesnt do anything after that. i waited for like 25 min. and nothing it just stays at that screen. ANY ideas on fixing this or what to do. I really appreciate it.

What rom? Are you flashing any additional mods or kernels? Have you tried manually wiping everything except sdcard 3 times?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
yeah .manually wipe everything like he said a few times. Then make sure your kernel is compatible with he from u are flashing u may need to dowlnload a kernel and flash it right after u flash your new from. I'm curious to what from u are flashing from and the kernel. And what from are u trying to install now

Rom manager is better IMO. Just use Rom manager, it never gave me any problems. Power off. Press volume down+power at same time, wait for HTC logo. It should take you to the white screen that shows you soff or son . Click recovery, wipe boot-data-cache-system. Click on advanced, clear dalvik and battery stats, reboot recovery and install your Rom. That's exactly what I do and it works everytime. I'm a noob myself don't go brick your phone.

ROM Manager is NOT better, it's way worse than doing it through recovery. Many people have problems and have even bricked devices due to Rom Manager. Just don't use it.
i just tried putting a prime xl rom for my phone and cleared eveything 3 times and stuff and it stills just goes to the white HTC EVo 4g screen. just no loading of the roms. thanks for all your answer and help guys. still am confused.
Yeah do it from recovery. Not rom manager. Never heard of that rom. Gonna try it on my phone tonight and check it out. Again did u see if the kernels u are using are compatible. That was my problem a few times when flashing sure is the link for the rom u are trying to install.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA
If you restore from your nandroid backup, does it boot up?
Like others have stated, your checklist prior to flashing anything should be 1. Make sure you have more than 30-40 % battery charge, Download Rom, Kernel, and if your ROM is AOSP, gapps, place on SD, reboot into recovery, I have always used AmonRa 2.3, Nandroid first...... wipe ALL (x3), flash ROM, flash gapps if AOSP, flash kernel compatible w your build (2.3.), Reboot.....be patient while first boot takes a little longer than normal. Hope this helps

got my evo about a month ago. rooted lastnight since unrevoked finally pushed out their 3.3 version which is updated for my version of hboot (2.02). the root went very smoothly. i installed the latest cyanogenmod rom, only to discover there was no market or gmail app with the rom! wish i had known that before. after doing some research online, i found out i needed to flash or install a "gapps" apk. so, looked around for that for a couple hours and couldn't find it. i downloaded what i thought would be the right .zip file to get the market on my phone (a vending.apk that was listed in another thread having to do with this same issue). so anyway... downloaded that, moved it to the root of my sd card, flashed it through clockworkmod recovery (by the way, everything up until this point was perfect) and finally rebooted my phone... only it never rebooted. the white htc EVO 4G screen was there. then, black screen, as if it was about to begin the cyanogenmod boot screen and fully boot. but, no. it went from white evo screen to black screen... to OFF. after this, i couldn't even turn it on to get it into hboot or access recovery. tried to do that for two hours. and finally i was able to get in... so i tried doing a factory/data reset through recovery, then a cache clear, then reboot. nothing. same thing. went back into recovery, tried reflashing cyanogenmod rom again. nothing. tried flashing myn's rom. nothing. all i get is installation aborted.
i am pretty sure that this is not a complete brick since i am now able to access hboot and recovery. but if i can't flash anything... and i'm stuck in hboot and recovery and cant boot my phone... what the hell do i do now? please help me figure this out!! anybody have any good advice or a known fix...??
Boot into recovery. Do a factory reset. then wipe cache and dalvik catch. Re flash cynagon and let it boot. You then need to find gapps.zip. Boot into recovery flashing gapps.zip.
i did all that. step by step. and when i reflashed the rom, that is when it wouldn't install, saying installation aborted. but, i'm gonna do it again. let's see if my phone wants to play nice now...

If that does not work! you are going to have to update with sprint lovers rom, that is in a PCM36IMG.ZIP. Install it by holding the _vol and th power button, boot into boot loader, than it will search for the zip file and ask you if you want to update, say yes ans just weigh for it to be done. Its going to take few minutes first boot! just hold on. I hope this helps in anyway.

