[Q] HTC EVO 4G Roms not working - General Questions and Answers

Hello everyone. My EVO lets me download ROMs but when I flash them on my phone it keeps re-doing the loading screen. I've used cyanogen mods 7.2,7.1,and 7.0 (all stable releases),Savaged- Zen, Fresh, OMJ, Myn, Salvage-Mod. I am using SOS(Swagged Out Stock) and I can't download any new ROMs I've restored my phone and it still wouldn't let me. Sometimes I can't even download any applications from the Market and some that I can they don't work. I just wanted to download Cyanogen Mod 7.2. Can someone please help?

Have you tried doing clean installs (format all partitions and factory reset before flashing a new rom)? You could also wipe the dalvik cache after flashing.

Yeah I have whipped dalvik cache and factory reset it and it doesn't work

Try reflashing the stock rom via fastboot and starting over.

Alright thanks for the help btw.

[Kernel] Restore GB 2.3.3 G2X Stock Kernel flashable zip

This is a flashable zip that simply returns your kernel and wireless.ko to stock GB 2.3.3 as delivered by LG in the update. This is for people who have played around with custom kernels and wish to go back to stock for whatever reason. Caveat: I have not tried the zip myself but one user has reported he has used it with success. This is a simple flash that simply replaces the boot.img and wireless.ko with the files from stock, so you should have no problems with it.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you brick your phone, void your warranty, or any other pain or suffering you may experience as the result of flashing this kernel.
Note: Always wipe the Dalvik Cache when flashing a new kernel. If you don't unintended consequences (i.e., boot stuck on LG logo or boot loop) may result. The first boot after flashing will take around five minutes or so. Please be patient and don't report your phone is bricked while it is still booting and rebuilding the Dalvik Cache, which takes several minutes depending on how many apps are installed.
Please report back any success or failures here.
Enjoy!

I was wondering if there was away to revert back. Thanks alot. Hey i got a question I am still a noob and I just stsarted changing kernels but Have been flashing for a while. I asked whast needs to be done before I flash and was told to wipe cache but nothing else is needed. I am haveing a problem with the new EB 2.1 and trinity kernels. When I do a hard boot to fix data it reboots twice the second one being a normal boot so I still dont have data. Should I try to wipoe dalvik and cache would that fix it if no do you have any suggestions?

ONLY the D. Cache should be cleared right?

Yes. The Dalvik Cache is the crucial thing you need to clear when you flash any system file, kernel, etc. If you don't a bootloop or stuck boot is a likely result. If you flash a different rom then you should wipe the system also to be safe.
reason is because I've been clearing the Cache partition as well, I'm not sure if I was suppose to do that, lol.

No reason to clear normal cache. In fact, if you use Rom Manager, that will delete the recovery it flashed as that is where it keeps it.

Boot CWM, wipe /system, /cache (cache), dalvik cache, reflash rom, reboot.
All good thank u! Just restored back to cyclonic! Let's Go Giants!!!
First time I've heard of something like this, maybe next time ask the developer of the rom?

That should work, but the roms do wipe cache and dalvik-cache for you already so it's going to take a long time to boot up. Also every aosp rom already wipes system before installing just a fyi.

Yes that's what I said. Can you show me one that doesn't? And it should be a mainstream rom too like cyanogenmod, miui ect. Just show me one mainstream aosp rom that does not wipe system.

LG p500 bricked due to multiple flash

First of all I'm new to this forum.I've not find any specific ans to my issue so I'm creating this thread.I've installed custom ROM Oxygen,Franco Kernel to my LGp500 through clockwork MOD recovery.It was working perfectly.
Now the prob is that with my over enthusiasm of flashing and testing new things.I've flashed the same ROM thrice and kernel twice(such an idiot I'm).Now My Phone has become unresponsive or bricked(in tech jargon).When I switch on the phone Its showing LG logo but after that it freezes out there,No key is working,nothing is booting,I've tried several time but it ends up same thing.So to end up the process I was removing battery everytime. Though with power+home+vol(-) clockworkmod working fine.
PLz plz help..I've no other phone to use..

Do you have a nandroid to restore from? If you don't, try wiping everything (data, cache, and dalvik) and just flash the ROM, and reboot.
It sounds like you've soft bricked your phone and i've done it many times myself. Simple fix, just clear all cache, format everything and do a fresh flash of rom.
I don't see that you have answered yet. Did you get it to boot after clearing data as well?

[Q] Stuck on bootscreen after flashing [JB]Unoffical MIUI 2.9.14 Skyrocket[PORT]

Hello Pros! First post, semi-noob here.
I tried flashing the newest [JB][CM10Based]Unoffical MIUI 2.9.14 Skyrocket 9/14/12[PORT] today. I followed all instructions; I wiped wiped wiped, factory and Dalvik, and flashed the kernel.
But I am always stuck on the MIUI bootscreen, and can never fully load up the ROM. I've tried wiping and re-flashing several times, to no avail. I have not had any problems flashing roms before this. Any help or ideas of what causes this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much!

Try reflashing. But when u get into recovery go to extras/darkside tool. And click on the super wipe(idr what's its called but there's only two options.) When that's done factory reset format data/system 3x if u want.( Couldn't hurt) then flash ROM! All should be good... if not keep this thread open. Lol and well try something else. But hopefully that works. Good luck!

