First off,what roms did you try flashing and Then you need to wipe everything,from data/factory reset,cache,data,android_secure,SD ext.,system,dalvik-cache,never the SD card.Now understand that sense 3.5 roms take alot of space,so the boots and such take longer and boot more times.

I tried Nitrous and Express.
This is the first time i have seen instructions to wipe SD ext and system.
So here is what i did per your instructions.
I went right down the wipe list in amonra haus mod rev .a and performed the following wipe operations:
Wipe ALL userdata/factory reset
Wipe CACHE
Wipe DALVIK-CACHE
WIPE DATA
Wipe SDCARD:.android-secure
Wipe SYSTEM
Wipe SDEXT
Wipe DATA:battery stats
I did not wipe the following:
Wipe BOOT
Wipe SDCARD
Wipe DATA:rotate settings
I then flashed this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542036
I had heard to give everything lots of time to complete, so i have let my phone sit in the boot loop and reboot about 30 consecutive times. I think that's enough time to do something different. I then took the battery out to stop the boot loop, replaced battery and powered on the phone. It continued to boot loop, and i let it sit again for another 5 or so mintues boot looping away. I pulled the battery again and powered it back on and it continued to boot loop. It reboots every 25 seconds and the only thing i see on the screen is a black background with
"htc EVO 4G"
In white letters across the middle.
I Wiped everything again and this time i also did
Wipe DATA:battery stats
I then partitioned the sdcard again, with
SWAP: 32
ext2:1024
then under the partition menu in amonra, i selected
SD:ext2 to ext3
that process complete
Then i go to the main recovery menu and select
USB-MS toggle
and copy over the ROM from my pc to the sd card. this was the only thing i copied over and the sd card is totally empty accept for the 269MB ROM zip file. (in past attempts i have copied over the ENTIRE contents of the sd card that i backed up)
I then flash the zip and wait for it to complete.
It finishes and then goes into the boot loop again. and i've let it continue to try and do anything other than what i have described above. It does not. I pull the battery and it boot loops again.
Is there something else in the partitioning process that i need to do? Do i need to format the sd card first or after?
What you really need to wipe is: boot, system, data, cache, dalvik, and sd ext [if partitiooned], and you're good to go. Wipe the boot, and then try again.

Thanks for the help!
edit: I wiped everything you said and nothing else and i still get boot loops. It reboots once every 30 seconds or so and i let it keep rebooting for about 8 minutes. Then i popped the battery and let it try to boot again but i got the same boot loop.
Again, i really do appreciate the help, what should i try next?
After flashing the rom wipe cache and dalvik again before reboot if it loops more than 3 full loops pull battery and reboot to recovery wipe cache and dalvik then under.advanced menu fix permissions(uid mismatches) and the wipe cache and dalvik again and reboot when wiping before flashing wipe each option a few times in a row until they complete the wipe rather quickly that will ensure they are wiped properly. U can also try reflashing your recovery or changing recoveries to amon RA 2.3 or amon RA style supersonic recovery v3.11 depending on what recovery you are using currently

The ROM flash goes directly to a reboot so i never get the chance to wipe anything after it installs.
if it loops more than 3 full loops pull battery and reboot to recovery wipe cache and dalvik then under.advanced menu fix permissions(uid mismatches) and the wipe cache and dalvik again and reboot

The last time i wiped everything about 4 times in rapid succession and then let the phone sit for about 5 minutes before flashing the ROM. Still got boot loops
For the ROM in question the OD posted a specific version of amon ra recovery, Haus Mod, and said it worked. I downloaded that reovery from

someone else suggested that as well. I did md5 checksums on the file i downloaded and on the file as it sat on the card, and both were identical.
This also happens when i try to flash another newer ROM that requires partitioning the sd card.
What should i try to do next?