Did you try a rooted RUU yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
Wipe everything twice first (just to be safe). Are you using Amon RA or Clockwork, by the way? The only other thing I can think of would be that your SD card isn't formatted properly, but that would have to mean you intentionally formatted it or put in a new one that didn't have the right files on it.

i am using clockwork. i've wiped so many times... but i can't make anything happen. and, i did format the sd card eventually, but not until a couple of hours ago... and only as a last resort because nothing else worked and i've been trying to fix this since last night, so i figured it couldn't hurt. but if that is part of the problem... how can i fix it? thanks for your response. i don't know what else to do other than take it in for a switch.l but if i can get into hboot... then sprint can too... and they will see that i'm rooted and void warranty. so am i completely screwed?
I had same issue.
I just reflashed the sprintlover rom (PC36IMG.ZIP) which came with Amon_RA recovery.
Then i installed the CM6 with Amon_RA recovery and everything works fine now.
Good that i did Titanium backup few days before
This is happening to me too. Almost everything he's describing is the same. Except I installed a gapps.zip and then it wouldn't boot after that. No matter what I flash, it either gives me a status 7 error and aborts the install or it may "install successfully" but it never boots. Also tried the pc36img.zip as well. I had a nandroid backup and tried to restore that, but that aborts saying cannot flash boot image. Tried a rooted and also an unrooted stock ruu, they won't work and the .exe version on a pc can't find my phone when I plug it in and power it on. Anyone have any Ideas for me. I can get more specific error messages and hboot numbers, etc. if needed.
I think you should get Amon recovery PCIMG zip file and change recovries and try everything again... IMO
Edit: I posted the Amon file and all you have to do is rename it to PCIMG.zip. Also I think the gapps you were looking for you can find on the cm site itself or within that thread. Sorry if it sounds like I a being negative but I see alot of people get on noob and I wondered why but unfortunately its because things like this happen. In the OP for CM6 it says to use Amon and backup your keys. Now if you get your phone backup you got to first check and make sure your RSA keys are in tact unless you backed them up already.
Joeykrim has a app on the market to check or there are numerous threads on what to do. Sorry and hope it works out for you if not INS is your friend

Yea but have you tried Amon and from what I read and this is from developers Amon has a much better handle on things as far as backing stuff up, partitions and protection of keys.
I ran Clockwork on my wifes phone because to me its simple and works with Rom manager but after a while I just said F it and switched since it was messing up my backups. Hey to each his own..
Ok, I don't believe that your device is bricked. You may have flash the wrong gapps or something, but is should be easy to fix.
First, download these 3 files and put them on the root of your SD card:
Cyanogen 6 stable for evo
Latest gapps for HDPI
Calkulin's format all
Red through first, then follow my instructions EXACTLY:
1.) Boot into recovery.
2.) Flash Calkulin's all format. This will wipe everything that needs wiping. (everything but the SD card)
3.) Without exiting recovery immediately flash the CM6 .zip. Do not flash the gapps yet.
4.) Reboot the device now. It will boot into cyanogen, but will not have market or anything. Once fully booted, reboot to recovery.
5.) Do not wipe or anything, just flash the gapps HDPI.
6.) Boot the phone and enjoy.
Evo won't load any roms, can only get into clockwork recovery
Okay, so if I try your steps, just like before The install gets almost to the end, then I get:
"assert failed: write_raw_image ("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-6.1.2-supersonic-signed.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Sorry Playya, I wanted to try this one more time first. I'm going to try loading Amon Ra now. do I need to rename it to pcimg.zip or should i just flash the current file name?
In case it helps anyone, I have

it may say oops if you battery level is low... I think Amon is so much better its just that Unrevoked puts Clockwork in with their root so people get lazy and leave it in... Amon - its the way to go.
1. Charge your battery and try again
2. Backup your wimax keys - then check how big the file is and hopefully its like 12 megs... If so keys may be ok

Sorry. I'm just paniking for the fact my phone is stuck on the boot screen and I'm jusst trying to get help asap. And actually the other thread was about if my phone was rooted so this thread is on another topic.
Are you still able to boot into recovery? And if so, what is displayed in your screen?
So I took the battery out, put it back in.. held power and the volume button it took me to where it says s-off n did a system recover. It worked!!! Haha... now I wanna try again but can u tell me what I did wrong??? I downloaded the cyanogen 6.1.1 and just started it up with the google stuff. It rebooted did its thing n stayed at the boot screen... am I supposed to clear something?? I read somethin like that when I was on google with my gfs phone.

Which version of ClockworkMod are you using?
Since you trie to flash a CM6.1. rom (which is froyo, android 2.2 based) you must use a ClockworkMod 2.5.x or below (or compatible).
And did you install Engineering HBoot? Sorry for asking, but it's unclear to me what you exactly have been doing already.
I did the visionary/gfree root last night without the hboot. And I tried the cyanogen 6.1.1 which was suggested by another user on here in one of my threads.

