Hello everyone, I am new to XDA but I have a ongoing problem with my HTC Evo 4G, I'm rooted on my phone but every single time I try to download a ROM it never seems to get passed the start screen. I've tried to unroot but it never ever works for me it still shows the room. I've tried to remove the ROM that never works either. Any ideas? I've tried to unroot and remove the ROM but nothing seems to work. I have SOS 2.0.9 by the way. I tried to factory data reset my phone and remove everything off the SD card but it still seems to be there.
When you flash a rom, are you wiping the system? What recovery are you using? You should use twrp; as cwm sucks on the evo.

Yes...i forgot the name; I ran that when I was still on my evo. Based on amon ra with some re-work...lets you use amend scripted packages, which twrp won't let you do.

What method did you use to root your phone and what recovery are you using? If you don't wipe things like Dalvik cache and data when you flash a new ROM you're just setting yourself up for failure.
Sent using my EVO 4G and a magic wand
I'm using clockworkmod for it. I wipe it and back it up whenever I use a new ROM because I know it will end up not working so I have to reset it. I don't know what twrp is by the way. I don't remember the method because I rooted my phone in 2010 the day I got my phone. I use ROM Manager to download all my ROMs
Stay away from ROM Manager and do everything from recovery. TWRP is Team Win Recovery Project, one of the better recoveries for the EVO. Use it or Smelkus and ditch ClockworkMod, as it is known to cause issues on the OG EVO. Do a search in the Development section for either of those recoveries, install and don't look back.

I downloaded a ROM but when I tried to install it, it said Installation Aborted.
Click the link in my signature for my Evo guide and it'll walk you through everything you need to know
I can't use the PC36IMG.zip because the link doesn't work. But when I went to find it I downloaded it, it said checking and that's it. I went into recovery and I still have ClockwordMOD

got my evo about a month ago. rooted lastnight since unrevoked finally pushed out their 3.3 version which is updated for my version of hboot (2.02). the root went very smoothly. i installed the latest cyanogenmod rom, only to discover there was no market or gmail app with the rom! wish i had known that before. after doing some research online, i found out i needed to flash or install a "gapps" apk. so, looked around for that for a couple hours and couldn't find it. i downloaded what i thought would be the right .zip file to get the market on my phone (a vending.apk that was listed in another thread having to do with this same issue). so anyway... downloaded that, moved it to the root of my sd card, flashed it through clockworkmod recovery (by the way, everything up until this point was perfect) and finally rebooted my phone... only it never rebooted. the white htc EVO 4G screen was there. then, black screen, as if it was about to begin the cyanogenmod boot screen and fully boot. but, no. it went from white evo screen to black screen... to OFF. after this, i couldn't even turn it on to get it into hboot or access recovery. tried to do that for two hours. and finally i was able to get in... so i tried doing a factory/data reset through recovery, then a cache clear, then reboot. nothing. same thing. went back into recovery, tried reflashing cyanogenmod rom again. nothing. tried flashing myn's rom. nothing. all i get is installation aborted.
i am pretty sure that this is not a complete brick since i am now able to access hboot and recovery. but if i can't flash anything... and i'm stuck in hboot and recovery and cant boot my phone... what the hell do i do now? please help me figure this out!! anybody have any good advice or a known fix...??
Boot into recovery. Do a factory reset. then wipe cache and dalvik catch. Re flash cynagon and let it boot. You then need to find gapps.zip. Boot into recovery flashing gapps.zip.
i did all that. step by step. and when i reflashed the rom, that is when it wouldn't install, saying installation aborted. but, i'm gonna do it again. let's see if my phone wants to play nice now...

If that does not work! you are going to have to update with sprint lovers rom, that is in a PCM36IMG.ZIP. Install it by holding the _vol and th power button, boot into boot loader, than it will search for the zip file and ask you if you want to update, say yes ans just weigh for it to be done. Its going to take few minutes first boot! just hold on. I hope this helps in anyway.

Did you try a rooted RUU yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
Wipe everything twice first (just to be safe). Are you using Amon RA or Clockwork, by the way? The only other thing I can think of would be that your SD card isn't formatted properly, but that would have to mean you intentionally formatted it or put in a new one that didn't have the right files on it.

i am using clockwork. i've wiped so many times... but i can't make anything happen. and, i did format the sd card eventually, but not until a couple of hours ago... and only as a last resort because nothing else worked and i've been trying to fix this since last night, so i figured it couldn't hurt. but if that is part of the problem... how can i fix it? thanks for your response. i don't know what else to do other than take it in for a switch.l but if i can get into hboot... then sprint can too... and they will see that i'm rooted and void warranty. so am i completely screwed?
I had same issue.
I just reflashed the sprintlover rom (PC36IMG.ZIP) which came with Amon_RA recovery.
Then i installed the CM6 with Amon_RA recovery and everything works fine now.
Good that i did Titanium backup few days before
This is happening to me too. Almost everything he's describing is the same. Except I installed a gapps.zip and then it wouldn't boot after that. No matter what I flash, it either gives me a status 7 error and aborts the install or it may "install successfully" but it never boots. Also tried the pc36img.zip as well. I had a nandroid backup and tried to restore that, but that aborts saying cannot flash boot image. Tried a rooted and also an unrooted stock ruu, they won't work and the .exe version on a pc can't find my phone when I plug it in and power it on. Anyone have any Ideas for me. I can get more specific error messages and hboot numbers, etc. if needed.
I think you should get Amon recovery PCIMG zip file and change recovries and try everything again... IMO
Edit: I posted the Amon file and all you have to do is rename it to PCIMG.zip. Also I think the gapps you were looking for you can find on the cm site itself or within that thread. Sorry if it sounds like I a being negative but I see alot of people get on noob and I wondered why but unfortunately its because things like this happen. In the OP for CM6 it says to use Amon and backup your keys. Now if you get your phone backup you got to first check and make sure your RSA keys are in tact unless you backed them up already.
Joeykrim has a app on the market to check or there are numerous threads on what to do. Sorry and hope it works out for you if not INS is your friend

