Someone please help!!?! I cannot for the life of me flash a ICS rom. I have tried various methods but all to no avail. I have an Evo that I bought some time ago, rooted some time ago using HTC's bootloader unlock and then used adb to flash recovery and su to the phone to gain root. I have flashed many if not all sense roms no problem but now that I am wanting to flash an ICS rom It just won't let me. No matter the recovery I use after flashing an ICS rom it stays stuck on the first splash screen and will not load custom ICS rom. I have wiped all caches did factory resets and whatnot but still have not been able to flash an ICS rom
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Have you tried 4ext with smartflash?
ics
Hello are you using a super wipe tool after wiping cache and dalvik battery stsats then format system and format data and format boot and format all partitions except sd card and when this is done now use the super wipe tool and when its done it will reboot back in recovery and now you can flash any ics rom these are the steps i use with no problem's and yes 4ext is highly recomended
You're S-ON, you need to either use 4ext w smartflash or Joey Krim's Flash Image GUI in order to flash a kernel for ICS.
S-ON does not allow for flashing kernels except in fastboot mode, with 4ext/smartflash which was introduced 2 days ago evidently, or Flash Image GUI.
Easy fix
Thanks everyone. I finally got it to work using 4ext. I was so dead set on keeping twrp that I forgot to look for other recoveries.

unless you achieve s-off you will need to separately flash the kernel for that ICS based ROM. You can flash the kernel manually using fastboot from a computer
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
or you can use a kernel flasher or you could use 4ext recovery (just make sure you select that you have S-ON when it asks).
I highly recommend 4ext recovery. Once you try it you wont go back
I am have some issues booting any rom, i hav an unlocked bootloader, hboot 1.93.0003, emmc-boot and s-off with cwm touch recovery. I have tried with both speedrom and android revolution roms. They both instaled but they never boot up pass their boot animation screen, plz help
1st flash 4ext touch recovery using hasoon's AIO toolkit for amaze.
2) wipe /format
- wipe chache + delvik cache.
- wipe all partitions ( except sdcard )
3) install from zip.
- choose file to flash.
And then your Rom will work fine...
Hit thanks if I helped you !!! :thumbup::thumbup:

Greetings from Florida,
Don't use Clockworkmod recovery, it's bad.
Use Hasoon's toolkit to flash 4ext. It's much better.
You also need to be Super CID and have the ICS firmware installed.
Once you have that settled, go into 4ext recovery by either holding volume down and power, and choosing recovery, or reboot from hasoon's toolkit's menu.
Choose format all partitions and then flash either ARHD or SpeedRom. I also made some Roms that you might want to try out.
Please press thanks if this helps.
Best regards.
Wipe that sucker!
Then update to ics!
Then do everything you did, all over again.
Here's my situation--I had been running MeanBean for a while and decided to try Kush's KK build (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2518211&highlight=loop). I flashed the recovery he linked to, then installed the rom and gapps he linked to. TWRP said everything went successfully. But, when I reboot, the phone just hung at the HTC splash screen. I tried flashing again, downloading fresh and flashing again, wiping the cache, etc. Nothing worked.
So, I decided to go back to my last nandroid of MeanBean. But, after TWRP "successfully" recovered to the latest nandroid, I got stuck in a boot loop. The phone gets through the first part of the boot animation, then freezes and reboots. I tried installing a fresh version of MeanBean, flashing back to TWRP 2.6.3, but nothing has eliminated the boot loop.
I'm s-off and I've never gotten stuck like this before. Anyone have any thoughts?
Reboot to the bootloader and run the command "fastboot erase cache" from a command prompt, then try a fresh install. Are you sure you're S-off?

Thanks for the suggestion. I erased the cache from fastboot and did a fresh install of MeanBean. No luck--still in the same boot loop.

Have you tried fastboot flashing the boot image from the rom? You shouldn't need to if you're s-off but couldn't hurt if you're still getting boot loops.

Thanks, Fin. I tried fastboot flashing to boot.img separately (which shouldn't be necessary with s-off) after a fresh install, and I'm still in the boot loop. Any other ideas?
Go to recovery, do a full system wipe (data, system, Dalvik & cache) and re-flash the ROM after a fresh download. Really, though, you shouldn't have to wipe cache, since it's under /data.

Okay, did a full wipe, got a fresh download and installed. Still in the same boot loop. I also tried flashing TWRP fresh again. Any other ideas or am I bricked?

What ROM are you trying to flash at this point, and also, which recovery are you using, the one posted in Deck's OP, or one from the TWRP website? If you're trying to flash a 4.4 ROM, use the recovery posted in Deck's OP. If you're trying to flash a different ROM, use the regular TWRP recovery.

Trying to flash MeanBean, which is what I've been using previously. I flashed the regular 2.6.3 Jewel TWRP.
It sounds to me like you have the same problem I did. When in recovery and you wipe caches does it say failed? Look into your internal sdcard and if it is empty then it has been erased and corrupted. If so remove your sd card and plug your phone into your pc and mount usb. If it says the card needs to re-format then that is your problem. Re-format your internal sdcard and replace your external sd-card. Flash meanbean and reboot.

Hmm, don't think that's it. I've been able to mount internal storage and wipe the cache, etc. just fine.
I'm at a loss at this point as to what the problem might be. If you shoot me a PM I have one last option for you.

Hello!!
Im new to all of this rooting etc... I have been trying for several weeks to get rooted and a rom installed. After much reading I realized my phone need the ph44img.zip to get recovery installed. I have my phone unlocked through htcdev, installed cwm 5.0.8.2, installed supersu. I have tried several roms and can never get past the htc white screen. I have tried installing the reloaded rom which i heard was very good with this phone. I've tried mazwoz got the error status 7 message so i did the assert delete fix. installed it and same white screen. cyanogen same thing. I have been doing the factoryreset data wipe, cahe wipe, dalvik wipe etc. then installing the rom. Am I missing something or a step??? I thought i've read it all and followed all procedures.
htc evo 4g NOT lte kingdom
hboot 1.32.0000
radio 1.11.00.1116
Thanks in advance for any help!!

After you download a rom. Right click it and choose open, don't extract the zip file. Then look for the boot.img
Copy the boot.img to the folder where you have the adb and fastboot files. Then flash the rom in cwm.
Then type adb reboot bootloader, then fastboot flash boot boot.img Then reboot.
It should boot the rom then, instead of the white screen.
