I've been trying to put mazwoz ice or aokp or any other ics rom on my wife's evo but every time I do the phone Says I have no sd card, it ran cm7 for a while with no problems, and if I go to any sense rom (like the backup of synergy i made before trying all this) the sd card is there. I'm not as familiar with the evos progress as my phone is the epic (not touch). Can anyone suggest anything for me???

Are you flashing any additional mods kernels ect? What is the wiping process your taking to flash the rom? What recovery are you using?

I'm not flashing any additional mods, I'm using whatever kernels comes with the rom, I'm on cwm and
Installation:
Wipe cache, dalvik, and data
Install rom
Install gapps
Reboot (no SD card)
Install nandroid backup of synergy (SD card works again)

I wouldn't recommend using cwm it doesn't always wipe correctly. The most used recovery on the evo4g is amon ra recovery which I recommend. But if you decide to stay with cwm try doing factory reset through recovery twice then wipe dalvik cache twice

I usually wipe all three, 3 times each when flashing roms, but I will try out amon ra and go from there. Thx.

OK guys, lately I've been seeing a little too many people complaining about bootloops and UI crashes, etc when installing/flashing a new rom. This guide includes installing an update of the rom you're currently on that has been re-based as well.
The only reason I'm making this guide is so that users stop filling threads with these issues that are caused by user errors (99% of the time). I haven't bootlooped or had any problems at all when flashing a new rom and I can promise you that I am a huge flashaholic. Here are the steps for a TOUCHWIZ rom:
1. Download rom and calculate md5 checksum (this can be done using ES file explorer from the play store)
2. Reboot into recovery and make a nandroid backup! Can't stress this enough...
3. Do a FULL wipe. This is where I notice the error that most people make. You must do a wipe of data, cache, dalvik cache, preload AND SYSTEM.
- Don't just do a Factory reset, you must manually wipe system as well to prevent any issues. In TWRP this will be under advanced wipe, and in Philz touch recovery this is done by selecting the "Full wipe to install a new rom" option.
4. AFTER wiping all of the above mentioned partitions, then look for the rom in your internal/external SD card and install/flash it.
- if the rom has an aroma installer, sometimes it'll include a full wipe option in there, this doesn't mean that you can skip the full wipe done in step 2 of this guide.
5. Allow the rom to install everything and then choose the reboot option within your chosen recovery.
6. Let the phone reboot, input all of your info in the initial setup and then let the phone sit for a couple minutes. After this I usually reboot the phone again as a habit.
If you follow these steps to the T you shouldn't have any problems. I've yet to bootloop once on this phone with any rom. Now go and flash away!
Other possible issues/fixes:
- if you have a 64gb SD card, your current kernel or the kernel included with the rom you're flashing might not support 64gb SD cards in EXfat format. A fix for this would be to either flash another kernel that has 64gb SD card support or to copy everything from your SD card to a computer, format your EXfat sd card to fat32 format and then retransfer the files back to your sd card.
-some people have reported that moving the zip file from the internal SD to the external SD or vice versa has fixed flashing issues so make sure to try this as well, not sure why this works but it does sometimes.
-if a specific cause can't be diagnosed it's always recommended to restore your phone back to complete stock using Odin to flash stock firmware. Here is a link to the stock firmwares (I take no credit for that thread): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2335109
*Will add more info
Just in case.

The twrp has the system wipe option. I don't see that with Cwm, just factory rest/data, and the two caches

-Data wipe/Factory reset. In Philz CWM version when you chose this it stated "Wipe phone for new ROM"
Every recovery as far as I've seen has a system wipe option, just have to look for it. Only mention TWRP because I haven't used the other recoveries in a while.

Question, for restoring nandroid backup : before I first started to flash roms last week. I did the following with Twrp, backup, - wipe data and caches(no system), then I backup again before moving forward with the flash. My question is: can I just restore my second backup with just the system without the data.?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Why do you backup twice? And why would you restore just the system partition? You might as well just reflash the rom so you don't waste space having a system only backup.

A nandroid will restore your phone exactly how it was when you made the back up.
If I read it correctly, on the 2nd backup, you did a wipe before you did a backup.
So if you restored that 2nd backup, it will have wiped ROM (no data and will need to set up phone again). Hope that make sense.
Yeah that's what I want, I want to go back to that clean clean rom, I don't need my user data
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Then don't restore a backup for that. Just reflash the rom.

Cause I'm OCD when comes to things like this, seriously lol. I move all the backups to the external SD and my computer lol. So not too worried about taking up space. I just want to see if everything is working normally with the clean stock rom. I.e. Able to send MMS. Read and write to ext SD properly.

Well if you just want to go back to a fresh clean install there's no point in restoring a backup. Just reflash the rom bro. Any kernel changes or system app changes will still be there if you restore a system backup but won't be there if you reflash the rom (after doing full wipe that is).

Not sure what that could be. Did you check the md5?

I've been asking everyone it does this on alot of roms i flash the only one that worked was Alpha 5.0 but tried to go to 7.0 and did same thing. How do u check the Md5?
I currently have cm10 on 4.1.2 but I can't seem to update to 4.2 or 4.3 I tried the update in the settings and after my phone wipes everything it just goes back to the home page of TWRP. If I try to flash it manually I can't see the zip file when I'm in recovery. Am I doing something wrong?

I've tried moving it around internal and external into different folders. Its weird it really doesn't want me to flash it. But why cant I even do it through too manager? It does the same thing where it goes to the main TWRP screen

Easiest way.
1. Make a backup of your Internal memory.
2. Update to latest recovery.
3. Copy cm and gapps into the root of your external sd.
4. Wipe data, system, internal(yes that's why the backup).
5. Search for cm and gapps. Flash it.
6. Copy all to internal again.
7. Enjoy.

Also if you have TWRP forget about ROM Manager app. It only works(when that pos does) with CWM.

I figured it out guys. My phone was a hard brick before so my boot loader is old. I had to reflash the MD4 bootloads and flashed from there

I want to format my phone to clean all the crap files iv accumulated. If I format through twrp, will it just reinstall the current rom I'm running? Did this before on my s4, just want to make sure. Thanks guys

Like internal storage you meant? I always do that on top of cache and dalvik wipe to get a full clean install and no trace of previous rom. To be on safe side always have nand backup when doing that.

Yeah like if I go to wipe, then select all except system or that also?

Factory reset, advance wipe, then I wipe cache, dalvik, system, data and internal storage. I have all my back ups in external card including copy of titanium backup for data. Then I flash any custom rom.