Yea but have you tried Amon and from what I read and this is from developers Amon has a much better handle on things as far as backing stuff up, partitions and protection of keys.
I ran Clockwork on my wifes phone because to me its simple and works with Rom manager but after a while I just said F it and switched since it was messing up my backups. Hey to each his own..
Ok, I don't believe that your device is bricked. You may have flash the wrong gapps or something, but is should be easy to fix.
First, download these 3 files and put them on the root of your SD card:
Cyanogen 6 stable for evo
Latest gapps for HDPI
Calkulin's format all
Red through first, then follow my instructions EXACTLY:
1.) Boot into recovery.
2.) Flash Calkulin's all format. This will wipe everything that needs wiping. (everything but the SD card)
3.) Without exiting recovery immediately flash the CM6 .zip. Do not flash the gapps yet.
4.) Reboot the device now. It will boot into cyanogen, but will not have market or anything. Once fully booted, reboot to recovery.
5.) Do not wipe or anything, just flash the gapps HDPI.
6.) Boot the phone and enjoy.
Evo won't load any roms, can only get into clockwork recovery
Okay, so if I try your steps, just like before The install gets almost to the end, then I get:
"assert failed: write_raw_image ("/tmp/boot.img","boot")
E:Error in /sdcard/update-cm-6.1.2-supersonic-signed.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
Sorry Playya, I wanted to try this one more time first. I'm going to try loading Amon Ra now. do I need to rename it to pcimg.zip or should i just flash the current file name?
In case it helps anyone, I have

it may say oops if you battery level is low... I think Amon is so much better its just that Unrevoked puts Clockwork in with their root so people get lazy and leave it in... Amon - its the way to go.
1. Charge your battery and try again
2. Backup your wimax keys - then check how big the file is and hopefully its like 12 megs... If so keys may be ok

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448
I am currently downloading the RUU and AutoRoot v2.0 as suggested by the instructions on the thread above. The part that is tripping me up is what to do about a ROM. From what I can tell the AutoRoot puts on the Sprint Lovers ROM. I have a fair amount of experience with ADW and LP so I'm not set on using the Sense UI. However if I do use Sense I think I would like to use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883026 It seems to be Sense minus the bull****. I don't know how to use AutoRoot with a different ROM. If anyone could help me there that would be amazing!
Also, if anyone recommends rooting a different way or using a different ROM please let me know or if someone can link me to go instructions about flashing ROMs etc.
Thank you and I apologize for asking something that has probably already been asked. I am just trying to get the most updated responses to ensure this goes well.

Don't put unrevoke on your sd card. You have to do it on your PC. PLEASE MAKE A NANDROID!!! I CAN STRESS THAT ENOUGH!!! As far as Rom's try Myn's, is the best Rom right now.

If you have S-OFF you are rooted, now you just need to decide if you want to use a custom ROM or keep the stock one.
i'm not sure you absolutely get rooting. once you are rooted, you can SWITCH roms easily and safely. but, in order to do this, you need to install a custom recovery and a rooted rom. in the earlier days, devs would compile rooted roms from scratch, but sprint lovers is just a rooted rom with minor improvements. just root and then change roms.
Alright I rooted it successfully, flashed a ROM successfully, and then tried it out. Now I would like to try another one. I put the new ROM on the SDCard and now I am wondering what I have to wipe in clockwork recovery. I went into recovery and I have wiped cache partition, wiped data/factory reset, and wiped dalvik cache. Now do I just go ahead and "install zip from sdcard"?
Yes, going from ROM to ROM wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik and flash as normal. Should be good.
Always make backups. I advise you to change your Recovery to Amon Ra's. This will allow you to make backups of your "RSA Keys." This is important for 4G / WiMax.
Once you've changed recoveries, should you even choose to (don't HAVE to), make a backup with that one. Backups from Clockwork will not work with Amon's recovery, from what I've heard. Maybe there is a way from last I heard, but not sure. So when that's done, you can put those clockwork backups on your computer or delete them. Only after making sure you're sitting fine.
Either way, establish backups (I have a stock rooted backup, confirmed working CURRENT ROM as well as taking one before doing something drastic. JIC ) and then start flashing. Try to enjoy yourself.
edit: toss those backups somewhere safe IE computer / ext hdd etc

Hey guy also a bit of a noob here when it comes to the Evo, I rooted my incredible and it worked fine but I am worried a bit more about this phone cause its a work phone. First I was wondering does 4g work with any of the custom roms? I see that Cryogen just came out with an asop rom that seems to work with 4g but I am wondering do the sense based roms work with 4g? Also I see something about wimax keys what are they and what happens if I lose them.

