4.0 SD card issues. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been trying to put mazwoz ice or aokp or any other ics rom on my wife's evo but every time I do the phone Says I have no sd card, it ran cm7 for a while with no problems, and if I go to any sense rom (like the backup of synergy i made before trying all this) the sd card is there. I'm not as familiar with the evos progress as my phone is the epic (not touch). Can anyone suggest anything for me???

Are you flashing any additional mods kernels ect? What is the wiping process your taking to flash the rom? What recovery are you using?

I'm not flashing any additional mods, I'm using whatever kernels comes with the rom, I'm on cwm and
Installation:
Wipe cache, dalvik, and data
Install rom
Install gapps
Reboot (no SD card)
Install nandroid backup of synergy (SD card works again)

I wouldn't recommend using cwm it doesn't always wipe correctly. The most used recovery on the evo4g is amon ra recovery which I recommend. But if you decide to stay with cwm try doing factory reset through recovery twice then wipe dalvik cache twice

I usually wipe all three, 3 times each when flashing roms, but I will try out amon ra and go from there. Thx.

[Q] Installing Rom from SD

I Have been trying to install Carbonite Fusion 4 from my sd card. I am using Rom manager and when it restarts it just reboots to the current rom even after clean wipe and data. Please advise on how i can install this rom or any other rom from my sd card.
Flash it through recovery, not rommanager. Wipe data, cache, and dalvik before flashing.

Recover Question

I installed my first rom (MIUI) yesterday and everything went well thanks to alot of reading. I like the way it look but i miss Sense. I did a backup before I flashed it so what is the steps to recover the back up with clockwork??
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Go back into recovery > backups> restore > choose the one you want. The names of the backups are based on the date you made the nandroid

Before I do that do I have to wipe anything?

I won't hurt........I always wipe cache and dalvik cache. Your phone will take a few minutes longer to reboot.....that's about the only drawback.

Not necessary, but it wouldn't hurt anything. Calkulin's Format_All.zip wipes Cache, Userdata, Dalvik, System, and a few others that I'm forgetting. If I remember correctly, it's just a script that tells your recovery to wipe all those things. Like I said before, I like to use it if I'm ever changing ROM "brands" (ie going from MIUI to CM7, or From Myn's to CM7, etc.) because the systems are usually significantly different
i believe wiping before doing anything regardless its restoring or flashing a new rom is the way to go with Calkulin's format all and his clear temp. just in case it misses something. but thats just my opinion =)

CM 7 Flash problems

Everytime I flash cm 7 I get to the screen where it says to touch the android to begin. Then it just keeps rebooting over and over. I then have to do a battery pull and restore back to cm6.
I have tried both RA and clockwork recovery. Did a full wipe everytime. Tried booting all of the versions of cm7. Any other ideas?

You have the right GApps? I've heard, if not, some have gotten boot loops.

Do a full wipe: wipe factory/data, cache, dalvik.
Flash CM7 along with those gapps. You need to wipe the cache and dalvik before you flash the gapps; then reboot.
Not that I doubt the all knowing Roxxorz but is that usually suggested? Don't think I've ever wiped before flashing GApps in the same session .... ?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Did what Roxxorz said and worked perfect. Don't know if wiping between did anything since I did it at the same time as flashing with the new gapps. Thanks guys.

Problems with Inc cm7

Flashed cm7 on bosses Inc and then gapps. Got the phone booted then went to file manager to move the radio to SD root then rebooted to hboot and it doesn't see the radio image which is named correctly.
So I can't flash the new radio but the phones ril is working so...
Next, the market will not open... just hangs at the white screen the shuts down and goes to the home screen

I'm having the same problem with Market right now. Just flashed CM7 7.0 final. Tried several other ROMs too. They're all doing the same thing.
Had the wrong gapps flashed lol. Funny thing is had a customer come in with a stock ally doing the same thing and a rooted d2 doing it too lol.
Still doesn't change the cackle I can't flash anything through hboot on this phone
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA App
I've tried 3 different GAPPS packages, plus Sense ROMs are doing it for me too.
Is your sdcard formatted to fat 32? Necessary to flash via hboot.
Ill have to check that, the one thing I forgot, what is it stock?
Sent from my ThunderBolt using XDA App
Before you install your ROM make sure you wipe everything. Make sure you format /system
Doing those 2 things will fix most people's problems.
Also CM7.0 is pretty buggy, I would suggest flashing RC1 or preferably one of the latest nightlies.

FAT, so if you didn't format it, that's your problem.
Sweet thanks, ill have to reformat it via a pc correct? Ill do some searches when I'm not mobile. And yes I did a full wipe. I always wipe...

Okay, so the phone was running awesome. Then he went to hang up on a call and the phone rebooted. It went into a boot loop. So I restored stock nandroid. Then wiped and reinstalled cm7 and all was good. dropped back down to recovery and flashed gapps and the phone boot looped again... I'm baffled.
Running cm7

When upgrading from nightly to nightly, I only do a dalvik wipe which can be done via RM. But when going from different roms, you need to do a full wipe, including system, which can only be done in recovery.
I don't know much about this stuff but what I have experienced is that rom manager sometimes doesn't fully wipe cache and dalvik cache and it makes my phone loop

Q. How does calks format wipe work?

I downloaded it,do i "flash" it for it to wipe,and do i still have to wipe data or does it do that by itself?
Help much appreciated
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
It wipes data, cache, and system for you. It tells you what its formatting as its flashing.

So i just flash it then and then i can flash rom
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
You flash it, then you must flash a ROM sometime afterwards or your phone won't boot into Android. It'll still boot into recovery, so you don't necessarily have to flash the ROM in the same session, but a ROM does need to be flashed (or a nandroid restore performed) before it will boot into Android.
After running flash all, your /system /data and /cache partitions are empty.

When I went from 4.0 to 4.1 I used the NO DATA version of his format tool and everything was AOK!

Did you still have to wipe data?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I should say if you are using Calks Format All, it will format /system /data and /cache and no need to wipe data again.
If you are using some other script then point out which one and I can take a look what it is doing.

No I did not have to wipe data to change from 4.0 to 4.1
This is the Blazer thread
If coming from a previous version of Blazer:
Don't flash using Hitman
Flash the modded format zip [Download] (It won't wipe data)
Flash Blazer ROM
Reboot, and Enjoy
