If yes then go to recovery
1) clear data
2)clear cache partition
3)go to advanced and clear dalvik cache
4)go back install zip from sd card
6)choose zip from sd card and find the zip file you want to install and install it .

ok firstly follow this guide to unlock your bootloader.
then install this recovery here by downloading the updated version. placing it onto the "root" of your sdcard. ( that is to not put it in any folder of any kind on the sdcard) and boot into the bootloader by using volume down + power after pulling the battery out.
if this fails you will have to fastboot flash the img, but more on that if you need to
once you have installed the recovery take out the sdcard and boot back into your bootloader (vol- + power) and then scroll down to recovery with the volume buttons and the push power. reinsert your sdcard.
scroll down to back up and make a back up of your phone!!! this is vital, as should you muck up you can simply go back to this
then select your rom of choice and place it on the root of your sdcard. while your accessing your sdcard delete the PG76img.zip unmount your sdcard and continue.
in recovery scroll down to wipe/format. wipe everything aside from your sdcard. then install your rom, and Gapps if it is an aosp type rom.
reboot the device and wait.
if it doesnt boot up in ten minutes reboot to your bootloader and enter recovery. restore your backup and then come back here for help with a list of everything youve done
job done

I rooted my EVO running stock Froyo last night with Unrevoked 3.2. It worked flawlessly and phone is experiencing no problems. Now i'm all excited to run the custom ROMS but kind of confused as how the flashing of the custom ROMS works. Do I have to wipe out the entire contents of my SD card everytime I want to run a custom ROM? I only have the 8gig card. I was under the assumption that I could save my current stock setup and download and flash into a custom ROM and revert back to the stock rooted setup when I wanted. I downloaded a program called ROM Manager v2.0.2.6 but unsure how to use it. Looks like a 1-click solution to loading custom ROMs but I dont want it to wipe out my phone. Can someone please help me to understand the steps to take to load a custom ROM? I was thinking of trying out Fresh or something similar which still has HTC Sense in it. Feel free to message me on here. Thanks in advance.....

No.
I'm not sure about using ROM manager, perhaps somebody else can help with that.
The process is simple...
Connect your EVO to your PC and enable disk drive.
Transfer the ROM zip to the root of your sd card (if your computer mounts as drive F: ... just transfer to F:\)
Eject/disable disk drive
Boot into recovery (turn device off, hold volume down and power button at same time until you see your hboot screen, choose recovery)
Perform a nandroid backup (just in case you need to get back to where you are)
Perform wipe
Use recovery option to flash zip from sdcard
Select the ROM zip
Those are the quick and dirty instructions, I'm a newb with this stuff, I've had my EVO for 2 weeks and I've not had a single problem. I had CM6 on it and I just flashed Fresh 3.2 to test that out and test 4G this weekend.
I would advise doing a Nandroid backup of your current setup. Then go the development section and choose a rom that suits you. Each developer normally will tell you how to go about flashing there rom.
Basically you would need to go into recovery and choose the flash from zip...
ok first no you dont have to erase your sd card every time you flash a rom.
you should however do a factory dalvik and cache wipe. this will erase all settings yuo previously had and will uninstall all apps.
to combat this you can use programs like Titanium back up to back up all your apps. (system settings are not recommended to be blind restored as they can cause issues between roms)
You can also make a back up of your stock rom you have now to do this through rom manager simply make sure you have the latest clockwork recovery flashed (very top button in rom manager) then go down to where it says back up rom click it and it will do the rest. This is recommended before you do anything.
once you ahve your nand back up (the back up through rom manager) and have your apps backed up through something like titanium back up. place the rom yuo want to flash on your sd card and follow these steps.
boot into recovery (either through rom manager or by powering down the phone and then holding vol down and power until it launches the boot loader and select recovery)
select wipe data/factory reset
select wipe cache partition
Select install zip from sd
select choose zip rom sd
scroll to and select the rom you moved to the sd card
select yes and let it do its thing once done select reboot phone.
It will take a little extra time the first time it boots up vs normal jsut let it sit and it should after a while boot into the custom rom.

