Please list the steps you are taking when flashing, including what recovery you are using

I'm running mikg ROM atm and i wipe data 3 times cache 3 times and devlik 1 time and i am using clock work

I recommend you stop using CWM and switch over to using AmonRA, it is well known that CWM doesn't fully wipe and causes many problems
I recommend using this recovery: Amon Ra Style Recovery for Supersonic
I also recommend using a wipe script such as VR_SuperWipe or SNS Super Wipe.
Then try flashing the rom you want. Make sure that you wait through the complete boot time on the first boot with the new rom. It can take 5 min or longer sometimes.
Nope didn't work

My evo is running the latest amon ra recovery and I've never had problems prior,and im running fresh rom, I tried to wipe everything even 3 times in the same session. I then flashed the gb beta 4 rom and I still get the fresh boot animation and once gb starts up, I get a bunch of htc processes fc's. Anyone help me find out what's wrong?

If you know it's a problem with not wiping properly, might I suggest Calkulin's format all zip?
I am using the newest amon recovery. Everytime i try to restore a nandroid i save it gives me bootloops. I normally wipe everything twice and flash caulks format all zip. Is there something im doing wrong?

Is your usb plugged in while either backing up or restoring? Have you tried loading a different version of amon?
U need to flash a kernel, nandroid dont save that

so your are saying flash the kernal first then restore nandroid restore?
Okay I just tried what you said and I still got bootloops. And my USB is never plugged in when i do a nandroid.
Something in the backup is giving you bootloops. Try completely wiping, the flashing a new rom.
You can review the recovery log too.

Yes it does. Likely the issue is that a wipe is not being performed before restoring the data in the nandroid.

Garbage in, garbage out.
If your device was unstable when you backed it up, it will continue to be so after you restore.
Try a different Sd card. If your device continues to be unholy, revert back to a stock based rom or even RUU. If your issues persist, you likely have a hardware fault.
Basic troubleshooting 101...
Nandroids dont replace the kernel, do the nand then flash the kernel

Man I'm having bootloops all the time now ever since i updated the new combo radios and flashed myn RLS5. On sense with rls5 my phone reboots a lot kinda and with AOSP roms like MIUI my phone reboots like every 24 hours and goes on a bootloop. I can't figure out what's going on. Tried messaging some devs but they don't answer me
Did u run Calkulins Format All.zip?

When you switched roms, did you do a format data/calkulin's format all? doing either or should fix your bootlooping problem.
I always use caulkins format all. Still get bootloops. Wipe everything, still get bootloops. I dont know what to somwtumes except star all over from scratch.

Same here bro. I've tried 3 different roms this weekend thinking it was just miui causing the problem but I actually got bootloops on all of them . This is weird
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
"Wipe everything", is that a factory restore/reset?
Cause that's what I do (factory reset).
Then the nand restore............

Are you flashing kernels over that?
Hello, just checking to see if anyone can help, everytime I try to install a new rom it says that it installes but then when I reboot it boot loops after the htc evo 4g screen. I have used clockwork recovery and also used ra-supersonic-v2.3. The only thing I can install is my nandroid that I have from a previous rom. The new update wont boot either. If any one can help please let me know.
Try wiping everything and then flash the rom. And dont flash two zips at yhe same time.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
ok tried it, still no luck, never gets past htc eco 4g boot screen
try it with both recoveries and if it still doesnt work try older recovieries by going into rom manager going into the very botom and click all clockwordmod recovieries and flash a different one.
I have also used a format all.zip, nothing. everytime i wipe everything multipule times it does the same. Only the nandroid works no other roms will. Please help
got it to install cm7 with no prob, I wanted to load a sense rom though
Anyone got any ideas, I have read all the other threads about this issue and have tried all the suggestions but nothing works

did you flash an older recoviery
Yes i did try diffrent recovery's no luck
well clockwork is your problem. lol. install amon ra v2.3 recovery. once on there wipe everything in the wipe menu except the rotate settings and the sd-card. flash your rom of choice and you should be set.

That should work seen clockworkmod get messed up couple time. Even know thats what I use
Figured it out, had to unroot my phone and reroot it then it worked
Here is my question, I like switching between two ROMs. I'm currently running Wildstangs stock ROM with the current Tiny's kernel. I installed CM7.1.0 also with the incredikernel ics+. All was fine with it then i switched back to my stock ROM for a few days but when i tried to switch back to CM7 it gets stuck at my custom boot image. I left it there for 30 minutes just to see if it would boot but nothing.
Now here is the question. Is there a particular way you have to switch between ROMs? As in the wiping process etc.
Thanks for your time.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
If you switch between two ROMs using a nandroid you shouldn't have to do anything special. If it fails it could be a bad backup. Try doing a full wipe before restoring just in case (format /system, data/factory reset).
Thanks for the info. I just don't like being stuck using one ROM. LOL
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
Me neither. I would occasionally try the latest Sense 3 ROMs after being on CM7 for a while but ended back on CM7. But I'd hate to be stuck on one ROM. Even though I settled on CM9 pretty much on my Galaxy Nexus, I still want the option in case I want to switch as AOKP is my second choice.
I completely agree!
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
Anytime I download a new ROM I always check my md5 sums for a mismatch. I use md5 checker on my phone, cause you can corrupt the file transferring it to your phone if you used a computer to download it.
When doing a lot of switching, I definitely recommend to use VR_SUPERWIPE-edify. You just run it like you would a ROM in your recovery menu and it wipes everything for you. Makes switching go a lot quicker.

Ok here is my problem...
I've been trying to flash ICS roms in my phone since it came out!
I've tried flashing 4 different roms Darkside, Infamous, the one leaked from at&t and one that was supposed to be stock!
I've been getting the same boot loop with all of them!
Here is what i've already tried...
flashing (all 4) with data/cache and davik wipe... boot loop
Use odin to get back to stock, "re rooted", tried flashing... boot loop
Try downloading the roms again, boot loop...
Is there anything i'm missing here?
I'm no developer but i usually can follow instructions pretty good for all this to happen...
I've been searching XDA for months and couldn't find a fix...
Please some one share a brilliant idea with me!
I darkside super before then darkside cache after and so far it's worked like a charm
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
What recovery are you using? If you're using cwm the wipes don't want to work right. Download darkside superwipe, and darkside cachewipe out of one of tdj's threads. Check md5's after downloading a Rom.
Create nandroid backup
Flash superwipe
Flash radio (if changing)
Flash Rom
Reboot let it sit ten minutes
Reboot again
Any bugs try flashing the cachewipe (I usually do it once I've set the Rom up)

Awesome!! Thank you!!
After running the super wipe the Rom worked perfectly... running ICS for 2 days, no problems at all!!
Thanks for your help!