4g works with all ota-based roms (minus the serious exeptions of course). rsa keys are the acutal keys that say "this phone is authorized to use the sprint 4g network". they are matched with hardware, so if you lose them, you cant ever get them back. even sprint cant. the easiest way to prevent this is to not use clockworkmod (i think its safe now) and to back up your keys. niether of these are very hard.
Ok thanks so I just use unrevoked to root the phone and then do a first time nandroid backup and I should be good to go? Then I can do S-off if I want?
Also how hard right now is it to put the phone back to stock if something strange should happen? Want to make sure I get to use my 7 buck a month insurance if I have something go wrong with the phone.
i have an htc evo 4g phone that has the android 2.3.5 running and i have it rooted and it is running a recovery mode of Amon ra. i have been trying the past like 4 hours to put a Rom on my phone. i download the rom of my pc and than plug my phone to the pc and after the download is finished i drag the download over and it loads on the sd card. than i turn the phone off and go to recovery then i clear everything using superwipe program and than i would flash the rom. the rom would download and say it has downloaded to the sd card. Then i reboot the phone and it just comes to the HTC EVO 4G white screen and doesnt do anything after that. i waited for like 25 min. and nothing it just stays at that screen. ANY ideas on fixing this or what to do. I really appreciate it.

Rom manager is better IMO. Just use Rom manager, it never gave me any problems. Power off. Press volume down+power at same time, wait for HTC logo. It should take you to the white screen that shows you soff or son . Click recovery, wipe boot-data-cache-system. Click on advanced, clear dalvik and battery stats, reboot recovery and install your Rom. That's exactly what I do and it works everytime. I'm a noob myself don't go brick your phone.

ROM Manager is NOT better, it's way worse than doing it through recovery. Many people have problems and have even bricked devices due to Rom Manager. Just don't use it.
i just tried putting a prime xl rom for my phone and cleared eveything 3 times and stuff and it stills just goes to the white HTC EVo 4g screen. just no loading of the roms. thanks for all your answer and help guys. still am confused.
Yeah do it from recovery. Not rom manager. Never heard of that rom. Gonna try it on my phone tonight and check it out. Again did u see if the kernels u are using are compatible. That was my problem a few times when flashing sure is the link for the rom u are trying to install.

If you restore from your nandroid backup, does it boot up?
Like others have stated, your checklist prior to flashing anything should be 1. Make sure you have more than 30-40 % battery charge, Download Rom, Kernel, and if your ROM is AOSP, gapps, place on SD, reboot into recovery, I have always used AmonRa 2.3, Nandroid first...... wipe ALL (x3), flash ROM, flash gapps if AOSP, flash kernel compatible w your build (2.3.), Reboot.....be patient while first boot takes a little longer than normal. Hope this helps

Not sure of a way to tell which ROM your phone is on from recovery. Your best bet would be to install a ROM on the root of the SD card, wipe Dalvik and cache, along with a factory reset, then flash the new ROM. Or just try wiping Dalvik and cache from recovery, then rebooting your phone to see if it boots properly.

Thanks for the reply. I did try wiping the cache and factory reset but it still hangs on the boot screen. When I checked the stock roms, there were like 3 different ones . odex, deodexed , and non rooted. Would you happen to know what the safest of these is to flash without knowing what's on there? I just dont know if I flash the incorrect one if that would give me an unrecoverable error. I could just guess but figured someone out there would know pretty easily.
You can run either odexed or deodexed ROM's.

Thanks for the quick answer. Im gonna download both versions and hopefully get my phone up and running.
Thanks Fin for all your help. I was going to download the stock rom's but decided to just flash nitrous as it was one of the first I came across. But the phone is all up and running now! Thanks again Fin!

Quite welcome. Glad you got it up and running.
I didn't think about this when I originally replied, but, for future reference, some recoveries have an option to view the current ROM version. I'm running a Smelkus recovery that has an option to get the current ROM version under 'Other' from the main menu. Excellent recovery, I might add. It's based on Amon Ra.
This is the first time I have ever flashed a Rom, It loaded successfully but when it rebooted it took me back to the stock boot screen with the three skating android dudes and every time I reboot it keeps going back to that... PLEASE help. Flashed Shooter 3.0 v2
Never heard of it booting back to the bootloader before. What HBOOT version are you currently on? What recovery are you using? Sounds like a bad download, or you didn't wipe everything like you were supposed to prior to flashing the new ROM.

HBOOT is 2.18 and recovery is amon ra 2.3 I believe. I did wipe and tried again and again but wouldnt work so tried a different rom and now is working. Maybe just file? Would really like that shooter rom but... You suggest another rom?
Per forum rules, I'm not going to suggest any particular ROM. Just start flashing and figure out which one works best for you