Really? Damn. Are u on the latest recovery? If not try flashing the newest. Then do the steps again in my last post. Can't believe your having all these troubles!
Oh also u could try fixing permissions. After doing all the wipes and after flashing. Go to dark side tools again and do the cashe wipe! Then go back to advanced and fix permissions again.
Can you boot into recovery or not? If you can, just flash the rom. If you can't, yank the battery, replace it. Then, hold down both volume buttons, the press the power button, release all the buttons, you should be able to get into recovery.

Wow, still stuck on the boot screen even after the darkside cache wipe. I flashed CWMR Touch v6.0.1.3 by sk8erwitskil which is the newest CWM recovery as far as I believe, and the recommended recovery for this ROM. I EVEN flashed TWRP 2.2 just for the heck of it and flashed MIUI with that and still the same result; stuck on bootscreen. So I'm pretty sure it's not the recovery.
I did a darkside superwipe, and a darkside cache wipe, along with factory reset & format data/system 3x. The rom installs in recovery just fine. It's just once i reboot, i get the MIUI splash loading screen indefinitely. I'm not sure what could be causing this since I do all the important wipes (plus the darkside wipes now) each time. I think I have BAD LUCK!
You'll have to use odin, and reroot your phone.
Have you checked the MD5 of the ROM? If it's a bad DL it could flash just enough of it to loop you.

I had the same problem, but while my phone was stuck on the MIUI boot screen i pulled the batter, got into recovery again and simply did a factory data reset just once and then it booted up, but my issue is that i get no data at all no mater what version of MIUI I try to flash.

Ya I agree try downloading it again. Check the md5 and flash that ROM again. If it doesn't work your gonna have to Odin!
There were a lot of complaints of boot loops when flashing, so I pulled the DL link. I actually stopped using miui and moved back to CM or AOKP, depending on which one is most stable at the moment. Every once in a while I give miui a try, but I never stick with it. If you want miui, I suggest you follow Lithium's thread. His version is the officially supported miui rom.
I can confirm heres what i did to fix i had the boot loop.. all i did was run DARKSIDE Superwipe x2 Times. Then i installed MIUI Rom. Then i Factory Reset. Try booting wait a little bit. If still not going threw remove battery and boot to recovery and factory reset one more time then reboot. So once again.
1. DARKSIDE SUPERWIPE x2++ 2. Install MIUI Rom. 3. Factory Reset. 4. Boot. 5. (If still looping) Remove battery Then recovery. and Factory Reset and boot again. Your welcome

[Q] Failed upgrade - now soft bricked

Hi all...
I tried to upgrade by Tab 2 7" to KitKat today and failed. I installed Clockworkmod successfully, but then started getting error 7's. I discovered this was because it was outdated. I've tried to install updated clockwork mod which it says has been successful - but doesn't change the original.
I did a backup of my original rom, but this has failed to reinstall. I've tried to put an old version of cyanogen on it, which also has failed, and re-downloaded the stock rom from samsfirmware which passes through ODIN, resets but then the tab 2 hangs on the Samsung screen - flashing.
I can't seem to resolve it.
Has anyone got any ideas? I can't access anything other than clockworkmod - so if you think you know of a way I can successfully upgrade it I may stand half a chance.....
Thanks
Tim

Use Odin to restore to the stock ROM. Download the stock rom from samfirmware.com and flash it in Odin as PDA. Then, use the latest recovery (either TWRP, CWM, OR PhilZ) from @Android-Andi's recovery thread in the Dev section. You should now be able to flash any ROM you want to. Make sure you do a backup and a wipe system, cache, Dalvik, data, and android secure (if it's an option.)

Yes, I did twice and it's still hung after apparent success installation according to Odin. I've tried it twice.
No success

What I've done tonight is reflashed the original Rom - this time it blew away Clockworkmod. It still wouldn't boot. I then put a recovery solution on from your link, which has flashed well. However I've then tried three ROMS and each have hung after installation on the initial boot.
I'll try them again tomorrow night - but do you have any idea why three ROMS plus the stock keep failing?

Did you wipe system, cache, Dalvik cache, and data before flashing and wipe cache and dalvik after flashing? And your tablet will bootloop after a reinstallation in Odin because Odin does not wipe before installation. After flashing in Odin, reboot recovery (make sure tablet is unplugged,) and wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache. Reboot and you should be good to go.

Hi, I've retried all that this morning-i must admit that I didn't know about wiping cache after install, however it's not made any difference, and still hangs on first boot...
Any other ideas? Thanks for all your help.

Hi all
Thanks for all your help,especially rcj! I have managed to recover my device using cynagodmod 9 - it wont run 10 or 11 but at least its up and working - even if it's a downgrade from the Android version I was on Really don't care as I can use it again with a lot more memory.
Thanks - without you I would never have found Phils ROM which enabled me to get this far.

Which version of PhilZ? And I have found that TWRP 2.7.1.0 works better than other versions for KK.
Sent from my SGH-T989
Use latest Philz touch recovery. And use the rom and gapps compatible to your tab. Don't forget to reset to factory setting, clear cache and wipe dalvic cache before flashing the rom and gapps ☺