HTC EVO 4G reboot
After having had the same re-boot problem and reading the postings here and other forums and having tried all the solutions I still have the problem. I can only conclude that it is hardware related. Some of the HTC EVO 4G phones have this defect and there is nothing to do but get a new phone. This is a good reason not to root the phone until you have run the phone long enough to uncover any defects and have your carrier replace the phone. Living with an unreliable phone has made it personal for me. I won't buy another HTC product. What then, is the best Android/iPhone alternative currently?

All products... And I mean all products will have defects. You got the one in a million. And that sucks, it really does. But you need to realize one defective product does not mean ALL HTC phones are terrible. If I were you, I would talk to Sprint and HTC, it may be a long shot. But if this wasn't your fault, one of them should try to help you fix it.

Same here. But i have had my evo 3D for nearly a year and have had no issues. I only decided to root because all the bloatware that gets added with every system update was killing me, then i found out u can flash ROMs and such. I have a headache from this bootloop issue as well and i was wondering, after you gain S_OFF, HBOOT returns to *** LOCKED *** and i was wondering if that had to be unlocked before flashing, but i havent heard anyone say to do this.
Flashing a ROM and getting stuck on boot is an issue with the ROM usually, flashing a ROM and getting stuck at a black screen that may or may not reboot is usually kernel base mismatch. Flashing a ROM that just plain reboots usually means something is wrong with system boot or one of the caches. Between different ROMs and or ROM bases (stock, modified stock, custom aosp) you need to perform a full system wipe before flashing new rom. I have a guide for the new evo lte but all the relevant knowledge is the same. And sorry for crashing the thread I'm very tired and I thought I was in the lte forums

Ok, I just finished formatting one of my memory cards and installed a new rom. It booted fine. I went back into recovery to wipe the cache and dalvik and when I go to reboot it stays stuck at the white HTC screen. This has happened with multiple roms. After that I went back into recovery to try to reflash the rom and this is when the errors from last night come back:
Gets all the way to formatting cache, then system, then copying files....
E:Failure at line 6:
Copy_dir Package: data DATA:
Installation aborted.
This is the problem I've been running into before I formatted the card. This is a brand new Evo, with the 2.02 boot, version 4.
If I wipe data
What does this sound like? Something go bad in the rooting process? Maybe something to do with Amon recovery? Maybe try clockwork or what?
I rebooted into recovery and wiped all 3 then went to install the rom on the card and it installed this time. I don't remember my last phone working anything like this at all... not sure what gives.

Ive seen this also with a new phone that has the older hBoot, just without the errors. Couldn't get it to take a custom ROM but you could flash kernels with no problem.
Have you tried running the RUU and then reflashing the recovery?

I think it might be something with the recovery, because I tried to flash Clockwork via rom manager and it said it took, but Amon is still there. I'm going to flash the pc36 ruu that was originally used to see if it has any affect.

What ROM were you on before you flashed Salvage Mod? If it was a sense rom, you need to perform a full wipe (data/factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, boot, system) prior to flashing the new rom. When you said you cleared 'all cache', do you also mean you cleared dalvik cache as well? What recovery are you currently using? I'm on salvage 1.2.1 right now, and I've never had a problem booting it. When you say it won't boot, what does it do? Does it boot loop, or does it hang at the splash screen (white htc evo 4g screen)? The more info the better. I'd basically suggest doing a full wipe though, and try again.

Can you boot into the bootloader? Power off your device. Simultaneously press the DOWN volume button and the power button until your device starts. After a short pause, a few lines of text should scroll across the screen and then you will see a few options. One of the options will be recovery. Anyway, at the top of the screen, you should see either S-ON or S-OFF. Hopefully, it displays S-OFF. Anyway, select recovery from the set of options and then, as k2buckley has instructed, go to the wipe menu and wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card itself. When you're done, do not reboot. Go to the flash menu and flash the rom you want to flash. Do not flash the gapps zip yet. Reboot after flashing the rom. I want to make sure you're able to boot into the homescreen. If you're successful, reboot into recovery, wipe cache & dalvik and then flash the gapps.zip. afterwards, reboot. When you're all setup, go back I to recovery and make a nandroid backup.

