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?

Savaged-zen is supposed to work nice. I'm rocking Tiamat, and its pretty nice.

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.

So, is this it?

Are the current ICS ROMS the "ICS Ports" we were all so desperately hoping for before ICS actually came out? Or are we expecting the "OFFICIAL" one from some other party?
Will CM9 be the official ICS port? Are we even getting CM9?
Side question:
If I am on ILWT and flashing to ICS, of course it is best to wipe.
But if I am on ICS and want to restore to ILWT, do I also wipe?
Thx in advance for putting up with my annoyance!

First one: Yes.
Second one: Of course!
I will wait for official CM9 with (hopefully) camera support.

We will see an official CM9 release, I'm pretty positive.

i do wipe when i flash a new rom but when i restore(via clockworkmod) i dont wipe anything and so restore always works without problems..

if you're doing a cwm restore, you dont need to wipe. restoring pretty much wipes all the information and overlays the older stuff.
on the other hand, it's always good to clear out cache though.

And regular probably, neither will ever cause problems if you do wipe but might if you don't. Only side effect ever of wiping both is longer boot right after

First of all we will get a CM9 update (WITH CAMERA SUPPORT) and two you can restore any backed uo rom through clockworkmod recovery without wiping (it basically wipes and overrites the current rom to ur backup rom)

I just have to add that building a rom from source is the same thing companies like HTC are doing. Granted they have access to all of the proprietary hardware the public doesn't. That being said none are more "official" then any other. I love CM but they are by no means an official rom and all other are ports. Its true that MANY roms are based off CM, but not all.

Saw a developer guessing the CM guys would be able to release CM9 for Desire Z (hopefully with camera working) in february. No official statements about this, though.

A little ICS flashing help

A bit confused...
I'm on CM9 alpha 1 and want to get to alpha 2
The CM9 install page says to just use CWM5 to flash the ROM and I dont have to wipe anything...
But I see several things that seem to say flashing ICS stuff through CWM can brick the phone...
Some clarification please?

number 1 do not use rom manager!
number 2 it safe to flash using clockwork mod, upgrading ics roms. but to go back to gingerbread you need to use Odin.
at least that's what I understand. if I'm wrong someone please correct me

Ok, that's sort of what I was thinking but I think I'll wait for at least another person to confirm... since you didn't sound real sure of it.. but thanks for the input

im on calks rom and to upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4 i only deleted the cache and dalkiv (sp?) cache and installed the rom and worked great.

It's not safe to do any thing with a ics kernel .even wiping data cache etc can brick a phone ..... Always use A GB kernel to flash anything until we get source and they can fix it.... U can use mobile Odin to flash the el26 cwm kernel and then flash the rom without wiping data .... Make sure to flash rom twice and then flash gapps and you are good ....

AOSP roms are quite a bit different then TW roms . Also I don't recommend wiping on ICS unless you like shiny bricks

Are you saying dont wipe anything while you have an ICS ROM installed... or just don't try to wipe when you have the ICS recovery installed?.. Like if I have an ICS ROM installed and flash back to an EL29 kernel, I can wipe then right?

yes in theory with a gb based kernel you should be able to wipe but I personally recommend odin'ing a full gb from and kernel then using recovery. I also recommend using calk's wipe zips because they seem to be much safer than CWM wiping directly.

what prep work do i need to do to install CM9

I want to flash CM9 on my Sprint Nexus and reading through the threads I cant' get the info I need.
Do i need to update any radios to do anything else before flashing this? I just rooted yesterday using the dev tool and I'm itching to flash. I came over from HTC EVO and SGS2 and the nexus is all new to me, but so far loving it. Thanks so much for the help! below is my build information:
Baseband Version:
L700.05.V.FD02/L700.FD02
Build Number:
IMM76D.L700FD02

Make sure you're running a custom recovery such as TWRP or Clockwork and you should be fine.
ROM and radios are completely separate.

You already have the most updated radios.

Thanks guys!

Dammit sorry one last question.
My My EVO had an SD Card. So if i place the ROM on my Nexus and I wipe data in recovery I'm I deleting my ROM? The norm was to Flash Cache, Davlik Cache, Data, and Factory restore on my EVO. Not sure how that works now that this phone does not have an SD card. Do we not wipe data when flashing ROMs on the nexus?

when you wipe the 'sdcard' partition remains untouched so dont worry

Thank you! Here I go!! This file im downloading from http://jenkinsmanifest.clockworkmod.com/device/toroplus shows it's only 137 mb. Are ROMS on the Nexus usually this small or is there something wrong with my Download?

That's AOSP ICS for ya. Gingerbread AOSP was even smaller.

ok, here is a simple way that i live by. this is how i do it. when using non touch wiz roms like aokp, my personal favorite or cm10.
first make sure you are on a touch recovery. then start by backing up your current rom first. next do factory reset 3 times,wipe system 3 times and the same for cache and dalvik cache. if you if you have a certain radio you want to flash do that first. then still in recovery flash rom then google apps. wipe dalvik cache and reboot. don't touch anything for 10min. now reboot and let sit for 1min and set up phone... sounds like a lot but you get a clean install... by the way, i find it better to just use the kernel that comes with the rom. you can use the same method for touch wiz minus installing google apps..

this is what i started out with. do read the entire thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926754
i know he says that for aosp rom you don't have to wait the 5-10 mins, but i do it anyway just to be sure. then i reboot and wait an additional 5-10 mins.
oh and i'm on cm10 nightly, 12/1/2012 to be exact. it's super stable and smooth, no worries. just make sure you flash the right file (our phone is hercules) and gapps (20121011).

It's no use being a **** when the answer has already been provided. Besides, before I made that thread googling his question resulted in no clear answer. It's the reason I made it. To not only help people in our forum but anyone else googling the question.

follow every thing edshawn said just to be safe. You can always flash a diff. radio at a later time. Also dont flash a nightly if you dont want to encounter any bugs. Im currently on last sidekick's liquid smooth and its the fastest cm10 rom ive used, but thats just me everybodys phone reacts differently. Also I would recommend twrp recovery over CWM, but you can do that later as well.

Thanks!

Always make sure you read the first few posts for the devs directions
