Problem Flashing New Rom to HTC Evo 3D?!?!

Hey, I'm new to this forum, if im posting in the wrong section , plz move this. Thanks
I wanted to install a more stable rom on my Evo 3D. The rom I wanted is called TweakedSynergy rom. I go to Rom Manager, then click "install ROM from SD Card". I chose the "Synergy-3CVO_RLS1_08-21-11(NIGHTLY)". Rom Manager askes me to backup ROM + Wipe Data and Cache+ Wipe Dalvik Cache" i chose to wipe data and cache. My phone then reboots into recovery where CM starts to do its magic. but once it opens the file on the SD, Every time it tries to install it , it gives me an abort error like this one...
( view pic )
If any one knows what's causing this...please help me out.
Thanks

what version of CM are you using? i wasnt able to flash my 3d with any new versions, so try reverting back to CM 4.0.1.4. that may prove helpful if you are having the same problem i was. mine wouldnt even boot into recovery. after telling it to flash, it would just reboot normaly without ever getting into CW. you may also want to try TWRP. i have been having better luck with that for the past few days. hope that helps

I'm using 5.0.2.0, of CWM. How would I downdrade to 4.0.1.4?, and what is TWRP?
I'm going to try flashing a diferent ron and see if I get the same error. If I do ill might do a hard reset of the device reroot then flash synergy...but that's my last option. Don't really want to take that option.

TeamWin Recovery Project, they are on version RC2.01 I think; Although I have been running TWRP RC2.0 since it came out just fine.
What Hboot are you running?
Also if your new, I would suggest sticking to Release/Stable builds until you get the hang of it all; Nightlies can be unstable sometimes (Virus' builds are really nice though, I've been using minimalist as my daily driver for weeks now)

my mistake, im on HBOOT version 4.9. If i need to upgrade how do i do so?
also TeamWin Project ver 2.0 , that is only for the HTC Evo CDMA modle not the GSM model witch i have ...

Hahaha, I laugh at my self for this one.
The roms I was trying to install were not meant for my "model" phone.. CDMA & GSM.
I have a GSM model and not a CDMA, I was trying to install a CDMA on a GSM.
Wow I can't believe I could be that stupid...
Lol. Thanks for all the help.

If it is a sense ROM.. and you have hboot 1.14 or higher.. the WiFi partitions won't work.. no real fix other than downgrading your hboot.. not easy and could brick your phone.. I went non_sense ROM and all is good..

Do not downgrade its not safe many clam it is but if heard stories of ville bricking 2-3 weeks after downgrade.
two things that work to fix my wifi and yes im on hboot 1.14.00.4.
when you flash a new rom first use flash image gui app on your currant rom to flash boot img.
if you cant use flash image gui before flashing rom just fastboot the boot img using a pc then after new rom is up and running use flash image gui.
before flashing new rom wipe everything in recovery 3 times yes 3TIMES this does two things removes all traces of old rom and even thought twrp or cwm tells you it wiped it still might of failed. im noob at this but found all these tricks spending many hours reading and reading and reading and reading well you get what im saying. if anyone with more knowledge then me sees something wrong with what ive said feel free to let me know.

If he is using a sense ROM 4.1.2 or newer WiFi will not work period no matter how or what you use to flash it is a widely known issue for hboot 1.14

PAC-Man ROM works very well for me. The only thing that is missing is wifi calling. But I can live without it. Lots of tweaks!

Unless you really know what you're doing, I wouldn't go downgrading your hboot. I think its more or less a one way street. But I've had no problems with the 2.15 version that came with the jb ota. I'm alternating between various sense and senseless ROMs (currently using the job Nonsense ROM, which is excellent) and have no WiFi issues. As I said to the Dev, no WiFi would be a deal breaker for me.

You may need to upgrade your phones wifi firmwares to work with some (all?) Sense ROMs. Sense ROM's take their wifi firmware from two partitions (18 & 19). However on higher hboot firmwares these partitions are not writable - like a bad joke flashing them will appear to work but won't.
I'm dreaming up a workaround that just might fix this. Trouble is, I cannot replicate the problem - I downgraded my hboot and flashed them and curse it now it's working! You cannot get yours to work and I cannot break mine Please can you tell me your baseband version. settings -> about -> software information -> more.
Good news is that CM10 based ROMs will work out of the box, wifi and radio firmware is baked in the ROM and installed in the filesystem of the phone - so it's easily changed shoud the need arise.

Sofar the only 4.1.1 sense ROM that is playing nice with hboot 1.14 is Virtuous Ville+ I use it on a Tmo USA One S and its flawless. WiFi works perfect.