also, make sure you got the full ROM, not just the patch for going from 1.2 to 1.2.1. I did that
I was having similar issues, mine went into a boot loop about twice before getting hung up at the initial setup with FCs. I was coming from CM7 Nightly 41 that was acting weird with FC's, I always double wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset. I thought that I might have had a bad download so I re-downloaded, wiped and flashed. I couldn't get past the initial setup so I went back to Ultimate Droid and have been running that for the last 4 days or so with out any major problems except for the Facebook update dicking things up and one random reboot that I had today... I really want to give Salvagemod a shot though since it's Evo-centric.
still not working for me
hey guys... i been trying to boot into salvage mod for the past 2 days... i get it to install just fine i do get the salvage screen up too...
then when the rom is supposed to be loaded up i get the Android dude with emergency call and a crash u keep pressing ok then it goes away and comes back right away... i just wiped everything again and reflashed it and now i am stuck with salvage screen re looping..
any help would be appreciated
thanks
The OP's problem was solved in a second thread by following the below instructions:
Download a fresh copy of both amon RA v2.3 (PC36IMG.zip) and Salvage-Mod 1.2.1 and place both on the root of your SD card. Make sure there is no other file named PC36IMG.zip. on the root of your card. If there is, put that particular file in a folder. Now shutdown your device. Boot into the bootloader screen. The bootloader will automatically detect the PC36IMG.zip file and prompt you to install. Follow the prompts to install. Installation should take less than 10 seconds. Afterwards, reboot into your new recovery. Go to the wipe menu and wipe everything except the SD card. Do not reboot. Go to the flash menu and flash Salvage-Mod. This *should* work.

have you tried clearing cache in recovery?
if that doesn't work, i would do a wipe and reflash the rom.
I run that ROM with no problems. Try wiping everything (cache data dalvik), and then reflashing the ROM. It's always going to take a little longer to start up the first time, like 5 minutes, but should be faster from there.
Im a little new so thank you for the patience, here is a quick order of how i was taught to flash
wipe data/factory reset twice
wipe cache partition twice
go to advance
wipe dalvik cache twice
wipe battery stats twice
install zip from sd card
choose zip from sd card
then select the rom,
after that the screen has the black background and android then flashs the white background htc,
any corrections you advise are appreciated
Are you using Clockwork or Amon Ra?
If Amon Ra, which I suggest you use, Wipe everything, except SDCard: (And Battery Stats if not fully charged). Everything else gets wiped.
Then flash the ROM and reboot.
Im useing Clockwork, will give it a third try
This time the evo loaded Kings Alliance (which i pulled from backup, previously today)
AKWARD??
Where did you get the ROM from? Possibly a bad zip file. Check the Dev section and download it from there. Then reflash and see how that works.
It probaly was a bad file i flashed a new one so now im working on overclocking thanks everyone
hey,
I am having this issue with my evo if I flash a new rom it decides to keep me at the white htc evo 4g screen and just wont load, It will also do it if i just simply reset the phone and just keeps me at that screen forever, I am able to boot into recovery where I can factory reset and wipe my cache and that will make it boot until the next reboot... and it sucks because I love my evo but this is killing me every time I want to reset my phone i have to completely physcially reset it -_- any one have any idea what might be going on?
What rom/kernel/recovery are you using? What was your process in flashing the rom?

I was using a rooted stock rom, but it happened with MIUI and one of the team noctural stock roms to, I am using stock kernal with all. Recovery I was using clock work, but I unrooted and rooted again flashing Amon but still same issue :/ Now after unrooting and rerooting and using Amon it does it less, but it still gives me that random boot stuck, and if i flash anything it will make me do it again to.
I boot into recovery wipe my data then cache and davlik
then I flash the rom,
then I go wipe data and my cache again

I did partition my sd card, and ty I will give it a try and let you know how it goes.
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
Sent from my PG06100
I have the revolutionary recovery. Do I need to replace that with the smelkus mod?

If you've wiped cache, dalvik cache, and factory reset your phone then you have no ROM to boot into. Flash a rom and you'll be good to go

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