Thanks everyone! I'm running titanium backup at the moment and backing up the entire system. I had ROM Manager do a backup of my stock ROM last night, so I think i'm good. ROM Manager also downloads ROMs for me and sets them to load at boot up. Most of the ROMS suggest doing a full wipe?
a full wipe jsut means factory/data cache and dalvik which is basically wiping all info on the phone itself. the sd card however doesnt need to be wiped
i installed baked1.7 and all loaded smoothly. I'm assuming I now have to re-download titanium backup to restore my apps and all?
Also, i'm finding no info on how to load the wimax update and the htc radio update files and the custom kernels for baked1.7

Load those updates onto the root of your sd card. Get quickboot from the market to easily boot into recovery mode. Or you can power off, then hold vol down while powering on to get into bootloader and select recovery. Flash zip file and select those files. Reboot and your wimax/radio should be updated.
Kinda noob question but can someone post screens on how to backup and restore a nadroid backup??
Thanks
Title meant to say: Backup not back
If you're not rooted then you can't do a Nandroid. When you use a custom recovery image like Clockwork Mod you have the option to do a backup (refered to as a 'Nandroid').
yea i know i am planning on rooting tonight just want to know how just incase anything goes wrong
Ah right!!
Once you've run unrEVOked it will install Clockwork Mod as your recovery image. In there is the backup and restore menu which is where you perform a 'nandroid'. It basically copies your system onto your SD card so you can revert back to it should a new ROM flash go wrong/not be to your liking...it's easy really!
Getting to Clockwork Mod is the same as getting into normal recovery - turn the phone on whilst holding down the volume down button, select 'Recovery' from the menu and there you go!
Or after getting clockwork mod on your phone you cab download an app called Rom manager this has a menu with options one is back up or restore your Rom.

Thanks, got another question, i would like to flash opendesire how would i now go about doing this ?? i am rooted now
Boot into Clockwork Mod, select 'install update from SD card' and choose to select from the SD card and select the OpenDesire ZIP file. You'll also have flash a radio that's compatible with the ROM (which is done the same way)
do i need to wipe data/factory reset??
Thanks
I'd say yes as you're going from a Sense ROM to non-Sense - better to be safe than sorry
and do i now click apply sdcard:update.zip or install zip from sdcard
Thanks!
Install zip from sdcard.
Highlight and select the zip containing whatever you want to flash (the ROM or the Radio)
I did do this a while back...

WoW!! All done now on OpenDesire Thanks guys When i partition my SD card to ext or whatever, does the cache and stuff go to my SD card automatically?
Thanks
Hi, I'm on Leedroid 4.00 and would like to upgrade to the new 6 range, and but don't wanna lose all my apps, that I have downloaded (too lazy to redownload them) as I am coming from an earlier version can I flash without wiping or is that suicide? Cheers

I have been flashing without a full wipe and there hasn't been any issues with doing that, all my apps have been exact same just the rom has been changed. if you want you can backup apps using file expert app on to you SD and then just install them without re-downloading them
So copy room to sd card, run the boot img then recovery and install rom?

1) backup all the apps if you don't want to re-download them later.
2) put the rom of your choice on the SD storage
3) Once you do that then put the phone on fastboot usb by holding the the power and volume button down i assume you know that right
4) then run the boot.img
5) Once that is done then unplug the usb go to recovery mode and install from zip.
this is where you decide if you want a full wipe or without wipe but before any install from zip do a complete rom backup using the backup/restore option in the recovery mode menu

Waitwaitwaitwait, why so complicated?
Just use TitaniumBackup, it's free in the market, it backups all your apps + their data! ;-) You can also createa an CWM-flashable ZIP which installs TitaniumBackup as a System app, so you just have to run it when on Leedroid 6.xx, and it will do everything for you.

Whenever I try to wipe dalvik cache it freezes for two seconds then shows "no no no no yes no"-screen for a blink of an eye and goes back to "start"-screen in recoverymode. Should I skip this stage or reboot phone and try again?
Skip it since u wipe cache so it will also do wipe davlik cache

Well I want to install apps on my sd-card rather then my phones memory. Right now I have used 57 mb of a total 121.
Not all apps can be in sdcard. U can increase ur internal memory by partitioning sdcard and installing a script:
IMPORTANT: BACKUP UR SDCARD BECAUSE partitioning using CWM will delete data from ur sdcard
1.Power off ur phone
2.boot into recovery
3. Go to advanced then partition sdcard
4.give 512 MB for partition
5. 0M for swap
6.reboot
7.Go to play store and install link2sd
8.when u open it it will say select partiton format so choose ext2.
9.Select ur user apps by clicking on them then click on create link then link library files blah blah...

1) Download this file
2) Rename the file to "OPJAIMG.zip"
3) Put the file on an external SD Card (put the file to the root of the filesystem)
4) Put the external SD Card into your phone
5) Reboot your phone into Download Mode (Vol Down + Power)
6) You will be asked to flash the file, do so by pushing Vol Up
7) Wait for the installation to finish
The phone will power off after the flash was successful, the first boot can take some seconds.
Keep in mind that this method will WIPE ALL DATA ON THE INTERNAL STORAGE ON THE PHONE, EVERYTHING
