Hello. I just switched my recovery to TWRP and i wiped my cache/ dalvik/ factory reset my phone, in preparation to flash some ROMs. So i tried flashing several ROMs and they either ended up failing or it claims to be successful and when i try to boot up it bootloops the htc splash screen. So i'm stuck on recovery since I can't even boot into a ROM. I need help!! I have S-On and i'm unlocked.
It seems like TWRP has always been wonky on the Evo. It was even bricking them on version 2.1 I think. My advice would betoswitch to the smelkus mod version of Amon RA. It has never done me wrong.

I never had an issue when I used to run TWRP 1.0. Having said that, I've been running Smelkus recently and haven't looked back. You might try switching recoveries and running the superwipe function and wiping the Dalvik cache in Smelkus before and after you flash a ROM and see if that clears things up. You can do a search on XDA for Smelkus recovery to find the OP and download link.
Just curious, though. What ROM are you trying to flash?

I've tried several ROMs like Nitrous, Blackbean, Team Dirt's ICS 4.0.4 ROM and the RemICS ROM, DigitalKarma, MokeeOS, and Holo. I just finished switching recoveries so everything should work.
I have to ask. Is your SD card partitioned properly?

I'm not sure. I just bought my sdcard 3 months ago. Is there a way to check? But anyway, this thread is done.

If your not sure. Then it ain't. Go here to see how to Partition your SD Card. Most Roms have A2SD baked in and not having your card partition will cause issues.

i have intsalled this rom throught rom manager and have also wiped. i have done this three times. i keep getting a lot of foreclosures when i go into settings. any ideas on how to fix this?
try installing it the normal way: via recovery.
Pay the bank!
Clockwork recovery has been reported to not fully wipe partitions correctly. Try changing to Amon-Ra recovery.

I haven't had any problems at all. In fact, for n00berts, I prefer using Clockword. Since a lot of ROMs aren't signed and would not work on the RA.

^This. Probably the best way to do it. Although using ROM Manager worked fine for me every time (except for when trying to install Calkulin's ROM).
If you need help on how to do it manually PM me.
I have been reading people saying that clockwork recovery doesn't wipe cache right and some other stuff. I am also starting to see ROM developers even mention this in their posted ROM's.
I have always used clockwork recovery with no problems. Has anyone even bothered to talk to koush about this problem the recovery has or just dissin his mod?
He seems to update it often and I find it hard to believe he hasn't or wouldn't address this.
Anyone?
I am right there with ya? I have used it and not had issues... Maybe its because I don't get crazy on flipping roms that often?
Version 2.5 fixed all past issues with clockwork mod.
Well I was using clockwork mod....latest version of course....and it didn't seem to wipe davlink cache...so last night I did the research and figured out a quick way to flash between RA and clockworkmod recoveries. It's actually really easy to flip between the two through adb. I do flip between roms from time to time and its nice to use the recovery the developer reccomends.

Help....my clockwork will not let me install the latest recovery ??? What can I do
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
What do you mean latest recovery? Clockwork is a recovery.

I switched to RA after Clockwork recovery tried to strangle me in my sleep. I reported the bug so hopefully it will be fixed in the next version.
I've hopped between Amon and Clockwork, and I like them both. Amon is a cleaner interface (in my opinion) but Clockwork allows you to flash unsigned .zip's, and makes sure that you want to do an action before you do it (i.e. no, no, no, yes, no interface, lololol).
Both are amazing pieces of software.

I use Clockwork because that's what Rom Manager uses. Haven't had a single problem with it as of yet. Very nice to be able to update CM6 nightlies without touching a computer.
Seems like Amon has more features / cleaner interface though.

ROM Manager also allows easy switching as AmonRA's recovery is there as the "Alternate Recovery" on the bottom of the app. It will gladly flash back and forth (I use RA when I am going to update something through any of the CMUpdater-based update apps (DC and Fresh both use these)).
It's important to remember too, that each of the recovery images handle nandroids differently so if you nandroid in one, you have to use that same one to restore.

not really. if you copy the nandroid file from one folder to the other folder, either one will load it.
From my experience, CWM doesn't flash ROMs as well as AR (Failed flashing the CM6 nightly twice, AR got it the first time) and also doesn't have a Wipe Dalvik option, or an as-easy way to mount the SD card.

I never had a failure of flashing a rom, on any recovery, period. That is strange, sounds more like a problem with the rom.
CWM definitely has wipe dalvik option, it's under advanced. I just used it
Again clockwork has never failed me ever! It seems to clear cache fine to me as I have never had a boot loop I couldn't get out of.
So far there apears to be ZERO evidence of an issue with clockwork recovery so I guess I need to start asking developers why they are dissing clockwork recovery or just PM Koush directly.
If there is an issue I just want it to be addressed because I love the recovery and ROM Manager.
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

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
I keep re-downloading the rom but every time at the end during the boot image flash I get an error. Installation aborts and I get nothing if I try to boot. Can anyone help with this?
Make sure you clear out everything good. I had an issue in the beginning and had to wipe the cache real good. No issues since
I have tried. I have done numerous cache wipes prior to install. I don't know what the deal is. Thanks for the advice though!
I guess this is probably a stupid question but, would not having an ext partition on my sd card stop the rom from flashing?

no having sd ext is fine. no problems as far as i know. but are you using Clockwork mod recovery? because the rom wont flash with clockwork you need amon-ra 2.3 there is something in the godmode scripts that is in an unsupported format for clockwork.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026
here is a link to the amon-ra recovery. if you have questions about how to install it feel free to pm me. btw you don't flash recovery's in a recovery so don't try to flash it in one
I'm gonna try that. I realised that I couldn't flash Mik's rom either. I think I may have an old recovery. Thank You! I was using Amon-RA. I think it was an old version though

yeah you might have been on 1.8 instead of 2.3 and if it still doesn't flash then its probably never going to. godmode seems to be tempermental with what phones it wants to work on and theres multiple people who no matter what they tried cant get it to flash. so cross your fingers and hope for the best
I had the same problem. Couldn't flash with cwm. So I flashed amon ra 2.3 and then flashed synergy rc2 god mode it took about 20 minutes but worked.

Thanks for the help. It turns out that I was running 1.8. I am on 2.3 now and all is good.

I have been using an old rom for months now with no problems. I decided that I would unroot my phone and get all new updates from Sprint and re-root. I used Revolutionary to root had some problems finally got full root. Here are where my problems start. First I tried MikG v3.00 for some reason it got caught in boot loop cleared cach still boot loop. Then I tried Sprint Lovers everything seem to be fine wiped and clear cach flashed rom. Loaded like normal and splash screen goes into home screen show signal stregth and battery strength but at that point that is it. Cannot access phone. I was smart enough to backup before I started this process so I can go back to what worked but I want a change. Can anybody help me!!
Go read my guide, bro. It's for people right after they get rooted. Click the link in my signature
Shot in the dark, but what recovery are you useing
Sent from my PC36100 using Xparent Green Tapatalk
First, you should NOT have unrooted. There is nothing from Sprint that is not in a custom ROM.
Next, when you flash a new ROM, you MUST wipe evrything on the wipe screen except SDCard. Then run VR Superwipe zip. Then flash the ROM.

You didn't WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET. That's your problem right there.
Choose wipe data/factory reset like I said three times and it will boot right up.

You have to install the amon ra style recovery [in the dev section]. I haven't used it yet, but you may have to be on the latest CWM recovery, because I don't know if the style recovery uses the older version of CWM recovery, since they changed.