Apart from the fact that it seems to me that you skipped a step (hboot), which you have to perform , you are also trying to flash a 2.2 rom with the wrong recovery. Try with the 2.5 version in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898151

First of all, flashing the engineering HBOOT is not required unless you want to use fastboot on your computer. Also, if you used ROM Manager to flash ClockworkMod Recovery, that version is supposed to support both 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs. It was only the beta version of the recovery that was on this forum that only supported 2.3 and not 2.2---unfortunately, it was also labeled 3.0.0.5 and caused lots of confusion).
As far as why you are stuck at the boot screen, did you wipe data/cache when you flashed the ROM? Whenever you switch to a completely different ROM (as opposed to simply upgrading one), it's a good practice to. Also, the first time you start a new ROM, it'll take longer to boot up since the phone will be rebuilding its dalvik-cache (on CM6.1, it's be at a CM animation).
Ahh yeahhh okay good. So u cleared it all up for me n now my phone is running great

Go to unrevoked.com, download the program and hboot drivers from the site. Install then unistall htc sync on your pc, enable usb debugging on your phone, connect to pc in charge only, then run unrevoked

unrevoked is pretty fool proof. I was too scared to root my evo (had it 6 months, thought about it every day) Rooted it and that night started flashing custom roms. I flashed three or 4 before landing on Warm Z twopointtwo with netarchy kernel.
Aight I'll have to give it a try.
It is easy. I'm a noob to rooting and was a breeze. Now just need to get brave on kernels.

make sure USB debugging is enabled, make sure htc sync is NOT on your computer, make sure u have the drivers downloaded and installed from unrevoked, and make sure ur phone is connected to charge only, also, anti virus/firewalls may mess it up, and make sure ur screen timeout is set to like 30 min so the screen doesnt shut when its rooting ur phone

Aw, it's the screen timeout, didnt think of that.
It safe to rerun? Cause it went through and pushed it and rebooted the phone..
Oh, nvm. Just changed the screen timeout to never, and re-ran unrevoked, and it worked. Cool cool.
Ok, I have one last question, if/when I decide to put a rom/kernal on, i just put it on the root of the sd card, and flash it via the clockwork orange recovery menu correct?
You will want to usually wipe all your data, cache, dalvik-cache before you shoot a new rom, some roms include wipe features with them such as Virus' new Sense 3.0 B1, however you can grab Caulkins Format all which works well too. Then just apply the zip package via recovery.
Don't wipe data when flashing anything other than a rom. When flashing kernels, themes, mods, etc just wipe cache and dalvik.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
yeah when flashing a ROM, make sure you go into the wipe menu, and wipe AT LEAST data/factory reset/cache/and dalvik cache, if using clockwork it might be a good idea to wipe twice, then yes, as long as the rom is on the root of your sd card you can click install zip from sd and choose the rom and it will flash for you, If you don't wipe you will run into many problems, boot loops, force closes, bunch of bunch of things.and +1 to what plainjane said, only wipe data for flashing a rom , and only cache and dalvik cache for doing themes, kernals, anything besides a rom. If you wipe data to flash a theme, u will erase ur rom and have nothing to flash to. But i think you get the idea! glad to see you finally rooted your phone! welcome to the addiction!
haha yup!
if i flash a rom, do i have to flash a kernal to, or no?
thats the most im confused about.
So far the only thing I've done is use unrevoked, and made a backup, backed up my 4g key. so if I were to use CM7 7.0.2.1, I would put it on the root of the sd card, wipe the data and stuff, then put the frost theme from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=852021&highlight=cm7+rom and flash it?
You don't need to flash a kernel with a new Rom. But it's always an option for better performance,battery life, ect...

When you flash a rom, are you wiping the system? What recovery are you using? You should use twrp; as cwm sucks on the evo.

What method did you use to root your phone and what recovery are you using? If you don't wipe things like Dalvik cache and data when you flash a new ROM you're just setting yourself up for failure.
Sent using my EVO 4G and a magic wand
I'm using clockworkmod for it. I wipe it and back it up whenever I use a new ROM because I know it will end up not working so I have to reset it. I don't know what twrp is by the way. I don't remember the method because I rooted my phone in 2010 the day I got my phone. I use ROM Manager to download all my ROMs
Stay away from ROM Manager and do everything from recovery. TWRP is Team Win Recovery Project, one of the better recoveries for the EVO. Use it or Smelkus and ditch ClockworkMod, as it is known to cause issues on the OG EVO. Do a search in the Development section for either of those recoveries, install and don't look back.

