help please with New Evo

[cbond007]

I recently just got a new evo replacement with HBoot 2.16.001. and I have rooted it with revolutionary. I thoroughly wipe 3 times before flashing roms, and every rom i try freezes up after it loads up. I unrooted and rerooted 3 times already and dont know what to do. Any help will be appreciated.

Please???

1, stop unrooting. What recovery are you using? If you're still using CWM, get Amon Ra form the Development section and use that instead. If you have ROM Manager, don't use that to flash ROMs. It's really a pretty useless app.

With Amon Ra, go to Wipe and wipe everything except SDCard: and Battery Stats, if you're not fully charged.

New ROMs need a lot of space, so look up the guide for partitioning, also in the Dev section and partition your card before you flash the ROM. Make sure the ROM you flash has DT A2SD baked in, or else, get that file and flash it in the same session you flash your ROM in.

And remember, it takes upwards of 10 minutes for some ROMs to boot up the first time.

I used R.A. with my first evo and never had any issues. Its just this new replacement evo that giving me the blues. I'm oldschool when it comes to flashing. I wipe everything except sdcard at least 3 times in R.A. Recovery. No matter what rom i flash, it will boot up but after about 30 seconds to a minute, it will freeze and i am forced to battery pull.

Have you tried just letting it sit and see what happens??
I know MIUI, older versions did that, but if I just let it sit, once for 20 minutes, it worked itself out, and that was always on the first boot up or two.

i did try that, and most of the time, especially with CM7 it would either sit there or reboot until i eventually just have to do a battery pull

I also just got two brand new EVOs. One I rooted no problem, the other is impossible to do. Using Revolutionary, I kept getting a partition write error no matter what I have tried. I am running out of idea.

The wierd part is that with the stock rom while rooted its ok. But as soon as i flash anything else whether it be aosp or sense, it will lock up on me shortly after it fully loads up. I have been flashing roms since the evo came out, and now that i have a new one, its giving me the blues

Have you tried reloading the RUU exe again and starting from scratch?