Hi
I flashed the Android Sense Best Stock v.3.0 by BehradGH on my TMOU One S with Hboot 1.14 Rooted S-ON This rom rocks so I didn't want to have to get rid of it to get my wifi back...
I've been bummed out and going nuts reading every post from downgrading/upgrading Hboots... to installing linux and going through the process of locking/unlocking.. blah blah blah... I was freaking out!
UNTIL I came upon this post tonight buried deep in the forums... I am admittedly a semi-noob.. well I know just enough to get myself into trouble... and out again haha ... but the post had a link to a .zip file that you can copy onto your internal storage... boot into cwm recovery and simply flash it from there... reboot... and voila... Instant wifi connection! IT WORKS!!
No repartitioning... no flashing radios or anything else...iit takes 3 minutes!
the page is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2151142
The zip file is called "htc_on-s_wifi_fix.zip"
I was skeptical at first... but willing to try anything at this point to get my wifi working on this awesome rom... so i copied it onto my sd card, rebooted into recovery in CWM, ... flashed the zip file, ...rebooted the phone and voila! Instant "wifi It immediately started searching for ip address" (it never got that far before... just said connection problems) ... 2 seconds later it found my network and connected to my in a flash!
My phone is going crazy downloading updates at lightening speeds!! WOOT!!
My sincere apologies to the poster who actually wrote this little script for not being able to thank and acknowledge him for his work... I had like 10 windows open and i couldn't find it... but he is my new hero!!
it's 6:30am in Boston.. sun is coming up... I've been up for 4 days... 24/7 ... going out of my mind trying to fix this... I'm going to sleep for a few days... with my phone charging with the wifi on right next to my head on the pillow

[Q](solved) Stuck on boot loop after several different jb roms

I recently bought my girlfriend a galaxy s II skyrocket. I own one myself. I updated my phone successfully and easily to jellybean through the official CM10. I am well aware of the different methods to install different custom roms to your phone. I received my girlfriend's phone with stock gingerbread. I proceeded to install the stock ice cream sandwich update to the phone through Odin. It was successful. I also installed ClockWorkMod recovery into her phone, the exact same one I had. I continued to attempt to install the same rom that I had on my phone, to my girlfriends phone, CM10. CWM said it was a successful installation after the careful 3x: Factory reset, Cache, Dalvik Cache. Upon rebooting of the phone however, the phone would fail to successfully turn on. It would stay in boot loop mode forever. One time I even left it for an hour and there it was, the boot screen I so dreadfully began to hate. I gave up on CM10, so i began to look for other prospects of a rom. I discovered slim bean. I installed it into my original phone to test it and found it to be of great quality. After I followed the exact same steps I followed to install slim bean to my original phone, to my girlfriends phone, the same result came about; boot loop. After about 20 tries, seriously, I tried to find yet another prospect of a rom. I also discovered another slimmer version of jelly bean for the Skyrocket. Even after the careful following of the steps, I encountered the same result; boot loop. I am beyond frustrated at this point at the fact that I am holding two phones exactly the same, yet when I attempt to install the rom, it only works on one of them. They are both Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrockets model numbers 1727. Both based off of At&t in the United States. One is white while the other one is black. If it makes any bit of a difference the phone I am having trouble with is white. I need help. I've tried everything with no success. I am trying to update this phone to jellybean but it does not seem to accept it, and I have no idea why

I've tried installing Official CM10.1 (from XDA) with boot loop result. I've tried installing unofficial 4.2.2 slimbean (from XDA) with boot loop result. I've tried installing Skyjellybean 4.1.2 update 11.4 (from XDA) with boot loop result, and finally I've tried installing Superlite CM10 JB 4.1.2 v8.0 (from XDA) with boot loop result as well. I am currently on stock Ice cream sandwich installed through Odin (links and all found from XDA)

Agree with mtdew.
Keep it as short as possible and be specific.
Get CM10 (not CM10.1 as it's still unstable) from http://get.cm/?device=skyrocket .
Also try latest CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777970 .

I discovered the issue! Even if it was the same recovery as my other phone i used to install these updates successfully, it was the recovery that was broken.

[Q] Kernel problem?

I was testing different roms last week. I must have had one flash bad. The phone would boot as normal but when any apps or menus were opened The phone would lock up. Rarely I would get process.android.blah blah blah has stopped, but usually nothing. When I tried tor reboot to recovery it would boot to odin but not CWM. I finally got it to boot to CWM, guessing just a fluke and loaded a different rom. I have tried 4 or 5 roms now all with the same result. If I reboot to recovery prom the power button I can get to CWM. But if I boot to recovery with the volume/power combo 9 out of 10 times I go to odin. I am guessing the kernel got corrupted by the bad flash since it happens with all roms I tried loadig. I am planning on trying to flash a new kernel. Any suggestions on which one will be the best for JMT rom? Or any ather in put? Thanks.