After I set up everything on my Sense 2.1 ROM,i backed it up,the screen would get to the boot animation,get past the boot animation,id see my lock screen for 1 SECOND,and then it would start the bootup again.seeing as this was a problem,i WIPED All Cache and Factory Reset/Wipe Data on My Revolutionary Recovery.Then,I Restored the 2.1 Backup that i created and everything was fine again.Then again,i decided to Flash Mikrunny's Sense 3.5 ROM,which after i set up,worked fine,UNTIL YESTERDAY.I was driving in my car yesterday,listening to music on The STOCK HTC Music app on Sense 3.5,and the phone rebooted on its own.And it would not stop until i took the battery out.I got home,charged the battery for a bit,(shut down that is),then headed to recovery.I took out the SD card and rebooted the phone,but no luck.tried this rebooting process for an hour,until i decided to wipe cache and factory reset to my 2.1 ROM BACKUP.it works,but i just wanna know,am i doing something noobingly wrong when backing up and restoring roms? Also,i use Revolutionary's Backup,or I think its called Nandroid,to do backups and restores,and ROM MANAGER to edit their names and delete them.Also,an added side to his problem,when i boot to the Hboot screen,when it loads,for a few of the items it says,missing or wrong image.could that be the problem?? THANK YOU SO MUCH WHO REPLIES AND HELPS.:crying:

What OP wrote applies to me as well. I am looking for something better than aerovan's CM9 (which has been my DD), and thought I would give Viper a try. Without fail, bootlooping (which I could have guessed since I did tacoroot and this seems to be an issue with sense based roms).
That said, I tried steps 1 through 4 and the bootlooping stopped in Viper - it goes through startup and just shuts down before leaving the boot screen. One strange thing that I noticed is that the ICS Firmware/radio with Viper (which I loaded in CWM), wouldn't load in 4ext. Maybe I'll give paranoid a go if I can't resolve this bootlooping issue in Viper! I hope OP has better luck.
U don't flash radio in cwm..look for a how to.. can't explain I'm working sry

I'm not as knowledgeable as Chilly, but a thought did occur to me. if the cm9 rom included a kernel on the flash and then you went to a sense based rom that didn't include a kernel that could cause a problem. I believe that I read that cm using a kernel that is asop based while sense roms use a different based kernel. You may check to see what kernel you have and then check for the recomended kernel for that rom and flash that kernel. don't forget to wipe.

All of the roms come with a kernel for our phone, but certainly, don't flash a sense kernel with aosp or vice versa after rom flash. Chilly is right. Flashing a newer radio should fix the problem and the radio is flashed with a PG32IMG.zip in the bootloader, not in the recovery.

Good call. When chilly said you don't flash kernels in recovery I hit my head. I flashed the radio, but now my challenge is getting back into recovery since I renamed the file and bootloader always finds it and wants to reboot or I load CM9 which stays on flash screen. I'll figure something out, maybe with adb. Thanks.
Power down, pop the sd out, boot to recovery, rename file, profit.

i made a stupid mistake of flashing radio in recovery, in fact the radio is for Samsung at&t and now my phone vibrates it doesnt show htc quietly brilliant, only vibrates and orange light with black screen untill i pull out the battery... i was able to return to stuck and it can only boot if its connected to power, it doesn't read sd card while android is booted and in recovery to, only in bootloader it reads sd... error in mounting if i try to... i flashed RUU.exe 2.3.3 and 2 other RUUs for my droid inc 2 but it keeps vibrating... please help me!!! thanks
I made the same mistake when i first gained s-off for my dinc2. the thing with the venom rom tho is if you ever want to go back to aosp ull need to gets chill's anti-venom zip and flash it through recovery because doing a normal wipe wont do the trick. also a helpful trick that worked for me with roms if i ever start getting boot loops i go into recovery from the bootloader menu and i wipe the dalvik cache under advanced and then wipe the chache under mounts and storage and it always works like a charm for me. but ive also learned that you have to be careful which kernel you flash with the rom of your choice because not only will it cause lags if you happen to get past the boot animation to the main screen but in some cases it can cause breaks in your framework like your wifi data etc. im not an expert tho those are just suggestions that im familiar with because theyve already happened to me before. hope this helps in any way.
