Guide for clean install? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone give me the link to do a clean install? I know I have to put whats on my sd card to my computer, then do I wipe everything through recovery? Then do I just put the rom I have on my desktop in my sd card? Flash & reboot? Oh and does this process remove my recovery? Just want to make sure. And before you ask, I am doing this because I just have way to much stuff on this phone, & its time to wash my evo!
Please let me know soon! Thanks guys!

Are you asking how to flash a custom rom?
sent from my DeRpY SuPeRsOnIc

To flash a custom rom u don't need to wipe ur SD card put the rom on the root of your SD card(in no folders) go into recovery do a nandroid backup ,go into wipe and wipe data(factory data reset which doesn't wipe root nor your SD card)
Then wipe divlka or something like that. Its a cache and wipe cache. They are different stuff then go into flash zip menu and click pick file to flash or something like that (depends on your recovery) then wait til its done then reboot.

I know you said you did some searching and found what you were looking for, but I just had to post this link too. It is so so thorough, and it is a good read even if you have a flashing routine you already use.

So i tried this... rly cool thing. I backed up my ROM, then wiped and restored again. I didnt mean to do do it i was just testing another ROM nvm, but when I got back to CM after some wipes the rom is a lot smoother now. Now im not sure if anything is different since I restored the ROM after some superwipes, but its smoother for sure.
Sent from my Wildfire S using XDA
It erases data that recovery just says is writeable. That's all it does. Compared to just allowing it to be over written it allows 0s to be written in place

So is this run in recovery?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S using XDA
does it wipe SD card also (FAT partition)?
EDIT: just tried it, it does not affect non-system related SD card contents
Yes its a flashable zip
from my HTC_A510c using Tapatalk
This is something like factory reset or it remove whole ROM from phone and I will have to flash ROM again ?
It will remove the whole ROM and everything on it so yes you would have to re flash your ROM

After you flash that you have to re root your device use regular cwm not touch and then flash whatever rom you want

SORRY man cant do that. I worked really hard to earn this cell phone and wont let it go for free. I bought it for a full price off the contract and don't think will be donating it. I am pretty sure people will be able to help me here. Its not like the phone is dead. Its working except for a few disruptions. Besides people are offering me $450 even in such a condition.

If you did it right then you should be up and running with no problems. If you are having issues you need to be more specific so people can help. Also, if you flashed format_all, then flashed the ROM, you need to go to the ROM Updater and pick up part 2 of the ROM (it finishes theming Gtalk), download and flash it.
Going to be away for the evening but if you'll give some further details there are others running this ROM who can assist.
Good luck

As Esoteric68 said, lacking a few details.
What problems are you seeing, or are you seeing problems?
Being that you posted from your phone, are you still running it or did you have to do more? as well...
:edit: Also, you have multiple posts on the same subject and it makes it that much harder for people to help you. Try to keep everything in one place and there are tons of much more smarter people then me to help ya out. (Like that grammar issue thing I got going on)

So I just flashed beanstalk

So I just flashed to beanstalk and so far the only error I've encountered is that the chameleon launcher doesn't work. Is this fixable? Is it worth it? I've been using the nova launcher and so far its the one I'm liking the most. Any other opinions? And what settings does everyone use? Or better yet, what are the optimum settings?

I had no idea you didn't have functionality with that launcher. What exactly does it do? FC? Or nothing at all? I'll see what I can find out. PM me with details....
noob no shame!!!!
So this would be my first time flashing a new rom, saw the beanstalk and made me want to try something new. Followed instructions to the tee as per requested from BMP7777. Put rom and gapps on the internal storage. Using twrp wiped data, cache, and dalvik, on to flash the rom. Everything went smooth which is what twrp said; SUCCESFUL! Rebooted the phone and got a kernel crash. Now the phone is in Demigod crash handler. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Did I do something wrong? and yes I rooted and unlocked boot loader all before this* Would greatly appreciate it! THANKS**

You might need to wipe caches and data/ factory reset.
Or wipe caches, factory reset.
Or wipe all 4 items in Advanced part of TWRP. And reinstall your ROM. Sounds like you had a bad flash to start with.