Which one is JMT ROM? Have never heard or seen that ROM on here. Just making sure, do you have an S Blaze 4g?

Jedi mindtrick, sorry. Yes it is a blaze 4g. I am pretty sure I narrowed it down to the kernel. I reloaded Blue Lightning rom and kernel and everything is running smooth. I would like to get back to using jedi mindtrick from ptmr3 since his roms seem to be the only ones built off of tmobile ICS for the wifi calling. When switching should I flash the rom or kernel first?

[Q] Infuse does not boot into recovery when using power menu option

I am currently on beanstalk build 275 (android KK), but when I try to reboot into recovery via the power menu, it doesn't work. I am in no way blaming this on the ROM. Instead I am looking for insight. This problem has existed for me since I installed ICS I believe. If I remember correctly, it was working on gingerbread ROMs just fine. Anyway, what happens is the phone proceeds to reboot, but instead of going to recovery after the samsung screen, it proceeds to the boot animation. I have searched around on xda for solutions for rebooting into recovery via the power menu and it seems that in the ICS days, the only way to fix it on ROMs that had this issue was to flash the SGS kernel if I remember correctly in order to get the right recovery and also regain the ability to get into it via all methods. The only problem is that I know that most newer ROMs use scott's modified kernel if I am not mistaken since there wasn't much development for our phone in terms of kernels after ICS. This means that if I take another ROM's boot.img (which I know contains our recovery), it will not change anything since I am basically installing the same kernel. So my question is would I have to go back to ICS in order to fix the problem there first then proceed to flash JB and KK? Thanks for any help or info you guys can provide :good: I hope I can resolve this soon since I find it convenient not having to power off then doing the three finger salute all the time
P.S.: Already asked in beanstalk Q&A also, but I did not get an answer and also I do not believe this problem is ROM related anyway as I said at the start of my paragraph

did you download the ROM Manager app from Google Play and try to boot from there?
if it's not working then
I think I would:
put the 255 build and 275 build and Gapps of your choice into SDcard1
then wipe everything on the phone + format the 4 options in advance + format SDcard0
flash 255 + Gapps as per instruction
flash 275 + Gapps per instruction

if that's not even working, then I put use the "SGH_I997 Entropy 4_4_2012-One-Click-Heimdall.jar" way

Ok so I've tried goo manager and also rom manager and neither worked. All that's left is to reflash the ROMs I guess or flash the heimdall package g-noob was talking about although I'm guessing that is a package made for ICS, so I shouldn't flash it with KK. I'll probably just flash back to stock and come back up to really check when the problem occurs as in which android version it starts in. Thanks for your suggestions though I'll report back later this week (probably on the weekend).

I installed it and tried the reboot to recovery option which didn't work either in this app. Thanks for suggestion also

Flashing back has worked so far
I flashed back to GB as I said earlier. So far all ROMs have indeed booted into recovery. I guess on my way up the other times, I hadn't followed instructions in detail since I have not experienced any issues that I used to get so far. Hope it keeps going that way anyway once again thanks to everyone for your help! If I have any problems, I'll let you know (currently on Helly Bean 4.2.2 which I just flashed). The real test will come when I flash JB 4.3 and KK which is where I used to have problems booting from power menu.
EDIT: Ok so basically my problems start occurring on jb 4.3. I noticed that going from 4.2.2 to 4.3, the recovery reports a status 7 error. I already know that means the recovery is "old", but the thing is, it allows you to do an install anyway which I usually do in order for it to convert the file system and install the newer recovery which it does. The only thing though is I guess it doesn't repartition correctly due to that status 7 error. So I guess my question would be how I should proceed to get a 4.3 recovery without flashing a ROM or if there's a way to proceed that I am not aware of? Do you happen to have any links @eZdubzitmk4 or @Judge Joseph Dredd or @g-noob ?

sorry, I can't help you as I encountered error 7 so many times and getting to CWM was just sheer luck on my part
maybe you should try flashing CWM community kernel (I am not sure what it does, but it makes me believe that my infuse is unbreakable

Haha thanks, it's not so bad anyway. At least I can get into recovery through the manual way (3 buttons) and at least the ROMs install like you said. I was just checking if there was a way to avoid the status 7 which is caused by incompatible partition layout (which is why you flash twice by the way;the second time it ignores the layout and just proceeds). I'll give the link a try by the way.
