MIUI on my evo

Hey guys im having a problem getting MIUI to boot on my phone I did the format all and flashed it and it just bootloops what should I do

You need to properly wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. Just flashing the format all is not enough to wipe everything.

ClockworkMod Recovery?
Are you not able to hboot?
If you can, I'd factory reset and wipe dalvik as well.
You might take a look at SalvageMod 1.0 as well. Fewer issues than the stock out of the box ROM.

Find the clear-temp-files.zip and flash that after flashing the format-all.zip. Then flash the rom. This is especially important if you're coming from a sense rom. Also do not restore system data or system apps, if you use TB. Just restore user apps and data.

Clockwork doen't wipe .. unless they fixed it .. IDK I don't use it because it wouldn't wipe all the data, then I would get stuck in a boot loop. Flash Amon Recovery, wipe all except system, then flash .. ENJOY!!

i have tried everything you guys have said and it still isnt working is there only one file i have to flash?

What recovery are you using?

ok ill have to check it out and im using RA 2.3

Yea, for AOSP, I strongly recommend Tiamat. Been using it a couple days and great performance and battery life. SBC and No-SBC versions availible.

should i use a GB version of it or the froyo

I would say go gingerbread version.

I am using Amon and this is method that worked for me:
1. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
2. Wipe Dalvik-Cache
3. Flash Miui
4. Reboot
Maybe try it one more time. Maybe bad download of Miui - are you trying the most recent Miui?

well i flashed an older version and it worked but when i tried to flash the update it stoped working

So you would run a gingerbread kernel for a froyo based rom?
FAIL!

Flashing it in the same method?

Knowingly, I wouldn't. As I stated before, I've never used MIUI. Seeing as its Froio based, you need to run the Froyo based. Though Gingerbread kernels CAN run on Froyo based roms.

Use Amon_RA, wipe chache, flash phone with MIUI again, wipe chache one more time. That is what I did last night because I was getting stuck at boot animation screen. I did not flash kernel because I had ziggy already.

Have u factory reset cleared cache and also cleared dalvik?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Alright..
Firstly, reboot into recovery and wipe full data & the dalvik cache.
Second, flash a rom to which your device fulfills all requirements (eg. not D2EXT, D++)
Third, restart your device after installing the ROM.
Fourth, WAIT!!!!! if it doesnt boot after like 15 minutes then something has gone wrong somewhere.
Just to make things easy to start with, you should try using a rom that doesn't require an ext2/3/4 partition and just uses fat. Unless you are confident you can do that correctly.

thanks all ,after wipe partition and wipe data factory , worked with me.
this wipe partion deleted my ext partition also?

Seriously, you should do a little reading tutirials and guides on flashing.
You cannot flash a ROM with a different base on top of another - that's why the bootloops. (E.g. Flashing DHDport on top of Stock Rooted or GB on FROYO won't work without wiping).
Secondly, it is wiped it - ergo FORMATTED it, the ext partition is still there.

I understand that i have to see which radio can work with?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Listen, everybody's here to help each other. It's what we android users do.
A little of "Please", and "thank you very much", "you guys are great"... goes a long way...
As for the radio, the easiest would have been, to upgrade your stock system to Froyo 2.29 before running the ROM.
Stock, before a custom ROM. This would probably avoid any radio problems.
If your phone is working and you have no issues, then you shouldn't worry about it.
Some people, get a little angry, when the same problem happens over and over again, and there are posts to cover these problems.
But, I think most of us, will jump right in, and give a hand to those who ask politely. And give a big thanks, when the issue is fixed.
Oh, and all ROMs are not created to work with Desire...

[Q]I was just thinking

Useing CWM wiping everything clean to install a rom. At this point back up useing CWM. Now if I just restored that backup before every rom would that be like wiping everything for it?

rom install
If you don't perform the wipe before installing a different rom, all you are doing is installing over top of, and you can run into problems that way. The exception would be that some of the developers start the installation by formatting.

I get what your saying and its an interesting question..
RESTATED: WIPE EVERYTHING AND BACKUP THE WIPAGE....lol
So that if) t were restored, it would restore a blank...tricky to explain
Ok so imo, i dont think it works...i have zero base for my opinion. But even if it does work why? Wiping is faster than restoring anyway. Flashing TDJ's superwipe is even better and still faster than restoring.
Interesting question nonetheless

You want to backup before you wipe because if you backup afterwards you would be backing up either a blank ROM or by a small chance a wiped version of your current one.

Noobish question

This is a very noobish question that I couldn't even find a post about it on the forums. Here's the situation: I'm running ics by Lord Clockan on my phone. I'm going to make a backup of it and then flash jellytime by randomblame today. I know I need to do a full wipe before I flash jellytime. If I want to switch back to ics tomorrow, do I need to do a full wipe again before flashing my backup? I don't flash roms very often, and never backups, so, someone please guide me!

When you restore a nandroid backup from recovery you don't need to perform a wipe, only when flashing a new rom

Thank you (I'm out of 'thank you's for the day). So after I flash jellytime, I can constantly switch between ics and jt without wiping anything, since they're both nandroids?

I wouldn't do that if I were you, it's always best to full wipe when changing stuff...

I have to agree, keep a current nandroid of your daily rom and if you want to play with JB do a Full wipe install as it is progressing quite quick.

Well if you wiped after restore, you wouldn't have anything on your phone, wouldn't you? The best rule of thumb to go by is this: Whenever you're flashing a kernel/gapps/whatever that doesn't change your ROM, wipe cache and Dalvik. If you are flashing a new ROM or restoring a nandroid, do a full wipe (system, data, cache, Dalvik).

Good information from all of you since I also thought about these questions.
Will a backup from clockworkmod also backup apps and settings aswell or is titanbackup needed here?
Desire HD via Tapatalk 2

It backups everything, so no need for Titanium when you are restoring a nandroid, you only need it when you are switching between ROMs.

>Backup alll Apps (i am using Titanium Backup)

>FLash ROM ( what ever you wanted )
if you wanted to flash back to another rom then do back again from step 1 .

Best way to update nightlies? Noob question

First off I searched but didnt find it.
Is there a quick and easy way to update nightlies to the newest release.
I am currently using ericwill ROM - CyanogenMod 10 - JB 4.1.1 - UNOFFICIAL.
I have 2012-09-15 and would like to upgrade to 2012-09-18.
Do I need to do a full wipe and flash and then reinstall my apps with titanium backup or is there a simple way given that they are very similar?
also can I restore all the system data as well or is that too risky given that system may have changed a bit?
Thanks in advance.

thanks guys flashed last night worked out well
I did a darkside superwipe
flashed new rom
rebooted and let sit a while 10 mins
flashed gapps
rebooted and let sit 10 mins
rebooted again and did full sytem and apps restore with titanium backup.
one question should I do the darkside cache wipe as well and if so when should that be done?
I think as if it should be done after flashing the rom. if so after the gapps too?

When flashing a nightly you dont have to wipe! You can just add on top of each other!!! But make sure to WIPE DATA if flashing a new ROM.

To build on the first reply, I backup current nightly with trwp. Wipe all, install new nightly, Flash gapps, restore data from last backup. Wipe cache just in case and reboot. Now if on aokp, use aokp backup to restore settings. No tibu needed, all user apps restored with data

the aokp backup market app? All the reviews below it say it doesn't work with nightlies or other versions.. they say that the app itself has to be updated for every nightly. At least what i got from it.
