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?

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.

[Q] Andromadus Mimicry 1.5

In the instructions is says to flash gapps before you install the rom. Am i flashing the in recovery or adb? I guess im not understanding the instructions.

Flash the Rom from recovery then gapps,Reboot and enjoy
Tapatyping

does mimicry have swipe?

Not fitted as standard but search for TouchPal beta and give that a spin, i use swiftkey but got my hands on this and am liking it,if you have the Swype apk then just install it,mimicry is an awesome Rom,have fun
Tapatyping

I flash the rom in recovery then flash Gapps in recovery as well.. what about google market? im using cyanogen 7.2 atm and i flashed the google apps.zip but none of my google apps work

You need to flash gapps for ics. Not gapps for GB. It should be listed on the OP.

Ok, just so I'm understanding this correctly, when flashing gapps, Its flashed just like you flash the rom, but you do so first then you flash the rom. I just go into rooting phones and so I'm new to all this.

1. Wipe the phone (especially if coming from GB). Wipe data/factory reset in Recovery.
2. Flash the ROM
3. Also in Recovery, Flash the Gapps for ICS just like the rom (they are in the Mimicry thread).
If you want Swype, go to beta.swype.com and sign up for the beta. They will email you a link to download and install Swype.

Very helpful thank you.

slide keyboarb problem
guys i cant change the language in the slide keyboard..;i tried all key combinations but none of them worked...Any help??

Can you flash a higher base rom if you have an older base?

I'm just wondering if you have an older base like 4.0.4 and you want to flash an 4.1.1 rom is that possible or should i upgrade to 4.1.1 then flash?

It's totally possible.
However, this is a good time for a clean install. ie data wipe.
I hardly ever recommend one. But, this is one of the times.
I didn't, however. Last time was ice cream to jelly bean

Thank you
also do you know if flashing back to stock and then upgrading thourgh the kies to 4.1.1 and then flashing a custom rom be safer?

Fewer steps = better.

You sound like my brother in law. He does that every time he flashes a new ROM, makes no sense to me. When I flash a new ROM, I wipe data/cache and /system, then flash the ROM and restore my Titanium Backup.

Same here... I never did an official update from ICS to Jellybean and so far so good. I know that it's best to install the latest drivers/partitions, but I was too lazy. Lol

[Q] Downgrade from Jellybean to ICS

Hi guys, so I flashed the PAC rom but don't really like the feel behind it and miss my old ROM.
I'm just trying to downgrade, but I found that flashing my old ICS ROMs in recovery won't work. I really don't want to use the flashtool, but if I have to, I will. Flashtool has just given me problems before and I don't want to brick my S.
Any ideas on how to downgrade from PAC (Jellybean) to ICS again using recovery mode?
P.S. Tried searching, not much came up related to the Xperia S so I wanted to ask.

Sv: [Q] Downgrade from Jellybean to ICS
Recovery... As of you have a backup? If not then flash ics kernel and install ics rom...
In this order..
Flash ics kernel
Wipe all.. System, data,cache, dalvik
Install ics rom
Reboot
Works for me

I do have a NANDroid backup (I think that's what they're called, anyway) but of course that gives me an error when flashing (something about the boot image.)
But I skipped the first step that you mentioned when flashing the ICS ROMs, which is to Flash the ICS Kernel.
Thanks! Worked.

I agree. Flashtool just gives problems.

Which backup you have cwm or twrp.?
U want to use ICS than try cm9.1.that's better.

Flashtool just works better on Linux... It will produce lots of redundant files on Windows. So if you only have Windows, try using a virtual machine. It works fine with VMware workstation.
Just use Flashtool to install official ICS first, and then install your custom ROM.

PACman ROM

Hey guys, recently i tried to switch from cm10(stable) to PACman ROM. Unfortunately, it never works. I always get "flash aborted". When I flashed cm10, I flashed the at&t version and it works fine, and the PACman I'm trying to flash is the tmo one. Should i try the at&t PACman instead? Please help me guys
Oh BTW, I'm on wind if that helps
Thanks to all that help or attempt to!

I did the wipedata, cache and dalvik, i wiped everything needed, i followed all standard directions for flashing new ROMs, but nothing works. And oh, im using CWM recovery and on rom manager it says im at the latest version, so everything is up to date and everything should work but it doesnt:crying:

I had same issue too. It never worked for me if I switch from CM to PACMAN ROM. But I had it working if I flash stock ROM first then flash PACman. Any stock based ROM should work. Its a pain but you should try it. Also I used TWRP and I always wipe system too not just cache, delvik, and data. Just make sure you have nandroid. Good luck.
Edit: also I never flash PACman ROM and gapps together. Flash ROM let it boot once and go back to recovery to flash gapps..
