[Q] Stuck at evo bootscreen issues

Hello Pals,
Recently I've been finding that when rebooting, my EVO hangs at the white boot screen. The only fix I've found for it is to pull the battery, reboot into recovery, wipe cache, then restart. Anyone have an idea of what I cocked up?
Yes, I wipe EVERYTHING upon installing any rom. I've tried Fresh, Cyanogen, Mik, Myn's rom. All of them do this, so obviously there is something wrong with the phone. I think I boogered it up with all the ROM flashing.

Do you keep flashing the same kernel or do you just use the kernel that comes with whatever ROM?

I've done both, but now using the kernel that comes preinstalled with whatever ROM i'm using. I haven't had this issue at all since yesterday. It's a launch day HW#2 EVO if it helps.

When you wipe "everything" what does it mean you actually wipe?
If it doesn't include [system/boot] use this: Calkulin's Format all

Hmm...
Maybe the next step would be to wipe the SD card and then wipe the phone entirely and then reflash your ROM and kernel.
There are files on the SD card that could cause issues [in android secure and sdext]

well, after a couple days of no issues the problem is back. i went ahead and flashed the format all zip, then cm again, turned off the phone while at work, and boom. stuck on the white evo screen.

I have this same issue. The only way I can get it passed the white htc EVO 4G screen is to pull the battery. It's so annoying. Were you able to resolve this?

[Q] Someone Help Please?

Hey guys, I seem to be having a problem on my phone recently.. Every time I start it up, or try to load an app or something, I get a message saying the process ends. This happens with Google Apps, Gingerbread Keyboard, Etc. I've tried wipe x3 then reflash, but it doesn't do anything.
I'm running
Genocide Kernel, Firmware 2.2.1, And Simply AOSP v3.1.2
I believe it's still on SFR 1.2 , but it's not saying that in the build number so I'm not sure..
someone please help.

If you have a good nand backup you can do a factory data reset and then restore advanced data. That will clear up any of the FCs. Or clear data in each of the apps giving you problems in settings>applications>manage applications>all and scroll to google services framework and click it and clear data. Do the same for the Gingerbread keyboard and any other app FCing.

I will try this, but the other problem is, it just started having problems with the android processor. Like, I did a restore, and all the sudden, I'm getting all the errors I was getting originally, and like the core & android processor thing is failing.

Sounds like you did not have journaling enabled. The Factory Data reset and a reflash of your ROM should fix it. Find out how to enable journaling for your ROM and do it.

I'm sort of new to this, so just one more question. Now, I had Syndicate Frozen Rom 1.2 on originally, then I flashed Simply AOSP 3.1.2 . Which one would I reflash, Simply AOSP or SFR?

I believe Simply AOSP is a full ROM including kernel so that would be what you would reflash.

EDIT: Thank you very much. I just did it and it's working very well. I think it might have messed it up because I was trying to load 2 kernels without knowing it. Thanks for all the help.

So theres no need to flash the Genocide Kernel I used for SFR?

When you install a new ROM like AOSP all of that is gone. If you want to do SFR and Genocide instead of AOSP then go ahead. We should get you up and running first though and then you know the steps to take when it screws up again.

Yeah Kenny is right, as usual. If you decide to try SRF 1.2, flash the ROM, then journal on zip, then the kernel you want to use then reboot and enjoy.

Thanks John, welcome to the party. I think what you suggest is exactly what he needs. He just PMd that after selecting another theme in Simply AOSP it started FCing again.

Thanks, I'm back on SFR 1.2 with no problems, but I didn't need to flash jounral on, so I don't know. Would you know what to do to get on Simply AOSP 3.1.2 , because it has a kernel built in.

Well, if you already have the ROM downloaded and it includes a kernel, all you should have to do is wipe everything 3x and flash it

I would suggest either pming or posting on the AOSP thread what setup you're on and how best to convert to their Rom. Sometimes they've heard of conflicts or tricks that they can walk you through. I love SRF, but if you want to explore, you should know what works best to transition. You'll get it going, just keep toying. Worst you have to do is Odin and that's not terrible for the phone now and again.

I gave up on it.. Went to EG22. Still debating on whether or not to go back to SFR / Simply AOSP.. because the battery life on RandomROM is absolutely amazing. But I'll PM him.

Guys, we need to stop telling people to wipe dalvik and cache before flashing a kernel. It's completely pointless.

Really. The kernel has nothing to do with the cache partition, so wiping it is literally useless. No need for it, only when switching ROMs, etc, but for kernels, no need.

I believe several kernel devs themselves have said it's completely useless to wipe. Has nothing to do with the kernel at all.

it was something else thar caused the bootloop. dalvik cache and cache involve your apps(system and user).

Something wrong

Something is wrong with my willy! I flashed a new ROM and suddenly my soft-key HOME stopped working! Although it vibrates the phone but doesnt work! The other 3 works but my HOME one doesnt work! I tried to flash other ROMs but the problem still exists!

Looks like a bad flash.By any chance are you using custom MTD partitions ?

Nope! Just the ROM and the gapps! First tried jordfaz CM9.1 and then MiniCM9! Same problem occurs! But I found out something strange! When I connect my PC to USB, then the HOME button works! But when I disconnect it, the problem reoccurs! Maybe something is wrong with the flashing! Will try again around 2-3 times then report about it!

Edit: Still not working! =(

Are you using minicm9? Because this rom is ported from x10 mini so there may be some bugs related to softkeys. Try flashing another rom.
One more thing does the home key work if you hold it?

I had this issue few times but a simple reflash with full wipes always worked for me!
May be your rom didnt get copy properly on your card or some files in your rom went corrupt.

Nope,there should be some change.It wont happen just like that.Now follow these steps and see if it works.
-Reboot in recovery.
-wipe data/factory reset.
-wipe cache.
-wipe dalvik cache.
-flash rom.
-flash gapps(ICS ones strictly)!
-reboot your phone.

I really think something is wrong with the phone! I tried different kinds of ROMs!
Jordfaz's ROMs:
CM 9.1: soft-keys not working and Google Play is not there!
MiniCM9: same problem!
Non-Official CM9 of ErwinP:
Stucks at bootscreen!
RemPuzzle of kylon:
Stucks at white HTC screen!
AAAARGHHGHG!

ok i think this problem occurred to me due to custom mtd.It happned to me when i set system partition less than what rom takes.Increasing system size and then doing a reflash always worked with me.That's all i had to offer sadly.

Dirty flash means that you don't wipe any of your partitions, so your flashing over current image. As long as the new file your flashing doesn't have a script which clears any partions your data and all that wil be fine. But at the same time it might not resolve your issue with the bootloops your getting.

Sorry about the settings, at least you got the data still.
Be careful deleting system stuff. Remember to make regular backups before messing with system stuff.
Also if it's an xposed setting, there is sometimes a flashable zip which can remove the xposed libs so that your system might be recoverable as well

Reinstalling the xposed bridge can be done via the app or getting it to create a flashable zip to do via recovery.
